YOU BORN TODAY

You are clever, witty and quick. You are also a romantic. You will soon sense that you are wrapping up things you began nine years ago by letting go of what is no longer relevant and moving on to something new and different. Do not think of this as a time of loss. Au contraire. You are lightening your load to make room for new beginnings!
