HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
Happy birthday. You’ve been in love with things other than people before — endeavors that make your heart sing, places that light up your imagination — and that will happen for you again this solar return. Loved ones need your teaching in January. Spring will bring opportunity, perhaps through professional advancement. ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may not remember exactly what you said or did, but your body remembers it, and certain cues (the most effective being smell and taste) will bring you right back to that memory. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): There’s a situation; a limit being imposed. Maybe they don’t mean to take away your freedom. This could be happening on an unconscious level. But if you don’t call it out, this subtle pattern of restriction will continue. GEMINI (May 21-June 21): It is suggested time and again by the gurus of self-help that a life of purpose and meaning leads to happiness. Today’s events suggest that “meaning” doesn’t have to equal “seriousness.” And purpose can be light as a laugh. CANCER (June 22-July 22): The habit you’re finding it so difficult to break is serving a very important purpose, as it carries the promise of some measure of order and certainty in an uncertain world. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It appears, to the outsiders, that some on the inside operate inside their privilege without merits even close to those being kept out. You will relate to both sides of this fence at different times today. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): People who do not need your permission will nonetheless ask for it out of courtesy. This is how you know that you are respected and also that you have good people around you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): As the sign of balance, it’s hard to relate to this, but you’ll come across those who don’t believe that two powerful people can exist in one relationship. You’ll help to change minds, though, as you apply yourself to a mutual aim. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You don’t like a lot of loose ends: It’s sloppy, and it keeps people from moving forward. So you’ll go back and finish, even if you weren’t the one who started it. The result will be, either literally or figuratively, musical. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The matter that stressed you out yesterday may still be there today, unchanged. Time to try out some different reactions. You just might find that all the stress is now optional. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Basics of human connection that once seemed innate (such as eye contact and the extension of uninterrupted attention) now have to be learned, due to digital interference. Your good manners will give you an advantage. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Huddling in groups, hovering in the background… these are the places you don’t belong on this day of social opportunity. You have much to give and will open yourself (and your body language) to the larger picture. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll feel like you have more knowledge of a person than your time together should add up to. This is your sixth sense chiming in, and it has some information worth heeding, too.
