Today's Horoscope
All signs:
The stars weep when they see the tragedy and pain you've endured. They realize that the heartbreaking or abusive events in your lifetime have shaped you into the person you are. They know how bad parenting or evil deeds and suffering at the hands of others can scar you and influence your choices. They know how hard it is sometimes to overcome all the problems and feelings these things leave you with, the horrors you replay in your head.
Yet in the end, right now, how you go forward is still your choice.

Today's Horoscope
All signs:
Some people think it's noble to be alone. They think it's a badge of honor to refuse help or to need someone. Some think that there's some sort of nobility in being serious and cynical and to wash their hands of love. Some of them think that they are above it all by being a martyr for every little thing.
They think that there is some strange honor to be had by sacrificing their own needs and their own happiness for people who could care less about them. They think that there is some virtue in misery.
This is all fear and Insecurity again. They are afraid to try, afraid to get hurt, afraid to not be in control. They fear letting others down, so they let themselves down. They waste their lives away and tell themselves that they are answering some higher calling, or somehow above it all.
The stars think you should rethink that attitude, and make the most out of what time you have in this world. No one cares about your needless sacrifice, no one cares about your self inflicted misery, no one thinks you're laden with integrity and gravitas.
They think it's exhausting and sad, and it is. So get over yourself and start living, whether it frightens you or not.

Today's Horoscope It's Tuesday But It Kind Of Feels like Monday Bonus
All signs:
The stars know how hard it is to get motivated sometimes. They know that once you're situated, you can come up with a million excuses not to get back up and do the things that need doing.
They want you to know that you don't have to move a mountain. Just doing some little thing can get you a sense of accomplishment. Any little positive thing. Taking out the trash, clearing off the counter, paying your bills.
Once you get moving, sometimes you keep moving, and you feel just a little bit better about yourself. Then you want to keep feeling better.
The stars know that sometimes you just sit right back down again. That's okay, there's always tomorrow. After all, it's only Monday.
Oops, Tuesday.
That's why you have to be careful not to sit too long. The days have a way of slipping by.

Today's Horoscope
All signs:
The stars want to remind you that how people treat you is not always indicative of who you are. Sometimes loving someone only brings you scorn and resentment. Sometimes caring makes people see the things in them that they hate. Sometimes you can do everything right, and it still won't be enough, but that's not your fault.
Some people are broken. Some have some quirks and issues that get in the way of their happiness, and yours. Some are so shattered that they might never be whole again.
Whatever the reason, they will punish you and be unreasonable, and occasionally they will tear you apart. That doesn't mean you deserve it. They are punishing you because of something someone did to them, probably long before you came along.
Don't let their self loathing and insecurities make you be like them. Misery has a way of multiplying. Hold on to your compassion and your ability to love, even if you want to lash out, or give up and sink into despair.
How they treat you is not what you deserve. Don't let it make you see yourself as anything less, don't blame yourself for their baggage, and don't let them make you hate them, because that's what they are trying to do. They want to prove to you that they are as horrible as they think they are. Don't join in.
Stay true to who you are, and keep your heart pure. Somewhere there's someone who deserves that heart. Bring it to them intact.

All signs:
You give love, you get love. That's true, but the stars want you to realize that love owes you nothing. Love isn't always magical, love isn't always perfect. Love doesn't mean control, love isn't always safe. Love does not play by any set of rules.
Love has a million different meanings to billions of people, and no two are exactly the same.
So yeah, if you give love, you will get love, but sometimes it might destroy you as easily as fulfill your dreams. But at least you'll be getting love. You give hate and you're only getting hatred back, and there's no chance of winning in that instance. You might think love is a suckers bet, but it's really the only bet you have that might get you anything back that's worthwhile.
If you're going to gamble, always bet on love.

All signs:
Humility is great, but the stars recommend that you don't let it become a tool for others to control you. We are taught to be humble, but predators, and even well meaning people, will use it to make you feel inferior and weak. They will try to make you doubt yourself, and guilt or shame you into doing what they want you to.
So be humble, but be proud and sure of the things you are being humble about. Humility isn't about shame, it's about knowing who you are and being aware of what you have, but not having the need to throw it in people's faces. You should celebrate the things you are humble about, not be ashamed of them, and anyone who tries to make you feel that way does not have your best interests at heart. The very fact that you are being humble means you must be pretty awesome at something. Don't let others, or yourself, ever make hit think it's a bad thing.

All signs:
Just because you are considerate and thoughtful to someone, that's no guarantee that they will be the same way with you.
Just because you are kind and selfless, and attentive and caring, doesn't mean the people you treat that way will reciprocate.
Just because you are loyal and faithful and love them more than anything, there's no assurance that they will do the same for you.
People are complex, and they all have varying degrees of empathy, responsibility, and self awareness. Some people go through life in their own little selfish bubble, not really thinking of others that much. Fear, bad parenting, and varying degrees of sociopathic tendencies may have left them with different ideas of what being the other half of a friendship or relationship mean.
The point the stars are trying to make is that at some point in life you need to realize that treating someone special is not going to necessarily make them treat you special in return. People are gonna be people. You need to figure out just how much reciprocating you need to be happy and feel loved, and if you're not getting that, move on. Otherwise you will just spend years in quiet resentment, waiting for something that will never come. If you don't, it might change you into someone who closes themselves off too. Don't let that happen. It you're capable of loving and caring like that, don't let the rest of the world grind you down. Find others that are capable of it also, and live in that world instead.

Today’s Horoscope
All Signs:
Today the stars have no advice for you. They are just enjoying their view and looking at all the beauty in the universe and appreciating it. They are letting the small stuff slide for a while, it will still be there when they get back to it. They can’t spend all their time dwelling on the problems of the universe, that’s no way to waste your life, even if they do live billions of years. They are concentrating on the good things, and they are always happily surprised at how much good stuff there really is if you take the time to look.
The stars actually do have advice for you; they think you should do the same. Learn to relax and to take time to see all the good, so maybe it will be easier next time when you’re dealing with the bad.

Today’s Horoscope
All Signs:
The star that matters most to you, the sun, is in the sky once again, as it has been your whole life without fail. If yesterday wasn’t your day, so what? You get a brand new one every 24 hours to try again.
Take a moment to look at yesterday. What went right and what went wrong? What were you in control of? You might have used that control to make a situation better, or you might have made it worse. If you made it better, good for you! Keep doing things like that. If you made it worse? Good for you, also! Now you know what not to do the next time. Everything in your life, good or bad, is a learning experience. The only times we truly fail is when we refuse to learn, or acknowledge that we can do better.
What went right and what went wrong that was out of your control? If something went right, perhaps it was because you put yourself in the right situation to have good luck. Or maybe someone in your life is watching out for you. Keep doing those things that put you in a fortuitous place in life, and hang on to the people who make your life better. What about the bad luck? Well, make sure you did everything in your power to set yourself up for success. Make sure you are filling your life with people who care about you.
And if it still goes wrong? Well, that happens sometimes, but you can still take something away from it. Instead of lamenting your bad luck, lick your wounds and remind yourself that you have survived everything else so far, and you are a warrior in your own right. Every single person on this planet has had their life marked with bad luck and misery at times, and yours is no different. Recognize your strength and achievements, and let that knowledge get you through the next crisis.
The stars recommend that you appreciate the fact that a new day always dawns, because at some point we will not be around to see it. Then all your worry about good or bad luck will be for naught, and you would have been happy to have even some of your worst days back if it meant one more time to see the sun rise.

Today's Horoscope
All signs:
The stars want to warn you that a lot of the things you think are important is just noise and red herrings, and we spend a large part of our lives simply chasing our tails. Sometimes we do it because we have been trained to do it, sometimes we're fooled, sometimes we do it because it's a diversion so we don't have to deal with the truth, and sometimes we do it because we just don't know any better.
But we do it, and we'll continue to do it, and one day we'll look back and realize what a huge waste of time and energy it was. The tricky thing is, chances are you won't realize it until you've wasted enough time doing it, and that's when you need to decide: are you going to find the strength and hope to take care of the important things, or are you going to throw up your hands and give up?
The stars understand how it can all grind you down. They know it can make you feel foolish and ashamed and bone tired. They know that it seems like too much to seemingly start over with a whole new set of rules.
But if you're lucky, you'll have enough left in the tank to put your hard earned wisdom in motion, and you'll find it's so much better living life on your own terms.

