Horoscopes

For Thursday, April 6

Those with birthdays today: You have what it takes to create what you want. Often, you are overly serious and uptight, especially with a child or a creative product. Knowing when and how to loosen up could be very helpful this year. You probably feel the weight of your responsibilities more than in most years. You will also meet them with your strong sense of duty. If you are single, a romance can turn sour, but this type of experience will be less likely after the fall, when you blossom and open up. If you are attached, the two of you might be looking at a new addition to the family if at the right stage in life. LEO knows what he or she wants.
