This year you develop an interest in the fundamentals of life. You could become interested in psychology, research about life and death, and other studies that deal with the basics of living. If you are single, you will bond with someone very different who will facilitate the above-mentioned process. If you are attached, as a couple you might travel more and witness different lifestyles.
