Daily Horoscope for Cancer Summary

This seems to be an eventful retro cycle already and there can be this feeling inside that many of the things occurring in the present set the stage for something greater in development behind the scenes. There might be some positive developments in the works, but the trouble is that it can be hard to see that in the present. We tend to be more emotional in the day-to-day (and certainly can be today), which often leads us to make more of things than there should be. At the same time, maybe many of the struggles we face now are more indicative of our unhappiness with certain states than we want to say openly. Most things see the light eventually, including the things we grumble about to ourselves or closest companions.

Today's energy can build a discontented view of where we are relative to the things we want. Absence carries a lot of weight and we can dwell upon it here. This can lead to things being said and done that express a lack of appreciation for what we already have. If you can remain humble and patient, this energy isn't so bad. It's when you have this internal "need" for things, particularly those that aren't really necessary, that you tend to have the most problems. Keep plugging away and worry not about what's available in the here and now. This is a weather the storm kind of chart, but it'll pass and what you maintain now will be a boon when it's time to forge ahead once more. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Cancer

While you may strive for more order and organization today, it can be hard to come by with all of the unexpected developments that tend to sprout up in a chart like this. That might lead to this mindset that you're doomed to all of the things that you can't control. While these things can impact you, it's not like you'll be fully stripped of control, as long as you don't give up that control yourself. You might have to come up with inventive solutions to problems, at a time when you're mentally pressed to begin with, but it's not impossible to do that (or at a minimum, something). Even making attempts at things is better than standing by watching what will happen if you don't.

Astrological prayers seem to me to be built on as good reason as the predictions...

Daily Tao

High virtue is not virtuous
Therefore it has virtue
Low virtue never loses virtue
Therefore it has no virtue
High virtue takes no contrived action
And acts without agenda
Low virtue takes contrived action
And acts with agenda
High benevolence takes contrived action
And acts without agenda
High righteousness takes contrived action
And acts with agenda
High etiquette takes contrived action
And upon encountering no response
Uses arms to pull others

Therefore, the Tao is lost, and then virtue
Virtue is lost, and then benevolence
Benevolence is lost, and then righteousness
Righteousness is lost, and then etiquette
Those who have etiquette
are a thin shell of loyalty and sincerity
And the beginning of chaos
Those with foreknowledge
Are the flowers of the Tao
And the beginning of ignorance
Therefore the great person:
Abides in substance, and does not dwell on the thin shell
Abides in the real, and does not dwell on the flower
Thus they discard that and take this
