For Monday, April 16:

This year you make waves. You’ll want to work on your communication, even when you feel uncomfortable with the topic. How you express your anger becomes a key issue. If you are single, many people appreciate your bright, verbal manner. If you are attached, the two of you will benefit from many weekends away from others.
