HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 29): You’ll make your mark this year and it will be a creative expression of who you are in a most practical form. Many will use and love what you produce. Clarity of vision is your gift in the early year. April and May bring romantic adventure. You’ll fight for the oppressed and win in June. Aquarius and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 13, 28, 3, 38 and 40.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Having trouble letting go of old baggage? Don’t force it. One of the best ways to rid yourself of the heaviness is to seek new, lighter luggage. Get out there and make a replacement memory.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Tired people and hungry people are often grumpy people. Whatever you can do to make sure the basics are covered for you and yours will go a long way toward keeping the vibes positive.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Sooner or later, we all have to part with our money. You may as well have fun with this. So what if you’re overly generous, silly or comfort-focused today? Get what you really, really want.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): When the work (or the entire relationship) seems draining, maybe it’s just because you haven’t found what’s in it for you yet. Figure it out. If you can’t find a payoff, consider a change.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In your brain, you’re going head-to-head with someone and you’re really in no mood to back down. Hey — you’re a human being with an ego to match.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Considering all the time and energy you’ve expended working on a certain knotty problem, it should come as no surprise when you get a sudden craving for freedom and distraction.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): This is an excellent moment to discuss a delicate issue, though you should keep in mind that such talks are best kept brief and indirect. A pointed implication may get the message across.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Your rating with one particular person doesn’t matter as much as you think it does. There is a whole host of people out there who like you, not to mention the ones who love you dearly.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Avoid making generalizations about yourself. You’re made up of many parts. Focus on one aspect at a time. Highlight the thing you like, and work on the thing you don’t.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll have a deep conversation that doesn’t include any profound words or particularly interesting thoughts. In fact, it could be categorized as small talk. But it’s not. Not at all.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t put your self-care off for later, other-wise “later” will never come. Also, taking care of yourself should include more than the basics. Mental stimulation and fun is part of it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): When you hit a dip in your mood, remember: Appreciating others is the quick route to self-esteem. You will always feel good about your kind and fair treatment of the people you meet.
