Horoscopes

For Monday, July 12, 2004. Those with birthdays today: You have a charming manner, which helps you make money and gain professionally. You have much more going for you than you realize. You might spend or need more time alone than usual, whether to read, meditate or ponder issues. Your private time will contrast with highly gregarious periods. If you’re single, you socialize and meet a lot of people. If you are attached, the tie between you will be enhanced this year. Reveal more of your private thoughts. Gemini is your natural healer.
