Horoscopes by Holiday

Happy birthday. It will be a happy year, mostly because people will teach you about what's good in you. Knowing your best qualities will lead you to show them off in a big-time showcase in the new year. November will feel like a dream world. New characters will sparkle up your life in February. By no means should you compromise in April.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): It will feel as though you are waiting an awfully long time for what is already supposed to be yours. The sweetest rewards are often the ones that take the longest to be delivered.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): This is no time to start doing what you're told. Consider it, yes, but don't follow the directive blindly.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You will cast your vote in some way, probably with your money. Before you put in your figurative two cents (which actually costs thousands of cents), think of what you're voting against, too.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): Usually your mischief is spontaneous, but tonight it will benefit you to commit some premeditated misbehavior.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Impossibilities, quite simply, are not so. Strike that word from your vocabulary today, and instead hold your mind open to more options.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your environment will only feel as comfortable as the people in it. Those shopping for a new place to live should ask about the neighbors before putting down a deposit.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Doing what you like seems like a luxury, as there is so much expected of you. Of course, maybe all this work is keeping you out of trouble.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): It will feel as though you are in a race. Keep in mind that the one who accomplishes something first often doesn't get it right. Take the time to be thorough and test your theories.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The thing (or person) you depend on may not be available, which will inspire you to find new solutions to the problem or, better yet, decide that it never was a problem.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Memories will be dredged up -- bad ones, good ones and those that are best left uncategorized. Nod to the past as you would a passing acquaintance -- "I see you" -- and then move on.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The mistakes show you what you need to work on. They give you direction and purpose. So don't be afraid to make a few today. Without them, life will feel rudderless.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The prize will be yours, but not magically so. You'll have to work harder for it than you wanted to, but you're better for the work. In fact, in some way the work will save you.
