Today's Horoscope

All signs:
The stars want you to know that you'll never know what you'll want from life if you don't know what life has to offer. Too often we stop looking for new ideas and experiences once we become “responsible” adults. Work, relationships, kids, all kinds of things get in the way of our wild tangents and wanderlust.
That's a shame, because there's always time to explore new things and put yourself in the middle of new situations. Life is a journey, whether or not you're taking advantage of that fact. There is a part of us that craves a comfortable, easily recognizable safe place, a quiet place where everything makes sense and you know where you have a roof over your head and where your next meal is coming from. That's something we are taught to strive for.
Often though, when we arrive at that place we are left feeling incomplete, like we are missing out on something we can't even name. We feel like there must be more out there, and there is. There is always more out there.
So the stars tell you to never stop exploring. Never stop trying new things. Even things within your own life, like your career, your hobbies, your relationships, your home town. You don't need to travel to the ends of the earth to obtain enlightenment.
You might have gone to school and gotten a degree, but most every career path offers a multitude of different branches and ways to grow and change and challenge yourself.
Maybe you have very strong opinions on a multitude of subjects, but those opinions only carry so much weight if you simply stop at a place and make your mind up without exploring more of the alternatives. Your opinions should sometimes morph and change with new information or a new perspective, and if that hasn't happened lately, you might be mired in complacency.
Maybe you hate the gym, but exercise comes in all forms. You might discover that hiking brings you to a place that offers peace along with the workout. Maybe running sparks some competitive streak in you that racing against others or just yourself brings you a feeling of accomplishment that war missing. Maybe swimming puts you in touch with your aquatic origins from the dim and distant past and brings you solace with muscle toning.
Perhaps you will take up a music instrument, or pick up a paintbrush or a lump of clay, or just start typing and find a voice you didn't know existed. You won't know if you have a talent if you don't give it an outlet.
The point is, you won't know what you want and what makes you truly happy without experiencing as much as you can, and finding out what all your options are in the first place.
The stars also want you to keep in mind that there is no guarantee that the experience is not going to be bad, but even then you can glean something from it. That's the risk, but most of the time it's nothing earth shattering, and you'll recover quickly.  Just as important as finding the things that fulfill us is figuring out the things that don't.
Whatever the outcome, just do it and learn more about what the world has to offer. It will be good for you, and good for the people around you.

The stars wish you luck on your journey.
