For week of April 15

ARIES: Mar 21/Apr 20

Aries, once you have your mind set on something, it is hard to get you to think about anything else. This dedication can be an asset at work but might also hinder relationships.

TAURUS: Apr 21/May 21

Taurus, you’re in good spirits this week and it could be because you received some good news that provides you with extra energy. Get tasks done and then have fun.

GEMINI: May 22/Jun 21

Gemini, it may be time for a change of scenery, especially if you feel like you need recharging. Browse available travel deals and you can probably find something affordable.

CANCER: Jun 22/Jul 22

Cancer, accept help when it is offered. Doing so will reduce stress and put you in a better frame of mind. Someone close to you has a proposition.

LEO: Jul 23/Aug 23

Leo, though you often enjoy being the center of attention, there are many times — like this week — when you simply thrive being able to recuperate out of the limelight.

VIRGO: Aug 24/Sept 22

Virgo, when an opportunity presents itself, jump on it without delay. This could be the break you’re looking for, so don’t pass up the opportunity to get on board.

LIBRA: Sept 23/Oct 23

Libra, pick your battles and recognize that there are certain things that you just can’t change. It may prove frustrating, but that’s the way it is.

SCORPIO: Oct 24/Nov 22

Scorpio, sometimes the best way to help someone is to leave them to their own devices. This week you’ll adopt this approach, and it will work out for the best.

SAGITTARIUS: Nov 23/Dec 21

Sagittarius, there is conflict at home, you must help reduce the tension. It may take some time, but use this week to lay the ground work.

CAPRICORN: Dec 22/Jan 20

Capricorn, with so much change in the air, you may want to shout it from the hills. However, it may be wise to keep things hushhush for a while until it’s all worked out.

AQUARIUS: Jan 21/Feb 18

Aquarius, there’s no time like the present to do a self-analysis and take the steps to change something that has been on your mind. You’ll have the support of family.

PISCES: Feb 19/Mar 20

Pisces, positive thinking can often help you overcome obstacles, but so can simply taking some action. Expect good news this week.
