HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

Happy birthday. You are greatly and widely beloved. You’ll influence many in a quiet, persistent way. There’s no ego in your work. You’re devoted to furthering a particular principle or way of operating. Your best financial move may be illogical — you’ll just feel it. There will be windfalls in July and November.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): As you interact with the people around you today, you’ll recognize that this is not your average crew. There will be enormous rewards for your gracious management of a wide swath of traits, talents, whims and flaws.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): People will ask you questions they wish you would ask them. Don’t waste your time trying to craft the right answer. Instead, turn it around and get to the point of the discourse.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Can you keep your original shape under the crushes of conformity? Well, you’re not sure that you’d want to do so. Today, you will mostly be enriched by the influence of others. You’re too strong to be changed very much anyway.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): An interesting story will become even more compelling. The thrill you get from learning will override any initial fear or self-consciousness you may feel in asking questions.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Being too involved with a person or project causes distortions of reality. Intimate knowledge of the minutiae blinds you to the big picture. Paradoxically, you’ll have to step back to get closer.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Make the choice that feels right. You don’t know where it will lead, and right now, no one will tell you. Unlike a jealous sibling who might spoil a surprise meant for you, the universe wants to delight in your startling glee.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): When you are in love, no words, no touch, no eyes and no embrace can match those of your beloved. You’ll find yourself in a similar “no substitutions” situation today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): It’s not that you want your life to look like a magazine. But that might be the end result as you seek a sense of physical, visual and emotional harmony in your environment. Much will be achieved to this end.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): History is like a purse you can rummage through to find useful information and tools, such as lenses that will change the way you see your world. Just remember that the past is for remembering or discovering, not for living in.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Information carries no special quality within itself. It has to be put to use to impact the world. If it is ignored, it may as well not exist. Today be sure to act on what you know.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It will be better to connect your ideas than to protect them. Involvement of supporters and challengers will speed up and sharpen your process. Together you will leap forward to greatness.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Going with the flow is a specialty of yours, but not today. There is a rebel inside you digging heels into the dirt. No one can move you from this place. You alone will decide when to go.
