Daily Horoscope for Cancer Summary

This is not a good time to feel like you're backed into a corner. There can be some actions that come out of sheer desperation today when we feel that we have no other choice (though we probably do). It's when we're impulsive that we can make our worst decisions now, so the goal is always to take a step back and assess things before making a decision on them.

If you can avoid that aspect of the energy, the rest of the chart is very solid. A lot of wheels can be greased, making more difficult scenarios a bit easier to get through. The more active you are, the better things will tend to go, as there's more opportunity for things to develop in your favor. So use your time to get involved with others and work on some projects. It's not a day where you want to stay inside and waste away. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Cancer

There's a protective element to this energy that might leave you meddling in others business more than you should. At the same time, you should be aware of when you need to leave things (or people) alone so that they can develop naturally. Part of that might involve letting others learn from mistakes, or watching situations develop closely so you can pinpoint when flaws and breakdowns are likely to occur. If you run around micromanaging everything though, you won't learn when you can leave things be, and when you must step in.

Daily Tao

The one who uses the Tao to advise the ruler
Does not dominate the world with soldiers
Such methods tend to be returned

The place where the troops camp
Thistles and thorns grow
Following the great army
There must be an inauspicious year

A good commander achieves result, then stops
And does not dare to reach for domination
Achieves result but does not brag
Achieves result but does not flaunt
Achieves result but is not arrogant
Achieves result but only out of necessity
Achieves result but does not dominate

Things become strong and then get old
This is called contrary to the Tao
That which is contrary to the Tao soon ends
