Daily Horoscope for Cancer Summary

A eulogy for the garage:

For many people, in their youth (and often beyond that), there are familiar haunts, the old stomping grounds where you regularly meet up and hang out. You might venture to other areas, but there's usually one or two set hang out spots where you go most often, where you feel most comfortable. For the guys in my circle, the spot of our late teens and early twenties was the garage. It was big, could seat 15 guys comfortably (though admittedly there were many nights where guys had to stand up because there weren't 15 chairs) and it was shelter from the wind on many a winter nights. The other guys' moms or dads would drop them off on Friday afternoon and come to pick them up on Sunday night. During the days we'd go off on our regular adventures or play sports of some sorts, and then at night we'd get drunk in the garage.

It was usually rather cold in there during the winter, and most of the time the lights didn't work so we'd have to light a bunch of candles for light, but it served its function of being the chief hang-out spot for a long time.

Predominantly, the only thing really to do inside was talk (or as we liked to call it "philosophizing"). We'd talk about all sorts of topics, many of importance, some revolving around politics or political theory, others around our wishes out of life, some about girls we knew, and others that are best not to mention here. I suppose when you're young, life is so full of possibilities and you give anything a shot.

Anyways, that's what I'll take away most from the time in the garage, is getting to really know your friends and the discussions about hopes, wishes, possibilities and potential. It's probably been around 10 years since the last time any of us hung out inside, but it still was the primary location upon which all of our tightest friendships were formed. I'll miss that aspect, but hey, now the yard'll probably be bigger.

Anyways, today's astrological tie-in is this. The Sun, Mars and Neptune are all hanging out in Aquarius and this is going to put an increased emphasis on exploring the same types of hopes, aspirations, wants and possibilities that we used to talk about back in the day. The Sun and Neptune will conspire to think up cockamamie ideas and Mars, much like the "liquid courage" (booze) we used to consume, will push us to take action on the ideas we come up with.

So in all, it's a day of dreaming, but it's also a day putting those dreams into action. In most cases, this will work out to be beneficial, but you do want to watch out for "the guy who takes things too far", because that potential is definitely out there today too. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Cancer

Imagining what you'd like to see happen can end up being more pleasurable than actually experiencing it. So a lot of the action today is going to take place in your mind. You can focus more intently on specific passions you have and it's going to be a great time for eliminating things that you do that aren't really in line with your goals. You'll have more ideas, wishes and wants than time to actually execute them all, so it's this streamlining of your pursuits that will leave you only pushing for things that are important to you, rather than things you do to occupy time.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

When the world knows beauty as beauty, ugliness arises
When it knows good as good, evil arises
Thus being and non-being produce each other
Difficult and easy bring about each other
Long and short reveal each other
High and low support each other
Music and voice harmonize each other
Front and back follow each other
Therefore the sages:
Manage the work of detached actions
Conduct the teaching of no words
They work with myriad things but do not control
They create but do not possess
They act but do not presume
They succeed but do not dwell on success
It is because they do not dwell on success
That it never goes away
