Daily Horoscope for Cancer Summary

Lots going on in today's chart, which can make things a little more confusing than normal. Let's break it down:

Mercury moves into Scorpio for starters. This cycle will have people talking about others' best interests. There's a caring or subservient nature to a lot of the dialogue you'll share with others. The positive front will certainly be out there, and if people drift into some troublesome spots, others will generally try to dig them out of it. But there's also a darker side to the energy. People will internally be looking to protect themselves from trouble (even if the exposure of said trouble could help/exonerate someone else). It's like breaking the cookie jar and blaming it on your little brother so he gets the whooping and you don't. So keep your eyes peeled for "below the surface" developments here, as others might be withholding information to save their own asses.

That will linger for the next few weeks or so. In more immediate terms, we've also got a couple of Mars aspects in play; a good one with Jupiter and a not-so-good one with Neptune. Mars-Jupiter is going to have people working hard for self-fulfilling gains (driven by Jupiter being retrograde). If the carrot is on the end of the stick, you'll chase after it (and hard). This is a good transit for digging people out of ruts of laziness or a lack of inspiration. It can also enhance our emotional responses to the things going on around us, as well as our general desire and pursuit of wealth and abundance.

Still, you should reserve your energy for chasing things directly in front of you, which you can see and where you know that if you do what you need to, you'll achieve the desired reward. The reason for this is the Mars-Neptune transit. This is going to build up bigger aspirations and dreams, but a great deal (if not all) of it will be pure fantasy. It's like building imaginary conditions for your dreams that you can set to achieve. Things like "If I lose ten pounds the coffee girl will like me more," or "If I cut my hair, this job I'm applying for will hire me." That's not to say such conditions won't help you out in your goals, but the nature of this energy is that you will fully "believe" that these conditions are the keys to your success, when in fact, they're just things you've come up with off the top of your head and aren't terribly related to what you're striving for. As I say whenever Neptune's afflicted, Keep it Real. If you think about things in real terms, you won't fall victim to the disillusions that lead others astray. It might not be as fun as living in fantasy land for a little while, but real world land will turn out a lot better as a result. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Cancer

Work to expand your overall territory or level of abundance because this is where you'll find the most success. You should be able to enjoy just about anything (which will make you very fun to be around) and your activities will do a great deal to improve your overall insight. You need to be careful about potential changes here though, because in reality, there is probably more "potential" than actual change itself coming. Don't build your hopes up in waiting for things to happen. Either make something happen yourself or don't worry about it at all.

...Show some Love...

I believe in a lot of astrology... I believe in aliens.....

Daily Tao

Tao produces one
One produces two
Two produce three
Three produce myriad things
Myriad things, backed by yin and embracing yang
Achieve harmony by integrating their energy
What the people dislike
Are alone, bereft, and unworthy
But the rulers call themselves with these terms

So with all things
Appear to take loss but benefit
Or receive benefit but lose
What the ancients taught
I will also teach
The violent one cannot have a natural death
I will use this as the principal of all teachings
