HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY, BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
You experience life with more than just your five senses. Context clues us. Memory informs us. Beliefs around status, prejudice and preference provide additional data to crunch, as do a million other subtleties that shape how we perceive the landscape we move through. There’s also something else. Something mysterious. This will come into play today.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Social rules of conduct will apply. If you think it’s too late to call someone, it probably is. Bad behavior breeds more of the same. Habits, both good and bad, have a way of rubbing off.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Empathy is crucial for understanding and connecting with others on a deeper level. Bonds are being formed today because you are empathetic and you can relate to the feelings flowing through an interaction.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Expressing gratitude will deepen your connections and strengthen your relationships. It’s a powerful way to show appreciation and foster a positive, supportive environment for everyone involved.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Making a mistake once is only natural and good — how else are you supposed to figure out what to do? Stay aware and vigilant though, because it would be unfortunate to make the same mistake twice.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Healthy boundaries are essential to positive relationships. Unfortunately, “healthy” and “positive” are extremely relative and can’t be easily defined, but you’ll figure it out and mold it to your own peculiarities to excellent effect.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your vigilance is often a boon, but not today. This is no time to be strict on yourself. It’s probably the foolish and “time wasting” pursuits that will lead you to interesting, loving and lucrative happenings.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your tasks are like the balls of a juggler. You catch one ball and release it, catch another and release it. Your attention to each step adds up to an optical illusion in which you are handling everything at once.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Some people need to be number one because they believe they were born to the spot. Others need to be number one because they worked for it. Stay attuned. Exercise discernment.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It seems logical that if you treat everyone the same, there will be no competition, in-fighting, etc., and everyone will be happy. The trouble is that each individual needs something different. The work begins, and you’re up to it.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Take it or miss out. Don’t stand at the subway platform of life watching doors open and close. The difference between one reality and another is one step. Get inside and let the train speed you on to the next.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s the big-picture thinking that matters now. You don’t yet have all the information you need to make a plan, but talking to different people will start you on the path to a viable strategy for turning your idea into reality.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You ride the wave that happens when creativity and inspired action come together. Surfing in the flow of life, you’ll make smart moves without thinking. If you find yourself having to persuade, something is off. Keep moving.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 25). This year puts your life on sails. The only one to beat is your own last record, which will feel pretty terrific until you realize the contender you are. You’re up to it though, and the winds of change will be on your side. More highlights: An escape. Romance, laughter and dancing! You’ll make a move you’ve been wanting to make for a very long time. Your courage will open doors. Aries and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 21, 16, 30 and 10.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: It’s rumored that “Austin Powers 4″ is in the works, not the only movie in which Mike Myers will play more than one character. Myers embodies the Gemini talent for impersonating one’s own evil twin. Myers’ name is synonymous with box office success having helmed such mega-hits as “Wayne’s World” and “Shrek.” The quick-witted, intellectual Gemini was born under an intuitive Cancer moon and has Mars in entertaining Leo.
