Horoscopes by Holiday


Happy birthday (July 7): It's a liberating year when you will feel emboldened to be even more fully yourself. You needn't hide your magnificence to fit in. Neither do you feel pressure to pretend to know things you don't.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Unless you're having fun, the people around you won't be either. Don't you owe it to them to make yourself happy? Shifting your priorities around or handling a responsibility differently will make all the difference.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will be sensitive to location. When you feel at home in a place, you will feel differently about everything. There is a sense of expansion and lightness inside. Your thoughts will drift to happy places.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have tried to strike someone from your list, move them out of your heart space and bid them adieu, but it hasn't worked so well. Your heart won't let them leave. You once again get swept into love's swell.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Self-expression invigorates you. You would think it would deplete you, as you're giving off so much energy in the process. However, the energy isn't really coming from you. In creative acts you will be a channel of vitality.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Like attracts like. When you walk into a room, you'll gravitate toward people whose energy matches yours. You will gauge your performance based on what you receive and make small adjustments to get your desired response.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It is so easy for you to focus on what other people need that sometimes you neglect your own needs, or do not even realize that they exist. Take an inventory. Forget the world outside to assess the world inside.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You never know what others are thinking about you, and for the most part it doesn't affect your plans, focus or work. But does it please you to know that someone is smitten by your lovely manner and the fine attention you give?

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The intrinsic logic of a belief has little impact on its effectiveness in motivating people. The power of a belief doesn't come from how true it is. What matters is the depth of its hold and who is holding it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Even the most easygoing people can be unreasonable at times. You've been known to accept a person's illogical stance as a quirk of their passion or creativity, and you should afford yourself the same grace.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Although no one else can stop you, you might be wise to stop yourself every so often. Take breaks. Good, healthy pacing allows you to avoid the burnout that could prevent you from collecting your prize at the finish line.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The best collaborations will be between people who don't entirely agree. Even teams fraught with tension are better than unanimous groups. For those willing to listen and learn from each other, diversity is strength.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A possession that does not technically have the ability to talk is nonetheless clamoring for your attention in its way. Get to work on this one as soon as possible so you can get back to peace and quiet.

LUNAR INVESTIGATION

Our every action is motivated. The motivation may be logical or whimsical, mysterious or faulty, but one thing it always is: there. Nothing we do is unmotivated. This is the principle that helps you figure out yourself and others as the moon gathers information, forming different angles to five luminaries on a mission of understanding.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Ringo Starr has been known to take advantage of this lucky solar return by releasing a single on his birthday. Currently the legendary Beatle is touring with his All-Starr Band and venturing into the Web3 world with his “Ringo Starr NFT Collection.” Starr is a Cancer with Venus in Gemini and four luminaries in entertaining Leo. Three Taurus planets suggest stamina, determination and longevity.
