Daily Horoscope for Cancer Summary

Routines are one of the primary forces in life. We learn them at a young age. When we were in school, you show up at roughly the same time every day and you leave at the same time. You take the same classes at the same times each day. You get home and your parents make you do your homework in a similar fashion; maybe right after school, maybe after dinner. You go to college and for good stretches of time you do the same thing; class at the same times over the course of the semester. Then you graduate and you get a job that probably starts at 9 in the morning and you work it until 5 and then you go home. Routine.

However, think of all of the stories you tell others. The things that are humorous, the things that are exciting, or even depressing. The overwhelming majority of these are things that break from your routine. The time I was working at the doctor's office and one of the sales reps came in and told me he crapped himself on the commute in? Not routine. At least I hope it wasn't routine.

The point I'm trying to make is that when you digress from the norm, things get more exciting. There's more stories to tell, life becomes more interesting, and when life becomes more interesting, we tend to enjoy it more. Even the bad occurrences give us something to bitch about to others, which in itself tends to be enjoyable. Today's energy gives us the impulse to look for something different out there. It allows us to slam on the breaks and say, “Look, what I've been doing lately is kind of boring, and it sucks, so I'm not going to do it as much as I used to.” Some people might make the decision that their job isn't fulfilling enough for them anymore, or the regular ways they spend their time needs to be altered, or they don't see enough of certain people, or they see too much of other people. All of it factors in. So the potential for change here is pretty strong. Look to shake things up, particularly if you've fallen into a rut of SSDD. We thrive on novelty, so make sure there's enough in your life. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Cancer

Some routines become so ingrained that you just continue on with them, maybe even after you've changed your goals around. This is something that can happen here, even if the reason you're changing your goals around is to get different results. As such, the key right now is to do things a little differently, even if you're not sure how things are going to turn out. If it's a colossal failure, well you learned something you can teach to others later. And if not, well you have a new method that you can use at your disposal.

...Show some Love...

Today's Astrology Quote of the Day:
We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born...

Daily Tao

A strong military, a tool of misfortune
All things detest it
Therefore, those who possess the Tao avoid it
Honorable gentlemen, while at home, value the left
When deploying the military, value the right

The military is a tool of misfortune
Not the tool of honorable gentlemen
When using it out of necessity
Calm detachment should be above all
Victorious but without glory
Those who glorify
Are delighting in the killing
Those who delight in killing
Cannot achieve their ambitions upon the world

Auspicious events favor the left
Inauspicious events favor the right
The lieutenant general is positioned to the left
The major general is positioned to the right
We say that they are treated as if in a funeral
Those who have been killed
Should be mourned with sadness
Victory in war should be treated as a funeral
