Horoscopes by Holiday by Holiday Mathis

How's the vision in your third eye? You know, the invisible optic in the middle of your forehead that can see subtle energy fields, inner worlds and higher information. How's that eye performing? The Scorpio moon and the Pisces sun combine to produce powerful psychic keys, available to anyone who wishes to see the world a little differently.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Choosing your battles is difficult for you because you like to win, always. However, the situation you're in demands a diplomacy that might require backing down. Think about the bigger picture.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have a "eureka!" moment on the way to work. Only, it's about a problem that was more pressing a while ago. Don't dismiss the insight. Things have a way of circling back around.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You woke up thinking about someone outside your circle of daily interactions. Take it as the sign it is, and reach out to that person. You two are due for some communication.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It really annoys you to have to repeat yourself, and lately you feel like you've been doing it a lot. You wonder whether anyone is listening. The answer is yes, and the proof comes today.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There is no shame in letting the sun hit you full in the face. Ignore anyone who says otherwise. The heat you feel when you close your eyes is immediate, real and available to anyone. You're good at letting good things come to you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You'll get the feeling that you missed an opportunity. Your dissatisfaction over this is understandable, but don't dwell there. Thankfully, the story is not over yet. A second chance approaches.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are a rooster among chickens, an eagle among starlings. No, you won't ever fit in with the group, so stop trying. Today will give you an opportunity to stand up and stand out. Take it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In making it up as you go along, you often find a new technique in the process. This is why your skill set is so varied. You'll love what you learn today from a fire sign — that's Aries, Leo or Sagittarius.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). How long are you supposed to work at a dream until you walk away from it? Only you know the answer, but if you look into your heart, you will see the truth, plain as day.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your fortunes improve when you combine your cooking talent and socializing skills.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You feel lucky to love and be loved. There's so much craziness in the world, it's nice to remember that you have people you can count on. Today is a good day to give somebody something just because.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). These days, you rarely see a problem you haven't already encountered, but you are wise to keep your tools polished. You'll soon be faced with a puzzle that will take all of your resources to solve.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (March 4). This year brings a panoply of strange characters who will invigorate, befriend and amuse you. Your unfailing commitment to a job will be compensated well, though perhaps not at first. In April, your talent and determination will be recognized. May and June are highly romantic and will involve dancing. Cancer and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 50, 12 and 19.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "An astrologer told me that my moon is in Virgo. What does this mean?"

The astrologer is referring to your moon sign. By looking at your astrological birth chart, he or she can determine which constellation the moon was in at the moment of your birth. The moon, being the closest heavenly body to the earth, exerts enormous influence over the ebb and flow of water, hormones and enzymes in our physical selves, and thus on our emotions and relationships. Your moon sign indicates the area of your life that moves you most emotionally. Someone such as yourself, with a Virgo moon, could be particularly drawn to plants, pets or holistic health. You may feel cranky if your daily schedule gets thrown off, or if you don't accomplish everything on your to-do list. Knowing your moon sign is just another tool in your astrological arsenal when mining for glittery nuggets in your psyche. It shines a light on your motivations. It also brings your bugaboos out of the shadows so you can get a good look at what hidden fears are lurking beneath your surface. Once you recognize your self-sabotaging patterns, you can break free and succeed.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: "Bond" man Daniel Craig is like many of his fellow Pisces actors — an old soul who knew early on that his calling was for the stage. Starring in productions since age 6, he became famous in the British theater. But he is perhaps best known as the quintessential spy, 007. Mercury and Venus in Aquarius show an ever-young quality, as well as a love of technology and gadgetry.
