Daily Horoscopes for Friday 1 Apr 2011_Cape Breton Island

ARIES

(Mar. 21- April 20)
Small business ventures can earn you extra cash. Losses are evident. Be careful not to misplace your wallet or belongings.

 

TAURUS
(Apr. 21- may 21)
  You will find that unfinished projects at home will be most satisfying. You will easily capture the interest of those you talk to. You would be best to work late in order to avoid such disharmony.

 GEMINI
(May 22-June 21)
  Moves or the possibility of having someone different living with you may be difficult at first. Use discretion in your dealings and refrain from making verbal promises of any kind. Remember; talk to them, not at them.

 CANCER
(June 22-July 22)
  Be aware of any deception on the part of those you deal with. You need to take a break with the ones you love. You need to start planning that vacation.

 LEO
(July 23-Aug 22)
  Get involved in volunteer work that will bring you satisfaction, not an empty wallet. Do your job and then spend some time with family; you’ll be glad you did. You’ll look guilty if you don’t lay your cards on the table.

 VIRGO
(Aug. 23 -Sept. 23)
  Be cautious and use your head wisely in situations that deal with the use of machinery or vehicles. You can enjoy entertainment if you join in and follow the crowd for a change. Be aware that you don’t get anything for nothing.

 LIBRA
(Sept. 24 -Oct. 23)
  Do not let in-laws upset you. You can learn from those who have had similar experiences. This will be a very hectic day if you’ve made promises to too many people.

SCORPIO
(Oct. 24 – Nov. 22)
  Opportunities for partnerships are present; but get every detail in writing. Reevaluate your position and make decisions about your future goals. Luck is with you, regardless of the financial venture.

 SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 23 -Dec. 21)
  You can beautify your surroundings by renovating or redecorating. Money problems will be difficult to deal with if you have a partner. Elders may get you going today.

 CAPRICORN
(Dec 22.- Jan. 20)
  Don’t be too eager to cut those who have disappointed you from your life. You must act quickly. You can make moves, but they won’t be settling.

AQUARIUS
(Jan. 21 -Feb. 19)
  Your ability to do detailed work will dazzle those who are less creative. Proceed with caution if operating equipment or vehicles. Romantic relationships could be under pressure.

 PISCES
(Feb. 20-Mar. 20)

  Don’t use the interstate as a racetrack. Changes at home might come fast and furious. Moneymaking opportunities will surface.
