YOUR horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, April 9, 2016: This year you experience success in your daily life, whether it is at work or when pursuing a new hobby. People enjoy seeing you and visiting with you. You might decide to transform a major aspect of your life. If you are single, you are capable of popping in and out of other people’s lives. Go for excitement when dating, as that is what you are going to have.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You’ll decide that you can face a major transformation and that it will turn out OK. You will wake up with confidence. Whatever is on your mind, pursue it, but don’t be surprised if you have a different reaction later in the day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Dealing with an important matter could cause you to detach and understand more of where someone else is coming from. Your willingness to walk in someone else’s shoes will touch that individual.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Beam in more of what you want. You might need some personal time. Make sure you get it ASAP, because your popularity could become a drain and a joy at the same time. The pace will pick up very soon.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Zero in on a long-term goal, which might be as simple as throwing a party and inviting all your friends and family. You might be surprised by how well everyone gets along. Expect a sudden happening to alter your plans. Forget maintaining control.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Be aware of how much responsibility you are taking on. Don’t be afraid to make an adjustment and share plans with those who deal with you on a daily basis. Unexpected news could be quite a surprise.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Reach out to someone at a distance. This person means a lot to you and is full of wisdom. A child or a new friend could be quite changeable, and might not be the person you had in mind. Allow greater give-and-take with a close friend or loved one.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Deal with a key person in your life on a one-on-one level. You’ll have an opportunity to grow past the obvious. You might want and/or need a change around your home. Perhaps some spring cleaning is in order. Stay centered.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Defer to others, and know full well that a random chain of events could occur. Know that you can always reverse your direction and assume control. Don’t worry so much about a personal decision. You could be out of sorts when dealing with others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You might need to worry less about a matter that involves those in your daily life. You can control a situation only so much. In fact, the more controlling you become, the more unpredictable happenings that could occur. Maintain your sense of humor.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You could be more creative than you realize. You always seem to come up with a response or a solution. Perhaps because of a conservative streak, you tend to dismiss that intuitive, responsive aspect of your personality. A family member is full of surprises.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You might be in a situation where you can be as responsive as you want with a family member regarding an issue that evolves from your domestic life. Your actions ultimately could stun others, but you respond and think on a different level.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

A friend pushes his or her way into your life, demanding your time. Make it your pleasure. Happiness surrounds communication, especially with a close friend who is like a brother or sister to you. Use extreme caution with finances.

You seem to be able to communicate with others clearly, and they with you. However, know that an emotional or intellectual disagreement could arise simply because of a misunderstanding. If you are single, enjoy dating until the cold weather arrives, as this is when you will meet someone who makes you stop in your tracks.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

All the positive energy in the world might not be able to prevent a tiff from happening. Try not to overreact or have a knee-jerk reaction. Once your temper flares, so might someone else’s. Don’t mess up what could be a dreamy, fun day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You might make the best effort possible to keep a situation calm, but unfortunately the other party wants to scream, yell and carry on. You’ll have no choice but to walk away, unless you want to make a difficult situation even more difficult.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Your softer side emerges when dealing with a younger friend. You understand the depth of this person’s caring. A loved one could be jealous, which you might realize when he or she goes on the warpath.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You could feel somewhat out of touch with others. You might need to pull back and do something you really want to do. Be careful when dealing with any mechanical equipment, as you could be accident-prone. Keep your focus.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Emphasize what you want and expect from a friend; you actually might succeed in making your point heard. Expect the other party to do the same! A child could become angry, as he or she feels as if you are not giving him or her enough attention.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Pressure builds, as someone you look up to has some expectations that you might prefer not to meet. Also, a person who affects your domestic life could become angry if he or she is not the center of your universe right now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Deal with someone else directly. You might be surprised by what comes out as a result. Try to detach and listen. If you react, you could be starting a round of quarrels that you would prefer not to hear or be involved in. Choose your words with care.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You might need to be ready for what could happen if you push a loved one too hard. You also will react strongly to this person’s comments, creating some uproar. Is this what you really want? Tune in to your intuitive self.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Honor what is happening within your immediate circle of friends. You might decide to go off and do something you have really wanted to do. Call a close friend whom you don’t see often, as he or she seems to want to visit with you right now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You could be in a position where you might want to make some substantial changes. A friend could feel challenged by some of your decisions. A loved one will be delighted by the idea of some upand-coming changes.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Honor a need for some personal time, even if an older relative seems disappointed and/or angry that you don’t want to do what he or she expects you to. Refuse to respond to harsh words. There are times you need for you and you alone.
