Daily Horoscope for Libra Summary

Relativity means a lot in the world given how we perceive things day-to-day. It's hard for people to judge things in isolation; they're always compared to given "states" that exist around us when we notice things. "Good" often means "better than it was" in this sense, and that applies to our current energy. There are some difficult aspects up there right now, but it's better than what we've had to deal with over the last couple weeks. So in this sense, the energy is "good". However, be prepared for more challenges ahead.

In particular, the energy today can make it harder to get mentally aligned with the things that are on the docket to get done. We can have strong opinions about things we're currently working on (or people we're currently working with), but those thoughts and feelings aren't going to get us any closer to the goal of solving problems. While you might have some valid viewpoints and principles, this can be a time where you have to let certain things go in order to make some issues go away. Look for the greater good in this sense - making a concession in order to remove a bigger problem is often going to be the way to go.

Ultimately, this energy can force us to accept that we can't always have everything our way and the sooner we come to that conclusion, the better off things will be. That doesn't mean fully capitulate to what's happening around you - you don't want others taking advantage of you. But you will have to think a bit harder about when standards have been set too high. You might be pushing for things that aren't really doable (and even if they are, they can be horribly unlikely and not worth the effort). In that sense, there are times to fight the good fight, and this isn't really one of them. The longer you become embroiled in a situation, the less you'll likely get for your time and effort. The best bet is to take what you can and move on to the next endeavor, which might be more fruitful. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Libra

Staying motivated will be a challenge, especially if you adopt a defeatist attitude towards the things you do. That might be the easiest thing to default to, but getting past the reasons and excuses and doing the things you need to can still lead you to some level of success. There can be some elements of depression and regret here as well, but you should use those sorts of thoughts as an indicator that you should be trying to move on from how certain things turned out in the past. Avoid reflecting here and focus on the present.

Today's Astrology Quote of the Day:

Daily Tao

Yield and remain whole
Bend and remain straight
Be low and become filled
Be worn out and become renewed
Have little and receive
Have much and be confused
Therefore the sages hold to the one as an example for the world
Without flaunting themselves – and so are seen clearly
Without presuming themselves – and so are distinguished
Without praising themselves – and so have merit
Without boasting about themselves – and so are lasting

Because they do not contend, the world cannot contend with them
What the ancients called "the one who yields and remains whole"
Were they speaking empty words?
Sincerity becoming whole, and returning to oneself
