HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

— Happy birthday. Change is a constant this year as you careen into the future (which you also happen to be creating as you go). In the next three months, your personal and professional passions will intermingle. Cultivate your burgeoning talent in January.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): It’s important to you to keep up a certain level of appearances, but when this is difficult, consider dropping the ruse.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You feel unpredictable and fun. You’ve already taken care of the ones who really need you, so avoid any other responsibility or obligation that could limit your ability to seize the day’s opportunities.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Insincerity turns you off, and you’re not interested in being sold on anything. So the one asking fluff questions in an effort to gain rapport is probably up to no good, at least as far as you’re concerned.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): You want to be loved, but not if it means giving up your freedom.You are careful not to accept favors from anyone who might want to own you in return.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Those who have been stuck in traffic know that under the right circumstances a person on foot can travel much faster than a vehicle. Small steps may seem inconsequential, but only to the inexperienced traveler.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):You like people and take the time to get to know them.You’re not trying to figure out “their deal” so you can offer advice and fix it.You’re genuinely interested. Your curiosity endears you to others.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Blood is thicker than water. You’ll remember this when the one who seems intent on driving you crazy also happens to be a person you’re obligated to be nice to for familial reasons.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): If it makes you feel good at the end of the day, do it. If not, don’t justify an action by trying to convince yourself that there are important reasons why you must.The proof of an action will be in the results.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Keep trying. You’ve heard it before, but right now you truly believe it in every cell and atom of your being:The only people who truly fail are those who never try.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Dysfunctional people are in your world for a reason - perhaps to teach you tolerance. You’ll find it easier to be around difficult people when you stop trying to fix them.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your memory will serve you well and perhaps better than you want it to. Processing past events will be a crucial step in your future planning.You’re too aware to make the same mistake twice.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Sometimes that which you imagine will bring you happiness doesn’t, or you underestimate the joy you could derive from simple experiences. But today your visioning powers will be both strong and accurate.
