HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

Happy birthday. This solar return shows you inexplicably drawn to adventure and daring enough to open new doors and enter foreign territory in pursuit of it. Fast deals go down in September. December brings good fortune and family unity. In 2018: You’ll figure out a way to be compensated for doing what you love.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Avoid the triggers of a bad mood. Limit your exposure to negativity. When you’re happy, everyone around you is happy. Today you will influence many, your happiness is like a responsibility.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’re impressionable. It’s one of the ways you learn so quickly (although sometimes you learn the hard way): If other people in your life are telling you that someone is bad for you, listen to them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You may change what you’re doing in order to harmonize with the dominant environmental influences and forces, and that’s only smart. Even so, you never completely lose your unique you-ness.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): Things that look good on paper don’t always play out, and things that work in real life don’t often come with the hype. Word of mouth and personal referrals will serve you well.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You may be tempted to veer off, but dig down and find the strength and focus to stay the course. Simply put, you’ll be better off tomorrow.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There is no magic formula to follow now. Logic prevails. Efforts that are correctly focused will lead to success. Repeat the same action several times — a habit is being forged.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): There will be a tangled little piece of drama to sort out. Then again, perhaps this isn’t yours to solve. Suspend your judgment. Assume the innocence of others. Embrace humility.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Compromise is a part of living together peaceably. However, too much negotiating hurts a relationship. In the name of respect and simplicity it may be best to do what the other person wants without making a counteroffer.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): All sense of direction will stem from your clear, bright, compelling vision of the goal. It’s worth spending time on. The right vision will help you set the strategy and execute the mission.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Giving quality focus to another is a skill that takes years to learn and master, and some people will never get it. You’re good at it, and you deserve to be around people in the same league.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s all just a theory until you apply it. So go on. Decide the limits to your gamble, and then jump in and work it out. You’ll either disprove the theory quickly and move on or be pleasantly rewarded.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You are organized; you have a plan; and you’ll stick to the plan. Because of this, you won’t have too much trouble finding people who understand your deal, want to support you and will go along for the ride.
