Daily Horoscope for Leo Summary

Now, I'm not the world's smartest man. However, I do know that if you want someone to hurry things up, angrily screaming "Do it faster!" into their ear isn't helping. Getting angry at someone is never the missing element to success. There's no one reflecting out there when things are done poorly and saying to themselves, "if only I yelled more and wildly gesticulated, this would have gone way better".

Today, there's probably going to be people out there in the wilds doing this though. Frustration, impatience and some sense of urgency can take hold within us and that can push us towards doing things that are irrational. Don't be the guy at McDonald's throwing a hissy fit because your order took 4 minutes to come out instead of 3 1/2 minutes. Most of this stuff just isn't that important.

What is important is to remember the impact escalation has on the world around us. We're emotional creatures, and things that happen in the morning linger on until later in the day if we continue to think about them. The decisions we make are often not based in the moment, but in that moment combined with the lead up to that moment. It's usually a good idea to limit emotional impact in the decision making process, but it's real hard to complete negate those things. Mood matters. Today, it will matter more, so if others around you are being Negative Nancies or Angry Arnolds, it's going to make it harder to do the things you need to. Likewise, if you're being that person, you aren't helping; you're making others' lives more difficult (which tends to come around and make yours more of a pain as well). So don't do that. Strive for deescalation - the calmer things are, the better they will go. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Leo

The energy can push you towards making sacrifices here, though they're probably not worth it if you're looking at things from an outside perspective. You can cling to hardship right now (and be a bit of a drama queen about it too), but how much of that is you propelling in that direction? With the current chart, pretty high. With that in mind, you're better off doing the best you can with the situations in front of you, which might actually turn our successful, if not uneventful. That might be boring, but it beats unnecessary stress and anguish.

...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

Small country, few people
Let them have many weapons but not use them
Let the people regard death seriously
And not migrate far away

Although they have boats and chariots
They have no need to take them
Although they have armors and weapons
They have no need to display them

Let the people return to tying knots and using them
Savor their food, admire their clothes
Content in their homes, happy in their customs

Neighboring countries see one another
Hear the sounds of roosters and dogs from one another
The people, until they grow old and die
Do not go back and forth with one another
