HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19). Problems get solved today by devoting full attention to them in a creative way. Taurus (April 20-May 20). It will be liberating to be around people who don’t have a lot of rules attached to their friendship. Gemini (May 21-June 21). If you let your thoughts wander today, there’s a tendency to brood. Counteract it with a busy day of distractions and delights. Cancer (June 22-July 22). You’ll benefit from thinking of the “self” you show the world as verb instead of a noun — as a manner of assembling the attributes and opinions handed to you early on. Also, you can arrange this differently whenever you want to. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Some of the humans you’ll interact with today are so sensitive to emotion and tone that you may wish you were interacting with a robot who responds to specific commands without attaching any emotional baggage. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Let energy flow so that it can either dissipate or activate your intention. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). We live in a world of symbols, thinking about what things symbolize will help today’s interactions. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Of all the tests you could be offered, it’s the tests of patience that will do the most to expand your consciousness and mature your soul. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s much to gain from following the pacing of others. Observe and learn instead of distracting yourself away from the business at hand. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Can there be thoughts without a thinker? Some say it’s possible, even optimal. And though they condemn the ego, you can bet there’s much in yours that would be missed were you to join the ranks of the enlightened. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll project yourself rather cleverly and be well-accepted. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). What you believe about the past will direct the future. Today’s Birthday (March 4). You will stop looking for opportunities and start creating them. Lucky numbers are 10, 28, 6, 40 and 17. Write to astrologer Holiday Mathis at www.creators.com/author/holiday-mathis.
