HOROSCOPE

- By HOLIDAY MATHIS

Narcissism in the Fire-Sign Sky As for the people who seem to be in love with themselves, there’s something oddly attractive about them at first. If you accidental­ly become enamored, you’re not to be blamed as long as the fiery Sagittariu­s moon and the Leo sun rule the sky. Just know that it’s hard to get back home when you’re traveling down a one-way street.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You can’t hide something that’s not there. It’s why emptiness is so embarrassi­ng. It’s why people feel driven to fill it with just about anything around. Be sensitive to lack. Everyone lacks something.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You may be by yourself for hours today, but you won’t feel lonely, largely because your noble thoughts and extraordin­ary interests keep you company.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The amateurs complain that they weren’t

meant for this activity or that one. It’s not true. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing; you shine through it. You can’t help but be you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Thomas Jefferson suggested that the best government governs the least. He trusted human nature and expected that people usually will discipline themselves. Do you think that’s true? Today will make you wonder.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Here’s a case for articulati­on and specificit­y: The right words ring through you, resonating with your very being and shaking loose the tarnishing muck. Those words that are close but not right have no resonance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When inaction is the norm, it takes boldness – some would say insanity – to act. You have the guts to make a difference. You’ll set the wheels in motion and be admired.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The most exciting person to be around is the one who challenges you, catches you off guard and makes you feel alive. Such a person will come into your life within the week.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Invest what you have in a safe bet, or in the ordinary things on which you would normally focus your energy. If you don’t have the goods yet, build them and grow them before promising them away. Stay debt-free.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Look ahead and decide whether you

have the means to get there or not. This is no time for conjecture. You can’t jump a chasm in two leaps.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A wise man said that love is life. However, “love” is also one of the most ambiguous words in the human language. You’ll explore what it means to you and come up with a few defining principles.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Destiny suggests you’ll be rekindling the past. It takes a long time to know someone, and if you’ve been apart for a few years, the getting-to-know-you process must happen all over again, as people change.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your love life has been a combinatio­n of exhilarati­ng highs and dishearten­ing lows, so much so that you welcome the easy, uneventful, coasting sensation you’ll get today.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 27). Your superpower­s surge as planets dose you with constellat­ion elation. Your cash flow will increase steadily. September will highlight the visionary part of you. Go forward – you’ll meet the right person to take your plan all the way. You may have mad chemistry with someone, but good relationsh­ips require much more. Cancer and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 50, 22, 27 and 31.

ASTROLOGIC­AL QUESTIONS: “Dear Holiday: As Christians, we are not supposed to read horoscopes. (Not only that, but I had a bad experience with them several years ago.) But it seems like every time I meet someone I like, my curiosity gets the best of me. I started reading yours in our local newspaper. So far I have found your horoscope to be very accurate for my zodiac (Cancer). I have even acted on what was said on someone else’s reading (Scorpio), and it turned out just the way you said. At this time, I’m not taking the readings too seriously only because I don’t need another emotional breakdown, but I just thought you might like to know that so far you’re doing well.”

I’m happy to hear that you’re gaining some insight by reading about your sign and also Scorpio – two water signs that are deeply and inexplicab­ly connected. I encourage you to always do what you feel drawn to and never give a horoscope, an astrologer or anyone else for that matter more power than your own intuition. I believe you are being divinely guided to read and do what is helpful and peaceful for you.
