HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

— Happy birthday. You’ve pushed yourself hard. Now take a breather. Even though the next three months feel like a lovely coast, you’ll learn from this period of your life. May brings family bonding. In late June, work gets more challenging and, after you rise to the occasion, more lucrative, too. Love makes life exciting in August. Aquarius and Gemini people adore you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your joy may be playing tricks on you. Making happiness your ultimate goal will not bring you happiness. However, working toward a worthy purpose will have a happy side effect.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “You are loved. There’s an invisible world all around you. A kingdom of spirits commissioned to guard you, do you not see it?” From Jane Eyre, by your sign mate Charlotte Bronte, and most applicable.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You have a talent that you never think of as such: You can quickly unwind your mind and change gears when it’s time. This ease you feel in the transitions will help you win at life today and beyond.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): If your body expects a certain sensation, it will not feel it as acutely. It’s the surprises that hurt or thrill your senses the most.You’ll use this principle to your advantage.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You have marvelous potential for getting what you want out of whatever kind of relationship you focus your powers on. This is true mostly because you’re so adept at sensing what others need and offering it in exchange.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You can improve other people’s moods just by listening to them. You have a way of making people feel heard and understood on deeper levels.Your ears are instruments of healing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): When accidents happen, you have a mature approach. Life has taught you not to take things too personally. However, if you think someone hurt you on purpose, that changes the scenario.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Your offerings are strong, and you present them in a very appealing light. In the end, it boils down to confidence.Your opinion of yourself will be the determining factor in whether you get a deal or not.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You have reason to be ever so cautiously optimistic. Expecting to have an easy road will make the road harder. Conversely, preparing for hardship somehow makes you rather magically immune to it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There’s humor in the argumentative banter that goes on between you and a loved one, though you don’t always see it as funny in the moment. The evening’s objectivity makes prior interactions seem ridiculous.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Preconceptions will work in your favor. Play out scenarios in your head as a way of getting ready. Think a situation through before enacting it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll exert high energy for most of the day and then hit a definite turning point this evening. Relax when it’s time to relax, and you’ll save yourself from burning out or feeling run down later.
