Today's Horoscope Monday Bonus

If you feel left behind or marginalized by new ideas and progressive thinking, maybe you need to update your worldview.
If you feel threatened or attacked by people calling out bad behavior, maybe you should look at your own behavior.
If you feel like giving other genders or groups or races more rights somehow diminishes your gender or group or race’s rights, you might want to think about why you see yourself in those terms, and why you are afraid of giving up any of your perceived control.
If you can’t have sympathy or care about, or even view the plight of people worse off than you without feeling angry or aggrieved, you might want to work on your empathy and your own insecurity.
If you are resentful of people who just want to make the world a better place, or share their gifts and knowledge, you might want to work on feeling better about yourself and being more open to good things rather than threatened by them.
If you would rather be told what you want to hear rather than look into things that might alter your viewpoint, maybe you should open your mind and expand your horizons instead.
The star’s whole point here is that a lot of our behavior is guided by some warped sense of self preservation and need to reinforce whatever it is we’ve come to believe, and we will engage in all kinds of self-destructive and detrimental actions to do it. It takes work to actually think and form independant ideas. It takes work to challenge what you believe, and force yourself to see all sides of the story. It is sometimes quite an effort to simply do what’s right and healthy and good for us, and the people around us. It is hard work to live in the real world, and not one that you created and try to maintain to make yourself feel safe.
The stars think you should do that work, because more often than not, it’s easier than holding together some backwards and messed up world that doesn’t even exist.
