HOROSCOPE

Aries ( March 21- April 19): Even though the way a person acts is a reflection of who he or she really is, you get the strange feeling that you are someone other than the person enacting your behavior.

Taurus ( April 20- May 20): If you grip the controls harder than is necessary, it will limit your range of motion and lengthen your response time.

Gemini ( May 21- June 21): Patterns establish themselves. Steer clear from the actions that typically lead down a bad path.

Cancer ( June 22- July 22): Spatial balance is a key to beauty in many art forms, including relationships. Seek the optimal spacing.

Leo ( July 23- Aug. 22): Whether it’s a seduction to get you to buy a product, join a group or be personally enticed, you’re no easy mark. You want the truth more than the seduction.

Virgo ( Aug. 23- Sept. 22): Many only want the highest good for all when it’s also what their ego wants. Not you. Your intent is pure.

Libra ( Sept. 23- Oct. 23): Emotions could cause you to improperly or unhelpfully magnify or minimize things. The perspective of outsiders will be valuable.

Scorpio ( Oct. 24- Nov. 21): Ask yourself why you’re holding on to something. If fear is the only thing holding you back, remind yourself that change is the only inevitable constant of life.

Sagittarius ( Nov. 22Dec. 21): Being attached to the appearance of things will hold you back from knowing the real essence of them.

Capricorn ( Dec. 22- Jan. 19): You’re happy to be the witness, not the judge. Even seemingly innocuous opinions could have an unintended inf luence.

Aquarius ( Jan. 20- Feb. 18): You’ll be like the moon, inf luencing from afar, not having to force or even touch anything to affect it.

Pisces ( Feb. 19- March 20): You’re mild- mannered when that’s what’s appropriate, but there will be brief moments when intense emotions will help you go at your purpose harder.

Today’s birthday ( April 30): You’re so excellent at giving your focused attention, respect and love to those around you. You’ll be a central f igure in many people’s lives. May represents a fun inf lux of resources. A gamble pays off in July. Though you have no f ixed plan, you’ll arrive in October at a place many work for years to get to. Gemini and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 49, 5, 22, 13 and 45.
