Daily Horoscope for Cancer Summary
In the internet era, hyperbole has reigned as king and words don't mean what they used to. The impact of a lot of words has been watered down. There's some rebound in some of the newer youth slang out there (big thumbs up to "mid"), but most of the people my age and older have been existing for the last 20-25 years in a social world where you have to shout to extremes for attention, in the scant hopes you're heard over everyone else.
At the same time, we are chicken (metaphorically). We take on the flavor of whatever we're marinating in. If all of the media you consume has a certain flavor, you start to reflect that flavor. If you started predisposed to that flavor, you emphasize it even more the longer you're immersed. And also like chicken, it's hard to change the flavor if you botched it.
We're in an election year. Rhetoric is charged. People want to make hyperbolic claims about "preserving democracy" and "we must defeat the other candidate". I'm getting old. I don't want to defeat someone on the other team. I just want politicians who want to defeat the damn potholes in the street, and who want to defeat $20 "mid" hamburgers and defeat the social problems that come with things like homeless encampments and unchecked immigration.
We're all stewing in a pot of discontent. The social media era has magnified this - it didn't invent it, but it's strengthened its reach. Our current chart is one where that discontent can boil over, into our words and into our actions as well. This is going to linger a little while. Some people might be out there banging the drum of revolution. The democrats don't think Biden can win. Trump supporters are out there saying he's touched by the hand of God. Centrists think the whole country lost its damn mind (and it has). That's the marinade we're swimming in. Be the spice that changes the flavor to something better. Defeat problems, not people. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Cancer
Mentally, you might be ready to abandon certain dreams, even if you've invested a lot into them already (both monetarily and via your effort). Others might try to get you to stick to them, but you'll have to decide whether that's out of self-interest for them, or if they're legitimately looking out for you. You might not have a lot of good answers to choose from on that end, but being reactionary is your worst bet here. It's still better to choose a terrible option with some kind of plan than a mediocre option with no idea where you'll go from there.

Daily Tao
There is something formlessly createdBorn before Heaven and Earth
So silent! So ethereal!
Independent and changeless
Circulating and ceaseless
It can be regarded as the mother of the world
I do not know its name
Identifying it, I call it "Tao"
Forced to describe it, I call it great
Great means passing
Passing means receding
Receding means returning
Therefore the Tao is great
Heaven is great
Earth is great
The sovereign is also great
There are four greats in the universe
And the sovereign occupies one of them
Humans follow the laws of Earth
Earth follows the laws of Heaven
Heaven follows the laws of Tao
Tao follows the laws of nature
