Daily Horoscope for Leo Summary

Back in the day, we used to have these things called “Chinese Finger Traps”. You put your two index fingers in and the harder you tried to pull them out, the more the trap held onto them preventing your escape. Sometimes brutishly trying to force you way through a situation isn't enough. You have to give in, become a little crafty, because ultimately life's problems really need solutions, not methods. If something works, who cares how you got it done.

That brings us to the weekend's energy. We've still got the whole Sun-Mercury fighting with Jupiter-Neptune-Chiron, with Uranus getting involved too. And Saturn and Pluto's connection isn't going anywhere soon too. Many of us will reach breaking points. Many of us can fight to stay the same, or we can consent to rise up and change; to become, maybe the person we were always supposed to be if not for “shortcuts” that have led us astray. Those that take care of business will do better than those looking for a dodge. Because this energy hits hard, you need to do your absolute best pretty much all the time in order to avoid the downside of things. Keep fighting.

Come Sunday, we're also starting a new Mercury cycle – by the time this comes, it will disconnect from Jupiter's posse which should be a boost to our communications. Information passed along will be more reliable. The potential for bad news will drop. But with every new cycle change, there are shifts in the way things will go down. When people discuss things with you here, they're going to want to talk about things that down really matter much in the grand scheme of things. People can posture and try to look good, but many of our connections (especially ones formed here) will be surface connections. You'll recognize someone's face and maybe three key tidbits about them, and this is enough for periodic discussions when you run into each other, but having real, deep conversations will be much fewer and far between.

Enjoy the social boost and get out and mingle. Express yourself. People will open up a ton. There's certainly a lot to be learned. When you get done with a tough day, it's nice to unwind with others so take advantage of that. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Leo

If others are wise, they'll avoid telling you any huge secrets this weekend. The opportunist in you will show through, especially if it helps you out someone doing something wrong. But while you might feel a strong drive to shine in front of others (and boost your reputation), some of the desire will fade as the weekend moves along. You're going to have to work harder to maintain your focus and you can struggle with a tendency to fantasize about things too much. But overall, you should have a creative surge and you'll start working better with groups as opposed to trying to use others to your advantage.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

Those that attained oneness since ancient times:
The sky attained oneness and thus clarity
The earth attained oneness and thus tranquility
The gods attained oneness and thus divinity
The valley attained oneness and thus abundance
The myriad things attained oneness and thus life
The rulers attained oneness and became the standard for the world
These all emerged from oneness

The sky, lacking clarity, would break apart
The earth, lacking tranquility, would erupt
The gods, lacking divinity, would vanish
The valley, lacking abundance, would wither
Myriad things, lacking life, would be extinct
The rulers, lacking standard, would be toppled

Therefore, the honored uses the lowly as basis
The higher uses the lower as foundation
Thus the rulers call themselves alone, bereft, and unworthy
Is this not using the lowly as basis? Is it not so?
Therefore, the ultimate honor is no honor

Do not wish to be shiny like jade
Be dull like rocks
