Daily Horoscope for Libra Summary

The theme of today's energy is change. Strong change, the kind you can't get out of the way of. Look at the areas of your life where you've been stagnant, and you'll see things get shaken up pretty fierce. A transit like this is the type where "if you aren't going to do it yourself, the energy is going to change everything around for you".

Is this a good thing? It depends on your perspective. You'll have people who embrace what's developing around them and seek to push it further. Then you'll have the people resisting with everything they have and trying to fight to hold on to the way things were. It all comes down to how and where you see opportunity unfolding.

Some elements of today's chart can be downright scary, on a multitude of levels. It necessitates relinquishing some control of things going on around you, and many people will struggle with that. The people who are happy to sit back and deal with the fallout are the ones who will be most ready to jump on anything that opens up. The flipside is that even the positive developments here can be scary. Think of it like this: imagine you've been looking for something for a very long time. Now imagine it's right there in front of you, but you've built it up so high, and now you're like "What the hell do I do now?" Some people might land a romantic interest they find way out of their league here. Others could get a promotion for a job that they have little experience doing. Just remember, whenever Pluto's active in the chart, it gives you excuses and ways to bail. It makes you firmly commit to what you want. That choice is up to you, but today can certainly be full of adventure and a lot of new beginnings if you're up for it. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Libra

The emotional side of this energy can be a bit much at times, but you have to look outside of the moment to take in the big picture when it does. This goes for both positive and negative emotions - when things are up, you might get more careless than you normally would and experience some setbacks. Overall, this is a tough position because it's an unstable transit where you're looking to create added stability, but also know that even when things are shaky, others might look to you to keep them grounded, which should help you stay grounded yourself.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

Those that attained oneness since ancient times:
The sky attained oneness and thus clarity
The earth attained oneness and thus tranquility
The gods attained oneness and thus divinity
The valley attained oneness and thus abundance
The myriad things attained oneness and thus life
The rulers attained oneness and became the standard for the world
These all emerged from oneness

The sky, lacking clarity, would break apart
The earth, lacking tranquility, would erupt
The gods, lacking divinity, would vanish
The valley, lacking abundance, would wither
Myriad things, lacking life, would be extinct
The rulers, lacking standard, would be toppled

Therefore, the honored uses the lowly as basis
The higher uses the lower as foundation
Thus the rulers call themselves alone, bereft, and unworthy
Is this not using the lowly as basis? Is it not so?
Therefore, the ultimate honor is no honor

Do not wish to be shiny like jade
Be dull like rocks
