Horoscope
Happy birthday: for Saturday, Sept. 26. Intense, well-directed and hard-driving, your brilliant and thorough work survives well after your own lifetime. This year, the pandemic teaches you to be less obsessive, and you succeed in a different field. If single, your sense of humor attracts a special someone after mid-year. If attached, your very private bond only intensifies. You can be difficult to live with, and you correct that this year. PISCES likes to retreat too.
