Your Birthday for April 28, 2015

Your Birthday | April 28th, 2015

Born today, you have been endowed with a tremendous capacity to visualize and dream, but you don't always know how to turn those visions and dreams into reality. Unfortunately, dreaming in and of itself just isn't enough to give you lasting happiness in life! If you work hard to shape your dreams and secure them to certain notions of reality that can serve as a foundation upon which you can build something of value, then the world is likely to be your oyster -- eventually. If you don't, you'll be the victim of disappointment again and again, watching your dreams vanish before they can come to fruition. You are quick to recognize opportunities, but you must learn to take advantage of them just as quickly.

You can be rather unpredictable at times, behaving in an erratic manner that defies conventional understanding and baffles even those who know you best. Often, these erratic moments are followed by periods of intense creative activity that can, if managed wisely, lead to pleasure and profit.

Also born on this date are: Jessica Alba, actress; Jay Leno, comedian and television personality; Penelope Cruz, actress; Ann-Margret, actress; James Monroe, U.S. president; Mary McDonnell, actress; Lionel Barrymore, actor; Paul Guilfoyle, actor; Kari Wuhrer, actress.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A friend keeps you from making a mistake that you could end up regretting for a very long time. Show your gratitude; be generous.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're likely to be introduced to an opportunity that seems to call to you in an unusual way. You'll want to answer, surely.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may stumble onto a bargain that you simply cannot pass up -- even though money, right now, may seem somewhat tight.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You'll need things done more quickly than usual, so you'll have to come up with a few imaginative alternatives with which to work.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You have a problem to solve, but it mustn't take up every waking moment. Other duties await you that cannot be postponed or delayed.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll want to take as much time as you are given in order to solve a particularly stubborn problem. Don't be in a hurry.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Someone who is unaware that he or she needs help will benefit from your assistance, but you must provide it in an unobtrusive, even invisible way.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Details cannot be overlooked, as they will surely mean the difference between knowledge and ignorance, success and failure.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're after something that doesn't seem to be out of reach, but the harder you try, the further away it may seem. Is something in your way?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Others may insist that you don't have enough time to get everything done, but what they don't know is that you're ahead of the game.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You may not be making the most auspicious start, but soon you'll be able to pick up the pace and reap greater rewards.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're feeling as though you're neither where you should be, nor far from that desired place. This middle ground is not what you want!

Your Birthday for April 27, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | April 27th, 2015

Born today, you are energetic, driven and ambitious, but in your youth, you may not have enjoyed the greatest success, partially because you may have been, in your own words, unlucky. Any lack of success you may have suffered is not likely to have been for want of trying; indeed, it is likely true that you are willing to try too many things -- which, of course, prevents you from focusing sufficiently on any single endeavor. Ultimately, you're likely to stumble into the opportunity that allows you to blossom and surge to the fore, doing that which you were born to do. Once you discover what this is -- and that you are not happy doing anything else -- all kinds of doors can open for you, and you'll go from one success to another.

You are not always what you seem. That which others can plainly see may only be an image, and the inner truth that lies deep beneath the surface would actually surprise those around you if they were able to see it. The truth is that you don't always like to reveal who you really are.

Also born on this date are: Casey Kasem, radio personality; Ulysses S. Grant, U.S. president and military leader; Coretta Scott King, civil rights leader; Sheena Easton, singer; Jack Klugman, actor; Sandy Dennis, actress; Anouk Aimee, actress; August Wilson, playwright; Rogers Hornsby, baseball player; Enos Slaughter, baseball player; Patrick Page, actor.

TUESDAY, APRIL 28

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Getting started will be the hard part -- as is so often the case. Once you're on your way, key milestones will pass by very quickly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may have second thoughts about something to which you have committed both time and resources. Your insecurity is showing!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Now is the time for you to make that change you've been planning for a while. Don't worry: Everyone will get used to it eventually!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- It's a good day to involve others in a project that was originally a solitary activity. After all, the more, the merrier!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Others may be making plans that involve you whether you want to take part or not. You'll have to adjust your schedule accordingly.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- There's no point in resenting or regretting something that could not have been prevented. Just go along for the ride and do your best!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may discover that a work requirement actually benefits you personally, though it may also require a certain small sacrifice at first.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Is there enough time in the day to do all that you have scheduled? Perhaps you ought to rearrange things more realistically.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Something may be sapping your strength, if not your enthusiasm. Perhaps you have not been taking good enough care of yourself lately.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You're in for something of a scare, but you'll get over it soon, and you'll be prevented from falling victim to it ever again.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You'll be in a position to receive something that was not originally meant for you, but once in your hands, it can benefit many.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Seek a way out. If you can't make it by any ordinary means, you'll have to invent one of your own. Focus on your ultimate goal.

Your Birthday for April 26, 2015

by Stella Wilder

Your Birthday | April 26th, 2015

Born today, you are perhaps one of the most unassuming individuals born under your sign, willing at all times to see things in a realistic light -- even when that light is not all that flattering to you! Indeed, being fair is what you are all about. Behaving in a way that makes it possible for others to be fair as well is most important to you. Of course you are no saint, and you will now and then falter and do things you are not proud of, things that go against your accustomed generosity and cooperative spirit, but you can recover quickly, regain your balance and continue along a path to parity that pleases you.

In domestic situations, you can be rather untidy -- but you are always quick to admit it and do your best to clean up after yourself. You don't do this for yourself, but for others; you fully understand that good manners are an important aspect of harmonious living!

Also born on this date are: Channing Tatum, actor; Kevin James, actor and comedian; Jet Li, actor; Carol Burnett, actress and comedian; Bobby Rydell, singer; Marcus Aurelius, Roman emperor; Duane Eddy, guitarist; I.M. Pei, architect; Joan Chen, actress; Ma Rainey, singer; Hack Wilson, baseball player.

MONDAY, APRIL 27

ARIES (March 20-April 19) -- You mustn't let your emotions run amok; keep tabs on how you are feeling -- and why -- and make small adjustments as needed.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Take a close look at the issues being raised by those around you. You may find that you have overlooked something in the recent past.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Forward motion requires forward thinking, and forward thinking requires you to loosen your bonds to the past. You can do this!

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You must be patient with those who are not able to keep up with you at every moment. You must respect another's learning curve.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- The accomplishments you are most proud of will inform efforts that begin today and continue for the coming weeks.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll know when time is up, when enough is enough, when you've reached the end of something finite. Don't push those boundaries!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Your interest is high, but your ability to jump in may be restricted by a fear that you don't entirely understand or recognize.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- A friend's offer brings you back to life in a way and has you seeing things from a much more positive point of view.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Your stamina may not be what it was a few days ago, so you must pace yourself and give yourself time to recover as necessary.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Now is not the time to rest on your laurels. The competition could be gaining on you, and you cannot afford to give up any ground right now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The concerns you have are shared by many, yet you realize that you may be the only one who has conceived of a solid plan.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Others compare your personal progress to that made by some of the greats who have gone before. Is this really fair?
