HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, April 15, 2013: This year you often express your views and communicate intellectually; however, there are times when you swing from being logical to being more emotional and conflicted. Do not let co-workers, acquaintances or those you don’t deeply trust see these swings. You will change after this year. If you are single, you’ll meet someone very important to your life and well-being after June. Enjoy it! If you are attached, the two of you need to plan special mini-trips alone as a couple. Cancer sometimes irritates you to no end. A baby born today has a sun in Aries and a moon in Gemini if born before 7:49 p.m. Afterward, the moon will be in Cancer.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • Look at your finances. Are they balanced? Study alternatives before making a decision. You usually think there is only one right way, but know that there are many different paths.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • • You need some time away from others. Seclude yourself if possible; otherwise, you could find yourself in a difficult situation where your grumpiness will emerge.
