OPINION

Horoscopes by Holiday

Happy birthday (Sept. 24): You focus on enjoying people, and you dedicate yourself to the causes that improve their lives. It's a social value that keeps your days interesting and filled with love. A private wish will become a public prize. Apply new strategies for work and finance in 2022. There's more than one reason to learn and ride trends.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Having been lost at different points in your life, you consider it a blessing to know your purpose and fulfill it. Daily structures provide health-inspiring rhythms, even if the actions themselves aren't astoundingly healthful.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Needs are not weakness, and limits are not always negotiable. Pay attention to what your body is telling you. Sometimes, the tougher move is to take care of yourself instead of muscling through.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): In all matters of construction — including relationships, companies and physical structures — stability is the first tenant of the build. Do not lay a foundation on anything but the most solid ground.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): The only makeover worth taking on is your own, learn the lessons and enjoy the results. As for the others, inspiring them will be much more effective than trying to change them.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It's time to stop comparing yourself and focus on what you have at hand. In addition to a unique collection of talents and resources, you are truly gifted with a sharp mind and the ability to quickly learn what you need to do to succeed.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The rules will go out the window, and everyone will act according to their understanding and feelings in the moment, allowing a prime opportunity for you to cleverly arrange things to benefit you and yours.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): When a baby cries in public, it activates all mothers within earshot to care. This is how you respond to the cry of a soul. Your heart reaches out to all cries within your radius of feeling.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Energy flows through everything. Though perhaps there is not "good" and "bad" energy, there is certainly energy more or less conducive to your thriving. Invite that kind, and make an unobstructed path for it to enter your world.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Activities are only as productive as they are healthy because the cost of anything that wears away at your health outweighs the benefits. What gets done is far less important than the spirit in which it is done.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You want to be the reason someone smiles today. It's easy for you because you've gotten in the habit of watching what people enjoy and looking for the opportunities to put it in their path.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If only conflict were like a pest you could trap and carry far away from you and set free in some distant field. Well, maybe it is. Give it time and distance and see what happens.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Faith keeps you going when you lack evidence that your efforts will pay off. But don't rely on faith alone. Keep acquiring more experience until you see tangible results.

IMPULSIVE LUNAR ASPECTS

The moon, Venus and Uranus do little for impulse control. When it seems that short-sightedness and self-centeredness are ever-present, consider what it means to be noble-minded. Solitude and contemplation make space for quality thoughts, the sort that expand to include a higher good, a great number of people and a long span of time.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST

  • ARIES: Someone is interested in you. Stay alert to the clues, each a subtle invitation.
  • TAURUS: The one you laugh with enriches your life.
  • GEMINI: What your family thinks of your love interest matters much more than is logical.
  • CANCER: Love leans toward better angels. The one who loves you will push you to do the very things you said you wanted to do.
  • LEO: The know-it-all does not. Everyone is vulnerable and clueless. You may as well do it your way.
  • VIRGO: You’ll take advice of others into consideration, but your love life is a different kind of story and runs by its own rules.
  • LIBRA: What you need to learn about the other person cannot be found through questioning. It must be observed.
  • SCORPIO: You’re always watching out for a chance to make someone smile.
  • SAGITTARIUS: People communicate most powerfully by living their values, not talking about them.
  • CAPRICORN: Be careful how you wield that charm. One small gesture will be the start of something of consequence.
  • AQUARIUS: First you’ll get the sense you were meant for something different; then you’ll discover just what.
  • PISCES: Love is a chord. Savor the resonation. Don’t spoil it with too much talk.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND

As the Gemini moon reflects the sun in the early degrees of Libra, the air sign energy doubles up with social buoyancy. Talk is easy, quality conversation only slightly more of an effort, which the resulting pleasure promptly repays. Do as much in person as possible, only because the glow of face-to-face mutual admiration will be far more fortifying than anything offered by the glow of a screen.
