Daily Horoscope for Sagittarius Summary

The Sun and Mercury roll through and connect with Uranus this week, which is going to fire up the revolution again. So you'll see a lot of discourse on sociopolitical issues, like police killing people, and maybe some in the political vein as well, where Bernie Sanders will probably have his last platform of relevance for a while. And we're Americans, and we talk about American stuff here, but Europe hasn't exactly been a beacon of stability lately either, so there might be more discourse over there about their issues as well.

I'm going to focus more on the Mercury elements, since the Sun's energy won't kick in until later on in the week, and the old man can talk about that if he so chooses.

For today, you're going to have people who want to fight the good fight, but go about it in the wrong ways. This is primarily going to be through verbal/written communication. People will have a tendency to belabor points to the point where you're like "Ok, I get it" and you start to tune them out. If people continue on, they even have the possibility to turn those who actually agree with them against them. Remember that when communicating, you are communicating a message, but the delivery matters too.

Brevity and being succinct are important here. Get your point out and move on. Additionally, if you are in a position where you are trying to be persuasive, you have to think in gradual degrees. Think of bringing home a new puppy. It comes in, and shits on your floor. You get mad. You want it to go outside. But you might set up an "indoor defecation area", so it gets used to going in one common space first, then you migrate the training to outside once it's comfortable with that.

Your conversations with others will work like that. It's too big of a jump to get someone who's got an opposing viewpoint (or might be reluctant to help you out) to just drop where they stand. You have to create a bridge first. Get them somewhere closer to your goal. Maybe compromise some in the process. Once they've come closer to you, you might get them to move even farther towards what you want out of them.

Much of it comes down to tempering expectations and not expecting things to happen all at once. Take the long view. Focus on steps in the right direction. When you have a realistic perspective of change, you view change more positively than when you don't. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Sagittarius

The respect of others is essential to you here, and if people aren't following along, you can get quite agitated. There's a very strong need to do things the right way. If you're taking shortcuts and resorting to less than ethical means to achieve your goals, it can have a negative impact on your reputation. Because this is a time where you build your reputation, you want to do as much as you can to ensure that this is done in a positive light.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

Know the masculine, hold to the feminine
Be the watercourse of the world
Being the watercourse of the world
The eternal virtue does not depart
Return to the state of the infant
Know the white, hold to the black
Be the standard of the world
Being the standard of the world
The eternal virtue does not deviate
Return to the state of the boundless
Know the honor, hold to the humility
Be the valley of the world
Being the valley of the world
The eternal virtue shall be sufficient
Return to the state of plain wood
Plain wood splits, then becomes tools
The sages utilize them
And then become leaders
Thus the greater whole is undivided
