HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY

If you believe you are deserving of love, it will be apparent in the love that flows through your world. Conversely, a lack of supportive relationships points to a deeply rooted feeling of unworthiness. On the eve of the new moon in Pisces, consider what effect your beliefs have had on your life. Tomorrow's new moon begins a fresh lunar cycle and is the ideal moment to change a belief that's not working for you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Picking your way through a politically complicated situation is time-consuming and stressful, but you have to admit, you dig it. Why shouldn't you? You're really good at diplomatic relations. Your sensitivity to people and your grasp of the bigger picture make you the perfect person for the job.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Tenacity is in your blood. But why bang your head against a wall that's never going to fall down? To discern the difference between persistence and stupidity is not always easy. You will have doubts about staying on a particular task, but don't give up yet. A significant development is on the horizon.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone would intuit our desires and fulfill them without us having to articulate a thing? Unfortunately, that is not the case. But there's good news, too. The best way to get what you want is simple: Ask for it! This week you ask a bold question that gets your personal life rockin'.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You've been dealt a few wild cards, and you'll get a few more. The way things are shaking out, you wonder how much control you really have over your life. Choosing this way or that way may seem futile as fate takes the driver's seat. In fact, your choice does count — a lot. Now is a good time to practice letting go.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your fire-sign energy is turned up this week. Take a cue from your guiding star, the sun. Stay a respectful distance from the object of your affection, and this person will gravitate toward you. You may even find that you have a small crew of loving people orbiting around you all week long.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You make your own opportunities. The ones that seem to be coming from the outside world are actually the manifestation of what you've created with your innermost thoughts. You may have heard this before and doubted its validity. But the way this point will be illustrated for you this week, you will recognize its truth.

LIBRA (Sept.

23-Oct. 23). A good partner is someone who can help you prioritize and pace yourself. If you're getting out of sync, feeling rushed, sluggish or scattered, look carefully at the company you're keeping this week. Could they have anything to do with it? Attention to interpersonal dynamics will clear up a few roadblocks.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). More is not always better. In fact, usually less is better. You have no problem leaving the extraneous stuff that drags you down. When you're done with something, you simply drop it. You'll be a master at making attitude adjustments in an instant. A friend will be inspired by your ability to cut to the quick.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When you ask, "Why did I just do that?" the answer won't be readily available. Is it a genetic predisposition or something in your environment that's triggering your behavior? Brain development is wildly complex. Instead of asking why, ask, "How can I do it better next time?" You'll have more success.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You think you need to increase the self-control, crack down on discipline and get your act together. But the opposite approach may have an even better effect. Doing nothing has merit, too. So does being lazy and indulgent and goofing off. Ditch the self-improvement campaign and see how that works for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It's like someone clicked the "random" button on life. Events won't follow a logical path. Non sequiturs abound. Conversations fragment, loop the loop and then shoot off through the stratosphere. What will you do with all this weird input? As resourceful and clever as you are, by Thursday you'll be turning it into art.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You tend to fall in love with people who can do something you can't. You grow as you do this, since Pisces people are often able to take on their partners' qualities through osmosis. You'll be in a good mix of people this week, so continue to seek partners who amaze and inspire you.

THIS WEEK'S BIRTHDAYS: You will stand up and be counted this year. The more you do this, the easier it gets. The things you used to quietly put up with will be suddenly unacceptable to you. You'll be finding a new way to express yourself in April. A favorable critique or review will lead to promotion and an increase in your professional power. June brings you closer to loved ones as you share lighthearted experiences. Plan a big event for August. A special relationship brings out your creativity in September.
