Daily Horoscope for Aquarius Summary

Today's energy is all about power. So it's going to be a little weird that I start off with a story about Olive Garden. I like Olive Garden (which is probably sacrilege being of partial Sicilian descent, but the lasagna is tasty, so back off). Me and my buddy Jaret have been going there to eat for years. Jaret, like myself, is 30, went to college, went to Ranger School, studied to become a surveyor, became a surveyor, and now there's no surveying work, so he's now unemployed. Anyways, a couple of weeks back he gets a job at Olive Garden, where he's going to work as a waiter. I'm pumped, because hey, employee discount.

Tonight we go out to eat, and he tells me he got canned from Olive Garden after two weeks. I'm like why? He's a smart guy, has worked in restaurants before; it's a little shocking. Apparently, he mistakenly wiped out an order cause he hit the wrong button on their touch screen, but he was able to redo the credit card info, the Olive Garden gift card any everything but a two-dollar coupon. That's supposed to come out of his tips. A manager who works there told him to trade the coupon off to someone else for two bucks, and they can throw it on an order and he can get his two bucks; an unwritten rule they say. He tries to do this, but some other waitress he talked to complains to the general manager, who's obligated by the rules of their job to report it to Corporate. Corporate dubs this as “fraud”, and orders Jaret to be immediately terminated. Over a two-dollar coupon. At a job he's had for two weeks, where he's still learning the ropes. Power.

So since Olive Garden a. believes my buddy is masterminding some scheme to bankrupt them one two-dollar coupon at a time, or b. cares so little about discarding new employees over menial mess-ups, I figured I'll share this heaping pile of BS with the multitude of people who read our horoscopes. And this is the crux of today's energy; when you try to over-exert your influence, others are going to resist and push back, and it's going to make even small situations a mess. So look for balance and fairness in the things that you do and with the people you interact with, or else you too can get sucked into an abyss you don't really want to deal with. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Aquarius

There might be some ceilings that you are quickly approaching, but you might be at a loss for ways to move further in the quest for your goals. Others might have some discouraging commentary for you, but you don't have to buy into this. There's going to be a sense within you that you can create new opportunities just by talking your way into them, but the way things are set up, you better have some past results to back your words up.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

Those who wish to take the world and control it
I see that they cannot succeed
The world is a sacred instrument
One cannot control it
The one who controls it will fail
The one who grasps it will lose

Because all things:
Either lead or follow
Either blow hot or cold
Either have strength or weakness
Either have ownership or take by force

Therefore the sage:
Eliminates extremes
Eliminates excess
Eliminates arrogance
