HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

— Happy birthday. Your expectations of yourself change as you realize that you’re capable of more. February marks a breakthrough involving your health and self-care. With new vibrancy, you attract friends and partners in March. April is your chance at a role you’ve long had your eye on.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): A band that’s a one-hit wonder in one country sometimes has a string of hits in another country. Similarly, be careful not to prejudge the talent you see today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The person who owns little can move on a moment’s notice. Sometimes you fantasize about being that person, but right now you have to admit it’s nice to be surrounded by stuff.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): The ones who say it’s better to see the bright side underestimate the risk of blind optimism and the permanence of the word “always.” Ten percent skepticism might serve you well.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): Don’t toil unnecessarily in the harsh elements. That’s like skiing uphill. Look around for the equivalent of a ski lift.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’re even better now than usual at reading people, so you can tell which ones like you, need you and want you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Avoid spending too much time with those who don’t value you.You are depriving your loved ones of your sweet attention.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Developing more passion and positivity doesn’t mean you have to be exclusively upbeat. There’s something to be said for authenticity now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): It may feel to you like someone is deliberately trying to hold you back. This is not the case. Rather, it is a sign that you should find more birds of your feather so you can get your flock on.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Keep investigating. Thanks to the research you do in the next three days, you’ll have brilliant ideas.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The old computer science adage suggests “garbage in, garbage out” - a phrase that applies perfectly to your creative situation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may realize that it’s on you to deliver a massive amount of work today. You drive yourself harder than anyone, and you’ll be pleased with your performance.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ve lived your life by a simple success principle: What you focus on grows, what you ignore shrinks. Sometimes you are not even aware that you’re using this spiritual law, but today you will be fully cognizant of it.
