HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

Happy birthday. A minimalist approach will turn complexities of your life into sources of elegance and efficiency.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You have the suspicion you’re letting a petty fear or belief keep you stuck in a situation. You won’t know specifically what it is until you break.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Emotions involve labor today. It’s a labor to feel them and a labor to express them. All of this is worth it — and so much better than not feeling.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): People have different reactions to things they don’t understand. Some get angry, curious or busy. And what about you? You’ll find out today.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): Easy environments don’t grow strong people. It’s as though the wind and weather (emotional, spiritual or actual) force out deeper roots.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Maybe it doesn’t make sense to resent someone who is just being himself. It’s as silly as endeavoring to hold up the walls in your home, which have been standing on their own for years.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It may seem counter-intuitive, but one of the most important aspects of success is the part in which you do hardly anything. Rest.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You change, and then your conversations change, and that makes you change. There’s no separating cause from effect.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): It’s weird when people seem to get edgy with you when all you’re trying to do is help them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When a magnet is heated up to a certain temperature, it loses its magnetism. The same is true of magnetic qualities in people.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): With your personality, you should find today’s cautionary list easy to bypass.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Because mistakes made in communication can hurt a person’s psyche, you’ll try to understand and to be understandable.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Though it will feel as if you are spending your entire day on the needs of others, some of your own core psychological needs (love, happiness and belonging) are well-served through your efforts.
