HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

— Happy birthday. You’ll be a beacon for lost souls. You may save someone from loneliness or other peril. You’ll certainly bring levity and fun, making life more worth living for those in your company. Stylish influences will contribute to your ever-evolving tastes and interests. Make financial deals, especially with big institutions, inMay. Cancer and Virgo people adore you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): There’s a task that looks like fun, and yet you’ll be a bit intimidated by the prospect of diving into it alone. Ask a friend to join you - ideally, a bold Capricorn, Leo or Sagittarius.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Take initiative. Someone has to make the first move. Your willingness to do so will show that you are confident, and it also will give you an edge on the competition.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You won’t be able to force things to unfold. Think of life as a flower bud, still closed and waiting for the sun. If you try to open it with your fingers, you’ll only ruin it. Beauty comes from letting things open when they are ready.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): Situations that should, in theory, work out will be thwarted instead. Leave the scene for a while. Let the energy of frustration lift from the picture. When you come back to this tomorrow, you’ll have a breakthrough.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Once you know what you’re supposed to do, you do it quickly and without a problem. Getting to that point may take the entire day. Have fun in the “research and development”phase. All’s well that ends well.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll be inspired by learning about a variety of industries, cultures and subcultures. The lingo and ideas you pick up on will apply to your business or personal life.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Your best solutions seem to come when you’re not actively trying to come up with them. When you’re thinking of something else - or more likely, thinking of nothing in particular - the perfect fix pops to mind.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Never doubt that big things come from small steps. For instance, the small step of meeting someone new could change your future. Be ready to introduce yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You like to give people the benefit of the doubt, and yet sometimes there just isn’t any doubt. A person who seems to be judging you is, in fact, doing just that. But does it really matter what this person thinks of you?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Newton’s First Law of Motion states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest - unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. You’ll be that unbalanced force in someone else’s life.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll be monitoring your performance, reflecting on what has worked and evaluating all efforts in order to determine a future plan. Take a moment to celebrate how far you’ve come.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your mind has been chaotic, and now it’s ready to calm down. It will be as though life gently released your preoccupations into the ether and handed you a blank page upon which to start a new chapter of your story.
