Daily Horoscope for Libra Summary

We're into another Mercury retro cycle, though luckily this one doesn't last for too long. Often during Mercury retro we talk about miscommunications, but in that, there's more of the assumption that information might be off or people might be otherwise inaccurate with the things they're saying. All of that is very much still possible here. But the thing to watch out for during this cycle in particular is the failure to communicate.

Think of those times where someone's said something to you and you thought about your response, might have even visualized saying it, but then said nothing. The same applies to electronic communications - the texts you're not responding to, the emails you haven't returned (or where others haven't gotten back to you) - all of those are failures in communication. So you might need to be a bit more annoying than usual to keep communication lines effective and open. That kind of goes with the territory - don't feel bad about it if that's what it takes. Just keep in mind what happens if your messages aren't getting through, or if you're not getting back to other people yourself, and save yourself the trouble of dealing with the aftermath of those situations. Be direct and your presence felt and things will end up in a better place. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Libra

If you want people to follow along with what you're doing, you're going to have to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty. Trying to tell people what to do is likely to fall on deaf ears, but if you're actively participating in something, others will pay much more attention to what you have to say. At the same time, you can be somewhat stoic in front of others, but don't be afraid to show a little emotion here or there - this can open others up to seeing a more human side of you.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

When it is peaceful, it is easy to maintain
When it shows no signs, it is easy to plan
When it is fragile, it is easy to break
When it is small, it is easy to scatter
Act on it when it has not yet begun
Treat it when it is not yet chaotic
A tree thick enough to embrace
Grows from the tiny sapling
A tower of nine levels
Starts from the dirt heap
A journey of a thousand miles
Begins beneath the feet

The one who meddles will fail
The one who grasps will lose
Therefore, sages do not meddle and thus do not fail
They do not grasp and thus do not lose

People, in handling affairs
Often come close to completion and fail
If they are as careful in the end as the beginning
Then they would have no failure

Therefore, sages desire not to desire
They do not value goods that are hard to acquire
They learn to unlearn
To redeem the fault of the people
To assist the nature of all things
Without daring to meddle
