Horoscopes by Holiday by Holiday Mathis

The Sagittarius sun and the Leo moon are complementary fire sign influences, intent on pushing us to new heights of action and accomplishment. This doesn't have to be about work, though. Fun tasks, such as making one another laugh, seem just as important (if not more important) than any other bit of business on the agenda.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Remember when you first fell for a certain love? There was something that lured you in, but you didn't know what it was or why you felt the way you did. Well, you're doing the same thing to someone else now.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have a strong sense of direction and purpose. That is to say, you know where you want to go and why. Even so, you'll enter a territory that can't be logically mapped out. None of the usual rules will apply.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You want to make a difference, and you know that you can. The confidence will propel you forward. It's a good feeling, knowing that the world is a better place because of what you put into it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It would be unreasonable to chase a person and expect that person not to run away. It's animal instinct you're dealing with, and humans can be basic in that regard. So stop chasing and start luring.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You'll learn a tool that you can put to use right away. You'll up your game, and that's fun, even if you're technically doing something that happens to be related to work.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Brainy conversations will be enjoyable, helping you either to open your mind or sharpen your arguments — or both. But you should be aware that the way to a person's heart is not through his or her brain.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are crazy about your love, and you want this person all to yourself. This might be the kind of fact you keep to yourself, though. You wouldn't want anyone to feel that you are trying to control him or her.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Recognizing how quickly you tire of a person who doesn't treat you the way you like to be treated, you'll make an effort to treat others in the manner they prefer. This requires some research.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have many options, which can be quite distracting. Therefore, you need to put stronger boundaries in place to keep you focused on your chosen track.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You'll try something new. You may be shocked at how good you are at this and amazed by how easy it is for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It will be effortless for you to communicate well. Situations you would have avoided before are now easily handled. It's like someone wrote you a script and all you have to do is repeat the lines.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will shine in an intellectual setting. And when it's time to show your talent, you'll get applause that others will envy. This is, overall, a very productive and exciting day.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 26). You'll love the meaningful connections you make with others this year. January brings fulfilling work. There's an important realization in February that causes you to change your course. You'll purchase a new car or some other big-ticket item in June. August brings uplifting new people into your realm. Leo and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 32, 35, 11 and 17.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: You will accurately interpret another person's behavior without having to ask where he or she is coming from. TAURUS: Your sign rules the throat, and you have a truly magical power in your voice. Use it! GEMINI: Do you really want the other person to pursue you? If you're sure, you'll make it happen with your mind. CANCER: You can exist in a state of happiness without needing worldly trappings to do so. LEO: You'll attune yourself to what others want and get what you want in return. VIRGO: You can be powerful and tenderhearted all at once — an astounding talent. LIBRA: Instead of telling your loved ones how you want them to behave, you'll show them. SCORPIO: You'll stop arguing and start understanding and being understood by the other person. SAGITTARIUS: Move into a new relationship phase so you don't have to constantly talk things over — which, of course, is the opposite of fun! CAPRICORN: Do what it takes to make yourself feel loved and treasured as you should be. AQUARIUS: You take care of yourself in a way that inspires others to take care of you. PISCES: You'll warm the heart of another person just by being you.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Sagittarius and Virgo have one main issue: Sagittarius thinks the fun is somewhere "out there," and Virgo believes the main attraction is really at home. Wherever they are together, it will often be the case that one wants to go when the other wants to stay. If they work out a system of communicating, each will say that the other enriches their life more than any other person in the world.
