Today's Horoscope

All signs:

Today the stars want to thank you. They see the good things you do, they know how you sacrifice for loved ones or fight for what's right.

They are aware of the struggles and the opposition you face from misguided and unaware people. They see that many times you never get any acknowledgement for some of the herculean tasks you undertake. They know that sometimes you end up helping those that can't thank you, be it because they are in the throes of mental illness, or suffering from dementia, or just in a place of stress and anxiety and disarray.

That's often not anyone's fault. There are many other people who never learned to empathize or even be aware of what's going on in the lives of others. There are a lot of other people who are dealing with their own stuff and it just doesn't occur to them to lift their head up once in awhile and take stock of their friend's lives.

Fault or not, it sometimes makes you feel like no one cares, that you are alone and unappreciated as you grind your way through daily life.

You're not. There are people who care, a lot of them, and whether they don't notice or can't express it all the time, they care about you and want the best for you.

We live in tumultuous times, though. People have a lot on their plate, so if there is blame, some of it might fall on you for not telling anyone what you're dealing with. If you don't let anyone in, how can they know exactly what you're going through as you do what's right? The same goes for your victories. Share them with people. Noting or celebrating your accomplishments is not bragging, it is simply sharing your life with people that should be proud of you. No one can thank or congratulate you if they aren't aware that you did anything.

Regardless of all that, whether someone shakes your hand or sings your praises, be sure that you appreciate what you do yourself. Take pride in helping, in achieving, in doing whatever thing big or small that makes the world better. You deserve that.

The stars know you do, and they see it all, and they want to thank you and tell you that you're wonderful.
