Today's Horoscope

All signs:

The stars want to ask you: what's the point of being in a relationship if you lose yourself in the process?

Some of us take more than we give, and some of us give more than they take. When you're in a relationship, you should strive for a healthy balance of the two.

Being selfless, and loving and supportive is great and all, but sometimes the dynamic can arrive at a place where you are making all the allowances. You are putting all your own needs aside, and your partner is getting comfortable with that. You might find yourself in a situation where you have settled into a role that is of no benefit to you at all.

Some people pride themselves on being “low maintenance”, but everyone needs maintenance now and then. What's the point of entering into a relationship if the person you're with is content to watch you fall into disrepair?

We can get into a routine, and soon you might find that you are not asking for anything that you want out of a relationship. If you are not honest with yourself about who you are and what you need, you will never get those things from another person.

You can lose myself in whomever you are with, always trying to please others and neglecting yourself, all because we have some internal drive that tells us we don't want to be alone.

Don't be afraid to ask for what you need from others, and if they aren't willing to give you that, then you might have to reassess that relationship. Anyone that truly loves you wants you to be happy and successful and content. If they ignore your needs because they are too concerned with their own all the time, if they try to change who you are just because they are insecure with themselves, if they continually put their needs before yours, then something needs to change.

Otherwise, you might find you've lived an unfulfilled life spent in servitude to someone that was happy to exploit your low expectations rather than help you raise them up where they belong.
