Today’s birthday (Wednesday, April 27, 2016) This year your practical nature emerges, making what you thought was impossible possible. You will learn to let go of certain mental filters that have been life-long but have prevented you from seeing clearly at times. If you are single, you will open up to a new hobby or passion.
