Horoscope: April 3

Aries (March 21-April 19): Whether packing for a trip, going to the store or navigating the business world, make a checklist.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): If you’re fumbling around for what you want to say, speak from your heart – you’ll be right on message.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): A new path, dance, date or door beckons, “Try me.” Why wait for a reason to do what you’ve never done before?

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Your love-lure is the food you make – or order – and the comfortable environment you choose to share in.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Let your people know that it’s safe to disagree with you, and encourage them to tell you what they think.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You know how to inspire and when to get out of the way of that inspiration. Give someone a problem and then walk away while it’s worked out.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): The person who does everything right seems somehow less appealing than the one who’s not as good at showing affection.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): It’s not your job to fix anyone but yourself. Probably everything is in precisely the perfect place; you just don’t know it.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Instead of looking for someone special, look for something special in everyone you meet.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It comes to you in the morning – the thing you will need to do if you are to grow.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If you forget where you set down your keys or the name of the person you were just introduced to, forgive yourself.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Around certain people, it may seem appropriate to crack a joke at your own expense. But it’s better to refer to yourself in only positive terms or say nothing.

Today’s birthday (April 3): This year your relationships are like rare gems, and they definitely become more valuable. Make the effort to attend the landmark events in the lives of loved ones, even if it requires costly travel. You’ll be happy you did. June brings the start of a new business and/or income source. Sagittarius and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are 10, 24, 30, 26 and 15.
