HOROSCOPES by Holiday
ARIES (March 21-April
19). Even though you're
generous, you're also
mindful of the utility of
your gifts. If it won't be
used or appreciated, it's a
wasted effort. You'll be *
careful how and to whom
you share now.
. TAURUS (April 20-May
20). On this day, you taste
the good life. What makes
it the good life is that it's
the only portion of life you
can fully experience and
influence at this time.
Realizing this makes it ever
sweeter.
Y GEMINI (May 21-June
21). A snake must give up
the outer parts of his for
mer self in order to grow.
You're not like that — you
grow best by giving up
something inside. You'll let
go of remnants of your for
mer self that no longer
applies.
- CANCER (June 22-July
22).Y0u don’t have to ana
lyze where you went
wrong because it will soon
go quite right, rendering
the exercise useless. For
now, hold on with faith.
Trust that you're meant for
good things.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
Your personal plot is deter
mined by the contents of
your character. You'll work
to uphold and refine your
values, namely the ones
that have to do with keep
ing your word.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22). You may come up
against a difference of pac
ing and it's a healthy thing
to deal with. After all, you
don’t need someone who
always sits when you sit
and jumps when you jump
—that's what shadows are
for.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
You may catch yourself in
the act of trying too hard
because you want some
thing very badly. Back off
and examine the many
options available to you.
Holding on so tightly to
this one is restricting and
needless.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). No one is trying to
deceive you; however,
there are those around you
who want you to react in a
certain way and they will
position themselves
accordingly. You'll be wide
awake.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
22-Dec. 21). Does your
heart in fact have an agen
da that your head is not
aware of? The evidence
points to “yes” as you find
yourself doing the oppo
site of what you had
planned.
CAPRICORN (Dec.
22-Jan. 19). It’s said that
many love the king and
few love the pauper. But
the king still insists that
it's lonely at the top. And
the pauper knows his
small circle give true
affection without ulterior
motives.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You like your friends
to agree with you, though
you don't require it. In fact,
today you'll appreciate
their contrary opinions a
great deal. Constructive
criticism will help you
make the best choice.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). There's something
sweet in reminiscence. For
you, it's not really about
being stuck in the past.
Rather it's about creating a
past that mingles poetical
ly with your present point
of view.

goal every game — to per
fect the soul. When one
has played this video
game several times, one
begins to learn the ins and
outs and thus have a more
mature perspective about
what it takes to manage
the game.
Someone who just sat
down to play the game for
the first is no better or
worse than someone who
has played the game one
hundred times. (Just like a
toddler is no better or
worse than a 34-year-old
person.) One is simply
more experienced than the
other. My advice is to think
about your son's talents
and strengths and remind
him and others of these
qualities whenever he old
soul compliment comes up.
