For Tuesday, April 9:

This year others find you to be exceptionally creative and a source of many new ideas, and they often seek you out for help. Your efforts are, and will be, more valued than you realize. If you are single, you open up to new possibilities. If you are attached, honor the fact that it takes two to form and carry on a relationship.
