Daily Horoscope for Gemini Summary

Two big things to keep in consideration for today: The first is the retrograde nature of the energy. We've got Mercury retrograde up through Friday, and this is going to tend to take us back into the past. Many of us will tend to reminisce about the good times, the dreams we've had, the experiences that did happen, what we would've preferred to change and what instead has stayed the same. For some of us, we can redevelop old habits we might've thought we'd conquered along the way. For others, it becomes too tough to deal with the present while immersed in these fantasies based in the past. It's important to address the past, but in the sense of "How is this going to affect my future?" You can't fall into the trap of rewriting the past (within the mind) because this isn't possible. It turns into empty wishing and you never make actual progress. Focus on where you're heading and deal with things in the present, but also remember to learn from past mistakes.

On the flipside, we've also got a Mars-Saturn aspect heating up that is going to be active all week. For many, this is going to mean there is just too much to do and not enough time to do it. You're going to have to prioritize your activities, and you're certainly going to have to avoid stalling or wasting time when you could be productive. When you aren't doing something you're supposed to, you're only eliminating the possibility to do the things you want to do (or conversely, not accomplishing your responsibilities and having to deal with the consequences that brings). It can lead to some marathon days to be sure, but you have to do your best to keep up. Focus on being efficient, and above all, treat time as your greatest resource. Everything this week boils down to time and how much of it you have. If you take care of that time and value it, you'll be much better off in the grand scheme of things. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Gemini

Before you look outward, first you need to have assurance that things close to home are taken care. You can spend more time reaffirming your bonds with close friends and family, though this doesn't necessarily mean you can sift through any ongoing arguments as you'll have a difficult time admitting when you're wrong. You might also tighten up your propensity to spend, instead hoping to save up for something big that will have a more significant impact on your life.

...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
