Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, April 18, 2012: This year you are an emotional pendulum, swinging from moody to introverted and from emotional to dynamic. Try both sides of your personality this year. If single, you attract impulsive and spontaneous people. If attached, the two of you become more carefree than you were before you met each other. You infuse your relationship with a wild excitement. Another Aries might be very different, but have a similar intensity. A baby born today has a sun in Aries and a moon in Pisces if born before 8:59 a.m. Afterward, the moon will be in Aries.
