Last word on astrology

Happy Birthday: You’ll see situations from a different perspective this year. Mull over all possibilities before you make a move. Address how you use your skills and earn your living. Make updates that keep you motivated to learn and stay ahead of any competition you encounter. Don’t hold back if something bothers you, or you’ll get stuck in a no-win situation. Your numbers are 6, 13, 24, 29, 31, 37, 45.
