A baby born today has a Sun and Moon in Aries.

Happy birthday for Saturday April 14, 2018:
This year you work with unusually high and directed energy. Focus some of this energy on work and/or outside commitments. You could have an even shorter fuse than usual, if you are not careful. Maintain a routine stress-buster to help your self-control. If you are single, you will meet someone in the second half of your birthday year who has a vitality that intrigues you. If you are attached, give your significant other more of your time. Make sure you include this person in your adventures. A fellow ARIES easily could butt heads with you!

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)

Opportunities pop up from out of nowhere. An offer is likely to cause some disruption in your life, should you choose to accept it. Know that you can’t go back to where you were if you do decide to pursue it. Make sure your actions are thought through. Tonight: Visit with a friend.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Don’t allow a tense situation to drag you down. You will be on cruise control, but at a certain point you might find that your world is not as bright as it was before. Don’t worry — you know what to do. Your perception lightens up the mood. Tonight: Use timing to your advantage.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Emphasize what is going on around you. Friends demonstrate their caring in many different ways. Some of them verbalize their feelings; others offer tokens of affection. Be aware that several people might ignore you, too. Let it all wash right over you. Tonight: Out late.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Others remain highly responsive to your ideas and leadership. Brainstorm with your inner circle, and note how they listen to what you have to say. Show them the same courtesy, and you will find a novel way of handling a problem. Tonight: Give up your routine for now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You wake up feeling strong and focused. You know what you want, but you might not be sure how to pursue it. You have cohorts you can brainstorm with; why not tap into their energy and imaginations? They may have solutions that you don’t see. Tonight: Be a little wild.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

One-on-one relating keeps you on top of your game. You have a lot to share with a key friend. You might be surprised by his or her ideas. You open up to a new beginning involving a relationship. Do not reveal too much too fast. Time is your ally. Tonight: Paint the town red.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You want to move in a new direction. You are trying your best to figure out how to discuss this change with a close group of friends. Communication soars, which gives you the energy and drive you need to do whatever you want. Try not to wear yourself out! Tonight: Accept an offer.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might be in the mood to get into a last-minute project, but your mind could drift to other topics. Double-check your work to make sure that you have made no mistakes. Make a note of a fleeting thought, rather than explore it immediately. Tonight: Invite friends over.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Impulsiveness marks your day. Use care with money; avoid taking any risks, if possible. You could be stressed out because you have a vision of what you want, and going for it could destroy it. Understand that change is necessary. Tonight: Out and about with a loved one.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You could be too tired to deal with a family member who is on the warpath. Change your outlook and take a power nap before having a serious discussion. You might be disappointed by what occurs. Honor your ideas, and express your ingenuity. Tonight: Invite friends over.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You can be reserved at times and a blabbermouth at other times. Imagine trying to have a discussion with yourself, then act accordingly. Deal with some suppressed anger or frustration. Understand that excess of any kind could be a problem. Tonight: Relax with your best friend.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Be aware of your finances. Could there be a liability somewhere, or are you more prone to fraud or error than you realize? Your mind is working overtime. You have the power to carry out a goal or desire. Discover the power of positive thinking. Tonight: Dinner at a favorite spot.
