The Waking
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I cannot go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Of those so close beside me, which are you?
God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there,
And learn by going where I have to go.
Light takes the Tree, but who can tell us how?
The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair;
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Great Nature has another thing to do
To you and me; so take the lively air,
And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.
--Theodore Roethke

Work
I was planning to work wonders and create miracles in my house today ... until I read my horoscope. Well, it's a sign, for sure! Now, where was that book I've been reading?
Libra
You know that old saying about haste making waste? Remember it now, especially if you're tempted to rush into something just to feel like you're making progress. You could actually cause yourself delays and setbacks by jumping into something without thinking it through, especially when it comes to work or home improvements. These kinds of matters need your full attention. A happy ending may take longer than you would like, but be patient.
