HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, July

10, 2017:

This year you feel the pull and push of those in power. A boss could become controlling to the extent that you might have trouble dealing with him or her. Consider not reacting, if possible. If you are single, a friendship plays a major role in creating a romance. You might meet this person at a party or with a friend. If you are attached, you often find that you need to back off and stop arguing with your sweetie about who’s right. Once you accept and respect your differences, the romance between you will heat up. AQUARIUS can be a warm, caring friend who presents a different view.
