HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 1):
There’s much about your current life that you can relax into, and yet specific needs and wants will have you leveraging your current situation into a new adventure. The next 10 weeks bring an odyssey of characters, challenges and environments. Win a prize in April. May features hearts and flowers. Cancer and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 4, 38, 22 and 17.
ARIES (March 21-April 19):
Trying to do everything possible will only deplete you. Hit the top priority. Make a tradeoff, then make another. If you only get one thing done, but it’s your primary source of satisfaction, you’ve won.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20):
You’re not the same as you were yesterday. What’s different about you? This doesn’t have an easy answer, and that’s what’s so compelling about it. The mystery of you is ever-unfolding.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21):
Teenage life is typically wrought with drama, as the skills of emotional coping are in early development. Most outgrow the allure of perpetual drama, opting to apply energy to more necessary adult pursuits. Most. Not all.
CANCER (June 22-July 22):
Time proves that even the greatest innovations, inventions and solutions are but temporary answers. There’s not one right explanation or one correct method that will hold forever. The best answers beg more questions.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):
Would you believe there are people who are daunted by pressures of “having fun,” unsure exactly how (or even why) such a thing should be accomplished? These people need you! Go help!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
As sure as rain makes you wet and food makes you full, perfection makes you miserable. Don’t strive for superior results today. Don’t strive, period. Put your head down, work humbly, and happiness will creep up on you.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23):
Since you’re confident in your ability and secure in your knowledge, you’re not overly concerned about appearing smart or correct or cool. Your nonchalance only makes you smarter, more correct and way cooler.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21):
Some people ask questions to make a point — a move that says, “I’m so right I can even manipulate you to say I’m right.” Be wary of these people, and don’t use the tactic yourself. Ask questions out of curiosity, not arrogance.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
Conflict is more interesting than peace, but most people who are living purposefully find that it’s not worth the energy it takes to witness or take part in it. You’re right to be protective of your precious energy reserves.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
A little mystery doesn’t scare you off. You’re not like the ones who need all to be certain. You realize that it will never be. The constant is change. The essence of life is surprise.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
Options may be added and taken away. But the ability to make a choice will always be yours. When you start feeling closed in by the circumstances, just remember that you can choose. You’re in control.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):
Questions and answers do not a conversation make. Connections are forged with twists, surprises, a sense of play and true and honest sharing. You can achieve it by listening better.
