So many people think that reality not living up to their expectations is failure, but really, it is often a sign of success. Life shouldn’t look the way you once thought it would.

Going out of your way to check the social media feeds of people who you know will make you jealous or upset. Being subtly addicted to this “high.”

As a Capricorn, you thrive when you have a plan, a routine and a purpose. When you don’t have any one of those things (or you’re not clear about what they are) you end up doing an array of strange behavior, like trying new careers that are evidently wrong for you, dating people who don’t actually care about the relationship, or being obsessive about some topic that you could stand to let up on.

You are the one consuming, choosing and returning to these things. Nobody is holding a gun to your head.

So the sad and crazy thing about Pisces is that they are actually at their optimal functioning when they are experiencing some kind of light inner turmoil. It’s this discomfort that drives them into hyper-creation mode, and they end up achieving more than they ever could have imagined.

One of the biggest regrets most people have about their 20s is that they didn’t enjoy them more. And I’m not talking about “buy more expensive dinners, take another trip to Thailand” type of enjoyment. I mean having the ability to take a deep breath and sip coffee in the morning knowing that you have done, and are doing, your best.

You ask questions, want to explore and have new experiences. You cry, laugh, worry, and feel joy when the moment calls for it. You have regained a healthy range of feeling capacity.

Your idea of Scorpios is probably that they are fiercely jealous and deeply emotional and have a dark sense of humor about it all. But that’s really what makes them such prime life partners.

If you tried to see the good in yourself as much as you do everyone else, you’d change your life forever.

Love is not hard, loss is hard, and it only gets harder when you refuse to accept that someone who is willing to lose you isn’t the one who really loves you.

You’re overestimating how many people are judging you.

You’re thinking through the eyes of other people.
