Horoscopes by Holiday


Happy birthday (Nov. 30): You'll win many times over, sometimes quite big, so you are called to be vigilant against the enemy of pride. Continue to think in terms of service to your people. Truly, you gain the most from your own selflessness. Beautiful experiences are born of your creativity and require very little money to pull off.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You have restricted yourself. Now, it's tempting to lift that restriction, break the rule or change the plan. Something's got to give — you still get to choose exactly what.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In some ways, you grew up fast. Gaps in your development, steps that got missed when you were leaping into adulthood, can still be filled in. Anything that inspires a childlike glee in you will help.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You are drawn to success stories, and you'll enjoy hearing of impressive achievements. You're starting to get the sneaking suspicion that you have what it takes to do the same.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): You're willing to question who you are and what you stand for because you understand, at a deep level, that these things can change. You're always developing and growing, which is why new wonders will keep opening to you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It feels like you keep having to find your own way over and over. This lack of role models can be remedied. There are many who would beautifully support you if they only knew what you needed. Reach out and talk about it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): If you relax and enjoy yourself, will your appetite for enjoyment grow? Yes. It will, and it should. Can you name a good reason why your life shouldn't be a pleasure?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You love to see them smile, but there's a point in which this requires you to sacrifice your own. Don't let it happen. There's only one smile you're really responsible for, and the others are all add-ons.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Oversharing is a symptom of the times, though one to avoid now as it runs counter to the mysterious persona that is working so well for you. Keep your cards close to the vest.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You tend to see anger as a negative emotion, and it can be, but it can also be a driving force — the energy needed to fuel a swift change, learn a lesson or erect a boundary.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): To maintain an open mind, one door, the door of possibility, must be kept open. It's a heavy door and if there's nothing stopping it, it will close on its own. Optimism makes a solid doorstop.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Humanity is the virtue you are most known for. They won't always tell you, but the way you flow love, kindness and social intelligence through your days makes for a fuller experience for all.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Certain individuals are hard to relax around. This makes them difficult to read, which could put you at a disadvantage. Calm yourself so nervous, self-conscious energy can't interfere with your awareness.

FINAL THOUGHTS ON A NEPTUNE RETROGRADE

On the last day of Neptune’s retrograde, the water king, dreamy and wise, speaks to our fear of abandonment. “No need to judge yourself for primal attachments,” he says. “The closeness you crave is an essential part of your humanity, and an innate biological and psychological force. Can you see your need for connection as beautiful?”

COSMIC QUESTION

Q: “I noticed that you don’t pair Aries and Libras together. Is there a reason? I (3/26/66) have been dating a Libra (9/27/64) for almost three years. Things are great, but what do you see long-term? I appreciate your insight.”

A: There’s not a reason in the world that Libra and Aries can’t make a stellar love match, both in the long term and in the short term. They are both what’s called “cardinal” signs. This means that they are the initiators of the zodiac, not afraid to start projects or relationships and ready to build where no person has built before. You are a very independent person, and your Libra is more of a team player, so you avoid the power struggles that many couples endure. Usually your Libra defers to you, and you feel so relaxed in the relationship that you don’t mind giving up the reins whenever Libra wants to lead. I can see your partnership extending into the realm of business, as well, especially businesses that involve a quick profit turnaround such as flipping properties, construction, day trading, etc. Best of luck!
