HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY:

Want to avoid making terrible mistakes during this Venus and Mars square? Humility is the answer. New studies focusing on the social dynamics of power support the old adage that power corrupts.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s difficult not to get attached to things today, especially when they fall so perfectly in line with who you think you are. Of course, we’re never who we think we are.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Should you maximize your gains or minimize your losses? It depends on what you want. For fame or publicity, maximize your gains.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are a key player, an integral team member and a big reason your group is functioning so well right now. Don’t seek validation for this. Just know it’s true.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You offer many things to people around you every day. Today you already know what they will choose. You’ve made the default option very appealing.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your nearest and dearest love you for who you are, not for what you achieve or do. But what you do still affects the big picture. They cannot help but be influenced.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Though you’re part of the improvement, the solution, the happier day, you’re also part of something that’s going to need revision a little further down the road.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Don’t ask them what they think. They’ll tell you, but it won’t really be what they think; it will just be what they suppose sounds appropriate. You’ll have better luck if you ask them how they feel.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your actual choice won’t be nearly so important as the level of focus and power you bring to it. So don’t stress about what you’ll do next.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Children, dreams, beauty, love — the good things such as those have a life of their own and don’t necessarily do what they’re told.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Kindness and politeness will go a long way toward paving easy daily routines, contributing to healthful and lovely environments, and creating quality relationships.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Don’t do waiting; do creating. Though there will definitely be a stretch of time between your request and its fulfillment, if you fill it with work on other things, it will seem like a mere blink.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s not that the pot of gold doesn’t exist; it’s that the end of the rainbow doesn’t exist. The rainbow is an illusion dependent on a point of perspective, not GPS coordinates.

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You’ll commit to something new in August. Leo and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are 9, 30, 50, 22 and 14.
