HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 2021 Propitious Conjunction
At the start of this new moon week, an alignment of
Mercury and the Sagittarius sun comes with declarations,
goals, intentions and promises. The more public these
statements are, the more likely they are to be followed
up. And under this sky, action begets disproportionate
and wonderfully lucky momentum.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You know what’s going
on and you can’t believe others aren’t paying attention.
No matter. You’ll remedy the situation and get everyone
up to date, and you’ll even be generous enough to spell
out some complicated intricacies.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll mingle. The
perfect question isn’t the mannered one. Conversation
that doesn’t involve risk doesn’t involve fun. Find out
people’s connection to the event. Small talk leads to big
talk.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The past is a prologue
to the decisions you’ll make today. What happened back
there will play into your current confidence level. You’ll
clearly see the route to creating thought patterns that
support self-sufficiency.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll enjoy yourself.
You’ll work and play in your favorite way. Your chances
for connection are highest when you’re in this mode.
People feel your joy and want to be a part of it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You admire decisive people,
and today you’ll be one, too. It’s not that you know what
you want, it’s that you just choose and commit to the
choice. This is the way of winners.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will be expanded by
learning how others think. Your version of the truth is
not the same as another person’s, but both are equally
true. You don’t have to lose yourself to tolerate the truth
of another.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There’s a sense of
anticipation, though you’re not sure exactly what you’re
looking forward to. All the same, waiting idly is not
advised. Light busywork will clear your decks so you’re
ready to receive.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You just have to be
stubborn. No matter how difficult the task, how slowly
the work comes together, how altogether discouraging
the odds seem to be, persistence will win out.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You show people
how to treat you by the way you treat yourself. You give
off strong indicators today that you’re to be respected
and delighted. Others pick up the cue.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Circumstances
change. Try and see this as a neutral event. Stand strong
and curious, watching it all unfold. Get an accurate
overview of the scene, and your next great move will be
obvious.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your effectiveness
depends on a balanced understanding of your emotions.
Seek clues from the outside. What you’re attracted to in
music and other media will say a lot about your internal
state.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It is normal and
healthy to question yourself. Your doubts will not thwart
your progress unless you stop and examine them in
excruciating detail. So, don’t dwell on the hiccups. Keep
it light and move forward.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 28). There’s nothing like
the pleasure and satisfaction of seeing the difference
you make. You’ll overcome barriers to economic ease.
You’ll connect with kindred spirits for the common good.
You’ll grow so happy in a situation that you’ll wish to
freeze time. Nonetheless, even better configurations will
lie ahead. Scorpio and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 8, 30, 1, 33 and 18.

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2021 Mars and Neptune Redefine Success
One definition of success is being the most like you that
you can possibly be. Another definition is losing yourself
to the flow as you merge with your endeavor. There’s no
right way to be successful, only more or less-fitting
ways. Under the auspicious trine of Mars and Neptune,
many will embody success first and define it after the
fact.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You still get a little
nervous at showtime, but you’ve worked pretty hard on
your skills, and if they don’t meet the task in some way,
you can trust that you’ll find the solution as you go.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You don’t really try to
bring out the best in people; it just happens because of
how you see them. You’re expecting people to be good,
fun and interesting... and they will not disappoint, at
least not while they are around you!
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Limbo may be a fun
game but it’s not a fun position and is undesirable as
a destination. So, a decision must be made. Either way,
it’s going to be better than the uncertainty of wondering
which way to go.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Like an artist who steps
back to behold a work in progress from a distance, you
begin to see the shape of your life. You’re objective. What
you observe with fresh eyes will inspire you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don’t mind dialing your
energy to match that of others, but if you too often have
to adapt yourself so as not to outshine anyone, it’s time
to consider whether you may thrive in another kind of
environment.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s hard to get things
done when so many compete for your attention, but the
good that comes out of it is that you will be inspired to
create your own environment.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your intuition is a
mysterious visitor, often showing up in full force and
without warning. Your intuition won’t be commanded or
controlled but it can be invited and will come more often
when you delight in its presence.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You support the
best in others and give assistance without creating
dependencies. Your sincerity will not be assessed by
what you do for people; it’s made apparent by what you
don’t do. Boundaries are love.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re open to
new life events, but you’re not waiting for them. Sign up
for an activity or go deeper into an interest. It will give
you the sense of coming back to yourself, followed by
the realization you’re better than ever.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A relationship will
get more comfortable for you because you communicate
well. You don’t blame others for your feelings. You share
strategically, helpfully and selflessly.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Would you rather
have $1 now or $2 in a week? Various forms of this
question will arise with today’s theme of the short term
vs. the long game.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You can avoid known
stress-inducers, steer clear of annoyances and sidestep
foreseeable complications, but the more controlled
things are, the less alive they will seem. There’s a happy
medium to hit here.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 29). Relationships are
your treasures. You’ve a talent for choosing the ones
that will both fortify and utilize you. Mutual needs get
met once you figure out what they are. Have patience.
In the professional realm, you’ll meet a deadline, save
the day, rise in the ranks and have a season of rulership.
Capricorn and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 6, 3, 33, 30 and 5
