Horoscopes by Holiday by Holiday Mathis

The day after the full moon sometimes feels like an after-party. But this time around, it feels more like it's time to call the cleanup crew or, more likely, be the cleanup crew. Though there will be a few messes to sort out today, the energetic Aries moon provides the incentive and fuel to make speedy work of it. Dive in and get it done.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Avoid the tendency to be too intensely self-managed. Sweeping declarations about how you'll spend your time will be more effective than making tiny, fussy decisions. Stay focused on the big picture, and use broad strokes.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your people long to hear from you. This makes you feel both happy to be loved and stressed about possibly not having enough time to check in with everyone. Luckily, it won't take long to touch base.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When you take a risk, you may lose your footing momentarily. You may even fall flat. But if you don't take the risk, you'll lose your sense of adventure, which is the cornerstone of your happiness.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are naturally beautiful. All you have to do now is believe it. Instead of hiding the scars, marks, lines and spots, perhaps you could try highlighting them — if not physically, then metaphorically.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are an excellent salesperson when you apply all you know about influencing people. Having the confidence to meet someone's energy level will be an important part of the way your business goes down today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). At some point today, you'll want to ask: Why are you telling me? If you ask out loud, you won't get a good answer. But if you ask internally and then observe your subject carefully, you'll learn all you want to know.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Set your sights high. Goals that are too easily attained won't shape your character or give you the confidence you need to become spiritually, emotionally or financially bigger than you are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are like a computer today — so much depends on your preference settings. Revisit this part of your internal software. Think about how you would like information to come to you. Set an intention on the subject.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are a bit of a tightrope walker now. You'll tiptoe a tenuous line that is upheld on either side by two important support systems in your life. Both sides of your rope must be securely fastened for this act to work.

CAPRICORN (Dec.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You'll be well aware of the give and take in a relationship, especially the finer terms that usually go unnoticed. An imbalance is, for now, not worth mentioning. Take notes, though.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When you need attention, you seek it from sources other than the ones to which you give your attention. You honor the way that each of your relationships is different and how each one serves a unique purpose.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 24). You're a dynamo. A single task keeps your attention through the next six weeks, and you won't rest until you have accomplished it. Someone special adds to your life in so many different ways, it's like five wonderful people are rolled into one. Bonus money shows in November. Another big deal comes through in July. Aries and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 1, 23, 48 and 18.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: You make people feel good about themselves, and they keep coming back for more. TAURUS: You'll make the first approach and will be glad you did. GEMINI: Emphasize the ways in which you are different from the rest. CANCER: You have ideas about how things will develop that are not what a loved one currently has in mind. But when you share your views, you'll find common ground. LEO: You will be given your way, but don't take it if it is given reluctantly. VIRGO: You want something that couldn't be in the past. But things are different now, and it's time to try again. LIBRA: There is someone who makes you feel beautiful or handsome, and you love being around this person for that very reason. SCORPIO: Your commitment to a person extends to his or her family. Your life is richer with this many people on your side. SAGITTARIUS: Someone wants to celebrate you, and you should let this person do it. CAPRICORN: You may be nervous and unsure about how to interact, but this won't stop you from making a fantastic impression. AQUARIUS: Your great compassion makes you all the more attractive. PISCES: You'll be haunted by the memory of a past love.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Libra and Aries will enjoy getting out on the town together and going where they're sure to be seen. The "in crowd" and the exciting life have a particular draw for these signs, each for different reasons. Intellectual Libra likes to be on the cutting edge of things in order to stay mentally sharp. To Aries, staying active and up with the times means you'll get the best opportunities society has to offer.
