Daily Horoscope for Cancer Summary

The current chart can keep tensions high at times, but overall it should be less stressful than what we've been used to over the last couple weeks. A lot of the stronger aspects have died down, leaving us primarily with Sun-Mars and Pluto-Jupiter.

The Sun-Mars connection is going to keep people acting aggressively and pushing for the things they want. It's a good time to get things done, and people will in general have more motivation and energy to get to work on things. Emotionally this can hit in two ways, where you can either get angry when things don't go your way or pumped up when they do. The trick is to keep things positive, as this will keep you moving forward. If you start complaining about others, these things can escalate into distracting squabbles that prevent you from getting ahead.

The Pluto-Jupiter connection will continue to linger for a while, and it can cause issues with your bigger aims and ambitions. People might struggle to define goals, or they might find their desire for things they once wanted starts to drop off hard. There's also a propensity to bail on things when they seem to get too difficult. It's a lot to work through, but at the same time, this is one of those transits that the universe asks us to "prove we really want something". It's an opportunity to back away, but it's also an opportunity to say to yourself, "I'm not going to let this stop me." So figure out what you want today and go after it. Don't stop because things get a little harder and let your determination shine through. There's the potential to achieve great things if you put your mind to it. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Cancer

The pursuit of material things will be high on your mind right now, and you're going to want to put together a list of things you want and get to working on obtaining them. You should have seemingly endless energy once you do have a goal like this set out. Other types of wants can drag behind though, and they'll also be much harder to obtain. You can't control what people around you are going to do, so anything interpersonal has to be built upon a foundation of consensus. Your focus and perspective on dealings with others should be from the viewpoint of a team, not as an individual.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

A strong military, a tool of misfortune
All things detest it
Therefore, those who possess the Tao avoid it
Honorable gentlemen, while at home, value the left
When deploying the military, value the right

The military is a tool of misfortune
Not the tool of honorable gentlemen
When using it out of necessity
Calm detachment should be above all
Victorious but without glory
Those who glorify
Are delighting in the killing
Those who delight in killing
Cannot achieve their ambitions upon the world

Auspicious events favor the left
Inauspicious events favor the right
The lieutenant general is positioned to the left
The major general is positioned to the right
We say that they are treated as if in a funeral
Those who have been killed
Should be mourned with sadness
Victory in war should be treated as a funeral
