Daily Horoscope for Scorpio Summary

The Sun is still opposing Pluto today, but that energy is starting to fade a good bit at this point. Many of last week's frustrations will start to subside and we can carry on with a new perspective on things. In some ways, it's kind of like cleaning up a big mess - we don't really want to do it, but it still needs to get done.

Also going on in the big sky today, we have Mars opposing the Node. The things we think we want now probably aren't going to be the things we ultimately thought we were seeking. This energy makes it a bit easier to fall off a chosen path due to impulse, impatience or overall agitation. It requires a bit of grit and determination to get through, to stick to your goals and keep pressing onward even when things seem like they might get tough. A lot of people here can look for the easy way out and abandon ship, but will then complain later when they didn't get what they were looking for.

Those kinds of things are rougher, but we also have a Saturn-Uranus-Venus Grand Trine to balance things out, though that's also starting to fade out a bit. This is about positive changes and making sure we're doing what's necessary to maintain a level of self-sufficiency. Retro-Saturn puts the onus on us as individuals to make sure we're getting the things we need. A lot of our struggles in life are indeed self-made, and coming to an acceptance of that empowers us to know we can make the changes we need to in order to move forward. This side of the energy generally isn't going to be glamorous, but it's about making smart decisions, maybe being a touch more frugal (and coming to appreciate that), and sticking to principles that guide our actions.

Overall, it's a pretty good chart, even if there might be some stress along the way. Stress isn't usually a thing people want to have around, but here at least it can provide some opportunities to build character.

Anyways, to end on the theme of cleaning up messes, a buddy of mine is running a petition to enforce clean-ups of illegal dumping in Venice Beach, which is apparently something of a big issue. I'm gonna post a link below - feel free to sign it if you feel so inclined.

The Daily Horoscope for Scorpio

Getting things in order is a big part of this energy, and it might take a little bit of effort, but once you've established where things need to be, you can develop strong systems to keep them in place. This structure will also help you in dealing with others and planning out things for the future. You're going to have some creative ideas, but once you know how things can slot together, it makes putting plans in place a lot easier. What helps in this regard is that you don't need to follow established methods for doing so. You can invent new approaches on the fly, especially when it comes to motivating the people around you.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

Those who are on tiptoes cannot stand
Those who straddle cannot walk
Those who flaunt themselves are not clear
Those who presume themselves are not distinguished
Those who praise themselves have no merit
Those who boast about themselves do not last

Those with the Tao call such things leftover food or tumors
They despise them
Thus, those who possesses the Tao do not engage in them
