Happy birthday for Friday, April 28, 2023: You are energetic, radiant and know how to motivate others. You have a strong sense of responsibility for others, especially family. This is a wonderful year to socialize and enjoy life. Let your guard down and loosen up. Meanwhile, old friends may reappear to rekindle relationships.

Aries (March 21-April 19): Social plans might suddenly change today. They might be canceled, or you might get a surprise invitation. Meanwhile, parents should be extra vigilant today, because this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Admittedly, there is increased chaos and confusion at home. Tonight: Party!

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Your home routine will change today. Small appliances might break down or a minor breakage could occur. Someone might surprise you by knocking on your door and catching you off guard. Get dressed. Stock the fridge. Be ready for anything. Tonight: Entertain.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Pay attention to everything you say and do, because this is an accident-prone day for your sign. This includes physical accidents as well as verbal gaffes. Nothing has to happen if you are mindful and aware. Slow down and take it all in. Know what’s happening around you. Tonight: Schmooze.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Keep an eye on your money and possessions today, because something unexpected could impact them. For example, you might find money; you might lose money. Be smart and protect what you own against loss, theft or damage. Tonight: Shop.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Strong feelings of independence could lead to a clash with an authority figure today. Let’s face it, you’re a natural leader, which can threaten other leaders, especially if they are not as skilled as you. (Which is often the case.) Be nice to the little people. It’s the classy way to be. Tonight: You’re charming.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): This is a restless day!

Fortunately, with Venus at the top of your chart, others see you as charming and personable. Tonight: Pleasant solitude.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You might meet a real character today. Or possibly someone you know might do something that surprises you.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Keep your eyes open today. You might be surprised by a parent, friend, partner or someone close to you. It’s the unexpected element that will catch you off guard. Someone might demand more freedom in the relationship. They might throw you a curveball. Be cool. Tonight: You’re admired.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Travel plans will change today. They will either be delayed, canceled or rescheduled, or you might suddenly have to travel when you didn’t expect to do so. Someone from another culture also might surprise you. Meanwhile, legal decisions or medical matters might catch you off guard. Tonight: Explore!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Make friends with your bank account so you know what’s happening. I say this because something you don’t expect will impact your assets in some way today.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Today a partner or close friend might say or do something you didn’t expect. This will likely relate to family or a parent.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Do be careful, because this is an accident-prone day, especially at work. You also might hear unusual news related to your health. Possibly something unexpected will impact a pet; therefore, be vigilant. Don’t be casual today. Think before you speak when talking to others. Tonight: Easy cooperation.
