There is a few things to notice.

1. You are using <th> for all of your table elements. You should use <th> for the header elements and switch to <td> for the rest.

2. When you say you want to “move the birthday cell to the left 1 cell” do you mean like this?:

because then yes, you want to have 4 columns, meaning 4 <td> per row.
