HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

Happy birthday. You’ll attain power and control, and using your influence for good will be a priority. December is excellent for sales and a car purchase.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Consciously shuffle things, and a new order will emerge. If you act unconsciously, the order will be the same.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Two heads may be better than one, but four hands will be two too many. Consult someone for ideas, but do the work yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You’ll be drawn to a pretty presentation, but beware. Bright colors might be slapped onto inferior ingredients.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): To the unwise, the hierarchy of things can be very deceiving. You understand power better than others, so help them.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you look for bargains, you’ll find them, and the products won’t be so different from the higher-priced items.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A task will be like taking a century-old photo and colorizing it — something will be gained, but something will be lost. Is it worth the effort?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): This typically happens in the reverse, but a window is closing and a door is opening. When you see the opportunity shrink, hold on, because something bigger is coming.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You may not feel stronger than another person, but your purpose is clear and important. That makes you stronger.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): One who has a positive way of framing a negative situation is either extremely helpful or delusional. Either way, you’ll be inspired.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your flaws are endearing, and without them, people wouldn’t relate to you as well. Someone loves what you don’t like about yourself.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Style matters, and yours changes how your ideas are received. It’s better to have a plain something than a fancy nothing.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You don’t have to step onto a podium to be lead. You prove this as you assign duties.
