I'm not the kind to put much stock into horoscopes, but I checked mine today, and it made me smile.

From Real Detroit Weekly.
Cancer: You can't fix everything all at once. Just because you've seen the light, it will be awhile before it starts reflecting itself in your outer reality. For the moment, all you can do is trust the fact that the seeds for change have been planted and try to keep them watered. Don't look for results or think that the results from this will be what you expect it to be. It's not your job to know; you're here to find out. Stay humble and fall in love with whatever the task at hand involves. It is through doing, but even more so by being, that you will heal and grow beyond this.

Wow. Usually, its some vague thing about a long lost lover coming into my life or something, but this one just screamed out to me. Don't get me wrong, I know that horoscopes are mostly self-fufilling prophesies. If you read about said long lost lover coming back into your life, you will probably put yourself into a situation to make it happen. So, I don't take it as a cosmic promise, I take it as a road sign to remind me to keep staying positive, keep counting my blessings, and keep enjoying my life. If there's one thing I learned this year, its that things don't just happen. You have to make them happen. Depression doesn't just dissolve, you have to fight against it every day. It took awhile, but I'm starting to pull myself out of the mud and get back on the track to being happy again. Everything happens for a reason, and my alopecia, plus my joblessness and all the other horrid things that happened this year, are no exception. Eventually, I will get a job again. I know that. My hair might grow back and it might not, but no matter what happens, I know that someday I will look back on this time in my life and know that its over, and that I came out of it in one piece, and that it all happened for a reason. I don't need to know all the whys right now, I'm here for the journey to find out. And I can't change any of it, so I might as well just strap myself in and ride it out.
