(June 22-July 22). You’ll give your knowledge to others today. Everything counts.(July 23-Aug. 22). It takes some trick to turn the conversation the way you want it to go, but you’ve a few up your sleeve.(Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Who is taking care of you? This is what you wonder as you spread your care here and there.(Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The sound of aligned interests is often “haha-ha.” Solidarity will be shown through humor, and laughter will be not only a sweet sound but a sign of successful group endeavors to come.(Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The relationship used to be different. The way it used to be is still inside there, waiting like the surprise center, the smallest Russian nesting doll in the set, the only really solid version of the whole bunch.(Nov. 22Dec. 21). You’ll never be sorry for employing civility.(Dec. 22-Jan. 19). As far as the “haves” and “have-nots” go, it’s a tricky matter. The “haves” will appear to be rich in certain things that most people want. Yet the “havenots” may be wealthier in the things that matter.
