Horoscope

Happy birthday:

for Saturday, April 8. This year you accomplish a lot. You seem to have an inner conflict going on about when to be impulsive and act quickly, and when to take your time and reflect on different ideas. People will be hard-pressed to predict what you will do next. If you are single, you’ll attract whomever you want, but you could have mixed feelings once you get to know someone better. If you are attached, you both have the ability to identify with others’ feelings, which helps you better relate to each other. The key here is to respect each other’s feelings. VIRGO might be more into creature comforts than you realize.
