HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, April 15, 2021:
Free-thinking, assertive and self-assured, follow your dreams no matter how challenging they seem. This year, you show those who underestimated you a thing or two. Watch your tendency to become a workaholic. Make time for recreational family activities. A steady income with an occasional bonus will let you plan ahead seamlessly. If single, a casual friendship takes a serious turn. If attached, love always wins an argument. CAPRICORN is loyal.
