HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

Happy birthday. A higher degree of teamwork will be necessary to make things happen in 2017. You’re the glue of your social network.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Instead of wanting something from another person, want something for that person. This shift of intention will make a difference in your ability to persuade.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Ask any ballerina; balance requires core strength. Core strength is also needed in your dance through life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): There are some really tricky aspects to the day, but you’ve been known to surmount much bigger challenges.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): You’re too busy looking at what you have to notice what you may have missed. Good. Stay that way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Thought of the day: Ignoring provocation is not defeat; it’s actually productivity.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Whether you’re being paid for the work or not, you’ll benefit from setting clearly defined objectives.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): What was lost and longed for has been found. Celebrate first, and then set up the safety measures to prevent future loss.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): The very specific (and probably charming) gesture you make will change or reinforce the way someone feels about you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The felicitous circumstance of the day is that what you want wants you right back. You still have to take action to get it, though.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll take only a few steps solo, really. It won’t be long before you’re joined by one who sees the significance of your journey.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You take the responsibility of developing your own brain very seriously. These days, the job may require that you let go of some dearly held beliefs.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): It’s a good day to ignore the bad habits of those close to you. Your refusal to pay attention will free you up for a truly wondrous block of time.
