Horoscopes

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Feb. 8, 2019:

This year, you evolve, becoming more upbeat and content than you have been in a while. Honour this change and flow with it rather than bucking it off. If single, you might have to work on keeping that status. You might be in the process of defining what kind of relationship you desire. If attached, the two of you will be more impulsive. You might travel more, incorporating a special, longdesired vacation. Pisces understands you nearly better than you do.
