Horoscopes

For Saturday, April 17, 2004. Those with birthdays today: You express unusual energy and enthusiasm this year. All the attention tumbles onto you, whether you like it or not. Your charisma, wit and energy merge, making you hard to resist. If you are single, people surround you left and right. Avoid moving in with someone this year. If you are attached, the two of you need to work more together to give each other mutual support.
