HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2021 Stars and Hearts
Run love through your heart – any form of love will
do – and it blossoms. Mercury and Jupiter conjunct
in Aquarius focuses on a friendly version of love, so
plenty of pink and yellow roses will be exchanged
amongst the crimson glories. As for passionate ties,
they’ll be given to hyperbole and illusion, as if seen
through a sparkly Instagram filter.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Being close always has
its unique challenges, though lately more so. While
you don’t need any extra incentive to figure out how
to be close, it adds sweetness to your journey.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Books tell one version
of romance and witnessing real relationships tells
another. But firsthand experience is the only way
to really learn love, as the heart can’t be fed on
secondhand knowledge.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You become aware of the
stories you tell yourself about love, how you’ve known
it, what you expect from it, what it should look like,
how it should move through your life, and more. Keep
or change these according to your goals.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have a big variety
pack of love to share, a custom version for those close
to you and even those in outer circles will receive
something a little unique in every interaction with you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). What’s important is that
you move relationships forward without hesitation,
overthinking beforehand or ruminating afterward.
Love warriors like you lunge forward in courage and
faith.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The romantic traditions
are so old, no one remembers or knows exactly how
they came to be or what purpose they originally
served, but none of that matter now, only that they are
upheld. They are the glue of the group or relationship.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Feeling safe and entirely
wanted allows you to bring your whole self to love.
And when this is the case in a relationship of any kind,
it ignites a magic spark that makes the relationship
burn brighter than the sum of its parts.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Interacting in
group settings give you perspective on love and
relationships, even if this comes in the form of a group
video or text. You’re at your most playful and attractive
when performing for an audience.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Love comes alive
in your world as you flex your mental and emotional
muscles while fully inhabiting the moment. From
a place of calm observation, you’ll find and seize
opportunities for connection.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Use the element of
surprise as you express what’s in your heart. This
makes it fun for you, too. You’re at your exciting best
when you’re kicking things up a notch.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Oh, the joy of reciprocal
love! You’ll get the evidence that someone loves you
back. Even better will be the feeling of delivering your
own evidence of love and creating just the effect you
were going for.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There’s much you want
to do today and you can’t do it all, which is good news.
You can pick just the things that make your heart beat
faster and set yourself up for love’s thrill.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 14). You’re so attractive as
you buzz with creative energy. You’ll get the resources
you need to fully express a vision. The best part of
this is slipping into a position to hire and help people.
Your professional efforts will earn handsomely, and
your amateur efforts will net a wealth of knowledge,
adventure and friendship. Scorpio and Aries adore
you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 44, 36, 28 and 11.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 2021 Aries Moon Presides Over Presidents Day
The warrior Aries moon presides over the celebration
of Presidents Day, a day to honor the February
birthdays of two beloved commanders in chief who
led in the battle for the unity and sovereignty of the
United States of America. Born on either side of the
solar change, Abraham Lincoln was an Aquarius and
George Washington a Pisces.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Take whatever effort you
planned to put in and times it by 10. That’s about what
you deliver on the regular, because when it comes to
the things you care about, going overboard seems like
the most natural thing to do in the world.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). At the lower levels,
there are penalties for going against the rules. It’s
confusing to you, though, because it does seem that
at the higher levels, the rules change entirely, if there
are any at all.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What to do with one
another is not a logistical problem but a relational
one. However, the right timing and atmosphere will be
conducive to an easy feeling and good communication,
both of which will contribute greatly to success.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Commitments aren’t
made out of laziness, but bad habits are. Pleasure and
inaction are easily repeated until the pattern becomes
a rut. You’ll decide to repeat the more difficult thing,
and it’s a commitment that will stick.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The amount of time and
energy that go into asserting your control over an
uncertain area of life is silly. There’s no guarantee that
if you succeed, you’ll be secure. You can add hours to
your life by simply accepting the uncertainty.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The problem can be
solved quite simply, by cutting out that which is
unnecessary. The simplicity and lightness of working
without all the bells and whistles is not only effective;
it’s so pleasurable it may become the new standard.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The pursuit of knowledge
is beneficial in that you’ll learn a ton of information,
but it can also be an avoidance tactic because it’s less
scary to read than it is to actually get in there and
experience the thing.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re focused on seeing
a transaction start well and end well. This means prep
work, showing up early, staying late, a wrap-up, and a
reflection to understand what worked and what didn’t
and plan the next approach.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You do the correct
thing, do the fun thing, add the extra charm, put your
spin on it... because you never do know when you’re
doing something that the other person will remember
far into the future.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Talk to friends about
what you’re afraid of. When you share your fear with
someone who gets it, you go a long way toward
relieving the sort of pressure that tends to blow fears
out of proportion.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You take responsibility
for what happens to you, not because it’s all directly
in your control – much of it isn’t – but because it helps
you to see where your points of leverage and control
are so you can seize them when you can.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your mind will churn
out rationalizations to keep you impeccable, but
you recognize that it’s a trick. No one is impeccable,
and it’s human nature to avoid the vulnerability that
comes from being wrong.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 15). You’ll do astounding
amounts of good because you stop chasing good’s
enemy: “perfect.” This single change will be
responsible for increasing your income by thousands
and doubling up on your productivity levels, too. A
simple mutual goal begins an exciting relationship
journey. Virgo and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 12, 5, 18, 33 and 9.
