Born today, you are continually getting caught up in things that take on vast importance either for you alone, for all those involved with you or perhaps even for the world at large -- and you wouldn’t have it any other way. You are quite adept at thinking your way through the most difficult of situations and to doing what is necessary to solve the problems that arise daily along the way. You are serious and hardworking, and yet you know the value of taking time for yourself when you are in need of any kind of refueling. You consider your personal energy to be your single most important resource, both physically and mentally.
You are known for your ability to go the distance, and your tenacity and patience are such that you can deal with all manner of frustrations and setbacks without so much as a dent to your overall enthusiasm.

FRIDAY, APRIL 12
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Any discoveries you make today will be all the more valuable if you share them with someone close to you -- and the sooner, the better!
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You know what you’re after, and you understand the effort required, but you can afford to give yourself at least a very small break today.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You can get someone’s attention the usual way, or you can surprise everyone by doing something that is outside your comfort zone. Try it!
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You are eager to present your ideas to those who can possibly finance your coming efforts, but jumping the gun will prove counterproductive.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You can participate in someone else’s efforts to put an end to certain bad habits. You may even learn something about yourself in the process.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Information is likely to come your way very quickly, and you must take the time you need to sort the wheat from the chaff. Don’t be rushed!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You’re in the process of determining where your next efforts can possibly lead you. Any experimentation you do today can yield valuable data.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You must be willing to let others know what it is you’re after -- especially if you expect them to lend a hand. Be clear and thorough.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Something someone else does today is likely to capture your attention -- and your imagination. It’s something you’ll want to try, too!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can fire up another’s imagination and benefit indirectly from what happens as a result. You can call the shots very soon.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You will have to sort through many personal issues today before you realize what is most important for you to address with those around you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You’re the only one who knows how to keep things from blowing out of proportion today, and you may have to do so more than once. Be ready.
