Daily Horoscope for Gemini Summary

Saturn is retro, which it will be until about Memorial Day weekend. Saturn retro isn't terribly crippling on its own; I always liken it to a room full of unsupervised, rambunctious kids. You might be able to do what you want without anyone to really yell at you, but that doesn't mean you're immune from causing trouble for yourself; if anything its tougher because you don't have the warning signs to prevent you from doing something stupid. Rules are often repressive but the overwhelming majority of them are there to protect us. Saturn retro takes the kid gloves off and says "Find your own way".

The real downer is that its going to keep Saturn locked into position with Pluto, which most people wouldn't describe as a "peachy" transit. Not much we can do about that though, save for dealing with it.

So how do you make the most of this current stretch. It starts with personal responsibility. You have to know your own limits. You have to know your own duties. Because Saturn's in Libra, much of this will deal with relationships. It means going home at 10:00 after the game to see the missus, instead of drinking some beers with the guys until 3:00 (which will be the far easier choice to make). Because in true Saturn retro fashion, she won't tell you that you messed up... but you messed up, and later on down the line, when you're not expecting it, you'll find out how bad you messed up. So more importantly than anything, uphold your relationship responsibilities.

Aside from that, you'll have to discover motivation internally (also difficult with Mars retro). It can be real easy to get lazy here. Get into the habit of injecting added challenge into the things you do, if only to keep you working hard. People that settle down to take a rest will find it tough to get going again. And lastly, it's going to be quite easy to change some personal routines here; make sure you're building strong routines and not falling into slack ones.

So there you go. It's all on you with energy like this. This is a time where you are the champion of your own destiny. If you want to do the things you need to be successful, you'll discover a boatload of tricks to make yourself better along the way. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Gemini

There's going to be a bit of disconnect initially between you and groups of friends you hang out with. You can start to see yourself outside of the group a bit, which in a way will give you a bit of perspective of what the group is actually like without your internalized bias influencing you. You might not like everything you see about these groups of friends. But at the same time, you can respond too strongly to these perspectives; in some cases you might feel driven to devalue or cast off certain relationships. That's going overboard. The thing about friendships is that you accept the faults of others, something you'll have to bring yourself to do.

...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

Heaven and Earth are everlasting
The reason Heaven and Earth can last forever
Is that they do not exist for themselves
Thus they can last forever

Therefore the sages:
Place themselves last but end up in front
Are outside of themselves and yet survive
Is it not due to their selflessness?
That is how they can achieve their own goals
