Horoscopes by Holiday by Holiday Mathis

The world is full of juicy projects and delicious bits of work just ripe for the picking. The Virgo moon gets this day off to an industrious start. The lines between work and play will be blurred, since it seems like more fun to be doing something, even if that something takes elbow grease. The Aquarian sun combines brains with brawn to get the best result.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You shoot for something that is visible only to you. You may amuse the casual passerby who has no way of knowing that the invisible target is in fact a very real and vivid resting place for your keen arrow.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There is a mystery to solve. Much will be told to you through the details of daily life. You are an expert at gathering evidence, especially in the gestures and eye contact you get from others.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). As you grow older and wiser, your relationships suit your needs with greater specificity. If you can articulate the thing that you were missing in a relationship before, you will find it now.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Once you break free from your usual route, you'll be awakened by sensory delights. Fresh sights, sounds and tastes will invigorate you. And there's nothing quite like tasting a new flavor for the first time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You'll be presented with a kind of show, perhaps in the form of a slick sales campaign. Be slow to take out your wallet, though. You don't have to be a magician to know that there's a trick to this illusion.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It's too easy to get sucked into a fantasy when what you really should be doing is tending to the realities of your situation. The most amazing transformations will happen in tiny steps.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your core advisers may not have official titles, but that doesn't make them any less powerful. You'll do what is recommended to you by the people you trust, and your faith in them will prove well placed.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have many fantastic notions about what will happen when you finally meet the person who can make things happen for you. All will be shattered by the happy reality that you are the sole creator of your life's adventure.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Interruptions will happen, but it's important to get right back on track. There's no reason you should settle for a half-finished job, especially if you're the one doing the work.

CAPRICORN (Dec.

22-Jan. 19). You'll get the chance to tell the tale of your travels. This will be especially pleasurable for you if your listener has not seen much of the world. It's fun to be the bearer of a bit of glamour and excitement.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A chance at the big time stares you down. You're not sure how seriously to take this opportunity, and there's a good reason for your trepidation. You'll do better work while laughing than you will with a furrowed brow.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You're in for a wild ride. Everything that happens this afternoon will be a direct result of your curious mind and driving need to explore and understand the workings of the world.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Feb.1). You become self-sufficient to a greater degree. You provide for loved ones and also teach them how to help themselves. The next 10 weeks ask you to think creatively, and you rise to the occasion. A career break in March is your chance to change your financial destiny. Be assertive, and take what's yours. Cancer and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 19, 33, 10, 14 and 16.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I moved to a different state, but I didn't sell my house. The way the housing market was when I moved, I would have taken a severe loss. So I decided to keep the place rented. However, being an out-of-state landlord has proved very difficult. Over the span of two years, I've had three different renters living in the place. Everyone skips out on the lease. The first family left the place a mess and, for some inexplicable reason, took the curtains. The second renter grew illegal drugs in the living room. Now, the third renters used their rent money to buy a huge flat-screen television. They are currently two months behind in the rent, and every time I call, they have a new lie about when it will be here. I can't take it anymore. I'm a Leo. What should I do? And which sign will make a good renter?"

Cancer is the sign of home and will likely take good care of the place. Virgo is best at getting the bills in on time. That said, what you really need to do is get a property manager. They typically take about 10 percent of the rent and, in return, make your life much easier.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Celebutante, author and fashion designer Lauren Conrad has so much Aquarian energy running through her natal chart that if she doesn't commit herself in a big way to a philanthropic cause, she'll be missing out on a huge opportunity for personal growth and fulfillment. With her natal sun, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter in Aquarius, her true happiness will be found in a station of selfless service.
