HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
(Feb.1). Your heart will be so open this year. Feelings will jump off of media, people, even objects and have such an impact on your experience. Also notable: Your private life will be fascinating to outsiders. You may consider writing a book, and it would be well received. You’ll be asked to speak and council. Leo and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 40, 12, 3 and 9.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
The brain is a master predictor. This is why it’s so annoying to hear half a conversation. It involuntarily busies other people’s brains to solve a puzzle that will never be solved.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You learn so much by being involved with people. It’s something that can’t be duplicated. As much as you dream of a hassle-free existence, the hassle is, so very often, the whole point.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Boredom will cue you to do something different. Take the hint or boredom will develop into something quite different, for instance: irritation, anger, frustration and resentment.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Because you are genuinely enthusiastic about seeing others succeed, you’ll support those around you and make them feel loved. This excellent karma will soon swing back to embrace you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Life works like an Amazon wish list. If you want something, and make it specific, public and convenient for others to give it to you, then you are very much more likely to receive it.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
The void of longing is a tough one to fill, as it only wants the thing it longs for. Try shoving some creativity into it. That is at least moldable. It gives you something to work with. It’s involving; it will do in a pinch.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Fear can be as specific, innate and uncontrollable as eye color. Don’t berate yourself for feeling afraid, even if others are not afraid of the same thing. Your wariness may actually be owed to having greater intelligence.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
People can be really patient when they know that, at the end of the line, there’s going to be the exact thing they want. It’s the uncertainty about that end result that causes a lot of anxiety. How can you make them more confident?
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
“When everybody is somebody then nobody is anybody,” said the operetta writer W.S. Gilbert — right on all accounts. Everybody is somebody, and if there is any significance here to be had, it is by the lot of us.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
This one is coming straight from the muses. To be truly brilliant, you can’t be thinking too much about what you’re doing. That interferes with the tunnel. Just let it come through you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Wherever the stuff was, there’s usually more there. Go back to the source; repeat what’s worked. Save the thing that didn’t work, but you still have a feeling about it. You’re usually ahead of your time, after all.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
In equations of travel, weight is a significant factor. If you want to go high or fast or gracefully, you’ll have to lighten your load. Whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it.
