Daily Horoscope for Cancer Summary

Today We Start our Lives Anew..!!

So today's chart doesn't have the "Summertime Blues" vibe that the weekly chart has... So the idea like always is to make the most of what we have to work with today... hehe... We have a Libra Moon today, so there will be a lot of emphasis on what is being said and done... It can be great for any social activities... The idea is to find a 'common ground' point to begin, and then let nature take it's course... Ultimately though, the idea is about finding the common ground areas so we may build upon them.

At the same time... With the Sun in Leo, this is when people want to be recognized for their actions and efforts too... When many are lookin' to find "Their Place in the Sunshine"... So, stepping back to allow others to shine... (especially to those that usually prefer to remain hidden in the background)... When doing that, you will be appreciated and you will not be forgotten... That's the Libra Moon in action today.

We also have Mars that has moved into the sign of Cancer and that is where the focus on quality is essential... This signals that it will be the "Foundation Areas" (friends, home and family) that great progress will be made... It usually is direct personal communication that gets the ball rolling... Communication is the key... Bees dance... Crows talk... Today is about returning to personal interactions!!

That's it for now...
Thanks for stoppin' by..!!
I'll talk to you guys later...

Keep the Faith...
Better Days and Higher Love are comin' soon...

The Daily Horoscope for Cancer

The Daily Horoscope for Cancer continues to show increased prosperity, but the retrogrades can blind you to what is goin' on behind the scenes that will bring you the increased prosperity you can feel comin' your way... Saturn and Neptune near your Mid-Heaven signal status elevations, but being retrograde some delays are slowing the progress... It gives you time to finish tasks and projects, and to step back and re-evaluate your current conditions!!

...Show some Love...

Today's Astrology Quote of the Day:
The soul of the newly born baby is marked for life by the pattern of the stars at the moment it comes into the world, unconsciously remembers it, and remains sensitive to the return of configurations of a similar kind...

Daily Tao

Those that attained oneness since ancient times:
The sky attained oneness and thus clarity
The earth attained oneness and thus tranquility
The gods attained oneness and thus divinity
The valley attained oneness and thus abundance
The myriad things attained oneness and thus life
The rulers attained oneness and became the standard for the world
These all emerged from oneness

The sky, lacking clarity, would break apart
The earth, lacking tranquility, would erupt
The gods, lacking divinity, would vanish
The valley, lacking abundance, would wither
Myriad things, lacking life, would be extinct
The rulers, lacking standard, would be toppled

Therefore, the honored uses the lowly as basis
The higher uses the lower as foundation
Thus the rulers call themselves alone, bereft, and unworthy
Is this not using the lowly as basis? Is it not so?
Therefore, the ultimate honor is no honor

Do not wish to be shiny like jade
Be dull like rocks
