Daily Horoscope for Taurus Summary

We're dealing with an element of illusion this weekend (and on into next week), which can add some complexity to the mix. On the surface, it might seem like a boatload of opportunities are opening up right now. People might notice their fortune's starting to turn around a bit (especially those hit hard by current financial issues). There's a hint that hope is going to be restored and all will be well again.

In truth though, many of the “opportunities” out there are things you wouldn't be interested in taking on as they are far from your ideal situations. People might offer you the promise of wealth, but there isn't any real substance to these claims if you dig deep enough. If you only pay attention to what's happening on the surface, it might seem like there is action and movement, when really, nothing of substance has happened yet. Factor in that Mercury's retro (which can generally make new endeavors short-lived) and it's best not to become deluded here.

On the flip side, if you dig through the layers of excuses and bull that are covering everything up right now, you can find where the truth begins. Making some hard realizations here can shock you into growing and accepting where you are as a person, what you need to change to improve your situations and to lead you closer to the things and people you want in your lives.

In a way, it's kind of like the Matrix. You can eat the juicy steak, try to live in the illusion and let your ignorance block out the parts of the world you'd rather not see. Or you can eat the crappy slop, suck it up and work towards making everything better. Either way, you have the choice of where you want to go this weekend. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Taurus

Obligations will take precedence here over everything else; you won't break plans to do something you'd enjoy more because it's important that you stand by your word. At the same time though, you won't be the type to mope about missed experiences. In fact, there won't be a ton of excitement coming from you guys this weekend about anything; you can be pretty indifferent about anything you'd rather not do, but you won't really get pumped for anything you do want to do.

...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
