Daily Horoscope for Cancer Summary

Now, I'm not the world's smartest man. However, I do know that if you want someone to hurry things up, angrily screaming "Do it faster!" into their ear isn't helping. Getting angry at someone is never the missing element to success. There's no one reflecting out there when things are done poorly and saying to themselves, "if only I yelled more and wildly gesticulated, this would have gone way better".

Today, there's probably going to be people out there in the wilds doing this though. Frustration, impatience and some sense of urgency can take hold within us and that can push us towards doing things that are irrational. Don't be the guy at McDonald's throwing a hissy fit because your order took 4 minutes to come out instead of 3 1/2 minutes. Most of this stuff just isn't that important.

What is important is to remember the impact escalation has on the world around us. We're emotional creatures, and things that happen in the morning linger on until later in the day if we continue to think about them. The decisions we make are often not based in the moment, but in that moment combined with the lead up to that moment. It's usually a good idea to limit emotional impact in the decision making process, but it's real hard to complete negate those things. Mood matters. Today, it will matter more, so if others around you are being Negative Nancies or Angry Arnolds, it's going to make it harder to do the things you need to. Likewise, if you're being that person, you aren't helping; you're making others' lives more difficult (which tends to come around and make yours more of a pain as well). So don't do that. Strive for deescalation - the calmer things are, the better they will go. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Cancer

The world will seem like it revolves around you today, which can tend to strip you of perspective on how other people are impacted by things going on around you. Having a sense of self-importance isn't always a bad thing, but here you'll need to cooperate with others in order to get bigger goals accomplished. If you're too self-centered, you can push a lot of your allies away (or never make those allies in the first place). You might need to internalize many of your ego driven thoughts in order to keep sociability with others at a decent level.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

The Tao masters of antiquity
Subtle wonders through mystery
Depths that cannot be discerned
Because one cannot discern them
Therefore one is forced to describe the appearance

Hesitant, like crossing a wintry river
Cautious, like fearing four neighbors
Solemn, like a guest
Loose, like ice about to melt
Genuine, like plain wood
Open, like a valley
Opaque, like muddy water

Who can be muddled yet desist
In stillness gradually become clear?
Who can be serene yet persist
In motion gradually come alive?

One who holds this Tao does not wish to be overfilled
Because one is not overfilled
Therefore one can preserve and not create anew
