HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

Happy birthday. Your goal this year is never-ending education. When you’re not learning, you’re not happy. You’ll bring excellence to maturity in November. There’s a special place in your heart for animals, and this love of yours will open doors in January. February brings excitement. Gemini and Sagittarius people adore you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Just because you ignore the facts doesn’t mean they cease to be. Or do they? You could argue it either way, given that much of what you ignore drifts out like so much flotsam never to return.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You have a desire to go somewhere and dig for buried treasure, so to speak. And you will indeed find it, just not in the first, second or third place that you dig. Be persistent.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): To kindle a light in the darkness of a bleak situation — that’s what makes you feel useful, effective and needed. The best part: You’ll do so more than once over the course of this day.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): Aim high with your goals today. If you shoot for the sun and miss, you’ll still be better off than the ones who shot for a bird on the electrical wire.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): When you lose your way, it makes no sense to run faster. Stop and consider the path, look for signs. Of course, today this is about your emotional (not your physical) landscape.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): What gives you answers is useless. The interesting thing is the question. What or whom makes you ask questions? Pursue that instead, and you’ll quite enjoy the day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Before you go to battle, you’ll exhaust every other choice you have in the matter. Of all signs, you realize most that wars do not bring peace to the land; they only bring vendettas.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): It’s common to be afraid of the dark and even more common to be afraid of the light. That truth-talker you know will tell it as he sees it, however inappropriate the statement may be.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If something is knowable, it might require trust, but not faith. Focus on the unknowable and note your feelings and thoughts. What would you guess about? What would you bet on?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There are those who do exactly what you forbid them to do. If you don’t want to do it and don’t want to hire anyone to do it, forbid a rebel to do it. Done.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When you think of goodness and integrity, you think of someone in the elder generations of your family. The same strains run through you, and you feel that it’s your job to uphold the high standard.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your movement expresses your inner spirit. That’s why today people seem to know things about you that you haven’t told them. They aren’t mind readers; they are body readers.
