For Sunday, April 12:

This year will affect your ability to understand others as well as deal with your professional life. New perspectives come through new people and new situations. Willingly grow and absorb. The more you drop your blinders, the better and happier you will be. If you are single and you would like a romantic commitment, you will have some interesting people in your life to choose from. If you are attached, a trip to a very different place could open many doors for you as a couple. Capricorn will push you hard.

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)

•••• Expect a change of course. What you thought were delightful plans could be canceled. Be careful with your words, as sometimes you can be blunt. Reach out for someone at a distance or escape to a movie. Tonight: Good times.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

••••• Enjoy each moment. Recognize a possible need to be with your thoughts and one other person midafternoon. Reveal the depth of your feelings and thoughts. Others can respond to that side of you. Tonight: Don’t try to escape from a one-on-one chat!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

••••• Work with what gets dropped in your lap. What comes out of this attitude might be surprising. Flow rather than fight city hall. A partner will feel more relaxed as a result. Tonight: Say yes.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

•••• If you need special time with a child or loved one, make it your immediate priority. Plans can change. A friend could push you very hard. Understand that in this case, this person has only good intentions. Tonight: Make it an early night.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

•••• How you deal with someone in the a.m. could be totally different in the p.m. First, center yourself and realize that actions draw reactions. There are many ways to talk and share with people. Sometimes a different style proves to be effective. Tonight: Forget tomorrow; live today.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

••• Talk before hurt or frustration builds. Trust that on some level people are not trying to hurt or irritate you. They are just being themselves. Make plans that allow you to stay close to home. Tonight: Just don’t overdo it. If you are tired, say so.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

•••• Deal with an errand or must-do early in order to open up the rest of the day. You will feel freer and far happier later on. Understanding limits could be important with a problem person. Be willing to grow and learn. Tonight: Out and about. Visit. Flirt. Live.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

••••• Go and do what you want, even if others might not like your plans. They are your plans, not theirs. Note the start of a tendency to look for different types of activities. You are changing. You are growing. Tonight: Be imaginative.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

••• Take a slow morning if you would like to. Determine what you really want to do. Act accordingly. Every so often, a little self-indulgence is necessary — make it a point right now. You will be in a better frame of mind. Tonight: Go for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

••• Tune in to yourself and what you want. Key plans and get-togethers are best scheduled early. In the afternoon, indulge yourself. You give so much that sometimes you deplete yourself. Stop. Regroup. Make yourself No. 1 — at least for today. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

•••• Check in with an older relative or friend. Though sometimes you might think doing this is a drag, it really isn’t. This person has a lot to offer. Besides, he or she has several, if not quite a few, years on you. Learn from this person rather than experience it yourself. It is easier that way. Tonight: Now for you …

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

•••• Reach out and grab someone you care about. Give up standing on ceremony, and another person just might return the favor. Break barriers rather than create them. Recognize the role pride might play in relationships. Tonight: Aim for happiness.
