Horoscope: April 12

Aries (March 21-April 19): You know you’re lucky, but you don’t always feel that way. Someone in dire straits helps you look at your own life differently.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): An enjoyable healthy habit is quickly becoming part of your regular routine. Soon this will be so ingrained that it will be an essential part of who you are.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Though you have plenty of energy, you are better off when you conserve it. Feeling bad about the things you can’t change is a waste.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You won’t be accused of being shy or subtle today. Your blunt approach will work best on those who are, like you, too busy to do things any other way.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): There’s new territory to explore in a relationship. You may stumble through this experience, which is to be expected when you venture out of your element.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You could do without other people’s observations on your life. Don’t invite comment.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): If love is a battlefield, your battle has begun. It’s like you’re joining arms against the monstrous complexities of modern romance.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Your life sparkles when you encourage others to be resourceful and creative. Set basic rules for your family or group.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may be subconsciously working for the approval of the person in charge. Remember that you are the ultimate boss in this endeavor.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Always being the one who has to come up with the plan is not so fun. This time you’ll sit back and let others rise to the occasion.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll have to work harder to find something to relay that is not based on the sad state of things or a complaint therein.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You portray yourself like a character in a musical, causing all who witness your theatrics to tap their toes to your uplifting song.

Today’s birthday (April 12): You’ll have all the necessary ingredients for a balanced and happy life. The next six weeks bring you in touch with your natural gifts. You will be an agent of healing in several instances. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 20, 4, 39 and 17.
