WEDNESDAY, APRIL 17, 2024
Born today, you are always thinking about ways to parlay what you have into something more – and more often than not, you are successful not only in coming up with the means to do just that, but the method as well, and the result is almost always a clear success. To say that you are acquisitive is an understatement; you want things, you go after things and you are always sorely disappointed when you come up short -- which isn’t very often, however.
You are keenly interested in what goes on in the world, day in and day out, locally, nationally and internationally. Indeed, the progress of the world at large – where it’s been, where it’s heading and why – is something you are deeply concerned about, and you play close attention to all developments, large and small, that have the potential to change the course of history.
Also born on this date are: Victoria Beckham, singer; Jennifer Garner, actress; Sean Bean, actor; Olivia Hussey, actress; Luke Mitchell, actor; Rooney Mara, actress; William Holden, actor; John Pierpont Morgan, entrepreneur; Thornton Wilder, playwright.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You are eager to look into a new opportunity today, but the first thing you’re likely to learn is that it is anything but fresh and new.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You may be affected indirectly today by something to which you thought you were immune. You may soon move in a new direction as a result.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You can make arrangements for others far more easily than you can for yourself – but why? Something inside is holding you back for the moment.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) It’s a good day to look back and assess past performances, and to ensure that you have what it takes to continue along your current lines.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Whether you are spending more time than money, or more money than time, you must ensure that you have plenty of both when facing a key decision.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Check in with those who have been close to you in the past to see if there isn’t something you continue to overlook. Honest talk is key.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You may find yourself traveling a much farther distance today than originally anticipated – but one of the reasons is personal choice.
SCOPRIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Information you’ve gathered recently can begin to garner you very specific gains. Take care that you aren’t misreading key signs.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You may have trouble believing what is right in front of your face today, but later, experiences will likely prove it all in retrospect.
CAPRICORN(Dec.22-Jan.19) While others are more concerned with how something looks, you’re more interested in what’s beneath the surface, despite the optics.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You may get right to the heart of a key issue today, but why are you able to when no one else has been before? You know, but you’ll never tell!
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You may come under the spell of someone whose motives are suspect. Take care that you don’t let yourself be led down the primrose path.
