Daily Horoscope for Taurus Summary

Mercury is retro once again, and with the Sun connecting with Uranus, it might seem more retro than normal. Today, you should be on the lookout for technological/electrical issues, as these can tend to pop up. Some of these might be of the sort where you're reassessing your whole set-up. You might decide to scrap it and rebuild something totally from scratch. As someone with a father who's rebuilt his computer roughly six million times, this doesn't always turn out like you think it will in your mind, so it's important that you plan in advance. Avoid doing these sorts of things when you need the item in question for something important. Don't rebuild your computer right before you need to do work on it; don't take your car to the shop right before you need to take a trip in it.

This is going to be the brunt of the energy this week, though Pluto will be hanging out in the background and can make other things screwy. There's a higher propensity for chaotic elements to occur during the day, but this fades out over the next few days.

Overall, today's more about weathering the storm and "getting your feet wet" for this Mercury retro cycle, which lasts about four weeks. Prepare for the crazy, and the delays, and maybe running into your exes, and the missed communications and everything else that happens when Mercury is retro. And by that same note, look at everything, and see where you're taking things too seriously, and where you might need to revisit what you're doing. It's easy to focus on the annoying stuff, but Mercury retro always gives us a chance to "right the ship", though you have to alter your perspective to do so. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Taurus

There's this thing called Mercury retro doubt, where you always replay what you've done and said to others and wondered if they've misinterpreted it (usually they don't take things the wrong way). You don't want this to get you down, and you also don't want to make things weird. The real big thing is you stay consistent with your actions. There's a tendency for you to use negative outcomes as a crutch of justification with this energy, and you should plod through regardless of how things turn out. Stick to the process.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

High virtue is not virtuous
Therefore it has virtue
Low virtue never loses virtue
Therefore it has no virtue
High virtue takes no contrived action
And acts without agenda
Low virtue takes contrived action
And acts with agenda
High benevolence takes contrived action
And acts without agenda
High righteousness takes contrived action
And acts with agenda
High etiquette takes contrived action
And upon encountering no response
Uses arms to pull others

Therefore, the Tao is lost, and then virtue
Virtue is lost, and then benevolence
Benevolence is lost, and then righteousness
Righteousness is lost, and then etiquette
Those who have etiquette
are a thin shell of loyalty and sincerity
And the beginning of chaos
Those with foreknowledge
Are the flowers of the Tao
And the beginning of ignorance
Therefore the great person:
Abides in substance, and does not dwell on the thin shell
Abides in the real, and does not dwell on the flower
Thus they discard that and take this
