HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, July 15, 2022. Our attention is pulled toward whatever feels fresh or original. We’re encouraged to adopt a more progressive attitude or future-focused way of life. The timing is perfect for breaking routine and shaking things up. At the same time, there could be uneasiness in the air due to uncertainty, an unexpected event or a stark realisation. All that being said, though, we can best take advantage of what the day has to offer by being curious and open-minded, as well as putting our differences aside and working together. Getting comfortable with change also will help to alleviate stress.

FOR TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

You’re a bit of a wild child. You don’t abide by anyone else’s rules unless there’s good reason. You’re more than happy to live your life at your own speed, doing your own thing. Still, you love your friends and your community, though you’re usually the one encouraging people to embrace their individuality. Although you might not always like to express your feelings, you can be one of the most caring people around. You just need to avoid being too hard on yourself. You’re an astute and original thinker. This year invites you to get the care and nurturing you need.
