Horoscope for April 1, 2010

Aries (March 21-April 19): Your loved one treats you fine, though you wouldn’t mind being absolutely cherished, either.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Trying to push people to want things they don’t want is just silly. Relax. Free your mind to imagine a new way.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): When you retreat, it’s not out of weakness, but intelligence. You walk away when things aren’t feeling right to you.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Distant, lofty goals inspire you. But you need something more immediate to aim for today.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): When you reflect on your life, it’s the adventures you will remember. Start planning another such adventure now.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You could use a fun release -- for instance, faux shopping on the Internet. You can fill your virtual cart with whatever your heart desires.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): There is a person who has become a little too comfortable with your laid-back style. This one will behave better after you deliver your wake-up call.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Maybe you think things aren’t happening fast enough, but you are right where you should be.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You don’t have to be anything other than who you are. It will be a great relief to acknowledge human fallibility and accept your own.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You need a lot less than you think. Pare down. Get rid of 10 unnecessary items.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll be drawn to the mysterious and clandestine. You might enjoy cultivating an alter ego.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Things will go much better if you have some kind of a blueprint from the start. Take the time to map out your main objectives.

Today’s birthday (April 1): May brings a financial boost. In June, you’ll work toward professional mastery. Challenges stimulate your creativity. September brings better things. Your lucky numbers are 48, 2, 52, 14 and 9.
