There are some difficult things about life that don’t get easier; they just get different. Try to get comfortable with the situation. This will have nothing to do with acquiring resourc- es and everything to do with acceptance. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s so much entertainment in the playground of your mind that you may be content to stay in and enjoy your mental process. Howev- er, push yourself to go out — you’ll have more fun. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Be care- ful how you lay out your opinions. When you describe things, you create an idea of them in the minds of others, and that will strongly influence what happens next. CANCER (June 22-July 22). This isn’t always the case, but in today’s scenario, your tremendous expectations of people will contribute favorably to the outcome. You’ll choose your associates well, and they will rise to the occasion you picture. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have to own something before you can give it away. Today this is also true of happiness. Be happy in yourself first, and then you’ll be able to make someone else happy. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Stop judg- ing yourself so harshly. You may think it’s keeping you to a higher standard, but it’s not. Being mean inside your head won’t help. Would you say those things to any- one else you love? LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Uncomfort- able feelings are part of the survival in- stinct package you were given when you were born.

Filtered through the lens of negative thoughts, your environment won’t look as chock-full of opportunity as it really is. Shake it off so you can see possibilities. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Looking busy is better than idleness on display; however, you prefer to actually do something useful. Useful activities create a circuit that brings the energy you ex- pend right back to you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You can’t do anything about your starting position today, but you can pick up from wherever that is and move consistently forward. Keep your eye on the destination. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The idea you abandoned many moons ago can still be revived. It was a good idea then, and the new twist you’ll think of could make it even better. Brainstorm with a Libra or Leo. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Love isn’t going to sneak up and surprise you today, but if you make an effort to create playful communication and a tender dynamic, you might be favorably impressed by what develops out of the effort. THURSDAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 9). Get into the game. You’ll be a contender in a highly competitive arena you nev- er thought you’d be competing in. May brings triumph for your family. Relation- ships require more of your attention in June, and love intensifies as you explore shared interests (especially music) with someone. Aquarius and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 44, 39, 17 and 42.
