Horoscopes by Holiday by Holiday Mathis

If you listen closely to the music of the spheres, you might hear them singing a version of Elvis Costello's "Peace Love and Understanding," and there's nothing "so funny 'bout" that! In the name of moving forward, the harmonic force of the full moon in Libra is in favor of working things out, whether by a signed agreement or a simple handshake.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Remember how you overcame your last big challenge? Actively review the steps you took. You will learn from yourself. And you'll also realize how amazingly resourceful you can be.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Though you may not start out with positive thinking, you will get there eventually, even if you have to psych yourself up to put yourself in an optimum mood. When you're feeling great, you'll be living great.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Stop criticizing yourself! Get on your own side. Once you're on your own team, it will all work out. If you are having a hard time with this, make a list of 10 great things about you. It will turn your whole day around.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). In spite of a slow morning and a few last-minute afternoon changes, you'll embrace what life presents to you with a good attitude and set a precedent for the rest of your family, friends and colleagues.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Whatever you think about your body, you have to live inside it. You'll be in just the kind of energetic, physical mood to enjoy the organic vehicle you're using to journey through this life.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Know yourself, but also leave room for surprises. Try new things, even if you're pretty sure you won't like them. A too-limiting belief about what kind of person you are will restrict the range of experiences you allow yourself to enjoy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You will interact with the unexpected. Surprises keep you sharp. You will be quick on your feet and even sprier with your verbal responses. This day will tire you out — in a good way — and tonight brings sweet dreams.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Reading can only take you so far. Instruction is useless unless someone follows it. You already have a solid sense about how to do what you want to do. Now get in there and try it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Whatever the problem, a soft, tender approach will work wonders where other methods have failed. Gentle persuasion will be far more effective than alarming, forceful gestures.

CAPRICORN (Dec.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There's a nice synergy happening. The people you encounter will inspire you, and you them. Your connection with one sweet friend in particular will be enhanced by the sharing you do today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Relax and let go of that impossible standard of perfection you've been hanging on to. Once you accept the way you are, it will be easier to align with who you want to be.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 29). You make a stellar impression. You see yourself clearly and will relate easily to others. You'll work hard to make advances in your professional life. May brings an important breakthrough. You'll be sharing your winnings with someone special in June. September brings travel. Family makes you proud in November. Virgo and Cancer people adore you. Lucky numbers are: 7, 2, 44, 10 and 20.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "What makes the 10th house so important in a person's astrological chart?"

In astrology, the 10th house is at the zenith of your chart. This means that at the exact moment of your birth, if I had stood at your location and looked straight up at the sky, the constellation I would have seen directly overhead (if it were dark enough) would have been in your 10th house. This is an auspicious position, being at the very tip-top of your chart. It gives us a clue as to what sort of career you might excel in or how you might make a good name for yourself. This is especially true if you happen to have planets there. For example, a friend of mine has the moon, Pluto and Uranus in Virgo in her 10th house. This tells me that she is interested in exploring the intriguing psyches of others in order to help bring them healing. Is it any wonder my friend is a psychotherapist? The 10th house also traditionally represents your family name. Do you come from old money? Is your family known for their honesty or acumen in business? The answers can often be seen in this section of your natal chart.
