Horoscopes by Holiday

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You don't have to bungee jump off a bridge in order to feel that you've taken a thrilling chance on life. All that is needed is for you to tell the truth.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are a lucky person to have around because you are prone to happy mistakes today.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When things go right in the domestic circle, all is well with the world. You are the biggest variable in your home environment.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you honestly disagree with a partner, it means one or both of you are about to learn something of value.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Put some spice in your future. Perhaps it's time you startled someone into a state of joy.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Some people talk about their dreams all the time. You prefer to be a bit more private these days.
