Horoscopes by Holiday by Holiday Mathis

This Aquarius moon is ripe with fresh ideas for the future. Ingenious solutions are hanging from a vine in the astral plane, just waiting to be picked. Relax and brainstorm. Send your inner critic on a long errand and deem every idea a possibility. Stay loose and your imagination will be fertile. You can always work out the practicalities tomorrow.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It's easy for you to get fired up. You're so responsive to the enthusiasm of dynamic people and you'll gravitate toward the ones who have the message you need. And do not let doubt enter your mind.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You take care of business quickly so that you can get out and play. You do need to let off some steam and this is the perfect evening to howl at the moon. A Scorpio or Cancer will be an excellent partner in mischief.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Contrary to what the advertisements might say, there are no guarantees in life. And really, you wouldn't want that degree of security. You need the excitement that comes from risk, and that's exactly what you get now.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Plan quality time with your family. They need you. Anyhow, you could use a little group fun and in the process you'll heal each other. With this effort you will create a very positive memory.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You'll be meeting and greeting. It's good for your business, but that's not why you make the effort. You're so curious about others that you can't help but reach out and forge a connection.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (MAY 15). You let yourself be loved this year. You'll enjoy extra attention through the next six weeks and a special relationship grows out of this cycle. Dynamic friends help you with an exciting project in July. You educate yourself in June. A new way of managing money will allow you to fund a December adventure. Aquarius and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 40, 15, 22 and 39.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It might feel like you're meandering a bit. Dive into a morning project and your energy gets focused right quick! Productivity raises your self-esteem. Keep track of all of your accomplishments.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). On many occasions you have received what you (thought you) wanted and were somehow dissatisfied. Now you know better and will decide to want something that will absolutely bring you happiness.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There will be a new reason to complete stalled projects. The other people involved have personal motivation for making this a success.

Your enthusiasm will be the key to keeping up group morale.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). An amazing turn of events is unfolding. You don't have to think very hard to come up with good reasons to be awestruck; although, you do have to be open to the wonder of simple things.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It will be validating to get together with people who know you well. Note that these may not be the people who have known you the longest. New friends could be very much on your wavelength.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your trust in the powers that be may waver, and perhaps that's a positive sign. After all, you can't expect anyone to deliver perfectly every time. The anticipation of mistakes will help you avoid them.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will make a strong impression, either good or bad. The key to turning this in a positive direction is knowing whom you are dealing with. With a little research you'll avoid offending them and maybe even make them laugh.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: The one you love is being unclear, but instead of asking more questions, use your intuition to figure it out. TAURUS: Romance isn't everything, but it sure would be nice after this week's hard work. Get in a more receptive mood. GEMINI: A relationship doesn't have to be committed for it to be deeply meaningful. CANCER: Handle a recurring relationship issue — this will be the last time you'll have to. LEO: You have no control over how people think about you — or do you? You'll try your darnedest to work whatever influence you do have. VIRGO: You enjoy a love that challenges you, which is why this weekend is so delicious. LIBRA: Go where the glitz and glamour is and you'll shine. SCORPIO: You feel like you're in a competition for someone's heart and you'll do well if you stay focused. SAGITTARIUS: You'll flash that killer smile and charm strangers with your witty banter wherever you go. CAPRICORN: You'll go to some effort to make someone's evening and you may just make their spring in the process. AQUARIUS: A sweet, intelligent person wants to swap stories with you. PISCES: There's no reason you shouldn't be confident. Psych yourself up.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Aquarius and Pisces may be zodiac neighbors, but they have their differences. When solving relationship problems, Aquarius likes to consider the psychology and take a scientific approach. Pisces revels in infinite possibility and would rather make an instinctual guess than work out the math. This weekend, these two come to the same conclusion — differences aside, they make quite a team!
