THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 2024
Born today, you are nothing if not quirky, and you know it – and with a little maturity, you will develop fine ways of exploiting it as fully as possible. When you were young, you may well have equated quirky with being simply strange and unconventional, but simply being so for the sake of it really doesn’t get you anything – does it? Later in life, certainly, you came to understand how being just a little bit off center in certain ways could prove a major boon to you and your allies in almost all things.
Your life is surely not going to be free of trouble in any significant sense, and you must be ready to face difficulties just as you must be prepared to jump at the many opportunities that are sure to come your way. Let things take you too much by surprise and you’re sure to stumble, and if you fall, the cost may be quite severe.
Also born on this date are: Robert Downey Jr., actor; Heath Ledger, actor; Maya Angelou, poet; Anthony Perkins, actor; Muddy Waters, musician; Craig T. Nelson, actor; Nancy McKeon, actress; Christine Lahti, actress; Barry Pepper, actor.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You may stumble on the right thing to do today, but you’re not likely to get results until you actually do it. The idea is not enough!
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You may be able to assist someone else with something you’ve long thought was impossible – but teamwork can work wonders today.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You may think that a getaway of sorts is required, but no challenge is likely to be that bad! Take the time to shape a clear rebuttal.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) An ounce of prevention is certainly worth a pound of cure, now and always, but is such prevention something you can actually provide today?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Listen to what others tell you today and learn from it what you can – but don’t think for a moment that your plans have to change as a result.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) What you want to do today may be contrary to another’s desires, but is that really your problem? In some ways yes, and in some ways no.

CAPRICORN(Dec.22-Jan.19) A complex financial matter may take up more of your time than you thought you had available today. You want to find a lasting solution.
AQUARIUS(Jan.20-Feb.18) You’re the one that others are likely to rely on to solve a problem that simply hasn’t gone away. Your expertise is indeed what’s needed.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You’re not likely to endanger yourself today by wearing your heart on your sleeve, but you must take care not to embarrass others.
