Daily Horoscope for Scorpio Summary

There can be plenty of reasons and excuses to mail it in right now, to the extent where we can at times even talk ourselves into it being the best option. A lot of that will be based solely on illusions or faulty perception though - if you dig down into the actual causes behind problems, you'll see there's something that can be done to make them better (even if just by a minor amount). The energy can actually tend to help us out the most here when we do try to take those steps forward, rather than just hanging back and accepting what's currently in front of us.

All the while, it will be equally important that you aren't getting your hopes up too much here. It's not that having any hope is a bad thing, but you can tend to build things up to an unreasonable point, leading to an inevitable let down. It's best if you avoid doing this. With a more realistic outlook, it will be easier to appreciate when things do end up being a plus rather than a minus. There's a lot of potential in the chart right now, but the key is making sure you are wise enough to see the real value in things, rather than what you want them to be (but aren't). Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Scorpio

Your vision for the future can be sharp and hyper-focused, perhaps so much so that you can't really entertain any alternate ways of things getting done. Anything that jeopardizes this vision can evoke an aggressive response from you, but you need to be careful you aren't snapping on people just for seeing things a different way. You might alienate potential allies if you overprotective in this sense (especially considering that you might not know where all of the cards in a situation will fall yet). While you might not want to be open-minded, doing so grants others some room to be of assistance, which can be massive in covering you should things turn out differently than you were expecting.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

Those that attained oneness since ancient times:
The sky attained oneness and thus clarity
The earth attained oneness and thus tranquility
The gods attained oneness and thus divinity
The valley attained oneness and thus abundance
The myriad things attained oneness and thus life
The rulers attained oneness and became the standard for the world
These all emerged from oneness

The sky, lacking clarity, would break apart
The earth, lacking tranquility, would erupt
The gods, lacking divinity, would vanish
The valley, lacking abundance, would wither
Myriad things, lacking life, would be extinct
The rulers, lacking standard, would be toppled

Therefore, the honored uses the lowly as basis
The higher uses the lower as foundation
Thus the rulers call themselves alone, bereft, and unworthy
Is this not using the lowly as basis? Is it not so?
Therefore, the ultimate honor is no honor

Do not wish to be shiny like jade
Be dull like rocks
