HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

Happy birthday. Like a bird hatching from an egg, you’re emerging into a wider world this year. There’s much to learn the next three months, and a wise guide will show up. A financial drain will be sealed and healed in

April. In June, you’ll strike emotional gold. August brings a love story.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Fun? You’re game! The world seems to sense this about you and will offer opportunities to practice the spectrum of mirth: laughing, hollering and dancing is all in the offering. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your work will be as good as you can make it. So don’t worry about how it measures up. That is out of your hands. Just do your work until you come to the end of your fear and inhibitions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You’ll attract people who want to help you, align with you or simply keep your company on this part of the journey. You can accomplish the same without these potential partners, but it won’t be nearly as easy or fun.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): Though your idea may start the action today, what happens because of this isn’t really about you. There are niches to be filled, and as people fall into position, lives will change.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): For whatever reason, it may be the wrong time to let the others know what you really think. It’s the right time, however, to start moving instinctively and privately toward your ideas.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There are strong intuitive currents running through you today, and what’s even better is that you’re inclined to believe them. You feel it when you feel it, and when you don’t, there’s nothing anyone else can do about it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Though you may never have to weather extreme elements, you want a warm coat that can handle such a remote possibility. This coat-shopping metaphor will apply to some part of your life.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today, your wit is what a mandolin is to a butter knife: You’re sharper and more precise, and the result is artfully impressive. Take precautions to avoid hurting someone accidentally.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you speak highly of what you do, the next thing that will happen is that people will want you to do it for them. Gauge your speech based on this. If it’s not your desire to service others at this time, hold your tongue.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you keep solving a problem in the same way, does that really count as a solution? Maybe there is something you could do to handle this once and for all. Ask around.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Remember when you fretted for nothing? Let that discourage you from today’s worries, or at least consider taking a break for the day. You can always resume worrying in the future.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): If you followed the directions on your shampoo bottle too literally, you would be rinsing and repeating until the bottle ran out. Today, you’ll approach every endeavor with common sense. You’ll read directions as a last resort.
