Daily Horoscope for Cancer Summary

There can be some shifts in the things we wish to pursue today, which can be a bit confusing to deal with. In a way, our attention spans can be fractured. Instead of diving into something we've invested a good bit of time into, something new and shinier can come along, which will usually tend to drag us back towards where we are and further from where we were heading. Changes of mind are fine (and often welcome when a lot of thought's been put into it), but today these things can seem more sporadic. Additionally, with splintered goals and direction, we may only make minimal progress in a few areas, rather than a bigger stride in one particular one.

The level of emotional distress caused by "being torn" can be higher today as well. The road not traveled is way more likely to bother us. That can drive many to indecision and inaction. Still, doing nothing gets you nowhere. This aspect of the energy will pass soon enough though. A good idea is to plod onward with something without worrying about what may come along or what you might be missing out on. In a day or two, you'll be able to look back and see what you've done and assess it with a more rational outlook. At that point, you will be able to make a stronger decision about which directions seem most fruitful. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Cancer

Getting amped up to do things will take more effort today and part of that will be because you have to talk yourself into ways where things will turn out successfully for you. There can be a looming anxiety you'll have to get past to be at your best. Some of this can stem from putting too much importance or weight into the things you've invested time into. That fear of loss can prevent you from taking the shots needed to succeed. You can't let that hold you back - you don't have to rush into things, but you should find ways to at least ensure you take chances in the first place.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

Do not glorify the achievers
So the people will not squabble
Do not treasure goods that are hard to obtain
So the people will not become thieves
Do not show the desired things
So their hearts will not be confused

Thus the governance of the sage:
Empties their hearts
Fills their bellies
Weakens their ambitions
Strengthens their bones

Let the people have no cunning and no greed
So those who scheme will not dare to meddle

Act without contrivance
And nothing will be beyond control
