Today’s Horoscope

All Signs:

Yesterday was Labor Day, and the stars took a well deserved day off.  You deserved the day off too if you work for a living.  Chances are you work very hard, and your parents and grandparents  toiled everyday to make a better life for their children.  There is a certain pride that comes with a hard day's work.  

We tend to worship the rich and powerful in this country, but the stars realize that no rich and powerful people got that way on their own.  They got there on the backs of the little man, working in their factories and mines, and buying their products with their wages.  

Labor is vital, whether it is the aforementioned factory workers or miners, or salespeople, programmers, in the service industry or office workers, construction workers, craftsmen, anyone that works for pay really.  

The men in control look down on the worker in many ways.  They rely on them to make and buy their products, or provide services to the rest of us, and still hold the poor and middle class in contempt.  They strip our rights away any chance they get, and take more and more wages and security from us everyday.  Chances are they resent having to give you the day off.

They use their power to corrupt the system, to squeeze the working man to pay for their tax breaks and increase their wealth and stranglehold on the economy, on a global scale.  They use their influence and power to make us blame each other for the country’s ills, and laugh and count their money as we squabble amongst ourselves.  

The stars don’t begrudge anyone their prosperity, and they realize not every person that makes a good living is a crook, but they want you to know that to become truly wealthy and powerful you have to care about wealth and power more than anything else.  The powerful can only have that power if we give it to them, and many of us are more than happy to hand it over.  

As with everything, know your enemy.  And if you work for a living, demand what you are worth.  Their would be no tycoons, no moguls and captains of industry, no plutocrats without you and your contribution.

People will try to make you feel small and insignificant for being a lowly worker, but remember that they wouldn’t be doing that if they weren’t afraid of you and trying to control you and keep you down.  Never feel shame for putting in an honest day's work.  

And if you ever do, keep in mind that there is no holiday in honor of billionaires.
