HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

Happy birthday. Your birth was a gift to the planet. If you knew how your actions affected the timeline of this reality, you might be too self-conscious to do your thing. Anyway, it works beautifully when you assume your actions matter, and do your best.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): As for this environment you’ve landed in, you’ve seen so much of it that you no longer notice what’s there. Something will wake you up and all of this will look different to you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your responsibilities are many today. Still, it’s nothing you can’t handle. You’ve worked up to this. And though it’s not exactly what you had in mind, it’s preparing you for exactly what you have in mind. GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Life has officially gotten too predictable. That ends now. When things don’t go your way, you’ll be glad for the surprise — if not immediately, then eventually.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): It’s not working for you. You agreed to this though. Sure, it was a long time ago. You were a different person then. Still, a deal is a deal. The good news is that new arrangements can be made.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Maybe the fixes won’t be easy, but they will be fixes, and you really need for this situation to work a little while longer. So go ahead and make them. Bonus: They won’t be too expensive.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Most people don’t believe others have as complicated an inner life as their own. And yet they do. There will be luck for those who anticipate the complexity of others and really try to understand it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Resolve to be welcoming to new people coming into your life. Regardless of what happens, you’ll never regret making a warm first impression. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): This choice before you is more significant than you’re used to. Wisely, you understand your truth may be different from the truth of others. Still, you can only go with yours and hope for the best. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): People assess things incorrectly. For instance, what one calls excellent chemistry, another considers just the baseline, status quo of getting along. You assume nothing and are luckier because of this.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): That vaguely restless feeling sets in again. You’d like to blame it on something, but it seems to be a function of life itself. Don’t worry; it will go away right after you consciously coerce yourself to jump into a new experience.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The lines will be blurred between necessary and unnecessary. Of course, what’s fun seems much more necessary than it is. On the other hand, fun itself is actually necessary, so factor that in. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You get the feeling that an entire arena is either no longer for you anymore or never really was. That’s OK. What is living if not experimenting to see what works? Don’t waste a minute more on what doesn’t.
