Daily Horoscope for Taurus Summary

This is going to be one of those days where pulling together the motivation to take care of the things you need to will be much harder. A lot of that stems from the fact that there's going to be other things you'd rather be doing. If you can come up with a rationale to put something off, it's easy to buy into that, though you're setting yourself up for some hectic moments in the aftermath, scrambling to get things done. Aggressively taking care of responsibilities earlier in the day can take a lot of the pressure off later on and it also allows you more time to actually enjoy the things you want to do, as there won't be that cloud hanging over you from the to-do list.

On the relationship end, you and others can have conflicting goals at times, which often can lead to criticism and struggles in getting on to the same page. Here it'll be easier if you can find others with closer alignment to what you're trying to accomplish for yourself. In some instances, you're going to want to "agree to disagree" with certain people, table the discussion, and don't do anything to strain relationships beyond that. There will be better times down the line to try to discuss these things with others and try to reach consensus, so don't feel compelled to force any issues with others today. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Taurus

It might seem as there's more obstacles to run through today, making things that normally might be enjoyable to do less so. This can also lead you to delaying things that might be annoying to take care of as well, looking to kick the can down the road as much as you can. The longer things linger on your agenda though, the more of a mental burden they're going to take on, so you're better off trying to battle through them. Don't worry so much about what you might be missing in the present - think about what you're going to be able to take on in the future.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

Favor and disgrace make one fearful
The greatest misfortune is the self
What does "favor and disgrace make one fearful" mean?
Favor is high; disgrace is low
Having it makes one fearful
Losing it makes one fearful
This is "favor and disgrace make one fearful"

What does "the greatest misfortune is the self" mean?
The reason I have great misfortune
Is that I have the self
If I have no self
What misfortune do I have?

So one who values the self as the world
Can be given the world
One who loves the self as the world
Can be entrusted with the world
