HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): To go to the next level, you’re going to need an insider secret or two. Your genuine interest in others will be the key that unlocks this door.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): It’s not always like this, but for today it’s better to ask “why” instead of “what.”

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You’re well aware of how much looks matter to the presentation of your work, your ideas and yourself.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): If you deny your own need for pleasure, self-expression and ego gratification, it will eventually demand its day.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Today you’ll do something just to become a bit “taller,” and it will stick.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Share a few details about yourself. You’ll find out quickly whose interests are likely to connect with your own.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You’ll need a little more loving care than usual today, and your nearest and dearestcan provide it.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You’ve taken on much bigger challenges than this. You can handle it.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The compassion wells up in you when you’re around those who need it.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): As luck is on your side today, a rather arbitrary action could set off a most fortuitous string of events.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll be in a good position to push past minor impediments and develop in your desired direction.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): It’s not too late to take up a new interest; in fact, your timing has never been better.

Today’s birthday (April 1): Though context is important, it’s the out-of-context and off-the-wall things you do that jolt your life into a fascinating place. Not overly concerned with the opinions of others, you’ll make remarkable progress on the passions dearest to you. There’s a windfall in July. A key relationship gives you new goals and purposes. Taurus and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 39, 8, 10, 3 and 45.
