Horoscope
Friday, April 5
Happy Birthday: Emotions will flare up easily, leaving you at a loss this year if you don’t use charm, strategy and intelligence in order to keep the peace and wheedle your way to getting what you want. Opportunity is within reach as long as you are willing to give an inch and negotiate with finesse.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Listen, but don’t reveal how you feel or what you think. Your power will come from knowledge, not from offering too much personal information. Don’t be fooled by someone who makes you an offer that is impractical.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Catch up. Take care of unfinished projects you’ve been putting off. Put your energy to good use in order to avoid getting into a scrappy situation that is likely to unfold should you have too much idle time.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Look for a straightforward approach to getting what you want. If you aren’t prepared, you’ll end up in a precarious position. Too much of anything will backfire, costing you physically, mentally or financially.
CANCER (June 21July 22): Don’t let the small stuff get to you. Concentrate on creativity, using your imagination and making the most of the relationships that are important to you. Keep your life simple, and don’t complicate matters by sharing too much or being indulgent.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Channel your energy. Don’t let someone sidetrack you into putting your time and effort into something that will benefit him or her instead of you. Know what you want, stay focused and don’t stop until you reach your goal.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Question everything and everyone. Get to the bottom of any situation you face by going directly to the source. Partnerships are what you make of them. Strive for equality and much will be accomplished.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Keep busy. If you have too much time on your hands, emotional issues will surface that will cause havoc at home. Activities that help ease anxiety and stress will alleviate pressure.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ve got plenty going for you. Take a leap forward and pay attention to how you can use your talents skillfully. Changes at home and between you and the friends and people you love most will give you a brighter outlook.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Trust and believe in yourself. If you waffle or think that someone knows more, you will end up being taken advantage of when you should be doing your own thing and expanding your interests.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Change begins within. It doesn’t matter what others do; what matters is how you conduct your life and the way you go about getting what you want. Use your imagination. Be innovative to reach your goal.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Take the initiative to do things your way. Making changes at home that are geared toward family fun or starting a creative project will get you moving in the right direction. Personal improvements will build greater confidence.
PISCES (Feb. 19March 20): Think before taking action. If you are too aggressive, it may lead to injury or insult. You’ll accomplish the most if you use your intelligence, intuition and ability to earn the support of people who have something you want in return.
