HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

Happy birthday. You choose optimism and curiosity, the attitude that attracts fascinating opportunities. The old alliances may not fully get where you’re going, but they’ll catch up in later months.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): It’s not about trying to will yourself to be more or less active, rather it’s about listening to the needs of your body, mind and soul.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Today, the hypotheticals are even less grounded than usual. Wherever possible, meet up in real life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You’ll get to the goal faster when you include another person in the process.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): You don’t have to be perfect to be loved, liked, included, persuasive, effective or accomplished. You don’t have to be perfect, period.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Throwing money at a problem isn’t usually the best or most lasting solution; however, in today’s case, it will fix things quickly so you can move on.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ve used your talents to do good work. Now you’ll use them for the sole purpose of making someone else look good. They need you, and you need to help. So, it works out.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): While it’s nice to get pumped up with compliments before you set out to conquer the world, it’s better when the boost comes from yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You are connected to someone in a mysterious way. This person shows up in your life unexpectedly and changes the way you think.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): To go directly from here to there is logical and unmemorable. There’s pleasure and usefulness in meandering.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you could do the thing in half the time, it would be better. Bottom line: This task is really taking too long; find another way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When people aren’t telling the whole story, there’s a reason. If you ask directly, you’re unlikely to get the whole truth. Press gently and observe, or wait for unguarded moments to reveal more. This is worth knowing.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Spend as little time as possible with people who undervalue you.
