HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Oct. 20, 2018:
This year you become more openminded and more sensitive to others. Your popularity will grow to a new level because of these acquired traits. If you are single, you could get involved with someone who is not good for you. Clear out quickly, or you might miss that perfect-seeming someone heading your way. If you are attached, you and your partner might be more intertwined than you realize. As the year progresses, the depth of your bond becomes obvious. You take on an emotional project together. Pisces shares some important news with you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
