HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY:

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Respect is one of those things that has to be given before it is received. Following the rules and customs will be easy when you know what they are, and tricky in foreign situations.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). What you pay attention to will love you back today. Consider turning some of your focus inward. Attention to your deeper feelings and subconscious layers will repay you in resounding fulfillment.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Relationships will be eventful in both good and bad ways, but when they are built from the heart, whatever happens, love will be the constant — a rhythm uncomplicated, consistent and enduring.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The way you see things may not match up with how others do, and that only makes it even more important that you capture memories in your own way. Your point of view is vital to the big picture.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Looping thoughts lead nowhere. Order them into a mental arrow instead. This is best done with action. Look straight ahead and shoot yourself into the future. It’s awaiting you!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There are those who have a cause and those who have a plight. You could help in either case. Those with a cause will pay the help forward. Those with a plight will continue to require the same help indefinitely.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Small changes throw off your plans. You’d rather the changes were big instead! If things aren’t going to go the way you imagined, you’d rather be very surprised than mildly annoyed.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Those who are highly motivated by the last hours of a deadline (which is a nice way of saying “procrastinators”) will get just the inspiration (push) they need to finish strong (or at all!).

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Style doesn’t necessarily cost money, though it does take creativity and effort. Put in the time to learn what works for you. You love how good style makes you feel and how people react to you as a result.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Into every relationship, a little rain must fall. Conflict is normal, and when done right, working out differences will bring people closer together. Lead with compassion and you won’t go wrong.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Saying “I love you” doesn’t always occur to you, but when it does, don’t hesitate. Someone needs to hear the words and feel that they are valued for just being themselves.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Appearances lie. People who seem like they should be happy often aren’t. You’ll see past the exterior and connect with how people are really feeling instead of projecting onto them what you think they should be feeling.

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You’re the novelist of your life. You’ll center your plot around a beautiful event this year. A perfectly imperfect relationship dances through your days. Tenacity is the quality that influences your work life. The payoff that comes at the end of an arduous journey will be strong indeed! Young people study you; older people hire you. Virgo and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are 1, 4, 49, 13 and 27.
