Daily Horoscope for Leo Summary

More and more, you’re going to start to see some real head-scratchers in your day to day encounters. What are others thinking? What am I thinking? The basis for logic and reason is going to deteriorate for a good week or so, so you better be ready to take an extra-long look at what you’re considering.

It starts from within, as the urge for our desires is going to grow in intensity. Not only that, but the wishes we have will seem to spend a lot of time occupying our active thought processes. It’s a time where you can dream deeper, but you can also have difficulty emerging from dreams because they seem so much better than the reality of situations. In many ways though, it’s like the Siren calling the ships towards the rocks. Some of the things you can chase down here seem like they are exactly what you want, but the reality isn’t that close. Don’t allow your perceptions to cloud the truth; be honest with yourself.

At the same time, you can try to bend existing facts to meet a logical framework in your mind. The only problem is that this only occurs in your mind. In the theoretical, it’s like having an obsession with Brad Pitt, and telling yourself he’d absolutely fall in love with you if he ever met you, and then you actually meeting him, followed by an encounter where you think he loves you, and him wondering why you’re acting all weird because he’s never met you before.

In a nutshell, you can give people characteristics or behaviors in your mind (as you think about them) that you will start to think are real, even though the actual person has never done or said such things in their life. This makes for some awkward encounters. So no assumptions, and don’t guess what people are about until you know for sure. If you don’t know, try to get to know people better, but that’s all you can really do. I often say about celebrities “We don’t know these people!” but the same can be said of some people you’ll encounter today, people you might see frequently but have never had a meaningful conversation with. Stay within reality and you’ll be fine. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Leo

There’s going to be a strong need for acceptance from others, as though it validates who you are. As this goes on, you might even purposefully misinterpret criticisms from others as things they are intending to praise. If you’re wise, you’ll cut all that out and focus on areas where others are ripping you (and they can do so in blunt fashion). The more you try to sugarcoat things, the more you end up evading the reality of situations, preventing you from ever dealing with them.

Daily Tao

The Tao is empty
When utilized, it is not filled up
So deep! It seems to be the source of all things

It blunts the sharpness
Unravels the knots
Dims the glare
Mixes the dusts

So indistinct! It seems to exist
I do not know whose offspring it is
Its image is the predecessor of the Emperor
