HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

— Happy birthday. Success is easier for you to create than it once was. Having picked up some shortcuts, you’ll skip to what works. In June, you’ll rally the troops and lead them to victory. Relationships fortify you in July, and one in particular stands out. In August, you benefit from someone’s financial generosity. Put on a show in September.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You can let the past inform you without getting stuck there. Dwelling on the past would only prevent you from seizing the glorious opportunities of the here and now.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If your duties feel exhausting, consider taking a break from them altogether. There are times when doing nothing is far more productive. GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Even if your current situation isn’t ideal (and whose is?), you wouldn’t want to go back to where you were. Remind yourself of all you’re grateful for.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): A curtain closing doesn’t have to mean the end of the play, so don’t let it be a disappointing experience. More than likely, the curtain will open again after a complete change of scenery.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your ideas are stellar, but they may not be quite ready to present to the world. Keephoning them. Test them out on your core group of trusted cohorts.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A task no longer brings you joy, and you’d just as soon not do it, but your high level of responsibility won’t allow you to bail, so you’re stuck. Change your attitude and push through.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23):The moon favors you now, and so will other people.The consummate egalitarian, you may not be extremely comfortable with favoritism, but you’d do well to take advantage of it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): When you’re happy, you’ll be productive, effective and smart.When you’re not happy, nothing will go quite right. Make yourself happy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Answers are forthcoming, so you may as well ask the big questions. What you learn will rock your world.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Challenges will be solved by drawing on diverse ideas and knowledge. Cast your net wide.Talk to friends who have a background that is very different from yours.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You might be in a position to give criticism, and if it’s not all good, try to do it in person. Face to face is the best way to handle anything you have to share that’s less than complimentary.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You are a compassionate teacher.This is a gift you’ll get the opportunity to share with others today.
