HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
Happy birthday. Welcome to a year of delights when it will be a joy to find beauty in the ordinary, and a thrill to create the extraordinary.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): There’s a time to “dance like no one is watching” and this isn’t it. The moves need refinement. Someone will be watching and you’ll give yourself every chance at feeling good about your performance.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It’s funny how it’s sometimes easier to give your unconditional love and acceptance to those you don’t know than it is to tolerate the flaws of familiar loved ones. If you can reduce expectations of interactions, there will be more room for the love to flow in.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You’ll make a casual presentation, which will get you ready for something big. As awkward as it may be to stumble your way through it, this is what you need to do to be graceful when it really matters.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): When you like a thing, you know. You know right away. You don’t have to know everything about a subject to do that. The parts that are for you will call out to you. You’ll sample many delights and land on a few favorites.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The universe isn’t trying to trick you, but there will be surprises that could make you feel any number of ways. Offer the benefit of doubt to all. Choose interpretations that make you feel loved.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your success formula today involves devoting big energy to small things. What’s important is not the size of the task, but love you bring to it. Friends with a background very different from yours will be especially helpful.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): People extend trust in their own timing and for their own reasons. It’s something you wouldn’t try to rush, because then you’d be saying “trust me” and everyone knows that the one who says “trust me” is the least trustworthy.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Can you envision something a little bigger? Pull it like taffy to see how far the idea can stretch without breaking. Your exercises in mental flexibility will lead to creative breakthroughs. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You know right away when a thing is not for you. Your “yes” and “maybe” answers take longer. You’ll get a feel for a thing, gather facts, see it in different lights and times. It’s not a process to rush.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your power move: get someone’s attention and then get right to the point. You’re interested in making things happen quickly for people. You’ll attract the same from others. When people value your time, they value you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You don’t wait for things to be happy about; you’re just happy and then sweet things happen. The warmth and kindness of your smile will brighten days, starting with your own and encompassing the entire world via a butterfly effect.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll be the recipient of admiration. Give yourself unselfconsciously over to it and let yourself be respected and praised whether or not you feel you’ve earned it, because it is impossible to know the extent of what you mean to others.
