Daily Horoscope for Leo Summary

Imagine five guys are hanging out in a room and they're all hungry. None of them have eaten a thing all day, and between the five of them, they can afford one pizza. Mark and Sean want pepperoni and mushrooms. Jim and Ulysses hate mushrooms and pepperoni, and they want olives and sausage. Pete wants none of that stuff, he just wants cheese. No one else seems to care what Pete wants. So they fight over it for about an hour, and unless one of them steps up and takes command, no one is going to eat; they're just going to continue to fight with each other.

This is the nature of this energy. Too many planets battling for control of the situation, disregarding the wants of the others, and things can get testy because none of them is willing to make concessions. Mars joins up with Saturn, which means everyone is going to have things to do "that absolutely must be done". If someone else comes along to delay the process, this will be completely and utterly infuriating. Jupiter and Uranus (both retro) are set up across the chart and they're both saying, "What's best for me?" They don't care about personal responsibility, they're about trying to make things easier, in the most individually beneficial way possible. And stuck between the two is Pluto, which is trying to be get from point A (hunger) to point B (fed). None of the other planets are helping advance this cause though, which means it's liable to snap at any point, which can create instances in our lives where people say, "If I'm not going to find happiness, then no one around me is." It's pretty volatile out there.

Again, with so many planets this active, it can hit in a variety of different areas of life. Some people will be prone to strong emotional flares (particularly now that Mars is involved). There can also be this growing feeling that one bad thing can quickly lead to another. It's trouble physically and mentally.

All that said, this isn't insurmountable energy. There has been rougher connections in the past months that we've had to make it through. This energy is just more of the same. The keys for the day are keeping your emotions under control and finding productive outlets for your energy. In many situations, you'll have to suppress your wants in order to work for your needs. If you keep a positive attitude and manage to find things to do, you can make it through all right. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Leo

There are some things that must be said, but your tendency is to blurt them out rather than "breaking the news softly". The words you use can have all the meaning that needs to be conveyed but you have to remember you are still saying them to people (who have feelings and emotions). If you come across as short-sighted, others are less likely to respect what you have to say, or they might formulate an opinion that you aren't as smart as you are. It's up to you to counter this. Try to see things from others' points of view, because this simple task will often improve the effectiveness of your speech.

...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
