Today’s Horoscope

All Signs:
The stars want to remind you of a few things.
Be yourself. If you like something about yourself, or things you create or find funny or touching, whatever it is, put it out there. You’re bound to find other people that get it. That way you’re living life your way and finding your own happiness, and sharing it with the world. When you put yourself out there without apology and with confidence, people notice and appreciate it, and you make the world a little smaller and a lot nicer for yourself and anyone else that feels the same way. If that doesn’t make you understand, look at it this way: You are never going to please everyone anyway. Never. So you might as well live your life the way you want, and please the same amount of people in the process.
It is never too late to redeem yourself. Too often people view redemption as selfish or unattainable goals that rely on other people doing the work or making the sacrifices. That’s not how it works. To redeem yourself, you must change. You must work on yourself. You must fix the things that make you mess everything up in the first place. It doesn’t matter who or what might have hurt you, or left you, or damaged you in any other way. Their part in this is most likely over. Redemption isn’t found by finding someone to blame, or somehow convincing someone to take you back. It isn’t revenge or karma or teaching someone else a lesson. It isn’t about forcing an apology out of someone that did you wrong. It is about you making yourself better, and atonement for your sins, because regardless of what happened, the only thing you have control over is you. Leave the people who wronged you behind, and redeem yourself in the eyes of those you have wronged yourself. Fix yourself, become the person you know you should be, and redemption will be yours.
Figure out how to be comfortable in your own skin. Accept the things about you that you can’t change, and motivate yourself to modify the things you don’t like that you can change. Get yourself in balance and go out and look the world in the eye and stare it down. No one has a right to make you feel bad about yourself, but in reality no one can do that unless you let them. Reacting negatively to petty and cruel things people say or do gives them power over you, and you are the only one that can decide how you are going to react. Some things people do are going to affect you. It will hurt you, it will weaken you, it will scar you, because it is meant to. You have a choice, though. You can take it, and let it rule you, or you can stand up to it. You can ignore it. You can laugh at it and take away its power, and have control over your own life. You can be secure in the fact that no one owns any tiny part of you that you aren’t comfortable giving away.
The stars want you to love yourself. The stars want you to be happy. The stars want you to be complete.
The stars want the same things you want, but they can’t do it for you. Make yourself the person you really want to be. No one is stopping you from doing that but yourself.
