Horoscopes by Holiday

Happy birthday. You'll go into this year with clear goals and wind up with a completely different set by the end of August because of all the inspiration you'll soak up over the next four weeks. Physically you're getting stronger, and in September you'll capture someone's fascination. October and February bring a windfall.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The shepherd and the sheep have an interesting relationship. The sheep are known to drift to new horizons and greener pastures at will. The shepherd expects no loyalty, but understands the job: Corral and protect.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): What seems boring to you is riveting to another -- not every other, though. Being a winner with your crowd will depend on choosing your audience or censoring yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You are driving yourself crazy trying to figure out the answer to a puzzle. Maybe this is about a forthcoming occasion and how to celebrate it well, or maybe it's about a relationship in general. Whatever it is, the muses are with you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): Results might not come as fast as you want, but keep at it. Faith is a muscle that needs to be exercised just like your others. In your love life, you'll receive the confirmation you've been wanting.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): This day echoes the biblical story of the prodigal son, i.e., the one who goes off and goes crazy seems to get the most and best attention -- not you. Perhaps you should straight-out ask for your due.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The song insists that "only the lonely" know the way the singer is feeling tonight. However, people who are not lonely but are very empathetic (like you) know, too, and will help the situation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Should emoji icons be used as punctuation? In the future, will this be the case? And if so, is this a dumbing down or a smarting up? These and more questions will speak to the emotional intelligence of you and your generation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Hopefully, you are still aware of the fun that is to be had under the sky. It's a lot. A lot more than you had yesterday, and a lot less than you'll have tomorrow if you play your cards right.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): A certain relationship will be on your mind all day. If this relationship had a soundtrack, what would that defining song be? The evening will bring a welcome change in mood.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Did you sleep better than you have in months? Are your stars finally aligning to the projection of your higher mind? No surprise: You're lightening up and straightening out at the same time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You do your best work when you are emotionally distanced from a problem. Clear your head; get away. Humor heals! Give your brain a break. Seek comedy.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Well, hey, might you say that the smarter a person is, the more engaged he or she is in what others might classify as "mundane"? This could explain today's simple fascination.
