Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, April 26, 2012: You might have difficulty being deeply emotional, as a practical approach seems to be your style. This year you will be able to express yourself more easily. Get ready for some strong reactions at first. Detach and observe. If you are single, you could meet someone in your daily life. Give this bond plenty of time to develop before making judgments. If you are attached, the two of you become more closely connected as you plan a long-desired trip. You become more emotional with Cancer. A baby born today has a sun in Taurus and a moon in Cancer.
