Today's Horoscope
All signs:
The stars want to tell you that with most things in life, there are no great answers.
There are very few moments where everything coalesces into some perfect, life changing event. Even if they do, the exhilaration is short lived. Mundane life takes over again, and you often aren't left with anything lasting, just a sad feeling of loss and unrealistic expectations.
There are no simple formulas that guarantee that if you do the work you will get the reward. Everything from other people, the weather, or just an instance when you turned left instead of turning right will send everything reeling.
Life is a combination of hard work, small epiphanies, and a good amount of luck. It is full of frustration and mayhem and tragedy to go along with all the joy and happiness. It is setbacks and heartbreak, and some of the bad things you will have to endure alone.
That doesn't mean it's all for naught, quite the opposite, in fact. You can find joy in most anything. Just overcoming tragedy brings accomplishment. Don't downplay that, you earned that sense of pride. We meet others on our journeys out of darkness, and sometimes forge deep friendships in the process. We learn, we grow, and self esteem can be mined out of any experience that moves us forward, even a little bit.
Just the day to day grind of living affords us countless rewards. They are there if we look. The choice is ours to seek out the negative aspects of existence or the positive. Herculean efforts rarely produce huge rewards. Usually they are just a huge effort to right the ship or stay the course. You can't get everything you want overnight, no matter how hard you try.
We are so busy looking for these grand answers and storybook endings that we sometimes miss all the wonder and love we've earned. Life is about reasonable effort and small rewards, to savor and keep with you. There are no shortcuts to love or happiness or success.
The stars want to remind you that you are made up of atoms, trillions of infinitesimal particles that all go into making you. Your life is the same thing. So many small victories and defeats, risks and rewards, hard work and dumb luck, all coming together to form the arc of your lifetime.
Enjoy each and every one of them that you can, because more than likely that's all you're going to get. And isn't that enough?