It's all well and good to have a tribe, to be with people you who think like you and like all of the same things as you. If you are part of a tribe, though, you might find that the rest of the tribe doesn't like it when you feel differently about something. You are expected to get in line with the tribes way of thinking. To get along, go along.
That's why the stars think you should eschew tribes in favor of communities. Communities welcome diversity. They are open to change and new ideas. They are accepting and willing to listen.
Part of a successful life is figuring out who you are and what you like, and part of that is continually looking for new things you might be interested in. Your views and interests should change as you grow, and you can't grow if you can't change.
If you find you have a lot of people in your life that don't want you to change, or think for yourself, then get away from those people and find new ones who like you for who your are, not what you agree with them on.
Find a community, who are excited to know you, and hear about all the crazy and wonderful things you care about. Don't find a tribe where you fit in and stagnate, find a community that fits you, no matter who you are, and flourish.

All signs:
You're never going to get what you deserve unless you demand it, but the stars want you to realize that you're probably not going to get it anyway. Still, you won't have to put up with being treated poorly, so you should demand it anyway.
On the other hand, sometimes you get exactly what you deserve, but what you deserve is much different from what you think you're owed. You might sit and wonder why your life is a mess, and not realize your own role in that.
Basically, the stars think you should know yourself and have realistic expectations, and live accordingly, and some days you'll be amazed at all you get out of life. Respect for yourself and others is a good start.

Today's Horoscope
All signs:
The stars realize how important self analysis is. They know life is full of obstacles and burdens to overcome. They get how everyday can bring you aggravation, torment, and misery, especially if you go looking for it.
But they also know that you have to offset all that with some joy now and then. So as soon as you can, maybe today, maybe right now, give yourself a break and go find some joy. It's all around you if you look, and more importantly, it's all inside you.
Throughout history, even people in the most dire situations have found it within themselves to be joyous. So take a day off from all your troubles and soul searching and hit the reset button. Spring cleaning doesn't just apply to your closet, it applies to your psyche and your soul.
The stars hope you have a frivolous and goofy day, and if you can't seem to have one of those every now and then, figure out why that is. Get a friend to help you, if you have to. Frivolous is always better with friends anyway. Now get the hell out of here and have some fun.

5/13/18 Mother's Day
Today's Horoscope
All signs:
Today is Mother's Day, and the stars want you to thank your mother. Being a mother is sometimes a thankless job, and if you have a mother who was even a little bit good at it, you'll never be able to repay her. Of course, a good mother should never really make you feel like you need to repay her. As you get older, you will come to realize that, most likely, no one will ever love you like your mother does.
At least that's true of boys. Moms and daughters usually have much more complicated relationships. They become strained at times, and there can be long periods full of resentment and jealousy. There are a million reasons for all of this, and sadly, some mother/daughter relationships don't always survive. Some lucky women have very close, special relationships with their mom, some have weird, complex ones that are a mix angst and love, that's just how it goes.
Then there are some mothers who just aren't good at it. Maybe you came along at a really bad time in their lives. Maybe they had horrible parents, and never figured out how to be a mom. Maybe they had been beaten down and felt worthless, or had mental health problems or addictions. That can all feel like betrayal and abuse to a child of a woman who was damaged, and maybe it is.
So, if you have a mom who has always been there for you, and taught you unconditional love, hug her tight today and be thankful for how lucky you are.
If you have a mom that had one of those topsy turvy relationships with, forget about the petty crap you've dealt with now and then, and make today about the good times.
If you had a horrible mom, who was never there, or who let you down over and over, well… Maybe try to find it in your heart to forgive her and just move on. In the process, you can forgive yourself, because usually those moms bring a whole set of guilt, and feelings of worthlessness that you don't deserve. For Mother's Day, be your own mom, and figure out a way to make it all better. It's time, already.
Then there is the last group of children. You may have a mother who is no longer with you. Whether your mother was your best friend, your sparring partner, or the person you think helped to ruin your life, when she's gone, so is your chance at telling her how you feel or fixing what's between you. Don't waste the opportunity, and don't wait until Mother's Day to let her know.
The stars want to let you know that your mother is never truly gone. For better or for worse, she's always going to be a part of you. Carry her with you, and learn from her, whether it's from her wisdom and love, or her failures and mistakes. Know that your mother probably knew you better than yourself, and even if there are things you left unsaid, she most likely knew anyway. Mom's are always happy to make it easier on you. Sometimes your mom isn't even the woman who gave birth to you, but still gave you what a mother gives.
Whoever your mom is, for all the good and all the bad, whether she's still here, or only here in your heart, celebrate her, even if it's just a little bit. If you find some resentment, remember that she also had to deal with all the scary and terrible stuff you do now, and be your mom on top of it. So give her a break, even if it's just for one day. The stars know that's a hard thing to do, but do it anyway.
Sometimes, that's what being a mother is.

Today's Horoscope
All signs:
The stars realize that your life is going to be full of painful reminders. The simple act of living is going to be painful now and then, and there are always going to be things leftover long after the fact to bring that hurt back to the forefront.
So stop looking at those things. Get rid of them. We tend to hold onto reminders of our misery as some sort of monument or memorial to our pain. Get them out of your sight, and get on with your life.
Some things you can't get rid of, of course. Some are expensive or precious, or they are places. So change the way you see them. A lot of the time, they are reminders because we want them to be. For some reason, we often think it's noble to suffer and dwell on our sadness.
Go make new, happier memories for those things and places you can't just cast away. The only thing stopping us from moving on and letting go is some irrational fear that we can't even quite put into words. We feel we are doing a disservice to someone's memory, or maybe someone we we thought loved us might return and we will ruin our chance if we aren't right where they left us. These things keep us in a state of arrested development.
So the stars tell you to cast them off, like chains and shackles holding you down, because that's exactly what they are, and as usual, you are your own jailer. The door isn't even locked, so open it and walk into the future, unencumbered of your totems to the past.

The stars want to remind you that you really don't need a horoscope. You've accomplished so much already, and you really have all the answers you'll ever need. The challenge is learning to accept them.
The problem is, we always want to believe that there's more to it. We have amazing minds, and hearts too big for this world, so we think too much and our love overwhelms us, and we end up missing the fact that everything we ever really need is right here.
Today your unnecessary horoscope is telling you that this world is enough. You are enough. Go find what you love, and love it.

Sometimes we find ourselves in a place where we think we are unlovable. We think love might not be real. We convince ourselves that we are better off alone. We stop trusting and build a wall. Maybe it's too scary to even think about what we have to face and the work we have to do to think ourselves worthy of anyone's affection or respect, let alone our own.
And so it happens that we are careless and cavalier with the love we get. We hide and we lash out, and we make sure that anyone foolish enough to love us learns how stupid they are for thinking that. We tell ourselves they deserve it, and we conjure up faults, and assign them crimes they didn't commit, all to prove what we know is false from the start.
All because someone had the audacity to think we were something special. And on it will go, until you change it, because there will always be someone who loves you.
So the stars recommend you get used to the idea of someone loving you; because it's a long, lonely life otherwise.

All signs:
Prey animals live in fear. True, not every moment. You can see them leaping and playing and doing things we interpret as fun. They are always on guard, though. Part of their brain is always ready to run, to flee, to protect themselves from danger that may appear out of nowhere. From the sky, behind a rock, from the long grass; or hiding in plain sight, camouflaged and disguised as something else until the last second.
That is how they live, always agitated and unsure, not even aware of exactly what it is that they are afraid of. Most of the time, their first run in with a predator is their last. The ones that survive are even more leery, seeing their attackers everywhere, knowing that next time might be the time they are torn apart and devoured.
And so the stars see that many people are like predator or prey. Neither way is any good. The predators destroy. They hurt and they kill and they take everything when they get the chance.
The prey have it worse. They may survive, but they can be left shattered and incomplete, doomed to live a half life, broken and fearful. Human predators don't hunt for food or necessity. They hunt because they are selfish and damaged and always empty, and they can never be full. Their victims never provide nourishment or peace, only more hunger and desire.
The stars want to remind us that we are the only animals that truly get to decide what we want to be. It's not always easy, and it's not always obvious, but in the end it is our choice. We can be predator, we can be prey, or we can be something else.
The stars recommend that you be something else, otherwise, what's the point of being human at all?

