HOROSCOPES BY JACQUELINE BIGAR

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, April 23, 2014:

This year you open up to strong feelings, which often is not easy to do. Unexpected events and stunning insights point to your perspective changing. You will not be able to look at the same situations in the same way you have in the past. You’ll expand your mind as a result. Travel and/or higher education is likely to open doors for you. If you are single, you will be attracted to someone quite different from you, who could be from a different culture. You have a lot to offer each other. If you are attached, you might decide to sign up for a class together or go off on an exotic trip. AQUARIUS is far more adventuresome than you are.
