HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): One thing leads to another. If you want to change the “another” your best bet is to start with the “one thing.”

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Working together with people who share your values and principles will create a strong bond.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Avoid casting a wide net in hopes of dragging back in something or someone that can help you. Instead, be strategic.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You’ll be wondering how far you should go with the truth. If being honest is going to wound someone, is it really necessary?

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Play is a mood, and when it hits as strongly as it will today, the whole world becomes a toy store.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ll do well to think in terms of relationships instead of transactions. Transactions happen when people carry out their roles. But no one is a role. Everyone is a person, playing a role. Relationships transcend roles.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Not only is it very rare to succeed on the first try but also today it would be unlucky. It’s far luckier to make mistakes and experience the entire learning curve.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Meaning is something that each person must create, determine and assign.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): There’s no reason to try to hide your idiosyncrasies, as they will help you learn more about people.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There are two futures, the one you make and the one you don’t. Today you’ll spend energy on both.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s not what you say but how you say it that will matter. Choosing the right words does help.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll time travel through your memory and your projections of the future, and there’s happiness to be mined in both places.

Today’s birthday (April 10): You’ll enjoy a life of moderation for the next six weeks. Then the intensity turns up in one area of your life. You’ll specialize your focus and be celebrated (and compensated) for the remarkable skill you hone through the rest of this solar return. Conversation sparks an adventure in August. October brings a commitment. Taurus and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 13, 33, 40 and 18.
