Daily Horoscope for Gemini Summary

Astrology is all about planning. By concentrating on the energies at play (an antithetical Merc Retro, a disaffected Uranus, a heart stopping T-Square, or a resolute Saturn), we better understand how to use them in our daily lives. The magic behind a Mercury Retrograde is that it will grant you permission to not only make asinine mistakes, but also to correct them the second time around. How does Merc Retro do this? By pointing out what you really suck at. (Yeah, so if you have a fierce sense of pride, Merc Retro will be sure to topple that foundation. Plus, that trait wasn’t serving you well, anyway. There is a reason why Pride was chosen as one of the Seven Deadly Sins.)

Merc Retro gets a bad rap because people feel it suddenly puts their lives at a standstill. But if you have the ability to change perspective and view it from the (ad)vantage point of "start-over," then there is an almost surfeit amount of benefits to reap from a well-placed, well thought out Merc Retro.

Another simple monetary advantage you can gain from Merc Retro is the plethora of deals and opportunities that come along. I'm not too much of shopper. (In fact, I pretty much lead a spartan lifestyle.) Nevertheless, if you've been looking for that perfect piece of furniture to fill the empty corner of the family room, or perhaps you need to get school clothes for the kids --whatever it is, then you can be sure to find some fantastic deals during Merc Retro.

Usually, the deals are outrageous buys that won't make perfect sense in your life. It’s kind of like shopping at one of those wholesale chains of membership warehouses (CostCo. Sam's Club, BJ's, etc.) where for $2.99 you can get three gallons of lard. And of course, you ask yourself, “What am I going to do with three gallons of pig fat?” I don't have the answer to that. Just keep your eyes peeled because you’re bound to come across deals pretty much at any turn -- going out of business sales, eBay, or perhaps that all-too-common government-seized New Jersey mansion? The deal will usually find you, before you find the deal. The problem is you have to decide if you can afford to pass it up. Going once, going twice…

The Daily Horoscope for Gemini

Home life is likely to be sprightly and perhaps a little bit gossipy. Check your facts before you spout off at the mouth. Be careful that you don't damage something of value--your relationship with your family. You tend to have a way with words, but keep in mind Merc Retro is in full effect. Mind your manners!

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

Attain the ultimate emptiness
Hold on to the truest tranquility
The myriad things are all active
I therefore watch their return

Everything flourishes; each returns to its root
Returning to the root is called tranquility
Tranquility is called returning to one's nature
Returning to one's nature is called constancy
Knowing constancy is called clarity

Not knowing constancy, one recklessly causes trouble
Knowing constancy is acceptance
Acceptance is impartiality
Impartiality is sovereign
Sovereign is Heaven
Heaven is Tao
Tao is eternal
The self is no more, without danger
