HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY:

ARIES (March 21-April 19). When it’s your turn to take a bow, you’ll be brief and then hand over the moment to the many others who helped. You’ll do this because it feels comfortable.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There are certain people you feel so connected to that it’s as though your souls signed a contract to be intertwined. Autonomy is still important though, perhaps even more so with this type of closeness.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re incomparable really, but if you must compare yourself, and it’s hard not to on a day like today, then at least make a favorable comparison and move quickly on from that. It’s no place to dwell.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Head in the clouds? That’s OK. You’re at your best when you’re combining your reality with your dream of it. And you will dream more beautifully with pretty things around you to inspire you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You made contributions that were either overlooked or taken for granted. Reintroduce them. The times have changed. Now they need what you’re contributing and they’ll be much more appreciative.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) .Funday—a playful mood takes hold. Relationships are better with humor. Your affectionate joking around will land perfectly as long as you keep it light and positive.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You always feel better about yourself after you do a round of excellent hard work. So why would you rob others of that self-esteem boost? They want to work for you. Let them.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If the path seems to offer no challenge, then it’s a lie. You’ll look for the hard parts, the possible pitfalls and motives. This you’ll do not out of cynicism, but rather in an effort for optimum preparation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Expectation hinges on imagination. The bigger the imagination, the higher the expectation. So if your fantasy has proved outsized for reality, maybe it’s because you’ve augmented powers of vision.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll create an atmosphere for people to enjoy. It reflects you — your style, appetites and intentions. Music will be an important part of this, an element that’s a shortcut to putting people at ease.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s a puzzle of a day, but you can handle it. There’s a way to make this whole thing work out with many smiles. The most important thing is to stay cool and keep your inside voice on the inside.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It takes a minute to get to know a situation well enough to figure out how you’re going to compartmentalize all that goes along with it. Take it all in. Later you can decide what to pay attention to and what to tune out.

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: The truer you are to yourself, the more everyone else benefits. You express yourself, solve problems, join groups and things get better for all. Other highlights include: an intriguing phone call from out of the blue, an intense and immediate connection with a new friend and a health-favoring lifestyle shift. Aquarius and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are 14, 38, 20, 22 and 47.
