Horoscopes by Holiday by Holiday Mathis

The Sagittarius sun makes us aware of what others have and don't have. The comparison is useful in deciding what you're grateful for in your own life. One caution: Mercury is unfortunately aspected, so no talking about religion, politics or any other touchy subject at the dinner table. The only feathers you need to ruffle belong to a turkey.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You just don't want the same things you used to want. You'll be letting go of old hang-ups about money. When you no longer care about worldly trappings, they come more easily to you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your love of beauty, art and aesthetics will be pronounced. Presentation matters to you. How something is presented almost matters more to you than what the thing actually is — almost but not quite.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There's a passion stirring in your soul. This might have to do with a project at work that fully engages you. Or, perhaps it's that you love a certain person too much to be just a friend.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Remember how a certain relationship seemed to come together magically? Remember all the fireworks that went off? Maybe things have cooled down since then, but you can bring back the fire.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When other people get scared, they back off. You, however, have a different approach. You ask questions and get a dialogue started. You investigate and pinpoint the problem.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Though you're not trying to be particularly clever or profound, special insights will come to you from on high. These are worth sharing with others in a lighthearted, good-natured way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have all sorts of ideas popping into your head, and a lot of them don't make a great deal of sense to you right now. Maybe this is prescient information. Make a prediction. Later, you can test your accuracy!

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are in charge of your own emotions. Do not let anyone lead you away from feeling as good as you want to feel. You can be strong and lighthearted. Take back the power.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You don't have to be demanding to be commanding. You make your requests with a good dose of sweetness, and you get exactly what you want and need.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You'll take turns being a worker, serving your loved ones and being the royalty who gets served.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Why do the hard jobs fall to you? Because your speed and efficiency are unparalleled. In fact, in your hands, these jobs can't really be called "hard." You'll work with a smile on your face.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Economic matters will be resolved, and so will longstanding tensions between family members. Any negativity that could possibly surface will dissolve into the happy scene you create.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 25). Your attitude attracts many good times to you this year. Whatever you do, you make it fun. In December, you'll find out that a large number of people agree with you and will support you. You'll put a large sum of money in the bank in December and July. There's terrific news about family in January. Capricorn and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 14, 25, 3 and 15.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "Do you believe in aliens from other worlds? Do you think I could talk to an alien, have a friendship with one or even a love relationship? Sometimes I think I just don't get along with humankind. I feel like I don't fit in anywhere on Earth. Is it because I'm really an alien? Just curious. By the way, I'm a Libra."

I make it a policy not to rule anything out. Aliens, mermaids, fairies, trolls, hobbits, nice vampires — they all exist in some state of being. Whether that state is real or imaginary doesn't seem to make a difference in the amount of mental space they take up as I regard them. Anyway, it's a big universe, and I'm quite certain that you fit into it somewhere and are, in fact, a more essential part of it than you realize. By the way, astronomers have their eyes on a planet from your constellation of Libra right now. Planet Gliese 581 d is about as far away from the star Gliese 581 as we are from our sun, suggesting that it may be a habitable place, though you'll have to travel 20 light years to find out.
