Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, April 3, 2012: Curb a tendency to focus on petty issues and to get caught up in them. Use your ability of critical discernment to improve the quality of your work, writing, projects and interactions. If single, you could meet someone with ease after spring. If attached, do not criticize your sweetie. You simply are in an overly critical phase. Virgo can work well with your creative needs. A baby born today has a sun in Aries and a moon in Leo if born before 6:53 a.m. After that time, the moon will be in Virgo.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • Curb your desire to prove yourself through finances and concrete results. Once in a while, with certain interpersonal relationships, this aspiration can only help.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • You might have difficulty understanding some of the basics surrounding an important issue. If you detach, you will grasp the implications of a potential decision.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • Venus moves into your sign and graces you with gentleness and a newfound glow. These traits will stay with you for a little while.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • • Express yourself clearly. You might notice that someone can be hurtful. It is more likely that you are oversensitive to this type of behavior.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • A friend is a source of good news. Do not allow yourself to take a risk, even if this person believes it is a sure bet. Confusion surrounds finances and joint partnerships.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • • • You become revitalized. A boss or parent will notice your vibrancy. When asked if you want to join a common cause or project, don’t hesitate, but discuss where you might be reticent.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • You wake up with a strong game plan, only to see it quickly dissolve. This encourages you to demonstrate flexibility and consideration for others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • • • You have been very aware of the politics of a decision. At this point, you decide which way to go – the winning side. A partner chimes in with agreement.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • You might try to understand what someone is really saying, or the reasoning behind his or her statements. Think positively.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • • Think much and say little. You might be making too big a deal about a situation or conversation. Pull back and see what evolves.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • Deal directly with someone regarding an issue that involves you. You could see many issues arise that you thought were settled. Use caution if money is involved.

PISCES (Feb. 21-March 20) • • • • Others seem to need you, whether it is your feedback, moral support or simply an offer to pitch in. When you feel overwhelmed, say “no.”
