Horoscopes

For Thursday, April 15, 2004. Those with birthdays today: You express unusual spontaneity in your daily life, sometimes tossing others into tizzies or putting yourself into unexpected situations. Learn to understand your inner self better so you won’t act out so much and shake up the status quo. Caring surrounds you, especially in your day-to-day life. A new animal might appear in your household. If you are single, romance becomes spicy in 2005, but you will enjoy yourself anyway. Just don’t commit for a while. If you are attached, share more of your vulnerability with your partner.
