Daily Horoscope for Aries Summary

Monday 5:00 pm: I just found out that Jon Cainer has passed away... It all makes sense to me now after the fact... All weekend long I've been feeling that "tribute" vibe that I wrote about in the weekly scopes... I've also expressed my concerns about that dreaded saturn return... It took out Prince and I have to admit I was worried a bit about it taking me... (gulp)... Anyway... Jon and I go back to what was nearly the start of the internet... when there was only really 3 of us astrologers online... We had our differences on a few things, but he challenged me to take it further... Not to play it safe... I am very sad he is gone and he will be missed.

In some aspects, today’s chart is more of a community one. People are going to have a better sense of where they fit into more global situations, and you’ll see how the things you do individually impact the people around you, and even to some extent, people beyond your immediate frame of mind. Everyone can operate under something of a more public profile, and some can use this to try to make a big jump upwards in reputation and standing.

However, with Mercury retrograde, you’re still going to have some sense that the things you do aren’t going to be accepted by others (which might not be true). It’s these reservations that can create issues, because sometimes you might not feel like going through with things, even though they can work out well for you. It’s one of those opportunities to bail out before you cash in on something.

On a general level, I’m big on the principle of trying things and being okay with failing at them. Failures inspire growth, and the most successful people all have a litany of failures under their belts (which turn into knowledge). So given the energy gives people a chance to bail on things they might fail at, and with Saturn retro (no external impetus pushing you to confront difficult situations), it might be easy to fall back and say that you’ll try to get them next time. It’s not the best move; you should be trying new things and seeing how they turn out. So dig a little deeper, and don’t worry so much about the successes you might not achieve. Worry about not trying for them at all. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Aries

The current energy revolves around your ability to control your resources. This might be more of a challenge at present, but when you seem to have a healthy amount of stuff, you won’t be overencumbered by want. With less want, you’ll make fewer rash decisions. The other side of this energy is if you make things super-urgent, you might try to accelerate timelines, mucking things up in the process. So be somewhat patient, and make sure to appreciate what you already have.

...Show some Love...

Today's Astrology Quote of the Day:
We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born...
Astrology does not lay claim to anything more...

Daily Tao

Those that attained oneness since ancient times:
The sky attained oneness and thus clarity
The earth attained oneness and thus tranquility
The gods attained oneness and thus divinity
The valley attained oneness and thus abundance
The myriad things attained oneness and thus life
The rulers attained oneness and became the standard for the world
These all emerged from oneness

The sky, lacking clarity, would break apart
The earth, lacking tranquility, would erupt
The gods, lacking divinity, would vanish
The valley, lacking abundance, would wither
Myriad things, lacking life, would be extinct
The rulers, lacking standard, would be toppled

Therefore, the honored uses the lowly as basis
The higher uses the lower as foundation
Thus the rulers call themselves alone, bereft, and unworthy
Is this not using the lowly as basis? Is it not so?
Therefore, the ultimate honor is no honor

Do not wish to be shiny like jade
Be dull like rocks
