If it’s your birthday
SAM The 5 Boro Bike Tour Sunday closes many bridges and streets, and simultaneous Met and Yankee home games tonight at 7 p.m. will slow down the evening rush hour even more.
From 7 a.m. to noon Sunday, the bike tour closes Church St./Sixth Ave. to Central Park and the southbound FDR from 116th to 63rd Sts., then the Ed Koch/ Queensborough Bridge until 12:30 p.m., the westbound BQE from Columbia St. to the Verrazano until 2:30 p.m., and the Verrazano’s Staten Island-bound lower level ‘til 3:30 p.m. More details Sunday.
The Bruckner has lane closures after tonight’s Yankee game and before tomorrow’s, and the Cross Bronx after tonight.
Take transit to either stadium. The 4 is running local both ways between Brooklyn Bridge and 125th St. Saturday and Sunday, and the B only runs to Yankee Stadium Friday until 7 p.m.
Run the Bronx closures Saturday 10 a.m. to noon include the Grand Concourse between 179th St. and Mosholu Parkway and 181st St. between University and Aqueduct Aves.
Saturday Broadway is closed from 39th to 35th Sts. 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. for a street festival, and one lane is closed from 32nd St. to Union Square 1 to 5 p.m. for a cannabis parade. Today’s Moon-Saturn meeting is a reminder not to take things too seriously. Keep a light attitude, especially related to matters that you consider spiritual. Make every effort not to judge or even evaluate yourself but rather give yourself the benefit of the doubt, and do your best every day. You are already cautious; remember that you are guided. You share a birthday with Keith Haring, Ana Gasteyer and Will Arnett. MARCH 21-APRIL 19 You may be confronted by some situation today where you’re called to take responsibility, or must hold someone to account. Before you dive into the issues, set some parameters, and make sure you do adequate fact-finding before any decision is made. Give that a few days. APRIL 20-MAY 20 You take matters of right and wrong more seriously than anyone you know. You can even afford to take a step back and give yourself more room to maneuver. There are, at times, stark shades of black and white, but most of the world is a gray area; thankfully your vision is sublime. MAY 21-JUNE 20 Through the weekend and into next week, you must take special care to be honest with yourself, on the emotional level. That may mean living with some ambiguity or uncertainty, and not rushing to fill in that space with premature or false conclusions. Hang out with the unknown. JUNE 21-JULY 22 You cannot control people, but you can set boundaries; and thank heavens you have them. This may be necessary in professional environments today. Or you may need to take authority in a personal situation. Keep the transaction adult-to-adult. Avoid parent-to-child type interactions. JULY 23-AUG. 22 Don’t let your work burden you today. You don’t have to get it all done. Take care of just one or two top priority projects and end your week gently. If you prioritize early in the day, you may find you have plenty of time left later to tie up a good few loose ends — but don’t push it. AUG. 23-SEPT. 22 Hang loose with a partner or lover today, rather than driving down Serious Boulevard. You do have a choice. It will be easy to relax or celebrate the beauty of life if you choose consciously. There could easily be some intense sexual fire if you dare to strike a match and light it up. SEPT. 23-OCT. 22 A family matter not as urgent as it may seem; but it will seem the more pressing if you shut down emotionally rather than open up. It would be better to step away for a day or two and leave people to their business. It may take some chutzpah, but you don’t have to get involved. OCT. 23-NOV. 21 If you take someone up on an invitation, you’re likely to have a very good time. Just take full responsibility for your choice, and remember: The reality is always different from the fantasy. However, in this particular moment, the two have more in common than usual, which will be fun. NOV. 22-DEC. 21 You may think your financial situation is challenging; however, if so, it’s merely a shortterm issue. These very days (and the coming year or two) are the time in your life when you will build the foundation of your true fortunes. Keep a positive attitude, and keep laying on the bricks. DEC. 22-JAN. 19 You seem uncertain whether to cut loose or shrivel up in a little ball. I suggest you try cutting loose, since the whole shriveling thing is getting old. Even if you live to a ripe old age, life is brief and youth is fleeting. Resolve to enjoy your life — now, and for all of your precious days. JAN. 20-FEB. 18 Your chart this weekend has the feeling of angst, an emotion that I suggest you do your best to slough off. It looks like there’s something you want to express, so you might make that a priority. What is it? There’s a sexual dimension for sure, and a lot of energy ready for release. FEB. 19-MARCH 20 You may be working harder than usual to guard your boundaries; though as the Sun and Neptune form a helpful union this weekend, you will find this much easier to handle. Remember always: your words carry persuasive authority. Stick to truth rather than to beauty. It’s all you need. is
