Horoscope: April 29

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Complex challenges abound, and you know better than to believe in a one-solution-fits-all scenario. You'll take each one as it comes and carefully sort everything out. This is how you become someone's hero.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Believing in yourself is beside the point today. You just have to get in there and do the job. Having done something is the best evidence that it can be done again.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You want to perfect your skills before you jump into the ring "for real," but "for real" will happen sooner than you think. There won't be time for perfection, but there will be time to get good enough.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your choices will affect people, a responsibility you don't take lightly. You keep thinking about what would be the best option for everyone involved. You'll go far with this intention.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You're not enjoying yourself as much as you could be. Relieve the pressure. Can you shake it off? Can someone take it for you? Figure out what needs to happen to lighten your load.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). New on the scene, you'll respectfully fit into a situation and fulfill the needs of those who are already established. You can always show off later if you want, but there's no benefit to doing so today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Run your plan by a few people before you give it a whirl. Pay especially close attention to the response of your water-sign friends: Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. They may even have some eerily psychic advice.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You may be afraid that if you're not tough on yourself you'll go soft. But there are benefits to loosening your grip on the controls. For starters, less stress equals better health.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). For now, be open-minded and investigate options you might not have considered before. You think you want freedom, but you'll thrive in a highly structured environment and enjoy it thoroughly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). New ventures always come with a certain amount of chaos, and today's amount will feel just right: enough to keep you excited but not enough to overwhelm you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When you feel the rub between you and a certain someone, don't take it as a sign that the relationship is doomed. The opposite may be true. You can't polish a jewel without friction.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You'll act first, and if there is to be any support for your actions, it will come only after your plan is already in motion. Then you'll have to re-evaluate to decide whether you still want the support.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 29). A hobby or talent will take focus in May, connecting you with opportunities for growth and change. You may even move to take advantage of an opportunity. June will be a celebration of love. Younger people and teammates will make you proud. Dealings in July set you up for a November victory. Capricorn and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 3, 14, 37 and 45.
