Daily Horoscope for Libra 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 Libra

Matching what others feel to be important can be a challenge here - the things you care most about might not be what others put too much stock in. You can tend to get a bit bent out of shape in these situations, which won't help you in your interactions with others. You want to be careful that you aren't hastily closing the doors on viable options out of frustration. Remember that others can retract their willingness to help just as easily as they can offer it. You might have to come to agreements that satisfy both parties in these scenarios; be willing to negotiate and more will be on the table.

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
