YOUR HOROSCOPE
Birthday Gal: Actress Uma Thurman was born in Boston, Mass., on this date in 1970. This birthday gal earned a 1994 Oscar nomination for her breakthrough role as Mia in “Pulp Fiction.” Her other film work includes roles in such films as “Kill Bill: Volume 1,” “Batman and Robin” and “Gattaca.” In 2012, her recurring role as Rebecca Duvall on the TV series “Smash” earned her an Emmy nomination.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Put on your thinking cap and take off the boxing gloves. Find your way out of a maze of complicated cross currents by using your intelligence. You’re challenged to find ways to avoid engaging in unfair competition.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Youmay have too many irons in the fire to handle without getting burned. Rest assured that someone will show up with an insulated hot pad to lend a hand. A true blue friend may turn up just in the nick of time.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Real effort and work never hurt anyone. Rather than rattling your chains and complaining about how a job or a relationship pins you down, start spending your time putting everything in apple pie order.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Tame your impulse to overreach. You may relish the pressure of deadlines and the demands of a tight schedule. Acting on a whim by asking someone to dinner or making an impulsive purchase might leave you with regrets.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Conquer your fears. Undertaking a courageous quest to slay the dragon is the only way to win the pot of gold. Under these stars, the virtual dragon may turn out to be just blowing smoke.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Push all the right buttons. Minor irritations could temporarily block communications, but at the same time you might learn something. Be industrious to overcome a tendency to overspend or underperform.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Get organized before you get frustrated. Go over the bills with a fine-toothed comb and tighten loose screws on the doorknobs. If you put the small things in apple pie order, the big things will take care of themselves.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Give a little and get a lot more. You’ll be more successful by being soft and pliable than hard and unrelenting. The cold, businesslike attitude you sense from others could be merely your own reflection.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Skeptics say the best seat in an airplane is when it’s parked on the runway. You have a sense of adventure but must remain grounded to hold on to friendships or safeguard your reputation.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can’t score goals without being a team player. Get the go ahead from your favorite companion or significant other before you make a move. You don’t need advice, but you do need cooperation.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Anything worth having is worth waiting for. A restless dissatisfaction with the status quo could put you at odds with people in authority. This isn’t the right time to make major demands.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Finding ways to have a good time can be more work than it’s worth. Maybe you can’t find a friend to chat with or responsibilities keep you from your favorite TV show. Yield to your fate and work like a dog.
If April 29 is your birthday: Focus on making friends rather than making money during the next 8-10 weeks. In July, your morale will get a boost as helpful people give you a leg up the ladder of success or guide you to achieve heartfelt ambitions. Avoid credit purchases or major decisions in August, when you’re apt to bite off more than you can chew. During September, you might receive the answer to your prayers or a lucky break, but rest assured that whatever comes along will be good for you. Reach for the stars and go for the gold in all areas of your life. Your optimism will be rewarded and you can safely launch important plans or count on help from the universe.
