HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY, BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
It’s rare that two planetary oppositions would occur in the same day, but the pull across the sky from the realm of Leo produces just such a dynamic. The sun tugs on Pluto and the moon tugs on Mercury, challenging our notions of significance. What’s important is always subjective. Since there are no universal laws regarding meaning, we are challenged and privileged to decide the matter for ourselves.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your creativity seems to come from nowhere, but it’s actually a response to the environment, a solution to a problem or a reaction to a limitation. You’re creative because you need to be.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You can communicate to some dear ones with just a look. To do this with a stranger is thrilling. It signifies a shared moment, a similar way of thinking and possibly a kindred spirit. It may also be the start of a special relationship.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Undetected miscommunication is dangerous. The misunderstandings that cause problems are a gift. They teach you what’s going on. Otherwise, how would you know a message had been misconstrued?
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Mix up the social scene. Even though you love seeing your dear ones, it’s more exciting when new faces are involved. The fresh energy highlights different aspects of people’s personalities. Tonight features auspicious timing.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ve changed, and it’s absolutely what you’re supposed to do. You’ll now offer something different from what you were willing to do and give in the past because you’re an ever-evolving person.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You already have all you need to get to the next step. As for the ones after that, don’t worry about it. You can cross those bridges when you come to them. You’re not alone. Remember that.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There will be a strong urge to buy something extra to help you. It’s not only unnecessary but it may even be detrimental, as it will distract from the real productivity enhancers — time, focus and effort.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your joy spreads. Your smile sets people at ease. Your comfort makes everyone feel better. And though you don’t need reasons or permission to do what makes you happy, if you find yourself forgetting that, read back.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Hopefully, those in a leadership position will know more than the underlings about what’s going on in a situation, but it’s not always the case. Make no assumptions. Use your own judgment.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Knowing a person well allows for efficient conversations. You can skip the formalities and get to the point. When you don’t know someone well, the manners and protocol are essential to building trust and rapport.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There’s an ever-young openness to you. In many ways, you will be continually renewed. You’ll look for inspiration and find so much of it that you’ll become an inspiration to others.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Regret may linger, but there’s no rewinding, only forward with newfound knowledge for future decisions. Every path is a unique adventure; none is superior. Embrace the lessons learned and apply them to different choices.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 23). Your imaginative powers are formidable, and your sense of purpose is even more so. It is your nature to take heart and have faith. Each time you do, you’ll be met with magic and abundance. More highlights: Relationships will sparkle delightful improvisations akin to rainy-day indoor picnics and pillow forts. Making the best of things makes memories. Gemini and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 33, 13, 23 and 19.
