HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

Happy birthday. This solar eclipse/new moon birthday is a cosmic “do over” that you can apply to any area of your life any time during the year. So you can be slightly bolder, fearlessly true to your nature and audacious with your love, knowing that the fates delight in your daring, even as they offer a safety net.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): It’s said that a great library is a diary of the human race. If you visit one, you’ll be privy to the human mind and heart. If you don’t, you’ll certainly grow your mind on juicy information you get somewhere else.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The change you’re thinking about may seem risky to others, but it’s not really that risky to you. You have a strong vision of where you’re going, and you know the way. Trust yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You’re used to things clipping along at a snappy pace, especially in the case of promptly returned communication. So try not to be offended by the lag time you experience today. Pause and let the others catch up.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): True friendship is a gift, the benefits of which double up on themselves, boomerang back and and forth, and spread out to the world in ripples of goodwill. False friendship, on the other hand, feels more like a curse.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll get the amount of attention you need, but only if you ask for it. And you should definitely ask. Otherwise, people won’t understand your preferences and expectations.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): An open mind is a loophole. It allows you to gather wisdom even from a person who offends you. It allows you to find insight that helps you lead a better life even from someone you disagree with 80 percent of the time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Your kindness always comes back to you, often not from the place you invested it. Also the timing can be unpredictable. You’re not overly concerned with this, as giving brings you joy, but sometimes you do wonder. Have faith.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): In case you were doubting your ability to work under pressure, today will provide you with such a time crunch and a resource shortage, it’s almost funny. Well it will be funny, after you’ve succeeded, which you surely will.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There are many people who might fulfill similar needs for one another, but none of them creates exactly what you do in a relationship. Only those who recognize the uniqueness of your contribution are worthy of it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Potential is not a thing you can buy, but you can invest in it, which is always a gamble. Before you invest anything — time, energy or other - into the potential of a thing, do a massive amount of research.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There’s a lot that will need to come together to pull your plan off, and it’s absolutely possible, but your conviction will make the difference, too. You’ll have to believe and believe hard.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): No matter how close you may be to another person, even living in the same house and doing many of the same things, you are still each in your own reality. Share that and you’ll find out just how different those realities are.
