Daily Horoscope for Taurus Summary

It always seems as though right before you have the ability to really cash in on an opportunity, the universe gives you the chance to bail. It's never overt in the way it does this though; there's always these little tests to your commitment to see if you're going to be willing to follow something major through as far as you can take it.

The current energy is one of those things that fall under that scope of thought. We have the Sun opposite of Jupiter, so you'll see people making some hardheaded decisions out of principle, and they end up shooting themselves in the foot as a result. In your mind, you should be thinking "let's just get to the next step". It's particularly when you're unable to let things go that you're going to run into trouble. Having a sense for when to get past a tough situation rather than "defeat" it is going to be the key. It's those that get so frustrated that they're looking to destroy their barriers that end up making the biggest mistakes. I believe it was Nietzsche who said something along the lines of "Be careful when you look into the abyss, for the abyss also looks back into you."

So overall, the goal is to try and keep things short and sweet. And if not sweet, at least short. Like a boxer, stick and move from one task to the next. If something irritates you, let it go and move on. And don't stick to things out of principle, because that will only get your caught in the muck today. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Taurus

You're going to have a sharp awareness of what other people are up to and this will allow you to work well in some capacity to limit their flaws. What you don't want to do though is make blanket assumptions about people, as this is where you'll get into trouble. You'll have a tendency to think "defense first" in these relationships, and you might preemptively do something that sets others off, when if you gave them an option to show their hand first, you might see it's something you can work with.

...Show some Love...

Today's Astrology Quote of the Day:
We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born...
Astrology does not lay claim to anything more...

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
