Daily Horoscope for Cancer Summary

The chart's pretty active today and it can get pretty emotional at times, especially as you're trying to sort everything going on around you. The big thing here is to avoid jumping to conclusions, because the way the chart is set up, you're prone to misinterpreting things that need a clear head and a firm grasp on details to be able to comprehend. When you're in a position where you're trying to fill in those details mentally because you don't have answers, you can tend to get off track. So above all, if you don't have all the information you need, go obtain it before making big decisions.

Your communications can be a little wonky with others today too, so keep that in mind. Others can tell you things in an attempt to be helpful, but it's up to you to listen to them and make the most of it. A lot of things can tend to go in one ear and out the other though. In some ways, it's almost like you're trying to hear one thing and looking for validation for it, even if everyone around you is saying something else.

Ultimately, this is a chart that feels rough, but can have some positive benefits if you slow down and deal with things on your plate like routine things to do. Just handle what you can and take it one thing at a time. Avoid letting your emotions get the better of you and look to others when you need help or need someone to talk to. Above all though, listen to what people are saying and look for verification when something seems questionable. When you're dealing with facts, this energy can work out well. When dealing with assumptions, you can end up being a bit jerky about everything. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Cancer

The vibe from you can be a bit colder than normal, which might keep your conversations from getting too deep. When others talk to you today, they might sense an agenda, because you're very likely to have one and stick to it. You can go into encounters looking to achieve a goal, and once that's done, you'll look to move on. It's not an incredibly social set up (unless you're involved in some larger event that serves a greater purpose), so be amiable where you can and avoid treating others like a box to check off while handling your business.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

In using the military, there is a saying:
I dare not be the host, but prefer to be the guest
I dare not advance an inch, but prefer to withdraw a foot

This is called marching in formation without formation
Raising arms without arms
Grappling enemies without enemies
Holding weapons without weapons
There is no greater disaster than to underestimate the enemy
Underestimating the enemy almost made me lose my treasures

So when evenly matched armies meet
The side that is compassionate shall win
