Horoscopes by Holiday by Holiday Mathis

If you have a modern problem, the fix will likely involve the use of a computer. Under the Aquarius moon, technological fixes are easily incorporated. Also, the Aquarius moon inspires unconventional modes of thinking, so nutty, impractical solutions might now seem so logical you'll wonder why you didn't come up with them before.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Chance is never chance. Chance is the spirits working out the necessary path of life in a way unseen in the material world. You'll get a sign that all is unfolding as it should.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You'll make an important sale or earn a bonus. On a side note, your eye for design is keen these days. Your homestead could use a splash of color to brighten things up. Follow your creative whimsy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Champion a cause you feel empathy toward. Aligning a few actions with something your heart deems worthy will have a positive impact in a seemingly unrelated part of your life.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your loved ones will not be so easy to read. Check in and see if there's anything they need. You'll be surprised at what they say. And luckily, you will be able to help.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There are still a few steps to complete a project. Make sure to cross the finish line before you start something new. There's nothing like the confidence and satisfaction you get from knowing you saw things through to the very end.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Exercise makes your ice cream taste better. There will be other examples in your life to illustrate how personal responsibility is the necessary antecedent to personal freedom. Without the first, you can't sustain the second.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You're not yet where you want to be, but you're headed in the right direction. Give yourself credit for your diligent work, and keep it up. A Taurus will be a fine example of stamina and follow-through.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Someone needs your help but is a little too bashful to approach you directly. Pay attention to the subtleties, and you'll know who it is and what to do. You could be a hero.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Yes, it's true: Often your call is the right one. But remember, not always. Your ability to be open to input from others will only make you more effective as a decision-maker.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A new project is just challenging enough to increase your energy level.

Do you suddenly feel like doing push-ups or cartwheels? Your strength will be impressive for all kinds of endeavors, physical and otherwise.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Excess is draining, especially if you're excessively saintly. A little frivolity will be good for your steadfast nature right now. Let that hair down, and get a little messy.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Sometimes you ask for the whipped cream on your espresso drink, and sometimes you don't. You are in possession of an admirably disciplined character. Get the whipped cream today.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 26). Through the next two months, your group needs you and you need them. It feels wonderful to belong. Finances improve in November and again in February. In December, you'll be presented with an honor. You'll be brought together with a kindred spirit in February. In March, you'll be using a rare skill. Cancer and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 50, 27, 12 and 19.

DOES HE LOVE ME? I WANNA KNOW! If a LEO man is in love with you, prepare yourself for everyone to know about it, perhaps even before you do. The king of the jungle lays claim to his "territory" and makes sure everyone else stays out of the way while he endeavors to create a truly special relationship with his ideal woman. His approach won't be subtle. It involves romance, drama and excitement. He will posture and preen himself to come across like the royal he is. He wants above all to impress his love, and a woman who is thrilled with his accomplishments and talents will win his heart. If you want a Leo man to fall in love with you, you must always remember that although he can be generous and attentive, he needs his time in the spotlight. When a woman he's interested in is responding warmly to his "show," he's on top of the world. She becomes more beautiful to him as she laughs at his jokes and listens to his stories with rapt attention. He'll enjoy himself around her. He'll fall in love with her because of the way he feels about himself when he is near her.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: In her first 100 days as secretary of state, Hillary Rodham Clinton reportedly traveled over 70,000 miles in order to listen to the comments and concerns of leaders all over the world. Clinton's natal sun, Mercury and Venus are in intuitive Scorpio, with a highly empathic Pisces moon. Her Jupiter, the planet of luck, is nestled in the sign of travel and foreign culture — Sagittarius.
