For Tuesday, June 29, 2004. Those with birthdays today: You understand what many don’t. Your creativity and willingness to work hard mix to make you a sure winner. Often, you take on too much responsibility or overburden yourself with what is on your plate. If you are single, a relationship will flourish if you can lighten up. Don’t feel the need to impress others. Just be available. Go out with friends often. If you are attached, your relationship will heat up considerably if you develop more openness and learn to be less uptight. Talk about what bothers you. Share often. Changes to your home this fall and winter make both of you happy.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
