Daily Horoscope for Cancer Summary

The energy shifts a little bit this week, with Mercury going direct. As always, the Mercury retro elements have a tendency to linger until it's back into full speed ahead mode again, and that will be applicable today. You are going to want to stay aware of the recent things you've learned and the perspective it gives you, as you'll have some opportunities to put these to use.

Aside from that, we have a couple other things going on. First is the Sun connecting with Uranus. This is going to kickstart a lot of people's senses of creativity. I'll liken it to my idea for a cheap, automatic sock folder from earlier this retro, which presently looks like a market deficiency. One of you will probably steal this idea now and make a million bucks; when you do, remember ol' Bud (at least send me a free one).

Mars also sits in between Saturn and Pluto, drawing off both of them. This can perpetuate some of the uneasiness that's been going on with any work issues, though that aspect is trying to fade. As Mars moves closer to Pluto through the week though, you're going to see more destructive tendencies arise. Be careful about tearing things down without good reason, and also without a good replacement plan. This also applies to items, so be more careful with your stuff.

Lastly, you have Venus oppo Jupiter, which can create some short term-long term desire conflicts. Are you bailing on better rewards down the line in order to get a cheap thrill now? Are you sticking with bad situations out of dumb principles that don't hold up under scrutiny? Weigh both sides of these types of scenarios before you make decisions.

Overall, there's quite a bit of tension in the chart, but relative to the recent energy, at least it's set up to not hit you all in the same spot at the same time. There will be some challenges, but also some opportunities. This is really one of those "stick with it" kind of charts where going through some adversity creates better situations for you in the future. The main thing is to avoid getting fed up, flipping over your war room table and starting from scratch. Work within the situations you're in for solutions, as they're out there. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Cancer

When you're looking for something, you're going to want it to be a certain way, meeting certain conditions. Having some standards is fine, and to an extent, this shapes what you get, but you have to allow for some elements of the unknown to occur as well. This is a time where a lot of the magic and surprise that makes things better can occur, but only if you give it the opportunity to. If you're dead set on controlling every minor detail, you're going to end up snuffing out the possibility for these unexpected developments to happen.

...Show some Love...

Today's Astrology Quote of the Day:
Failure or success seem to have been allotted to men by their stars...
But they retain the power of wriggling, of fighting with their star or against it, and in the whole universe the only really interesting movement is this wriggle...
~ E.M. Forster

Daily Tao

Look at it, it cannot be seen
It is called colorless
Listen to it, it cannot be heard
It is called noiseless
Reach for it, it cannot be held
It is called formless
These three cannot be completely unraveled
So they are combined into one

Above it, not bright
Below it, not dark
Continuing endlessly, cannot be named
It returns back into nothingness
Thus it is called the form of the formless
The image of the imageless
This is called enigmatic
Confront it, its front cannot be seen
Follow it, its back cannot be seen

Wield the Tao of the ancients
To manage the existence of today
One can know the ancient beginning
It is called the Tao Axiom