All Signs:
The stars want you to remember that just because someone agrees with you doesn’t mean that they are smart, just like when someone disagrees with you, it doesn’t mean that they are stupid. Most people will agree with you on some issues, and not on others. All people will do stupid things at some point in their lives, but that’s how we learn and grow.
In these polarized times, we tend to label people as stupid depending on how they voted, or who or what they like or support. Maybe their circumstances are just different than yours. Maybe they haven’t grown in the same areas you have. Perhaps they are on their own journey, and calling them stupid isn’t really going to help them or you.
Some of the most intelligent people in the world were racist and intolerant, and committed some of the most heinous crimes against humanity. Some of the least intelligent people on the planet can comprehend love and compassion, and possess wisdom we can’t even guess at.
The stars want you to realize that the world is far more complicated than even the smartest of us can comprehend. Most people are a million different things, all their thoughts and emotions and influences competing and conflicting at every moment. They can be wrong, they can be evil, they can be indifferent and selfish. They can be ignorant on some subjects, they can be ruled by their emotions or past trauma or the way they were raised. They can be damaged or stubborn or misinformed, but they are hardly ever stupid.
And if you still can’t see that just because people disagree with you, it doesn’t make them stupid, think about the fact that some of those people think you are stupid as well. So either you’re both stupid, or you’re both wrong. Which is it?

All signs:
The things you fear are probably always going to outnumber the things that make you happy. In a horrible twist, you might actually end up fearing the very things that make you happy.
The stars realize that living with no fear is most likely unattainable to anyone who isn't the Dalai Lama or a psychopath. The next best option is to accept that our brains are geared to be afraid and irrational most of the time, but not to let that fear stop us.
Everyone is afraid. Everyone has doubts. Everyone feels insecure and inadequate and full of self loathing at one time or another. Everyone let's themselves down, occasionally or on a daily basis. Everyone spends parts of their life terrified and alone and frozen.
Yet everyday heroes show up. Everyday someone achieves greatness. Everyday, some people conquer their fears and doubts, and they change the world.
Fear is everywhere, but you give it its power. The stars recommend you take that power back, and get on with your life before you are looking back on a lifetime of missed opportunities and agonizing regrets.

Your life is going to be full of wonderful things you couldn’t appreciate at the time. We were too young, we had other stuff going on, we were just made a foolish choice, and the moment passed us by.
The stars want you to understand that you are never going to get it right every time. Some people like to console themselves with phrases like “if it was meant to be, it would happen” or “everything happens for a reason”. The stars are not fans of regrets, and they are not fans of passing the blame or looking for an out or going gentle into that good night.
The fact that you can now recognize the things you missed out on means that you will see them the next time they come around. More than that, if there is something you feel you missed out on in the past, go make it happen for you now. It may not be the exact thing you missed, but with some effort and some willpower you can get pretty damn close. Maybe better.
Don’t just wait for things to happen to you and hope you can be bothered to appreciate it when it comes along, actively go out and get what you want out of life, when you want it. There is still magic in the world, but sometimes you need to be the magician.
Go out and make your own fucking magic.

Today's Horoscope
All signs:
One the most basic human needs is that we want to feel like we matter. We look for evidence that people truly care about us, and we want little signs as well as grand gestures to show it.
Often, people are too busy with their own insecurities to spend all their time reassuring us. Sometimes that can seem like they are going out of their way to make the point that they don't care, but that's most likely in your head. We are so focused on what they should be doing for us that we forget that they have their own life to live.
So we become needy, and any perceived slight makes us we feel insignificant and like the people who are supposed to love us don't. Add to that the fact that many people don't know how or are afraid to show their feelings, or that some people are self absorbed and don't actively consider other people's feelings. Some people think dependency of any kind is a weakness, and won't acknowledge it in themselves or others. Still others lack empathy, or have sociopathic traits, and are incapable of realizing your needs.
The point the stars is trying to make is that you should have people in your life who make you feel like you matter, but it isn't something you should expect reassurances about constantly. If you have that, you should realize how fortunate you are. If you expect it, eventually you are going to see everything someone does that doesn't relate to you as a slight, and proof you don't matter.
It goes the other way, too. If someone matters to you, tell them. More importantly, show them. It doesn't take a lot of effort to make someone feel needed, and if you can't be bothered doing it, there is always someone else who can. Then you will find how little you really matter.

The stars want us to remember that perfection is impossible. We drive ourselves mad trying to achieve it, and hobble ourselves when we don't. We use the fact that we are not exactly the way we want to be yet as an excuse not to try, or to put off what we want to do. We obsess over every flaw, and expose them to others who might use them against us.
Meanwhile, the whole time we ignore the fact that perfection is an illusion. No one who loves you expects perfection of you, and you shouldn’t either. Imperfection is what being human is all about. Imperfection is unique, it is what gains you wisdom, it is what sets us apart and makes us strong.
The stars want us to realize, it is in fact our imperfections that make us beautiful.

All signs:
The stars want to remind you that today could be the day you figure out just who you are. Or more likely, the day you finally accept who you are.
Life is a constant struggle between what we want and what makes us happy, and what we think we are supposed to be. Guilt and shame and outside influences make us doubt ourselves. We talk ourselves into being someone completely different than what we feel, and we deny ourselves the things that make us happy.
We sometimes end up tormented, alone, or abused, and give away our own happiness as some weird penance for disappointing people who could care less about us. We have to be careful, because we can fool ourselves into being the very thing that keeps us in a cage, and truly believe that is what we want.
The stars recommend that figure out who you are, and then go be it.

The stars recommend you learn to enjoy the experiences that make you happy rather than look for reasons to ruin them. When you think about how much of your life is work and responsibilities, sleeping, heartache, and mind numbing drudgery, you should really learn to appreciate the amount of joy you end up with.
Sometimes we train ourselves how not to be happy; we can learn how to be happy again.

Sometimes we train ourselves how not to be happy; we can learn how to be happy again.

All signs:
Here we are at another Friday! You made it through the week again, good for you!
As you start your weekend, the stars want to point out that while you should always work to improve yourself, you should also learn to accept some things about who you are. We often fixate on our shortcomings, but sometimes faults are really virtues in disguise.
Maybe you trust too easily, or care too much. Perhaps you think more than you should, and analyze everything to death. Maybe you love too deeply and fall too fast and get hurt, or you're cautious and careful and sometimes let the moment pass you by.
Sometimes the things you berate yourself for aren't a defect in you, but something lacking in the world around you. Some of the gifts you possess are going mess you up at times, but that's the price for being special. If you are somehow able in this brutal world to still care and love and have hope and dreams, make your peace with that. Accept who you are, and let that knowledge warm you in the cold, dark night.
There are always going to be people who judge and belittle you for some of the things that bring you joy. They might disagree with you about what's right and wrong, but that's all relative to their situation and choices. If what you love isn't hurting you or anyone else, ignore the people who try to make you feel bad and be you.
There are always people who are too damaged or frightened and will break your heart, but that doesn't mean loving them is wrong. People won't be able to stop themselves from disappointing you at times, but that doesn't mean you're wrong for caring.
So make your peace with who you are, and accept that it comes along with pitfalls and heartache. Go into life with enthusiasm and an open mind, fear be damned. The only chance you have to show the world how amazing you are is to be true to who you are.
Know yourself, forgive yourself, love yourself, and the right people will love you back.

Today's Horoscope
All signs:
The stars want you to know that validation is overrated. We are so insecure that we look to others constantly for approval, but when we just want blanket approval, we don't care where we get it. We cast our pearls at swine, simply because they are telling us what we want to hear.
That's not good for anyone. It's a trade off, and we lose in the bargain. Every time. Your goal should be to know yourself, and know what you're doing. You should be able to figure out if you're living right and making good choices. More importantly, you should be able to commit to the good choices and strong enough to avoid the bad ones.
We often end up looking for people to enable and justify our crappy behavior instead of just doing what we know is the smart thing. If you really do need help figuring it out, get some people in your life who are not afraid to disagree with you now and then. We form our relationships based on mutual interests and opinions, but no one is going to agree with you 100% of the time. Someone who does is lying, to you and themselves.
So the stars recommend that you follow the right path, you'll be much happier in the long run. To do that, surround yourself with people who genuinely love you, and want you to be happy and healthy and fulfilled. People who love you want you to be strong, not weak and dependent and controlled. Soon, you might find that the thing you looked to other people for now comes from within, and that's the best validation you can ever get.

Today's Horoscope
All signs:
The stars want you to realize that while many of us live with the constant fear of failure or pain as a possibility, just as many times we are as apprehensive about success and happiness. There are times we are all afraid to be happy.
That is actually another trick our mind plays. It is the same fear of failure in disguise. We are afraid to believe in happiness. We feel like a fool when we have hope, and then it is taken away from us. We think it is safer not to hope, and we look cool or pragmatic when we allow our cynicism and negativity to call the shots. All we are doing is setting ourselves up for failure, the failure we dread in the first place.
Life is about risks and failure. Wisdom comes from doing it wrong until you get it right. Visionaries, great artists or inventors, or nearly anyone who makes their mark or changes the world, does it by fearlessly attempting the difficult or impossible. Then one day, they figure it out and accomplish everything they dreamed of.
Meanwhile, the stars aren't expecting anyone to change the world. They just want you to be capable of living in the moment at times. To simply enjoy your tiny victories as they happen, not be consumed by the past or terrified of the future.
The past is gone, and if you believe that all the world holds is the same exact outcome you've already experienced, what's the point? The world is full of variations and diversity, and different outcomes are pretty much guaranteed. Focusing on the negative only gives you a negative target, so that's where you will navigate towards.
Meanwhile, you will speed past your well deserved happiness and joy, lost in thought and fear, headlong into the misery you fear so much.
That's a self-fulfilling prophecy, and we humans are very bad at predicting the future, that's why prophecies are best left to the stars.

