Daily Horoscope for Taurus Summary

Relativity means a lot in the world given how we perceive things day-to-day. It's hard for people to judge things in isolation; they're always compared to given "states" that exist around us when we notice things. "Good" often means "better than it was" in this sense, and that applies to our current energy. There are some difficult aspects up there right now, but it's better than what we've had to deal with over the last couple weeks. So in this sense, the energy is "good". However, be prepared for more challenges ahead.

In particular, the energy today can make it harder to get mentally aligned with the things that are on the docket to get done. We can have strong opinions about things we're currently working on (or people we're currently working with), but those thoughts and feelings aren't going to get us any closer to the goal of solving problems. While you might have some valid viewpoints and principles, this can be a time where you have to let certain things go in order to make some issues go away. Look for the greater good in this sense - making a concession in order to remove a bigger problem is often going to be the way to go.

Ultimately, this energy can force us to accept that we can't always have everything our way and the sooner we come to that conclusion, the better off things will be. That doesn't mean fully capitulate to what's happening around you - you don't want others taking advantage of you. But you will have to think a bit harder about when standards have been set too high. You might be pushing for things that aren't really doable (and even if they are, they can be horribly unlikely and not worth the effort). In that sense, there are times to fight the good fight, and this isn't really one of them. The longer you become embroiled in a situation, the less you'll likely get for your time and effort. The best bet is to take what you can and move on to the next endeavor, which might be more fruitful. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Taurus

You can feel like you're in control of things today but you can lack a destination to head in. It's those feelings of restlessness that can drive bad decisions or inaction. So finding some kind of beneficial purpose, no matter how small, will help you immensely as you go about the day. You'll need to avoid being too short with others when you deal with them as well, especially when they're questioning you. Aim for civil responses as you try to figure things out - once you have a better grasp of things, you can be more authoritative about what needs to happen.

Daily Tao

The one who uses the Tao to advise the ruler
Does not dominate the world with soldiers
Such methods tend to be returned

The place where the troops camp
Thistles and thorns grow
Following the great army
There must be an inauspicious year

A good commander achieves result, then stops
And does not dare to reach for domination
Achieves result but does not brag
Achieves result but does not flaunt
Achieves result but is not arrogant
Achieves result but only out of necessity
Achieves result but does not dominate

Things become strong and then get old
This is called contrary to the Tao
That which is contrary to the Tao soon ends
