HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

LITTLE ROCK — Happy birthday. You’ll be entrusted with greater responsibility this year and will have more power to wield, as well.

Your attitude of modesty and service will help you transition into this new realm with grace.

Friends get you into new hobbies and interests in June.

You’lldo some of your best work to date in August. Aries and Virgo people are devoted and loving.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can be quick-tempered and impatient, but you are working on that.

You’ll be tested this afternoon, so take a deep breath, calm yourself and, if you have to, remove yourself from the source of stress.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll be asked to deal with the people others find confusing or generally difficult because you’re so good at this. Ask questions so that you may get clarification on the topic.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): There are at least 10 good reasons why you could feel proud of yourself right about now. So if you’re not exactly feeling that way, think of what those reasons might be and write them down for reinforcement.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): You wish you could know exactly what it is that ignites the passion in your heart, but such things are hard to define. It either clicks or it doesn’t. And today, for reasons that elude you, it does.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll refrain from any and all efforts that have a chance of being futile. Instead, you will home in on only those actions that you believe are useful and important, and you will get tremendous results.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Some so-called methods of self-improvement will instead lead to a diminishment of the good resources you already have. Consider that you might be fine just the way you are!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You might experience a motivational slump. It will benefit you to push through it, however sluggish you may feel at first.

You will gain energy and excitement as you go.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Self-discipline doesn’t always come naturally, but when you really want something, you’ll do what it takes to get it. So go for what you really want, and take those lukewarm objectives off your list.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Following your heart is great, but you also need practical tools to make love work. For instance, it would be nice to have a strategy for conflict resolution. Bone up on your communication skills, too.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You will be pulled by the intrigue of unfamiliar cultures. You will soon have the need to know a different language and will take great pleasure in learning it. There’s no time like the present to get started!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You will have something to share with your closest friends. Think about how this might best be presented.You have a knack for telling a story that has emotional impact and high entertainment value.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): An activity you used to do but got out of will now have renewed appeal. Don’t worry about whether you still have the touch. If you decide to jump in and try again, you’ll be even better at it this time around.
