Horoscope

Week Of April 9, 2023

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20

Aries, your emotions may cloud your judgement in the days to come. It’s better to seek the advice of a third party who can guide you without the added drama.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21

Messages from the universe could come across as confusing or vague, Taurus. You might need someone with cosmic intuition to help you sort out what is going on.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21

A stagnant energy has been surrounding you lately, Gemini. Fortunately, you are able to brush that away soon enough and feel rejuvenated.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22

Cancer, if you haven’t devoted enough time lately to taking care of yourself you might awaken this week with a foggy head. Take care of yourself.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23

Responsibilities could have you feeling overburdened, Leo. The trick is to ask others to lighten your load. There are bound to be several volunteers willing to lend a hand.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22

Virgo, try not to compare yourself to others this week. Everyone is unique, with his or her own strengths and weaknesses. An unfair comparison could dampen your spirits.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23

You might find it challenging to articulate your feelings to a romantic partner, Libra. If you stumble over saying the words, why not write them down, instead?

Buckle down and focus on the details. Have someone check that everything is perfect.

Shootout

CONTINUED FROM 1 years, I have complete confidence in the ability of our judicial system to handle this matter appropriately.”

The juror also wrote in the letter that an assistant district attorney spoke with the grand jury at least twice off the record, telling them “he wanted to finish on a specific day” but that they shouldn’t “feel rushed.”

“On one occasion, the ADA suggested coming in on a Friday to get done, and the jury foreman objected forcefully saying ‘I have a job,’” the juror wrote. “All of this put undue pressure on us to come to a decision.”

The juror claimed they now have trouble sleeping over the matter and concluded, “I feel ashamed that we did not do our job properly after hearing all the testimony.”
