Horoscopes by Holiday by Holiday Mathis

The Pisces moon stirs up sensitivities, which can be quite positive as long as you're with people who gravitate toward the more upbeat emotions. For instance, it will be even easier than usual to make people laugh or to warm them up with a smile. Make a conscious effort to avoid saying or doing anything that might hurt feelings.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will choose to forgive someone. Honestly, it's more for you than it is for the other person. You want to move forward, and the only way is to make peace with the past and let go.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Trust in yourself and your ability. You will accomplish something that people who are older and more experienced cannot do or haven't done for unknown reasons.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You could move a mountain with a spoon if it were the only tool you had. You are persistent enough to chip away at a problem, and it will diminish one tiny chunk at a time.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are confidently self-assured, and yet you may wonder at times today whether you have crossed an invisible line of some kind by being more assertive than is really necessary for the situation.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You used to be more passive than you are, but you found that letting people impose their will on you was time consuming and joyless. You're too busy now doing your own thing and doing it your own way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You'll feel generally good about your decisions, even though it will be a while before you know whether they play out the way you want them to. For now, revel in optimistic faith.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There is always a risk that when you state what you think, others won't agree. You'll be inclined to stand back and assess the group before you add your two cents to the discussion.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Conflict leads to stress. But it also leads to change. Since you want to make change, you'll likely be willing to deal with some of the stress that comes along with the fight.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You get to say what you want and how you feel, and you allow others to do the same. Even in disagreements, proper communication can allow both parties to leave the conversation feeling successful.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You generally don't like asking for help. But just because you can do something for yourself doesn't mean you should. You may be inaccurately assessing what is already on your plate.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your friends think of you, but they may not reach out to you every time you cross their minds. So you'll really appreciate the wave of loving attention you get today, and it's much deserved.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Relationships work best with a balanced approach. You'll figure out when to let go, when to hold on and when to push a little bit. You'll shine in this regard, and people will look to you for social cues.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 2). You'll see the big picture as it is, and you'll also get a vivid image of how you want it to be. The new year shows you growing in faith and influence. You'll adjust your actions to head toward your own personal Promised Land. One relationship will open professional doors for you. Vows and agreements are signed in May. Scorpio and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 33, 16 and 17.

WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: You'll capitalize on an asset you once tried to hide. You now see it for the gift it truly is. TAURUS: Sometimes you wish there was a class you could take about the opposite sex. There probably isn't, though a book might help. GEMINI: Risk rejection. The more you do this the more confident you'll become and the less likely you'll be rejected. CANCER: You'll take what a loved one says to heart, and you'll act on the information. LEO: You'll channel your energy into trying to impress someone who isn't so easily impressed. VIRGO: You'll be delightfully spontaneous and will cause someone's heart to skip a beat. LIBRA: Your loyalty is to be commended. You speak highly of your loved ones behind their backs. SCORPIO: You're not ready for your secret wishes to be known except by you and the magical forces on the wind. SAGITTARIUS: You'll be able to relax with someone who once made you quite nervous. CAPRICORN: You'll ignore what you don't know how to address, and you'll focus on the most positive aspects of others. AQUARIUS: It's fine not to have a plan when it comes to fun. PISCES: You'll keep your communication short and sweet and create a bit of mystery in the process.

COUPLE OF THE WEEKEND: Pisces and Sagittarius are adaptive signs that fall into the modality of "mutable." They can custom fit their mannerisms, attitudes and behaviors to suit their special bond and are quite willing to do so. The relationship is elevated because of the specific kind of attention they give to each other. It doesn't matter that each behaves differently outside the relationship; that's part of the human condition.