It's that way for us all, and if you don't believe that, go to your favorite books and movies, or listen to the lyrics from some of your favorite songs, and see that we are all lost and broken at times.
Then get back up, and drag your wretched heart back into the light.

Then fight.

Examine your expectations, for yourself and others, and see if they are reasonable. If not, lose them.
Stare your guilt and shame in the face, and figure out if there is really anything to be ashamed of or feel guilty about. If not, let it go.
Look at the things that inform how you feel about yourself and where you get your self image from. If they come from negative or damaged people tearing you down, or advertisers and pop culture imagery, disregard it and find it from within.
Learn the difference between love and abuse, between healthy and destructive, between positive and negative reinforcement. Don't allow cruel people in your life, for whatever reason. Don't do their work and be cruel to yourself.
Don't be so lenient with the broken people in your life that hurt you, and be less harsh with yourself when you make an honest mistake.
Protect yourself without being shut off. Live in the moment without obsessing over the past or future. Let go of the things that you can't change and that bring you misery, and change the things you can if you don't like them. Do the things that make you happy, and learn to avoid the things that don't.
The stars are simply telling you to love and respect yourself. Only when you do that are all things possible, and true happiness attainable. And if you can't ever see that happening, then the stars will weep for you and your long and wretched life.

All signs:
It's Friday, and the stars hope you have a lovely weekend. They also want to make sure you know that while you should always be conscious of your actions and working on improvement, you should still be able to just have fun.
The stars have noticed that these days mistrust, paranoia, fear and disillusionment seem to occupy a lot of people's thoughts. Examining your actions and the world around you shouldn't stifle who you are and keep you from what you want, it should do the opposite. The goal is a better life, a better relationship with the people and world around you. Happiness and fulfillment, not anxiety and dread.
If deep thinking and self awareness isn't freeing you and bringing about positives, you're not doing it right. You're simply being tricked by your fear, yet again. It's easy to do.
So whether you're forging a path to nirvana or just making yourself neurotic, take a break from it for the weekend and just have fun again. Sometimes the secret to life is to simply live it.

Today you're going to figure out some of the lessons you've already figured out. That's how we humans work. Unfortunately, we have to learn the same things over and over again until they finally take, if they ever do.
The stars advise that you learn your lesson the first time, and save yourself a lot of trouble, but they know that's not how it usually goes. That's what makes us wonderful, and makes us look like fools, all at the same time.
The stars want you to know that you shouldn't sweat it too much, that's just our humanity bleeding through. You'll figure it out when you're ready, or it will do you in yet again, but someday you will learn one way or the other.

Today's Horoscope
All signs:
The stars want to remind you that if you want to be that person people come to with all there problems, then people are going to come to you with all their problems. Constantly.
If you have a big heart and are full of empathy, or if you are simply needy and in denial about it, you might find yourself surrounded by people who are constantly in crisis. Some people are givers, and some are takers. The takers can spot a giver a mile away.
Being a taker is not meant as a derogatory term. In fact, most givers should learn to take a little themselves. Usually a giver becomes so immersed in their role that they can't ask for help themselves. They see themselves as the person who helps, not the person who needs help.
Some givers give too much, and some takers take too much, and then you have enabling and codependency. It's a tricky thing on both sides, and often way out of balance.
The only point that the stars want to make here is that givers and takers usually seek each other out, whether they realize it or not. So if your life is full of takers, don't be surprised if no one even notices when you are going through a hard time. That's not your role, so no one will recognize it when it happens. Your life should be full of givers and takers, and they should give and take in moderation, and that's something that's nearly impossible to achieve.
The stars recommend that if you are a giver, you better have a very strong sense of self, because most likely that's who is going to be there for you when times get rough.

Today's Horoscope
All signs:
The stars want to remind you that everything in the universe is basically in a constant state of free fall. Orbits are just a constant state of falling. Objects are simply tumbling through the expanse, subject to the whims of gravity and circumstance.
Perhaps that will result in new stars and solar systems and life, or perhaps it will feed a black hole or wander too close to an impending supernova. So much is not about control as it is about happenstance and luck.
So if you find yourself sometimes feeling untethered and adrift, falling and not even sure that gravity exists anymore, that's part of life. That doesn't mean you give up, but it might mean you are going through change, and you never know where you are going to land. It could be new life, or it could be a black hole, but still something has to change.
So the stars want to tell you not to be afraid, and to keep your wits about you. Free fall can deliver you someplace new and wonderful. It can help you get a perspective on your life as it goes flying by. It is just one more thing in life you need to learn how to navigate. If it helps, just remember that you are living on a planet falling forever around a star that is falling forever along with the rest of universe, always into the unknown, always into change, always into oblivion. Life is an eternity of falling. You should be used to it by now.

Today's Horoscope
All signs:
The stars are all about being positive, and seeing the good in the world. They are all for change for the better, and strength and bravery, and overcoming the pitfalls and setbacks life has for you. The stars believe in a better world and a better you, and finding joy and magic anywhere.
But the stars aren't fooling themselves. They know that the world has no shortage of things working against you. They realize that life can pile on, and you're sometimes left gasping for air as you try to stay afloat.
At some of those times, the positives are hard to visualize. It seems like the whole universe is against you, and you don't have a friend in the world. Even though that's never correct, the stars know that's little solace in those moments.
It's those moments when you need to hang on to yourself, because those are the moments you can lose everything. When people's cruelty seems too much, where all the frustration and sadness are at their peak. You need to just put your head down, and forge on. Get past it, and figure out why you even got to a place where you feel like that.
Not that it's all your fault, or you should feel guilty, but maybe you chose the wrong people to believe in. Maybe they just weren't strong enough or too damaged. Maybe you took too big a risk or pushed your luck, and now you're broke or unemployed or have angered your friends.
Some of things that knock us down are beyond our control. Sickness, death, disaster, the whims of the universe. How we choose to react to those things is the one thing we can control. That's not easy at first, but at some point you need to take the reins and rebuild or get past it.
The stars know that's all well and good, but now, when it all seems too much and too overwhelming, what do you do then? You find what strength you have left, and you cling to those who love you, and hang on for dear life. That might seem like it's not much help, but in fact it's all you can do until you can pick yourself up and start figuring it out all over again.
And though it might not seem like it, it's enough. It's so much more than enough, because there are so many who don't do it, who give up and give in. That's when your real trouble begins.

Today's Horoscope
All signs:
The stars notice that more and more people today seem to have trust issues. This is understandable, because often our trust is betrayed. The thing, the trust issues they really have is with themselves.
If you do the work to figure out who you are and trust yourself, then you aren't afraid to trust other people. You should only give that which you can afford to lose. If you have yourself, and an unshakeable core, then you can afford to lose a lot and still be strong and happy.
If someone lets you down, or tries to hurt or deceive you, you should trust yourself to handle it. Sure, it will hurt, and it will probably mess up a part of your life, but it shouldn't change who you are.
If you've taken care of yourself and figured out what you should have by now, you should learn what you can from it and keep on living your life. If you start seeing red flags everywhere, and keep yourself from things you want just because you are afraid, then you are failing at life. You are letting fear win, you are missing out, because you no longer trust yourself. You are causing yourself more misery than you are avoiding. How can you know what to trust in others when you don't even trust in yourself?
Minds are funny that way. They are really basic at their core, and they get things jumbled easily without reason and logic in control. So you think others are the ones whose loyalty matters most, you think you are protecting yourself when you're just making yourself sick and isolated.
The stars think you should trust yourself to go after the things you desire, and to trust yourself to handle it when things don't go your way. Otherwise, you are in for a long and lonely life, full of regrets and self inflicted misery.

