Horoscope: April 11, 2019

A baby born today has a Sun in Aries and a Moon in Cancer.

Happy birthday for Thursday April 10, 2019:
This year you experience an innate tension. You know what you want and are goal-directed. You also have a moody side. If single, dating you could be challenging, as you have such a multifaceted personality. Someone might identify with and relate to one facet but not another. You will know when you meet the right person. If attached, the two of you might not agree about each item or issue in your life. The caring between you stays bright, the result of mutual respect. CANCER’S moods sometimes create a discomfort within you.
