HOROSCOPE

HAPPY BIRTHDAY:

This year you are likely to be your usual practical self. You also will be much more inclined to be social and present. Work with others to manifest at least one of your long-term dreams. If you are single, your dating life is active, but you might wonder at the oddness of some of the people you meet. If you are attached, you and your partner adore your time alone together. Make the most of these periods. Scorpio proves to be a great friend.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-dynamic; 4-positive; 3-average; 2-soso; 1-difficult.
