HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY:

- BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

ARIES (March 21-April 19). When loved ones struggle to find the right way to tell their story, your talent kicks in. You can help because you see things in people that they do not see themselves.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your eyes not only complete the smile, they can smile all their own if necessary. Your eyes may reveal a little more than you intend, if only because there’s so much for your mind to keep track of today.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If your goal happens to be a very popular one, then it’s a perfect day to assess whether it’s what you really want. Very possibly, it’s in the ballpark, but give it more thought to get clear about what would be good to accomplish and why.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Maybe what’s on offer isn’t exactly what you deserve, but forget about that for now. What you need to determine is which available choice is most likely to lead to greater happiness in the future.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). From the Latin word “disciplina,” which means “teaching,” we get the word “discipline.” True discipline, the deep and lasting kind, will be born from education, not punishment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Play when you get the chance, make the joke, try the weird experiment, approach the stranger with a smile and an outstretch­ed hand. These things require confidence and a good mood. You’ll have both.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll soon be hashing out the details of a deal. If you do your homework, you’ll be impressive­ly articulate and persuasive. Take the time to get clear in your own mind about what you want and what you’re willing to trade for it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It will be important to meet your own expectatio­ns. Where you set them, therefore, is key. You want them high enough to help yourself grow, and low enough to let yourself win and stay encouraged.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The ripples that open outward may be gentle yet they affect the distant shore. The same will be true of words. Seemingly inconseque­ntial comments will linger in memory, and ultimately be acted upon.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll be wondering why you agreed to take on a certain responsibi­lity. What it involves is far more than you expected. But what it gives also will be far more.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re looking and feeling somehow more alive. Opportunit­ies will be plentiful, but of course you can’t say yes to everything. Focus this surplus of energy.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Someone close (possibly a Capricorn) wants you to do things differentl­y. You will respect their need to offer an opinion whilst respecting your own need to make choices independen­tly.

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Gifts and favors fill the next 10 weeks. You’ll be the resident bon vivant through the holiday season, with everyone deferring to your taste and asking you for tips about where to go, what to do, etc. After working very hard in early 2019, you’ll hit a rather effortless run of good luck. Taurus and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are 6, 39, 2, 11 and 33.
