April 8, 2009

Today's birthday (April 8). You've learned to get by on your own. This year, expand your influence. Become a manager. That skill expands your prospects enormously. What's more, it's fun.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Today is an 8. An expert can help you solve the mystery, finally. Ask around and you'll find the perfect person for the job.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): 6. The work's intense, and there will be changes. You're making a good impression with what you're doing on people who matter.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): 8. You're in a good position to get what you want. Avoid a conflict by taking the long way around. Approach the problem from a different perspective and it'll be easier.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): 5. Don't annoy a person who simply wants to be obeyed. Leave that fight for later, when you'll have a better chance of being heard.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): 8. Do the reading and you'll find out how to argue this case. Once you decide on your conclusion, you can find the facts to back it up.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): 6. Check under the couch cushions for change. Search the newspaper ads for coupons. Be frugal or you'll spend more than you save.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): 9. You can overcome any difficulty when motivated by true love. That's especially true for you, for whom partners are so important.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): 6. You're well known for your ability to keep a secret. You treasure information. It's valuable.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): 8. Even some of the more obscure theories seem workable now. Are they? Start with the ones you're more certain about. You can fill in the blanks as you go along.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): 6. What do people want? If you can provide enough things on that list, you'll never go hungry.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): 8. Your actions have long-range consequences, as you may already know. Simply proceed as if everything you do is important.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): 5. With an experienced coach, you can safely maneuver a maze of contradictory information. Whom should you trust? Someone who's been there and done this before is nearby.
