Daily Horoscope for Taurus Summary

Maybe Henry Clay could save us, but he’s been dead a hundred and fifty years. You can see dissent rising here in the US. Watch the news (entertainment) media. Troll internet news site and read blogs, and read comments on blogs. On one hand, I’d say we as a people are becoming more informed than we’ve ever been, which is important, but on the other, we are not using the information to our best benefits. And there is a reason for this. It’s called winning.

Look at the debates emerging about hot-button topics. Immigration and Arizona’s law regarding the enforcement of it. Healthcare. The economy. Usage of government funds. The “Tea Party” trying to “take back” the country and liberals trying to give everything they could conceivably come up with away. But if you read the comments, listen to the rhetoric and hear what people are saying on the issues, it all comes back to “winning”.

Those engaged aren’t trying to solve problems, they are trying to win arguments. It’s large political and starts from the top down. Everyone wants to be “right”. In political circles, this makes sense because it’s about job preservation. But us, the common man, this has afflicted us and it further drives the wedge between people. It serves us no purpose. It only builds hard feelings and further cements the “team” mentality that afflicts political debate. That is what is wrong with politics in this day and age. It’s us versus them. It’s the same as sports only there are no balls.

This shortsighted view will crush us if it continues to snowball. There is a middle ground. There is a gray area. Henry Clay would have found it. Everyone is chasing the ideal, and it’s eminent in the astrology, but concession and cooperation are the only way to fix things. If we’re only trying to win, then we all lose. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Taurus

Those of you who are accustomed to turning to spiritual means aren’t necessarily going to find the answers you’re looking for. The key word there is “looking”. You might be looking to justify the answers you want, and if you get something else, you can swear that off as crap, which might lead to hard feelings in the process. Your personal wants aren’t going to mesh with what you want out of everybody else. If you’re committed to chasing your own dreams, you need to be ready to accept that you aren’t going to make others happy in the process.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

While alive, the body is soft and pliant
When dead, it is hard and rigid
All living things, grass and trees,
While alive, are soft and supple
When dead, become dry and brittle
Thus that which is hard and stiff
is the follower of death
That which is soft and yielding
is the follower of life
Therefore, an inflexible army will not win
A strong tree will be cut down
The big and forceful occupy a lowly position
While the soft and pliant occupy a higher place
