HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

Happy birthday. You care about your own happiness, but there’s so much you’ll put first this year.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Give them something to take and they’ll take it.

Give them something to believe in and they’ll give you loyalty.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You know how to help the people around you because you’ve taken the time to understand their unique needs. Can you apply it to another area of your life?

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): What you’re attracted to isn’t always the best choice. Wishing to be a bright light, you keep asking what would yield the highest good for the greatest number of people.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): Similarities bring people together.You don’t have to agree on everything, but early in a relationship is the best time to assess commonalities. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll be tempted to get close to people at work, but it will be very important to maintain a logical approach and a professional distance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll ask around and get a variety of answers to the same question. Which is right? The truest answer of all: You are asking the wrong question! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): It’s natural to seek options that make you feel better about yourself, though today’s right choice could be decidedly less appealing.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Some say closure is a rhetorical concept and to think of it as a necessity is to believe in a myth. Whether or not that’s true, it feels good to complete a cycle and put an ending on it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ve been trying to get rid of an uncomfortable feeling. What if you try instead to integrate the feeling into your life moving forward? CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Progress is real. The cynics say that things are the same even when they are different — that we just trade old problems for new ones. Nope. It bears repeating: Progress is real.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The pressure is something you are putting on yourself. So when you decide you can’t take the pressure, don’t apply it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You don’t want yes people around you. You want people around you whom you can learn something from. You’ll find them today.
