HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, April 25, 2016: This year, focus on your strengths, knowing what needs to happen. You have a friend who often misrepresents situations. Confirm his or her information. Others express so much energy and vitality, especially when it comes to being with you. You have many choices to make if you are single. You could find dating exhausting, as you often have difficulty choosing which person to relate to. Trust that you will know the right person when he or she appears. If you are attached, accept this person for who he or she is, and try to understand what motivates this person. The qualities that might not please you make up the person you love.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You might be surrounded by an element of confusion, as someone switches mental stations on you. You can adapt, but this person might really act and feel as if he or she is off the wall. Refuse to get angry, and simply state what is going on in a key matter. Tonight: You might have difficulty gaining a perspective.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): A close interaction between you and another person could make you feel uncomfortable. You might not be sure you will get what you want. Friends could be getting another impression, but it’s what you feel that counts. Don’t underestimate your ingenuity in a tight spot. Tonight: Listen to a loved one’s opinion.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Defer to another person, though on some level you might not be sure that this person’s interest is the same as yours. A sense of direction and knowing what you want helps you through a problem. Defer to a roommate or loved one who is close. Tonight: Do some wish fulfilment.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Pace yourself. You have a lot of ground to cover. You know when you have had enough of all the talk and swapping of ideas. Your interest is to get to the bottom of a problem and, if possible, eliminate it. Recognise you might need to break from this conversation after a while. Tonight: Curl up with a game or a good book.

LEO (July 23-Aug 22): You could hear another person share his or her feelings. You could be confused by a partner. Excess could mark spending right now. Expect ramifications, even if it might be someone else’s upset. A child or younger friend could become ornery. Tonight: Slow down and don’t have any expectations.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sept 22): You might be coming from a different space, where you need to look at a situation from a different point of view than your own. What is great is that you realise your vision is limited simply by your experience, and one can always open up. Tonight. Try for a quiet night at home.

LIBRA (Sept 23-Oct 22): Conversation happens easily, though you might be confused by what another person might share. You could have difficulty making a decision, but you don’t need to come to a final conclusion just yet. Trust your inner thoughts about a daily matter. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov 21): You could be quite exhausted from dealing with another person’s needs and qualms. Your lack of patience comes out when dealing with a younger person or loved one. Try not to misdirect your feelings. A friend pitches in, making your day a lot easier. Tonight: Order in.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You feel as if you’re finally in your element and not easily distracted. You know what is expected and what you want to do with a touchy situation.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): You might be well advised to stay mum and not share everything you know with another person. Fatigue marks a decision, no matter how you look at a personal matter. Pull back in the midst of confusion and you will hear many different versions of what has happened. Tonight: Feel free to refuse calls.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): Expect some hoopla around a friendship and what his person is doing. One-on-one relating with this person proves insightful and points to a new direction. Fatigue or irritation could become an issue if you keep having to wade through the same misunderstanding. Tonight: Where people are.

PISCES (Feb 19-March 20): You could be in a situation where you are not sure what is best, yet you must take the lead. Get as much feedback as possible. If need be, slow down and don’t make any impulsive decisions. Don’t be too serious. Opportunities surround a dear friend or loved one. Tonight: Could go to the wee hours.
