By Holiday Mathis bliss. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When was the last time you made a decision based purely on your own needs and preferences? You’re overdue for making a seemingly selfi sh choice, and you’re not the only one who will benefi t from this. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Not all of your friends are a good infl uence on you all of the time. Be aware of the subtle persuasions of others. Try to keep company strictly with those who make you feel good about yourself. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19 ). The dating world is an extremely complicated place. But you will be guided by natural instincts that make it easier to navigate, whether for yourself or for your loved ones. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll be at your best in casual situations. Avoid formality wherever possible. And if you must take part in a formal arrangement, learn the rules first and apply them well. PISCES (Feb. 19 -March 20). Choose carefully who you want to get to know, because this choice will send you on a journey. You’ll make eye contact, and suddenly the ball is rolling. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 3). When it comes to your love life, your judgment will be consistently stellar. You’ll make choices that bring you closer to the ones you want to be near. You’ll participate in an exciting challenge in the next six weeks. There’s a move or renovation in June. Family additions come in August. You have a special connection with Aquarius and Gemini people. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 25, 44, 10 and 15.

Accept goodness in whatever package it comes, and be careful not to put too may conditions on your requests of others. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Be compassionate, especially toward yourself. You are probably feeling uncharacteristically fragile. You tell others to take it easy on themselves, and now you need to do the same. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Use all of your senses to tune into your boss, clients and customers. You’ll make an important discovery, and you could find a very profi table application for what you learn. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll receive praise, which is sometimes challenging for someone as modest as you. Regardless of how it feels initially, somewhere deep inside yourself you know that you are worthy of this, so smile and take it all in. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You want to be laid back and patient, but something inside you is pushing forward. It’s as though you know you’re supposed to be somewhere else and you can’t wait to get there. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Plans are vulnerable to getting foiled by the smallest typo or miscommunication. Double-check times, dates and locations to make sure everyone is on the same page. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There is an exciting new interest in your life, and this is taking up more and more of your mental space. Let the excitement you feel spill into all areas of your life.
