HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

— Happy birthday. You get to know yourself better this year and discover what you really want in life. The next six weeks are experimental, and a series of temporary situations helps you understand what your next move has to be. An unusual education begins in August. November brings healing for your family. Aquarius and Sagittarius people adore you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Sometimes other people’s drama is hard to distinguish from your own drama, especially when those “other people” are your loved ones. Unless someone really needs your protection, stay out of it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Even if the only person you’re competing with is yourself, it’s still not a fair game because you’re never the same person two days in a row. Competition isn’t the point. Showing up consistently to do your best is what matters.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): The voice inside you, frankly, can be a bit of a bully if not kept in check. You’ll be more aware of your mental self-talk, and through that awareness, you’ll tame this harsh influence.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): You’ve known true happiness before, and now you may feel like you’re chasing after it, powerless to bring it back. The answer is to stop chasing and start building.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):Your love of stories isn’t an indulgence; it’s a necessary part of your growth. A good book will suck you in, and you’ll never be quite out of it. It will become part of the way you see the world from now on.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There are not enough hours in the day to reply to every call, letter, e-mail and sales pitch that comes your way. Furthermore, you might be happier replying to none of them today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): If you’re in a hurry, the first thing to do is slow down. This will prevent you from making mistakes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Strangely, taking on responsibility makes you feel lighter.The more people depend on you the less likely you are to give up. You gain strength and become capable of more.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ve been thinking and planning long enough. It’s time to jump in.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Thomas Jefferson advised, “When angry, count to 10 before you speak. If very angry, 100.” When frustration levels rise, hit the pause button, and they will fall just as quickly.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Only you know what pleases you the most. This is a day to slide through that conduit to happiness instead of taking one for the team or compromising for the pleasure of others.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You have a feeling that you can help people, and you’re right. The first one you should help is you.
