HOROSCOPE |

YOU BORN TODAY You are optimistic, kind and generous. You also are alert and observant of your surroundings. This year you will take inventory and view your past triumphs and failures, because you are finishing a nineyear cycle. Some of you will let go of people, jobs, places and things in order to move on to something new. Fortunately, it's a time of also moving away from heavy burdens. Whew!
