HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

LITTLE ROCK — Happy birthday. It is automatic for you to think of others.You are helpful by nature. And this year you are the one who gets pampered and tended to. It feels strange at first, but try to enjoy this well-deserved turn. An investment pays off in August. Take a romantic risk in October - your instincts are keen.

You’ll be written about in February.

Pisces and Libra people adore you.ARIES (March 21-April 19): Like a porcupine, you shoot quills in self-defense. And the fact that they are imaginary doesn’t make them any less painful to those who are on the receiving end.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If you’re being completely unique and true to an independent vision, then you certainly will not be fashionable - trendsetters never are until after their idea has caught on.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Try not to expect yourself to do the work of a master when you’ve only just begun to learn the craft.The magic is in the learning, and you wouldn’t want it any other way. Be patient.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): If you were to list the activities that fill your current life, you would find a glaring task that eats away the hours and doesn’t bring you much fulfillment or pleasure. Figure out how you’re going to put that one to rest.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You have an instinct about how to create an atmosphere and mood. Use your dramatic flair to bring people together. Set the stage for a wonderful experience, and then invite people to enjoy it with you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are filled with curiosity and a driving desire to expand your mind. You’ll have three times the number of requests, queries and prayers you usually would, all of which will be answered in time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23):You want to be where you are, doing what you’re doing.You thoroughly enjoy yourself.

This is not as common as it should be among humans, and that’s why people gravitate to you now as if you had some supernatural power.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You are becoming savvier by the minute.Whether you are hunting for wild game or a job, you’ll approach it the smart way.You’ll form a strategy, learn the terrain and get a solid understanding of your target.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Give yourself a break.You need space in order to realign your priorities. Instead of doing what you think people want and expect of you, pour your generosity into your highest goals.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You know what motivates you and what drains you and wastes your energy. Now all you have to do is add more of the former to your life and cut out the latter. A Scorpio helps you get the job done.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):You’ll be amazed at what siblings and colleagues do to help you. It may seem like over-the-top generosity, but the truth is that you would do the same and more for them, and probably have many times before.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Popular work is not the same thing as good work.What you’re doing now may not be understood by a majority of people, and that’s why you must have great faith to follow through.
