Happy birthday for Wednesday April 11, 2018:
This year you will want more time to think through problems. You seem to become a more active reader than you have been in the recent past. You will review certain long-term goals. If you are single, your quirky behavior draws many potential suitors to you. Keep an open mind as you sort through the possibilities. If you are attached, the two of you often opt to take off for a day trip somewhere. As a couple, you enjoy your friends and many of their interests. PISCES always responds with possibilities.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Use the daylight hours for getting through your to-do list. By midafternoon, a low-level fatigue is likely to overcome you. In any case, you will not be very productive later in the day. You will need extra time to reflect on certain key issues. Tonight: Not to be found.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Stay on top of a personal matter. You might not be able to make a strong decision at the moment, as other matters are occupying your time. You could feel as if someone expects you to handle a personal situation immediately. Make it OK to say “no.” Tonight: Find your friends.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You are able to grasp the bottom line of a problem faster than others can. You could be slow to gain the agreement you want and need. Share more of what you desire. Friends seem more tuned in to you than ever before. Tonight: Take charge, and help others make plans.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

One-on-one relating elicits strong results. You might not be sure what to do with the information you receive. Be sensitive to the possibilities, but do not overthink your recent conversation. Know that you may not like what you hear. Tonight: Dance to a different tune.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You have so much on your mind that it seems as if you’re not able to squeeze in some fun. Touch base with a friend in the morning. You have a tendency to let one idea trigger another idea as you open up to different types of thinking. A partner will offer to help. Tonight: As you like it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Dive into the morning with the hope of getting more done than you originally had thought possible. You are likely to clear out enough work to be able to accept an invitation from a friend. You might want to give some consideration to what is happening. Tonight: Wrap up a project.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Let the softer side of your personality emerge. Clear up a problem before it becomes even bigger. Focus on each item or issue as it comes forward. You don’t want anything to backfire on you. Go along with a fast change instead of questioning it. Tonight: Opt for togetherness.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

No one doubts your creativity and enthusiasm. Reach out to a new friend who serves as a muse. This person inspires you to dream and to act on your dreams. Listen to your inner voice when dealing with a child. Allow your sense of humor to emerge. Tonight: Add some romance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Situations arise that could affect your personal life. Make an effort to take the lead quickly. You will notice how easy it is to let the other party think that he or she has control, when really you are the one running the show. Know what you want. Tonight: Be subtle, if possible.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Stay on top of your to-do list. Someone might surprise you. Keep smiling, and stay up-to-date with what is happening. Fatigue could play a role in your plans. Know your limits. Speak your mind, and allow others to internalize what is happening. Tonight: Take a midweek break.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You are full of offbeat ideas, which seem to fall into place without much thought. You finally will be able to connect with a friend. Jump over any obstacles that come your way. You know what works and what is not working. Tonight: Be more direct, and act as you feel.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might opt to stay hush-hush about a matter that others can be heard whispering about. Still, you could have a difficult time not saying what you are thinking. Know that more information is coming your way. Use caution with spending. Tonight: Let the fun begin!
