HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

Happy birthday. Your inner determination is super-strong, and you have what it takes to be successful at a highly competitive endeavor. In May, you’ll learn what you need to know to do a job better or even be the best around at it. July brings financial relief.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Do not divvy up work that you can do alone. Who needs more problems? Instead, do it yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): What you do publicly will boost the membership of your fan club. Keep in mind, though, that this will only be successful if you spend a good deal of time in preparation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21):You’ll have to turn someone down, but you’ll do so in the nicest possible way.This takes planning and maybe even rehearsing in the mirror, but it’s worth it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22):You have a busy schedule, and you’ll probably have work that needs to get done tonight. Or does it? Some things can wait till morning.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If two people aren’t balancing on the seesaw, one has to move closer to the other. One person needs to move in and close the gap so both can feel playful.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):When you’re around people you don’t necessarily like, you may try to be nice - or even fake being nice - because it’s the civil thing to do. Get some distance quick, though, because pretending too long is harmful to all.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23):The tasks at hand will have you feeling grateful for the vitality you possess and may also have you wishing for an even more vigorous physiology, which is definitely within your reach.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You’re like a turtle today, and there are parts of the day in which the best thing to do is hide in your shell. But when the danger is past, you’ll have to stick your neck out.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll get special attention. You may not think you’ve earned it, but rest assured you deserve to enjoy it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):There are those in your vicinity whose moods are unpredictable. Don’t let them snag you into one of the bad ones. The best way is not to engage.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Focusing on who you are in the moment is more powerful than focusing on who you should be.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You set an example for others, and they usually follow it. When they don’t, you stand up for your beliefs. Because of this, you’re a person whom others admire.
