Born Today?
A reading for your birthday. Taurus season.
The very nastiest and coarsest, I can't tell you. It is not grief, not dullness, but much worse. It is as if all that was good in me had hidden itself, and only what is horrid remains.
Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina
The promises you made when you felt clearer about who you were become harder to honor when the daily weight of keeping them starts to show its true size. What seemed manageable in the moment of saying yes now asks more from you than you calculated, and the gap between your intention and your capacity has been widening for months. The year ahead asks you to look directly at what it actually costs to follow through on the thing you said you would do, and decide whether the person who made that promise knew something you have forgotten or whether they were working from information that no longer applies. Some promises survive this kind of examination and some do not, but the ones that do become the commitments that define the year rather than drain it.
