Daily Horoscope for Libra Summary

The current chart is quite active, starting with Mercury retro (while opposing Neptune). This is going to distort a lot of the information you take in, as well as the assumptions you make. People are not going to be on the same page. You can go along and do something, and when you're counting on someone else, they might fall through. You can go back to them and say "You said you'd do this" and they'll reply "I never said that". Our levels of perception can suffer here as well, and we'll tend to interpret things in an odd manner. This includes a tendency to overestimate things that aren't important, while ignoring things that are.

We also have a Pluto-Venus-Jupiter T-square going on, which is going to make things in the career world a bit crazy. The things we want will tend to go against the best possible evolution for us. We can bypass growth in order to avoid short-term discomfort. Anything chaotic can also lead to problems in our personal relationships because people aren't going to know how to figure things out rationally. If you can separate yourself from situations and look at them from an unbiased viewpoint, you'll tend to see the lunacy in everything, but doing so is difficult, and while you're immersed, you have a tendency to look at things in a very close-minded way.

All of that can be kind of brutal, but we also have the Sun connecting with Saturn, which takes an edge off of everything. People will at least realize a need to work through things. People will also see the benefits of putting in a lot of effort, and for most, there will be some form of acknowledgement of things you can control versus things you can't. What you have the power to control, you'll want to handle with all of your energy. The things out of your hands, you aren't really going to gain anything by worrying so much about them.

Overall, the energy is asking us to look at things from multiple viewpoints, to take responsibility for the things on our plates, and to release everything else to go as it may. It's not an easy transit, but most of the difficult portions take place in the mind. If things get stressful, take a step back and make sure you aren't the one making them that way by the way you're interpreting them. There will be a lot of clouds with silver linings, but they're not that hard to find if you're looking for them. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Libra

Working together with others is going to be your strongest asset today, so if you run into any jams, look for others around who might be able to help. When there is a lot that seems to be in disarray, you're the person to come along and clean everything up. You might have your own internal squabbles about why you're such person, but it's probably best to keep these to yourself. If you get a little too ornery or gossipy, word will tend to get around. Let your actions speak for you, as they'll carry the loudest message.

...Show some Love...

Today's Astrology Quote of the Day:
Failure or success seem to have been allotted to men by their stars...
But they retain the power of wriggling, of fighting with their star or against it, and in the whole universe the only really interesting movement is this wriggle...
~ E.M. Forster

Daily Tao

There is something formlessly created
Born before Heaven and Earth
So silent! So ethereal!
Independent and changeless
Circulating and ceaseless
It can be regarded as the mother of the world

I do not know its name
Identifying it, I call it "Tao"
Forced to describe it, I call it great
Great means passing
Passing means receding
Receding means returning
Therefore the Tao is great
Heaven is great
Earth is great
The sovereign is also great
There are four greats in the universe
And the sovereign occupies one of them
Humans follow the laws of Earth
Earth follows the laws of Heaven
Heaven follows the laws of Tao
Tao follows the laws of nature
