HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY, BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
The moon in the sign of partnership offers up a square suggesting that no matter how close we are to our partners, there will always be matters of disagreement. There’s nothing wrong with disagreeing. Agreeing to disagree is usually the kind route, as exerting influence and trying to sway someone from an opinion usually says more about the need for power than it does about what’s right.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Complaining has its merits. It helps people know what’s not working. It can be the start of a fix. But knowing that complaints can also bring down the vibe, you’ll be judicious as to your tolerance of it, whether you’re the complainer or the listener.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You bond with others in many ways. Some of them are not positive, but that doesn’t make them bad. Trauma bonds, and shared experience of something more-or-less terrible can be a strong bond indeed — maybe the only good thing that comes out of some experiences.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your sign is known for wit, charm and a lucky style of communication. You often have the right words locked and ready to launch. Social life will be sweet this weekend as you lean into your gifts.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will commit to a beautiful act of kindness and it will land so well, bringing as much fulfillment to you as it does to the other person. This is the stuff a good life is made of.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re so creative and you’ll solve complex problems in ways others wouldn’t think to. It works best today when you apply this gift to solving other people’s issues, especially having to do with the technical or the logistic.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There are voids that simply can’t be filled by anything you’ve done or experienced already. You need “new,” and nothing else will do. It’s especially true for your social life.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you know you’re right, you’ll drop the argument instead of pressing the matter because you have no desire to make another person feel wrong. This instinct falls under categories like “diplomacy” and “kindness.”
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Don’t give too much to people up-front. No one knows what to do with it. The seductive arts are not just for romance. A slow reveal is better in any arena. The pacing of an experience is intrinsic to its success.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It will be your pleasure and honor to support another. To do this well is a talent in and of itself and one you are proud to possess, though it often goes unsung. You’ll give huge and memorable compliments.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The work is hard enough without a lot of gunk in the gears. Clear out the unhelpful thoughts and people to create a greater flow through the process. Simple and intentional actions save the day.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’re versatile. When one mode isn’t working, you move to trying things another way. Being kind to yourself allows for kindness to others. Compassion and gentleness are guiding principles.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your preferences signify identity and your values. This is why matters of taste actually matter a lot. Aesthetics count. The details will have a disproportionate impact. They will, in fact, steer the plot.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 13). This solar return brings the happy conclusion of a sweet chapter and a new one that opens on thrills. You’ll be inspired, break through creative barriers, and the brave star you suspect was always inside you will finally get a chance to shine. More highlights: a harmonious collaboration, games and shared interest produce cherished memories and the discovery of a peaceful retreat. Capricorn and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 18, 3, 33, 1 and 48.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: For his latest tour as Indiana Jones, Harrison Ford agreed to the press junkets he would typically avoid. “Certainly I reflect on life, but I don’t feel I owe it to anybody to share my reflections on myself.” Ford has natal sun, moon, Mercury and Jupiter all in the sign of the crab. The outer shell of his personality is a social veneer that’s hard to crack. Next up for Ford, “Captain America: Brave New World,” as the legendary General “Thunderbolt.”
