HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
It takes energy to shore up discrepancies. When you feel one thing but must act in some other way, it creates a gap. To shore up those gaps and present one cohesive personality is the very definition of emotional labor. This is why people you can’t be yourself around are so draining. Ask yourself: What energy is being expended to shore up a discrepancy?

Don’t imagine that those who went before you were any more gifted than you. You never know how or why anyone lands where they do. The important thing is to apply yourself where you stand. A brilliant success will be yours.

LIBRA 23). (Sept. SCORPIO 21). (Oct. SAGITTARIUS 22-Dec. 21). CAPRICORN 22-Jan. 19). 23-Oct.

(Dec.
