Daily Horoscope for Leo Summary

The craziness ensues today as we begin another segment of Mercury retrograde ("Oh joy!"), which is going to last up until the 29th. In the holiday spirit, this has the potential to inspire a litany of terrible presents, crappy sweaters, stuff that doesn't fit so well; the Grinch's heart would shrink 4 sizes. "So Bud, how can I avoid doling out mega-cash for stuff that might cause my family to wonder if there's poison in the Christmas Cookies?" You have to think in terms of functionality right now (at least until the 18th, when Mercury backs into Sag). What do they need? What is going to help them do their daily tasks better? These are the types of things you'll have more insight into buying for right now. But slow down and think it out first. Window shopping is bad news with Mercury retro, but researched shopping is better. Anything glitzy and showy that you might buy (hoping to make an impression of some sort) today and this week is probably going to flop when it comes down to it. If you want to get that kind of stuff, wait until the 18th. It's the functional stuff (computers, work chairs, phones) that you'll want to tackle now, and again, make sure you do your research on the stuff to make sure it's quality.

In non-holiday shopping areas, the next few days are mega-potent as Mercury, Mars, Pluto and the Node are all together in the big sky. It's madness, but it's also madness that aims to get things done. Some of you are going to feel compelled to jump ship from what you're currently doing, perhaps with this idea that you can do a lot better somewhere else. While this is very true, and transformations can be highly favored at this time (in addition to the fact that you'll be compelled to use all of your energy to make transitions smoother), you shouldn't do it without some kind of plan in place first. If a better opportunity comes along, strongly consider it, but if you're just hoping for something and not finding it, either look harder or stick with what you have. You don't want to position yourself in a spot with no current available options. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Leo

There can be a lot of indecision about what you are supposed to do. This is a tougher transit for you to deal with because you can generally make a decision and roll with it, but here, the consequences looming will be enough to give you pause about what might happen. Some of you might try to choose routes that help you avoid as much work as possible, but any road leading to success under this energy will require a bunch of work. Instead, you should be looking for the options that allow you to do the most productive, impacting work possible. The energy is set up for you to accomplish more than the others around you, so take advantage of this.

...Show some Love...

Today's Astrology Quote of the Day:
The starry vault of heaven is in truth the open book of cosmic projection.....

Daily Tao

The Tao, eternally nameless
Its simplicity, although imperceptible
Cannot be treated by the world as subservient

If the sovereign can hold on to it
All will follow by themselves
Heaven and Earth, together in harmony
Will rain sweet dew
People will not need to force it; it will adjust by itself

In the beginning, there were names
Names came to exist everywhere
One should know when to stop
Knowing when to stop, thus avoiding danger

The existence of the Tao in the world
Is like streams in the valley into rivers and the ocean
