The Cancer horoscope for today reads:

“Your mental faculties continue to be razor sharp now. You have absorbed everything with precision and have successfully withheld your feelings about what’s happening. Today you must say what’s on your mind, as terrifying as that sounds. Don’t let an opportunity slip by without doing something about it. Things won’t improve until you stir up the waters.

I saw it after returning from a lunch break during which I’d let spill the emotional driving mechanism behind my sudden impulse for a non-essential luxury car purchase this past weekend. At least getting this horoscope kinda makes me feel like I’d done the right thing in retching my wretched guts out at lunch.

The amazing part is, I don’t feel too miserable for having done that.
