Horoscopes

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, April 18, 2017: This year you often feel conflicted about whether to do what you want or what you know you should do. Trying to merge both views often won’t be possible. If you are single, you meet a lot of people who could be potential suitors in the near future. You are likely to confuse someone with your mixed messages. If you are attached, you and your sweetie might want to spend more time alone together. If you notice a confused look from him or her, stop and find out what is going on. Capricorn responds to your effectiveness.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You jump from one situation to another. You might not realize just how much energy you are stirring up. Others often appreciate your enthusiasm and efforts; however, one person could be controlling in trying to get you to do what he or she wants you to do.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You know that people often say one thing, but really mean something else. Confirm in your own way that your interpretation is correct. Sometimes acting on what is said is the best approach.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You enjoy relating closely to certain individuals. Try to hang in there, even when you are feeling uncomfortable. You will gain perspective through the experience. Know that you don’t always have to be in control of a situation; in fact, let fate take the reins.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Defer to others, especially if you are not interested in the immediate situation. Your mind seems to be travelling to other times and places. You might want to make plans for a vacation in the near future. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might be overwhelmed by calls, emails and requests. You’ll want to shut out some of the activity or simply screen your calls. Know that following through will be difficult. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Someone might take your ideas and make them even better. Opt not to do anything halfway, and greet this person’s efforts positively. Remember, two minds are always better than one. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You would prefer there to be less conflict around you. What starts out as an easygoing partnership could rapidly become a problem. Try not to let a bond develop so quickly in the future, at least until you know the other party better. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) What you say could have ramifications, perhaps even more than you might have anticipated. You know the power of saying less and allowing others’ imaginations to take over. You might want to revise your thinking after some feedback. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Be aware of your budget. You could be setting yourself up for trouble without realizing it. Slow down, and use more self-discipline. You’ll need to consider a recent conversation you have had with someone, as he or she likely made a good suggestion.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Be willing to say what you think and feel, but be ready for someone else to stand up to you. Opportunities seem to come flying in from all directions. If you like one of them, do not hesitate to jump on it; otherwise, this opening might be long gone.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might be seeing a situation differently from how those around you are. A conversation with like minds will be rewarding and will allow you to open up to even better ideas. Others might not be as receptive. Say little for now.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Keep your distance from a friend who has a tendency to cause some uproar. You might act as if the effects of this person’s behaviour are irrelevant, but you quickly will discover otherwise. Recognize what you can do and what you cannot.
