Daily Horoscope for Capricorn Summary

A eulogy for the garage:

For many people, in their youth (and often beyond that), there are familiar haunts, the old stomping grounds where you regularly meet up and hang out. You might venture to other areas, but there's usually one or two set hang out spots where you go most often, where you feel most comfortable. For the guys in my circle, the spot of our late teens and early twenties was the garage. It was big, could seat 15 guys comfortably (though admittedly there were many nights where guys had to stand up because there weren't 15 chairs) and it was shelter from the wind on many a winter nights. The other guys' moms or dads would drop them off on Friday afternoon and come to pick them up on Sunday night. During the days we'd go off on our regular adventures or play sports of some sorts, and then at night we'd get drunk in the garage.

It was usually rather cold in there during the winter, and most of the time the lights didn't work so we'd have to light a bunch of candles for light, but it served its function of being the chief hang-out spot for a long time.

Predominantly, the only thing really to do inside was talk (or as we liked to call it "philosophizing"). We'd talk about all sorts of topics, many of importance, some revolving around politics or political theory, others around our wishes out of life, some about girls we knew, and others that are best not to mention here. I suppose when you're young, life is so full of possibilities and you give anything a shot.

Anyways, that's what I'll take away most from the time in the garage, is getting to really know your friends and the discussions about hopes, wishes, possibilities and potential. It's probably been around 10 years since the last time any of us hung out inside, but it still was the primary location upon which all of our tightest friendships were formed. I'll miss that aspect, but hey, now the yard'll probably be bigger.

Anyways, today's astrological tie-in is this. The Sun, Mars and Neptune are all hanging out in Aquarius and this is going to put an increased emphasis on exploring the same types of hopes, aspirations, wants and possibilities that we used to talk about back in the day. The Sun and Neptune will conspire to think up cockamamie ideas and Mars, much like the "liquid courage" (booze) we used to consume, will push us to take action on the ideas we come up with.

So in all, it's a day of dreaming, but it's also a day putting those dreams into action. In most cases, this will work out to be beneficial, but you do want to watch out for "the guy who takes things too far", because that potential is definitely out there today too. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Capricorn

This energy will affect your sense of value in the things around you. It might increase sentimental value you have for items that normally you fail to notice. You can also see the potential for additional use in the items you have nearby. In assessment terms though, it cause you to assume that monetary values are equal to appraised values (rather than a price someone is actually willing to spend on it). You're going to be more willing to share your opinions with others, and this might lead you to exposing some ideas that others weren't previously aware you had.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

Those who wish to take the world and control it
I see that they cannot succeed
The world is a sacred instrument
One cannot control it
The one who controls it will fail
The one who grasps it will lose

Because all things:
Either lead or follow
Either blow hot or cold
Either have strength or weakness
Either have ownership or take by force

Therefore the sage:
Eliminates extremes
Eliminates excess
Eliminates arrogance
