Daily Horoscope for Gemini Summary

Maybe Henry Clay could save us, but he’s been dead a hundred and fifty years. You can see dissent rising here in the US. Watch the news (entertainment) media. Troll internet news site and read blogs, and read comments on blogs. On one hand, I’d say we as a people are becoming more informed than we’ve ever been, which is important, but on the other, we are not using the information to our best benefits. And there is a reason for this. It’s called winning.

Look at the debates emerging about hot-button topics. Immigration and Arizona’s law regarding the enforcement of it. Healthcare. The economy. Usage of government funds. The “Tea Party” trying to “take back” the country and liberals trying to give everything they could conceivably come up with away. But if you read the comments, listen to the rhetoric and hear what people are saying on the issues, it all comes back to “winning”.

Those engaged aren’t trying to solve problems, they are trying to win arguments. It’s large political and starts from the top down. Everyone wants to be “right”. In political circles, this makes sense because it’s about job preservation. But us, the common man, this has afflicted us and it further drives the wedge between people. It serves us no purpose. It only builds hard feelings and further cements the “team” mentality that afflicts political debate. That is what is wrong with politics in this day and age. It’s us versus them. It’s the same as sports only there are no balls.

This shortsighted view will crush us if it continues to snowball. There is a middle ground. There is a gray area. Henry Clay would have found it. Everyone is chasing the ideal, and it’s eminent in the astrology, but concession and cooperation are the only way to fix things. If we’re only trying to win, then we all lose. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Gemini

Individualism is important to you, but you’re going to have some trouble shining in front of others because they won’t be concerned with your unique traits. A negative response on this front can cause you to shut down in an emotional sense. You might internalize things much more following some form of rejection. What’s important is that you find ways to overcome this and open up once again. When you can share what’s on your mind, you will be infinitely more influential in the world around you. Sulking and isolationary behavior is taking the easy road out. If you fall off the horse, get right back on.

...Show some Love...

Today's Astrology Quote of the Day:
Astrology is assured recognition from psychology without further restrictions, because astrology represents the summation of all the knowledge of antiquity...
The fact that it is possible to construct, in adequate fashion, a person’s character from the data of his nativity, shows the validity of astrology...

Daily Tao

When it is peaceful, it is easy to maintain
When it shows no signs, it is easy to plan
When it is fragile, it is easy to break
When it is small, it is easy to scatter
Act on it when it has not yet begun
Treat it when it is not yet chaotic
A tree thick enough to embrace
Grows from the tiny sapling
A tower of nine levels
Starts from the dirt heap
A journey of a thousand miles
Begins beneath the feet

The one who meddles will fail
The one who grasps will lose
Therefore, sages do not meddle and thus do not fail
They do not grasp and thus do not lose

People, in handling affairs
Often come close to completion and fail
If they are as careful in the end as the beginning
Then they would have no failure

Therefore, sages desire not to desire
They do not value goods that are hard to acquire
They learn to unlearn
To redeem the fault of the people
To assist the nature of all things
Without daring to meddle
