HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

Happy birthday. You’ll celebrate happy news in the next six weeks and be on the receiving end of lovely attention all through this season. You’ll decide on a new and very effective way of navigating your love life. Stellar invites come in November. ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’re not in the mood for a lecture about listening to your heart, making empowered choices, yada, yada, and so let’s get to the point. Just say no. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If you compete with a partner, you’ll either lose for winning, or lose for losing. Take your competitive spirit elsewhere. GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Saying the right thing at the right time is child’s play for you. Here’s the real challenge: Can you say nothing in the moment that tempts you to state the juicy truth of the matter? You can! CANCER (June 22-July 22): You have superpowers of recollection. Your imagination provides the booster that fuels your journey to a pleasant past moment. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):Your resistance to an idea could be a sign that the idea is one to explore further. You wouldn’t have such a strong reaction if there weren’t something to dispel or embrace in this. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):You feel an urgent need to do more. Perhaps this is because someone needs proof that you care. More likely it has to do with gathering evidence of improvement. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): It’s nice that someone cares enough to present things to you in a positive light. However, right now you want the straight story. The one who can cut to the chase — or even better, the capture — will win your vote. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Don’t concern yourself with the secret thoughts of another. You’ll never really know. Also, it doesn’t matter as much as you fear. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A problem shared should be a problem halved, not a problem doubled. Much depends on with whom you’re sharing it. If you team with someone prone to drama, you’ll get what you signed up for. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): No experience on the matter? No worries. Your very loosely related experiences will be close enough.The important thing is that you have the confidence to confront things head-on. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):You’re so observant. Who needs to know what you’ve observed? Not everyone. Be strategic. There are things that people around you aren’t quite ready for. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):There’s a good chance the situation at hand isn’t as complicated as you’re making it. There are challenges out there, but this isn’t one of them. Solve it fast, and a much more worthy endeavor will present itself.
