HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, April 20, 2017: This year you develop a fondness for exchanging ideas and brainstorm­ing. You open up to a new style of communicat­ion. Consider getting more expertise in your chosen field. If you are single, the potential suitor you meet today might not interest you in a few months. You are changing, and the person you choose after the summer will reflect that transition. If you are attached, make more time for your sweetie; you don’t want him or her to feel left out. Aquarius often irritates you, but you still value his or her friendship.

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) Don’t hesitate to pick up the phone and have a conversati­on, especially as a situation could change suddenly. You’ll want to put in your two cents and be heard. Your opinion does make a difference.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You feel more energized than usual, and are capable of changing direction as a result. Others look to you for feedback, as you seem more flexible and willing to try a different approach

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) A lot is going on in your mind that you might choose not to share. You could see a partner become controllin­g over a financial matter. Take a step back and observe. You can say only so much, so perhaps a well-chosen question would be powerful.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Let a loved one play a bigger role in handling an issue. You might not always agree with this person, but he or she does get good results. You’ll be relieved to have fewer responsibi­lities for a while

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your mind seems to be working overtime. Be aware of the power that comes with a sudden change of opinion or direction. Open up a conversati­on in order to root out a problem. Others are likely to tell

you everything you want to know. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You have more insight into what is happening than those around you do. You have the ability to understand where others are coming from. Pursue a creative interest or project. A child could become difficult if not given enough attention.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Defer to someone who has a lot of ideas that he or she wants to share. Understand your choices, and be aware of your limits. You could be distracted by a new love interest. Tap into your imaginatio­n; you will feel a lot better as a result.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Others will be responsive, but not in the way you might want them to be. A lot is going on with a key person whom you feel you need to hear from. Be more forthright in what you are doing. Your instincts will lead you in the right direction.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) An associate shares exactly what is on his or her mind. You might not want to share everything you’re thinking about quite yet. You would prefer to consider an issue more fully before speaking. A gettogethe­r will delight you to no end.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your imaginatio­n often acts as a source of endless ideas. Today, you will see your creativity take over, especially if faced with a challenge. In fact, you might not respond immediatel­y, as you’ll see even more possibilit­ies than usual.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You will want to work from home. You need a change of scenery. You also have a lot of ground to cover. Communicat­ion flourishes. You might want to express what is on your mind. Expect some strong feedback. You finally feel relaxed and centred. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You are in a period where you are likely to voice your opinions in any situation. You could be debating which approach to take with a financial matter. Only you know for sure what your real objectives are. A partner expresses his or her caring.
