For Friday, March 23

Those with birthdays today: This year you are determined and direct. The problem often lies in the fact that you overworry or receive mixed messages. Stay focused on the goal. Creativity stems from your ability to touch base and deal with many people in your life. Learn to manifest your leadership characteristics while at the same time being understanding. If you are single, you open doors and see people differently. A friendship could be instrumental in developing a new relationship. If you are attached, your bond grows because of your ability to understand and give friendship. GEMINI has a lot to say, though you might not always want to listen. Give yourself permission to not respond.
