HOROSCOPES

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Anyone who’s ever undergone a construction project knows that destruction is part of expansion. Out of the rubble rises a new frame.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll be sharpened by dealing with problems. Seek input from those who’ve been there already and who have something to teach about that.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You desire to neither control nor be controlled. People with good intent usually don’t mind when you set a boundary.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Galileo declared that the universe was written in the language of mathematics, without which we cannot understand a single “word” of it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If there’s a recipe for feeling good, you don’t need to follow it. You’re like the master chef with so much experience that you need no added instruction.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Being a role model beats trying to get your point across with verbal instruction, especially considering how often you’ve had to repeat yourself lately.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are many principles that are so much a part of who you are that sticking by them is your first reaction, even if that hurts a little.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You can put the brakes on a project if you want to. Things will definitely slow, but the screeching sound will attract much attention.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Who is rich? The child with a million toys who can’t find one he likes to play with, or the child with one toy beloved?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll break from assuming you’re good to demand from yourself an honest tally of the good you’ve done lately. Only a good person would do this.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). What you’re working on now is not a quick fix but a solution with many steps that will unfold over time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Very little is needed to make you happy today, and anything required is well within your reach. And yet... there’s nothing like a good chase.

YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY (April 4). The character traits that impact your happiness include loyalty, integrity and courage. You’ll balance virtuous work with lighter investments. Mentors delight to your asks, so return often. Keep learning and making requests until you feel certain of your path. Gemini and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 44, 12, 9 and 15.
