Becoming a Solution
Sagittarius Daily Horoscope
Altruistic feelings can prompt you to explore charitable opportunities in your community with great gusto today. Your strong sympathies concerning the potential solutions that have the potential to end suffering will likely be awakened by images of pain, hunger, and injustice. As you explore the rigors of selfless service and learn to integrate it properly into your current schedule and lifestyle, you may discover that you feel pangs of doubt when considering your ability to make an impact on the world around you. Yet you can ensure that your commitment never wavers today by simply having faith in the unchangeable fact that single individuals can bring about change if they believe in themselves.
We are more apt to take positive action against the suffering borne by humanity when we allow ourselves to truly believe in the just and charitable causes that attract our attention. In accepting that the actions of a few individuals can change the world for the better, we inspire ourselves to become part of the solutions operating all over the globe. The scale of suffering that exists will not discourage us as we recognize that there are innumerable individuals dedicated to philanthropy working as diligently as we are to eradicate it. And when we join forces with these people, we can see firsthand how our individual resources and aptitudes can be a real boon to downtrodden peoples throughout the world. The sympathy you feel for those in pain today will inspire you to devote yourself to the cause of eliminating suffering.

Sharing with Your Neighbors
Constructive Connections
by Madisyn Taylor
If you are craving community look to your own neighbors to forge new relationships and build something new together.
Many of our relationships can be fleeting or do not deepen past a superficial level, yet these connections, as trivial as they can seem, often have the potential to grow into something much more essential. When we crave community, we should focus our attention on these casual acquaintances. To forge a bond with neighbors, we need to work together with them so that we have a context from which to begin a more mature relationship. Sharing tasks that are part of living can be a wonderful way to become a part of a larger community, make new friends, and lighten the workloads of everyone involved.
Creating a network of neighbors who agree to pool certain resources and share daily duties can be as easy as taking the initiative. If you are willing to take the first step by reaching out to the individuals and families who share your building or your street, you will likely find that others are receptive to the notion. Starting small, with just a few people, can help you orchestrate a smoothly running system. Together, you will need to decide what chores you want to do communally and what resources can be shared. Ideas for community sharing are child care, errands, housework, keeping a joint garden, cooking for the group, and carpooling. For instance, if you cook large meals for four neighbors once a week, you take off four nights after that. As you grow to trust one another, you can begin adding new members to your evolving network or introducing new tasks to your shared roster of duties.
Actions speak louder than words, so working closely with neighbors to ensure the well-being of the group can be a wonderful way to build a sense of community in your locale. Not everyone you approach will be open to the idea of becoming a part of a network of sharing. As you connect with those who do appreciate the merits of such a system, you will discover that others are just as eager as you are to create interpersonal connections that are defined by substance.
