Daily Horoscope for Leo Summary

A eulogy for the garage:

For many people, in their youth (and often beyond that), there are familiar haunts, the old stomping grounds where you regularly meet up and hang out. You might venture to other areas, but there's usually one or two set hang out spots where you go most often, where you feel most comfortable. For the guys in my circle, the spot of our late teens and early twenties was the garage. It was big, could seat 15 guys comfortably (though admittedly there were many nights where guys had to stand up because there weren't 15 chairs) and it was shelter from the wind on many a winter nights. The other guys' moms or dads would drop them off on Friday afternoon and come to pick them up on Sunday night. During the days we'd go off on our regular adventures or play sports of some sorts, and then at night we'd get drunk in the garage.

It was usually rather cold in there during the winter, and most of the time the lights didn't work so we'd have to light a bunch of candles for light, but it served its function of being the chief hang-out spot for a long time.

Predominantly, the only thing really to do inside was talk (or as we liked to call it "philosophizing"). We'd talk about all sorts of topics, many of importance, some revolving around politics or political theory, others around our wishes out of life, some about girls we knew, and others that are best not to mention here. I suppose when you're young, life is so full of possibilities and you give anything a shot.

Anyways, that's what I'll take away most from the time in the garage, is getting to really know your friends and the discussions about hopes, wishes, possibilities and potential. It's probably been around 10 years since the last time any of us hung out inside, but it still was the primary location upon which all of our tightest friendships were formed. I'll miss that aspect, but hey, now the yard'll probably be bigger.

Anyways, today's astrological tie-in is this. The Sun, Mars and Neptune are all hanging out in Aquarius and this is going to put an increased emphasis on exploring the same types of hopes, aspirations, wants and possibilities that we used to talk about back in the day. The Sun and Neptune will conspire to think up cockamamie ideas and Mars, much like the "liquid courage" (booze) we used to consume, will push us to take action on the ideas we come up with.

So in all, it's a day of dreaming, but it's also a day putting those dreams into action. In most cases, this will work out to be beneficial, but you do want to watch out for "the guy who takes things too far", because that potential is definitely out there today too. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Leo

Synchronization with others in terms of ideas becomes more important because this is a more critical time for how your relationships will develop in the future. You have the potential to form tight bonds with others (when you're on the same wavelength), but an equivalent chance of developing new rivalries (when you're on opposing wavelengths). You're also going to tend to idealize your own flaws and those of others, because they provide character. This will make you more tolerant of others, but where you might be on good terms with someone, a third party might still have their complaints about that person, something you might be subject to hearing.

...Show some Love...

Today's Astrology Quote of the Day:
Astrology is assured recognition from psychology without further restrictions, because astrology represents the summation of all the knowledge of antiquity...
The fact that it is possible to construct, in adequate fashion, a person’s character from the data of his nativity, shows the validity of astrology...

Daily Tao

End sagacity; abandon knowledge
The people benefit a hundred times

End benevolence; abandon righteousness
The people return to piety and charity

End cunning; discard profit
Bandits and thieves no longer exist

These three things are superficial and insufficient
Thus this teaching has its place:
Show plainness; hold simplicity
Reduce selfishness; decrease desires
