Happy birthday for Sunday, April 16, 2017: This year you are optimistic yet serious. Not everyone can handle inconsiste­ncy as well as you can. Your decisions tend to differ according to what mood you’re in. If you are single, a potential sweetie finds you very exciting. Don’t worry about defining your feelings -- just enjoy being with this person. If you are attached, hopefully your significan­t other understand­s that you are in a phase of some sort. Find a special way to let your sweetie know how much you appreciate him or her. CAPRICORN often rains on your parade.

Capricorn -

(Dec 22 - Jan 19)

**** Use the daylight hours to do whatever you want. You might be in the process of renewing your energy and taking a break from the recent hectic pace. Accept an invitation for an evening out with some friends, and you’ll be glad that you did. Tonight: Full of get-upand-go. This Week: A family member might need your support.

Aquarius -

(Jan 20 - Feb 18)

*** Your sense of direction emerges in a discussion. Make calls and reach out to someone at a distance. It might fit your schedule perfectly to plan a vacation with a loved one in the near future. Consider meeting this person halfway. Tonight: Get a head start on Monday.

This Week: You will need to hide out to get anything done.

Pisces -

(Feb 19 - Mar 20)

This Week: Use care with an investment.

Aries -

(Mar 21 - Apr 19)

*** Detach in order to come to a better understand­ing of where others are coming from. Moving out of your mindset will be critical. A serious talk could relieve some of the stress you feel. Your spontaneit­y could take over. Tonight: Only now can a conversati­on become possible.

This Week: The cards are stacked in your favor.

Taurus -

(Apr 20 - May 20)

This Week: Wednesday’s New Moon brings you a new beginning.

Gemini -

(May 21 - June 20)

***** Many people will seek you out. The reasons vary, but the message is clear: Your support means a lot. A serious conversati­on can be postponed, but make sure that you’re OK with that choice. You don’t want to ruin a close-to-perfect afternoon. Tonight: Let your hair down.

This Week: Networking takes up much of the next few days.

Cancer -

(June 21 - July 22)

*** Try not to wear yourself down by pushing too hard to complete a project. You could find yourself running around doing errands. Take a nap if you can, as plans might pop up from out of the blue. Go out and meet up with a friend. Tonight: Finally, you can let off some steam.

This Week: Take a stand. Let others hear what you really think.

Leo -

(July 23 - Aug 22)

*** You might choose to work from home or take the day off. How you structure your free time and decide what to do could vary from person to person. Make the most of this unanticipa­ted personal time. Pursue whatever is your pleasure. Tonight: Wind down.

This Week: Your smile opens doors.

Virgo -

(Aug 23 - Sept 22):

**** Getting going takes effort, but try not to push yourself too hard. Take a lazy day or a few hours to go off and indulge yourself. Out of a lessening of rigidity emerges some compassion and perhaps even some carefree moments. Tonight: Enjoy the laughter that surrounds you.

This Week: A partner becomes more responsive.

Libra -

(Sept 23 - Oct 22)

**** Make morning calls and enjoy catching up with loved ones. A friend might have some fun news to share. Staying close to certain individual­s remains a high priority for you. You could be surprised by a partner’s reaction later in the day. Try not to take it personally. Tonight: Out late.

This Week: Allow others to show their cards first.

Scorpio -

(Oct 23 - Nov 21)

**** You could be in a situation where you feel as if you have to handle a personal and/ or financial matter. You might need to end the thought of making a purchase you have been considerin­g for a while. Make plans for later in the day. Tonight: Swap news with a friend.

This Week: Dive into work.

Sagittariu­s -

(Nov 22 - Dec 21)

*** You could be coming off more seriously than you realize. Perhaps your taxes have posed a challenge for you, or maybe you are simply looking at a more serious issue than usual. Decide to indulge yourself a little. Tonight: Make dinner an event.

This Week: Taming the wild beast within might take you until Wednesday.
