HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, April

21, 2017:

This year you often take an unconventional stand. Other times, you are emotional and very sensitive to a situation. Use care with spending, as you tend to sedate your strong feelings by going on a shopping spree of some kind. If you are single, you will meet someone as the weather cools down. This person will open your mind to many different perspectives. If you are attached, the two of often are seen out and about as a couple. Together, you will realize a long-term goal. PISCES proves his or her loyalty over and over again.

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)

Your high energy might be covering up some frustration or anger. By being active, your difficult feelings often disappear. Right now and for the next few weeks, your words could carry some sarcasm or hostility. Discuss this issue with a close friend. Tonight: Catch some zzz’s.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You might feel as if a friend isn’t telling you exactly what he or she feels. Perhaps this person doesn’t feel confident that you will respond the way he or she would like you to. A conversation opens up new possibilities. Tonight: TGIF! Celebrate with a loved one.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You would embrace a certain situation differently, given the opportunity. A conversation will offer more insight into what is happening. You could be somewhat more sarcastic than usual. Ask yourself what is going on, and figure out what is irritating you. Tonight: Be around music.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Taking a break from the here and now will be important, and it also might positively affect various areas of your life. You could be more uptight than you realize. Try not to swallow any anger, and be more willing to discuss your feelings. Tonight: Head out for the weekend.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Others come forward and express their feelings. You will have the opportunity to form a closer bond with a specific person. You might be out of sync when dealing with many people at once. Opt for more one-on-one interactions. Tonight: Avoid a difficult and/or irritating friend.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your instinct will be to defer to someone else. How you handle a personal matter could change radically, given some time. You know what you need to do to make a situation work. A conversation could be provocative, but it will be worthwhile. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might need to fill in for someone who can’t be present to follow through on a key responsibility. Expect a close friend to be somewhat upset at the sudden change of plans. Share your thoughts with someone in whom you often confide. Tonight: In the whirlwind of living.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your creativity cannot be suppressed. On the other hand, you might not want to share your ideas with everyone. A financial matter could have you tied up or feeling restricted. Break past that barrier as quickly as possible. Tonight: Express your interest in someone.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You might be feeling unusually relaxed despite some pressure you’re getting from an associate or loved one. You probably won’t be surprised if this person has an outburst or two. Perhaps you’ll want to have a long-overdue chat as a result. Tonight: Listen rather than talk.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your intuition locks in one more time, yet you still might wonder what to do next. Let events play out. Make sure your hunches are right before you take action. Sometimes you feel as if you need to sit on your frustration. Tonight: Join a friend or two for some bubbly.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Be aware of how much money you are spending. In a sense, you might want to call a halt to what is happening. You will be able to honor a change, but only once you are sure that the other party involved is ready. A loved one suddenly might act up. Tonight: Curb any wild spending.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You feel in sync with others. You often think about how those around you feel, but you also need to honor your own feelings. Be more direct in expressing your thoughts and ideas. As a result, you’ll open up and feel much happier. Tonight: Invite a close friend to dinner.
