Daily Horoscope for Scorpio Summary

Today's energy is all about power. So it's going to be a little weird that I start off with a story about Olive Garden. I like Olive Garden (which is probably sacrilege being of partial Sicilian descent, but the lasagna is tasty, so back off). Me and my buddy Jaret have been going there to eat for years. Jaret, like myself, is 30, went to college, went to Ranger School, studied to become a surveyor, became a surveyor, and now there's no surveying work, so he's now unemployed. Anyways, a couple of weeks back he gets a job at Olive Garden, where he's going to work as a waiter. I'm pumped, because hey, employee discount.

Tonight we go out to eat, and he tells me he got canned from Olive Garden after two weeks. I'm like why? He's a smart guy, has worked in restaurants before; it's a little shocking. Apparently, he mistakenly wiped out an order cause he hit the wrong button on their touch screen, but he was able to redo the credit card info, the Olive Garden gift card any everything but a two-dollar coupon. That's supposed to come out of his tips. A manager who works there told him to trade the coupon off to someone else for two bucks, and they can throw it on an order and he can get his two bucks; an unwritten rule they say. He tries to do this, but some other waitress he talked to complains to the general manager, who's obligated by the rules of their job to report it to Corporate. Corporate dubs this as “fraud”, and orders Jaret to be immediately terminated. Over a two-dollar coupon. At a job he's had for two weeks, where he's still learning the ropes. Power.

So since Olive Garden a. believes my buddy is masterminding some scheme to bankrupt them one two-dollar coupon at a time, or b. cares so little about discarding new employees over menial mess-ups, I figured I'll share this heaping pile of BS with the multitude of people who read our horoscopes. And this is the crux of today's energy; when you try to over-exert your influence, others are going to resist and push back, and it's going to make even small situations a mess. So look for balance and fairness in the things that you do and with the people you interact with, or else you too can get sucked into an abyss you don't really want to deal with. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Scorpio

You might talk a good game here, but much of what you have to say is intended to mask any actual stress or discomfort you might be under. As this energy can influence your health, you should be upfront about what you're currently feeling, as you might need some help to gain relief and peace of mind. At times you can also try to gain the upper hand on others by being critical, but realize that this causes people to also hold you to a higher standard.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

That which is well established cannot be uprooted
That which is strongly held cannot be taken
The descendants will commemorate it forever

Cultivate it in yourself; its virtue shall be true
Cultivate it in the family; its virtue shall be abundant
Cultivate it in the community; its virtue shall be lasting
Cultivate it in the country; its virtue shall be prosperous
Cultivate it in the world; its virtue shall be widespread

Therefore observe others with yourself
Observe other families with your family
Observe other communities with your community
Observe other countries with your country
Observe the world with the world
With what do I know the world?
With this
