HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY, BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

When you learn about nature, you are learning about you. When you learn about history, you are learning about you. When you learn business, you are learning about you. Mars and Neptune align in Pisces to show us how we are connected to all things. Through worldly observations, we gain deeper insights into our own existence.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Loved ones bring up emotional subjects because they are trying to get closer to you. If it bothers you, that’s an emotion. The agitation might bring closeness — at least that’s what they are banking on.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s not much you can do in advance to craft a memorable first impression, if only because you have no idea who is coming into your life. Nonetheless, you’ll harness the freshness of a moment. New beginnings offer prime opportunities.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll adapt quickly to new circumstances when you don’t resist them. The less time you spend wondering if what’s coming is fair, right or fitting, the better. In circumstances where what’s coming is “inevitable,” these nuances do not matter.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Focus outward. Connect with your broader purpose. Self-absorption breeds solitude, which is useful for many important moments of your story, but not this one. Currently, you need people. They will be your mirror and support your way to vitality.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s grace in setting and respecting personal boundaries. Embrace the power of self-control, knowing that restraint, though less flashy, yields profound rewards.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your sportsmanship is of a noble variety. This is true whether you play sports or not. It’s the team spirit that shines through you now. You’ll have the sort of victory born of connectedness. You’re a part of something and everyone will win.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You will understand a person’s joys and sorrows without needing them to articulate. You will listen without words and hear the soul in someone’s silence. It’s a manner of being for you so natural that you don’t even see how special it is.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re aware that it matters who you surround yourself with. You are in a circle of interesting and intense personalities, and you didn’t just get there by accident. They bring out the parts of you that you most need to know about now.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Huddled in your cozy cocoon of solitude, a gentle prod will coax you into the hall, out the door and into the social fray. Seek out your beloved companions and luxuriate in their company.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19 Love unfolds in its own way, by its own rules. Wouldn’t it be cool if any person knew what they actually were? Alas, love is not a “share your notes” kind of student. Love is the student that hides the papers and hopes for the best.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Integrity always. Remain steadfast in your commitment to honesty and honor. Let your actions speak louder than words, demonstrating the posture and action you want others to take with your every step.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Let passion be a signal to tread carefully. If you rush in, the details get blurred, reason obscured. Restraint is the key to enduring triumphs. Recognize when to step back so the victory is not marred by overzealousness.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 28). Nothing will stop you from expressing your heart. You will give your all to love, and it will splash back to you like sunlight from the ocean. More highlights: Three unforgettable events, elevated domestic life, and environment and habits that transform your physical self and your schedule in beautiful, daily ways. Sagittarius and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 1, 11, 19 and 3.
