HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

Happy birthday. Your brightest ideas will be totally unrelated to what you were searching for. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Taking care of small details will bring disproportionately substantial satisfaction.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): There are a lot of things about your life that you cannot instantly change. That’s why it’s so satisfying today to change what you can.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): There may be a clash between what is said and the attitude with which it is said. Believe the strongest indicator.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): When wishful thinking is dashed, this sets off a minor mourning process. Face it; feel it, and the pain will quickly resolve itself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Think back on past pain and even your best recollection will be a distortion, courtesy of your mental defenses. Don’t let this illusion trick you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A line will be drawn. Is it a path to follow — or a barrier that is not to be crossed?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You sometimes feel like a child pretending to be a professional instead of the pro you are. Rest assured: This is common.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Quiet confidence will be your hallmark today. You’re the sign of mystery, privacy and intrigue.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Who is your audience? Target your market. Know what impact you want to create and on whom.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Listen to what people say when they tell you about themselves. On a related note, there are many secrets that will hide in plain view today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll revel in the attention of a person who really gets you. Try to take this connection in a creative direction.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll keep a cool head while you put out one fire after another. You don’t want to continue spending your days like this, and that’s why you need to figure out who the “arsonist” is.
