HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, April

28, 2017:

This year you see the results of your ingenuity. If you are an artist, a writer or otherwise involved in a creative field, you’ll enter one of the most productive periods of your life. If you are single, you attract many admirers who make it clear that they would like to be yours truly. Date until you find Mr. or Ms. Right. If you are attached, the two of you might disagree about how to spend your money. Consider getting separate checking accounts, especially as you are likely to consider making a major purchase together. GEMINI can irritate you at times.

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)

You take on a glow, not because of the impending weekend, but because of a planetary change that will last for several weeks. Your ideas will be wellreceived. Confusion surrounds communication with someone who is not as creative as you are. Tonight: Hang out with friends.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You might be spending a bit more than you would like to be. This fact isn’t likely to bother you until later, when you assess the damage. An insight about someone you care about opens up a new opportunity to relate to him or her more intensely. Tonight: Time to have some fun!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You could be full of fun, and will embrace the good times, as long as you can let go of an underlying matter that seems to be irritating you. A friend adds to the present commotion by doing something unexpected. Maintain your sense of humor. Tonight: Where the action is.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

An older relative might shake up the status quo. You’ll need to think about what is happening carefully rather than react. Your imagination will help you understand where the other party is coming from. Try to detach from the here and now. Tonight: Play it low-key.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You could be overwhelmed by your friends all counting on you to join them sooner or later. You might decide to take off later in the afternoon and explore a favorite haunt that’s not too far from you. As a result, you’ll be able to clear your mind. Tonight: Among the crowds.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You’ll want to rethink what is happening in your immediate circle. Someone you care about could be quite difficult. Use care with your spending. Your sense of direction might be clouded, which is likely to confuse a loved one as well. Tonight: A must appearance.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Reach out to a knowledgeable friend to discuss something that is outside your realm of understanding. You’ll discover just how caring a loved one is as you witness his or her softer side emerge. Enjoy it; you don’t often see this side. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Relate to others directly if you want a stronger connection and deeper conversation. You also will come to understand a key person in your life better. This person could be an associate or a special friend. You’ll see several people in a new light. Tonight: Follow your instincts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Defer to others, but know that you might find several friends or loved ones touchy and difficult. Your compassion tends to soften attitudes at the present moment. A phone call or visit could bring a surprise. Even if you are shocked, stay open-minded. Tonight: Join others for fun.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might be focused on completing what you want to get done. Efforts to clear your desk will prove worthwhile. See what happens when you remain focused. A family member or a domestic matter adds some excitement to your day. Tonight: Make it early, if possible.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You are direct in how you handle a personal matter. A loved one could be contentious without realizing it. Try to stay levelheaded when dealing with this person; ultimately, his or her mood will change. Understand where someone else is coming from. Tonight: Let your hair down.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

What goes on at home will make a big difference to those in your inner circle. Be careful when dealing with mechanical equipment or any item that could cause a cut or fire. You might be holding back some feelings that are likely to come out in odd ways. Tonight: At home.
