Horoscopes by Holiday, Weekly

Venus, the planetary diva who prides herself on her powers of attraction, is not a know-it-all on the subject. As she slips into Aries this week, she seeks out new beauty secrets, fresh for the season. The strong, springy energy of Venus in Aries will invigorate our personal lives and introduce new objects of desire to challenge and excite us. Mercury and Jupiter come together in Pisces to stimulate our powers of imagination.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). More love equals more happiness. This starts with the love you put out into the world. This week, you'll be increasingly tuned in to your own behavior. You will notice when you are expressing yourself out of love and when you are coming at life from a place of ego. Just the noticing will change your life for the better.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will create unity among disparate forces. If there is anyone at all who is fighting around you, you'll have a subtle way of defusing the tension and finding common ground. This you can do even if you remain silent. There is something about your very being that brings peace and reason to the world.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You'll be casting a role of some kind. Maybe you'll be seeking the perfect person for a job or starting an important new relationship. This won't be difficult with the right person. If things don't go well, take it as a sign that you don't have the right person yet and keep looking. You deserve the ease of a natural fit.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Money isn't as important as people think it is. Chasing the dollar leads to hollow victory at best and will usually bring disappointment. Center your goals on something other than money — like helping others, providing jobs and spreading good will — and you'll attract both financial and spiritual abundance.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You'll do better at work (or at finding work) if you expand your friendship base. New contacts don't have to be people who are obviously in a position to help you out. You'll be surprised from whence your next bit of fabulous luck comes. It will take an indirect route for sure. So just befriend people you genuinely like.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have yet to achieve your goal, and your time is coming soon. Ready yourself, and speed along your process, by being happy for someone who has already arrived. As you celebrate someone else's success, you get a "helper's high" — just as potent as if you had been celebrating your own win.

LIBRA (Sept.

23-Oct. 23). If you met a very wise person, what would you ask? Have your questions ready, because answers will be revealed to you this week. There will be an opportunity to connect with a mentor or guru. You will get accurate insight as to what can and can't be done to get you closer to the life you envision for yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). As much as you would like to know in specific and measurable terms how much someone loves you, you usually have to take this person at his or her word. There will be other evidence to take into account — actions that speak louder than affectionate assertions. You may be very pleased with what you find.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You know your mind, and you won't be afraid to express it. Although you're ready to let someone know what you really think, consider your motives. Maybe you've been hurt by this person and that past pain is coloring your judgment. Get away from passionate situations long enough to gain some objectivity.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Slipping into a state of overwhelm is too easy to do when you're an overachiever. From that mindset, you actually get a lot less done. Avoid becoming overwhelmed by reducing your expectations of yourself this week. It's enough to accomplish two or three things a day. Prioritize carefully.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are impressionable this week and could be star-struck by people of stature. Don't be intimidated by appearances. It may seem that others are doing the right thing at the right time in the right way. But if you were to ask them, they would be just as mystified about their lives as you are about yours.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). No need to change direction or attain anything new. You gain the most this week when you focus on an attribute you already possess and develop it. This quality will blossom as a major part of your being. Everyone who knows you will describe you in the same way — by that attribute you are now developing.

THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: You get things done because you have definite ideas and are able to communicate them with flare. This month, don't worry too much about whether your plans are feasible. The most important thing is that you're growing and moving forward. Your home gets a makeover or you move in April. Loved ones give you reason to celebrate in May. In June, you take control of the work situation, and everyone is more productive because of your leadership. August brings a windfall.
