HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY:

ARIES (March 21-April 19). An industrious mood takes hold. Avoid applying it to long-term commitments. You’ll have the sort of flair that is best put to use on a task you’re likely to finish in a day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). To love a person wholly is to love many versions of that person, past, present and future. Those versions are always alive somewhere in the totality of a person. Loving a person means loving change.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you can detect the difference between what you know and what you merely feel like you know, then you are quite a rare human indeed. To be safe, check your facts.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You won’t have to say what you want in order to get what you want. Your subconscious messaging system is going strong, and you will telegraph your needs, even when you’re not aware of it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Intellect and intelligence are two different things. You’ll gravitate to the latter, doing what’s smart, graceful, logical and practical without bothering with the facts, history or mechanics of a thing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). With your focused mindset, you can accomplish exactly what you need to without getting wrapped up in the side effects, pitfalls and traps that typically come with the endeavor.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What’s now appropriate was, once upon a time, not at all. Your ability to read the room and adjust to suit your audience will put you ahead of the competition.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Life is usually a trade-off, but sometimes you hit those lucky times when you can have your cake and eat it, too. Today brings such good fortune. You won’t have to let go of what you have to add something new.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s security in blending in, but that’s the only upside. The prize will go to the standout. To beat the competition, do more. To make a memory, do it differently.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s harmful to the car’s transmission to stay in the same gear for too long. The same goes for relationships. Stay in the same mode too long and things wear badly. Change gears.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The vision could become an invention or a reality if you’re willing and able to put the work in. But a lot of visions have this potential. It’s a matter of deciding on the one you’ll love to spend hundreds of hours on.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Compassion is the best growth agent around. Apply it and watch people heal, sprout, improve, create and more. The power of compassion is almost limitless.

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Focus is might. You’re on to bigger things this year, and you’ll notice that what used to distract you now seems like a quaint decoration with no power over your attention. Family learns from you. The new year shows a shift in your presentation style. You’ll attract different professional and personal situations. Cancer and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are 3, 30, 31, 2 and 15.
