Daily Horoscope for Leo Summary

The current chart is quite active, starting with Mercury retro (while opposing Neptune). This is going to distort a lot of the information you take in, as well as the assumptions you make. People are not going to be on the same page. You can go along and do something, and when you're counting on someone else, they might fall through. You can go back to them and say "You said you'd do this" and they'll reply "I never said that". Our levels of perception can suffer here as well, and we'll tend to interpret things in an odd manner. This includes a tendency to overestimate things that aren't important, while ignoring things that are.

We also have a Pluto-Venus-Jupiter T-square going on, which is going to make things in the career world a bit crazy. The things we want will tend to go against the best possible evolution for us. We can bypass growth in order to avoid short-term discomfort. Anything chaotic can also lead to problems in our personal relationships because people aren't going to know how to figure things out rationally. If you can separate yourself from situations and look at them from an unbiased viewpoint, you'll tend to see the lunacy in everything, but doing so is difficult, and while you're immersed, you have a tendency to look at things in a very close-minded way.

All of that can be kind of brutal, but we also have the Sun connecting with Saturn, which takes an edge off of everything. People will at least realize a need to work through things. People will also see the benefits of putting in a lot of effort, and for most, there will be some form of acknowledgement of things you can control versus things you can't. What you have the power to control, you'll want to handle with all of your energy. The things out of your hands, you aren't really going to gain anything by worrying so much about them.

Overall, the energy is asking us to look at things from multiple viewpoints, to take responsibility for the things on our plates, and to release everything else to go as it may. It's not an easy transit, but most of the difficult portions take place in the mind. If things get stressful, take a step back and make sure you aren't the one making them that way by the way you're interpreting them. There will be a lot of clouds with silver linings, but they're not that hard to find if you're looking for them. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Leo

This energy is tricky because there will be times where good fortune can fall into your lap and you aren't sure what to do with it. On the exterior, you can put a good face forward and take command of situations you find yourself in. Behind the scenes though, you'll tend to struggle more, harboring internal doubts about the decisions you make. The more you worry though, the more you'll need to see that most of these worries don't come to fruition. Finding a way to ignore the doubts is your key to success, as you'll have to initiate action if you want to see things happen.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

Everyone in the world calls my Tao great
As if it is beyond compare
It is only because of its greatness
That it seems beyond compare
If it can be compared
It would already be insignificant long ago!

I have three treasures
I hold on to them and protect them
The first is called compassion
The second is called conservation
The third is called not daring to be ahead in the world
Compassionate, thus able to have courage
Conserving, thus able to reach widely
Not daring to be ahead in the world
Thus able to assume leadership
Now if one has courage but discards compassion
Reaches widely but discards conservation
Goes ahead but discards being behind
Then death!
If one fights with compassion, then victory
With defense, then security
Heaven shall save them
And with compassion guard them
