Horoscopes by Holiday by Holiday Mathis

Tomorrow brings a rush of change to the cosmic landscape. But for now, the Sagittarius moon holds us in rapt anticipation of all the adventure and fun that will occur. Develop a vision of how you want life to go in the next three days. Replay it in your mind. Your dream will affect the outcome of events you don't even have a direct influence over.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It's easier to be generous with stuff than it is to be generous of spirit. That's why you value a certain person's heart and friendship so highly, and why you strive to return equally benevolent and selfless acts.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Things weigh you down and make you feel emotionally burdened. Use what you have, and have only what you can use. If you buy something, give something else away.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A family member needs assistance. This person may ask you for money, but that's not the ideal thing to give. Helping someone learn how to make money will be far better than lending it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your thoughts are telegraphed to all you meet and will especially radiate through your eyes. So take hold of your mind's messaging system, and look on those around you with kindness and compassion.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You'll witness full-grown adults resorting to the antics that children fall to when they are trying to convince someone to buy them a toy. This stunning immaturity will give you a chance to hone your managing skills.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If it feels as though you are doing all the work for little reward, well, you may just have a point there. Keep in mind that the sweetest rewards in life are often the ones that take the longest to be delivered.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A new slang term finds its way into your vocabulary. This will impress your friends. You have a reputation of being one step ahead of the competition, and this is just another reason why.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People are always jealous of the gifted and beautiful. Knowing that doesn't eliminate your hurt feelings, but it should ease the sting. Just keep being who you are, and don't worry what others think.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). A friend of a friend keeps reaching out to you. You are wary of the motives that may be involved here, though it is likely that this person wants nothing more than the fun of your attention.

CAPRICORN (Dec.

22-Jan. 19). You consistently strive to be the very best at everything you do. You might not always prevail, but no one can say anything about your lack of will. Today, your go-getting pays off.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your usually steady countenance is being rattled by a fear of the unknown. No, change isn't your favorite thing. Just dress your best, and count on your wits and experience to guide you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There is no way to tell whether you are winning or losing except to decide which one it is and call it that. Anyway, you are the only one qualified enough to judge your life's success.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 6). You speak modestly, but you have big plans this year, and your follow-through will be nearly impeccable. By April, a major project is already under way. Friendships spice up June and July. You'll see a different part of the world in August. Family joins your efforts, and the lifestyles of all improve in November. Leo and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 30, 13, 22 and 24.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "Do solar eclipses serve any astrological purpose other than inspiring awe in people?"

Why, yes! A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes directly between Earth and the sun, blotting out all but the sun's corona (halo of light). At this time, with the sun and moon in close proximity (called "conjunction"), the moon is in its "new" phase. All new moons are powerful, but the new moon during a solar eclipse packs an extra-strong punch. It's like getting a triple booster shot of energy. So what are you supposed to do with all this firepower? Put it to use making your wishes come true! Think about whatever it is that you most desire. True love? Starting your own business? Maybe moving to someplace more exciting or more peaceful than where you are now? Whatever it is, the very best time to initiate this heartfelt endeavor is during a solar eclipse, when the universe is giving you two thumbs up. The next solar eclipse is on July 11, 2010, in the sign of Cancer, so start thinking now about what action you can take on that day.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Perhaps Eva Mendes was first noticed in the media for being "super-hot." However, she has since earned a reputation as a serious actress, adept at both comedy and drama. Having won the respect of some of the best directors in Hollywood, this Pisces star will continue to rise. With Mercury, Venus and Jupiter in Aquarius, she can't help but bring something fresh to the big screen.
