Horoscopes

Aries (March 21-April 19): You can either order your tasks by priority or sit back and watch them order themselves. Either way, you’ll get it all finished eventually, so there’s no need to worry or fret. Breathe, and take it one task at a time. Taurus (April 20-May 20): Momentum is working in your favor. You are busy, and you’ll get busier, but it’s all a great pleasure because of the people you get to interact with and the way this job brings out the best in you. Gemini (May 21-June 21): You don’t need an excuse to follow your whims and dreams, but the people who don’t understand will make you feel as though you must have one. Ridiculous! It makes you happy; that is reason enough to do it. Cancer (June 22-July 22): There are moments when you really do feel at one with it all. To be peaceful is to be nothing and everything at the same time — made of the same stuff as the star, the planet and the space in between. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You don’t want to trust that you’re being told the truth. Neither do you want to merely believe it’s true. You want to experience it, to feel it in your bones and live it. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t worry; it’s not really up to you to define yourself. People will come up with their own thoughts and feelings about the experience of you. You’re more loved than you could possibly know. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You appreciate your many freedoms, but none is so cherished today as the freedom to escape to your imagination and continue to build a heavenly playground there of your very own. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): There are those who look up to you. You wish they wouldn’t put you on a high pedestal. You strive for humility and relatability. (And yet, to the ones you idolize, you want to be seen as interesting and remarkable.) Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Creating order puts you at ease. Things aren’t even that messy, but you’ll still benefit from taking them to the next level of organization. You’ll get a disproportionate boost of cheerful energy from the task. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You accept who you’ve been. The new you, the deeper you, the you that includes ideas to stretch and challenge the old definition — this person is harder to accept, but when you do you’ll be more powerful.

Seeing the path before you clearly is typically the way you prefer to roll. But today you might actually get quite bored of knowing where you’re headed. The path will wind, and you’ll enjoy the adventure in this. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Loving another person profoundly is its own wondrous adventure. “The personal life deeply lived always expands into truths beyond itself.” — Anais Nin

To write to Holiday Mathis, visit www.creators.com/ author/holiday-mathis and click “Contact.” DEAR ABBY >> I am a gay man who has been dating a divorced man for nine months. I’m 25 and he is 50. He was married to a woman for more than 20 years and has three children. (I am the age between his middle and oldest children.) We met one day and have never been apart since.

It started great. We had a connection I had never experienced before I met him. He was let go from his job, and I supported him for some time. He finally found a job in Georgia, and I am left in New York.

I made plans to move there with him, but I’m nervous about it. First, because I have never been in love before and I’m not sure if he’s as in love with me as I am with him. Second, he cheated on his wife with a man my age. The guy left him right before he met me, and I’m not so sure he is completely over him. (I know they are still in contact, but he has never lied about it.)

I’m worried he might cheat on me too, or worse, give his ex another shot, and I’ll be left on the sidelines. What advice can you offer me? — Wants to make the right

move

DEAR WANTS >> Do nothing drastic right now. Pay him a visit. Without committing yourself, take a look around to see if Georgia might suit you.

You say this man hasn’t lied to you. While you’re there, ask him whether he would give his ex another shot if the man were willing. However, don’t prejudge him because he was unable to remain faithful to his wife. Like some gay men who come out later in life, he may not have fully realized that he was gay until some time after they were married. It happens.

DEAR ABBY >> I work in a company that has small offices. Although most people have their own office, I share one because I was the last guy hired.

I have one co-worker who I really like, but he has a serious problem. He — and his wife, I suspect — don’t do laundry. This results in him having serious odor. When he comes into my office or I have to go into his, or even walk by his door, the smell is seriously rank. How do I tell him or his superiors about this issue?

DEAR HOLDING >> Go to your supervisor and explain the problem. You should not have to counsel the offending employee; the boss, your supervisor or someone in human resources should do it. If the problem is as severe as you say it is, it probably won’t be the first time they have heard about it because others will have noticed it and complained, too.

DEAR ABBY >> I have a new neighbor, and after meeting just once, she declared us to be “great friends.” I work full time and she doesn’t, so anytime I’m home she wants to get together. That would be fine if I liked her, but I don’t! We are complete opposites, and she has a major gambling problem. How do I gracefully say I’m not interested in being friends?

— Please leave me alone

DEAR PLEASE >> The poor woman is new in the neighborhood. That may be why she’s reaching out the way she is. When she suggests getting together, explain that you have a full-time job and things you need to do at home, so the answer is you don’t have time. Sorry.
