Horoscopes by Holiday by Holiday Mathis

The Libran moon and Gemini sun are a happy and high-minded combination. If you've been at a loss for mentally stimulating companionship, you won't have to look long for it today. There will be frisky debate and smart exchanges. Matters of taste will be hashed out. You'll examine your own choices as you discover why others made theirs.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You're very selective these days. You don't just fall for any interesting proposal that comes along. Being careful about how you spend your time and whom you spend it with makes you appear more valuable in the eyes of others.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You greatly value independent thinking. You will be drawn to the unusual and tend to find deep meaning in one-of-a-kind objects. Your unconventionality fuels a creative venture of a lifetime.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Strong people want to compete with you because they sense you are equally matched. If you oppose one another, you cancel out one another's strengths. If you share a vision, you will accomplish much together.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Get a new perspective on your current situation by physically adjusting your view. You mentally work things out after a change of scenery. So take off for a long walk or hit the highway in your car.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Sure, you want people to be comfortable around you. However, you expect your loved ones to have certain things together in their lives if they are going to be tight with you. These standards keep everyone honest.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (JUNE 1). Your relationships will be refreshed this year. Some of you will form a new business with an old friend. A few of you could marry a former schoolmate. There will be an important development in your career in August. Family influences your choice of location in September — you could visit or move to a new place then. Pisces and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 22, 49 and 18.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Continued success is virtually assured when you stay true to your personal values in the face of what amounts to a bartering for your integrity. Hold fast and you will win the long race.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You may feel uncertain as to whether you are making a difference in the world, but you're just fine. Have confidence that because you are doing the right thing, ultimately what's happening will be best for everyone.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When true friends disagree, it is time to pay attention. If you find your usual supporters exerting pressure in opposition to your plan, you can be assured there is good reason for their reticence.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). In reality, you may be a salesclerk in a shoe store, but figuratively, for today anyway, you are on a mission in a jungle where pith helmeted, sunburned and battered, you emerge from the bush to make a great discovery.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You can adroitly communicate ideas. You'll be a dynamo at work, as long as you have a platform on which to shine. If you don't have a challenging-enough job, it's time for you to create a project you can really get behind.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You make your way through the crowd, not by pushing and pulling, but by using your common sense and moving through open spaces. The road to victory may be a labyrinth, but victory is yours in the end.

PISCES (Feb.19-March 20). This is what you have been waiting for: a new star. Rest time is over. Feel free to pursue the positive goals that perennially ran through your mind during your downtime (and get that new hairdo).

COSMIC RX FOR A BROKEN HEART, PART ONE: Heart broke? Most of us go through it one time or another. If you're in the thick of it, let your sun sign give you clues about how to get through it. As I say in my book, "Rock Your Stars," Aries people going through a hard time should not vow to remain friends with the ex. Instead, Aries, you should jump right back into the dating pool, even if it means spending time with people you'd rather drown than go to a movie with. Believe it or not, for you, being annoyed with your choices is part of the healing process. As for Taurus, the story is different. The bull usually reacts to heartache with shock and denial, followed by a period of intense self-pity. Wallow in it, Taurus! Don't share your chocolate. Let yourself wear the same clothes for days while eating nothing but candy and coffee. Usually by day five, you're pretty sick of the sad thing. With your special resolve, you have the power to pick yourself up and never look back. Now, Gemini can usually heal a broken heart with the art of distraction. Getting deeply into another topic of interest unrelated to romance is the quickest way to normalcy.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Heidi Klum shows her Gemini versatility by taking on a myriad of roles from supermodel to super-mom, not to mention actress, television host, television producer and fashion designer — just to name a few. The twins have abundant energy and love to be a part of many different projects at once. Their astrological success formula decrees: The more Gemini has to do, the happier Gemini is.
