Today's Horoscope

The stars know you are exhausted. They know life keeps throwing things at you with little regard to what it has already heaped upon you already. They understand that it's not enough that you have real and immediate things to deal with, but your brain has to then twist them into more abstract and outlandish fears, as well imagine future problems that don't even exist yet. They know that you are adept at the whole bending without breaking thing, but the bending still takes a lot out of you.
The stars can tell you that it's all going to be fine, which is probably true in most cases. They can tell you that you need to prioritize your problems, and work to solve them in a timely and efficient fashion. They can tell you to make sure you take time to relax and recharge, and remind you that filling your life with distractions isn't the same thing as centering yourself and finding a calm space. They can point out how you're not alone. They can tell you how they believe in you, and how you've gotten this far already, and they believe that with all their might.
All that is true and fine, but it doesn't change the fact that an awful lot of life is spent solving problems and side stepping landmines and hard lessons to learn. What they can tell you is the simple truth we often lose track of: that's not all there is.
Not only is there is all the joy and happiness in between, but in working through our problems and trials, we often find the things that really matter in life. Most of the best people we have in our lives are the ones who walked through that fire with us. Most of wisdom and perspectives we gain is from our setbacks and failures. Many of the treasures we discover are scattered through the dirt and tangled weeds of life we stumble and hack our way through.
So what the stars can offer you is a better way to look at the world. View it as a whole, and see that the pockets of trouble and strife are just part of a huge tapestry of life, and even in those moments, there is still so much to appreciate. Joy and pain, and laughter and tears, can all come at the same time, but if you just focus on one half of the equation, there's no way to solve it. You need both parts to arrive at the correct answer.
