Happy birthday:
While money may not exactly be a prob-
lem for you, devoting some time and
energy to managing it is still necessary.
If you are not careful with your budget,
this may lead to a dire financial situa-
tion in the future. Your lucky numbers:
3, 6, 9, 12, 16.Leo (Jul 23 - Aug 22)
A blind date may prove to be
very different than what you
anticipated. Whether this
is good or bad all depends
on your point of view. Why not be a bit
more adventurous for a change? The
stars will shine down on you when it
comes to money. ✭✭✭✭Virgo (Aug 23 - Sep 22)
A family member might
have something important
they wish to discuss with
you. Do whatever you need
to do to help them relax and open up to
you. The color red will act as a warning
sign. ✭✭✭Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22)
Continuing to ignore your
problems will only make
things worse. It’s time for
you to face these challenges
head on. Sure there is no guarantee of
success, but the alternative is not a solu-
tion. ✭✭Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21)
You will find yourself over-
flowing with energy today.
While this is great for you,
you may end up stressing
people out if you make them feel that
they have to keep up with you. Let oth-
ers know that they can move at their
own pace. ✭✭✭Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 21)
You often consider what
makes others happy and
go to great lengths to
make these things hap-
pen. However, you are less welcoming
when others try to return the favor. Why
not let someone take care of you for a
change? ✭✭✭Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 19)
Financial issues may cause
you some trouble. It might
be boring, but take some
time out tonight to review
your budget. ✭✭✭Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 18)
This will be a good time to
sit down and discuss the
future with your loved ones.
Focus on the pros and cons
of moving in a new direction. No matter
what decision you reach, make sure you
reach it together. Good fortune is head-
ing your way. ✭✭✭Pisces (Feb 19 - Mar 20)
Someone is looking to
take you down, so tread
carefully. You will have to
work hard to keep your
reputation spotless today. A change in
your diet or routine will increase your
happiness. ✭✭✭Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 19)
Carefully consider all the
consequences before taking
action today. Your luck is
looking up when it comes
travel. Why not take a trip to some-
where you have always wanted to go?
✭✭✭✭Taurus (Apr 20 - May 20)
Do not be afraid to open up.
Holding on to your anger
will only end up hurting
you. Whatever is bother-
ing you, just let it go. Opportunities to
find love are coming over the horizon.
✭✭✭Gemini (May 21 - Jun 20)
A friend may be having a
hard time getting used to
recent changes. Do what you
can to comfort him or her.
Do what you can to take part in social
activities that will allow you to interact
with others. ✭✭✭Cancer (Jun 21 - Jul 22)
Waiting for someone else
to make things happen will
only end up wasting your
time. It’s up to you to push
things forward. Today will be a good
time to reexamine your long-term goals.
