Today's Horoscope
The signs want to remind you that you are a warrior. Just managing to survive in the world today takes a huge amount of strength and courage. Not to mention, you come from a long line of warriors who had to survive the hell that came along with their own times.
The more aware we become, the smaller the world gets, and the more we are forced to deal with. We are part of the digital age, of an age of reckoning, of an age of turmoil and the anxiety that comes with all the change and progress we are experiencing; all of it takes its toll. We are stretched so thin, while all around us psychopaths and greedy monsters try to siphon off everything we have.
We are trying to figure out a whole new way of life, while others try desperately to cling to a life they knew that has passed them by. We are living in a world where there are wars, big and small, on every front of our lives. Some we are directly involved in, some we can only watch, nervous and impotent, and there are many that we don't even know exist until we feel the effects of the outcome.
Regardless, you are a warrior, and warriors don't shrink from battle. Warriors don't give up, warriors don't let fear stop them. Warriors keep fighting, even when they want nothing more than to lay down their weapons and go home, but they know so much is at stake.
So through all the stress and anxiety and sadness and terror, you will conquer it in the way you always have. Nothing's ever been easy. You've had to fight since the day you fought to draw your first breath. You will keep fighting, and you will win, maybe not every battle, but more than enough to make life worth living.
The stars want you to remember as well that you are not going into battle alone. Everyone you know is in the fight, we are legion. So accept help when you need it, give help when you can afford it, and don't ever stop pushing forward.
The stars know you are a warrior, and they believe in you.

Today's Horoscope
Sometimes, you're afraid to let yourself be too happy, because you fear that you're just daring the universe to take it away from you. You don't even want to admit it, because it's going to jinx you, and it will all come crashing down.
That's normal, but it's not right. Your brain is just searching for patterns because it is terrified of the random nature of life. That's why so many things seem worse than they are, that's why we see some deity's hand at work in the machinations of life, that's why we ache for control when so much of it is just a coin flip.
The stars are here to tell you that the universe is just letting it all play out on its own. Nothing is rewarding or punishing you indiscriminately. There is no great tally being kept that dictates what you get out of life.
There is only you, and you can choose to enjoy the good things without dread, and deal with the bad things without unnecessary shame and guilt. The only thing stifling your joy and amplifying your misery is you.

Today's Horoscope
The stars want to remind you that you are living in very polarizing times. People always want to label everyone and put them in their appropriate box, because that's what the human mind does. It looks for patterns, it identifies, it sorts. It tries to take the quickest route to understanding and categorizing the situation, and match it to what it knows.
Unfortunately, the human mind is also complex and unique, so many times we get sorted to a box or file based on one or two traits or beliefs or opinions. We are unfairly judged, and we are labeled based on just one facet of who we really are.
The point that the stars want to make is not that we should be more careful about how we come across. It is not that we should stifle who we are, or second guess every move when someone is watching. It's not even that we should take the time to really know someone before we judge them, although that would be nice.
No, the point the stars want to make is that no matter how hard you try to please everyone, or make sure that everyone sees every side of you, it won't really make much difference to most people. So the stars encourage you to be you, as much as you can. If a bunch of people who don't really know you are going to make snap judgements anyway, then don't let that fact inhibit or affect who you are.
The only way you can show people who you are is to be who you are, all the time, regardless of whether or not they want to understand it. The right people will get it. So live unapologetically true to yourself, and let them stick their labels wherever they want.
You know different, and that's what matters.

