STARS JACQUELINE BIGAR

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY:

This year you often have to choose between using logic and tapping into your uncanny intuitive ability. You are well-intended, no matter what you decide. Your friendships become more significant than in the past. You come to understand the importance of having good friends. If you are single, you will meet someone who is capable of giving you a bad case of butterflies. Romance heats up in the fall. If you are attached, you sometimes experience some strong feelings, including jealousy. Treat your sweetie as if he or she is your best friend, and you’ll witness a difference almost immediately. Pisces knows how to treat you.
