HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, April 23, 2017:

This year you often hold back and don’t say what’s on your mind. Other times, you are quick to gab and tell it like it is. This back-andforth tends to make those around you uncomfortable, as they aren’t sure which facet of your personality will greet them. Hopefully, they will learn to adjust. If you are single, you could meet someone any time after summer who could be Mr. or Ms. Right. Take your time getting to know this person. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy letting go and being silly together. Make your sweetie a high priority. You often wonder what ARIES really wants from you.
