HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

Happy birthday. It’s your year to stop sacrificing so much and make your needs a higher priority, even if those needs happen to be for frivolous things like glamour, fun and thrills. A new friend introduces you to a different culture in June.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Because your commitment to the success of a group is so strong, you feel responsible for what happens in this regard whether or not you are the direct cause of it.When the group wins, you win.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll suspend what you think you know in order to experience what is really taking place.You’ll likely find out that at least some of what you thought you knew was wrong.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21):You’ll use your social savvy and political intuition to figure out whom you need to influence to help your project along.

CANCER (June 22-July 22):You’re ready to solve a troubling relationship issue. Where does your mind go when you engage with this person? The answer to that question will unlock the puzzle behind this problem.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Serious topics are sometimes best handled with levity.You’ll strike the right balance and help someone through a very awkward situation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):You are a visual person, but it takes more than a pretty face to hold your interest. You’ll be attracted to the person who engages your mind the best. Where your thoughts lead, your heart will follow.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23):You need to feel needed. Of course, it’s better to discover a need than create one. You’ll carefully observe your surroundings, inwardly asking yourself what necessary thing is lacking here.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): There are definite benefits to getting involved with you these days.When you feel good about the package deal that is “you,” everything else falls right into place.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you’re wasting time searching for keys, papers, etc., something’s wrong. Organization and success are so closely linked now that getting organized will be a power move.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s a day of fast fixes and brief interactions.What happens quickly and efficiently is still meaningful and actually may stick in the memory better than long drawn-out processes.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you can achieve a Zen-like “beginner’s mind” even though you’ve been down this road before and know what’s likely to occur around each bend, you’ll be richly rewarded (and surprised) by what happens today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):You have a stellar memory these days, but writing things down is still important.A pen and paper will engage your sense of touch and help you bring a higher degree of focus to the significant details of your life.
