For Tuesday, Dec. 20

Those with birthdays today: Assume responsibility this year, and you will see the benefits, perhaps not this year, but the next. You have an inner strength and sixth sense that carries you through your major decisions. You are in the last year of an 11-year cycle. Consider what you want to bring with you into the next luck cycle. Leave behind what isn’t working. If you are single, you will meet people with ease, but especially through your work and community responsibilities. If you are attached, you will need to include your sweetie more often in your activities or thoughts if you want to maintain the quality of your relationship. VIRGO can burden you with their work and responsibilities.
