HOROSCOPE

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, April 2, 2018:

This year you often seem resistant to new ideas and experiences. As a result, you tend to say “no” to new adventures. Don’t worry; this phase is only temporary. You will put a lot of time and energy into improving communication. If you are single, you suddenly could meet someone without even trying. The person you meet after summer will hold the strongest potential for an excellent relationship. If you are attached, you and your significant other will try to come to terms with new ideas and styles. You both have strong ideas. SCORPIO emphasizes the importance of comfort on all levels.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

as you are most relaxed there. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
