The Gridlock Season kicks off today as NYC DOT has declared Friday the first of many Gridlock Alert Days between now and Christmas. While Midtown will be crawling, getting out of town will be the biggest challenge. Hard to rank the worst spots but I’d put the Holland Tunnel as No. 1, followed in order by the Lincoln Tunnel, GW Bridge and Midtown Tunnel.

Outside Manhattan, roads near airports will be hard hit especially the Grand Central Parkway by La Guardia, the Van Wyck and Belt by JFK. The LIE, Deegan, Verrazano, Cross Bronx are all in the competitio­n. Worst time to travel is 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. The Manhattan crossings will ease by 9 p.m.

Anti-Trump protesters will be gathering at Washington Square Park and then marching up Sixth Ave. to Times Square on Saturday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Hundreds of cyclists are biking to rally at City Hall Park Sunday from noon to 1:30 p.m. This will likely affect Broadway and the Park Row approach to the Brooklyn Bridge.

The Giants play the Chiefs 1 p.m. Sunday at MetLife Stadium. The Nets play Utah Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Golden State Sunday at 6 p.m. The Rangers face off against Ottawa at 7 p.m. Sunday.

It’s called a “Night of Too Many Stars” for a reason so there’ll be lots of limos and media trucks around Madison Square Garden Saturday night for the 7:30 pm. show hosted by Jon Stewart. It The Beatles ended their career saying “the love you take is equal to the love you make.” Your birthday chart is reminding you to be generous, both financiall­y and emotionall­y. This will remind you how good your life is, and never to take for granted the happiness and the privileges that you have. Let your life be a shining example to others. You share a birthday with Lee Strasberg, Martin Scorsese, and Yolanda King. MARCH 21-APRIL 19 It’s essential that you learn to receive what’s offered to you. Many people say it’s easier for them to love than it is to be loved; and if this in any way describes you, then it’s time to confront this. You’ll ease considerab­le tension if you learn how to receive graciously. APRIL 20-MAY 20 There are profound benefits to collaborat­ing, to sharing responsibi­lities and to bringing the best of who you are to every situation. Holding back, doing the bare minimum, and exploiting every situation are all the rage -- though all of this goes directly against your most deeply held ethics. MAY 21-JUNE 20 There may be some tension building in a relationsh­ip, and it will be better if you’re proactive and make a choice to work it out consciousl­y. It would be too easy to let things slide and then find yourself in a difficult spot. Have the courage to initiate the conversati­ons that you need to have. JUNE 21-JULY 22 Your daring and self-expressive natures are running at a peak right now, though you must take the first steps. You, personally, are the only one who can activate your potential, even if you seem to have help or inspiratio­n. Have the courage to dive into your passion, whatever that may be. JULY 23-AUG. 22 If you’re the go-out type, this would be a good night to stay in. If you’re the stay-at-home type, this would be an excellent night to come out. You’ll feel even better when you return, and you’ll love your cozy space. More than anything, take a moment and feel good about your life and your world. AUG. 23-SEPT. 22 You have the best ideas, though ideas do not implement themselves. You must personally see to it that they are actually put into action, and then refined until they do their jobs well. This is one of the very most important forms of leadership in the world. Being intelligen­t demands responsibi­lity. SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 If you want something, put in writing, and back that up with a spirited conversati­on when the opportunit­y arises. But the written bit is essential. You are persuasive in this mode; and there’s the side-benefit that nobody can mince your words, or pretend you didn’t say something. it NOV. 22-DEC. 21 If you could be granted one wish, what would it be? Think carefully, because your priorities matter. Would you choose love, or perfect health, or money? On what basis would you bump any of those priorities down to second or third place? Watch out: you might get what you’re after. DEC. 22-JAN. 19 We as a society, and you as a person, are past the time of mincing your words or fearing offending people with reality. This takes courage, and much of that is about finding a place of peace and sanity in your heart. As a great poet once wrote, let us not talk falsely now. The hour is getting late. JAN. 20-FEB. 18 With your chart currently featuring a growing collection of planets in your house of reputation and success, it might be difficult to take a humble approach to what you’re doing. Allow yourself just a little swagger, as long as it’s friendly. Then be understate­d about yourself, and shower praise on others. FEB. 19-MARCH 20 Effort has its rewards. They may not come as soon as we want, or in exactly the same form. Yet they often arrive at the perfect time, and in ways better than we might have expected. As a Pisces, you are a visionary; though you need to dream much bigger, and act as if your dreams are real.
