Horoscopes by Holiday by Holiday Mathis

Sometimes it seems as though life is not inherently fair by human standards, but during the Libra moon, things do have a way of pleasantly balancing out. Tables will turn, ironies will play out, the meek will get their inheritance, and the powerful will bend in humble deference. A bit of poetic justice could have you smiling through the entire day.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Children get so engrossed in whatever it is they're doing that they completely forget about everything else around them. Most of us lose this ability as we get older, but not you. Wherever you are, you are there, entirely.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). When a friend tells you a secret, you'll keep it forever. Seriously, forever. It's like light to a black hole — once it goes in it never comes out again. Your friends recognize this, which is why you know so much about them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You're a rebel in the coolest way. Go out and buy a belt buckle that says 'Rock Star' in all caps. Then saunter around like a cowboy looking for trouble. Actually, you don't need to. It's all in your attitude.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You'll receive a message from a friend. It's nothing urgent, though your timely reply will bring some unexpected good fortune. Continue to believe that there are no accidents in life, and things will shape up in an interesting way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). They say you can't please everyone all the time, but then again, "they" never met you when you're on your game. Today, without really trying, you seem to make most everyone happy.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You're blessed with so many material possessions that you don't have time to employ them all. You're trying to, though. You will finally figure out how to use a certain piece of equipment and with highly successful results.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You're looking for someone who can help you, but the only problem is, you're not really sure what needs doing just yet. The time you spend thinking, planning and brainstorming will be well spent.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You'll be up to a bit of mischief. Whatever the rules are, you'll investigate their flexibility. You'll enjoy testing the accepted codes of behavior to see how far they will stretch to accommodate your intentions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Most people can't wait to get home from work. But you will find yourself staying late without realizing it. You'll just get swept away in the current of accomplishment. Float on.

CAPRICORN (Dec.

22-Jan. 19). From reality television to video blogs, you've had about enough of this era of over-sharing. You long for the days of discretion and decorum. Well, bring 'em back. Your classy, contained style will influence those around you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Greek pillars are not perfectly straight. They swell at the bottom and taper at the top, so as to give a sense of the organic curve of nature. Your strength is like this: powerful and sturdy, but with a soft, gentle grace.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Even if you're not normally a runner, you'll benefit from this type of movement now. The lilting clip of a steady jog will work out your angst. You'll be light on your feet and in your spirit.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 13). You've always been the favorite friend who makes everyone laugh and have a good time. However, this year you are even more clever and quick-witted. You'll meet your match in December. A professional alliance helps you make more money in 2010. You'll do what's right and help your family in August. Cancer and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 1, 4, 33 and 47.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: Note that whatever style a person uses when relating to you he or she will likely also use when relating to others. TAURUS: Pursue your interests, even when the one you like doesn't share them. GEMINI: You'll be magnificently attractive when you highlight your so-called "flaw." CANCER: You deserve to be around people who "get" you. Seek them. LEO: A relationship will feel like young love, no matter what your age is. VIRGO: Don't shy away from a potential partner just because this person has had a bad marriage or a hard time with relationships. You'll look terrific by comparison. LIBRA: Give a massage or get one — or both. The exchange will be healing. SCORPIO: It's time to talk money, and you'll have just the right words. SAGITTARIUS: You'll benefit from making someone dear to you more of a priority in your life. CAPRICORN: You'll want to spend time with the person who makes you laugh. All others are pale contenders. AQUARIUS: Be who you want to be, not who someone else wants you to be. PISCES: The one who keeps asking for your opinion and insight has a crush on you.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Scorpio and Libra are zodiac neighbors who have little in common, and that's what makes them a great pair! When Scorpio is in the mood to be intense, Libra lightens the atmosphere. When they go to a party together, Scorpio brings passion and intrigue, and Libra brings diplomacy. Scorpio fosters a soulful connection, and Libra nurtures a healthy friendship. Their strengths are perfectly complementary!
