HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
Happy birthday. Your friends love you more than you realize, but you’ll start to understand that when they make a fuss over you this year. The work you do on the domestic front will positively affect your finances. You’re a competitor for a substantial prize in January. March and July bring a whirl of dates and social events. Aquarius and Capricorn people adore you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): In a larger sense, all of the circumstances you are experiencing (and have, would and could experience) are temporary. Therefore, loss is inevitable. The fear of loss, however, is optional.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A friendly rivalry gives you enjoyment. Though you may be keenly determined to win, and winning is your preference, you will not really be disappointed if you lose, because it means your good friend has won.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You are still developing the special skill of knowing when to stop. You can apply this to many areas of life, as the excessive pursuit of anything — even the very best things in life — can be unhealthy.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): With a warm smile and a polite, unassuming manner you will win the interests of acquaintances and potential clients. Friendships will develop out of this group of new faces.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Those bold enough to advise you are merely telling you what they believe they would do in your position. This has little to do with what is right for you, which of course only you would know. Trust your own guidance.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are primarily trying to open your heart more and think of others more. Each time you fall short of this request of yourself, know that it’s human nature at work and simply try again, no punishment necessary.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Performing well correlates with a high tolerance of frustration. Those who can cope with setbacks and be serene in the face of difficulty will win. Self-esteem will have little to do with it.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Money doesn’t make a person better, and being broke doesn’t make a person worse. Whatever you can do to separate your finances from your feelings will improve both.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Worry is fearful thinking in repetition. Break the cycle — rewrite the script, and leave out the fear. In order to ponder without anxiety, you’ll have to ponder new things, not the same things over and over.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It will be easy for you to fall into an even-minded approach to relationships. Everyone has good and bad traits. It’s pointless to make comparisons between people and even more pointless to compare yourself.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Though you usually give people the benefit of the doubt, when you have a strong instinct that someone is up to no good, this is not to be ignored. To prevent future problems, protect yourself.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Being an imperfect human, it follows that you will act imperfectly in many ways. That doesn’t make you any less of a person. Accepting imperfection is your key to feeling better.
