Horoscopes by Holiday

Happy birthday. The setbacks you suffered in the past give you a definite advantage this year. You're attractive and will have many social opportunities. Financial dealings done exactly by the book bring a July windfall. August brings a highly charged political atmosphere. Use strategy and play the game to serve the highest good.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): What you learned long ago has been hanging around in your brain, waiting for the moment to be useful. That moment arrives today. You learned it then; you understand it now.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): It is easier to exercise self-discipline if you do not happen to have much of an appetite. Hungry people, however, are seldom very controlled. Also note: Today's hunger is not for food.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): The dreamy retrogrades will affect you positively today. You'll be struck with an idea about how things should be, and that vision is what will drive you, and a whole lot of other people, forward.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): If everyone is agreeing at all times, that does not mean there is no conflict. It might instead mean that there is a dysfunctional and passive-aggressive dynamic at work. Dare to disagree. It's healthy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Someone is so blinded by your dazzling skills that he seems to be tossing you every task that comes along. Pull others into the picture, and utilize their strengths as well.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It is not possible, nor is it wise, to take all of the suggestions that people give you. But when you do take one, you'll give credit and make your supporter feel valued, indeed!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You find the world extremely interesting, a testament to your curious mind and joyful countenance. You'll inspire someone who is sleepwalking through life to wake up and take a look around.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): There's something you need to do within a certain time frame, and you're not messing around. You know a wasted moment when you live it. Through vigilance, you'll stay on track.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your tolerance for the unorthodox will lead to good fortune. There is remarkable good that comes from unusual and odd people who are not widely accepted.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If ignorance is the root of all evil, then it makes more sense to teach than to fight. Unfortunately, not everyone is open to learning, but lead by example anyway, and this could change.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Thinking about what you had to do to get where you are, your self-esteem grows. The obstacles you've overcome are more indicative of your level of success than the position you hold.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): People will be honest with you when they have nothing to lose. But truth goes out the window when they want something badly. To gauge the situation, estimate the stakes. Factor in desire.
