Today’s Horoscope

All Signs:

The stars want to remind you that you are you.  That might seem like a nonsense sentence, but it’s not.  

You are the same you that got this far in life.  You may have made some bad decisions along the way, you might have a few regrets, but all in all you’re doing a lot better than you think.  You have done a lot more right than you have wrong in your lifetime. You have overcome so much, and not just the things other people know about.  

We all have a place inside where we keep some things that we think no one can see, that no one will understand, and that’s normal. We need time to process grief and trauma.  Plenty of things have gone into that place and we did the work and triumphed over something horrible that no one may ever know.  We have strength and courage that we aren’t even aware of sometimes.

Be careful, though. Unfortunately when you keep things down in the dark they tend to fester and multiply.  Don’t keep them down there forever, unchecked.  Deal with them before they infect all your decisions.  Don’t let that become who you are.

There is another place inside that we never notice until we need it.  This is your core, this is where all the amazing things that make you formidable reside.  Everything you are, all that you’re capable of, comes from here.  It is what all the small and huge experiences in your life have been boiled down to.  Good or bad, these experiences make up you.  It is your character, your strength, the you that takes over and gives you that herculean effort to get through things you never thought you could.

You have done all this, and you are still growing, still capable of kindness, and there are people that love you fiercely, whether you choose to see it or not.  That is an accomplishment, and like so many other things, it was you that accomplished it.  

So the you that you take for granted has done some amazing things, and is there to do so much more.  Have faith in you.  Be proud of you.  Take credit for you. Be in awe of you.  Recognize who you really are, and if there are some things you feel uneasy about, change those things.  There is always time enough, and if anyone can do it, it’s you.

You are you.
