Horoscopes: April 10, 2013

ARIES (March 21-April 19). When you want the work to go quickly, it seems to thicken on purpose. Once the work sees that you're willing to slog it out, it will take pity on you and let up.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You'll get an interesting quality of attention as you present yourself in a way that is slightly different from what you would normally choose. This is only the beginning of your next evolution.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You'll be challenged to articulate your needs and wants in a way that someone very different from you can understand. It won't be easy, but if anyone can do it, Gemini, you can.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The best thing you could do in a tense situation is relax. Others will breathe easier when they sense that you are doing the same. If you can't relax, at least pretend that you're relaxed.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your intellectual gifts will be featured. New information, books and teachers will all be available to you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are trustworthy, loyal and resourceful. You may even consider these strengths to be boring. But they are not.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You cannot empower another person, because it's really up to him or her to step into the position. You can, however, provide a smooth ramp to the power spot.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People will try to connect with you by throwing out interesting things for you to latch on to. But you're not in the mood to be reeled in.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If only you were free to express your unique perspective. Wait! You are!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your style is changing. The in-between times when you know you can't stay where you are but you don't yet know where to go are the most awkward. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It's nice when you get recognized by someone you admire. Such a greeting may bring you back to that schoolgirl/schoolboy crush kind of feeling today.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). They won't understand you - and so what? Thankfully, the rules that govern your self-esteem do not mandate that you must be understood at all times.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 10). You are passionate, creative and committed to what you believe in. These qualities lead you to surprising connections, and you'll get to see parts of the world that few people have witnessed. June features strange occurrences that will go down in your personal history. In August, you'll shine in a public forum. Cancer and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 14, 33, 25 and 13.
