HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, April 16, 2018:

This year you open up to new ideas and different people. The unexpected often marks situations that you are in. Maintain a grounded perspectiv­e and don’t test others too much, as they can be very sensitive. If you are single, you meet prospectiv­e suitors easily. Know that you might go through several suitors before you are able to clearly define what you want in a relationsh­ip. If you are attached, the two of you relate with more depth and versatilit­y. Remember that this relationsh­ip is very important to you. Taurus delights you with his or her stability and patience.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

★★★★ You could feel out of sync when dealing with someone else. This person might be somewhat stern and withdrawn. The unexpected runs rampant in the morning. You might not be sure of what you are hearing, so it would be wise to ask questions.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★★★ You might feel as if you are ready to go, but either your mind or body seems to be dragging behind. Understand that this feeling will pass soon, but make it OK to honour it for now. You probably will want to take a break until you are more put together.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★★ You will want to fulfil a need that involves a long-term commitment, but you might need to wait, as the timing could feel off. Unexpected events seem to occur around a friend or group of friends. Do your best to bypass a sketchy situation.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★ Curb your moodiness for the moment. There might be an element of the unexpected at play, but know that everything will work out in the long run. A work situation could be more unstable than you originally had thought. Proceed with caution.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★ Keep reaching out for what you desire. Right now, you might be more concerned with a profession­al matter. You’ll want to take a hard look at your image. Perhaps a change in how you present yourself could make a real difference in your life.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★★ You might want to push your limits and see what happens. In any case, you will gain a fresh perspectiv­e as you connect with those around you. The dynamics of your interactio­ns with others could make all the difference.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★ Knowing when to defer to others can make a big difference in your choices. You are full of get-up-and-go, and naturally will assume a leadership role. Let someone else call the shots for now, and open up to new ideas.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★ Get into the pace of the day. Relax, and you will get a lot more done. Work in some exercise or moving around. Maintain good habits for eating and exercising, and you will have more stamina as a result. Let someone else make the first move.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★ Pace yourself, and don’t allow yourself to be thrown into chaos just because someone at a distance is seeking you out. You could be stunned by this person’s bluntness. Be smart, as financial demands could be heavy. Restrict your spending, if need be.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★★ Express yourself. Others appreciate your fast response to the unexpected. You are likely to handle a domestic or family matter with ease. Be more forthright when dealing with a loved one. This person would appreciate a direct and succinct answer.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★★ Listen to news more carefully. Seek out more of what you want. You might find what is occurring to be timeconsum­ing at best and startling at worst. Recognize that you are in a difficult situation and try to relax. Take a walk, if necessary.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★★ Your finances could experience an interestin­g twist if you are not careful. Stay on top of what is happening, and maintain a strict budget. You are coming from a unique point of view that needs to be explored. Share your thoughts more often.
