HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

The exploration you do in September helps you to join with your lost self — a process that opens the world to you. Next month features a group event that launches you as an individual.

ARIES ( March 21- April 19): There’s a chasm between what you want and what your loved ones want. Luckily, there’s a compromise that can be reached with minimal effort.

TAURUS ( April 20- May 20): The wise ones say you have to work your way through the bad times to have some good ones. Bottom line: If you don’t give up, you’ll improve.

GEMINI ( May 21- June 21): You believe in the universal brotherhood of man, and your actions refl ect your belief.

CANCER ( June 22- July 22): Today’s rumors spread fast and far. They don’t have to be true to be mobile. Be wary and slow to believe any of it.

LEO ( July 23- Aug. 22): The day centers on the people you care about. You’ll be comforted and challenged by them.

VIRGO ( Aug. 23- Sept. 22): The things you most want to do are not always wise or even rational. That doesn’t make them bad choices.

LIBRA ( Sept. 23- Oct. 23): When no one else is around, there’s still someone worth socializing with: you. Strive to learn more about yourself.

SCORPIO ( Oct. 24- Nov. 21): Your environment is lousy with gossip these days. Also, complaints are contagious. That’s why before you open your mouth, you check yourself.

SAGITTARIUS ( Nov. 22- Dec. 21): The way to peace will be apparent, but do you do what your ego would prefer, or do you make the peaceful choice?

CAPRICORN ( Dec. 22- Jan. 19): The one who has enchanted you still has a hold over you even now — months and years after the enchantment should have worn off.

AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20- Feb. 18): Of all the people in your midst, it’s the creative and inventive ones who make your life better.

PISCES ( Feb. 19- March 20): When you try to compete, you give away the advantages that kept you in a competitive position. Back off.
