Daily Horoscope for Pisces Summary

On the way home today, I had a discussion with my buddy Markquis on the effect of relativity in competition and its effects on a person's development. People need to be pushed, challenged to dig deep in order to reach higher levels. If you practice doing something, say for instance, lifting 140 lbs., over and over again, you might get really good at lifting 140 lbs. but you won't be in any shape to lift 300 lbs. At some point you need to challenge yourself in more difficult scenarios in order to get better.

The same works with people. If you're 6 foot 3 and you play basketball against little kids all the time, you're not developing your skills. You need to play against people who will actually defend you and force you to adapt in order to find success, and then subsequently growth.

Those are physical examples but the same goes for the mental side of things as well. If you learn the same subject material over and over again, you can become quite adept with it, but unless you try to learn more advanced material or more advanced techniques, your learning will stagnate.

This brings us to the chart energy for the weekend. At first glance, this energy would seem “tough”. Chiron's involved which usually requires us to get knocked down before we get back up again. It represents the challenges we're likely to face right now. It's hooking up with Neptune (which makes this a largely mental transit), which will strengthen our ability to arise from our shortcomings and make the adaptations necessary to progress. Both are connecting to the Sun in a manner that will take a lot of the “initiation” issues out of our hands; the Universe is going to put us into these situations rather than us having to find a way to cause them ourselves.

You put it altogether and we're likely to get thrown into some “rough” spots, that might be briefly uncomfortable, but are designed to get us past certain hurdles we've been letting hold us back. Sometimes the universe has to pinch us to make its points, but a pinch is usually sharp, brief and before long, we've forgotten the sting. When all is said and done, if you can manage to face some of your flaws or mental hang-ups, this energy will lift you up. But if you try to evade such things, they'll linger and you won't move past them. Dig deep and show some adaptability. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Pisces

Unless you feel your freedoms are being restricted, some of this energy can go to waste. You're going to be far more effective when you have something to prove to others here than when everything seems to be going alright. The second someone tells you that you can't do something though, watch out! You can respond explosively and with a vengeance. While it might be rough for the person who catches your wrath in those situations, it'll send you into a zone where you can accomplish things far beyond you usual capabilities.

...Show some Love...

Today's Astrology Quote of the Day:

---

Daily Tao

Fame or the self, which is dearer?
The self or wealth, which is greater?
Gain or loss, which is more painful?

Thus excessive love must lead to great spending
Excessive hoarding must lead to heavy loss

Knowing contentment avoids disgrace
Knowing when to stop avoids danger
Thus one can endure indefinitely
