HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Feb. 12, 2017:

This year you are more likely to dream and have that dream become a reality. You have the ability to act on different possibilities. Your childlike side often emerges, which creates more excitement. Others are drawn to you, as you certainly are not boring to be around. If you are single, you will have your share of suitors all year long. You’ll need to figure out what type of relationship you want. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy each other’s company, but you don’t always agree. You have very different types of desires, yet the attraction between you remains strong and valid. VIRGO can be very fussy.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)
