HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY:
Beauty lives all around us. Familiarity blinds us to it. With eyes adjusted to the loveliness of daily life, the same scene that might enthrall a stranger becomes totally unimpressive.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Few things will be more persuasive than a good story, especially if you leave room for the audience to fill in some blanks, thus becoming more involved. Tell a story.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Like a buffet at a restaurant, the buffet of life is at its finest with the early crowd. There’s something special brewing.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Sometimes you wonder if you should care so much about the look and feel of things, as your discerning tastes can be difficult to satisfy.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You didn’t make them on purpose, but you can still be proud of those messes. Those who are not making a mess are probably not making anything.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Genuine curiosity keeps the conversation going. You sense the difference between this real force of life and the empty questions that are imposters not even worth answering.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You look up to the ones in a certain group and the ones in the other group look up to you. And so, the wheel of social status uncomfortably turns. You may feel driven to break the wheel.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Oh, happy day — you’ll get some of what you want! To get some of what you want is a blessing, a boon and a benefit! To get everything you want is a curse that stunts growth.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You don’t think of your work or relationships as a game, but there are others more competitive at heart who seem ever-aware of the score.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Universities often use their graduate students as teachers for the lowerlevel classes. In a sense, all teachers are graduate students — pupils further along the path of learning.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). When you know you can do a thing and be successful at it — that’s confidence. You can be confident about anything; you just need to learn the thing.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The emotions live inside of you, the circumstances live outside, and diffusion has to happen for you to move comfortably in the outside realm.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). To stay present and in the moment, the moment must interest you more than your internal dialogue does. Challenge yourself.
IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Certain dreams of your youth have morphed into adventures while others have been forgotten. Taurus and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are 20, 4, 44, 38 and 17.
