Horoscopes: Sunday, April 14, 2024

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Expect to meet a variety of responses to the change you propose. Some will embrace your ideas; others will dig in their heels, daring you to try different persuasion. Maybe they secretly want to see how powerful you are.       

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You can’t act on the intuition you never heard. It’s possible that your signal-to-noise ratio is off. A few hours of undistracted solitude will reset you and clear any interference in your personal communication system.       

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The people who bring you joy and the people who bring you stress are one in the same now. The effort you put into making relationships good is a big part of what endears you to others.       

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Any goal, relationship, hobby or interest that doesn’t fit the patterns and rhythms of your lifestyle won’t last. One side of the equation will have to change to make it work. So which do you want more, the goal or your current lifestyle?       

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll let a trusted someone lead you through strange territory, but you won’t let yourself get too comfortable there. You know the difference between a reasonably secure situation and a false sense of security.       

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your brand of sunshine is unique. Sometimes it shows itself in a dry humor, and other times it’s merely a vibe — a presence that communicates warmth and trustworthiness that people want to be near.       

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Events occurred that you thought you should have a reaction to, and yet somehow you’re still not sure what to take away. The feelings are there, but they are hibernating and will awaken at the perfect time for you to get to know them.       

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You can really hold people’s attention now, partly because you’re respectful of it. You don’t overpromise and you don’t bore. You know what’s in it for others and make sure to deliver on their expectation, with a twist.       

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you can’t trust your own instincts, whose can you trust? Essentially, trust is just a prediction about what’s likely to happen. The way to get better at predicting is to witness and participate in more happenings.       

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s tempting to slam the door on ideas that don’t fit neatly into your worldview, but one of those misfits holds the key to your success. A new presence knocks, needing no arrangement, only acceptance. Welcome its unbidden charm into your orbit.       

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll be cooking up dreams. Give in to your passions. They’re the yeast that makes your vision rise. And when you encounter your feisty obstacle, just remember, even the sweetest cake needs a dash of salt.       

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If they have to persuade you to do something, it’s probably not for you. Go with your initial feelings of attraction or disinterest. You’ll save everyone time and energy by saying “no” before they start their pitch.       

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 14). A year featuring your profound, mysterious influence and all the benefits that befall the well-earned trust of your peers. Loved ones spoil you, surprise you and make you proud. More highlights: Financial flourishing, a vitality-enhancing lifestyle change, and a season spent practicing and then playing many rounds of a grand game, followed by a straightforward victory. Cancer and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 8, 10, 18 and 40.
