For Friday, April 25:

A willingness to expand mentally earmarks your success this year. Many of your opinions will reverse themselves given time and more information. You are serious, grounded yet sensitive. If you are single, someone easily could light up your life. If you are attached, more understanding and empathy flow between you. Capricorn always has a practical way of eyeing a situation.
