Daily Horoscope for Gemini Summary

The prevailing energy right now is rough, but this weekend, the Universe throws us a bone. Yup, that's right, it's time for Mercury retro again! So not only can things be challenging in and of themselves, but now they can often lack any semblance of sense!

But around these parts, we don't wave the white flag of defeat, and neither should you. There are plenty of ways to get ahead; you just have to navigate around the madness. Here's the game plan:

Mercury's lingering in Taurus for now, which can attack your sense of value. This makes you prone to buying some absolutely terrible stuff now (especially when it's spur of the moment). This is a Mercury retro standard, but it's almost kicked into over-drive. Be really careful with your finances, and realistically, you shouldn't buy anything significant if you haven't already planned on it, and researched what you're getting. We all know what happens when we assume...

On a personal level, stubbornness will reign supreme in our interactions. We've got to be right, they've got to be wrong. From afar, when left to rant about those beyond our immediate presence, this is fine. But in more intimate relationships, this can be a bit worrisome. Some relationships, ones that have had a ton of work put into them, can be cast aside just because of pride, because neither side can say "I was wrong", or "This is stupid, let's make up". Don't be in one of them. It'll hurt, but you have to stay open-minded and sometimes you need to concede defeat, just because losing the battle helps you win the war.

Lastly, everyone's going to be a bit wonky here. In many situations, you can get into a jam because someone else isn't paying attention (especially when driving), so be super alert out there. When you can, be supportive of others, because this will score you a ton of credit in the long run. And go with the flow. If you can keep a positive attitude and adapt to whatever comes your way, you'll end up doing just fine. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Gemini

Things aren't going to work themselves out for you, though somewhere in the back of your mind, you can easily start thinking this. This energy requires a good bit of effort on your part, which is partially due to the fact that you'll probably mess things up a couple of times first before you finally get them right. Don't get discouraged. Have faith in your abilities and in the fact that you'll eventually find acceptable solutions. Don't be afraid to share what you're feeling with others here as well; relieving any mental burdens will better equip you to deal with physical ones.

...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

Those who hold an abundance of virtue
Are similar to newborn infants
Poisonous insects do not sting them
Wild beasts do not claw them
Birds of prey do not attack them
Their bones are weak, tendons are soft
But their grasp is firm
They do not know of sexual union but can manifest arousal
Due to the optimum of essence
They can cry the whole day and yet not be hoarse
Due to the optimum of harmony
Knowing harmony is said to be constancy
Knowing constancy is said to be clarity

Excessive vitality is said to be inauspicious
Mind overusing energy is said to be aggressive
Things become strong and then grow old
This is called contrary to the Tao
That which is contrary to the Tao will soon perish
