Today's Horoscope

All signs:
The stars don't have to remind you that life is complicated, and full of a million little things to keep track of. They know how tough it is, and how you need to prioritize. They realize that sometimes it takes every bit of your attention just to make it through the day.
So you do that. You try to keep all the plates spinning and balls in the air, and some days it can sap everything out of you. You have the people in your life that you count on, who are there for you, and shoulder the burden with you. Part of the way they shoulder that burden is to tell you to take care of yourself, and not worry about them right now, they can manage while you put out fires elsewhere. They will handle some of the other stuff, and let you concentrate on the rest.
Thing is, there are always new leaks in the dike, and more problems lurking behind the ones you fix. So you just figure that the people in your life can keep on handling things themselves. They are doing alright without you, so if they don't mind, you're just going to take care of a few more things that are kind of pressing right now.
So you drift apart. Maybe not literally. You still might see each other every day, and live in the same house, and be part of the same family. But other things have your attention, and you're spread too thin, and you think that this must just be how it is now. You just assume they will always be there, and you don't need to be as attentive or available or considerate or affectionate as you were when you first met.
The stars want to warn you that it's very easy in these modern times to lose track of the things that matter most. Pay attention to the people you count on and love. Let them know it, and keep some effort aside to expend on them.
If you're not going to pay attention, there is always someone else who will, and you might find that you took someone for granted once too often. If you treat someone like you don't need them, they will assume it's true.
