HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

Happy birthday. The union of your mind and body is a feature this year, and the talent you develop will marry the physical and mental in one expression. In the next 10 weeks, you will fulfill a commitment to loved ones that is unspoken but binding. You’ll provide for a large number of people in February and again in August.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): It is a well-known fact of human nature that if you make something difficult to obtain, most people will want it more. You are not “most people” and can see through trumped-up marketing ploys.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Stay confident in yourself and your abilities. It all works best when you stand with your head held high today. Don’t fold your cards. Whether you think they are good or bad, play them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You’re onto something, and you can’t do it alone. The right people are not listening. To make a difference, you’ll have to wake up someone.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): A difference of sensibilities will come into play, especially between generations. What you consider to be common knowledge, someone else considers to be radical free thought.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It’s like you’re working in a void. You need a brainstorming group. Their opinions may not be valid, but you’ll be better for hearing them.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You may dream of creating something that catches on, becoming wildly popular in your demographic of choice. Just be warned: This will be a mixed blessing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23):You’ll express a complex meaning with ease. It may feel as though you were always meant to deliver this message. And yet, don’t be surprised if you can’t say it the same way twice. It was very much a message of the moment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): A central relationship will improve when you stop worrying about it so much. Worry delivers a bad energy to the subject of your concern. This is a time to let it go.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Usually, wanting to impress is a setup for disappointment. But it’s different now.

You want to impress someone, and then that person is really impressed by you - a rare dynamic, indeed.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The trick is sharing in another person’s dream without sacrificing your own. Warning: It’s nearly but not totally impossible. If you’re going to attempt it, make sure the other person isn’t a narcissist.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You stand to gain recognition, earn money and, best of all, make a difference in the lives of others. So what are you waiting for? Act on your vision.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Conservatism is a behavior of those who have a lot to lose. In an area in which you don’t have much at stake, don’t play it so safe. You can afford to be experimental, loose and free.
