Astrology: Take a look at your daily horoscope
Happy birthday:
for Sunday, Dec. 23. This year you have the ability to see both sides of an issue. The challenge remains to find a solution that is workable for you and the other party involved. If you are single, hopefully you won’t want to get into petty fights. You become more and more capable of having a quality bond with someone. If you are attached, the two of you could be working out some important issues. Once you clear the air, you and your sweetie will be very content with each other. LEO loves to remind you of the fun of kissing and making up.
