- BY JACQUELINE BIGAR by Kelly Ann Buchanan

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, April 27, 2019:

This year, you'll be far more aware of your profession and responsibi­lities. An older relative, possibly a parent, needs additional attention. You'll assume that responsibi­lity with grace. Communicat­ion flourishes this year. If single, you'll meet someone you find quite unique and intriguing. You often get to the bottom of issues together. If you're attached, you and your partner spend a lot of one-on-one time. Your closeness becomes more bonded. AQUARIUS can be provocativ­e and ask heavy questions.
