Today's Horoscope

People are never going to be exactly what you want them to be. You have no choice but to accept them on their own terms. Then you have to decide if that's something you want in your life.
Some people will try their best to be exactly what you want them to be, or at least what they think you want them to be. Often, they will get it wrong and wind up frustrated. Even if they get it right, they aren't being true to themselves, and they will tire of it, and they will break. Some even lie to themselves, and they will not be able to keep up the act for long.
Some will never be what you want. They have been hurt or lied to, or someone has abused their trust, and they will make it a point to never give you anything you want, because that seems like danger and weakness to them. You can spend your whole life waiting for something that never comes.
In the best case scenario, you will find someone who knows themselves, and what they want, and that will be what you want. Still, there will be things you disagree on, and things you see differently. You will respect and trust them, and they will do the same for you. But you will still be accepting them on their own terms.
Even then, who they are and what they want will change, and if you don't grow and change with them, you might grow apart, and you might find the same resentment and heartbreak you so successfully avoided for years.
It is such a minefield, love and relationships. Not just the romantic ones. Friendship, family, work and creative partnerships, all of them fraught with danger. The stars wonder how it is that anyone makes any kind of relationship work at all.
All they know is that it only starts when you learn to accept people on their own terms. The other choice is to live isolated and alone, but that is it's own separate hell.
So learn to be accepting.
