HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

Happy birthday. In love, games and social fun, your impulse will align with opportunity. You’ll accomplish something you didn’t think you could. An event will go down in your personal history.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Decide to stop forcing yourself to do other people’s version of fun and stick to the version that’s all your own.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When hearts break, they don’t heal at once. In Shakespeare’s “Othello,” Iago says, “How poor are they that have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees?”

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Recognize what you need and give yourself those essentials plus a pinch more. Going too far would set you back or get you stuck.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): Setting yourself up to succeed involves recognizing what and how much you can do. Seek help for the tasks that are likely to go beyond those limits.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll step into a teaching position today. Choose your pupils well. Who needs the information most?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The one you think of as a hero didn’t aim for the role but landed there by accident. You, too, will rise to the occasion when the time comes. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Self-care is rooted in many practices that don’t seem like fun but are nurturing of your best self.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): When the situation calls for small talk, you might as well use it for the opportunity it is. Conversation is a personal brochure that shows people who you are and what you can do for them. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Part of doing the right thing is doing it at the right time. Action too far out of context will no longer hold such virtue.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Burnout comes to those who care for and help everyone but themselves. Be the priority today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Devote yourself entirely to your challenge; put on blinders to keep from looking back. There is only one goal, and it is ahead.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In families, things get tricky around money. This proverb will steer you well: “Eat and drink with your relatives; do business with strangers.”
