Happy birthday for Sunday, April 2, 2023. With the weekend coming to a close, we may be ready to wind down, too. The day gets off to a slow start, giving us the chance to catch up to ourselves after a busy week. With Monday fast approaching, this is a great day to run errands, tend to chores around the house, and get ourselves prepared for the week ahead. With health and wellness also being highlighted today, it’s an optimal time for meal planning, attending a fitness class, visiting an aesthetician, or engaging in overall self-care. Doing something caring for those we love is also advised.

ARIES: (March 21 to April 19)

If you’re feeling stuck or moody, sometimes tending to the most basic tasks, like cleaning, organising or caring for your body, can help get you out of a funk.

TAURUS: (April 20 to May 20)

There’s no need to make any hard and fast plans or commitments, because it’s one of those go-with-the-flow kind of days for you.

GEMINI: (May 21 to June 20)

It might be time to devise a plan for raising your rates or asking for a raise. On a separate topic, prioritise time with your loved ones today.

CANCER: (June 21 to July 22)

Try not to spend too much time overthinking and worrying about the future. Stay focused on what you can do right now.

LEO: (July 23 to Aug 22)

Avoid making an impulse buy or leaning too heavily on the buy-now, pay-later apps. If you’re not buying something you really need, it’s worth it to wait.

VIRGO: (Aug 23 to Sept 22)

If you can get someone to help you so that you can have a little more “me time” or peace of mind, do it.

LIBRA: (Sept 23 to Oct 22)

It’s possible that you’re feeling like you’re not moving fast enough in reaching your goals. You’re moving along just fine. Just look at how far you’ve already come.

SCORPIO: (Oct 23 to Nov 21)

If you’ve been feeling like life has become a little dull or monotonous, maybe it’s time for an adventure, a change of scenery or some new friendships.

SAGITTARIUS: (Nov 22 to Dec 21)

Be mindful of putting more on your shoulders than what’s necessary. You must respect your own boundaries.

CAPRICORN: (Dec 22 to Jan 19)

You’re encouraged to be a bit more open-minded. You might encounter someone today who has something cool or valuable to teach you.

AQUARIUS: (Jan 20 to Feb 18)

If you’re ready to make a lifestyle change or just adopt some better habits, it’s an ideal time to start.

PISCES: (Feb 19 to March 20)

It’s OK to tell people “no” if your bandwidth is low or you’re just not interested.

FOR TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

You’re committed, disciplined and ambitious. You don’t shy away from hard work, and you don’t rush the process either. You take great care with all you do. You’re patient, pragmatic and efficient. You care about quality and substance more than anything. You’re dependable and supportive, and people trust you. There are times where you may need to be a little more flexible or go with the flow, but your ability to think ahead means that you’re always prepared. This year calls on you to simplify your life. It’s time to clear out clutter or unnecessary distractions.
