HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY
Lunar Squares of Selfishness
On a day rich in lunar squares to highly influential planets, it can be helpful to remember that everyone needs to feel important. To recognize this need in yourself and get the attention in a way you’re proud of is the stuff of superior skill. Some try to prove their importance by framing themselves as the best of the best or the worst of the worst. It’s an absurd way to compete, but hyperbole is natural for beginners.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll make quite an impression by being true to yourself. You come across as unselfconscious yet thoughtful, striking that rare combination that makes others feel instantly comfortable with sharing what they normally might not.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Instead of analyzing every detail of a relationship, you’ll rise above it and gain a clearer view. This fresh perspective will help you understand what’s working and where your heart really wants to go.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’d rather get an honest, uncomfortable truth than a sweet-sounding lie that fades with time. Truth might be hard to swallow at first, but you know it’s a better foundation than any temporary comfort.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). The current environment is teaching you, but memories can teach you even more if you let them because to some extent you are reenacting a pattern. Reflecting on a situation will add new layers of insight and a breakthrough moment.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You hold back just enough to inspire the other person to reach out, which works time and again. Yet were you to keep this up, you would surely hit the day when it would cease to work. Plan for a big gesture of surprise generosity soon.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Do what you want, not what they want. Even if it’s the same thing, intention matters. It will go right if you’re doing it for yourself, and things will progress differently if you’re doing it because another person prefers it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Trust your instincts — when your gut says “no,” respect that boundary and move on. It’s possible to stay open to life’s opportunities without saying “yes” to every single one.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ve been industrious, and now it’s time to let your mind unwind. Lounge with intention. Make rest your craft. Let yourself recharge fully because this is much-needed rest that will set you up for a strong push in the days ahead.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You never know from where your next inspiration will come or how useful the ideas that emerge from it will be. This is why you’re willing to entertain offbeat characters and notions that just might be weird enough to work.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Communication isn’t always talk. In fact, too much talk can detract from clear communication, as it makes it harder to separate the signal from the noise. Sharpen your point with the flint of brevity and it will pierce perfectly.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Don’t compete for attention, rather hold out for the focus given from genuine interest and curiosity. Those who don’t lend it are not a good match. Take yourself out of the competition. Shine your light your way and attract your people.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Friends and lovers are wonderful supporters, but they may not be ideal accountability partners. This is one of those times when you need someone outside of your personal circle to offer you the necessary objectivity to stay on track.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 8). Your reality is no accident. Destiny is out to delight you. The best part is, you won’t have to guess about this. There will be evidence everywhere you turn. A beautiful environment, the love in someone’s eyes, the means to go somewhere new and taste other cultures, and the work that lets you buy, sell and profit. More highlights: You’ll be celebrated for the truly smart solutions you bring to a team that would not be the same without you. Your family grows and so does your heart. Aries and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 5, 1, 12 and 4.

Natal sun, Mercury, Venus, Uranus and Neptune are all ablaze in Sagittarius, as abundantly evidenced notably in her approach to social media, highlighting humor and those bold, truth-telling tendencies, whether she’s addressing industry dynamics or connecting directly with fans.
