Today's Horoscope

All signs:
The stars want you to know you can't win every time. You're going to have setbacks, you're going to have missteps, you're going to have a couple of catastrophic failures along the way. What defines you is how you let these moments dictate your next move.
Life is scary, and nothing is scarier than the unknown. Every little bump in the road can shake you if you let it. You can then spend your days bemoaning your fate, or playing it safe, or simply giving up. You can become bitter, or apathetic, or take it out on people close to you. You can see it as an excuse to stop trying, proof that all is lost, and you can retreat into the shadows like a coward.
The stars think that you're better off strengthening your resolve and moving forward. When you hit the occasional setback, reset and regroup, and hurl yourself at the problem again. Devise a new method of attack. That might mean brute force, or it might mean tact. It could involve anger and venom, or it might just take love and kindness. Just don't throw in the towel and go home.
Nothing worth doing has ever been easy, or without some losses along the way. You've lost before. You've been hurt before. You've lived through it every time. The lies, the insults, the betrayals, the inhumanity people can inflict on each other.
Still, the darkness didn't swallow us whole then, and it won't now. You control how you will react. You control how the world controls you. You are the final say in what you will accept, and how gentle you will go into that good night.
You can lick your wounds, and then get back to it, or you can go lay down and die. The stars recommend that you get back up, stand tall, and make them sorry that they ever counted you out at all.
Now go get your win.
