HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 30).
An exploratory year spools out before you, rewarding your curious experiments with bright solutions, fun anecdotes and much-deserved social distinction. More highlights: A savvy investment and funds applied to a life-changing cause. Your spiritual practice will deepen. You’ll feel your life force entwining with the energies of others in a divine weave. Libra and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 4, 14, 28 and 16.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
You’ll be inclined toward selfless action; even so, it benefits everyone if you figure out what’s in it for you. Otherwise, it will be difficult to stay motivated. Set yourself up to feel good and comfortable as you work.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Conflict is not always negative, and confrontation isn’t always something to avoid. You won’t take on every clash that comes up, but neither will you hide from what could be an opportunity for better understanding.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You’re inclined to accommodate others — lovely, unless you’re among the greedy. You can be generous and still stay on alert to keep from selling yourself short. Remember: You need you more than you need them.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Do the unpleasant thing first and the general work you were procrastinating becomes suddenly appealing enough to get into. It’s little tricks like this that add up to eventually make you a super achiever.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
True or false can be impossible to determine. Instead, make your best guess about what might be helpful, then decide to believe it. Hold to hope. What you change today will open up something three months down the road.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
No need for a coach or program now because you have everything inside you. You’ll get in touch with these resources in a moment of silence. Solitude has healing properties beyond what anything involving other people can offer.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
You’re usually inclined to make a plan first, but if you don’t have one yet, don’t let that stop you from acting. Your instincts are solid. Some of the best things to happen to you will come from a spontaneous impulse.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Most people will not be able to keep up with your energy level now. They may look like they understand you, but this could be an act. Slow down and give the other person a chance to follow you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
You’ll field unexpected opportunities. It won’t be necessary to decide now. Keep thinking of your options. Tonight, you’ll apply your talents to turning an ordinary event into something remarkable.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
Change may not hurt you physically, but your mind may recoil anyway, as though doing things differently will cause you pain. Luckily, wanting a result enough emboldens you with the quiet focus needed to calm your thoughts.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
The best influences won’t be too similar to you. You’ll learn more from those with diverse backgrounds and expertise. Friendship is at its most exciting when it presents an opportunity to do something beyond your normal scope.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Even though you’re often proactively choosing your route, you don’t mind it at all when life gives you the next thing to do. This time, it’s so obvious, it’s wrapped and bowed like a gift.
