If it’s your birthday
SAM The AMCONYC Official Fashion Week After Party may bring VIPs, fashionistas, and, consequently, traffic to the Union Sq. area Friday night (10 p.m. to 4 a.m.), but it’s got nothing on the thousands who will rally and demonstrate all over the city through Sunday.
Friday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., thousands will head to the southeast corner of Washington Square Park for the “NYC Solidarity Rally for the General Strike,” sending Trump-lock to the Village and causing W. 4th St. and Sixth Ave. slowdowns. If you’re headed to or from the area, Gridlock Sam recommends taking the A/C/E/B/D/F/M to W. 4th St. or the N/R/W to 8th St.-NYU.
Also Friday, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., the “Legal Community Strikes Back” in front of the NY State Supreme Court on Centre and Worth Sts. This rally could delay the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges. 1/2/3/J/Z/R/W/4/5/6 trains all service the surrounding area.
This rally could cause jams at Washington Sq. North/Waverly Pl. and Fifth Ave.
The “Today, I am Muslim Too” rally, noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, will close Broadway between 48th and 53rd Sts. This crowd will bring in thousands, which means it could impact the Lincoln Tunnel, possibly sending spillover traffic to the Happy birthday, sensitive warrior! You accomplish the extraordinary by overcoming obstacles that vanquish most people. Whatever your material circumstances, life is still a challenge. You succeed by making yourself indomitable with a spiritual armor, inspiring others through your belief. You share your birthday with Marian Anderson, Michael Jordan and Huey Newton. In 2017, it becomes easier as you lead the pack in what you want to do, and personally, you decide to let more love into your life. Isolated no more, you experience your happiest career success going into 2018, and finally the self-fulfillment you always dreamed. MARCH 21-APRIL 19 Take a really deep look into what is going on around you. Recently, new ideas have come to mind and you’re curious about how to make them a part of a new regimen. A while back, you became interested in undergoing self- improvements, and you now feel an emotional commitment to this revitalizing journey. APRIL 20-MAY 20 You’re looking for some relationship advice. Lately you’ve been frustrated and somewhat displeased by actions for which you feel your partner is responsible. Step back to consider the possibility of potential incidents where you may have contributed to the situation. Work at unemotionally reviewing these incidents to see whether this might be true. MAY 21-JUNE 20 You want to turn your focus to some big ideas. While they’ve been brewing there, today they suddenly bubble up and you want to further develop them. Previous considerations are being challenged by concepts which once seemed almost overwhelming. These interesting ideas guide your mind to an innovative and exciting new thought process. JUNE 21-JULY 22 You want to be able to express yourself freely today. Maybe things at work have become stale and tedious and you would like to make some changes. With the contemplative period you’ve been experiencing, it’s possible to come up with some very well-thought-out notions as to how this can be accomplished. JULY 23-AUG. 22 If you aren’t trying to change how you’re doing things, you’re denying something important that’s been affecting you. If your creative juices feel blocked, change this by paying attention to how your energy is used. While you want to push on, it’s better to sit back and contemplate why you’re doing it all. SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 Although your attention has gravitated toward capriciously acquiring things, you might want to be wary of how much you’ve been spending. Also not a bad idea to start considering how seriously your ideas are being valued. Thinking about what will enhance you professionally would be time better spent. OCT. 23-NOV. 21 You may be feeling a little touchy today, as the Moon skirts through your sign. Put your thinking cap on and work toward some smaller changes than those you have considered. You enjoy getting down to work and the productivity that it brings. Don’t try overreaching what you’re capable of now. NOV. 22-DEC. 21 Although you may be quietly waiting and considering how to start something new, when you feel the time is right to speak up, the words are readily available to present your case. You’ve entered a period where you want to present the real you to others, and they’re waiting to be introduced! DEC. 22-JAN. 19 You have been enjoying some benefits at work, but there’s been a push and pull between them and your family. Your personal life bounces from pleasantly calm to unexpected changes. Your sense of responsibility won’t allow you to ignore your commitments, but maybe friends can help guide you in the right direction.
