Daily Horoscope for Taurus Summary

Okay, so Mercury is getting along with Saturn, but the two of them are at odds with Mars, which is cool with Neptune and Jupiter, which are both fighting with the Sun. Huh? Meanwhile, Uranus is waiting to form a complex mutable T-Square with Saturn, Mercury and Mars (that starts to intensify early next week). It sounds like a crazy episode of Jerry Springer!

Let's try to break this down a bit. The Sun connecting with Neptune and Jupiter is going to be a barrier to progress, but it's a current barrier. Some of us are going to see where we want to go, what we are striving towards only to see that right now we just don't have the skills and talents to get it done. Because of this, some of us are going to give up and go home. But, just because we aren't prepared to do what we want now doesn't mean we can't get there eventually. So some of us will use this transit to build up skills that are needed to take the next leap forward. Right now, things might seem tough, but this is the type of energy that will spear head great reformations.

The other side of things has the Saturn, Mars, Mercury and Uranus transit forming. This weekend, you'll notice that the things you do aren't really backing up the things you're saying. This is energy that can cause people to resist doing things they're supposed to for no reason other than “they don't want to.” People aren't going to want to hear others tell them what to do. This will continue on into next week (when Uranus starts to get involved), only it's then where you're going to want people to tell you what to do. This transit can get frustrating in that there's a lot of energy and agitation flowing around because people don't know what they're supposed to do with themselves, or where to go. What we need is to listen to the people around us that can show us the way. With Mercury hooked up with Saturn, they aren't going to put things nicely, they'll bluntly tell us what has to happen (which can hurt feelings) but tough it out. It's the message that's important, not the delivery.

If you look at things on the surface, the planets are in a difficult alignment that can cause some hardship this weekend. But, there's boatloads of potential if you look for direction and commit to building yourself. You're going to have to earn it but it's out there. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Taurus

Right now, you can expand your friendships because you'll be willing to accept and embrace those different from you. You can also develop a bit mentally, though you'll tend to explore and build upon concepts and beliefs you already possess, rather than discovering new philosophies. You can do a lot to bring others together right now, but the less attention you get as a result of this, the more comfortable you'll feel. In this regard, people will only tend to notice you when they have something to complain about.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

When people no longer fear force
They bring about greater force

Do not limit their place
Do not reject their livelihood
Because the ruler does not reject them
Therefore they do not reject the ruler

Therefore the sages:
Know themselves but do not glorify themselves
Respect themselves but do not praise themselves
Thus they discard that and take this
