Horoscopes: Friday, April 07, 2023

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Today’s organization will lead to tomorrow’s action. Make your list. Even if you don’t cross anything off it yet, just having the organizational tool will ensure that eventually your efforts will add up to something satisfyingly substantial.       

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The best way to get the job done is through teamwork. It will involve some amount of taking turns. But if you’re constantly having to dim your light so another person can shine, you might be in the wrong constellation.       

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s hardly a situation that can’t be improved by a dose of levity. Playfulness counteracts stress and keeps you healthy for the challenges ahead. Spend time with goofballs, sillies and children of all ages.       

CANCER (June 22-July 22). What’s the difference between a shelter and a cage? Access to an unlocked door. You’ll check for such a door. Maybe you don’t want to use it, but knowing it’s there is the difference between feeling protected and being kept.       

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People often blame others for qualities they notice and dislike in themselves, which is why people rarely look powerful while calling out an accusation. While there are certainly instances that call for justice, many minor infringements are best ignored.       

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Consider why you feel the need to take control of the situation. Does it actually require your intervention or are you trying to prove something? Could it go safely on without you? Is it worth your attention? These are all questions only you can answer.   

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll labor on. Some admire you for your work ethic. Others sympathize, as it seems you do more than your fair share. If they knew the satisfaction you found in your work, they would be jealous.       

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s flattering when someone wants you all to themselves, but you’ll be happier when you give your attention to many. So, avoid social monopolies and be as inclusive as possible. Collect friends and influences. You’ll learn best from a diverse group. 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll get in touch with your own preferences. Taste is knowing what you like and why. The “why” part helps you find more to fit the criteria, which adds up to not only having taste, but also having style.       

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You care about what your friend cares about. Maybe you have no genuine interest beyond the fact that it matters to your friend; this is what selfless support looks like. Don’t just give it; make sure you get it, too.       

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You sense things and pretend you didn’t. It’s often the polite and gentle thing to do. Feelings are a kind of territory. It takes experience, maturity and a lot of paying attention to honor invisible boundaries. Good for you.       

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Though you often know the right thing to say in a moment, you more often recognize where the silence goes. You’re not afraid to let the pause linger. There’s power in space. Without it there is no resonance, no ringing, no echo.       

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 7). Carefree moments will be sprinkled like an exciting spice over your year, enough to sparkle up the flavor without changing the dish. You’ll often be around people you genuinely care about and your leadership qualities flow. You’re constantly making things better for others. More highlights: You’ll learn from the ideal role model. A financial restructuring has you living with more ease. You’ll fit right in with a talented group and create something beautiful together. Taurus and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 7, 12, 10 and 30.