The stars want you to realize how brave you really are. We tend to fixate on the times we didn't do the thing we wanted, or spoke up because our insecurities or fears got the better of us. We focus on those incidents to convince ourselves that we are cowards and that we are weak. Then, the next time we hesitate, we are lost.
Meanwhile, we all do so many things without a second thought that might scare the hell out of anyone else. Most people who view themselves as frightened and anxiety riddled will think nothing of going to work and doing a job that would intimidate most of us.
Some people are dealing with situations that would cripple others. Monetary issues, medical issues, relationship issues, work issues, mental health issues. The list goes on and on. Everyday living takes bravery.
We gain confidence in things we are familiar with. The more we do them, the less frightened we are. When something needs to be done we do it, and we find it's not so scary after all. Then we discount the bravery it took to accomplish it in the first place.
So the stars recommend that if something scares you, go do it. You might stumble the first couple of times, but you will soon find that it loses its hold over you. If you're reading this, you can take solace in the fact that nothing that scared you has killed you yet. In fact, the things that frightened you at first and you conquered now give you strength.
You are already brave, you've proved it a thousand times over. So go be brave.

Today's Horoscope
All signs:
The stars want to know, why would you deny yourself, when the world has denied you so much already? Life is full of moments when it tore the rug out from under you. Where it stole the thing that made you happy. When it cruelly and indiscriminately left you out in the cold, when you needed the warmth most.
That doesn’t mean you should shrivel up and die. It doesn’t mean you should live in fear of it happening every time. We often talk ourselves out of even trying for happiness, simply because the world knocked us down a few times.
The world will continue to deny you some of the things you want at times, that will never change. Denying them yourself before you even try is just giving up and ensuring failure. In the end all you will be left with is questions and regret, unfulfilled and tormented.
The stars want to point out that this is your chance, and you should take it while you still can. Go live your life.

Today's Horoscope
All signs:
The stars have guided humanity for millenia. From the moment our ancestors looked at the sky, they found patterns and guide posts to help make sense of the world. The stars told them when to plant and harvest, how to navigate the globe, they foretold the future and were home to the gods.
These days, it is hard to see the stars. Humanity has progressed so far, and artificial light obscures most of the stars from our eyes at night. Our heads are often pointed down anyway, at our phones or our feet. Many of us have lost our tether, and that's why we so easily fall prey to conmen, and our own insecurities and fears.
The stars are but one example of the things we've lost touch with. We are beset by distractions from every side, and we sometimes end up sacrificing all the things in life that make us better. We stop working on ourselves, and we disconnect with the people who love us and want the best for us. We lose the ones who inspire and encourage us. Who make life bearable and push and carry us when we don't want to keep going.
We find that we are adrift in a sea of noise and turmoil, of nonsense, things that seem important but have no substance. We are fooled and taken in by hollow promises and bright lights, and before we know it, we have lost track of what we knew and who we are.
Just because we don't see the stars so clearly at night, doesn't mean that they aren't still there. Even know, mankind is seeing further into the universe than ever before, searching the heavens for the answers to life itself. Scouring the great expanse of the galaxy, looking for our next home.
The people and things that connect you to the real world and a better life are still there as well. Your stars are there, just waiting for you to come back, and you are a star for other people as well. We all are. We all depend on each other, and we are all here to be a light in the darkness to guide and tether the next person. We can't do that when we are too busy chasing our tails.
The stars think you should reconnect to the people and things that matter, before you get too far adrift and can't find your way back. You just need to pause, recalibrate and look up. They will be here to guide you, to your return to happiness, to where you belong, and the to arms of love in your home amongst the stars.

Today’s Horoscope
All Signs:
The stars know that death is one of the hardest things to deal with. The loss of a loved one is never easy. You can try to concentrate on all the good things, but even those memories can make you sad. You will spend the rest of your life wondering “what if” about a million things, and even though you know that will lead nowhere good and is probably not even important, you can’t help it. There are feelings of guilt and blame where there really shouldn’t be. There is the feeling that you could have done more, but hindsight isn’t always 20/20. We imagine we should have seen or done something different, when in reality we did just fine.
We have our funerals and wakes and celebrations of life, and it brings us some kind of closure. It helps us to be around others who knew and loved them too. Stories are shared, we cry on each other’s shoulders, and we get through it together.
Nowadays, we have a whole new bunch of friends on social media. We share things with them, we laugh and cry and talk, and even fight now and then. We forge friendships that are sometimes as strong as the ones we have “in real life”. The stars think that it’s funny we use the term “in real life”. Isn’t social media part of your real life? The bonds you form online are often just as real and important as anything flesh and blood you can touch.
People fall in love online, people save lives online, lasting friendships are formed online, people are just as much people online as they are in your everyday physical world. Sometimes even moreso.
So when you find out that a friend on social media, someone you never actually met, or even heard their voice, has died, it is a strange feeling at first. Then you realize that you shared something with that person. They touched your life, they occupy a part of your brain, and a part of your heart as well. You were there for their triumphs, their setbacks, all the struggles. There for the good times and the laughter and tears. You may have told them things you didn’t even tell the people in your “real life”.
Some of those friends were there for you in a way no one else could be, just as you were there for them. And when they are gone, you feel an emptiness where they used to be. Not all of them, just like “in real life”, you have close friends, acquaintances, and people you interact with once or twice a year. But they all mean something, and when the ones that meant a lot are gone, it hurts just as badly.
So do what you do in real life. Celebrate their lives. Share their stories with the people who knew them. Remember the good times, and try to forgive and forget the bad. In the end, the bad doesn’t seem that bad at all. The stars want you to grieve the dead, no matter where you knew them from. It is natural, and it matters, and it is important. To think that someone you never met in physical form is somehow lesser than “real life” is to deny the very thing that makes us human. We are all a bunch of meat and bones walking around, but who we are is an abstract thing that we can’t really touch at all, except with our hearts. In some ways, the people online are more essentially human than anyone.

Today’s Horoscope
All Signs:
The stars want to warn you to be careful of what you get used to. As humans, one of our best evolutionary traits is adaptability. Like everything else, it has its good and bad sides.
We adapt much to easily to whatever your brain perceives as the norm. Thus, we become complacent and used to abuse. We get acclimated to being depressed, repressed, controlled, ignored, bored, angry, sad … basically anything. We end up living a half life, simply because our brains don’t know the difference between adapting to the weather or a completely unhealthy lifestyle.
That is why you have to constantly expose yourself to new opinions and situations. That’s why you need to question what you are doing and why. You need to monitor your brain, because like any other tool, it is only as effective as the person wielding it. Many times we simply look for things to reinforce what our brains are telling us. That is evolution again.
Your brain’s job is to do whatever it is trained or predisposed to do, and do it over and over again until you either get the most berries or die out. That’s how evolution works. Try a lot of different variants from individual to individual and see what works best. It doesn’t care about what doesn’t work. The sooner that element is out of the equation, the better.
Even more important than our ability to adapt, is our ability to adapt the environment around us. We can control how we live. We can control how we let others treat us. We can decide what paths we want to go down. We are not beholden to some local food supply or shelter or tribe. We can decide who we listen to and who we ignore. More than any other animal at any time in history, we have more options, and more information to inform them.
As with everything important in life, it’s not always easy, but it is worth it. So always shake up your routine a little. Always look at the other side of the discussion, even if it’s an argument. If you feel like you aren’t happy or fulfilled, figure out why that is. If you are filled with anger or sadness or resentment, look into why that is and do something to resolve those feelings. Listen to your friends, and talk to them about the bad choices they are making, and be willing to accept their criticism as well. The more you isolate yourself, the more control your brain has, and the more you are apt to miss out on in life. Anyone that wants to control you wants to isolate you, and your brain is no different.
The stars want you to be happy, the stars want you to be free, the stars want you look back on your life and be satisfied when your done. That might seem like a tall order to many, but it’s really mostly a matter of awareness and discipline. It’s about overriding an out of control function of your brain that tells you that everything is fine when it really isn’t. The fear you feel when you think about changing is just another trick, a release of chemicals that make you act out of habit, the way you’ve been conditioned to.
The stars know that you are stronger than that. Many times the strength we exhibit in keeping ourselves in chains is greater than the strength it takes to break them. Most of the time, the cage isn’t even locked at all. Every once in a while, go try the door. You might be surprised how close at hand freedom really is.

Today’s Horoscope - Middle of the week bonus
All Signs:
The stars know that some of you are really having a tough time of it. Hang in there, you’ve made it this far. Think of all the good things you have experienced in your life, and realize that there are more of those good things to come. Power through whatever you are dealing with now, and keep an eye on what’s important and what’s to come. You are loved. Your problems are valid. Whether you see it right now or not, people are rooting for you.
And if someone you know is having a hard time of it, just comfort them. Encourage them. Give them your sympathy. Too often we react by judging whether or not their pain or problems are valid, and ignore or chastise them, but that is lousy behavior. No matter what judgements you harbor, nothing justifies ignoring a person in pain or crisis.
Do some of them do it for attention? Possibly, but the fact remains that they feel they need attention. Maybe they are lonely or insecure or just sad. You’ve never felt that way? A few seconds out of your day to acknowledge them is too much for you? Maybe they are needy, but if your friends aren’t there to make you feel needed, then why are they there?
Is their problem something you have had to deal with? Are you bitter because you had to do it alone, so why should they get any help? That’s about as selfish as you could get. Why deny others just because others denied you?
The stars think that if you care about people, you should give them what they need if you can. Don’t judge, don’t berate, don’t ignore. Just tell them that you love them. If you can’t do it, then why do you even call them your friend in the first place?

