Horoscopes by Holiday by Holiday Mathis

Mars and Uranus call for a restructuring of the current system as they square off to challenge each other. These volatile planets are like gangsters who get along fine, just fine, until their code has been breached. Even so, sometimes restructuring can happen with a handshake. Stay respectful, avoid greed and be ready to help anyone in need.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may not know what it takes to win a game or get into a certain club or relationship. But you are spry, witty and able to learn. And so you have what it takes to make headway today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You'll enter a room filled with people you don't know. Though you feel out of your element, you will make a social effort, and in doing so, you will broaden your image of yourself. You'll be well accepted, too.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may be convinced that you are a certain way, but the truth is that you don't know for certain. You've only seen yourself in a limited array of settings and circumstances. You are capable of more than you think.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are graceful under pressure and when there is nothing pressuring you. But when it comes to pressuring someone else, you'd rather not. Practice being charming as you ask for what you want.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You like to be honest in your dealings, and yet there is nothing to gain from being too blunt today. It's dangerous to do so. Think about other people's feelings and say things in as delicate a way as possible.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You say the right thing at the right time. But what is perhaps even better is that you resist every temptation to say the wrong thing or to say too much. Your use of silence is genius.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You feel complete inside. Because of this you don't need extra attention. This is so attractive, and you'll be invited places because of the aura of security you exude.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You'll be surprised at how some people act. Before you interpret the behavior, consider that there are those who've developed a habit of pushing others away when what they really want is for them to come closer.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Ask yourself what you are trying to accomplish before you enter a business meeting, date or any kind of social situation. If "nothing" is the answer, then set some goals for your interactions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You admire someone's nerve, and yet you also know that your situation will not require you to be so forthright. A kind word and a smooth gesture will take you much farther.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Though you've done a good job in the past, do not be content to coast along on your merits. You may be paid to do so, but that shouldn't limit your work. Strive to do more, handle more and be more.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Some become frozen in the face of the unfamiliar. You are a courageous person who can overcome the fear of learning anew how to operate in the ever-changing world. Teach others to do the same.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 3). You will bring greater love and acceptance into your dealings. This month you'll connect with your loved ones and say what you couldn't say before. January brings financial restructuring. By February, you feel free and creative in regards to money. New work comes in March. A long-term goal is reached in August. Aquarius and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 20, 1, 44 and 18.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: Someone has been slow to catch on but this weekend will start to have feelings for you. TAURUS: Keep your conversation trained on the one in the room. Talking of others is at best impolite; at worst, threatening. GEMINI: You can give yourself everything you deserve. Make this your mantra and your love life improves. CANCER: You are comfortable doing many things at once and will need to in order to fit romance into your life. LEO: The way you feel about yourself will be the same way you are accepted by others. VIRGO: Accept your love just the way he or she is. LIBRA: You really listen to someone. Your undivided attention is a rare gift. SCORPIO: Refrain from offering unsolicited advice. Instead, flirt and be fun. SAGITTARIUS: You can work a room like no other and will do so. CAPRICORN: You are always striving for more, but those expectations are best kept to yourself now. AQUARIUS: You give your love the permission to be real. PISCES: You'll make beautiful, seductive eye contact — an unforgettable moment.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: The fire and earth combination of Sagittarius and Taurus can be as destructive as it can be productive. Staying absolutely positive, supportive and thoughtful is the key. Taurus must be careful not to criticize Sagittarius for being impulsive and passionate — these qualities are lucky for Sagittarius. And Sagittarius must be careful to let Taurus move at the pace that feels comfortable to Taurus.
