If it’s your birthday
SAM Trump-lock hits tomorrow, Saturday!
Protesters will swarm outside his first stop, breakfast at Cipriani on 42nd St. between Park and Lex starting at 8:30 a.m. Expect many to head north to Trump Tower on Fifth and 56th.
His second stop is an RNC donor “thank you” luncheon at the Pierre hotel on 61st St. at Fifth Ave.; a few blocks north of Trump Tower. In the afternoon he will attend a high-dollar fundraiser at a private residence on the Upper East Side.
Saturday motorists should expect shutdowns on the FDR Drive from the Battery to 63rd St. in the morning, say 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and again mid-afternoon. Streets to avoid are: Fifth Ave., of course, from 65th to 42nd; 42nd between Third and Fifth; and the area around 86th St. on the Upper East Side.
For north-south travel stay on the West Side of Manhattan. Take the Henry Hudson Parkway/West Side Highway over FDR.
Also, this weekend, the Jets play the Chiefs Sunday at MetLife at 1 p.m. so the Lincoln and GW Bridge tunnels will be busier before and after the game.
The Islanders faceoff against Ottawa tonight at 7 p.m. at Barclays and the Nets You could hardly want a better gift than Venus entering your sign on your birthday. This is an invitation to let your beauty, charm and the friendly side of your personality lead the way. Make the choice to feel safe enough to let the love shine from your heart. You’re a bold and confident person. You will feel even better living this way. You share a birthday with Richard Pryor, Bette Midler and Janelle Monáe. MARCH 21-APRIL 19 Today Venus enters the sector of your chart associated with your long-term plans and highest vision of your life. At the same time, you may be feeling some frustration in your efforts at going forward. You must do something very un-Aries, which is to be patient for a few weeks. APRIL 20-MAY 20 The Moon is now in your sign, which will have a calming effect and guide you back into your feelings. With the Full Moon approaching, you may be feeling tense, alert or restless. Put that energy to good use. Venus, your ruling planet, has just entered your house of pleasures of the night. MAY 21-JUNE 20 You may feel like you’re at the end of your tether or like you’re under some pressure you don’t understand. Don’t add to your own woes. For example, take deadlines in order, and verify that something is a problem before you try to solve it. Sometimes doing nothing is the best approach. JUNE 21-JULY 22 The most important contribution you can make is your good vibes. Use your social skills to smooth out differences, and to avoid controversies. Your actual work counts for plenty, though your loving presence counts for a lot more. People are on edge; your presence will guide them to a more stable place. JULY 23-AUG. 22 Venus has just entered your fellow fire sign Sagittarius, which for you represents your talents, your pleasures and your sense of adventure. Though you clearly have important things on your mind, you might want to invest energy in something that just seems new, fun and potentially profitable. AUG. 23-SEPT. 22 You may be missing one of the great blessings of your life, though you will soon discover it. For now, don’t be so quick to complain about your situation, or any aspect of it. Rather, count your blessings and be grateful for what you have, and what you’re able to provide for yourself. SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 Mars in your sign is now opposite Uranus, in your relationship zone. This also describes your relationship to your whole environment. The message is: when you exert energy, force, pressure or aggression you will encounter an equal or greater force, which may take you totally by surprise. OCT. 23-NOV. 21 Mars, your ruling planet, is now in rare form, and you may be feeling some blend of impulsive, agitated or paranoid. Pay close attention to your dreams. They will tell you what’s going on below the surface. You will feel better when you understand your own motives and unspoken needs. DEC. 22-JAN. 19 Sometimes you need some friendly diversion, like going to a movie or a show. Just make sure you choose a subject matter that’s about pleasure and not about aggression. You are sensitive and impressionable right now, and you need to surround yourself with positive vibes. JAN. 20-FEB. 18 Whatever may be going on in your life, you’re creative enough to have fun with it, and to turn disagreements into collaboration. You are practiced enough in psychology to do this, though a friendly approach to problem-solving will go a long way this week. Show us how it’s done. FEB. 19-MARCH 20 Venus has just entered the recognition and reputation angle of your solar chart, which is like getting a star hung on your dressing-room door. Many other factors suggest that you’re being seen and noticed. Just be cautious, such as asking someone to read anything destined for public consumption.