Today’s Horoscope
All Signs:
The stars realize that you will come across some horrible people with horrible opinions today, especially in these days of social media. They suggest you think very carefully before you react. Confrontation is not going to change a lifetime of whatever they have experienced. They are only going to fight back, and nothing constructive will come of it. The only effect it will have on your life is that you will probably end up sinking to their level, and not only waste your time, but make yourself look bad in the long run.
Best is to just ignore people you don’t even know. Some people have different viewpoints than yours, some people have issues or trauma that have shaped their lousy worldview, and some people are just assholes. It is up to you to decide which ones are worth engaging, but it is worth taking a minute to really think about it before you do.
And before you let them ruin your day, or make you think humanity is a lost cause, take another moment to realize that the truly bad people are sprinkled here and there. The majority of people and things you encounter during the day are just fine. You smile at them, you relate to them, you share them because they bring you at least a tiny bit of joy. In between the horror and joy is a whole bunch of stuff that is just normal, everyday life. Keep that in mind, it’s only a very tiny portion of your life that is truly infuriating. If it’s more than that, you probably go looking for it, which isn’t healthy. But that’s a horoscope for another day.
Instead of engaging and dwelling on the negativity of people you don’t like anyway, you should focus on the people you love. That’s why you make friends, and work on filling your life with people whose ideals and morals and outlook matches your own. Rather than argue with some close-minded, angry or hateful being, go talk to the people who bring you joy and happiness and magic.
Sure, the world has some idiots and trolls scattered through it, but avoiding them makes much more sense than inviting them to your party. The stars suggest you take that time and energy and put it towards the things that make you happy.

Today's Horoscope
All signs:
There are limits to what you can do. You can only try to help someone so much. Most of the people who need help in this world don't even know it. They adapt to the misery they live in, and cling to it, and fear any change might make it worse.
Even those who do know it have a hard time admitting it, even to themselves. Many of us have some misguided voice inside us, telling us we are weak or should be ashamed of accepting help. Still others are afraid of asking for help because people have turned on them, and tried to use it to make them feel guilty or gain control over them. They have been hurt before, and nothing will make them try again.
So it goes, so many people missing out on happiness and love, peace and companionship, telling themselves that they are fine when their heart aches and their mind rages with torment.
The stars know how hard it is to see that, and not be able to do a damn thing about it. They watch as your heart breaks, seeing their broken hearts and shattered dreams, and the stars hearts break right along with ours.
Life is joy and light and wonder, but not for many. It eludes them, and they trip and stumble in darkness, never reaching out to simply grasp our outstretched hand, just waiting there to be taken.

4/2/18
Today's Horoscope
All signs:
The stars advise you that if you need to be saved, you should get busy saving yourself. No matter how much support or love you have around you, you have to do the real work.
Others can inspire you, or go to great lengths to help and nurture you, but if you're not trying, it will all be for naught. A support group is just that: support. Support while you do a lot of the heavy lifting. In the end, it will be you that has to be strong, you that has to grow, you that sometimes has to change your entire outlook and perspective on the world. That's no easy task.
If you're trying to save someone, it is fraught with perils and traps. It's a delicate thing, and when you're that invested, it is hard to avoid pitfalls. Say one wrong thing or lose your patience and you could find yourself back at square one, or worse. Fail them once, and you might join the ranks of everyone else who has let them down and become another excuse for them to give up. Try too hard, and you enable them, to their addiction, or their trauma, or whatever mental health issues might be plaguing them.
People fail more than they succeed when it comes to saving themselves or others. Part of the reason is that growth doesn't follow any specific timetable. You could try a thousand times before you're truly ready. It's a herculean task, and tasks don't get that herculean tag without being staggeringly hard. Each failure could bring insight for when you try again, but more often than not it drags you deeper down a hole, and makes it harder instead of easier.
This doesn't mean you should stop trying to help, it doesn't mean you should stop trying to get better. It just means you should be prepared for failures and setbacks along the way. It means that the longer you put it off, the harder it will be.
The stars want to stress that everyone who succeeds in life plays by these same rules. True, some have bigger mountains to climb, and some have better tools and advantages to cope with it, but they have all had setbacks and pain in their life. No matter what their situation, they eventually did the work to save themselves. You can too. None of them did it completely by themselves. You don't have to either. But what you can't do, is nothing. You've been doing that long enough.
All signs:
The stars advise you that if you need to be saved, you should get busy saving yourself. No matter how much support or love you have around you, you have to do the real work.
Others can inspire you, or go to great lengths to help and nurture you, but if you're not trying, it will all be for naught. A support group is just that: support. Support while you do a lot of the heavy lifting. In the end, it will be you that has to be strong, you that has to grow, you that sometimes has to change your entire outlook and perspective on the world. That's no easy task.
If you're trying to save someone, it is fraught with perils and traps. It's a delicate thing, and when you're that invested, it is hard to avoid pitfalls. Say one wrong thing or lose your patience and you could find yourself back at square one, or worse. Fail them once, and you might join the ranks of everyone else who has let them down and become another excuse for them to give up. Try too hard, and you enable them, to their addiction, or their trauma, or whatever mental health issues might be plaguing them.
People fail more than they succeed when it comes to saving themselves or others. Part of the reason is that growth doesn't follow any specific timetable. You could try a thousand times before you're truly ready. It's a herculean task, and tasks don't get that herculean tag without being staggeringly hard. Each failure could bring insight for when you try again, but more often than not it drags you deeper down a hole, and makes it harder instead of easier.
This doesn't mean you should stop trying to help, it doesn't mean you should stop trying to get better. It just means you should be prepared for failures and setbacks along the way. It means that the longer you put it off, the harder it will be.

Today's Horoscope
All signs:
The stars know that there are days when you wonder if you're even meant for this world. When people seem illogical and cruel, and everything seems alien and broken. Nothing makes sense at all.
You look at the things that others do to you or themselves, and you just can't understand why. You see the violence and ignorance, the corruption and abuse, the selfish and uncaring populace, and you wonder if you're the only sane person left on earth.
You feel out of place, and you wrap your arms a little tighter around yourself, and head off to work or the store or wherever you have to go, and you live with it, a stranger in a strange land.
The stars want you to understand that you do belong here, amidst all the madness and ferocious beauty. Sometimes we are just more aware of our individuality and our own grace, and the contrast with the rest of the world is a kick in the guts. There are days when we are all reminded that we are just too beautiful for this existence, and that's how it should be.
That is why everyday we strive to make the world better. It is not us that is corrupted, but the world around us. So celebrate the moments when you feel like you are the only person who can see what's important, because that means that you represent hope, and are still a light in all this darkness. Sometimes it's lonely, buts that the price you pay for being something rare and beautiful.

Today's Horoscope
All signs:
The Easter weekend is upon us, and the stars don't care about what particular religion you subscribe to, that's between you and your God. The point of Easter is spring, and rebirth. Today is Good Friday and while that might be myth or magic, the takeaway here is that to be reborn we first must die.
In that sense, if we want to get a fresh start, or better ourselves, we have to let go of the bad. Instead of holding onto all the pain and trauma and reliving the misery, let it die today. Lay it to rest, along with the past and the parts of your life that you've already obsessed and pored over a million times. If you haven't found closure by reliving it over and over, let it be dead and buried already.
Along with the memories, let go of the bad behavior and self inflicted misery that comes with them. Let all the things you do that make you feel bad about yourself wither and die. Seal them away, starve them to death, and stop letting them ruin your life.
Once you do that, you don't have to wait three days to be reborn as something new and pure. You don't actually have to crucify yourself to be redeemed. You've already crucified yourself a thousand times over, and each time you missed the point entirely.
It's not about suffering needlessly, it's about suffering with a purpose. That purpose is to stop suffering.
Go get yourself reborn, like everything else in springtime. Be new, be free, be happy and at peace. Step out of the darkness and into the light, and be you, but even better.

