Horoscopes

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, March 31, 2018: This year you could witness a new beginning in at least one area of your life. Your job or career will demand attention. You might feel a need to spend more time with your parents and/or loved ones. You value these people more the older you get. If you are single, you will meet someone in the second half of the year who could be significant to your life. If you are attached, the two of you might get along even better than usual. You understand where your sweetie comes from. Your interest in Libra grows, partially because he or she presents a different point of view from yours.

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)

★★★★ Many of you get a kick out of April Fools’ Day; however, there might be too much uproar happening now for you to focus on it. Your temper could flare, which will encourage someone you love to back off. Relax with this Full Moon, as it could be wacky.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★★ Venus, your ruling planet, moves into your sign, which makes you more attractive and desirable. The amount of conflict around you could be disparaging, but not serious. You will be able to clear up a misunderstanding soon enough.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★★ Mischief suits you fine, but be careful about getting caught in the crossfire of an argument between friends. Lie low for now, and look for the positive energy around the issue at hand. You could be more upset about a problem than you realize.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★★ Your instincts to head home as soon as you see some disruption erupt might not be a bad idea. You won’t be able to insulate yourself from all this energy, but you have a better chance of being more removed from it at home. Misunderstandings run rampant.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★ You might be unusually difficult, as someone else’s negative mood seems to put a damper on the moment. Understand that a friend could be distancing him- or herself because he or she doesn’t feel up to snuff. Let go of judgments, and just do your thing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★★ You might be concerned about a matter that is close to your heart. You detach sufficiently from the here and now, and are one of the most laid-back people around. A family member could be down, distant and/or difficult.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★ You enjoy being the main focus, but make time to slow down, take a nap or do something just for you. Others might have some difficulty with the intensity of the Full Moon and the hassles that mark this particular lunar event, but not you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★ You might want to step back and watch others for now. You won’t want to be in the middle of the fray, especially with all of the activity associated with this Full Moon. Communication contains some negativity.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★★ You always value the feedback of a friend, no matter what is going on. You no longer want to sustain the ups and downs of relating to this particular person. Make an extra effort to get in touch with another friend who needs some attention.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★ You’ll note an issue arising between family and your more public life. How you handle this matter could define today as well as a sustained period afterward. Avoid being argumentative, even if you are disappointed. Make a point to go out.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★★ Observe what is going on around you. Emphasize long-distance communication as well as a potential trip. Stay open to what is being offered. You are full of energy and ready for a change. Touch base with a loved one whom you don’t often hear from.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★★★ One-on-one relating draws positive results, especially from a partner or close loved one. Still, you might find yourself in an unusual interaction. Your focus needs to be on the other party for now. Use caution with spending or signing any money agreements.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, April 1, 2018: This year you will flourish when relating to others. Most of you can’t help but express your depth and compassion. Others could start seeing you from a new perspective. If you are single, you will meet people with ease. Decide what type of relationship you want, and choose accordingly. If you are attached, the two of you often are found out and about together. Your relationship is a source of excitement. Think twice before starting a relationship with a Scorpio.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

★★★★ Communication flourishes by midday, despite a rough start for some of you. Recognize that your responses are anything but standard or usual. You are your own person, and others frequently find you to be a bit unpredictable.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★ You could be in a situation where you have to focus on a particular project, be it taxes or making your garden look like spring. You’ll gain an insight that might make you nervous. Take a walk, and make sure you eat a solid meal.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★★★ You are not willing to give up the weekend spirit just yet. You might be ready to have a one-on-one conversation with a loved one, or head out for a picnic. An unpredictable friend could add a twist to your day, forcing an adjustment of sorts.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★★ You might feel as if a loved one is too much into power plays. Your response will be to detach and not get involved. Communication excels with an older person. At some point, this individual might surprise you with a comment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★ Opt to stay close to home. An important call heads your way. As a result, you’ll feel informed and more in control. News from a distance could shake you out of the doldrums. Make plans to go to dinner, and invite a friend to join you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★ Note that your possessive side emerges when dealing with others. Start opening up more, and the uncomfortable feelings will leave. Make important calls and touch base with key loved ones. Plans could change at the last minute.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★ You might decide to make a major purchase. You could jolt others with how quickly you follow through on it. A partner is likely to have a strong reaction. You can’t change how this person feels, but you can try to understand where he or she is coming from.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★★ Others come forward and have a lot to share. Choose to be with a close loved one, and make plans that suit both of you perfectly. You need to choose a happening that helps soothes your nerves. An unexpected visitor will catch you by surprise.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★★ Think through an idea before presenting it to others. You might want to brainstorm with a trusted adviser or confidant. The unexpected occurs as you try to arrange plans, especially those with a loved one. Be as free as possible, but be willing to pitch in.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★★ Zero in on what you want. Verbalize what you believe you deserve. Someone close to you might have a strong reaction, but don’t let it get to you. Others are likely to be very receptive. Caring naturally seems to emote from and to you!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★★★ Take charge, and you’ll get done even more than you had anticipated. Others follow your lead, but few can imitate your style. You take command much like a leader and draw others out. The exchange of ideas around you will be of interest.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★★★ Your perspective might be more evolved than many others’. Lighten up the moment by being more present with friends and loved ones. Those closest to you feel that you are the key to learning more in a certain area of their lives.
