HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY:

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Maybe you only know half the story, but it’s your half, and therefore the half that counts. You get to tell it the way you want to. Embellishments will happen ... and earn you style points!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Get out and about. If you’re alone too much, then you won’t get the benefit of seeing how people appreciate you. You’ll start to forget who you are and what you’re good at if there’s no one to reflect that to you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). People who can amuse themselves and carry their happiness inside themselves are the best ones to be around because they won’t lean on you emotionally or unload their subtle psychic burdens on you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Discipline means something different to each person. You’ll be exploring the limits of your own willpower, realizing what it’s being used for currently and deciding where best to apply it in the future.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s like opening a combination lock. You can get all the numbers right, but it’s not going to open unless you also get them in the right order. And here’s a hint about the order of things: Your first responsibility is to take care of yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Boredom gets a bad rap. Extreme boredom can cause a person to wander into his or her own brilliance. So when things slow down, don’t rush to check your email or get sucked into social media. Sit out the long moment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s once again time to ask yourself why you’re doing it. The reasons have changed or maybe gotten lost. A good answer to the question “why?” will be a powerful engine.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Sometimes we blame others — partners, employers, the government — for not giving us what we want when the real problem is that we’re just not letting ourselves have it. Open your hands, arms, spirit to the thing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you spend enough time around very selfish or self-absorbed people, then the parts of you that don’t get seen will be in danger of diminishing. Counteract the effect with exposure to the spiritually generous.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). People say the game is rigged, but don’t let that stop you from playing. If it’s a good enough game, it will be beneficial to play whether or not you win, rendering any “rigging” irrelevant.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The magic question: What would happen if you had to completely and totally mind your own business for the extent of the journey? There’s something that can only be solved by shutting out the rest of the world.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Positive role models are wonderful, and you’ve known plenty of them, but they’re scarce today. Don’t worry — reverse-role models (who represent what you don’t want) are equally motivating, if not much more so.

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You don’t have to win to be confident. Confidence comes from trusting yourself. Trusting yourself comes from learning, loving and accepting yourself. Roll up your sleeves and get ready to earn the next-tier prize. Cancer and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are 3, 28, 20, 14 and 8.
