Horoscopes by Holiday

Your birthday wish is a tall order, but it's not out of line, nor is it outside the realm of possibility. Strides made in the next 10 weeks will make it so. A deal wraps up favorably next month. September highlights family togetherness. There will be exciting developments in the realm of love and relationships in October.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): What is it called when it seems like the whole world is conspiring to get in the way of "your thing"? Some call it bad luck while others call it a bad mood. Or maybe it's a sign.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Even with state-of-the-art tools, it is impossible to chart exactly how you experience the journey. Still, you'll be enriched by trying your very best to keep track.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Stocking your life with fun people has proven to be a stellar idea. It's part of the reason you're seeing a joke in most things now.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): Make others feel comfortable, at ease and better about themselves and you've suddenly more clout than the most confident and authoritative person in the room.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The current cosmic lineup is a vitamin shot to your imagination. Use your creative powers to visualize your next incarnation and you'll naturally find a way out of stale, negative patterns.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Some find comfort in knowing the numbers, but even statisticians don't live their lives by statistics. Share a feeling. It's more interesting than knowing and proliferating the cold facts.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You're witty. You could impress people with that, but for now let wit be your ace in the hole as you lean on other skills: empathy, listening, compassion, the desire to create genuine rapport.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): There are days when you can casually, lazily hanker for something and actually bring it to hand. Not most days though. Certainly not today. Desire makes things happen. Commit to what you want.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The greedy person is afraid of being overlooked and undernourished by life in some way. It's the same with other things as it is with food: Quantity doesn't equal nutrition.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The magician has to practice very hard to pull off the illusions but once the tricks are learned, executing them is easy. It's the same with humor, which is more magical than magic.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You may have heard the answers already from your current fold, but those answers didn't take hold, because familiarity sometimes causes deafness.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You've a sense of fun burbling up in you, and you can't help but share it. Kindred spirits will see the sparkle in your eye, and they'll get ready to catch whatever else you're throwing out.
