HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 3). When there’s a chance to make things happen for the people you love, you’re relentless. This year, you’ll apply the same intensity to realizing your vision for yourself. You’ll build your days on healthy basics. Something you missed before will now fall into place, and your well-being will blossom with the change. Virgo and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 28, 9, 44 and 6.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You think you know why people like you, but you’re a little off, overestimating the importance of some aspects of your package and totally missing others. But one thing you can be sure of: Like you, they do!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The difference between a showoff and a showman is intent. One makes a spectacle for the energy rush of being the center of attention. The other creates entertainment to evoke an emotional return from the audience.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Perhaps life is always an improvisation, though on days like today, when you know what’s coming next, it feels like more of a scripted play. A character who throws you a curveball will be a welcome influence indeed.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You want to speak love, but it doesn’t always come out as compassionate as you’d like. Before you beat yourself up over it, consider that love has many tones, some softer than others.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are not facing any major decisions now, so don’t be fooled by the minor ones. Without healthy perspective, small things can get very big indeed. Matters of scale are solved through the lens of other people.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). While it’s fun to dream about your ideal future, you are also wellaware of the fact that there is no such thing. There is only building in faith and loving what is. Happiness is an attitude, not a circumstance.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Conversation takes you to a new level of understanding as you tune in to the subtle manner in which certain things are said and make guesses as to the meaning. Your takeaway is golden.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). No one is making you jump through hoops to earn your place in the world, though you may find yourself doing this anyway — a force of habit born of a belief that you must work to be deserving of life’s bounty. Is that really true?
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What makes the machine work perfectly? Having the right parts and them being well-aligned. This is also what makes for an easy day. You have everything necessary to pull off the job; you just need to jiggle them into their proper place.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Drop the struggle. You can afford to do it! In fact, maybe you can’t afford not to, considering this mental thrashing around wastes a lot of energy and accomplishes nothing. SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
22-Dec. 21). You are willing to accept a person’s suffering with compassion and kindness, and you are open to doing whatever you can to assist. Do not, however, share in it. Protect and care for yourself. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Decisions seem daunting as you sense that even the small choices will be lifealtering. Instead of yes and no, it may help you to think in terms of what you feel available to.
