HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

Posted: August 17, 2012 at 1:20 a.m.

— Happy birthday. Your genuine concern for others improves the world. Loved ones thrive under your care. Write down specific goals for the next 10 weeks to give yourself a crucial head start. You never stop learning, and the education you gain in September and October will be especially useful. Your earnings increase in 2013. Aquarius and Capricorn people adore you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The job you paid for might not turn out as hoped. All is not lost, though.This is a live-and-learn situation. Part of what you learn is that your needs and tastes are so specific that you might be the best person to serve them.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Semantics influence perception. That’s why car dealers advertise “pre-owned vehicles” instead of “used cars.” You’ll use semantics to your advantage.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You’ll reveal a common misperception, champion an underdog or counteract a stereotype. “The cleverly expressed opposite of any generally accepted idea is worth a fortune to somebody.” F. Scott Fitzgerald CANCER (June 22-July 22): You might be the person who always dedicates “Wind Beneath My Wings” to someone else, but don’t forget that you too are the wind beneath certain wings.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It could be said that you’re in your own little world today, but you’re there by choice.Yours is a land where you see possibilities that others don’t.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are in charge today. It’s not a group effort, though it takes a group to get it done. What’s happening is happening because you took responsibility or didn’t. You have the power.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): There’s something you can do that will later make others look at you and say, “I wish I’d had that idea.” If you know what it is, act on it now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Today is like an addition problem in which you already have the sum, but one addend is missing. What do you need to get to the other side of that equal sign?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may find this hard to believe, as you feel that you’re approachable, but some people see talking to you as a risk. They fear your rejection or judgment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may as well scrutinize your spending; you can bet that someone else is. Invest only in the items that have a positive, justifiable impact on your overall picture.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The actions that were successful in the past might be less so now, but stick to the plan. Cycles happen. Everything will come around.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The thing everyone assumes to be beneficial has a few flaws. You may privately seek the truth. Should you expose the flaws to everyone? Not yet.
