Today’s Horoscope

All Signs:

The stars want to remind you that the world is big enough that there is more than plenty to go around.  We tend to get caught up in our competitive nature at times, where we like the fact that we have more than others, or that we think we are entitled to more because of social standing, race, or birthright.  That’s just ego and insecurity.

We also sometimes get it in our head that if someone else gets something, we are somehow going to get less.  That is seldom the case, and even if it is, so what?  Like the petty child that wants a toy just because another child has it at the moment, we can become envious and belligerent, greedy and selfish.

There is no reason for that behavior at all.  You shouldn’t define yourself by your possessions.  You shouldn’t have your self worth tied to how much someone else has over you.  You certainly shouldn’t hoard your good fortune and lord it over others that aren’t as fortunate.

Share your success if you can, help others achieve their own goals, and if you’re lucky enough to have plenty, help those who are in need.  People are intrinsically good, and when our ego and fear push us to be any other way, it creates conflict inside of us. Somewhere, deep inside, we always know how we are acting when we go against our better natures. We can never be truly happy that way, so in a sense you are punishing everyone. At a time when we should all be striving towards self purification and examining our actions, we often are at odds against others and ourselves, spiteful and ungracious.  

Billions of years ago, the stars sacrificed themselves and spread the building blocks of the universe throughout the cosmos.  They scattered everything they were so that we could be here, along with all the wonders our world possesses.  They did not do that so we could hoard treasure and hobble our fellow man.  

The stars can’t understand why, when they gave us so much more than we could ever want for, it still isn’t enough.  Maybe it’s because the problem isn’t that there’s not enough in the world, maybe we are missing something inside.

The stars implore us to find it, before it’s too late, because there is always another star set to scatter us to the cosmic wind again.
