HOROSCOPE
JACQUELINE BIGAR

FORECAST FOR SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 2008

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You are a power among your immediate friends right now. Act like one, and you might be amazed at what you can bypass. Is a family member a touch irritated? You can change that too if you don a smile. Tonight: As you like.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Speaking your mind might not always be your style. Much is going on behind the scenes. You could take matters or statements the wrong way and overreact. Yes, you are sensitive, and perhaps overly so. Know when to back off. Tonight: Do your thing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Reach out for someone you care about. You might want to look at your desires. Investigate what you want with an eye to bringing friends together. Stay goal-directed. Know what you want, and you'll get there. Tonight: A new friend could arrive on the scene.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Take a chance and make a statement. Others can only say yes or no. Bolster yourself and get past fear or a need to have agreement. You might be surprised at what a softer, more caring attitude draws. Tonight: A must appearance.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Reach out for those at a distance. On the same level, reach out for different types of thinking. You could be self-destructive if you're not careful. What are you going to do with anger or frustration? Consider options openly. Tonight: In the whirlwind of living.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Work with others more directly, and you'll see what you might not have before. A friendship could develop to a new plateau, if you allow. A male friend could be more of an irritant than a plus. Think positively. Tonight: Say yes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Others suddenly see you in a new light. You also might not want to push too hard. An authority figure is demanding, but a different approach might be more effective. Someone is so caring, you could be taken aback. Tonight: Yes is the only way.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Do rather than indulge this morning. You can accomplish an amazing amount, though somehow you could also include plans for a retreat or vacation. Someone might be pushing you harder than you would like. Tonight: Take it easy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Allow your imagination to let loose. You will find that when challenged, the natural solution brews forward. How nice is that? You often feel pressured to produce more than need be. This is your natural self. Tonight: Share more.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You come from a place of centering or understanding. Investigate options that surround your personal or family life. If you want to move forward, do just that. You might be overwhelmed by a partner and his or her mood. Tonight: You don't have to go far.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Make calls. Return messages as quickly as possible. Above all, do not forget to make some great plans for this afternoon. Information comes in your direction. Recognizing an opportunity is easy; jumping on it could be another story. Tonight: Talk up a storm.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Impulsiveness earmarks your decisions, especially when wanting to please someone. You might want to rethink an attitude or try something differently. Use care if a risk is implied. Understand the ramifications more clearly. Do more than in the past. Tonight: Make no quick decisions.
