HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

Happy birthday. Your status improves this year; it’s something to do with the skills you pick up over the next three months. Financially, February and March represent a growth period. In April, you’ll gain the upper hand in a situation you’ve long wanted to rule. You’ll celebrate love all year, but especially in February and July.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Intellectual efforts simply won’t have the weight to motivate you long term. Transformation is emotional. What do you think it would take to create a mighty change of heart?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Sometimes happiness is other people and knowing you can depend on them. But right now happiness is not having to depend on anyone. Economize to make this happen.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Opportunities aren’t as rare as everyone says. They actually are quite plentiful and even more so when you learn the best way to talk about what you want.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): People like to be around success, as long as that success isn’t claiming how successful it is. It will be better to err on the side of modesty and discretion than to speak what might be considered boastful words.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You know that caring is a constant thing that you can’t do once and then expect it to count forever. That’s why you’ll busy yourself with demonstrating your affection yet again.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You could charm people into buying things, but it’s always better when they really do need what you’re selling. They’ll be happy to pay you to solve their problem.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Good design and happiness are linked. When your environment supports you by allowing you to do what you need to do with great ease and aesthetic satisfaction, you’re happy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): When you have a feeling that the outside world is about to contradict your best expectations and instead validate your worst ones, fear creeps in. Vanquish fear by vanquishing expectation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): There’s a negotiation to tend to, and you have some competition, too. The person who listens closely and has the most accurate reading of a situation will make the best deal.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your favorite obsessions are the new ones. The only problem is, you haven’t found them yet. Ask around and hang out where people are talking about the latest buzz.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It will be easier to tell a version of the truth than to try to cover up potentially unpleasant information with a white lie. The thing about white lies is they have a way of changing into bolder colors.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): When you’re in a state of loving admiration, you feel like you’re in heaven. Be aware that the person you’re admiring, however, may feel self-conscious instead. Your sensitivity will be appreciated.
