Today's Horoscope

All signs:

The stars always tell you to share, and tell others how you are feeling and what you are dealing with. That said, they do realize that some people aren't comfortable speaking their secrets out loud.

Some people were taught not to let anyone know what was going on with them. They were told to keep everything inside. That might have been deliberate, drilled into their head by well meaning but paranoid parents, or imparted the hard way, by abusive people that cowed them into silence. Or perhaps they were made to feel that they shouldn't bother others with their problems, and they feel guilt or shame talking about their troubles.

Whatever the reason, the stars want you to realize that you possess a bunch of senses and deductive reasoning. If you pay attention, you can figure out when something is going on in others lives, even if they don't spell it out for you. Be alert, and be an active participant in the lives of people around you. Take a moment to notice people's body language, the cadence and rhythm of their voice. Read what they post on social media, and notice where it's coming from. Look at them when they speak, notice things like personal grooming, nervous tics, if they are preoccupied. Watch for drastic or subtle deviations in their actions and life choices.

If you take an active role in people's lives, you can be there to help before things get to crisis mode. You can also protect yourself, because people in crisis mode lash out or make poor decisions that may involve you and put you at risk. You might be able to stem potentially disastrous situations with your spouse or children. You could save a life.

At the very least, you can make others feel like they're not alone, and that someone cares. Because we should all care. The stars want to remind you that it's not a one way street either. You should have people in your life that take an active interest in your well being.

The human race and civilization works best when we are watching out for each other and caring for each other. The stars love us all, but they can't for the life of them understand why we haven't figured out that simple truth in all this time.

They still have faith, though, and they still see some good signs and lots of potential, because they are paying attention. You should too.
