HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

Happy birthday. You’ll know which sacrifices are necessary. The next seven weeks see you accomplishing a fitness- or image-related goal, and someone notices in May. Love sends you to new places. October brings specialized training. Finances are best in September and November. Libra and Scorpio people adore you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’re a favorite among your group today. Since you are likely to get what you expect, it behooves you to keep those expectations high and, more importantly, to let the people around you know exactly what they are.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Growth is rarely a function of haphazard luck, and though expansion often thrives on a little whimsy, it’s usually based on systematic efforts. In short, you expect to work hard, and you will.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21):Your curious mind will be drawn to answer the question of how things are accomplished. But right now your main concern should be that they are indeed accomplished. Strive for concrete results.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): Even though you know what you can do, others need proof, and not only the proof you can provide, but also the proof testimonials, references, happy customers and a good reputation can provide.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll have to be firm to get what you need. People will respond quickly to your soft words spoken with confidence. Soft words spoken with trepidation will be interpreted as weakness.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Everything you do, including the efforts that don’t work at all, is part of your personal game. The wins and the losses are equally necessary, so don’t put more stock in one over the other.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): A person who doesn’t seem to be contributing much to the scene is more powerful than you think. This person’s absence would be greatly felt, perhaps even more so than his presence.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Money is part of the game, but it’s not the most important. Much of what’s being exchanged is far more valuable than money, and because you realize this, you’ll be favored in today’s interactions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t relinquish your control or humble yourself to anyone. Treat everyone as equals. Whether their job pays more or less than yours is completely irrelevant.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):You’ll make a clear delineation between work and play. When you work, you are all about service. You will share every skill and product you can to help others. When you play, focus on you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The followed and the followers are kindred spirits. If you can appreciate something, it is either already inside you or the potential of it is a part of who you are.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You will be pleasant and accommodating to others. The deeper souls among them will see into your more serious and profound side. It takes one to know one.
