HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 7). You’ll reach a goal that has been personally important to you for many years. You used to think it would take a great deal of discipline to get there, but you find another route, leading yourself through your curiosities and attractions. This one shining change has transformative power that touches every other area of your life. Pisces and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 32, 1, 19 and 9. ARIES (March 21-April
19). You already know what you want. Now the focus is on figuring out what other people want. In many situations, it’s implied. But when it’s not, you discover just the thing and include it in your deal.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Self-doubt isn’t always a bad thing. In fact, it can be quite useful and is often the mature stance to take. Some actions warrant doubt. A good question to apply: “Who else is this helping?” GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s a type of trust given out of gullibility, inexperience and weakness. Then there’s the trust that comes with clear, wide-open eyes. To know the risks and still invest in another person is trust born of strength. CANCER (June 22-July 22). So many systems and group cultures downgrade the relevance of integrity. You reject the notion and seek others who are on a moral pursuit, the likes of which will never be outdated. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Memory is imperfect. Perception even more so. This is why even though you know where you came from, parts of your personal history still seem mysterious to you. Today, a blank will get filled in.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You set out to show someone how to
accomplish a certain aim but what occurs instead is an unfolding of discovery that you embark on together, teacher and student learning just as much as the other. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you keep your feelings undercover, it’s for a variety of reasons, like to avoid giving away your position or inspiring jealousy. When you show your feelings today, it’s for one reason — you can’t help it! SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). What do competition, pressure, wealth, anger, power, passion and desperation all have in common? They are all states that teach a person what they are capable of. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When the people you love are happy, so are you. Their quests and concerns are your own. The lines get blurry and in some spots are nonexistent. There’s no shame in drawing them anew though. Sometimes, it’s necessary. CAPRICORN (Dec.
22-Jan. 19). Avoiding problems is the name of the game in dodgeball. But in life, it works better when you go on the offensive, meeting the problems with all you’ve got, essentially catching the balls.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Mercy is a better approach than hard justice, not because it’s the moral thing to do but because rehabilitation and improved action is more likely to follow. The soft song of better angels is easy for everyone to sing along to.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You make way for a positive day. At first, it takes no effort at all. Nothing to clear, just start doing you. Then people, media and circumstances challenge you. Employ the fine art of ignoring that which doesn’t fit your positive premise.
