HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
The moon losing luminosity in the sign of Aries has us in the dark about our warrior spirit, and maybe that’s a good thing. There’s much worth fighting for, but there’s far more we humans end up fighting over that’s not worth it at all. This is an opportunity to reassess whether the hills we stand on are really the ones we want to die on.
You’ll deal with bureaucracy. If you try to make too much sense of the ever-evolving rules and regulations, it only compli- cates things. Jump through the hoops and keep moving.
The person inside an experience is the only one who really knows what it’s like. You get the most out of life by living fully in your own situation. You’ll resist the temptation to spend too much time thinking about what others are doing.
Glory-seekers are harshly judged, yet true glory is never really confined to one person. Glorious victory involves and inspires many. If you’re motivated by big wins, go for it. You won’t be the only one winning.
Now is the time to either take action with great intention or give up. There is no inbetween mode that will yield results. Better to quit now and try again later than to invest halfhearted energy.
Problems happen on one plane and get solved on another. The difference in vantage is crucial. Fortune favors you as you step out of the familiar zone and move to an uncomfortable place to see the problem from a new angle.
Whether or not things go to plan doesn’t matter in the least to you because, bottom line, it’s fun to be you. And when you’re around good people, the joy you take in just being yourself isn’t something you have to hide.
You’ll have to work at conversation. Find your “go-to” statement. A fun fact or headline from the realm of sports and entertainment could be just the icebreaker.
While people around you play their advantages and find their opportunities, you’ll be focused on mutually fulfilling exchanges. Success will be yours over and over.
Don’t be too quick to eliminate tension – not until you know its source, cause, effect and nature. Tension may be holding the whole thing up. Energy is stored in the cord. Cutting could be dangerous.
Keep looking for like minds. You need a few more to bravely move out of your element. You’re bigger than the situation and you’re just the one to break the ice.
You’re a learner, motivated by the sheer pleasure of knowing, understanding and doing more. External factors such as remuneration or recognition will hardly factor into your decisions.
Some are excited by the idea of enjoying life while others are daunted by pressures of “having fun” unsure exactly how and why to do it. You’ll be a guide for those in the second category.
A highlight of the year: delightfully challenging people who inspire your most playful instincts. You’ll dance with equally talented partners. You’ll do work better, faster and cheaper and be promoted for your expertise. Your association with old friends bring new prospects. Family makes you proud. Cancer and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 12, 2, 29 and 14.
Whether he’s teaching Conan O’Brien dance moves or starring in one of the well over 100 major entertainment enterprises in his illustrious career, a truer original than Christopher Walken would be hard to find. Walken was born when the sun and Mercury were in energetic Aries and the moon and mars were in eccentric Aquarius. Look for him in “Severance” and the crime comedy “The Offenders.”
