HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
There’s an ancient part of our brains that cannot conceive of the future. Without a concept of the future, this mind inside the mind has no discipline, no ambition and no rationality either. It wants what it wants, and always right now. The Taurus moon, hungry and impatient, highlights the need to calm, tend to and manage the beast inside.

(April 20-May
You’ll be a support beam to your people. Most support beams are taken for granted, but not the one you embody, which is central to the action and obviously holding everything up in a way that none can ignore. You’ll be celebrated and decorated.
21-June
You know how people tend to put on a smile even as they may be hiding in their inner world. Those who appear to be experiencing high-flying success may not be half as happy as those who are struggling. You’ll treat everyone with sensitivity.

Once you know, you can’t unknow. This is what makes knowledge a risk. You’ll find that you notice more than other people do and it’s because, on some level, you are willing to know more. Awareness takes courage.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
It is said that the journey to mastery crosses a vast field of mediocrity which is more arduous than dangerous, trudging through tall grass and avoiding gopher holes. Just don’t stop to rest or set up camp. March on.

Infatuation may cause you to do funny things, like buy what you normally wouldn’t or express things you didn’t even know you thought or felt. Note the effect people have on you, which is an indication of whether they are really good for you or not.
(Dec.
There’s something you’re feeling or thinking that you’re not yet ready to share. It might reflect a sore spot you’re not comfortable exposing, but know this for sure: People connect not in their strengths, but in their vulnerabilities.
