HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

Happy birthday. In the next seven weeks, you’ll beautify your home surroundings and get organized. You’ll be ready for the demands of May, which are all positive opportunities to increase the flow of love and money through your realm. Much good comes of focusing on what you love.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Everyone needs some degree of certainty about life, and you usually need less than others. That’s why it’s hard for you to understand why someone close to you seems to long for you to behave predictably.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The reason people sometimes tease those they like in a special way is because it is easier to elicit irritation than affection. The one who pays attention, even if that attention is annoying, is crushing on you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21):You can tell quite a bit about people by the way they put themselves together, but it’s nothing compared to what you learn when you hear them speak.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): Looking back on this day, the obvious best part will be the inspired folly you endeavor with a friend. So when someone says, “Want to come along?” join in the fun.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Passion is a flash pot - surprising, surging bright and disappearing just as quickly as it came. Bonded, committed love takes longer to catch on, and it burns longer, too.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’d rather quietly observe today than express yourself. You’re not trying to exercise great self-control or to weave a mystery, but that’s the effect as you focus on studying others.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): When you can’t seem to figure out how to get what you want in the moment, don’t stick around and try different tactics. Instead, remove yourself, get some perspective and come back.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You know more now than you give yourself credit for. You’ve learned the most from the hard situations you’ve been in, though some of that learning still needs to be claimed.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):You’ll have your choice of friends and allies. If you choose someone with a strong work ethic, you’ll build something together. If you choose someone with a strong pleasure ethic, you’ll enjoy life together.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are not afraid of making mistakes and prefer to make your own. That is why you can hold back from offering advice when people so obviously need it but won’t ask for it, and likely would only be annoyed by it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): To be creative - and you will need to be creative to solve today’s problems - the two sides of your brain must work together. Read aloud to get the hemispheres communicating.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):You get the feeling that you are being given a choice in what you do, but that the choice is one of default. You want to shake whatever controls are on you. Good news: You will only be manipulated insofar as you permit it.
