Daily Horoscope for Pisces Summary

* I remember parading the streets of Baltimore, bombed to the moon, singing Holy Diver with the sons of Mac at the top of our lungs. Life has its bright spots and that was certainly one of them. Rock on, Ronnie James Dio *

I've been writing scopes for quite a while now, years and years, but this chart might be the craziest that I've seen. Venus, Saturn, Uranus, Jupiter and Pluto in the Grand Cross formation, Sun hooking up with Saturn, Mercury hitting Pluto, Neptune and Chiron hitting Venus, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria. Major stuff. And that's where it gets tricky.

You see, I look at this chart and I keep waiting for some big event to come along, something that seems to match the intensity of the planetary alignment, but then I forget that the Universe almost always operates in manners that none of us expect (because what fun is predictability). So the magic here is probably going to come through subtlety (at least in our individual lives).

People are going to battle with their personal wants and desires here, as Venus seems to be in the most precarious position. But there's a larger sense of confusion, partially because of its connection with Neptune (which can fill us with pleasant dreamscapes) but also because of its position within the Grand Cross (which will hit us with a reality that fails to match our dreams, imagination and wishes). There's so many disconnects and dichotomies between mind and emotion, and thought and reality (realistically afflicting most areas of life) that it makes it extremely tough to rationalize where things are going. Awesome opportunities might seem jaded. The things we desire most might be leading us astray. It's hard to know what to pursue and what to avoid.

There's so much unpredictability in the chart that you can almost begin to expect it. Be ready for anything, and be ready to try anything. Right now, in the cosmic landscape, we're all lost in the tornado (like Dorothy on the way to Oz). Nothing is particularly rooted as such, so you don't have much to lose if something backfires. Keep a very present-minded mentality and see where things go. When the whirlwind lets up, it'll toss around in a way no one really planned anyways, and we can pick it up from there. It's no use trying to control anything in a state like this. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Pisces

While you might develop more refined wants over the next couple of days, they are still going to be pleasure driven, which can often cause you to throw rationality out the window. You almost need to show a preemptive level of responsibility. You need to reject any potentially troublesome situations before you get involved in them because once you're immersed, saying no becomes extremely difficult. You should have a heightened sense of creativity here as well, though it might be drawn from the more difficult situations you're going through.

...Show some Love...

Today's Astrology Quote of the Day:
We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born...
Astrology does not lay claim to anything more...

Daily Tao

Those of ancient times who were adept at the Tao
Used it not to make people brighter
But to keep them simple
The difficulty in governing people
Is due their excessive cleverness
Therefore, using cleverness to govern the state
Is being a thief of the state
Not using cleverness to govern the state
Is being a blessing of the state

Know that these two are both standards
Always knowing these standards
Is called Mystic Virtue
Mystic Virtue: Profound! Far-reaching!
It goes opposite to material things
Then it reaches great congruence
