Horoscopes: Saturday, April 8, 2023

ARIES (March 21-April 19). No amount of riches, talent or attractiveness can make a person immune to relationship woes. At some point, every human on Earth struggles with the art of getting along. Keeping your interpersonal skills sharp makes your life easier on every level.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s no reason to change yourself to be accepted by all, since that tactic never works. It robs people of the chance to get to know the real you, which, even if they don’t agree with, they are far more likely to trust.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). People around you try to predict your moves and figure out your thinking, but they’ll have little luck. You keep your cards close to the vest for a reason. You’re more powerful when they can’t anticipate you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Self-doubt can sneak up on you. Remind yourself of what you’ve already done. Any achievement shows you built the habits and gained the knowledge necessary to create or master something and are thereby capable of further accomplishment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll spend a good deal of time working on one problem, but don’t expect to find one answer. This is the sort of quandary that touches on many topics. Though it can never be fully known, many other things will be learned in its pursuit.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s your choice which ideas to keep and which to let go of. This may not make an immediate difference in the events of the day, but it will change how you empowered you feel, and that will eventually change everything.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). However often you give your heart, the vulnerability in this action is still scary. You never know how a relationship will come together or how it will unravel. Still, it’s better to have loved.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re constantly doing estimable things. Living up to your own expectations has become so automatic that you don’t even think about it. It’s only when you spend a day relaxing that you realize how hard you regularly drive yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re in a different place in your life than those around you, so you can learn from one another. It’s useful to share knowledge and skills, your manner of being and your heart. It’s useless to share opinions or advice.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may feel unprepared, but there is no way to get prepared for some things. Therefore, you’re as prepared as anyone ever could be. This is a case when it’s better to go in without preconceived notions. Embody hopeful naivete.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Maybe there was nothing inherently wrong with what happened up to this point, but because you didn’t get the intended results, you’ll go back and do things differently. When you don’t like the outcome, it only makes sense to change up what led to it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Emotional intimacy is frightening because it inevitably leads to being partly responsible for another person’s emotional well-being and to allowing them to be partly responsible for yours. You know the risk and you take it anyway. Love is brave.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 8). Welcome to your year of opportunity overflowing. You’ll seize the job others are afraid to take on and be rewarded with money and an expertise that garners you much respect. More highlights: a beautiful puzzle of a relationship that comes together in a delightful picture, lessons and a stint before an audience, and an unforgettable party involving multiple generations. Leo and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 11, 14, 28, 31 and 17.
