STAR TRACK
Aries (March 21-April 19)
This is, indeed, a time of opportunity and good times. However, you
also tend to harbor unrealistic hopes, exaggerate the possibilities, and lack a sense of
realism. If things seem to be running smoothly around you, they are, so let them.
Disappointment in a friend or lover and possibly the realization that you have been
neglecting your own needs for socializing, affection, and companionship is indicated
today. In either case, loneliness and feelings of desolation could be the mood.
Perhaps you are sacrificing pleasure and love for the sake of achievements or to
meet responsibilities.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
If someone is talking behind your back, now is the time to find out
about it and take appropriate steps to deflect it. Conversely, it’s a time you can unearth
some of your own best kept secrets you might have forgotten about and clear the air.
Your needs for love, companionship, friendship, and sharing are very strong now, and
you won’t want to be alone at home or work. In fact, you feel like relaxing and enjoying
the beautiful side of life rather than laboring or concentrating on mundane tasks. A significant
development in a close relationship or strong feelings of attraction to someone
you encounter, are very likely at this time.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This is a favorable time to socialize with people you have professional
ties with, as the positive feelings you generate now are likely to be an aid to you in the
future. Beautifying the place where you interface with the public and an increased concern
about your own physical appearance are also brought out now. You could become
more emotionally at this time, especially about people with a strong attachment from
your past. You care more passionately and respond instinctively and emotionally to
whatever happens to you at this time. Also, you are energized and invigorated now and
eager to be involved in projects that benefit your children, family, or home.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You have a low tolerance for boredom and following rules today and
you make some creative changes and discoveries, experiment with new possibilities, or
invent a new way of doing things. Take advantage of any unusual offers or opportunities.
Put your intuitive feelers out there before you jump in or commit to anyone right now or
you might run into a cold reception. People taking themselves too seriously are probable
today, so try not to be one of them. Take it all with the idea and respect that others may
be having problems.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
This is a good time to let your relax and play a bit, try to do this on your
own initiative and enjoy before someone else pushes you into it. Let the urge carry you,
as tight schedules can get too compromised if you fight it. Rest and relaxation is not just
time off, its renewal and refreshing your mental capability to keep it together later on.
Matters of the heart are on your mind and you may want to play match maker now,
maybe even for yourself. This is a very good time to go to a social gathering or somewhere
you can interact with others that you might have something in common with,
don’t stay home and let this energy pass you by!
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
You are very bold and adventurous right now and you cannot tolerate
delays, restrictions, or any form of authority that prevents you from behaving exactly as
you please. Your drive for personal freedom and insistence on your rights is pressing, and
a confrontation in which you have to stand up for yourself is likely. If you are a normally
shy person, well it’s time to get some courage up and step out into the bright lights in
any of your most intimate relationships. This isn’t a time to think you don’t deserve everything
you’re little heart desires, quite the opposite in fact. YOU DO deserve everything
your heart desires so speak up!

Libra (September 23-October 22)
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, 2013
Conflicts and confrontations may be unavoidable, but do try to avoid
situations which you know will provoke or irritate you. Working alone is best at this time.
At this time you must guard against being too aggressive, coming on too strong, or trying
to force your own will and thereby arousing hostility in others. Also, frustrated desires
and obstacles to achieving your aims can evoke enormous anger in you, and you may do
something rash and regrettable. Special attention to and from a partner is what you
should be trying for today, and flattery will get you everywhere if you use it with that fine
skill you have worked on for some time. Set aside some private time so no one else can
get in the way of the feelings you want to share.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
You may have to deal with one annoying individual who could
appear to be looking for an argument today. The best approach is to avoid confrontation
while resolutely staying your current course. Because you are not
feeling very obliging or compromising, this is not a good time to try to come to
an agreement with someone you are close to. However, you need to get your
grievances out in the open before the tension builds up to an unmanageable
level.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
It may seem that circumstances, other people, or the whole world is
against you today! You could feel overwhelmed by demands, outside pressures, or your
responsibilities and you are looking at your life with serious doubt or pessimism. Others
don’t seem to help, even if they try to; solitary activity or reflection is called for now. A
friend or lover may come to mean everything to you at this time. Romance and other
things that tug at your emotions come your way as a new cycle begins. This is a creative
period for you, a time to take a chance, a time to be appreciated and admired and to take
some risks.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
Others may find you especially witty and eccentric just now. You
may have insights or breakthroughs in regard to your living situation or life circumstances.
Others value you for your independence and unique qualities. It’s
nice to be appreciated isn’t it. Dreams, wishes, and fantasies about love are
strong now, and you may be infatuated with someone you meet at this time,
who knows they could be the one, but be careful your own expectations aren’t
so high you end up disappointed later.
Aquarius (January 20- February 18)
If recently the same problem has come up without any resolution,
today could involve you getting to the nitty gritty of the issue. Resolution
of this problem may clear bad feelings and bring you closer to someone. You
may be forced to put something on hold for a while. Giving is a wonderful quality,
but receiving is important too. This is a time when having your needs take
the forefront is in order. Don’t allow yourself to be just the provider of comfort
and affection today. Let others dote on you, and show you the affection you
truly deserve.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
Impatience with colleagues or people in authority could work against
you today, so steer clear of over-reacting or trying to get things entirely your own way.
You draw the line with a professional in association with a legal or monetary situation.
Love blooms even further at the restaurant or cinema. Secrets may come to light that
leave you perplexed and upset. Issues you thought long resolved are likely to come to
the surface once more. An honest talk with those involved is the only way to put these
persistent problems to rest once and for all. Apologies, forgiveness, and understanding
will be necessary from both sides of these slights.
