HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
Happy birthday. Your year will start with a realization about yourself and your life role followed by a slight change in trajectory. No matter how it’s going, it can always be better. December requires of you a certain firmness of mind. Your loyalty and forthright attitude will bring success in many arenas. Aries and Sagittarius adore you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Knowing what others want is the key to success in today’s interactions. It’s not hard to figure out once you decide to do so. The hardest part is remembering to try.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Afford yourself more leeway than usual. Some tasks are just harder than you thought they would be. That doesn’t make them any less worthy of your attention and best efforts.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): When you have to, you’ll work harder than anyone. This isn’t something you’ve been taught or trained for; it’s inherently who you are — a person who will do what’s necessary to get the job done.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): Your plans are very much in line with what those in authority need from you, creating an atmosphere where your best efforts will take seed and grow to a mighty outcome.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A relationship will go in a fresh direction (and just in the nick of time, as the whole thing was getting quite old). Note: This could be your relationship with money, work or your body.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When you ask for what you want, does it seem like the other person would like to give it to you? You can’t help but wonder if you’re barking up the wrong tree. Investigate and experiment in this regard.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): The iOS digital voice assistant named Siri famously has an arsenal of humorous responses in her database that might endear her to her human users. You’ve a similar arsenal you’ll put to use today.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Maybe you’re not as driven as some people today, but that’s a good thing. Often, hyper-achievement is for the unbalanced. Right now it’s more important to maintain emotional equilibrium. Play the long game.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It is said that keeping track of every small give and take is a recipe for relationship failure. And yet, sometimes it helps to be aware of the tally. Maybe it’s not the most romantic view, but it’s one reason you’re a stellar partner.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): People like the people they help. You haven’t required help in some time. Consider softening on this. Don’t let pride come between you and a helping hand. They will get more than they give from this.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your best efforts are more than good enough. The person who told you otherwise was projecting his or her baggage — baggage you would be wise not to touch. Pretend you’re at an airport. Carry only your own.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): When was the last time you tried something new? There’s no reason to limit yourself to one new thing. It doesn’t matter whether you’re good or bad at the endeavor, the joy it provides will be the same.
