Happy birthday:
for Saturday, May 18. This year, you open up to more interaction. Sometimes, you hear so much that you will want to withdraw. Reach out for a loved one or friend at a distance more often. You often gain clarity from speaking to this person. If single, you could meet someone who wants to be yours. You will need to make a clear decision if you want to pursue a bond.
