For Friday, July 26

This year you develop a new understanding of the value of a partnership in your life. Though you can be very hard on this person — and vice versa — you also thrive because of each other’s honesty and knowledge. If you are single, you could meet someone very special. If you are attached, spend more quality time with your sweetie.