Today's Horoscope
Life can sneaky. As you go along, responsibilities mount, and everyone and everything seems to take a little piece of you here and there.
Your relationship, your kids, your friends, your family. Not just the people who love you, but somehow people you find yourself saddled with and you don't even really know why they're in your life to begin with. You accumulate a bunch of hobbies or TV shows, activities or subscriptions, that all eat away at your time and money.
You have hyperbole and sensationalist noise bombarding you constantly, hucksters and doomsayers sapping your will and energy, along with your rights and your bank account. There is a lot to keep track of, and a lot of it that doesn't even matter; it's just a distraction, or a way to trip you up.
You find yourself happy to make it to the end of another month. Then another week. Then another day. You start to live your life from milepost to milepost, like it's something to survive, to just get through. It happens so slowly, so you don't even notice it. It is insidious, the slow and relentless grind of staying alive.
That's not how it has to be. Life is not just something to crawl through, pelted by boredom, abuse, and misery. We are not weeds on the tundra, or reptiles in the desert, scrabbling for purchase, existing just to exist, and propagate our species while maintaining a tenuous foothold.
We are blessed with minds capable of abstract thinking and great innovation. We possess creativity, engineering prowess, complex mathematical computations, and the physical skills and ability to put into practice what we conceive. We are meant to thrive, to grow, to reach. Our lives are supposed to be lives of accomplishment, of achievement, of wonder and joy, yet we find ourselves ground down to creatures of habit; drones who check off the same few boxes every day in our quest to survive until another sunrise.
And our beautiful, amazing, one of a kind minds seamlessly adapt to that life. We work for the weekend, we engage in the same activities over and over, hoping this time they bring us fulfillment and satisfaction, even though it hasn't come close yet. We look to the same people to suddenly walk through the door one day and treat us better, or notice us more, or give us that thing they've been withholding from us.
All that time spent wasted, while we could have been chasing our dreams, or doing what we really wanted, rather than finding yet another distraction to free us from the burden or responsibility of being in charge of our own lives.
The stars tell you all this to make you aware. To shake you out of your sleep. To demand more of yourself, and the people who love you. Every moment of your life is an opportunity, a chance, not some unit to check off and move past in some relentless drive to the finish line.
Do you even know where the finish line is? It's not always bed at night. It's not always Friday at 5 o'clock. It's not graduation or marriage or retirement. The finish line moves constantly, and is usually a lot longer off than you can even conceive. You spend your whole life on the journey, yet focus on small moments at what your perceive to be an end.
The stars think you should be getting more from the journey.

The stars want to remind you that when you are dissatisfied with your life in general, no material thing is going to turn out to be anything but another disappointment. You can't fill the holes in your life with possessions, drugs or alcohol, sex, food, or anything else.
Don't just throw things in the holes, fix the holes.

Today's Horoscope
The stars want to remind you that you should not settle, at least in the things that really matter. So many times people do things because they feel like they should, or because society dictates it. They wind up unhappy and unfulfilled.
Take relationships. There are so many times that people get together or get married because they think that's what they should be doing, or they don't want to be alone. They sometimes have children for the same reasons, and end up resenting them or ignoring them.
They do the same thing with their jobs, and truth be told, with so many other aspects of living, that one day, they find themselves trapped in an empty or frustrating life. Then they reach an age where they either just give in completely, or blow up their lives entirely, leaving a lot of bitterness and heartbreak in their wake. Your decisions are going to affect other people, so you shouldn't take that responsibility lightly either.
Like the song says, “you can't always get what you want…” The thing is, getting what you need isn't just automatic, you have to work at that as well. Unfortunately, a lot of the most important decisions you make in those areas are made when you are still figuring out just who you are and what you really need.
So try not to settle. Not at first, not at the end. Figure out what you want and what you need before you start, or you just might find yourself stuck or lost or miserable, with many of your options taken away from you. Then you might find that settling isn't even your choice anymore.

Today's Horoscope
The stars want you stop punishing yourself for other people's bullshit. Bullies don't attack you because there is something wrong with you, they do it because something is wrong with them. People you love and trust don't leave you or betray you if you're treating them right because you are bad or unlovable; they do it because there is something lacking in them.
Most of the doubts and insecurities we have are put there by other people, because of their own doubts and insecurities. People are very easily confused, and they wind up destroying the good things in their lives, while running headlong towards the bad things. Their brains trick them, and lie to them, and they go along with it, rather than question themselves or authority, or even their friends and family.
So chances are, you might be a really wonderful and amazing person, and as much as it goes against everything your brain tells you, you need to demand to be treated like one. Because the sad truth is that the easiest way for most people to feel better about themselves is make someone else feel worse.
The stars need you to know that it's not the way it's supposed to be. You don't need to suffer so some jerk can feel better about how much they hate themselves. Let your self image be based on who you really are, not some twisted reality of what some damaged soul needs you to be.
