Today's horoscope: If you feel slighted by someone's inconsiderate actions today, you might choose to sulk about it rather than getting it off your chest. Withholding your emotions can initiate an important process now as you learn a lot about your personal goals by comparing what you have with what you want. Nothing is gained by being angry with yourself for not speaking your truth. Have faith that you will say what's on your mind when the time is right.

Aaah, another horoscope that seems to address my current frame of mind.  Perhaps the universe is telling me something?
