WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 2025

Embrace this year with enthusiasm and passion. Choose to be a participant rather than a bystander. Refuse to be a victim or attach yourself to something you don’t enjoy or a lifestyle that leaves you feeling cheated. Choose to take responsibility for your happiness.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Make a to-do list and embark on taking care of business and freeing up time to nurture yourself and meaningful relationships. Refuse to let anyone exploit you or bait you into a no-win situation.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Do the groundwork and avoid conflict. Today, take time to prepare and look out for yourself. Refuse to let the changes others make confuse you or disrupt your agenda.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Stop talking and start doing. Your words will have no merit if you are all talk and no play. Obliterate bad habits and replace them with proper diet, exercise and a positive attitude.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Refuse to get upset over nothing. If you don’t like what’s happening, do something about it. Complaining won’t help, but actions and enforcing the changes that can improve your life will.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Detail, precision and a modest budget will produce positive results. Refuse to let anyone talk you into overdoing it or overspending. Question and verify the information you receive.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): It’s best to get approval to avoid bailouts or setbacks. Stick to facts and question any information you receive. It’s nice to give a picturesque adaptation, but don’t promise the impossible.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22): Take time to acquaint yourself with interesting people. Focus your energy on lively discussions. Getting closer to someone who can assist you will encourage a joint venture.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21): Note how others react. Address problems and discrepancies. What you see and what someone is telling you may differ. A financial gain is apparent, but so is overspending. Easy come, easy go.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Keep personal information to yourself. Someone will twist your words or mislead you if you aren’t specific. Establishing how you feel and what you want is in your best interest.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19): Concentrate on your health and well-being. Protect your reputation and keep your thoughts to yourself. Update your skills to ensure you can keep up in a competitive market.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20): Cap your spending, simplify your life and eliminate things you no longer need, want or use. Rethink what brings you joy and take responsibility for your happiness.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Look for alternatives when facing negativity. A backup plan will offer peace of mind and ensure you won’t lose time or damage your reputation. Patience, precision and a positive attitude are necessary.
