Horoscope: April 11

Aries (March 21-April 19): Things on your “someday I’ll get around to it” list need to be moved over to your “do today” list.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You’ve suffered a few setbacks in the past, and these are the same events that gave you the edge you have now. Reflection brings new insight.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Information is power. What one person calls “gossip” you call “being aware of your surroundings.” So shake a few trees to find out what’s really going on.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): It would be nice if you could make your goal in the first or second shot. It probably won’t go that way today, but never stop trying.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The world is loaded with opportunities just waiting to be seized. You’ll wield your optimism like a weapon, cutting down the defenses of the gatekeepers who stand between you and your desire.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Instead of riding on a vague notion that something needs to be done, figure out what it is and how to do it.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Participate in games -- it will help you stay sharp. Compete whenever the opportunity arises. But do so in the spirit of fun.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Obstacles in your path will make things more interesting. You’ll have to stretch, think and assert yourself in order to get past them, but you won’t mind a bit.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Loved ones want to go where you go because they know that wherever that is it’s where the fun will be.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll be energized by the same challenges that once stopped you. You’re learning to stop taking things personally and seriously -- and your game just keeps on improving.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll be at your best when you genuinely feel you don’t need to impress anyone. People you know well and see often will make comfortable companions.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll focus on your loved ones’ needs, connect with them on deep levels and understand how to make them happy. No wonder others are so loyal to you.

Today’s birthday (April 11): You’re so endearing to others that you should mention what you want often -- if people can help you get it, they will. Over the next 10 weeks, one successful person in particular will be more than pleased to help you become successful too. Your lucky numbers are 8, 27, 43, 31 and 17.
