For Monday, April 10

Those with birthdays today: Never accept that anything is written in stone this year. If you do, you could see situations, events and agreements fall apart. By being flexible, you will be much happier. Focus on your daily life and your health habits. You could push someone away or be hard on him or her. Remember what is ultimately important as you design the quality of your life. If you are single, you will meet someone through your day-to-day travels. Fall and winter 2006 could be unusually romantic. If you are attached, nurture rather than react. VIRGO can be a good partner.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

The unexpected punctuates your responses. You will want to maintain a strong hand in your plans. Take a step forward, and a partner will step up to the plate and help you. Easy does it. Tonight: Work as late as need be.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Sometimes others get in your way; though, in a sense, because of their intervention, positive happenings head your way. Drop the word “no” from your vocabulary. Tonight: Let your ingenuity cook up your plans.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

As you might figure, you have too much on your plate. If you think before you leap into action, you’ll feel much better. Others need your strong intellect and planning skills. Tonight: In a whirlwind.

You say and do way too much. What you find is that plans and situations are subject to lightning bolts, which not only illuminate a question but also encourage some major changes. Tonight: Stay in control.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Get a better grasp and stronger control of your finances. Knowing when to say enough or no can make or break your financial security and emotional happiness. Tonight: Gather your bills.

You are in prime shape, ready to get everything done as quickly as possible. Though you might be a bit uncomfortable, you trigger a lot of actions. Be aware of the waves that you send out. Tonight: What would please you?

Know when to pull back and vanish. Your nerves might be fried from a lack of sleep or a need to change your lifestyle. You can no longer say no to the inevitable. Tonight: Get some extra rest.

You might have way too much ground to cover, and way too quickly at that. Even if you are a bit tired, you will discover that a lot falls into place. Know when to say no. Tonight: Swap war stories of the weekend.

You might find plans very difficult, as someone – which, incidentally, could be you – could be changing plans left and right. Stability might need to be achieved if you want a more professional image. Tonight: Work late.

It behooves you to take an overview, to see events and people with a better perspective. If what occurs around you jolts you, take another look. You are missing something. Tonight: Take a mental break. Go for a drive.

Working with one other person could prove to be mighty expensive if you aren’t careful. Work as a team, not as adversaries. You’ll get a lot done quickly if you simply relax. Tonight: Accept someone else’s praise.

Others might rule with an iron fist, causing you to be highly reactive. How smart is that? Stay on top of what must be done and know for the moment that you might need to defer to others. Tonight: The only answer is yes.
