For Monday, July 25, 2005:

Those with birthdays today: You might feel that you are carrying more responsibility than you would like. You need to decide what works for you and what you need. You are entering a new 29-year luck cycle. Eliminate what you need to. Fatigue and bone problems sometimes come with this cycle. Take good care of yourself. Don’t get aggravated by petty details. Detach and don’t get triggered. If you are single, an intense relationship is likely. Test the waters with time. If you are attached, you might feel a bit colder or off about your sweetie. Talk and mend your differences. Remember, it takes two to have a problem. ARIES helps you see the other side.
