HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 29): A bonus in the next 10 weeks is the first sign of a new income stream. You’ll be taken care of and given the treatment you deserve. By June, your social circle buzzes with new energy, and you’ll find your interests changing, too. September’s domestic improvements also help relationships. There’s so much love in your scene! Leo and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 20, 1, 11 and 38.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You won’t know until you take action. The action will be your education. Once you’ve set an intention that you’re reasonably sure is right for you, stop thinking. Sense opportunity, and then move.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Do not doubt in the magical potential of this day. Though we sometimes don’t have control over the ending, the beginning is quite another story. It begins when you begin it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You’ll notice how your emotions seem to change the passage of time. Maybe you can’t control time or emotion, but you can certainly alter the way you experience them with how you focus and what you focus on.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): There are two ways to be free: to have so much of something that you can’t possibly run out of it or to have so little of it that you have nothing to lose.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Though it may seem that influencing others by example is the best way, it may actually be the only way. So be the person you want them to be. There’s real power in that.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll be cleansed — not by some stroke of magic but by the desire to simplify and the will to follow through. The first part is always the hardest. Persist past the early stages and you’ll be golden.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You’re in the mood to create something and then give it away. Creation is so invigorating to you that you’ve a stronger desire to make things than you do to own things.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Some data scientists believe that human behavior is more than 90 percent predictable with a large enough data sample to establish the patterns. Yet you wouldn’t have predicted today’s interesting twist.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): These days, you’re inclined to be of continual service because it just makes you feel good. Don’t worry too much about the “who” part. When you serve your family and friends, you serve your community and your country, too.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You probably don’t want to move today, but thinking about the possibilities will make you appreciate your life anew, while an intriguing future starts to take form in your imagination.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you could move, where would you move to? You probably won’t go there any time soon, but there are elements of this place you could bring into your life now, and the emotional benefits would be fortifying.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): People will do strange things to meet love, worth and identity needs. Though you may be puzzled by their actions, you can relate to the need, and that will help you understand each other and get along together.
FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: The week starts under the full moon in Scorpio — a direct line to our subconscious desires and needs, which may surprise us. After all, things tend to remain in the realm of the subconscious for a reason. Mostly, either they are not significant enough to be a part of our experience or we are not ready for them to happen. But the full Scorpio moon favors a shift in the intricate reasoning system that keeps things down, so be prepared for some soulful illumination.
Most people will focus attention on what’s important if they can be sure of which things really are. Such knowledge is not necessarily innate and can sometimes be counterintuitive. For instance, a seemingly small act of domesticity or self-care may not appear to be as important as some big move to improve your life, yet the simple things, such as making a bed every morning, can actually contribute enormously to your happiness. Such is the practical magic of the Taurus sun. And at the end of the week, with the moon also in an earth sign, wellbeing is tied in to keeping the home clean, the bills paid and the productivity high.
