Flo Higgins' Skywatch: Horoscopes for the Week of April 5 – 12, 2012

677

By Flo Higgins

Outgoing, full of energy and in need of plenty of action describes the Aries born this week. No matter what they undertake from birth to death Aries does it with plenty of vim and vigor.
An Aries is a born leader. They will lead no matter where they are or what they are doing. This fire sign will take over whether it is on the home front, the battlefield or the business world. They will make it known they are in charge.
They will have the loudest voice, the greatest commands or the strongest arms – whatever is necessary to show they are in charge.
Their energy is unstoppable, their manner is usually loud and their love of all things under their control never stops. Aries ruled by Mars can accomplish things the rest of us call impossible.
People born this week: Michele Bachman, April 6, 1956; Francis Coppola, April 7, 1939; Julian Lennon, April 8, 1963; Jackie Evancho, April 9, 2000; Haley Joel Osment, April 10, 1988; Ethel Kennedy, April 11, 1928; Vince Gill, April 12, 1957.
Emotions will calm down and life will get back to an even mark for most of us as the full moon for April passes on Friday. Mercury is direct and we all can start projects that have been on hold for a while.
Mars remains in Virgo allowing some Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius and Pisces people to really be up in arms as they face the energy of Mars.
Jeremy Lin, the new Knicks basketball star will be out for some time because of a knee injury. A Virgo, Lin will be out of commission for at least six weeks.
Katie Couric, a Capricorn, was back on early morning TV this week on “Good Morning America” and not to be beat in the ratings Katie’s old TV home, “The Today Show” had Sarah Palin, an Aquarian, sitting in to attract some viewers.
Katie has a good chance since she is a pro, plus she has Jupiter trining her sun.
Aries (March 21 to April 20) The jolly changes Uranus can bring into your life is now facing a few people who celebrate their birthdays this week.
