Horoscopes by Holiday

Happy birthday. Long ago, you decided to outdo the competition, and that's exactly what will happen. It's a race, and you'll start out in the lead because of your enormous energy this time of year. In six week's time, the education you seek will play to your advantage. Philanthropy is the focus in December.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your thoughts link to one another chain-like. Change one link, and it will lead to a different thought and a different result. Create the chain, and you create your life.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Your standards and expectations may be different from those of your friends. Now you can help one another, playing a game of checks and balances.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Your day will be long but your night will be longer, and that's when all the fun happens. The evening brings one of the most exciting and eventful social opportunities you've had in a while.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): Your empathetic powers are strong, and you'll be able to tell that something is a little off with a loved one. Without prying too much, you'll get to the bottom of it before it blows up.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You love to contribute and would do so even if you didn't get any feedback or reward. Today, when someone tells you that your contribution is meaningful and appreciated, it's the cherry on your sundae.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don't worry too much about what's going to be discussed. Egotistical people will always find a way to turn the focus back to themselves. They are never more than one sentence away from the turnaround.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): The odd jobs you took in the past have prepared you for the completely normal job you will take in the near future. Today is about mentally preparing yourself for the challenges ahead.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Your choices may not be 100 percent healthy, but the very fact that you choose moderation over extremity is better for you than if you were to toe too hard of a line.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It will be important to observe how your interactions are landing, because you'll be setting up a social pattern that is likely to repeat hundreds of times.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You have an excellent sense of what's really going on. Your best guess is probably accurate, so act on it. Acting on it is better than talking about it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you put yourself out there, you're going to get good reviews, and bad ones, too. But you don't need to read any of them right away. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): The monologues that go on and on and on usually signify a person with too much time on his or her hands. You prefer to keep it brief. It's professional, and it's dignified.
