Born Today?
A reading for your birthday. Taurus season.
That loss is common would not make My own less bitter, rather more: Too common! Never morning wore To evening, but some heart did break.
Alfred Tennyson, In Memoriam
There are duties you carry that no one ever asked you to take on, and yet everyone around you has quietly come to depend on you handling them. You stepped into the gap because it needed stepping into, and now the gap has your shape. The arrangement works until you realize how much of your own life you have been quietly setting aside to keep other people's lives running smoothly. What started as temporary help became permanent infrastructure, and the people who benefit from your work have forgotten it is work at all. The year ahead will ask you to name what you have been giving away without meaning to, and decide whether the exchange still serves the person you are becoming. Some gaps are meant to be filled, and some gaps teach people to solve their own problems.
