HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 30, 2020 Full Moon Preshow in Pisces
The past is a good place to go to school and a terrible
place to vacation. Sure, good times were had. Also,
mistakes were made, opportunities overlooked and
more. During this full moon preshow in Pisces, look
back only long enough to make a summary of your
recent lessons. Tomorrow, we push ahead with the
full moon in fresh Aries.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). It won’t be enough to
do the thing once, although doing a thing once a day
for the next four weeks will work wonders. Now the
question is, how are you going to remind yourself?
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your capacity to delight
others is large and ever-expanding. You get such
a thrill from seeing their smiles that the quest has
become, by now, a sweet addiction.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s not a stretch to say
that relationships matter more to you than anything
else in life, or even more than life itself, since you
gladly give so much of your time and breath to making
them run beautifully.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). How readily do you
forgive? If you do decide that someone needs
forgiveness, you’ll take it through a process. Your
conscious awareness of this process will help you
sort out today’s action.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Generous and helpful, you
have plenty to offer people. Avoid giving it in the form
of advice though, especially the unsolicited variety.
Most people don’t even listen to the advice they
actually asked for.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Age-old wisdom holds up
for good reason. Truth endures. Well over a millennia
ago, Plato said, “For a man to conquer himself is the
first and noblest of all victories.” This still applies
today.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are certain people
around who give you such a warm feeling that it’s
like the two of you are much better friends than
your actual friendship history would suggest. It’s OK
because the feeling is mutual.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Laughing is intimacy.
When you make someone laugh, they are connecting
with you on a deeper than surface level – a level of
truth, pain and vulnerability.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The reason not to
participate in gossip is that afterward you’d feel dirty,
and the next time you saw the person you’d spoken ill
of, you would feel even worse. That’s reason enough
to stay out of it.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s like all of your
life is being run by a scientific inquiry. You’ll make
a prediction and then conduct an experiment to see
what occurs. Be sure to record it all, because that will
ultimately be your key to success.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s easier to make a
thing happen when you want it so badly that you’re
having trouble thinking of anything else.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What gets confusing is
when you don’t know if you love a person, or you love
your projected fantasy about who that person is. The
question will have more relevance today when you’re
likely to be thrown by someone’s behavior.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 30). Because you prize
intimacy over power, you’ll enjoy a sweet stretch
for relationships in which the vulnerable sharing of
feelings allows for continuously joyful connections.
Your influence in a group will lead to money in
November. You’ll invest well, which leads to lifestyle
upgrades down the line. Aries and Gemini adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 1, 49, 3, 27 and 41.

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2020 Full Warrior Moon Warning
This full harvest moon stirs up conflict. Those who
cannot tolerate differences of opinion take clashes
in worldviews as personal affronts. Like Don Quixote,
they thrash at life, angrily defending against windmills
they imagine to be giants. The confused, indignant
and unreasonable ones are best avoided under this
hotheaded warrior moon.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The temptation will be
to get a diagnosis for things that may or may not be
better off with one. How much does it really matter
what you call a thing? Not as much as coming up with
a course of action to make it all work.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You may start feeling like
things are getting away from you, but it won’t take
much to reestablish your grip. Center yourself, and
then make a boundary decision or two.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). While it’s depleting
to dwell on those wishes that must be granted
somewhere outside of your realm of control, it is
enormously energizing indeed to focus on what is
doable.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). If someone is with you
one week and against you the next, then it’s not love;
it’s a transaction. Relationships that are based on an
arrangement tend to change when the arrangement
does.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). To blame one person would
be reductive and to blame everyone would be
meaningless. Why blame anyone at all? Accept what
is, and then do what you need to do to move the
situation where you need it to be.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re susceptible to
beauty. You’ve a weakness for sweetness, and you
can be deeply moved by instances of loveliness. You’ll
find uplift in the smile of a certain someone.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll distrust over-the-top
sentiments and will prefer to be shown respect and
love in low-key ways. Your favorite acknowledgment
will be quality time together doing the things that you
find relaxing.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Conflict is easily
deactivated. Chances are that this is rooted in a
misunderstanding. When you assume that everyone
involved started with goodwill, you can calmly sort the
facts and figure out what happened.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It takes getting
around new people to know that you have more
stories to share than you realize. Part of enjoying your
interesting life is in retelling it to people, especially
good listeners.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Gray areas aren’t to
be feared; rather, they are to be observed, tolerated,
negotiated and, considering they encompass most of
existence, hopefully, ultimately embraced.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You can take an
action, feel good about it afterward, and still not be
completely convinced that it was the right thing to do.
You’ll check back in a year or two. Until then, wash
your hands of it and move on.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The young feel
omnipotent. To some extent, the same goes for the
immature and inexperienced. This is a necessary
state at the start of any pursuit. If we knew what there
was to fear, we’d never embark.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 1). Wowed by superficial
attributes, others seek to know you the depths of you.
How fulfilling to be so thoroughly appreciated. You’ll
gain lifestyle improvements as you organize your
possessions and time differently. An educational win
will be followed by a work opportunity that has your
social network buzzing. Scorpio and Sagittarius adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 13, 20, 1 and 48.
