Today's Horoscope

All signs:

It's Friday, and as usual, the stars want to tell you to kick back and enjoy your weekend.

They also want to tell you that they know how it is. They know that there's a part of you that sees the world just a little bit different. They know that there are things you know that no one else could. You couldn't even put them into words if you had to.

They also know that it's maddening sometimes when the rest of the world doesn't see it, no matter how you try to open yourself up, no matter how you try to tell them about something wonderful that they just can't grasp. There's a little thing that seems so important, so cool, so inspiring, but it's all yours and it will remain locked away, waiting until you find someone else with a key so you can share it and finally feel at one with another person.

The stars want you to understand that we all have that certain something inside of us. We all wonder why it's out of everyone else's reach when it all seems so simple.

Some people love their little secret, some resent it; some people find ways to express it, and some people let it drive them mad.

Just remember that, when you're out in the crowd, we are all vessels for something magnificent, all searching for a way to explain the unexplainable.

Today’s Horoscope

All Signs:

The stars want to remind you that you are you.  That might seem like a nonsense sentence, but it’s not.  

You are the same you that got this far in life.  You may have made some bad decisions along the way, you might have a few regrets, but all in all you’re doing a lot better than you think.  You have done a lot more right than you have wrong in your lifetime. You have overcome so much, and not just the things other people know about.  

We all have a place inside where we keep some things that we think no one can see, that no one will understand, and that’s normal. We need time to process grief and trauma.  Plenty of things have gone into that place and we did the work and triumphed over something horrible that no one may ever know.  We have strength and courage that we aren’t even aware of sometimes.

Be careful, though. Unfortunately when you keep things down in the dark they tend to fester and multiply.  Don’t keep them down there forever, unchecked.  Deal with them before they infect all your decisions.  Don’t let that become who you are.

There is another place inside that we never notice until we need it.  This is your core, this is where all the amazing things that make you formidable reside.  Everything you are, all that you’re capable of, comes from here.  It is what all the small and huge experiences in your life have been boiled down to.  Good or bad, these experiences make up you.  It is your character, your strength, the you that takes over and gives you that herculean effort to get through things you never thought you could.

You have done all this, and you are still growing, still capable of kindness, and there are people that love you fiercely, whether you choose to see it or not.  That is an accomplishment, and like so many other things, it was you that accomplished it.  

So the you that you take for granted has done some amazing things, and is there to do so much more.  Have faith in you.  Be proud of you.  Take credit for you. Be in awe of you.  Recognize who you really are, and if there are some things you feel uneasy about, change those things.  There is always time enough, and if anyone can do it, it’s you.

You are you.

Today's Horoscope

All signs:

The stars want to once again remind you to lean on your friends if you're having a crisis, suffering a loss, or just having a bad day. A lot of us feel like we're the one that helps others, and we have a hard time seeing ourselves in the role of the one that needs assistance.

Sure, we can weather the storm alone most of the time, but why do that if you have friends willing to help and listen?

We sometimes think it's noble or shows strength to go it alone and not ask for help, but as usual, the opposite of what our brain tells us is true. It is ego, pride, guilt, or fear driving our actions. Strength comes in doing the hard things, and even though admitting you need help is hard, it is the right thing.

So ask for help if you need it. Let people that love you return the favor when you've been there for them time and time again. Maybe by helping you, it will give them confidence and self worth, and you will both get something out of it. That's not selfish, that's both of you growing.

The stars want you all to realize that we all have strengths and weaknesses, and when we shut ourselves off from each other, we are incomplete and gumming up the works. We are meant to help each other.

Otherwise, why have so many unique people that still all fit together and compliment each other somehow? How do we complete a puzzle and see the big picture if you keep your pieces hidden away?

Today's Horoscope

All signs:

The stars want to let you know that sometimes all the support you need is a little time to think and some of your favorite songs.

So take a break from the rest of the world for a half hour, eat something bad for you and turn up your stereo or ipod or whatever you listen to music on, and let someone else's joy or heartbreak surround you.

It's strange that sad songs often make us feel better when we're sad. Maybe it's because we can relate, and we don't feel so alone. Maybe it's because we feel better to know someone else is miserable.

The stars think it's because when you are down, it's easier to let others sing the things you can't express, or even want to admit are true. Truly great songs are about music and words, and when those two things combine and you can relate to them, it's like someone is talking to a part of you that you forget even exists at times.

That's why we form such a strong bond to music. It isn't really music until it hits our ears and permeates our whole being. It whispers to us in a language we know all too well, but oftentimes can't speak to anyone else. Still, we bond with others over the same songs that often hold different meanings to each of us.

We know every word, every note, every inflection, and it guts us every time, but always in a good way. It might not always feel good, but some good things hurt a little.

So in times of trouble, let your constant companions be there for you. Sing along no matter what you sound like, cry or laugh or dance or get angry, but let it out so you can start to heal.

Sometimes music is the closest thing we have to magic in this world.  Let the music do its job.

8/4/17 Friday Bonus

Today’s Horoscope Friday Bonus!!

All Signs:

The stars want to congratulate you on making through another week.  Go and take some time for yourself and recharge.

The stars also want to remind you not to fall for temporary fixes.

Most people have holes in their lives, and they try to fill those holes with drugs or alcohol, sex or material things.  A million things to dump in a hole.  They problem is, it fills the hole for a moment, but then the hole just gets bigger and demands more. Soon you are a slave to hole maintenance, constantly trying to fill a bottomless pit.

So the stars want you to consider a simple alternative:  rather than maintain a bunch of unmaintainable things, just get rid of the holes.

Now although the premise is simple, the work is not.  You will need to put some effort into it, and you will need to do some real work to figure out why there is a hole in the first place.  It will be so worth it in the long run though, once you have a life with no holes, nothing to self sabotage you, and a lot more free time to be who you really want to be now that you are off of hole maintenance detail.

Today’s Horoscope

All Signs:

The stars want to let you know that life never stops coming at you.  Life is full of pitfalls and challenges, trials and tribulations, that’s just the way it is.  

We often mistakenly think that once we conquer any of life’s little(or not so little) problems that it might be smooth sailing, at least for awhile.  Life is relentless, and there is always going to be something waiting in line to demand your attention or try your patience.  

So life doesn’t change and problems are plentiful, but that’s not the whole story.  As always, you have a choice as to how you react to trouble, and whether or not you even want it in your life.  The older we get, the more experience we have.  We get better at handling the things life throws at us.  We become more efficient in the way we prioritize dilemmas, and the way we solve them.  Every difficulty we face is a chance to learn and grow.

Growth also means that we can recognize patterns, and we can try to avoid the people and situations that keep popping up and dragging us down.  As you get older, you should be looking to get rid of the things in your life that hold you back, or take up precious time and energy with no reward.

So yes, life will keep putting obstacles in your way, it will keep offering you tough choices, it will break your heart.  

The stars want you to accept that fact, and then find better ways to deal with all of it.  Once you start dealing with the things life hands you more efficiently and without excess drama and worry, you will find that those problems aren’t the end of the world. You will feel better about yourself too, because you will marvel at how adept you have become at sidestepping unnecessary pitfalls, and overcoming the ones you can’t avoid.  You will be stronger and wiser, and have the confidence that comes with experience.

You will be that much closer to who you want to be.
