HOLIDAY MATHIS HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April
19). Sometime you're going to decide to stop forcing yourself to do other people's version of fun and stick to the version that's all your own. Why not now? TAURUS (April 20-May 20). When hearts break, they don't heal all at once. In Shakespeare's "Othello," Iago says, "How poor are they that have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees?" You may still feel it. GEMINI (May 21-June
21). Your life flows best when you recognize what you need and you give yourself those essentials plus a pinch more for luck. But no more than a pinch! Because going too far past the essentials would set you back or get you stuck. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Setting yourself up to succeed will involve recognizing what and how much you can do and seeking help for the tasks that go beyond those limits. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
You'll step into a teaching position today. The education will go beyond you when you choose your pupils well. Who is likely to pay it forward?
Who needs the information most? VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The one you think of as a hero landed there quite by accident. Having much preferred a more ordinary route, this person found that life had other plans. You, too, will rise to the occasion when the time comes. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Physical, mental and emotional self-care is rooted in many practices (e.g., eating your vegetables, exercising, facing your fears) that don't seem like fun at the outset but are nurturing of your best self. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). When the situation calls for small talk, there's no getting out of it, so use it as an opportunity. Conversation is a kind of brochure that shows people who you are and what you can do for them. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Part of doing the right thing is doing it at the right time. If you took the action too far out of context, it would no longer hold such virtue. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Ever heard of "compassion fatigue"?
It's the sort of burnout that comes to those who care for and help everyone but themselves. Don't let it happen. Be the priority today. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). If you are to devote yourself entirely to your challenge, you'll need to put on blinders of a sort, to keep yourself from looking back or sideways. There is only one goal, and it is ahead. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Even in the closest of families, things get tricky around money. It's best avoided today. This Greek proverb will steer you well: "Eat and drink with your relatives; do business with strangers." TODAY'S BIRTHDAY
(Nov. 12). Welcome to your year of exceptional timing. In love, games and social fun, your impulse will auspiciously align with opportunity. More highlights this solar return: You'll accomplish something you didn't think you could. An event will go down in your personal history. And there will be a windfall to help you meet a goal. Pisces and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 40, 21, 10 and 30.
