HAPPY BIRTHDAY

This year you might appear to be more reflective than you have been in the recent past. You will be exploring within yourself to work through certain issues that keep coming up. Your personal life remains a high priority. If you are single, a person who you meet close to the midpoint of your birthday year could be very significant to your life. If you are attached, you and your partner seem to work through an issue that often rears its ugly head. By working through this issue, you’ll make your life together enjoyable. PISCES could throw cold water on your most enthusiastic moments.
