HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

Happy birthday.

Your new year is marked by a powerful inner confidence. You no longer feel you need validation from outside sources, and ironically, praise and appreciation are lavished on youover the next 10 weeks. A long quest culminates in July. September brings a bonus. October is for building business. Sagittarius and Virgo peopleadore you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19):

You could get a cancellation, and this frees you up. Anyway, rushing around is so uncool. You’ll like your life so much more when you leave the extra time you need for goofing off.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20):

You’ll get the chance to demonstrate how responsible you are. The positive reception you will get afterward feels good, but not nearly as good as the self-respect you get from a job well done.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21):

When the creative inspiration strikes,you strike back by capturing the moment in a most unique way.You are playing a magical game with the muses, and that is why they will continue to favor you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22):

Sometimes your people lean on you to such a degree that you feel like you’re doing all the work. You’re not doing all of it, though - just most of it. Do less, and they’ll kick in with more help.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

Your secrets are safe with you. Not so much with your friends. This is no time to spill the anecdotes of your inner world, not even those that seem silly and harmless.Things get twisted in the retelling.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

Support your friends by attending their gatherings and contributing to the conversation in interesting ways. This isn’t as easy as it sounds.You might have to do some research to find appropriate conversational fodder.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23):

You keep comparing yourself to people who are much more experienced than you. It helps to drive you forward,but it can also be discouraging.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21):

You’re likely to go on a wild goose chase and wind up with not even so much as a feather. Are you better for the quest? It may not feel like it, but now at least you know which avenues not to turn down next time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

You can only do what you can, and that is enough.You won’t believe it, and you’ll be tempted to tire yourself out trying to push harder than is necessary.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

You’re probably still unsure about the best next move. And here’s something else to think about: There’s someone out there who would feel honored to be your mentor.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

Your next move will be a strategic one. Doing the right thing will be only slightly harder than doing the convenient thing, but it will save you from awkwardness and pain.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):

Asking yourself to do too much at once is mean. You wouldn’t do it to a child or even to a full-grown loved one. And right now you’re a bit fragile.
