18): You may connect with someone better in certain seasons but other seasons have potential. Sometimes, you have to jiggle and prod to find the “click” again.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Relationships have their flashpoints. The tensions expressed are almost never about the topics being discussed. Dig deeper.

Today’s birthday (July 11): Your confidence blossoms as you experience the grace of mutual support. As you build relationships with those who show strong interest in you and what you do, you’ll find there’s no need to chase. You’ll move forward when you feel the “click” of togetherness and then love rains down on your world. Scorpio and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 2, 22, 24 and 18.
