HOROSCOPE

YOU BORN TODAY You are kind-hearted and empathetic. You also are artistically inclined. Many of you will become a student or teacher this year, because your capacity for research and understanding is at its very best. It's a good time to reflect on the past and plan for the future. This will not tend to be a year of action, but rather a year of waiting and development.
