FOR RELEASE: SUNDAY, MAY 27, 2012 When you look into the night sky at an object that is 100 light years away, you are essentially looking back in time because what you are seeing is how the object appeared 100 years ago. This same weird sense of time affects your life story. Mercury'…Read more. FOR RELEASE: SATURDAY, MAY 26, 2012 Generosity of spirit can be an intangible quality that people recognize on deeper levels, even if they would be hard-pressed to describe it in concrete terms. The Leo moon changes that, making something as invisible as love seem clear and obvious. …Read more. FOR RELEASE: FRIDAY, MAY 25, 2012 Mercury got a boost of zesty Gemini energy yesterday, which King Neptune, frankly, finds irritating.

Horoscopes by Holiday for April 3

The Sagittarius moon burns bright with a worldly sense of wonder and adventure. The sun is also in a fire sign, matching our energy levels to our emotional appetites. This promises to be an eventful weekend, a time when we can take advantage of the closeness and unity we created with our friends and loved ones earlier in the week.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You'll be handling financial matters. Go by the book, and follow the correct policies when handling your own or other people's funds. This will earn you the trust and business of power-players.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are a connoisseur and will be a trusted resource for friends who will defer to your excellent taste. You will get the opportunity to apply your knowledge about collecting art objects, jewelry and other bits of beauty.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your social genius plays into today's events. So much of this is subtle and intuitive. You will catch on to the ghostliest wisp of feeling in others and swiftly identify and respond in such a way as to make everyone relax.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). To give away something you don't want is too easy. Give away something that has a personal cost to you. You only expand the reaches of your heart when you "give until it hurts." You're in just the generous mood to do this now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Most people are asking, "What's in it for me?" But you're asking, "What's in it for the other person?" That's why your contributions will be extremely popular and your presence will be in demand.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You'll be lucky when you do things outside that you would normally do indoors — for instance, enjoy a picnic lunch or take your workout to the streets. The unpredictable elements of wind and weather bring out the best in you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Maybe things aren't happening fast enough for you. Calm down. Be patient and faithful. Believe in what you can't see. All reality starts as unreality. The next moment and everything in it will emerge from nothingness.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The place you once regarded as a sanctuary or place of refuge will produce different feelings in you now. Things need to be worked out. Nip it in the bud. Deal with things head-on, and resolve the issues.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Developing excellent relationships has to do with keeping your word. This is much easier when you don't promise to do too much. Stay reasonable. Set things up so that you are sure to deliver more than expected.

CAPRICORN (Dec.

22-Jan. 19). You'll progress because you have people pushing you — maybe they will even be holding you up on their shoulders, carrying you along. Acknowledge your support team.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are fascinated by the creative process. You'll be drawn to a different kind of expression than others can understand. You'll be able to really get inside of the mind of an artist, entertainer or athlete.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It is better to give than to receive — not only because it's moral, character-building and noble. It just feels better. You'll understand your own assets when you share them. Your confidence will be raised with every contribution.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 3). You earn the respect of your peers this month and may wind up leading a group or selling or giving something of value that could only come from you. An agreement will be sealed in March. Your political mind will help achieve a goal in May. June tightens family bonds and brings fun for you and a loved one. Capricorn and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 6, 32, 20 and 14.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "How can I make the best use of the fourth quarter moon phase?"

The fourth quarter occurs halfway between a full moon and a new moon. If the new moon is when we set new intentions for ourselves, and the full moon is the culmination of an intention, then the fourth quarter moon is like last call at the neighborhood pub. It signals you to finish off that pint, ask the pretty woman for her phone number and pay your tab. It's time to wrap up your work for the month. The universe is not a big fan of leaving loose ends untied. To keep things running smoothly in your life, it's important to complete the circle: set your goal, take the necessary action to get 'er done, receive the fruits of your labors, and then clear your plate to get ready for the next course. It's really very simple once you realize that the universe wants you to rest before taking on a new project. Despite the fast pace of our technologically advanced world of chatting, texting and tweeting, human brains are not built to multitask. There, I said it. Finish what you start.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: It's not difficult to figure out that Alec Baldwin is an Aries — his feisty charm gives him away, as does the way his gentlemanly wit is occasionally punctuated by a passionate outburst, usually in the name of protecting a loved one. The moon and Jupiter in Libra reveals Baldwin to be a generous partner. Venus and Mars in Aquarius indicates that he's happiest when being charitable.
