HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY:

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Just as it is human to be drawn to the safety of familiarity, it is also human to get curious and willingly submit to the discomfort of the unknown.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The best time to share your expectations is in the very beginning of an interaction, or just as soon as a boundary has been crossed. Other times get awkward, but it’s still better to communicate than not.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have a formidable ability to learn, and you’ll do it quickly as long as you’re out of your comfort zone. In fact, the more uncomfortable you are, the faster you’ll catch on.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you’re shooting without a target, any shot could be considered a bull’s-eye, or a miss. Having an aim is what turns an experience into a game. Any mark will be better than none today, so just pick one.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Willpower gets scarce when you’re already using so much of it to fulfill a basic human need. Self-discipline is made easier when necessities are covered including pleasure, novelty and acknowledgment from other humans.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Some of your thoughts are old scripts and mental clutter that is not to be believed. Be the master of your mind, not the servant. Tell yourself what to think and then repeat those fortifying ideas.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re really good at something. Showoff! It’s warranted and will be enjoyed. As one doctor suggested, “Look at me, look at me, look at me now. It is fun to have fun, but you have to know how.” — Dr. Seuss

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Attitude is everything. You don’t say “yes” unless you mean “yesssss !!!!! ” Understanding the many benefits from shouldering extra responsibility makes it easy to take it on happily.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). For the sake of time and clarity, direct communication is your typical style. Today, people’s feelings could use a gentler handling, so the roundabout route will be very much worth your while.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ve a burning drive to experience as much as you can in your time on Earth, which includes achieving certain ambitions. Remember to make time for these, or the hours get filled up reacting to daily life.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). From a distance, the rolling fog is mysterious, beautiful and mystical. When you’re in it, it’s disorienting and dangerous. Whatever you can do to get a higher perspective will free you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). While you’re perfectly capable of work that doesn’t involve your talents, designing a life that’s more in line with who you are is more efficient. It eliminates the energy you expend translating yourself or controlling your responses.

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: It will be exciting to finally get the chance to dedicate yourself to a special talent. Libra and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are 10, 34, 41, 38 and 12.
