For Thursday, April 16:

This year, you need to be more aware of your image and the direction of your career. You have worked long and hard to achieve what you have during the past few years. If you are single, you could meet someone because of your visibility. If you are attached, open up different avenues of communication. Accept feedback, and share more of your fears. Capricorn tosses you into the limelight.
