Daily Horoscope for Gemini Summary

When things get rough, the energy can give us a little nudge to let us know it's around. I realized that a bit with the Mercury retro chaos which slowed down a couple of projects I was working on, in addition to messing with my e-mail all day. Madness. But, as the old man alluded to yesterday, much of the reason for the issues laid at my feet. You'll notice the same thing in your own life. You might want to cast blame for things, and others can certainly bungle their ends of bargains, but there is probably something you could have done in order to make things run more smoothly.

This is going to be a constant for the next three to four weeks though, so adapt and move on. Be smarter about your decisions. Factor in back up plans. Stay in constant touch with people around you. Preparedness helps keep you out of trouble and it usually only requires a minimal extra effort.

On the flip side, Mars connects with Neptune and Jupiter and Venus also connect today, which is going to keep people off-balance for the most part. The Mars-Neptune energy builds up our hopes. The Venus-Jupiter energy makes it hard for things we want most (usually money or romance related) to come to fruition. There's an up and down that occurs, starting within the mind and extending to the physical plane, where the actions you encounter don't match up with the way you had them mapped out in your head. So be pretty careful here. You can brim with motivation and it's an excellent time to start something new with structural or protective benefits. At the same time, don't put so much stock in your wants; time will show that if you don't get what you were looking for here, chances are it wasn't quite what you expected it to be anyway. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Gemini

Certain things you previously could count on are prone to going haywire. If you've got something that needed to be updated, or routine maintenance should be done on (like you car or housing issues), this is the time to make sure everything is alright. Chances are high that if something does break, you'll have thought about tending to it earlier. A little care is all that is needed to really get through this energy, so do the best you can to make sure you're protecting that which belongs to you.

...Show some Love...

Today's Astrology Quote of the Day:
Failure or success seem to have been allotted to men by their stars...
But they retain the power of wriggling, of fighting with their star or against it, and in the whole universe the only really interesting movement is this wriggle...
~ E.M. Forster

Daily Tao

The one who uses the Tao to advise the ruler
Does not dominate the world with soldiers
Such methods tend to be returned

The place where the troops camp
Thistles and thorns grow
Following the great army
There must be an inauspicious year

A good commander achieves result, then stops
And does not dare to reach for domination
Achieves result but does not brag
Achieves result but does not flaunt
Achieves result but is not arrogant
Achieves result but only out of necessity
Achieves result but does not dominate

Things become strong and then get old
This is called contrary to the Tao
That which is contrary to the Tao soon ends
