HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

Happy birthday. This solar return will be like a perfect travel day — every aspect of the journey seems luck-laced and pleasant, including your arrival at what turns out to be a completely unintended destination.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Maybe your worldview isn’t exactly a pleasant one today, but it’s worth sharing anyway, because it’s real.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’re grateful for your mistakes. They make you a more compassionate person, for starters.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): There are a few roles up for grabs in today’s scenario. Decide whom you want to be first. Then act.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): You treat your love (or potential love) as an equal. This is the key to your success in relationships.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your connection to an older person will be a highlight of the day.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Once you put your mind to it, you’ll be brimming with ideas for creating fun times with your loved ones.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): A soul’s cry isn’t heard with the ears so much as the heart. Listen past what a loved one is saying and into the meaning and feeling of it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): The reason you wrap a gift instead of just handing it over naked is that slow revelation adds excitement and specialness to our interactions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be motivated by a sense of duty, driven by your own aesthetic desires and intrigued by the chance for political gain.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll be tempted to let lethargy win, sleep late or take a nap. The thing is, you’ll only awaken feeling less vital.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Objects have vibes. And if the energy of your things is cluttering your mind, a purge will free you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Above all, you desire to offer the others something of value. It’s why you’re careful not to fall into the attention-seeking traps of our narcissistic age.
