HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

Happy birthday. Your competitive spirit will be activated. Over the next six months, your main concerns get addressed and fixed to some extent so you can move on to new excitement. There’s a luxurious feeling to 2016. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Does it feel like the only thing holding you back from the one you love is timing? If so, that will improve this afternoon. Stay in the moment that’s unfolding instead of wishing you were in another one. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The rewards of your latest effort are trickling in. This is something to celebrate! Do be brief about it, though, because there’s much, much more work to be done to take advantage of this momentum. GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Helping people makes you happy, but you don’t live to serve. Get out and get served, if only to remind yourself of this. You’ll have more to give when you feel taken care of, too. CANCER (June 22-July 22): What you know about one small area of life is the ticket to understanding how many things work. So don’t underestimate your importance. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If you had to sit down and figure out how to be you, you couldn’t come up with half of the talents, tendencies and endearing quirks you possess. Just do what’s innate today, and you’ll be brilliant. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Once you give your word, you honor it. Therefore, as a rule, you don’t give your word easily.You’ll be asked (by someone who is pretty charismatic) for a casual agreement. Resist. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You won’t always be guided by a shining beacon. Deciding who you are can be a process of elimination. You know you’re not a person who likes this, that or the other. What’s next to try out? SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Don’t spend your time like the political parties do, each proving the other is unfit to lead. The real question is: Who can get the job done? Show that it’s you. Get in there and do it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It would appear that you need more money to accomplish a goal. This is only half-true. Money will be necessary, yes, but what’s more crucial is a clearer vision. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A Dutch proverb says, “A handful of patience is worth more than a bushel of brains.” Stick to the simple plan, and work it until it’s complete. Success! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Design, engineering, moving well in your environment — it all matters to your day’s ambitions in both big and small ways. For instance, comfortable shoes can affect your destiny. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): People say a lot of things. Sometimes they just can’t live up to their words. If you disregard what a person says and carry on your relationship based strictly on what the person does, you’ll be better off.
