HOROSCOPE

Monday, April 8, 2013

Aries (March 21-April 19) By midafternoon, you simply can’t be stopped. A change of pace often energizes you. What you can accomplish in a few hours might surprise many people. A discussion will be directed from the perspective of the other party.

Tonight: The world is your oyster.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Use the morning for a meeting or getting an important errand done. Once that matter is handled, you’ll feel more relaxed and perhaps like a different person. You might want to stop to do some research or return calls.

Tonight: If you need some time to yourself, just say so.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Keep reaching out to someone at a distance. You could be overwhelmed by everything that is falling into your lap. You must handle certain matters directly, but you can delegate different projects to others. You need time to think through a decision. Tonight: Chat with a friend.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Are you feeling burdened by everything you have to handle? Detach first, and then take a look at a different way of handling this overload of responsibilities. Organization and prioritizing might be essential, but don’t hesitate to ask for some much-needed help.

Tonight: Up late. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Spend the morning dealing with a situation that keeps getting postponed. By midafternoon, you could feel as if your spirit is free -- you’ll be open to trying anything, within reason. A discussion points to many different opportunities to choose from. Tonight: Go for the moment.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might be tired of not having a stronger influence in a conversation. Decide how to proceed in regard to enlarging your role in your present situation. When you are able to accomplish this, others will appreciate your feedback. Tonight: Dinner for two.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Get as much done as possible by midafternoon. You will have an important discussion with a loved one or an associate. Understand what would make you happy. You very well could be just a few steps from realizing exactly that.

Tonight: Follow someone else’s suggestion.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Tap into your creativity in the morning. One idea builds from another, and so on. You will come up with a workable solution given some time. Focus on a certain key task or project in the afternoon. You still might gain a new perspective.

Tonight: Put your feet up and relax.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be trying too hard to be reasonable, which prevents others from experiencing the excitement of your spontaneity.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Ask your follow-up questions. You will come out ahead of a situation and be fully aware of what needs to happen. Your sense of humor helps ease your path, as well as others’. Stick with a certain perspective, and share it with others.

Tonight: Head home early, if possible.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) A quick look at your finances tells you what the problem might be. Discuss the issue with someone in the know. You will know what to do in the afternoon, though you might choose to get different opinions. Only you can decide what would be most effective. Tonight: Join a friend.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You are in your element in the morning. Others respond to your requests. By late afternoon, you might decide to be a little more indulgent. Understand if a friend or loved one can’t join you immediately.
