Horoscopes

For Monday, April 25.

Those with birthdays today: You might want to think carefully before you leap into action this year. If you aren’t in touch with your motives, sometimes your impulsiveness matched with your strong will could cause you a problem. After the fact, you often explain yourself to the point that others close off and don’t listen. Be careful when dealing with difficult authority figures. Your personal and public commitments pull you in many different directions. If you are single, you might find that anchoring on a key person is not easy. Still, you might find doing so worthwhile. You will make excellent relationship choices after October. If you are attached, your relationship will flourish if you allow your sweetie to have a greater say in what happens. SCORPIO could challenge you.
