Daily Horoscope for Cancer Summary

* I remember parading the streets of Baltimore, bombed to the moon, singing Holy Diver with the sons of Mac at the top of our lungs. Life has its bright spots and that was certainly one of them. Rock on, Ronnie James Dio *

I've been writing scopes for quite a while now, years and years, but this chart might be the craziest that I've seen. Venus, Saturn, Uranus, Jupiter and Pluto in the Grand Cross formation, Sun hooking up with Saturn, Mercury hitting Pluto, Neptune and Chiron hitting Venus, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria. Major stuff. And that's where it gets tricky.

You see, I look at this chart and I keep waiting for some big event to come along, something that seems to match the intensity of the planetary alignment, but then I forget that the Universe almost always operates in manners that none of us expect (because what fun is predictability). So the magic here is probably going to come through subtlety (at least in our individual lives).

People are going to battle with their personal wants and desires here, as Venus seems to be in the most precarious position. But there's a larger sense of confusion, partially because of its connection with Neptune (which can fill us with pleasant dreamscapes) but also because of its position within the Grand Cross (which will hit us with a reality that fails to match our dreams, imagination and wishes). There's so many disconnects and dichotomies between mind and emotion, and thought and reality (realistically afflicting most areas of life) that it makes it extremely tough to rationalize where things are going. Awesome opportunities might seem jaded. The things we desire most might be leading us astray. It's hard to know what to pursue and what to avoid.

There's so much unpredictability in the chart that you can almost begin to expect it. Be ready for anything, and be ready to try anything. Right now, in the cosmic landscape, we're all lost in the tornado (like Dorothy on the way to Oz). Nothing is particularly rooted as such, so you don't have much to lose if something backfires. Keep a very present-minded mentality and see where things go. When the whirlwind lets up, it'll toss around in a way no one really planned anyways, and we can pick it up from there. It's no use trying to control anything in a state like this. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Cancer

Personal needs are going to be more important to you mentally, because you can only run around trying to help others so much before you need a break. This energy is intended to get you back to square one. If things aren't alright with you, then you will struggle to look after other people. Part of this means you have to make concessions in the areas of relationships, and if you have a partner, they have to be understanding that you need some "me-time". You can easily fall into the trap of thinking that there's enough of you to spread around, but the day will end up passing by far too quickly, so look out for yourself first.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

True words are not beautiful
Beautiful words are not true
Those who are good do not debate
Those who debate are not good
Those who know are not broad of knowledge
Those who are broad of knowledge do not know

Sages do not accumulate
The more they assist others, the more they possess
The more they give to others, the more they gain

The Tao of heaven
Benefits and does not harm
The Tao of sages
Assists and does not contend
