Daily Horoscope for Leo Summary

Once, long ago, my old man told me the tale of "Catalog Shopping"; for me to paraphrase it probably won't do it justice, but he probably hasn't mentioned it himself here in a while so I'll share.

Once, long ago in the beforetime, when Pa Dowd was younger, he was hanging out in a diner by himself reading a chart (back when he only did astrology as a hobby). This guy comes up to him sits down across from him, inquiring about the chart and such. They get to talking and it turns out the guy is pretty successful, like he's CEO of department store or something else big time. The CEO guy says, "Why do you hate me for being successful?" to which Pa Dowd responded that he didn't, but the CEO guy could kind of tell there was some resentment there.

Afterwards, they had this discussion (the minute details of which escape me presently), but they got to the concept of "Catalog Shopping" (as Pa Dowd has so dubbed). The CEO pulls out this magazine and tells my dad to flip through it. "Pick out anything in there you want". So my dad flips through and sees this pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses. "These look cool," he says. CEO guy says, "Visualize them. See yourself with them." So my dad does this for a second, then CEO guy takes the magazine back.

"As you go about your days, have the vision of you want ready, but do nothing to acquire it. Work as hard as you can in what ever you do. Be excellent and the spirit will find a way to deliver that thing to you." So Pa Dowd leaves the guy and for the next two weeks, he busts ass at whatever job he was at back then. And somehow (in a manner I don't really remember), he ended up with Ray-Ban sunglasses essentially falling into his lap.

A little crazy, aye? The moral of the story is if you have belief, and you work hard, you do the things you're supposed to do, the Universe will provide for you. It might do so in quirky ways that you hadn't expected, but where's the fun in predictability? Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Leo

There might be certain areas of life where you are primed for growth, but for some reason, you just aren't allowing yourself to take the next step, be it fear, reasons, excuses or whatever. This energy can show you that the next step of progress should be something to be embraced, not feared. While it won't unshackle you (this is something you'll have to do on your own), it can calm things down to a point where you can make some moves without the pressure and worry of what's going to come next. You should go with what the energy is telling you to do.

...Show some Love...

Today's Astrology Quote of the Day:
Failure or success seem to have been allotted to men by their stars...
But they retain the power of wriggling, of fighting with their star or against it, and in the whole universe the only really interesting movement is this wriggle...
~ E.M. Forster

Daily Tao

The Tao is constant in non-action
Yet there is nothing it does not do

If the sovereign can hold on to this
All things shall transform themselves
Transformed, yet wishing to achieve
I shall restrain them with the simplicity of the nameless
The simplicity of the nameless
They shall be without desire
Without desire, using stillness
The world shall steady itself
