Horoscopes by Holiday by Holiday Mathis

Venus, with her new Aries attitude, opposes Big Daddy Jupiter in the partnership realm of Libra, causing tension, if not eventful feuding in some close relationships. This doesn't have to be a negative occurrence, though. Disagreement could add excitement and interest to relationships that were in danger of becoming a bore.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You won't do anyone a favor by running away from your dream. The greater good will be served as you go for the thing you want. Your desires are woven into the best intentions of the universe.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A pragmatic line of questioning will help you get, and stay, organized. Is your time adding up? Do your daily tasks help you fulfill your weekly priorities? Have you set some realistic goals?

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You feel an easy kinship with most of the people you meet and will have an affinity for those who are as creative and whimsical as you are. The conversations you'll have today will sizzle, crackle and pop.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are doing what you haven't done before. Your interactions might be stressful, but it's a good kind of stress. You're still learning, but very soon you'll be great at this.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You being you usually includes some kind of daring adventure. To risk comes so naturally to you that you are not even aware you are doing it. Those around you are completely amazed by your bravery.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Sometimes you wonder whether people are capable of making a decision without you. Friends will consult you about the minutiae of their lives and ask you to weigh in. You might be flattered by their deference to your judgment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You'll be a trendsetter. People will follow you because you are on the cutting edge. Little do they know, the next cool thing may very well be as low-key and old-fashioned as knitting or sending postcards.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You will be a magnet for exciting and intriguing circumstances. Those with something unusual to offer will be inexplicably drawn to you. You'll have an encounter with a person of mystery.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Strengthen the friendship between you and you. Find quiet time to relate to yourself. When you enjoy your solitude, you are enjoying one of life's simplest, purest pleasures.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Before you make the purchase or plan the activity, get expert advice.

You don't have to follow it. But at least you'll know the full range of what's available to you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It will be easy to find people to help you. Right now, you can afford to be a bit choosy. Accept only highly qualified assistance and the efforts of those who put their heart into their service.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You'll be in the middle of a task and realize you're nervous. Maybe your hands are even shaking! You would not have predicted that you would have this reaction. But it's proof that you're stretching yourself.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 11). You're older, but the best part of your life is yet to come. You move quickly toward a professional goal. You'll make connections in April and make them work for you in May. A June trip is romantic. Lifestyle upgrades in August pave the way for personal developments in September. November brings a windfall. Sagittarius and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 5, 22, 10 and 41.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I have been officially diagnosed with OCD, that is to say "obsessive Cullen disorder." I'm sure you've heard about people like me who can't get enough of the Cullens! I was wondering what sign Edward Cullen is, and would we be compatible? I'm a Scorpio."

I assume you're referring to the fictional family of vampires in Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight" series, and I believe Edward's birthday is June 20, 1901, which would make him a Gemini. Gemini is the sign of communication. And although Bella might not agree that Edward is a good communicator (when he thinks he's saying too much, she thinks he's not saying enough), he does make his feelings known through his loyal and even noble actions. His moon is in dramatic Leo, the sign of a generous heart. And his Mercury and Venus in Cancer makes him extremely compatible with your Scorpio sun sign. Scorpios like you are ruled by Pluto, the dwarf planet named for the ancient god of the netherworld. Scorpio individuals are fascinated by the mysterious and not easily scared off by the prospect of danger, making you a wonderful candidate to befriend a vampire.
