Daily Horoscope for Capricorn Summary

Relativity means a lot in the world given how we perceive things day-to-day. It's hard for people to judge things in isolation; they're always compared to given "states" that exist around us when we notice things. "Good" often means "better than it was" in this sense, and that applies to our current energy. There are some difficult aspects up there right now, but it's better than what we've had to deal with over the last couple weeks. So in this sense, the energy is "good". However, be prepared for more challenges ahead.

In particular, the energy today can make it harder to get mentally aligned with the things that are on the docket to get done. We can have strong opinions about things we're currently working on (or people we're currently working with), but those thoughts and feelings aren't going to get us any closer to the goal of solving problems. While you might have some valid viewpoints and principles, this can be a time where you have to let certain things go in order to make some issues go away. Look for the greater good in this sense - making a concession in order to remove a bigger problem is often going to be the way to go.

Ultimately, this energy can force us to accept that we can't always have everything our way and the sooner we come to that conclusion, the better off things will be. That doesn't mean fully capitulate to what's happening around you - you don't want others taking advantage of you. But you will have to think a bit harder about when standards have been set too high. You might be pushing for things that aren't really doable (and even if they are, they can be horribly unlikely and not worth the effort). In that sense, there are times to fight the good fight, and this isn't really one of them. The longer you become embroiled in a situation, the less you'll likely get for your time and effort. The best bet is to take what you can and move on to the next endeavor, which might be more fruitful. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Capricorn

The big thing here is getting conversations started today. You might not hear what you want to hear right now, but people can change their tune in the next few days on certain things and if you check back later, you might get a different answer. For now, it's more about expressing your desires and what you're ultimately aiming to accomplish and talking to others about it can serve a second purpose of reinforcing it in your own mind. That can cause you to commit to what you're currently working on, allowing for greater depth and investment into it.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

Good traveling does not leave tracks
Good speech does not seek faults
Good reckoning does not use counters
Good closure needs no bar and yet cannot be opened
Good knot needs no rope and yet cannot be untied

Therefore sages often save others
And so do not abandon anyone
They often save things
And so do not abandon anything
This is called following enlightenment

Therefore the good person is the teacher of the bad person
The bad person is the resource of the good person
Those who do not value their teachers
And do not love their resources
Although intelligent, they are greatly confused
This is called the essential wonder
