HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, April 27, 2017:

This year you have unusual powers of persuasion. Others will find it difficult to say “no” to you. Don’t push people to agree with you; just be yourself. Your magnetism soars as well. If you are single, you will want an equal, not a subservient sweetie. You are likely to meet someone special during the colder weather months. If you are attached, you finally are able to realize a long-term goal through the efforts of your significant other. A major purchase in the fall is likely to add to the quality of your life together. GEMINI can talk you to death.

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)

★★★ Juggling your finances will take skill. No matter what, you will achieve your goals. Dealing with an authority figure will be easy, because you know what you are doing. You might need to listen to what others need as well. Tonight: Make some calls about the coming weekend.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★★★ You are running on high and might be unstoppable. Of course, if those around you knew you better, they would know exactly what to do to slow you down. Information comes forward that changes your viewpoint and encourages you to look at a decision differently. Tonight: Out.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★ You might be out of sorts and not as sure of yourself as you’d like to be. When you open up and get feedback, you will hear otherwise. Not until later will you be able to integrate what you have heard. Try to postpone an important decision you need to make. Tonight: Nap, then decide.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★★ Meetings with others will be extremely enjoyable. You might find that this happy quality could interfere with a business matter. Try to contain yourself, if possible. Reach out to friends, and schedule a get-together for later in the day. Tonight: Do whatever seems natural.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★ Those around you trust your judgment. You might change your mind about one particular situation, and as a result, you could see others’ impressions of you change as well. Someone else could offer a different perspective. Tonight: Accept a friend’s last-minute invitation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★★ Your creative process forces you to look at a personal matter differently. You open up to a new idea that feels so much more comfortable. Do not deny yourself of an opportunity, even if some risk involved. Tonight: Be naughty; add mischief.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★ You might have overstated a situation and will need to pull back and listen to the other side. You and the other party both can be a bit dramatic, but coming to a mutual understanding will be less difficult than expected. Tonight: Listen to your favorite music.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★★ Others continue to dominate plans, and you’ll be content to go with the flow. As a result, several people might assume that you are a “yes” person. You just choose to go along with whatever feels right, and you also don’t want to deal with any flak. Tonight: Accept an offer.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★★★ You could have a lot to do in order to complete your to-do list. You’ll continue to push yourself very hard. You might want to take another look at a financial matter. How flexible you are will become key in an important discussion. Tonight: Respond to someone else’s efforts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★★ Even though you might be confident about a key topic, your thoughts are likely to change after a conversation. Your flexibility points to your success. A chat with a friend about upcoming plans needs to happen in the near future. Tonight: Make the most of the moment.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★★★ Your more playful, risktaking side is likely to display a need to express itself in a meaningful way. You might opt to spend some time close to home right now. You will accomplish more if you can work from home, too. Tonight: Get together with friends.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★★★ A meeting proves to be more significant than you originally had thought. Express your feelings, with the knowledge that others will understand where you are coming from. Make an important call about a recent purchase that you made. Tonight: Out and about.
