Today’s Horoscope
All Signs:
The stars advise you to always go down fighting. Fighting for what’s right, fighting for what you believe, fighting for the people you love. There is no point to living if your life is one of eternal compromise and capitulation, of caving to things that go against your morals and devour the people and things you care about, along with your self esteem.
Before you start fighting though, you should make sure the things you are fighting for are good and valid, and don’t be reluctant to change your position if the facts merit it. Don’t fight for hatred, or bigotry, or for things that hurt others. Don’t blindly make your stand for things that others have told you to fight for; make sure you examine every issue and your motives. Don’t enable people, or let yourself get taken advantage of by someone you care about when it is their addiction or selfishness that is dictating what they ask of you. Don’t fight for causes that are ultimately hurting you, or people that are innocent. Don’t punch down.
Once you figure out what you are fighting for, give it everything you have. Refuse to allow setbacks to keep you down. Don’t let naysayers and cowards make you abandon your cause. Fight a moral and respectable fight, but keep fighting. Even if you lose, you will never question yourself or forget the fact that you didn’t give in and betray yourself, simply because it was hard or unpopular or scary. You gave it all you had, you will proud of who you are. You will inspire others to take up the fight in your place. You will be stronger, tempered in the fires of righteous battle. Plus, you just might win.
Trust the stars on this one.
Go.
Down.
Fighting.

Today's Horoscope
All signs:
The smarter, more reasonable, logical, empathetic, and moral you are, the more the world will seem like an insane asylum. The more out of place you will feel, and the more you will want to withdraw from it, even as you will want to fix it.
The stars want you to know that you're not alone. There are plenty of people out there who feel like you do, who are cursed with intelligence, the ability to care and love, and brutal self awareness.
The only reason it hurts so much is because you can't ignore it.
You can learn to live with it, though. You can learn to care and to protect yourself at the same time. You can find kindred spirits, islands of sanity amongst the inmates. You can find joy and happiness and comradery and love, because you know it is possible and you know it exists.
If you didn't know it existed, it wouldn't hurt so much in the first place that so many people keep themselves from it.
Go find your joy among the ruins.

Today's Horoscope
All signs:
The stars want to remind you that fairytales aren't just for children. When we get older, we are told to put away childish things. We learn some hard lessons, and we are reminded that happy endings aren't guaranteed and that life doesn't always work out the way we want.
But sometimes it does. That's why fairytales are there, to remind us. That's why all our movies and books and songs aren't about misery and settling and broken hearts. We might even feel foolish when something is lighthearted and simple and sweet, because we're told those things are for children, lies to help them sleep at night.
They aren't lies, and they aren't any lesser than the dark and brutal truths we think we have to face because it proves we're adults. There is room for wonder and kindness, magic and mayhem, princesses and heroes. That's why so many people think of young adult novels and Disney cartoons as guilty pleasures, but love them just the same.
The stars know we need our fairytales, no matter how old we get. The stars know that they can still come true.

Today's Horoscope
All signs:
It's Labor Day, and the stars want to take this opportunity to ask you about the work you are doing on yourself.
Are you working on making yourself better? Are you holding yourself to high standard of craftsmanship, and are you putting in enough hours? Are you providing adequate incentive to get the job done? Are treating yourself well, and compensating yourself for all that work? Are you a productive worker and a good leader?
It is a never ending job, fixing and maintaining yourself, and you are the factory worker, the maintenance man, the janitor, management, and CEO. You are the employee and the boss, and too often we look to shirk our duties. We end up subbing out the work and responsibilities to outside sources, often with disastrous results.
So this Labor Day, the stars suggest you look at your company and check the bottom line. See if all your columns add up, and if you're getting the most out of your workforce and your management. Figure out what's profitable, and where you're hemorrhaging money.
Then get to work and fix it.

