For Sunday, April 19:

This year, you could make waves professionally. Follow an independent track, even if you are a bit uncomfortable. Know what possibilities lie ahead. Study the ramifications, especially concerning a boss. A friend could add that element of mystery and imagination to your life. This person could be a touch flaky. If you are single, you will meet people just by being out. Be a skeptic before you decide this person is the one. Time is your ally. If you are attached, the two of you need to join together in a common goal. Talk about your long-term aims. Make them a reality together. Pisces can be quite an unusual and exciting friend.
