Daily Horoscope for Taurus Summary

* I remember parading the streets of Baltimore, bombed to the moon, singing Holy Diver with the sons of Mac at the top of our lungs. Life has its bright spots and that was certainly one of them. Rock on, Ronnie James Dio *

I've been writing scopes for quite a while now, years and years, but this chart might be the craziest that I've seen. Venus, Saturn, Uranus, Jupiter and Pluto in the Grand Cross formation, Sun hooking up with Saturn, Mercury hitting Pluto, Neptune and Chiron hitting Venus, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria. Major stuff. And that's where it gets tricky.

You see, I look at this chart and I keep waiting for some big event to come along, something that seems to match the intensity of the planetary alignment, but then I forget that the Universe almost always operates in manners that none of us expect (because what fun is predictability). So the magic here is probably going to come through subtlety (at least in our individual lives).

People are going to battle with their personal wants and desires here, as Venus seems to be in the most precarious position. But there's a larger sense of confusion, partially because of its connection with Neptune (which can fill us with pleasant dreamscapes) but also because of its position within the Grand Cross (which will hit us with a reality that fails to match our dreams, imagination and wishes). There's so many disconnects and dichotomies between mind and emotion, and thought and reality (realistically afflicting most areas of life) that it makes it extremely tough to rationalize where things are going. Awesome opportunities might seem jaded. The things we desire most might be leading us astray. It's hard to know what to pursue and what to avoid.

There's so much unpredictability in the chart that you can almost begin to expect it. Be ready for anything, and be ready to try anything. Right now, in the cosmic landscape, we're all lost in the tornado (like Dorothy on the way to Oz). Nothing is particularly rooted as such, so you don't have much to lose if something backfires. Keep a very present-minded mentality and see where things go. When the whirlwind lets up, it'll toss around in a way no one really planned anyways, and we can pick it up from there. It's no use trying to control anything in a state like this. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Taurus

The quality of your thoughts is going to improve a bit because you'll have a little more perspective than you've been carrying recently. You'll look at things with a broader outlook, taking others into consideration and seeing how the bigger picture tends to fall together. There are still issues to deal with, primarily dealing with expression and getting difficult feelings out into the open. Often here you can think too much about the "end situation", keeping feelings inside to avoid conflict with others, while ignoring any potential damage they might be creating to your mindset.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

Govern a country with upright integrity
Deploy the military with surprise tactics
Take the world with non-interference
How do I know this is so?
With the following:

When there are many restrictions in the world
The people become more impoverished
When people have many sharp weapons
The country becomes more chaotic
When people have many clever tricks
More strange things occur
The more laws are posted
The more robbers and thieves there are

Therefore the sage says:
I take unattached action, and the people transform themselves
I prefer quiet, and the people right themselves
I do not interfere, and the people enrich themselves
I have no desires, and the people simplify themselves
