HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, April 17, 2020:
With serious purpose you expect to be listened to, and this year you are not disappointed. You may change your mind in your career direction but even with added pressures you do well. A turn for the better in your fortune is likely. If single, you meet someone new and become a couple very quickly. If attached, do not be critical. Your partner needs extra reassurance now. PISCES is way sensitive and vulnerable.
