Daily Horoscope for Libra Summary

This seems to be an eventful retro cycle already and there can be this feeling inside that many of the things occurring in the present set the stage for something greater in development behind the scenes. There might be some positive developments in the works, but the trouble is that it can be hard to see that in the present. We tend to be more emotional in the day-to-day (and certainly can be today), which often leads us to make more of things than there should be. At the same time, maybe many of the struggles we face now are more indicative of our unhappiness with certain states than we want to say openly. Most things see the light eventually, including the things we grumble about to ourselves or closest companions.

Today's energy can build a discontented view of where we are relative to the things we want. Absence carries a lot of weight and we can dwell upon it here. This can lead to things being said and done that express a lack of appreciation for what we already have. If you can remain humble and patient, this energy isn't so bad. It's when you have this internal "need" for things, particularly those that aren't really necessary, that you tend to have the most problems. Keep plugging away and worry not about what's available in the here and now. This is a weather the storm kind of chart, but it'll pass and what you maintain now will be a boon when it's time to forge ahead once more. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Libra

Plodding through projects can keep you going, but you might start to tire of anything too repetitive. That can be your primary struggle today, finding something that seems appealing to do. The things you want to do might be things that are too hard to dive into though, at least without a great scale of improving the skills you need to do them. Pick a direction and stick with it. You might not get too much fulfillment out of today's goals, but the hope is they open up more possibilities for you tomorrow.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

Cease learning, no more worries
Respectful response and scornful response
How much is the difference?
Goodness and evil
How much do they differ?
What the people fear, I cannot be unafraid

So desolate! How limitless it is!
The people are excited
As if enjoying a great feast
As if climbing up to the terrace in spring
I alone am quiet and uninvolved
Like an infant not yet smiling
So weary, like having no place to return
The people all have surplus
While I alone seem lacking
I have the heart of a fool indeed – so ignorant!
Ordinary people are bright
I alone am muddled
Ordinary people are scrutinizing
I alone am obtuse
Such tranquility, like the ocean
Such high wind, as if without limits

The people all have goals
And I alone am stubborn and lowly
I alone am different from them
And value the nourishing mother
