Today's Horoscope

All signs:
Sometimes life is simply a matter of keeping a tiny bit of momentum going while you try to outlast whatever misery you're experiencing. The stars know that's boring, and frustrating, and really doesn't seem very helpful. It is actually one of the most helpful things you'll ever hear.
Life is a long, slow march through some really tough terrain. Sometimes it's harsh and painful, sometimes it's desolate and lonely, but mostly it's just repetitious and mind numbing. It's work, and the best you can hope for is that occasionally there's some level ground with a path you can follow.
Life isn't about the actual walking, though. Life is about everything around you as you pass through it. It's about the people that share your journey, for however long they're with you. It's about the things and experiences you find along the way. That's where the satisfaction and love and joy reside. Not all of it is happiness and unicorns, but that's why you have the ability to keep walking towards someplace else.
When you get to one of those spots where the ground is uneven and the scenery is bad, you always have the option to move on. You might have to climb, you might have to struggle, but there's always a way forward. We tend to stop when the going gets tough, and we linger longer than we should, hoping the view changes itself, or we see something we missed the first hundred times. Maybe we are hoping someone else comes down the road and fixes it for us. That seldom happens, and even when it does, someone can only carry you so far before they get exhausted and weighed down too.
So if your life seems empty or unfulfilling, or if things aren't working out where you are, move on. Your long walk very rarely has one set course. You're free to wander wherever you want to, and as long as you have that option there's really no reason sit and rot where you are.
The stars recommend you start walking.
