Horoscopes

ARIES

When someone tries to rattle your cage you may be tempted to rattle back. You’ll get the most satisfaction from visiting new places and meeting people in the coming week, but may be reckless about risks.

Direct your energy. An organized plan of action can lead to accomplishment in the week ahead. You may be wiser than usual when dealing with financial matters and more skillful in complicated negotiations.

The best things in life take time. Tame your impatience in the week to come. The object of your affection can serve as a calming influence. An informal chat with a colleague could dissolve misunderstandings.

Two’s company, three’s a crowd. It may be difficult to spend quality time alone with someone you love in the week ahead because there are too many others begging for attention. Remain devoted to a relationship.

Do your own thing. Your friendly, outgoing manner could attract new people and friends. You might be able to slip out from behind the bars that block your freedom and act independently in the week to come.

It's time to clear the air. There is a tendency to appear too serious when playfulness is in order and vice versa. Someone who seems to want sympathy might not appreciate your helpfulness in the week ahead.

You may be surrounded by energetic go-getters. You can feed off their energy without taking unnecessary risks. Don’t expect too much, too soon, from a potential romantic hookup this week. Take your time. Avoid becoming involved in trivialities and keep focused on your most important goals in the week ahead. You may incur unnecessary expenses in the coming week that you regret later.

A spoonful of sugar can be addictive. Be sweet and charming to please a special someone or use your people skills to smooth out a business transaction. You may receive public notice in the week ahead.

Avoid sending mixed signals. In group settings you may overreach the limits of your authority and may end up as the odd man out in the week ahead. Mind your own business, not other people’s business.

Concentrate on building a solid framework for a lasting relationship in the week ahead. No matter what your objective or whether you are a workaholic or a homebody, two heads will be better than one.

There is a new moon in your sign today. This may offer a subtle change of direction as the week unfolds. Your social skills are in tiptop condition, so you’ll have no trouble developing new contacts and connections. You might be riding on a wave of excitement and inspiration during the coming six to eight weeks. Changes in your life could be of prime importance and you must remain flexible until the dust settles. Both April and June are good months for vacations or to spend time with a romantic partner. Keep your money in your pocket and steer clear of major financial transactions in May, when your business sense is at a low point. Wait until late July or early August to make key business decisions. In September you can launch important plans that benefit from wise advice and assistance from others.
