Today's Horoscope

All signs:

Today the stars want to talk to you about love.  Again.

You might be one of those people that feel you have wasted a lot of your love on the wrong person. You have been there for someone, you have gone above and beyond what anyone could expect.  You have loved unconditionally and unselfishly,  and you have given them one of the greatest gifts anyone could give another human being.

And then they threw it all away regardless.

Few things in this world sting more than that.  It feels like the ultimate betrayal, a feeling that you have done everything you could, been the best that you can be, and then it was confirmed that it wasn’t enough. You weren’t enough.  All that effort, all that time, all you gave until you were completely drained, all wasted.

The stars want you to know that love is never wasted. Maybe you feel you didn't get anything out of it, but someone does, whether they tell you or not.  Whether they see it eventually or whether they never will.  They know in their hearts that somebody loved them, and that little bit of light in their dark soul keeps them hanging on.  Perhaps it keeps them afloat until they figure it all out and start their way back to happiness.

Most people that walk away from love have deeper issues going on inside them.  They are damaged, they are broken, and they hate themselves more than you ever could.

So don’t hate the person you loved more than anything.  Don’t play their game and tell them how disappointed you are and how horrible they are after all.  Why destroy what the love you gave them brought to their lives?  And if you loved them as much as you say, they must have given you something very special.  If you truly loved them, walk away, but walk away being the better person and learn from your mistakes.  The only other option is to spend untold time questioning yourself and tilting at windmills and what might have been.  You will only suffer, that is a fact.

The stars want to remind us that we have all been on the other side of that equation. We all have wasted the love someone else gave you, and you know it. But it made you think, it made you feel, it may even have filled you with regret. You had your reasons, but sometimes in bed late at night, those reasons seem foolish and you wonder just what you might have done.  

But someone loved you, and whether you reciprocated or not, the fact remains: you are lovable. Maybe that’s enough to make all of this ridiculous game we all keep playing worthwhile.  It’s not likely to change any time soon, so we should take whatever we can from it and move on, growing with each lesson love hands us, no matter on which side we end up.

And so we go on, shuffling this love back and forth between us, surprisingly careless with such a precious commodity
