Fortune Saying: “Never give up; miracles are possible.”

Horoscopes

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

You can forgive, or forget. That makes you wise. You can’t forgive, AND forget. That makes you naive. If something happens once, it’ll never happen again. If something happens twice you can bet your bottom dollar it’ll happen a third time. As an Aquarius you tend to care about the collective, but right now the grass is greener on your side. Water your garden.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

The fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. Remember the beginning? Now look back and see how far you’ve come. What was once a devastating blow has now turned into your greatest catapult. Block out the rustles of the past and the noise of tomorrow, and instead focus on the road in front of you today. Never forget that the journey IS the destination.

Gemini (May 21 - June 21)

Heavy is the head that lays the crown. You knew that already though. This isn’t your first rodeo, and at this point we’re both just beating the dead horse. Instead of asking for a lighter load, you asked for a stronger back. Why when you cry do people ask of your sorrows, but when you smile they don’t ask of your accomplishments? Instead, they call you arrogant as if they have never smiled. Never mind them, Gemini. ‘It is better to be arrogant than to be avaricious.’

Scorpio (October 24 - November 21)

Right now the best advice is to not take advice. What sounds like an oxymoron is actually the double edged sword you need to swing wisely. It’s true, you’re no stranger to getting shit done , but right now it’s crunch time. There are decisions ONLY YOU CAN MAKE. At the same time, don’t create pressure out of nothing. Disregard emotions when making decisions at this time. Intelligence over emotions, Scorpio.

Libra (September 23 - October 23)

Ah yes, life is good. How could you complain? The sun shines brightest when it’s on you. The birds chirp louder around you. The water glistens better when you gaze upon it. Libra, you aren’t glowing. You ARE the glow. In true Libra fashion you’re balancing it all well. You take your punches when they come but you also accept your flowers when given. Ignore those that come to you with negativity when you’re trying to be positive. ‘Birds of a feather flock together.’ A bird cannot fly with a donkey.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Is there more? That’s what you’re asking yourself as you look around. You refuse to settle for less, but don’t let your ambitions be the death of you. Not knowing when to stop when you hit your mark may do you more harm than good. More times than not your greatest enemy is your mind. Don’t fall victim to the only opinion that matters if it isn’t speaking facts. Namaste.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

You are the leader of the zodiac, and that reflects in your everyday life. Playing the back is more of your style, but others prefer you to take the driver’s seat. The universe wants you to know that you’re only as strong as your weakest link. Encourage others to become the best versions of themselves as you cheer them on. Even if they come to you for help remain stern. It’s true that Rome wasn’t built in a day, but neither was it built by one person. Be a leader, not a boss.

Cancer (June 22 - July 22)

‘Who cares?’ It’s the opposite of what you’re known for but it’s SO in. You’ve been going with the flow, and that has been the cause of your cup overflowing. In fact, you’re probably enjoying your season so much you probably don’t have time to read a horoscope. 

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

People love the truth until it’s their turn to hear it. You aren’t in the people please business. If you had a dollar for every time it benefited you to not please someone, wait… sorry. Couldn’t finish my sentence because I was interrupted by your laughs to the bank. Listen, Sagittarius. It isn’t about what you say, it’s about HOW you say it. How can people hear your message if you don’t polish it up for them? Then again, you should just find a Cancer sign and chill on I Don’t Care Island as well.

Leo (July 23 - August 22)

Whether people want to admit it or not, you’re always the foundational friend. You include everyone. Sometimes including everyone can be a bad thing though. When it’s good, it’s good for everyone. When it’s bad… Get it? Stop taking out your frustrations on outside parties. Learn to work on pattern recognition as well. You know what they say. Prevention is better than cure.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

Who can blame you for seeking clarity? It’s been a strange clusterfuck, and a continuous rollercoaster. You’re reexamining everything that means something to you. There’s no room for second guessing where you’re headed. I need you to pause and understand that you’re in a safe space. The tough part if over. This doesn’t mean everything is done, it just means it’ll get easier from this point forward.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Now that the smoke is clear, and the mirrors are broken, you have everyone walking on eggshells. Everything that they said you weren’t? You are that and more. Everything that they said you were? Ending up being them in real time. It’s hard to play charades when the masks fall, but guess what? Not your circus, and definitely not your monkey. Hand posture has changed from middle fingers up to palms out. If you aren’t spitting in their hand pay them no mind. They don’t even deserve a handshake.

TheTripleDeuce is out for a stroll and hears someone rhyming off some space words and hears some birth dates get rattled off

Hey this sure sounds like im an aries!

His ears perked up even more

I guess I am sort of a leader but i dont know about the zodiac, dont think i heard of him before. Ive been a fan of playing the back but mostly just behind closed doors with the proper gal's, the driver seat on the otherhand is meant for my chauffer in the rare case i drive or get driven anywhere I tend to try and get to stepping when I can. I guess I am like a chain that im only as good as my weakest link, but those can be repaired right? weak links? As for encouraging other i wouldnt call my self a cheerleader but I sure do enjoy seeing people succeed. 
 

This has some introspection I must admit that

TheTripleDeuce lights his cigar and strolls off back into the darkness

As he read the magazine slowly he turned the page and glanced up to take a brief look across his entire visual range, looking both up and down the block and across the street making eye contact with his bodyguards spread throughout the crowds. 

The old Don had to be careful these days as there was a price on his head and he knew money was tight for a lot of people because of the economy. Most people were working in large warehouses, offices, assembly lines or out on the railroad trying make a meager living for their family... so the thought of riches would make a man do crazy things.

Nodding his head at the line "Never give up; miracles are possible" he knew he had promises to keep and many miles to go as he searched his pocket for one of his cigars.

I am a Leo but I am not sure I believe in this stuff.. excellent read though.
