Today's Horoscope

All signs:
The stars want to take a moment to tell you that they are proud of you. They want to tell you what a good job you're doing. They see how hard you're trying, and they know how hard it is.
Most of us don't hear that enough. People tend to go by what they know, and most of the time what they know is very limited. They judge your actions based on their reality, or progress by their own circumstances. They don't see you achieving anything because they only look at it from their perspective.
Everyone has different advantages and disadvantages, and everyone seems to forget that. People are quick to dismiss your achievements because they never had to overcome the things you had to overcome. They think you're not trying, or not getting it done fast enough, but they have no clue where you are in your development or what you're dealing with.
If people aren't going to empathize with you, then you need to empathize with them. Understanding can't come without empathy, and it doesn't matter where it comes from, it's not a competition. In this case, if you understand that some people are self centered and judgmental, then it frees you from the guilt and feelings of inferiority. Empathy is not a weakness, it is not the blind acceptance of everyone's faults. It is a tool, and in many cases it can help you understand why people behave badly and to dismiss that behavior as having nothing to do with who you are. Empathy can be altruistic or selfish, often at the same time, and each way can be the correct way.
So the stars want to tell you that they are indeed proud of you, for doing what you need to do despite all the obstacles you encounter and the damage you've received along the way. They know that we all grow and learn at our own pace, and that we are all dealing with things that no one can even guess at. There are a lot of different paths that arrive at the same place, and just because they may lose sight of you from their path from time to time doesn't mean they won't see you again at a better destination.
