Daily Horoscope for Gemini Summary

Today's energy is all about power. So it's going to be a little weird that I start off with a story about Olive Garden. I like Olive Garden (which is probably sacrilege being of partial Sicilian descent, but the lasagna is tasty, so back off). Me and my buddy Jaret have been going there to eat for years. Jaret, like myself, is 30, went to college, went to Ranger School, studied to become a surveyor, became a surveyor, and now there's no surveying work, so he's now unemployed. Anyways, a couple of weeks back he gets a job at Olive Garden, where he's going to work as a waiter. I'm pumped, because hey, employee discount.

Tonight we go out to eat, and he tells me he got canned from Olive Garden after two weeks. I'm like why? He's a smart guy, has worked in restaurants before; it's a little shocking. Apparently, he mistakenly wiped out an order cause he hit the wrong button on their touch screen, but he was able to redo the credit card info, the Olive Garden gift card any everything but a two-dollar coupon. That's supposed to come out of his tips. A manager who works there told him to trade the coupon off to someone else for two bucks, and they can throw it on an order and he can get his two bucks; an unwritten rule they say. He tries to do this, but some other waitress he talked to complains to the general manager, who's obligated by the rules of their job to report it to Corporate. Corporate dubs this as “fraud”, and orders Jaret to be immediately terminated. Over a two-dollar coupon. At a job he's had for two weeks, where he's still learning the ropes. Power.

So since Olive Garden a. believes my buddy is masterminding some scheme to bankrupt them one two-dollar coupon at a time, or b. cares so little about discarding new employees over menial mess-ups, I figured I'll share this heaping pile of BS with the multitude of people who read our horoscopes. And this is the crux of today's energy; when you try to over-exert your influence, others are going to resist and push back, and it's going to make even small situations a mess. So look for balance and fairness in the things that you do and with the people you interact with, or else you too can get sucked into an abyss you don't really want to deal with. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Gemini

You might hold some information right now that you're just dying to let out. This can often put others in a negative light though; the temptation to embarrass or otherwise sully their reputations in order to make yourself look better is something you'll have to fight off. I mean, you can go there if you so choose, but keep in mind that just because you snipe first, it doesn't mean others won't snipe back in retaliation, and you might not hear what they have to say as a response.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

Higher people hear of the Tao
They diligently practice it
Average people hear of the Tao
They sometimes keep it and sometimes lose it
Lower people hear of the Tao
They laugh loudly at it
If they do not laugh, it would not be the Tao

Therefore a proverb has the following:
The clear Tao appears unclear
The advancing Tao appears to retreat
The smooth Tao appears uneven
High virtue appears like a valley
Great integrity appears like disgrace
Encompassing virtue appears insufficient
Building virtue appears inactive
True substance appears inconstant
The great square has no corners
The great vessel is late in completion
The great music is imperceptible in sound
The great image has no form
The Tao is hidden and nameless
Yet it is only the Tao
That excels in giving and completing everything