Today's Horoscope
All signs:
The stars want to point out that there is no shorter of insecure or thoughtless people who will say or do hurtful things to you, seemingly on a whim. Sometimes it's even the people who love you most.
People are complex beings, and every one of them is ruled by fear in some of its million guises. Even the best of us is riddled with self doubt and outright terror at times. We are in a constant battle to keep our emotions and reason in balance, and there is plenty of collateral damage.
So people will say things that cut you deep. Their inner strife will make them come out with things that might score a direct hit on your inner strife. Their insecurities will make them lash out, usually by attacking an area of insecurity you possess.
You can't do much to control someone someone else's actions, but you can control your reaction. That's one more reason to be conscious of choices, and why you make them. When you question why you do the things you do, you learn to trust your decisions, and who you are. The more self aware you become, and the more you know yourself, the less criticism and hurtful comments will bother you.
Then, when someone tries to cut you up or put you down, you can let it roll off you. You can actually feel bad for the person trying to make themselves feel better at your expense. If it's someone you care about, instead of getting mad and making it worse, you can open up a dialog with them about why they would say or do something so hurtful.
If you don't react the way they want you to, you take their power, which is more effective than anything you can say to hurt them back.
The stars know none of this is easy, but it's worth it. You will be stronger and more confident, you will save yourself much aggravation, and the people in your life will realize that they can't manipulate or control you to make themselves feel better. It can strengthen your relationships, and give you the courage to remove yourself from toxic ones.
Or you can just spend your life in one more caustic circle, repeating the same roles that have gotten you nowhere and filled you with anxiety and frustration. As always, the choice is yours.

Today’s Horoscope
All Signs:
Life is short. Just look at the total number of dead people as opposed to the living. Just think about all the people in your life that you lost too soon. Some of them in infancy, some as teens. During all points in life, and whenever we lose them it hurts and seems too soon. Even your grandparents, who may have died in their 90’s, it still doesn’t seem like enough at the end. There is always something more you want to do, a little while longer you want to hang around. To see your great grandchildren grow, to see the wonders of a world changing everyday, just to have one more good meal and to see how your favorite TV show ends.
Life is always going to be too short, no matter how long you live it. That is not going to change.
What can change is you. We waste our lives constantly. We ignore ourselves, we shirk our responsibilities, and we destroy our own happiness with reckless abandon. So much of our precious time is spent waiting for it to be over, hoping something comes along that never does.
We hesitate, we hem and haw, we decide it won’t be worth it before we start. Not all the time, true, but enough of the time. Fear and indecision hold us back, and we call ourselves lazy or unworthy, or tell ourselves we have no time in the day, because somehow that makes us feel better than just admitting that we are afraid.
The stars know that pointing out that life is short is nothing new. They know that we all realize this. They understand that we live everyday with fleeting(and not so fleeting) thoughts about our own mortality, and it chills us to the bone. To think that we might not see our children grow up, to remind ourselves of all the things we want to do, but don’t. To wonder what happens after we are gone, to our pets and belongings and to the people we love. Who will take care of the people and things we are caring for if fate decides to strike us down tomorrow? We have to turn away from such questions because we can’t even bear to look at the answers.
So life is short, and we will leave behind something of a mess when we go. The only thing you can do is live life while you are still alive. Stop hiding from the truth, and start doing the things you want to do to make you happy. Clean up your life, and when you aren’t cleaning, go live it. Figure out what it is that you really want from life, and go get it like your life depends on it.
Your life will still seem much too short, that’s not going to change. It’s going to seem so much shorter and so much more tragic when you look back on a list of what could have been, rather than what was.

All Signs:
The stars want to remind you that even though there is so much horrible and negative stuff in the world to occupy your time, that’s not all there is. While you’re trying to save the world and shine a light on all the things that need fixing, it’s important to keep track of the good things too.
You can even point out the misery in a positive fashion, rather than framing it in more negativity. People aren’t going to rally to your cause if you heap on more misery than there already is. People need hope to go along with their hills and pitfalls.
The stars recommend that you try to balance out the horror with joy, and the pain with happiness. Point out the loses, but point out the wins too. Otherwise you’re just multiplying the heartache and misery you’re trying to change.

All signs:
No matter how smart you are, no matter how much logic and reason you possess, none of it is going to make a difference when it comes to dealing with people and the world at large. You will never be in control, not for long anyway. You will never be able to outthink or manipulate or convince anyone to act the way you want them to forever.
It's like herding cats. There are too many variables, and every person is different and ruled by a multitude of emotions and behaviors that are ingrained and hardwired at this point. It's futile, and it's wrong to expect everyone to think like you want them to.
The stars suggest you learn to appreciate all the diversity in the world, and just let go of the people who are too far out there for you to accept. Let them figure it out on their own, they don't need you scolding them and making them feel worse. You will drive yourself insane trying to mold the world around you into something it doesn't want to be.
No one is truly ever in control of anything, besides how they choose to react, and you're fooling yourself if you think you are. Accept that it's going to be scary, and you're going to get your feelings stepped on and your heart broken sometimes. Understand that the world is going to frustrate and infuriate you constantly, and don't let the actions of part of the general population dictate your emotions. Let go of the ridiculous notion that you are safe, and life is going to go according to your plan, and people will act the way you want them to act.
Why in the world would you want that anyway? Think of all the amazing and unexpected joy you've experienced in life, and what you would have missed out on if life had followed your narrow and uninspired plans.

The stars want to remind you to thank the people you should thank. Let them know that you appreciate all they've done for you and what they mean to you. Even if they drive you crazy sometimes, even if you feel embarrassed doing it, and think that you can't live up to what you believe they expect of you.
Thank them for what they've given you, thank them for any trouble they saved you from, thank them for protecting you from harm. Thank them because they took a bullet for you, thank them because they believed in you when you didn't believe in yourself. Thank them for letting you off the hook, thank them for not being petty or punishing you out of spite.
Thank them sticking by you, thank them for being hard on you when you needed it, thank them for loving you when you couldn't even love yourself.
Thank them for being what you couldn't be at the time, thank them for carrying you when you were weak or confused or frightened. Thank them for holding your hand and just being there.
Because it's hard being the giver. It's hard being strong. It's hard doing what's right, but we all rise to the occasion at times, and we all deserve a little acknowledgement and appreciation from time to time.
The stars are thankful for anyone that makes life better for someone else, or sacrifices a little of their time or happiness so that others might have it a little better. You should be too, because nobody in this world gets anywhere completely on their own. There's always someone to thank.

Today's Horoscope
All signs:
The stars advise that you get used to the fact that everyday is going to bring a new assault on your sanity.
People are amazing and wonderful things, but they are also a big, complex mass of emotions and fear. Past trauma and cruelty has shaped us all into reactionary beasts, who at times use twisted logic and outright delusion to get reality to conform to what whatever strange worldview we have achieved.
That is never going to change, so you can spend a lot of your life getting upset, you can spend a lot of your life hating the rest of the world, or you can just understand that you're not going to understand a lot of the things people do or say.
Instead of getting angry, allow a little compassion, and be sad for them instead. Most people end up being someone that they despise, and very few people should actually hate themselves. It is the loneliest way to live.
The stars advise that you treat people with kindness, if you can do it. It's not always easy, but perhaps if someone had treated them kindly in the first place, the world wouldn't be such a mess in the first place. Then maybe life wouldn't be so terrifying and happiness wouldn't be so elusive.

Just like spring, there are a lot of things in your life that have false starts, only to dump metaphorical snow on your parade. When you get winter weather in spring, it doesn't mean spring isn't coming, and when hit a setback, it doesn't mean you throw your hands up and give in.
Everything in life can have setbacks, but that's when you put your head down and push ahead. And the further you get into spring, the less time the snow will last once it falls. Warmth is already happening, the thaw is underway. Things are turning around.
The stars are telling you to look towards the future, and the better things you are working towards when you hit a little bump in the road. Those things are still coming, and the sun will be shining soon enough.

Today's Horoscope Middle of the week bonus
All signs:
The stars know that you can hardly make it through the day without noticing someone crying out for attention or help, especially with social media and such.
We tend to get exasperated or annoyed by it, but the stars wonder why that is. Is it taking attention away from you? Do you feel like just because you're stronger and don't ask for it, that the people who do are somehow beneath you? Are you just a miserable prick?
So if you can provide those things, don't be stingy with that stuff. No one's saying you should save the world, just to take a brief moment to acknowledge someone who needs some acknowledgement, whether you deem the reason worthy or not.
Being kind is so much better for everyone involved than being angry or dismissive ever will be.

