HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

Happy birthday. There is little more satisfying than being able to fill the void where you lacked skill.

The satisfaction will not come immediately. Keep at it and you’ll soon have it mastered.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Separate what is said from who is saying it. This is how you clear your prejudice from the information.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your rules for yourself warrant examination. What you face in the future will be a new challenge. Time for new rules.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Knowing how to live with less equals power. To let go of needing is the way to a lighter, brighter spirit.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): You’re not lost, just slightly farther from shore than is comfortable. Time to paddle home.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The unmanageable parts of life won’t be the difficult ones. It’s the lovely ones in need of prioritizing that will require effort.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Among the saddest words are “if only.” “I accept” will bring you today’s peace, if not joy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You’ve a way of encouraging loved ones that is unbeatable. There’s no substitute for your presence.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You tend to fall deeper into situations than others, and that is your strength, even though it means you can hurt more.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’re not above using sneaky ways to get people to do what you want, especially because what you want is better for them.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Questions get us through. Good questions make the day better. Ask, “How can I bring a little more (love, levity …) to the situation?”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You tend to rush in and give what you have, but that’s not always best. Let people show you what they need.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll meld science and art in today’s endeavor, finding a beautiful arrangement of facts and a reasonable order to fantasy.
