College students seem to have a reliance on caffeine to get them through lectures and late night study sessions, but there are healthier alternatives to power through the day.

Horoscope: April 1, 2019

A baby born today has a Sun in Aries and a Moon in Capricorn until 10:40 a.m., when the Moon enters Aquarius.

Happy birthday for Monday April 1, 2019:
This year you will notice that your temper could flare easily. You also drive yourself to achieve way beyond your normal level. You might be delighted by some of your achievements, while others might surprise you. If single, others find you most appealing, although your hot temper might frighten them at times. When you are hurt, try speaking before you get too angry. If attached, tune in to your feelings. You might discover that you and your sweetie do not agree on a major goal. Respect your differences. Act like an AQUARIAN. Be a friend, too.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult


ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You might need to slow down. An unexpected development could add an element of confusion. Work with the trend, rather than fight it. You might not realize how angry you are about a key issue. Tonight: With a favorite person.


TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Be more direct when speaking to someone at a distance. You care a lot about this person. The more direct you are, the more satisfying the interaction will be. A friend confuses the line between your friendship and another issue. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.


GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Forge a new path. With a new direction comes unusual, sudden insights that normally would not be so easily accessed. When you experience such openness, you cannot help but grow. Tonight: Let your imagination lead.


CANCER (June 21-July 22)

One-on-one discussions could be more important than you think. Be the first to head in a specific direction — something you have been trying to avoid! A boss or higher-up could play a significant role. Tonight: Don’t fight city hall!


LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

In the a.m. you have an urge to clear out a lot of work. You will do just that. However, you could become more aware of someone who seems to appear from nowhere. You feel as if you have no choice but to get to know this person better. Tonight: Intriguing times.


VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your creativity surges the moment you open your eyes. Why not be spontaneous and follow one of the suggestions in your head? The end results could open you up to an activity that you might want to pursue daily. Tonight: Know when to call it a night!


LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You cannot hold yourself back, nor do you want to. Let your interest in the process open you up to many new ideas. In hindsight, you will be delighted by this period and what happened. A partner or close friend reacts most unexpectedly. Tonight: With a favorite person.


SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You could become more agitated than you think. Sit back and approach a situation differently. If angry, find out what is ailing you and work through it with a partner or dear friend. Tonight: Happiest at home.


SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Make the first move. You will be much happier that way. The other party might be difficult at first. You will witness a change quickly enough. A problem takes a quirky overtone. Tonight: Making the most out of every moment.


CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might be correctly under the impression that others are demanding they take the lead. You need to be very strong to handle the pressure. Go with the flow rather than be upset. In the long run, that attitude works better. Tonight: Use caution with your spending.


AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You could experience quite a sudden mood change. How you see a personal matter will transform things for the better. Trust your leadership skills to speak for themselves. Tonight: As you wish.


PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You suddenly might feel tired or need some time for reflection. Take it, as you will need it. You will want to take your time contemplating the impact of a realization. Use caution handling money. Tonight: You pull the wild card — anything can happen, especially around money.
