Daily Horoscope for Cancer Summary

The Sun moves into Virgo this week. Happy Birthday, Virgos! Now it’s time for everyone to join in on the energy! Time to be anal-retentive and hyper-critical! Yay! Time to sneak around and dig into everyone else’s gossip, but never reveal our own. Yay! Time to adopt tunnel-vision and miss the big picture. Yay!

Virgos, like all the other signs in the zodiac, are a mess. But it doesn’t mean we turn a blind eye and leave everything in a shambles. We recognize it, work with what we have, and hopefully correct the mistakes as we go, while making a note-to-self to improve upon it in the future.

It doesn’t help that Mercury, Virgo’s ruling planet, is retrograde. And to boot, it’s retrograde in the sign of Virgo. That’s a double-whammy. It’s the equivalent of one of those gigantic Hollywood spotlights (you know, the ones they use to debut a movie premiere) shining down on Virgo’s nether regions--an area that shy Virgo would much rather keep in the dark. For some reason, Virgo is being made an example of. (Virgos hate to be made an example of, especially on their birthday.) The universal is rubbing the proverbial salt in the proverbial wound. Over the next three weeks, Virgo will pose as the guinea pig.

The universe wouldn't put us (specifically Virgo) through all this if there wasn't a lesson to be learned. (Unfortunately, to Virgo’s chagrin.) Watch carefully and pay close attention to your Virgo brethren. Watch and learn how they cope with this energy over the next three weeks. It might not be a pretty picture. But it’s worth the $7.00 popcorn and the very realistic 3D glasses that come with the ticket. It’s almost as if it’s happening right in front of you!

What are we supposed to learn from all this? What is the universe trying to say with Mercury Retrograde in Virgo on Virgo’s birthday? Good question. I can’t say that I have the answer. However, I do know that I will become a Virgo connoisseur over the next few weeks. I will eat, drink, and study Virgo’s reactions to the on again off again T-square along with the Mercury Retrograde. I will become a Virgoan scientist. And each week, I will report back my findings, if any at all. Perhaps only a Virgo can answer these questions. Please do chime in, Virgos!

The Daily Horoscope for Cancer

The partnerships sector of your chart is being highlighted. It will be an area of focus for quite some time. Take this more seriously than you have been in the past. In order for you to move on in life, this area will have to be catered to and mended, especially if there are any open wounds. Some time ago you signed a contract specific to developing a partnership (business or personal.) Either you’ve fulfilled your end of the bargain and reaped the rewards or you still have promises to keep. Be sure to abide by them. Not following through will result in an ugly and indelible demerit on your report card of Life.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

Yield and remain whole
Bend and remain straight
Be low and become filled
Be worn out and become renewed
Have little and receive
Have much and be confused
Therefore the sages hold to the one as an example for the world
Without flaunting themselves – and so are seen clearly
Without presuming themselves – and so are distinguished
Without praising themselves – and so have merit
Without boasting about themselves – and so are lasting

Because they do not contend, the world cannot contend with them
What the ancients called "the one who yields and remains whole"
Were they speaking empty words?
Sincerity becoming whole, and returning to oneself
