HOROSCOPE

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Dec. 21, 2020:

Powerful, intuitive and private, you’re intensely directed toward your goal. You wait longer to achieve it — latter half of 2021 — but when you do, it is brilliant, and you can feel proud. If single, you are sensual and have broken hearts in the past. You will be in a passionate relationship without committing this year. If attached, you’re in bliss and sharing inner fantasies together. TAURUS doesn’t like walking on eggshells.
