Today’s Horoscope
All Signs:
The stars want you to know that they look down on the earth and see everyone and everything. The problems you have are usually dwarfed by many of the things they see. They don’t tell you this to try to shame you or invalidate your problems, your pain and struggle is valid. You have every right to bemoan your circumstance and the whims of cruel fate from time to time.
They tell you this simply because most of the time the solution to our problems is not an easy one or a quick fix. This means we have a lot of free time in between the steps we take to solve the problems in our lives. Often we spend that free time worrying about our problems needlessly, and being frustrated and impatient.
You don’t need to be a star in the heavens to find other people with problems of their own. They are in your life, in your hometown. You pass them on the street everyday, you see them on the news. You probably see impassioned pleas from people everyday trying to get people to help other people, or animals, or your community.
Instead of spending your free time worrying, donate a bit of it to helping to solve other people’s problems if you can. That can mean volunteering, donating goods or money, fostering or feeding rescue pets, manning phone lines, or even just picking up trash on your daily walk. Everything you do that helps means you’re not hurting the world.
It will also make the time go faster in between the steps you are taking to solve your own problems, and perhaps you will get some help back in those areas from the people you are helping. If nothing else, you will be doing something positive, and although the stars don’t believe in some cosmic positive energy storage tank that influences the universe, positive actions and thoughts lead to more positive thinking and action in your own life, and sometimes in those around you.
You can make the world a better place, or you can make the world more difficult for you and the next person, that choice is yours. But if you choose to spend your time fixating on your problems in a nonproductive, negative funk while ignoring the rest of the world, the stars have a hard time feeling bad for you.
No matter how you try to spin it, in the end you often get out of this life what you put into it.