Expect the good. Search it out, and if you find some of the bad stuff along the way, fix it or hop over or around it, and stay on course. A lot of the bad things in this world aren't cataclysmic, they are simply distractions and time wasters. It's your decision whether you want to give them that time and energy.
So envision positive goals and outcomes, and start moving towards them. Ask for help along the way, if you need it. That's it.
Most of the time the stars are just reminding you of the stuff you already know, trying to snap you out of it so you can shake whatever distraction you're currently feeding and get back on that path to nirvana.
Start walking.

Today's Horoscope
All signs:
The stars want you to be careful. While you shouldn't live your life in fear and trepidation, don't throw all caution to the wind. We are sometimes reckless, and we take so many unnecessary risks with little chance of reward. Be smart with your choices. Be careful.
That's not really what the stars are talking about, though. Sometimes we are most reckless when it comes to the trust and responsibility to others. As we go through life we form bonds and partnerships. We have people who depend on us.
We find ourselves in positions at times where what we do next can have a significant impact on someone else's life. Be it a friend or lover, a family member, or most importantly, a child. How you react can shape them for the rest of their lives. Something you do or say without thinking can sometimes mean the difference between years of misery or years of success.
Even strangers. Bullying or cruel behavior towards people you hardly know can imprint on their lives or trigger past trauma. What might mean nothing to you could have a huge impact on someone else. We have a responsibility to each other to help rather than hinder.
You also need to be careful when you're on the other end of that equation. When someone offers you help or kindness, do your best to recognize it and accept it, if appropriate. Sometimes we are reckless with love and friendship, and we spite others and ourselves rather than just let someone care.
So when you interact with your fellow human beings, take a moment to make sure that you're not causing more harm than good. To yourself and others. Be rational. Be kind.
Be careful.

Today's Horoscope
All signs:
The world is full of people who want to intimidate and control you. Some of it is real, some of it is imagined. The stars advise you to ignore it either way.
Feeling intimidated by others is common, we all have insecurities, and we end up projecting things on people who aren't really doing anything besides living their lives. We're best served by quelling our fears, and not making our life harder by putting ourselves down because of imagined slights. You probably don't realize it, but there are a lot of people you come in contact with everyday that are intimidated by you. So ignore those feelings, and don't worry about people who aren't really trying to do anything to you at all.
Which brings us to the people who intentionally try to intimidate and control you. Like all people who manipulate and bully you, they are the ones that are insecure and intimidated by you. Once you react to it, you have given them control. You are playing their game. Anyone who has to make you feel less so they feel better is not worth your time.
So the stars advice is the same: ignore them and live your life the way you want. You might find yourself living so happy and free that you intimidate the rest of the world, but that's their problem, not yours. You'll inspire more people than you'll intimidate in the long run.

Today’s Horoscope
All Signs:
The stars think the cruelest trick the universe ever played is the human brain. While it is capable of so much, it is a dangerous and fragile tool. Most people think too much about things that don’t matter, and thoughtlessly blow past the things that do. They end up running in circles and fool themselves that they are getting somewhere, only to wind up in the exact same place.
Many of our actions are based on impulses and reactions left over from evolutionary traits we have long since lost the need to possess. Just when we need our intellect most, it deserts us and leaves us with reptilian fight or flight type of responses, or overrides our common sense to have us choose the wrong thing again for a small hit of dopamine.
One of the most amazing abilities our brain has is to adapt, yet it can’t seem to differentiate between what is healthy and what isn’t, so it is constantly adapting to things that hold us back and harm us. We punish ourselves because our brains tell us to, and they convince us that is the norm, so we keep doing it.
Most people in the world are using their brains without any proper training, or even an owners manual. Each brain is different, so a manual can’t even exist beyond the basics.
Still, most of us manage to eke out a living, procreate, and fill the time between birth and death with some joy, some accomplishment, and a whole lot of misery that we simultaneously create and pat ourselves on the back for living through.
Then the cruelest joke of all. Our brains start losing function. We become forgetful and easily confused. When we have finally figured out a lot of what life has been throwing at us, when we finally have the means and time to simply enjoy life, we start our decline. Worse yet, we could just lose everything in an instant, from disease or random blood clot, a chemical change in our physiology, or simply a hit on the head.
The stars marvel that we have a whole universe living in our heads, each and every one of us. We have possession of the most remarkable thing that has ever existed, the greatest supercomputer devised, yet it is swirling with so much fear and lies, distorted reality and ghosts, that we might as well have the brains of mice.
That’s the gist of it. Back and forth, round and round, ad infinitum. Our brains holding us back as much as they make us free; an eternal struggle as old as life itself. The best we can hope for is to be cognizant of it as it happens.

3/14/18 Stephen Hawking
Today’s Horoscope
All Signs:
The stars think that if you need inspiration, you should look at Stephen Hawking. He was as fragile and flawed as humans can get, yet he still achieved great things. Maybe you’re not a genius, but for all your flaws and shortcomings, the universe has provided you with gifts and abilities just the same.
It’s your job to figure out what makes you special, what makes you happy and fulfils you, and then to go out into the world and use those gifts. You have strengths and weaknesses, we all do, your struggle is to use the strengths to overcome the weaknesses. That’s the simple equation at the root of it all. It takes work, and effort, and trial and error. It isn’t easy. Do you think it was easy for not only Stephen Hawking, but for anyone that builds a successful life?
You can look to the stars for inspiration, as Hawking did, or you can look to the billions of people that have found success and contentment and made the world a better place. Inspiration is all around you, all you have to do is look.
Then someday, before you know it, you’re the one that inspires.
RIP Stephen Hawking, the stars welcome you back home.

All Signs:
No matter how it seems, no matter how bad or cruel or indifferent the world wants to treat you, no matter how big and terrifying everything seems … Well, the stars need you to remember that there is always someone that loves you. There is always someone on your side.
That someone might be family or a friend. It might be a stranger, that doesn’t really know you, but is still kind and caring enough to lend you a hand or some encouragement. It might be a person you drove away.
It might be someone you have wronged and hurt and devastated, simply because you needed to take out all the frustrations and horrors of the world on somebody, and they let you. Even after all that, those people can probably find it in their heart to forgive and understand, and they still love you, even if you think you don’t deserve it.
That’s how amazing and wonderful you are, although we can seldom see it in ourselves. That’s how amazing and wonderful people can be, when you think you’ve hurt them and made them hate you, they can just turn around and love you more.
If you feel you have no one, and that no one can ever love you, that’s more than likely on you, because there are a whole lot of good people, and a whole lot of love in the world.
Go get you some.

Today's Horoscope
All signs:
There are bad days when you feel like you can't do anything right. Worse are the days when it seems no one else can do anything right. It seems like no one can see anything you need, and in fact it seems like they are just out to spite you.
That's usually not the case. People are just wrapped up in their own problems most of the time, and they go through the day with tunnel vision. They also might feel as you do, that no one cares about their troubles or needs, so resentment grows.
The stars hate that they see so many people crying out for help, only to see them fall into the same pattern of bitterness and sadness when they don't get what they need. All of us, wondering why no one seems to care while we blindly disregard what others need ourselves.
The stars watch as we look to the same faces and the same places for understanding and relief, only to be disappointed again and again. If people aren't fulfilling your needs, and have no desire to change, go find new people that can.
Before you do that, make sure you're fulfilling the needs of the people in your life. Especially your own. You can't expect people to be there for you if you're not there for them. And you can't expect them to do the work that you should be doing for yourself.
The world is a messed up place, and relationships are tricky and full of pitfalls. That's how it's been since time began, and still plenty of people have managed to figure it out along the way. You can too. To do that, you need to adapt, and accept that things change. You have to make an effort to be there for those around you, and actively work on being a better person. You need to figure out what makes you happy and what you need for a fulfilling life, and go after those things.
Or you can sit and wonder why you're miserable, and your life is filled with people that don't seem to care. You can feel sorry for yourself, and stubbornly bang your head against the same wall and wonder why nothing gets better.
You can work towards happiness and what you want, or you can deny yourself that, and wallow in the toxic mess you cultivate and wonder why it hurts so much.
The stars can't comprehend why such an easy choice is so hard for you to make.

Today's Horoscope
All signs:
The stars know you lose an hour today, and they know it's for a ridiculous reason. They understand how it feels like there's never enough time in the day, and it doesn't seem fair you steal an hour of your weekend.
They also want you to think about what you would have done with that hour, and what you accomplish with all the other hours you are given.
Time is the one thing you can never get back. Once it passes, it's gone, and history is stamped with whatever way you spent it. Did you get the most out of it? Did you use it to make your life or the world any better? Did it bring happiness, or misery, or more often than not, nothing of any consequence?
The stars implore you, don't waste time. One day, you will run out, and you will regret all those moments when you did nothing and wonder what it was you were thinking. The tears we weep most are for the things that could have been.
