Daily Horoscope for Taurus Summary
In the internet era, hyperbole has reigned as king and words don't mean what they used to. The impact of a lot of words has been watered down. There's some rebound in some of the newer youth slang out there (big thumbs up to "mid"), but most of the people my age and older have been existing for the last 20-25 years in a social world where you have to shout to extremes for attention, in the scant hopes you're heard over everyone else.
At the same time, we are chicken (metaphorically). We take on the flavor of whatever we're marinating in. If all of the media you consume has a certain flavor, you start to reflect that flavor. If you started predisposed to that flavor, you emphasize it even more the longer you're immersed. And also like chicken, it's hard to change the flavor if you botched it.
We're in an election year. Rhetoric is charged. People want to make hyperbolic claims about "preserving democracy" and "we must defeat the other candidate". I'm getting old. I don't want to defeat someone on the other team. I just want politicians who want to defeat the damn potholes in the street, and who want to defeat $20 "mid" hamburgers and defeat the social problems that come with things like homeless encampments and unchecked immigration.
We're all stewing in a pot of discontent. The social media era has magnified this - it didn't invent it, but it's strengthened its reach. Our current chart is one where that discontent can boil over, into our words and into our actions as well. This is going to linger a little while. Some people might be out there banging the drum of revolution. The democrats don't think Biden can win. Trump supporters are out there saying he's touched by the hand of God. Centrists think the whole country lost its damn mind (and it has). That's the marinade we're swimming in. Be the spice that changes the flavor to something better. Defeat problems, not people. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Taurus
You can be very "my way or the highway" today, but you have to be very cognizant of the tone you're setting for people around you (especially for those of you who are parents). You might think that you're dictating how things turn out around you now, but you might be sowing the seeds for future problems via other people who will turn around and do the exact same things you're currently doing. What example are you setting for those around you?
...Show some Love...

Daily Tao
High virtue is not virtuousTherefore 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
