Daily Horoscope for Leo Summary

Routines are one of the primary forces in life. We learn them at a young age. When we were in school, you show up at roughly the same time every day and you leave at the same time. You take the same classes at the same times each day. You get home and your parents make you do your homework in a similar fashion; maybe right after school, maybe after dinner. You go to college and for good stretches of time you do the same thing; class at the same times over the course of the semester. Then you graduate and you get a job that probably starts at 9 in the morning and you work it until 5 and then you go home. Routine.

However, think of all of the stories you tell others. The things that are humorous, the things that are exciting, or even depressing. The overwhelming majority of these are things that break from your routine. The time I was working at the doctor's office and one of the sales reps came in and told me he crapped himself on the commute in? Not routine. At least I hope it wasn't routine.

The point I'm trying to make is that when you digress from the norm, things get more exciting. There's more stories to tell, life becomes more interesting, and when life becomes more interesting, we tend to enjoy it more. Even the bad occurrences give us something to bitch about to others, which in itself tends to be enjoyable. Today's energy gives us the impulse to look for something different out there. It allows us to slam on the breaks and say, “Look, what I've been doing lately is kind of boring, and it sucks, so I'm not going to do it as much as I used to.” Some people might make the decision that their job isn't fulfilling enough for them anymore, or the regular ways they spend their time needs to be altered, or they don't see enough of certain people, or they see too much of other people. All of it factors in. So the potential for change here is pretty strong. Look to shake things up, particularly if you've fallen into a rut of SSDD. We thrive on novelty, so make sure there's enough in your life. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Leo

Everything you do needs to be fun in some way shape or form. This energy lends itself to making a game out of things that really wouldn't seem to warrant it (like taking out the garbage). Even if no one else is around, you can make things a competition with yourself, and in turn, this can make them more enjoyable. Yes, it's pretty much tricking your mind into gutting out mundane tasks, but if you can get through them with a more positive mindset, it's well worth it.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

The Tao masters of antiquity
Subtle wonders through mystery
Depths that cannot be discerned
Because one cannot discern them
Therefore one is forced to describe the appearance

Hesitant, like crossing a wintry river
Cautious, like fearing four neighbors
Solemn, like a guest
Loose, like ice about to melt
Genuine, like plain wood
Open, like a valley
Opaque, like muddy water

Who can be muddled yet desist
In stillness gradually become clear?
Who can be serene yet persist
In motion gradually come alive?

One who holds this Tao does not wish to be overfilled
Because one is not overfilled
Therefore one can preserve and not create anew
