Daily Horoscope for Gemini Summary

The tides of time ebb and flow and we push onward. Today’s energy it’s going to seem positive in the light of recent events going on in each of our lives. Within a lot of people, there’s some form of inner tumult, some place they’d rather be, things they want to see happen. This manifests more often than not in the political thoughts and beliefs department, but can extend to other areas. You look at the people fed up with any number of the current outrages out there (and there seem to be many these days). The intentions might be good and noble, but people get so caught up in “This needs to happen through any means possible,” that the means might completely annihilate any progress you would’ve stood to make in the first place. These are the tides.

The positive thing about today’s energy though is it forces people to look at what they’re doing in a sense of how it might affect others (something that’s mindnumbingly uncommon on the internet these days). Because as much as people might want to be right, and “progressive”, self-held beliefs don’t always carry the same weight when you have to look at things from someone else’s shoes. The things you’re adamant about when you’re posting memes on Facebook don’t seem as ironclad when you walk a path through how it’s affected someone else’s life. We’re in an age where people crave self-validation. We celebrate political victories like we celebrate our sports teams winning. No one likes the feeling of messing something up, being proven wrong, seeing setbacks in something they hold true to their core. But this world will always reward those who fail, who struggle, who are willing to admit they were wrong, as long as they learn and grow from their experiences.

As you go through your day, through a desire to maintain harmony within your relationships with others, you might discover some places where your beliefs have been taken to extremes, some spots where your arguments just don’t apply to someone in a different situation. You might have to accept blame for something you did poorly, or something you were wrong about. And in the end, you will be a better person for it. Sometimes it’s the tides that push us backwards that give us a broader viewpoint and let us refocus on where we’re really trying to get to. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Gemini

You’re going to love to talk to people today, but it’s equally important to what they have to say in return. You can make some pretty good progress here when you work together with others towards a common goal. It’s going to be the willingness to keep communication lines open that will be your biggest strength here – you can get over any apprehension about saying something you aren’t comfortable with if it’s important to your overall success.

...Show some Love...

Astrological prayers seem to me to be built on as good reason as the predictions...

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
