Horoscopes by Holiday by Holiday Mathis

Though Venus has taken leave of the party in Aquarius, the heavens still remain soaked in Aquarian energy. The sun, moon, Mercury and Neptune are all dancing through the altruistic realm of the water bearer, and people are looking out for each other. Babies born today will be inventive, forward-thinking and highly creative.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You're the one who can take initiative and get a show on the road. And you'll do it, too. You start with no support and wind up with a whole gang of people ready to help you in any way you need.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You used to think that dollars were hard to come by, but you're starting to see that it's not true for everyone. Work on changing your belief system around money. Repeat to yourself: "I always have more than enough."

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If it's not on the schedule or on your list of things to do, it's not likely to happen. So write things down — not only the mundane things but the dreamy ones, too. The magic of pen and paper will amaze you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your vehicle is in perfect working order — the chassis is solid, the chrome trim impeccable and shiny, and that last coat of wax was a coat of dreamy dazzle. Someone needs to take you out and show you off.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have a set of tools for dealing with adversity. There probably won't be any obvious conflict today, except your own resistance to work or a sense of boredom. Use your tools anyway and you'll keep them sharp.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You want people to like you, but perhaps not everyone, and perhaps not this much. Guard against unwanted attention. Know where you're going and what you're doing at all times, and stay on purpose.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Usually, when you're not sure, you decide to think the best. But don't go against your instincts for the sake of being positive. Sometimes there's a good reason for why you don't feel good about a situation. Honor your gut.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Satisfying yourself may seem like a bigger challenge than it usually is. That's because your taste is changing. What used to interest you has less appeal. You will soon connect with a new passion.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There's an assignment you have been given or a deadline you have made for yourself that looms in the distant future. Do not wait until your time is short. Get busy now. This will greatly reduce your stress.

CAPRICORN (Dec.

22-Jan. 19). You like some of the changes around you, but there have also been developments that aren't working for you at all. Instead of pining away for the past, get busy finding solutions that will brighten your future.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You'll be a natural crowd pleaser. What you do is so enjoyable to everyone around you that you'll please people you don't even like. And hopefully that fact won't ruin your wonderful mood.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are so lucky to have the gift of fanciful thinking. You'll be in another one of your daydreaming moods, and yet you'll also get just the right amount of reality to keep you productive.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 12). Follow your whims this year, as they will lead you to magical meetings and great insights. Also, in March, one such tangent will be lucrative. April brings the end of a struggle and the beginning of an adventure. May is the chance to reconnect with old ties and heal family bonds. Invest in yourself in September. Sagittarius and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 12, 14, 39, 1 and 17.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: Your attention to detail makes you a thoughtful and romantic sweetheart. TAURUS: Though you like learning from different types of people, you feel the best around someone who is very much like you. GEMINI: Your courteous, professional demeanor makes you attractive to one who appreciates class. CANCER: You'll be smart about who you let into your world, and you'll sense when the timing is not right, too. LEO: You do things without being asked, and this means a lot to a loved one. VIRGO: Be open to meeting new people and a friend will make a fascinating introduction for you. LIBRA: You like to keep things fresh. You'll take initiative to show someone you care, especially if the relationship is well established. SCORPIO: You'll like how you feel about yourself when you're around a Capricorn. SAGITTARIUS: You'll work hard to look and feel your very best. CAPRICORN: Romance is catching. A friend in love will influence you. AQUARIUS: You are likely to underestimate your own attractiveness. Someone is very "into" you. PISCES: You'll get what you want easily because you don't demand it. People feel generous and unpressured around you.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Aquarius and Pisces share a common ideology. They both sense that life has more dimensions than we can humanly understand. They both think about their existence and what it means. And they both prefer to remain open to magical possibilities. One such possibility is that these two could fall very deeply in love this weekend as they share their thoughts about the nature of the universe.