Today's Horoscope
All signs:
The stars know how hard it is to let go. They know that everything can remind you of something you would like to forget. Memories of the good times you miss or bad times you endured hurt in an exquisite and precise way. They drag you back, and hold you down. They keep you in a holding pattern, and they taint everything in your life so that nothing seems good for very long.
People leave deep scars on us, in places we can't see and in ways we can't even comprehend. Love and abuse often result in the same types of wounds, and we pick at them whenever they remind us that they still haven't healed. We have questions that will never be answered, not by us, not by God, and most importantly, not by the people who caused us the pain in the first place.
The questions only grow, and we start looking within for blame when we can't reconcile or fathom how anyone could have done what they did to us. So we punish, we lash out, we hide, and we stunt ourselves because we are filled with uncertainty and fear and emptiness.
The only way to move on and accept it and get over it is to let it go, but we can't imagine ever letting go of something so personal and monstrous and encompassing. Sometimes we need help, from friends or professionals, to clear that hurdle we've been stuck on for so long. If not, we fall behind, and that becomes who we are, and we adapt to a half life of diminished expectations, ruled by the past and apprehension.
The stars implore you to get yourself over that bump or hill or mountain, however big it is. It takes time and effort, but it's worth it, trust them. There are so many good things waiting on the other side, and all you have to do is find a way to let it go.

Today's Horoscope
All signs:
Sometimes when you love someone, you get only pain in return. That does not mean you stop loving.
Sometimes your kindness is rewarded with scorn and manipulation. That does not mean that you stop being kind.
Sometimes you care too much, and people might take advantage or let you down. That does not mean that you stop caring.
Sometimes you try to change yourself or the world, and you or other people fight that change and make it difficult, and sometimes you fail. That does not mean that you stop trying to enact change for the better.
There are people in this world who view empathy and kindness as a weakness, and an excuse to use and manipulate people who care. There are people who have been hurt or abused, or just had lousy role models, and they take their hurt and pain out on the people who love them most. There are people who have disconnects in their brain, and can't understand anyone else's circumstances and the injustices heaped upon them if it isn't happening to them personally, so they have no pity or sympathy for anyone but themselves.
The stars are here to tell you that those people should not make a bit of difference in your life and how you treat others. The stars want you to know that no one has the right to make you feel bad about being good.
The stars need you to understand that if you keep doing the right thing, and don't give up on love and kindness and decency, that you will eventually accumulate an army of good and caring people just like you. Then you can let them insulate from the hard truths about everyday life when you need it, and you can reap the rewards of staying true to who you really want to be.
The reward is people like you. You tend to attract people who share your views and actions, so you can do good and attract good people, or you can do bad, and live your life surrounded by liars and thieves and sociopaths. As usual, it all starts with you.

Today's Horoscope
All signs:
The stars want to remind you that it all starts with you. You need to respect yourself. You need to fix the things in yourself that need fixing. You need to demand that the people in your life treat you the way you should be treated. You need make an effort to understand how your government works and how the actions of corporations and institutions affect you and the world around you. You need to ask the hard questions, of yourself, the people in your life, and of every politician, religious leader, news media outlet, spokesman, celebrity, every single thing in your life. You need to face the truth, even when it means you might lose that battle. You'll be armed that much better for the war.
You need to be informed, you need to be rational and realistic, you need to see the world around you and discern truth from fiction. You need to at peace with yourself, and have confidence in what you know to be right, and you can only know what it right by examination and reexamination. There are no shortcuts.
The stars know that all that stuff isn't easy, but in doing it, you are training yourself to think and react better, and it gets easier. You're never going to be happy or content or successful in your relationships or work or just sitting at home reading a book if you haven't achieved those things inside at your core.
The stars also know that most people live their whole lives never really understanding the most basic things about themselves and the universe. They just assume that torment and misery and bad breaks are just the way life goes. They tell themselves that no one is really happy, and the game is rigged. They will come up with a million reasons and excuses why they should never try or care or worry. They can deny and blame and pout.
It all starts with you, and if you're not careful, it can all go bad and you won't even see it.
