HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY:

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your intuition will be extremely strong, which has its upside (you know who to talk to and who to avoid, and you can smell a winning situation from miles away) and its downside (you’re sensitive to bright things).

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Be willing to fight for what’s yours. This is the nature of ownership. From time to time, it gets tested. Maybe it’s annoying, but at least this reminds you of the value of a thing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ve many ways to renew your energy, some of them opposing. Exercise restores you, but so does rest — sometimes silence, other times song. Experiment. You might be surprised what makes you feel better today.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There’s a lot you’ll do in the name of making others happy, especially those you care a great deal about. But some of these activities just aren’t a good fit for you. It’s the best when they smile just seeing you be you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People don’t appreciate the things that are just handed to them as much as they love the things they’ve worked for. Keep this in mind before you give or accept anything today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Aesthetic qualities matter to you. This isn’t a signal of shallowness, far from it. Beauty is a window into the vibrancy and health of things. Color, feel, light, symmetry — they are all signals.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There’s nothing quite like the feeling of people banding together for a common cause. The sense of belonging can’t be beat. It doesn’t take away the risk, but there’s comfort in knowing the risk is shared.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s nice to be needed. It makes you feel important. But there are those who will take advantage of this, leaning on you instead of becoming self-reliant. It actually weakens them to help too much.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Assumptions are bad for education. You can’t learn if you think you already know. You’ll learn fast once you forget what you’ve already got in your brain on the subject, clean the slate and begin anew.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When you think of boredom as a kind of dull pain, it makes sense to relieve it. The best relief is actually healing, and it won’t come from a distraction that takes away from an experience, it will come from going deeper into it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s like you’re looking for yourself, even though you’re not technically lost. But you sense there’s more in the situation to absorb, know and feel, if you can only bring yourself fully to the moment.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When people say, “You remind me of ...” it’s not an insult. Rather, it’s a signal of their limited experience and perception. Anyway, keep striving to be so uniquely yourself that this sort of comparison is impossible to make.

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: It’s as though your pleasure is a top priority for the universe. Many pleasing situations show up requiring very little effort from you. And as long as you keep appreciating, the gifts keep coming. March brings the sweet end to a chapter and an exciting start to the next. Pisces and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are 3, 39, 1, 18 and 31.
