Horoscopes by Holiday by Holiday Mathis

Are you ready for radical romance? Outrageous expressions of emotion? Love planet Venus and the planet of surprises, Uranus, are conjunct in spiritual Pisces. It's a time to communicate your heart with great imagination. Emotional explosions happen, too. By being gloriously unrealistic, we create a new reality.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Forgiveness is more than an act of grace. It's an element of change. Without it, you can't move forward. It may look like you're in a new place, but it plays out the same as before.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You're handling some testy personalities — difficult people, the types who make you feel like pretending you're someone else. Keep smiling, even when you're out of ideas.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Youth is sweet. You're hanging around in that sweetness, regardless of your age, because your curious attitude keeps you fresh. Tonight is interesting because of the questions you ask.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The morning is sluggish, even with coffee. Perhaps you're nervous about an upcoming presentation, or about meeting a deadline. Work, and your inspiration will kick in this afternoon.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Faith comes to different people in different ways. Your tolerance of this process in its many forms allows you to be accepting instead of judgmental, especially in regards to yourself.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 6). Your presence is inspiring to others. A change in your work environment allows you more freedom in March. May features demolition and rebuilding. You'll be flexing your creative muscles to great response in July. Singles marry in August. Couples recommit then, too. Love signs are Virgo and Gemini. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 39, 22, 19 and 45.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The best way to show your might is by remaining flexible. A willingness to cooperate and reach a workable compromise serves you well. Gentle persistence wins the day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Just because the numbers add up doesn't mean the figures are right. It's not often that your intuition leads you astray. Believe what your higher sense is telling you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There's a fine line between doing well unto others and stretching yourself too thin. Beware of taking on too many responsibilities. Saying no is sometimes the most loving thing you can do.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov.

22-Dec. 21). When the going gets rough and people start to butt heads, remember that the only power any of us really has is the power to relinquish control. You can walk away at any time. This gives you tremendous leverage.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Romance can spring up in the most unusual places — at the laundromat, or the DMV. Maybe even right under your nose, if you'd only open your eyes and see without prejudice. Let go of preconceived notions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You'll receive an enthusiastic response to the project you've been working on. Don't let that stop you from doing what you need to do to improve your work. A Virgo perfectionist can help you!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your main opponent is boredom. Though work may be tedious, finding ways to amuse yourself shouldn't be too difficult. Just don't let the boss catch you surfing the Internet or text messaging your friends on company time.

PERSONALITY OF A PLANET: JUPITER: Three hundred years ago an astronomer observed an impressive red spot on the planet Jupiter. It's now believed to be a colossal hurricane. The weird part is, it's still raging now. Some storms never blow over, which seems fitting for the planet astrologers associate with endless magnificence. Jupiter also has the strongest magnetic field in our solar system, which ties into its metaphoric role as the planet to tap into for attracting abundance. Jupiter was named for the father of the gods, and indeed his largess makes the other planets look like mere children. He's 11 times as large as Earth in diameter. In astrology, he's a Big Daddy — a rich benefactor who bestows infinite prosperity on those he favors. But beware. Not all affluence is helpful. It's possible to have too much of a good thing. When Jupiter is in a bad mood because he's being badly aspected, which is like being taunted by another planet, his extravagance can be overwhelming and immoral — a cause for gluttony. The current station of Jupiter in his home of Sagittarius bodes well for prosperity, generosity and optimism.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Working at the age of 10, redheaded actor Seth Green recognized his life path early, and it took him from Woody Allen's "Radio Days" to television's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" to the box office bonanza "Austin Powers." His role in the cartoon phenomenon "Family Guy" cements a presence as the comedian of his generation. What more could you expect from Aquarius, the sign of the future?
