Horoscopes by Holiday by Holiday Mathis

Change is coming. These are the last days of the Scorpio solar transit of 2010. Both Jupiter and Venus will switch course tomorrow, and the tension continues to mount until the full moon on Sunday. Knowing that the scenery is going to be different, take a moment to try to anticipate and prepare for the fresh experiences on the horizon.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Start thinking about why you deserve to be successful, well respected and well paid. When you have the answers to these questions on the tip of your tongue, things start to align to move you up in the professional world.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You'll be in the mood to propose something new. Before you do, make sure the ones who will hear this proposal are in an open and generous mood.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You'll add value to your offerings and raise your worth in the eyes of those who pay you. Keep working along these lines, and you will also achieve a big win for your team.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You want certain results from your loved ones, but at the same time, you realize you can't control them. Keep those high hopes alive, and temper them with a few realistic expectations.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have time before you will need to make a big decision. The others on your team will suggest alternatives you hadn't thought of. Be open to learning, but don't make promises.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). For long, lovely stretches of time, your mind will be relaxed and unconcerned about what has already happened or might happen. This is the happiness and peace you deserve to have always.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You can't expect that every time you are tested you'll come off with flying colors. And when you don't, the test is still worthwhile. It teaches you what to learn, strengthen or grow.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You'll display your courage through socializing. You'll get into a mix that is strange to you, let down your guard and let yourself be affected by the new people and experiences to be had around you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It's more motivating to think about what you'll do right in the future than to focus on paying penance for what you did wrong in the past. Stay positive, and you will more than make up for any mistakes you made along the way.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Relationships take work. Home in on one particular partnership.

A tune-up is in order. Think about what you could do to increase the respect in the relationship and how you might make working together easier.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your open mind is a rare and beautiful gift. Of course you have your own opinions, but you don't let them color everything you hear. You will drop your defenses and listen with compassion.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You feel a protective instinct toward your loved ones, and you need to apply the same ferocity to your own interests. If you don't look after you, you won't be able to look after them.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 17). You see the best in others, and they will do the same for you this year, helping you grow your talents to their full potential. In December, you will reconcile your differences with someone or get closure on an issue. There's a lifestyle upgrade in January. March brings work that excites you and new friends, too. Cancer and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 10, 22, 24 and 1.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I'm wondering about a man born on Jan. 14, 1950, and would like to know more about who he is. Is he the type of person who will be loyal in relationships, or is there a chance that he could have more than one household going at the same time? I don't want to be paranoid, but I've lived with this man for years, and sometimes I get the feeling that his business trips aren't what he says they are. He is gone about half of the time. Should I follow him? I'm a Scorpio."

Your guy is a Capricorn born under a wandering, adventurous Sagittarius moon. Together these influences suggest that he likes a traditional domestic situation, but that he also likes travel, is excited by new places and is driven to see and experience as much of the world as he can in one lifetime. I cannot look at his stars and tell you whether he has another household. What I can tell you is that intuitive Scorpio women often know that something is off before they want to know or deal with that information. If you have a weird feeling, you should definitely get to the bottom of it.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Comedian and producer Lorne Michaels created the show that spawned the careers of dozens of comedians and movie stars, such as Eddie Murphy, Will Ferrell, Gilda Radner, Tina Fey and too many more to mention. The long-running "Saturday Night Live" is not his only hit, though. A long list of television productions put this intuitive Scorpio in the Television Academy Hall of Fame.
