HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
Happy birthday. It takes a truly wise and sophisticated person to hold opposing views in mind simultaneously. This is you. You’ll blaze a path with your strong yet open mind. The world needs you: That’s not an overstatement. You’ll change lives, including your own, as you follow your principles and your creativity this year.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): You think you know your strengths and your flaws. Just don’t take these to be fixed features of your personality. They will constantly change. Stay open to the possibilities.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): People want to share with you, and this will open you up. Just be careful not to tell too much too fast. Let relationships unspool, but keep some tension on the line.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Romantic love can so easily disappoint. You’ve even given up on it a few times. Take heart and keep the faith, but do all you can to fortify and love yourself while you wait for something dazzling from the other person.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): Your ancestors and friends from beyond are helping you now. If you don’t believe that the unseen forces can assist your destiny, you’ll change your mind after today.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll give the painstaking attention necessary to let the other person know you’re serious, but only in spurts. This shouldn’t be a constant in the relationship, especially not a new relationship. If it is: red flag.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Initiate, negotiate and seal the deal. It could happen by the end of the day. It could even happen all within a few minutes. When two people have strong mutual interests, and the benefits suit both, it will take no time at all.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Keep your body occupied so your mind can work on the tough problems, get creative, run free and wild. Manual labor will be excellent for this, or repetitive, boring exercise.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Posting opinions isn’t the same thing as sharing personal experiences. Bringing your heart and feelings to a conversation will have real power. Social media posts — not so much.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Bottom line: What’s going to help you more than anything is learning some new techniques for dealing with stress. The easy ones may have lost their power. Peace and novelty will go together. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Good timing isn’t really a matter of chance now. It has more to do with listening to your environment and the people in it and responding with a mix of intellect and instinct. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): What is the good part of this? It’s the question of the hour, and the next hour and the next. This question is a frame. Keep asking it and your day will form a pretty picture inside of it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Avoiding work will be so much more work than doing the work. Dive in. Or call a friend who is good at pushing you in. Once this greasy little job is over, your good mood will be unstoppable.
