Horoscope: April 3

Aries (March 21-April 19): You’ll have help and support, but you have to ask for it. Complaining won’t fix the situation. Come up with solutions. Get creative.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): To advance, you may have to first defend your position. Take stock of your assets so you can use what you have and get what you need.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You won’t make a move until you are sure. But once you are, you will completely commit and direct others with certainty.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You are compassionate, warm and empathic. You can display these loving qualities and still have boundaries. You’ll prevent someone from taking advantage of you today by doing just that.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll enter a new arena. Remain approachable, interested in others and positively oriented.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): As it is with a great recipe, if even one element is missing, the results will suffer. You are the ingredient that cannot go missing today.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You will be compelled to clean up your environment, whether this is really your responsibility or not. This hard work helps your image.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): There is a reason that the memorable people in your life have made such an impression. You’ll follow suit and create a lasting memory in the mind of others.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll be in a position of leadership. Communication errors abound now, so keep your messages simple. Direct others with short, to-the-point instruction.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You will bring substance to your endeavors, and you will let that speak louder than words ever could.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You will show your generosity in the way you compliment, encourage and attend to others. This will make more of a difference in the world than a financial contribution.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Make sure that all of your helpers are recognized, preferably in public. Words spoken before a group or printed in a public forum will have deep emotional impact.

Today’s birthday (April 3): Your admirers will shower you with gifts. The hard work you’ll do over the next five weeks will earn you well-deserved applause. Cancer and Sagittarius people are your fans. Your lucky numbers are 30, 12, 2, 49 and 18.
