Daily Horoscope for Gemini Summary

This week's energy brings us into “Shoot yourself in the foot” territory. Goals might be well-defined, but what good is that if the actions you take continuously oppose what you want in the long run. It's wanting to lose weight and eating two hamburgers at the cookout (guilty). So goals have to become something more than a mental idealization; you have to take steps to make them a reality. This can be even harder right now though because it's going to be easier to get down on yourself, which eventually leads to more counterproductive behavior.

So ask yourself how important things might be. It's easy to fall prey to the allure of certain goals, and sure, dreaming about the way things may be can be a pleasure-filled experience. It's also not real. Most people in positions of success don't wake up one day in an awesome spot; they had to do something of note to get there. But to say you have to work hard to get where you want to be underscores the nature of the transit. More often than not, people here will fail not because they didn't work hard, but because they didn't decide to work hard (and by work hard, I also mean this to encompass other activities that might not entail work, but making the more difficult decision). You don't necessarily have to walk through fire and brimstone to come out ahead right now, but you do have to avoid doing the stupid crap that you don't think about that compounds to make a situation more difficult. Things like procrastination, poor eating habits, failing to properly express your feelings to others, these are all activities that become more prevalent now, and they're really simple to avoid, as long as you make that mental commitment to do them. So be tougher mentally, and don't fall prey to the simple temptations that loom out there for you. And if you want something bad enough, commit to chasing it down, because dreaming isn't going to get you there; only putting yourself out there will. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Gemini

If you're going to be critical of others, it's probably going to be behind their backs. The criticism isn't going to be what's the problem, it's the fact that you are probably withholding information from others that would serve to make them better at what they do. Don't be so concerned with feelings (though you don't have to be belittling) and instead focus on what the ultimate benefit of sharing your qualms with others may be.

...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
