HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

Happy birthday. Meet-ups, family connections and professional alliances are part of your social luck in the next

10 weeks. A change in what you offer (perhaps from new training) will help you make a dream come true in November and an important deal in June.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Being constantly up for critique is a grind, but this is a direct result of being known, significant and integral to the lives of others.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll take on new challenges and could really use a coach.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): An ancient part of your brain wants what it wants — now. It’s irrational and extremely strong. Success depends on your ability to trick it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): Should you punish yourself for a mistake? Harshness might motivate you in the short term, but in the long term it would do the opposite.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You know what you want with great clarity and detail. Visualizing it again and again will help you prevail in weak moments.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Get on your own side. It’s especially important on days like today, when you take on something new.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You can’t eat love. But with a degree of contentment and care, you will be resilient enough to figure out how to make money.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): The past is what got you here; its bad parts are over. Bless it and leave it. Better days are ahead. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The desire to feel special is understandable, yet no one should have to feel superior to feel worthy of respect and love.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your suffering won’t lessen if you’re hard on yourself. Try self-compassion instead. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Accept yourself with an open heart. The constant need to assess how you’re measuring up is exhausting and benefits no one, least of all you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The correct action may be difficult to discern right now. Think of doing what’s helpful and useful instead of merely what’s correct.
