Daily Horoscope for Leo Summary

NBC came out with a recent reincarnation of American Gladiators over the past weekend, something that I and my friends had been completely stoked about. As a kid growing up in the late eighties-early nineties, American Gladiators was essential viewing every time it came on. After we had finished watching the show, my brothers, any available friends and me would replicate the events we just saw in my living room; playing joust with pillows, using our Nerf weapons to play Assault, pulling empty trash cans into the middle of the room to play Powerball. Sure mom was a little angry every time something got broke or if there was too much noise due to us thundering around the house pretending to be Nitro or Turbo.

Fast forward to this weekend, and the giddiness flowing through the room was palpable. We were counting down the time until it came on through out the day; for as big of football fans as we are, the playoff games were second fiddle on Sunday. It was all about Gladiators.

So what happened? We started watching and almost immediately we could tell the show was going to be over-produced. The cameras cut too frequently making it tough to follow the action in the events. Certain rule changes made no sense. They continually interviewed the contenders throughout the show even though the contenders said essentially the same things every time (meanwhile, cutting those interviews might’ve allowed an extra event to be played). And portions of the show seemed too contrived. While you never could’ve really called American Gladiators a “sport” it used to be a pure competition and I have to think after watching the show on Sunday that through the presentation they are drowning a lot of the competitive aspects of the events, trying to make it more of a “show”.

Anyways, what’s this got to do with the chart, Bud? People are going to be thinking in a highly innovative kind of manner this week, trying to make existing structures in their lives better. But as you’ll see, when people try to enforce these changes, they can either be overdone or in the process of making these changes, people lose the original point of making them in the first place. Back to Gladiators, maybe NBC makes a ton of money off the show (despite its new flaws, it is still quite watchable), but if they would’ve kept it simple and not changed too much from before, no doubt it would’ve turned out better. So in your own personal lives, don’t go out there attempting to reinvent the wheel, or you might find that your car doesn’t quite roll as effectively as before. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Leo

This is a transit that might have you modifying the way you do a lot of things regarding your financials. You might throw some money behind some kind of cause you believe in and if it makes you feel good inside, go right on ahead. But you shouldn’t expect any kind of return on these investments right now because they aren’t going to pay off for you. Maybe at some point down the line they will, but by that time, you’ll have long forgotten your initial investments. You should be especially wary of any groups looking for donations here; the varying personalities of those in control can tie your money up meaning it won’t be spent in a worthwhile manner for a good period of time or be wasted altogether.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

The highest goodness resembles water
Water greatly benefits myriad things without contention
It stays in places that people dislike
Therefore it is similar to the Tao

Dwelling with the right location
Feeling with great depth
Giving with great kindness
Speaking with great integrity
Governing with great administration
Handling with great capability
Moving with great timing

Because it does not contend
It is therefore beyond reproach
