Daily Horoscope for Pisces Summary

As we head into the weekend, there's a Mars-Saturn aspect that will be gaining power (so the effects might be smaller Friday, but by the time Sunday rolls around, this energy will be in full force). Mars and Saturn can be a difficult bunch to handle, so you need to be on your toes this weekend. People are going to place a premium on doing the things they want to do, which can lead to them half-assing their way through their responsibilities. But Saturn isn't going to take that. If you do a crappy job once, you'll get stuck doing it over again, further delaying you from doing the things you really want to do.

In addition to this, because we'll be in such a rush, there can be tasks that we'll face here that are dependent on other people contributing before we can resume our duties. For instance, say you work at a store and you can't close the store and go home until Johnny finishes mopping the floor. You can bet this weekend that Johnny will never mop more slowly in his life. This can build a lot of frustration up as you're powerless to do anything but wait. It's important that you don't let this frustration carry over to other elements of life though. You need to separate it out, or else you'll stay irritated all weekend.

In and of itself, this is a tough transit, where people can neglect stuff they really must do (or they might overwork themselves to the point of physical exhaustion). But you combine it with the grander astrological landscape, where people are questioning the greater purpose of their actions, and it just seems like piling on. The best you can do is take care of business. Even if you aren't sure what the point is in going to work every day, or if you aren't sure whether the payoff is worth what you put in, there's still something worthwhile about doing a good job. Even if you put in a hellish day at work, if you did a good job, you can wipe your brow, relieved that you put forth a solid effort and that it's over until the next day. Don't lose the value in that. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Pisces

This weekend, you can do just about anything to gain attention. The problem with this is the more you pander to others, the further you drift away from just being yourself. This disconnect can develop where you have to essentially play two roles, the side of you that others, and the side of you that no one else gets to see. It's complicated and this can take a heavy toll on your mind. It's important that you feel comfortable with yourself in the company of others. If you feel you have to lie about who you are in order to maintain someone else's company, that person isn't worth the effort you're putting in.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

Ruling a large country is like cooking a small fish
Using the Tao to manage the world
Its demons have no power
Not only do its demons have no power
Its gods do not harm people

Not only do its gods not harm people
The sages also do not harm people
They both do no harm to one another
So virtue merges and returns
