Weekly Horoscope for Taurus Summary

Today I Start my Life Anew..!!

Thank you Angelika... (wink)...
( Angelika Passed me the Olives!!)...((( CHEER )))

It's a Holiday Week...
Christmas Week... A Joyous Time... At least for most it is... But there are plenty of people out there that are, or have struggled in what should be festive times... I was one of those... One year, it was hard enough just tryin' to feed the kids, but let alone to buy Christmas presents for our families... Now I'm not weak or a pussy... But one night this Ray Charles came on and sang "Little Drummer Boy" and those tears wouldn't stop runnin' down my face.

At the time...
The company we started was strugglin'... At the last minute it seemed, we made a sale... It wouldn't pay much... A small website for a pool-hall... We finished the work and rushed to the customer in order to get paid... While we were waitin' for the owner of the company to pay us... (he was busy with a customer)...

An older guy came in and started talkin' to us... He started talkin' about the birds he raises and then gives them to the neighborhood kids that come over to 'help' him... Anyway... We got paid in cash but asked the owner who that guy was... He said he's just an old guy that lives alone and stops by... Said he didn't have anywhere else to go after his wife died... He told us that he worked at a restaurant... Anyway were paid and left.

As we were walkin' back to the car, we passed a jewelry store and in the window and in the window a beautiful glass sculpture of a man with a bird in a raised arm giving it to children... We went in and asked about it and the price was almost exactly what we were just paid... It wasn't much... Without thinking, we bought it... (It wouldn't have been enough for us to buy presents for either of our kids)... So we wrapped it up... Took it to the restaurant where he worked and asked the woman who greeted us to give it to the elderly man who washed dishes... She smiled and took it and we left... Inside there was a note that said "Thanks for takin' care of the children" and signed it "Father Christmas".

Every Christmas I get the Blues... But they are happy blues now... I feel quiet inside... Sure, there are times when we still struggle... That's part of life I 'Spose... Especially now With Mercury bein' retro and the chart so 'one-sided' and it's easy to lose perspective of how deeply others may be feelin' the blues... You never forget those few that saw and understood what we may be goin' through... And them havin' faith in us, gave us the faith not to give up and turn away.

This isn't easy energy for all of us to deal with... And I strongly suspect it's going to get a bit rough in the weeks/months ahead too... So we're going to have to be strong... Strong enough never to give up or to lose hope, faith, trust or most of all, our humanity!.. Just remember that magic can only happen when we remain in the moment... If you let it, the magic WILL find you.

Merry Christmas

P.S.
By the way... The story above isn't just me blatherin' on... There's a lot more astrology in there than most would realize... It's just that I didn't use the Planet and 'Roid positions to 'Splain what I was writing about... If you listen to the Song of the Week... Not just the music, but the soul in Ray's voice you'll surely 'get it'!! Sometimes we may not have a lot to give, but we can give our best back to others in the things we say and do.

That's it for now...
Thanks for stoppin' by..!!
I'll talk to you guys later...

Keep the Faith...
Better Days and Higher Love are comin' soon...

The Weekly Horoscope for Taurus

The Weekly Horoscope for Taurus has an energy that can bring both confusion and delusion as well as insight and understanding... And the tough part will be in tryin' to 'figger' out which is which... The best thing you can do is to 'give it time' and to let time sort out the details... In the meantime, you would be wise to focus on your own immediate actions, duties or whatever... The idea is not to try to push yourself beyond your limits... It has a "what works and what doesn't" kind of practicality!!

Today's Astrology Quote of the Day:
The stars which shone over Babylon and the stable in Bethlehem still shine as brightly over the Empire State Building and your front yard today......
~ Linda Goodman

Daily Tao

Cease learning, no more worries
Respectful response and scornful response
How much is the difference?
Goodness and evil
How much do they differ?
What the people fear, I cannot be unafraid

So desolate! How limitless it is!
The people are excited
As if enjoying a great feast
As if climbing up to the terrace in spring
I alone am quiet and uninvolved
Like an infant not yet smiling
So weary, like having no place to return
The people all have surplus
While I alone seem lacking
I have the heart of a fool indeed – so ignorant!
Ordinary people are bright
I alone am muddled
Ordinary people are scrutinizing
I alone am obtuse
Such tranquility, like the ocean
Such high wind, as if without limits

The people all have goals
And I alone am stubborn and lowly
I alone am different from them
And value the nourishing mother
