HOLIDAY MATHIS HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

The intelligence you use to read the room is a communication beyond language. You tune into primal factors and understand how to best manage the social network before you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You don’t expect to be paid for every exertion of effort. Though an endeavor should ideally be its own reward, which is a kind of payment built into the action.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You have a talent for creating easy fun. People enjoy your challenges, and they will play the games you lay out and sign up for whatever daring excitement you propose.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Improvements can’t be made in theory; they must happen in practice. You can learn why and how something works, but that’s not enough to make it work for you. Experience is the best teacher.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

You are a master of silent communication. It comes with flexibility of focus. You zoom out or in as needed to get in sync with your target. With the right focus, you establish mental connection.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

An enthralling project makes you forget your worries and concerns. And when reality sets back in, you’ll have a fresh take on it. What was once important will seem petty or vice versa.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Relentless excitement can be emotionally taxing. You’ll take a break from drama as you gravitate to kind people with something interesting — but not too interesting — to talk about.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

The role of creativity is thought by some to be secondary to the main action — a garnish on the plate of life. But if you lead with your creativity today, remarkable improvements will blossom.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Many things you once wanted are no longer important to you. Either you got them already, or the want weakened until it disappeared. But there are still wants that remain unsatisfied. You’ll revive an effort to make it happen.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19).

You sense what people need and want. You have a better grasp of the big picture than many. With empathy, you open dialog. You’re perfect for a diplomatic mission.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18).

Tenacity brings success if you’re tenacious about something that is good for everyone. When the aim is selfish, persistence may still win, but it’s a hollow victory.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

It would be cool if loved ones could intuit your desire and fulfill it without you having to articulate a thing. This will not be the case, though. The best way to get what you want is simple: Ask for it!

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 29).

You’re knowledgeable, but not too proud to utter the magic words “I don’t know” so the world unfolds at your feet. As you lead with curiosity, you keep everyone on their toes, increase cooperation, and are instrumental in smooth operations. You’ll be honored and paid well! Gemini and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 30, 29, 17 and 5.
