FOR TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Your tenderness and generosity are a big part of who you are and the way you live your life. To you, love is a strength, not a weakness; you believe in its power and the impact that it can have. You encourage others around you to be more empathetic and understanding. This is not to say that you are overly idealistic in any way; you succeed because you know how to marry creativity and pragmatism. This year, a big win or a personal victory is in the stars for you. Aim high!
