For Sunday, April 23, 2006:

Surprises define your year. You might not always be in control or sure of yourself. Be willing to brave new territory or try something totally new. Your circle of friends could change, or you might add a new, exciting person to your life. You will take a more proactive stand than you have in years, going for what you want. Focus. Concentrate. If you are single, a romantic adventure is quite possible. This person could be “it.” If you are attached, be more playful together. PISCES is exciting yet loyal.”
