HOROSCOPE
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Jan. 1, 2021:
Sensitive, organized and brutally honest, you’re a complex individual. You succeed this year by not bottling up your emotions but by sharing them. Your work reflects this and receives accolades. If single, patience is key, as you can decide on a mate impulsively. This year, you meet someone very different. It is fate. If attached, you’re connected at the hip. Breathing space is sometimes essential. SCORPIO gives you necessary distance.
