HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): The surface qualities of the offerings set before you belie their substance. Shiny options could provide a quick hit of glee followed by nothing, whereas duller options will sustain you for years.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You have excellent ideas, though it’s not quite time to implement them. You’ll do very well to follow the initiative of another.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Feelings count for something, not everything. Consider the data. Then you’ll have two things to go by.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): A long day feels longer if it feels like what you’re doing is not recognized or appreciated. Praise fuels the mission — at least in part. Get yours.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The things and people you love aren’t getting enough of your attention right now.

Duty calls. Make a plan so the future can bring more of your favorite experiences.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ve done enough research. Time to act. The first step is hardest because it relies on its own momentum.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You don’t want to be the emotional support. You want the situation to be fair and balanced enough for all to support themselves. This will require a restructuring.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Regrets? Don’t worry. In an alternate reality, there you are, enjoying the other thing and — bonus — dealing with different (and equal!) problems than you have now.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): It’s challenging to see your own patterns, which is what makes it a worthy exercise. What have you said 100 times before? What do you keep wishing you had?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Don’t wait for permission. You have the power to do the thing you’ve been wanting to do. What it takes is steady training over time.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): This is no time to insist on your way. There are many directions from which to come at life. Start there.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You know you deserve to be happy, so you seek situations with potential for lowkey good vibes.

Today’s birthday (April 13): You’ve grown to such ability that an insurmountable barrier to your dream has turned into a block you can easily hop over. You’ll assist up-and-comers and derive satisfaction from teaching. Relationships require social and emotional courage, and the risks prove worthy. Gemini and Aquarius adore you. Lucky numbers: 40, 1, 12, 28, 13.
