For Friday, April 5:

This year you make it a point to express your feelings more often — especially your friendly, more positive ones. Others respond in kind, and they will have an easier time relating to you as a result. If you are single, you’ll do well in just about any circumstance. If you are attached, your openness will encourage greater closeness.

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)

•••• Let your weekend plans float around in your mind as much as you’d like. Take off to visit some friends, or plan a get-together in the near future. Tonight: Where the gang is.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

••• You might be left trying to tie up the loose ends of a situation. You might not know why this is the case, but you do know what to do. Tonight: A must appearance.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

•••• Keep reaching out to others. You’ll want to get the lay of the land before you commit to anything. Tonight: Take off ASAP.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

•••• Relate on an individual basis, and let others know why they are important to you. Sometimes you assume that others just know. Tonight: Togetherness is the theme.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

•••• Others seem to be in control right now. You can carry on all you want, but either go along with someone else’s plans or make your own. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

••• Defer to someone else in order to lighten your workload. Confusion surrounds a personal situation. Tonight: Visit with a dear friend.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

•••• You can’t suppress your playfulness — even if you should change your mind or decide to do something differently. Someone clearly is on your side, but he or she still might give you some flak. Tonight: TGIF.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

••• Stay centered, and recognize when enough is enough. You know far more than what you are sharing. Tonight: At home.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

•••• You might want to complete a conversation, but interruptions could leave you feeling frustrated. Try this conversation on a Monday or Tuesday — not on a Friday. Tonight: Express your liveliness.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

••• Be aware of the cost of proceeding as you are. If you are investing in real estate, the superficial costs have nothing to do with reality. Tonight: Time for a treat.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

•••• Listen to your imagination, and follow through on an idea that seems a little offbeat. You’ll get your point across while still being able to express your caring. Tonight: Lighten up the moment.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

••• Avoid getting into today’s confusion; otherwise, your feelings easily could be hurt. Listen to a friend who shares a secret of sorts. Tonight: Join friends.
