Today’s Horoscope

All Signs:

The stars realize that humans want to belong, to be part of something, to be accepted. People want to belong to a tribe, and that’s ingrained in our DNA from the time we were living in the trees.  It is a strong urge, and few can deny or ignore it.

The thing is, many times people will conform to the tribe rather than wait for or form their own that better fits their personality or desires.  Part of that problem is that most of us are not leaders, most are content to follow.

So often what happens is some charismatic or divisive or egomaniacal person will come along and one or two of their ideas will seem to jibe with yours.  The next thing you know you are in a tribe, and that tribe doesn’t accurately reflect who you are.  That doesn’t matter anymore.  You are who you associate with, at least that’s the perception, and perception is all that matters in most cases.

Worse yet, you may start to become the person that fits that perception.  Many of us want to go along, and many of us are easily convinced.  Many times we are not even convinced, we are just afraid of speaking our mind and appearing different and we won’t risk becoming an outcast.

Then you will find you are leading a conflicted life, or worse yet you will block all those thoughts out and not realize what you’ve become at all.  You will sacrifice who you are at your core just so you fit in.  Like anything else, once you start doing that it becomes easier and easier.  You should be aware that sometimes a tribe is made up of just two people, so if you’re not the leader you’re the lowest person on the totem pole.

The stars want you to be careful of who you associate with and who you follow, so pick your tribe carefully.  Better yet, be yourself and live the way you want to live.  

You just might find that the tribe forms around you.
