Daily Horoscope
Today's horoscope says:
You'll witness an ugly exchange between two people you respect today.
One of them feels more deserving of the praise the other one received.
You know what it's like to feel overlooked, so you could be useful in helping heal the bruised ego in this situation.
Make a subtle overture of support, but don't step right in and start telling people what's what.
Offering your help is all you can do -- you can't make people accept it.
Yeah, lead'em to water and all that ....
