Daily Horoscope for Pisces Summary

It’s funny when you consider the power of motivation. I, by nature am not much of a self-motivated person. I need something to push me to do things, be it a deadline or sense of urgency, the need to take care of responsibilities. A lot of people are like this. Others are motivated by the next piece of the puzzle; they are involved in an ongoing process and they have to see what comes next. Some people are driven by the fear of being idle; they always have to have something to do or else it drives them mad. Some like to see themselves achieving success; others revel in defeating others or challenges in some type of competition. What drives you is often one of the most important components to your entire being. If X drives you, and X is not around, it’s hard to replace it and therefore it’s hard to push yourself onward.

Fortunately, we’re hitting a cycle where we don’t have to manufacture X; it should be floating around everywhere, reminding us that to remain stagnant is in itself a form of loss. As you go about your business, keep this in mind. What are you doing to improve?

I’ll end with a tale from the golf course. Yesterday, I’m randomly playing with a guy who knew my uncle from the neighborhood, Joe. Joe’s been playing for a year, but he’s not terrible (most of the people that play at the local course range between awful and God awful). He holds his own. I start the round playing about as bad as I can, but as I shake the rust off, I get a little better. Joe keeps reaffirming to me, “Improvement. Got to keep making improvement.” That’s when I saw my golf game as a microcosm for what a lot of people are doing out there. So often, people do the same things over and over again, assuming that the mere act of doing them repeatedly will make them better. This is not the case. You have to look for ways to make things better and enact those changes. Merely repeating your subpar efforts over and over again will make you really good at being subpar. So look for the ways to make improvement and know that you’re going to have something pushing you to get over the hump in close proximity. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Pisces

If I were you, I’d pick up some extra overtime. This energy just expands the flow of funds and resources in and out of your possessions. There can actually be some pretty major purchases/earnings that go through today. But given that Mercury’s retro (so you won’t be as adept at realizing the true value of things), you’re better off trying to focus on the income portion of the equation as opposed to trying to buy a new hot tub or something else of the like.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

The people's hunger
Is due to the excess of their ruler's taxation
So they starve
The people's difficulty in being governed
Is due to the meddling of their ruler
So they are difficult to govern
The people's disregard for death
Is due to the glut in their ruler's pursuit of life
So they disregard death
Therefore those who do not strive for living
Are better than those who value living
