HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, December 17, 2022. Although the weekend is usually good for socialising and catching up with folks, today has an antisocial kind of vibe. As such, it might help to be a bit selective about the company we keep today. Romance, public events and get-togethers may fall flat or offer up little enjoyment, especially if we’re in a funky mood. However, those of us looking for some much needed me-time may end up faring a whole lot better. Keeping to ourselves or going off-grid today can be useful in avoiding petty bickering and unnecessary stress.
