HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

Happy birthday. Your limited view of yourself will be challenged this year. August brings the first in a series of small victories that add up to an October prize. Cancer and Sagittarius people adore you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): If you request things repeatedly, you’ll sound like a nag. So instead, you’ll take matters into your own hands and make it look like fun, too. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The task you’ve been dreading won’t be so bad. Once you get over your initial resistance, it will be smooth sailing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You’re a social person, but crowds can still cause you stress, especially when you have to keep track of someone or stick with a group. Evening offers the tranquility you need.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): Does acting “as if” something is true really make it so? Test the theory by assuming a warm familiarity with someone you hardly know.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Big projects require big efforts. But perhaps one of the most important efforts you can make right now is simply to get more sleep.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your manner of speaking may be different from that of others, but oh, how you get your point across!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): The difficulties of the past have made you strong and determined to do something remarkable with your life. Those who’ve had it easy may not relate to your past story.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Your talents will be highlighted, especially your artistic and interpersonal gifts.This creates a sheen of glamour around you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You have many friends, but the one who encourages you to give full, enthusiastic expression to your ideas is truly special.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): As your guiding planet pulls across the sky from the sun, you might be tempted to do whatever it takes to reach a goal.Take a step back and think about this.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The reason you go forward with duties you aren’t particularly thrilled to carry out is that you know a valuable secret: The bigger life happens beyond the small world of what you want to do.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Your understanding of human motivation and behavior will save you from a hassle. Stand up for yourself.
