Daily Horoscope for Cancer Summary

We've got two big configurations at work in this weekend's chart. We've got a Mars-Uranus-Pluto T-Square that's been hanging up there for the past week or so. It's going to draw certain problems in our lives to the forefront. It can put added pressure on little things in life, or make big issues even more urgent than they normally might be. It's enough to make you pull your hair out at times. Still, the message within is clear: get things corrected and moving on the right path again or else this is going to spiral out of control to the point where it becomes a huge failure. Knowing this, take a deep breath and get your house back in order. Try your best to ignore the external pressure in these situations and make things between you and the situations to be handled. If you can do this, things will turn out much better.

At the same time, we're warming up for a quick Sun-Venus-Mercury stellium that will start to kick in over the weekend. This can put a ton of focus on our relationships, in particular what they're really all about. Often times we can fall in love with "the concept" of a person. In romance, someone might be really hot, and we imagine how awesome they must be, based on a few qualities they've shown. In platonic or business type relationships, some times we do the same thing, only instead of "hotness", we use something like benefits a person might give to us by being our friend or partner.

This energy is going to tend to strip all that crap out of our assessment process. We can second-guess our feelings about different people, which might seem strange (and at times disappointing), but as a result we are going to have more realistic bonds with the people we decide to hook up. This brings added intensity to many of our relationships, and as times moves forward, it can help us keep good, solid people within our inner circles. So keep an open-mind about the people you encounter, take a step back and think about how much they value your relationship (and not just about how much you have invested in it). Some people might fall down your priorities list, and conversely, others might start to rise up. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Cancer

In the quest to do things that boost your self-confidence, you can resort to some pretty drastic measures. A lot of these things can be appearance based, where you worry so much about how others are going to perceive you. In truth though, most people are going to be so immersed in their own situations that they aren't going to care if you wear the green dress or the blue one. You shouldn't dress like a slob (they will pick up on that), but you also shouldn't tailor your appearance based on what you think others are looking for. It's just too much wasted effort.

...Show some Love...

Today's Astrology Quote of the Day:
Failure or success seem to have been allotted to men by their stars...
But they retain the power of wriggling, of fighting with their star or against it, and in the whole universe the only really interesting movement is this wriggle...
~ E.M. Forster

Daily Tao

Hold the great image
All under heaven will come
They come without harm, in harmonious peace

Music and food, passing travelers stop
The Tao that is spoken out of the mouth
Is bland and without flavor

Look at it, it cannot be seen
Listen to it, it cannot be heard
Use it, it cannot be exhausted
