Daily Horoscope for Libra 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 Libra

Others might be a little harsher with the things they say to you today. Whether it's them being blunt or overly critical, some of it can be your interpretation of how they're saying, but some of it will also be legitimate as well. If others are calling you out on something, there's probably things you need to fix and fighting it won't change it. At the same time, you also don't want others talking down to you either, so stand up for yourself if you're in the right.

...Show some Love...

Today's Astrology Quote of the Day:
Failure or success seem to have been allotted to men by their stars...
But they retain the power of wriggling, of fighting with their star or against it, and in the whole universe the only really interesting movement is this wriggle...
~ E.M. Forster

Daily Tao

Those who are on tiptoes cannot stand
Those who straddle cannot walk
Those who flaunt themselves are not clear
Those who presume themselves are not distinguished
Those who praise themselves have no merit
Those who boast about themselves do not last

Those with the Tao call such things leftover food or tumors
They despise them
Thus, those who possesses the Tao do not engage in them
