Daily Horoscope for Leo Summary

As we head into the weekend, there's a Mars-Saturn aspect that will be gaining power (so the effects might be smaller Friday, but by the time Sunday rolls around, this energy will be in full force). Mars and Saturn can be a difficult bunch to handle, so you need to be on your toes this weekend. People are going to place a premium on doing the things they want to do, which can lead to them half-assing their way through their responsibilities. But Saturn isn't going to take that. If you do a crappy job once, you'll get stuck doing it over again, further delaying you from doing the things you really want to do.

In addition to this, because we'll be in such a rush, there can be tasks that we'll face here that are dependent on other people contributing before we can resume our duties. For instance, say you work at a store and you can't close the store and go home until Johnny finishes mopping the floor. You can bet this weekend that Johnny will never mop more slowly in his life. This can build a lot of frustration up as you're powerless to do anything but wait. It's important that you don't let this frustration carry over to other elements of life though. You need to separate it out, or else you'll stay irritated all weekend.

In and of itself, this is a tough transit, where people can neglect stuff they really must do (or they might overwork themselves to the point of physical exhaustion). But you combine it with the grander astrological landscape, where people are questioning the greater purpose of their actions, and it just seems like piling on. The best you can do is take care of business. Even if you aren't sure what the point is in going to work every day, or if you aren't sure whether the payoff is worth what you put in, there's still something worthwhile about doing a good job. Even if you put in a hellish day at work, if you did a good job, you can wipe your brow, relieved that you put forth a solid effort and that it's over until the next day. Don't lose the value in that. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Leo

This weekend it will be tough to get things moving anywhere. You might feel as though you are stuck in neutral; this can be made worse by stronger impulses to find instant gratification. If you're getting absolutely nowhere in one of your endeavors; step away for a short while to gather energy once again; you might burn out if you're too persistent yet repeatedly unsuccessful. One technique you can use to “trick” yourself into doing things you have to get done is by setting up a reward schedule. This way you consistently have something pleasurable to seek out, but you are also getting things done at a good rate.

...Show some Love...

Today's Astrology Quote of the Day:
Before one accepts spirituality, astrology is very powerful, like a lion...
Then when one enters into a deeper spiritual life, astrology becomes a tiny household cat...

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
