Daily Horoscope for Cancer Summary

A lot of times as we go through life, there can be events that seem pretty rough and misfortunate to have to go through. For some of these events though, it's kind of like they're a blessing in disguise. We might not realize it in the moment, because we have a bias towards the present and don't know how things will play out. But ultimately, as things unfold a bit, you can look back and say "man, I dodged a bullet with that one".

The current energy can have some instances like that. The important thing is to not get too caught up in the moment where you're forcing judgments on things just based on what you know now. Particularly with a chart that's so focused on change and evolution like this one is, the more you expect, the more you're likely to be wrong (and often disappointed) as a result. The theme of "ride the wave" continues on today, but if you do run into a roadblock or things otherwise don't turn out your way, it might be for the best in the long run. See the long road and handle what you can - let everything out of your hands play out as it will. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Cancer

There can be more hesitation in how you approach people and things, largely because this is a time where you're not trying to get too tied up in anything. The trouble there is you don't want to cut yourself off from everything going on around you either. There's nothing wrong with sticking your toe in the pool to feel it out, so aim to at least reach out and see what's going on in a non-committal way. The more information you obtain, the better your decisions will be when the time comes to make them.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

Cease learning, no more worries
Respectful response and scornful response
How much is the difference?
Goodness and evil
How much do they differ?
What the people fear, I cannot be unafraid

So desolate! How limitless it is!
The people are excited
As if enjoying a great feast
As if climbing up to the terrace in spring
I alone am quiet and uninvolved
Like an infant not yet smiling
So weary, like having no place to return
The people all have surplus
While I alone seem lacking
I have the heart of a fool indeed – so ignorant!
Ordinary people are bright
I alone am muddled
Ordinary people are scrutinizing
I alone am obtuse
Such tranquility, like the ocean
Such high wind, as if without limits

The people all have goals
And I alone am stubborn and lowly
I alone am different from them
And value the nourishing mother
