Horoscopes by Holiday

Happy birthday. Your cosmic gift is one of determined and exclusive focus on the things that are going to make your life better. You'll be freeing yourself of an anchor of sorts over the next three months. In March, family works together and all are lifted. In 2018 you'll take pleasure in the sale of something that helps people.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): If you can manage to delay the usual knee-jerk verdicts humans love to form in the first 10 seconds of another's presentation, you'll set off a series of sweet events, all made possible by your listening.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Make sure you're on the same track with the other person; that way, you'll avoid the problems that come with making assumptions. Tonight you'll get the chance to show the team that you play fair.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): With most things you tackle today, the result will be better if you delay the payoff for as long as possible. It will work in everything from relaying information to governing your own willpower.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): There's so much you could say on matters, but since you're all too aware of the short attention spans that most people have, you'll aim your words toward a particular destination and leave out anything that doesn't fit the bill.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You'll come across those who've yet to discover their own depths. Maybe they are afraid or haven't had any reason to dig deep. Or maybe they've lacked role models. Regardless, the relationship can only go as deep as the shallowest person.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): To suspect that you're the underdog isn't exactly an uplifting feeling, although you can take heart in the fact that everyone loves an underdog. Go forward in full faith that you have a chance at victory.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Humans love to assign reasons for things that happen, to bridge the gaps of logic and close every case. The trouble is that what follows is often praise or blame. And sometimes there really is no definitive "responsible party."

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): No one ever influenced the world by being the same as everyone in it. But if you don't seem at least somewhat like the others, they'll mistrust you. Group acceptance will be required. Start with what you all have in common.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It's as if you were designed for adventure. When the others are afraid to go first, your trailblazing nature takes over. March forward and the others will follow.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It's fun to be in unfamiliar places when you have a guide. But today there probably won't be a clear model, and you'll have to make do by observing the people around you who seem to know.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Like a nice neighborhood that wants to preserve the peace, your life could use a few speed bumps -- constructs you've put in place specifically to slow yourself down, thus preventing accidents.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The scenario is fresh, and you're still deciding who you want to be. Consider what each role requires. For instance, winners take chances. Heroes take risks to help others. VIPs make others feel important.
