HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, April 8, 2010: This year, often you will choose to be with your friends. You also could become far more civic-minded and get involved in an important cause. Be careful not to spread yourself too thin. Learn to be more frugal than in the past. If single, a new relationship could come through a friend. If attached, the two of you need to have a solid friendship as well. You can count on Aquarius.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) •••• Aries generally is directed, but today you will tend to linger and overindulge. You wonder what is going on. Perhaps you need to take a break. Do something just for you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ••• Be aware of your efforts to court the boss’s or someone else’s favor. Is it worth it? Be willing to nix a new project, or at least your involvement in it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ••••• Seek out new perspectives and knowledge. Your instincts tell you one thing, and reality tells you something different. Share your thoughts.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) ••••• A partner goes out of his or her way to help you, especially with a public or community matter. Be happy for the support and caring.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) •••• You could be overwhelmed by a boss and his or her efforts. Accept the compliments. A key friend, family member or loved one brings you important information.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) •••• Tension builds wherever you are. The only way to dissipate some of this energy is to detach. Focus on what you must do.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) •••• Partners, associates and friends all want command of the ship. Let them have it, while you go off and do something you really enjoy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ••• If you can continue working from home, do. You could be overwhelmed by everything that is on your plate.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ••••• You have to field more than your share of calls and requests, and a meeting could be exhausting. Your creativity helps cut through the fat and get down to brass tacks.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) •••• You might be shooting yourself in the foot if you continue to go for a risk. Use your funds to build greater stability, or plug some money into your home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) •••• You could feel drained by a family member or domestic situation. Know when you can do nothing more, and go about your day.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) •••• How you handle a close friend and the choices you make come from within. Treat people as you would like to be treated, and see how easy it can be.
