HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

Happy birthday. With curiosity as your guide, life unfolds before you in strange and unexpected ways. You’ll partner with people as adventurous as you are to terrific ends.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You know who needs help.You can see it in their eyes, their body language, word choices… this is delicate. Proceed gently, letting people know you are open to hearing and understanding them without directly asking.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):A gift can feel like a burden when you don’t know quite how to use it.Take a breath, thank the giver (or your lucky stars, if appropriate), and then don’t worry so much about it. Let this develop naturally.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): As it turns out, what you used to think was your fault is not your fault at all. There were obstacles you couldn’t understand at the time, factors in play that preceded your involvement. So shake off the guilt. It never was yours.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): This isn’t a competition. You don’t have to be the best, brightest, most creative, quickest, coolest or anything else. What you really need to be is finished with this deal so you can move on.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Just because the tag is missing doesn’t mean it’s free. Similarly, just because you do not currently understand the emotional cost of an interaction, it doesn’t mean there won’t be one.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):There are many people who will be very happy to see you do well.Knowing this will be a key part of your motivation. If you start to lose steam, then just imagine the smiles on their faces when you cross the finish line. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Human interaction involves a million tiny details. You’ll never get all of them right. So don’t harp on the little things that go terribly wrong. That’s part of it. Maybe even the best part.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Find the real thing.There will be no good substitutes. The fakes could work for a few days, but they won’t stand the test of time. So go a quest, if you have to, looking for the genuine article.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It’s good to know people’s reason for doing what they do, especially if they’re doing it with you. Of course, they may not be aware of the reasons themselves, but don’t let that deter you. You’re very perceptive now.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Maybe you don’t think what you’re doing is all that special, but it’s really not for you to say. How could you? You’re too close to the work to see what the others see, or to know the true value you bring. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’re feeling empowered to follow your own whims, especially when they lead you to different physical locations than you normally haunt.You’ll go where you please, and you’ll please where you go.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Don’t wake up a sleepwalker,” they say, though it’s unclear what would happen if you did. And what of the sleepwalking that doesn’t involve REM? The urge to gently nudge the wrongheaded may be too interesting to resist.
