For Thursday, Sept. 12

This year you seem to flow like a wave over any obstacles in your life path. If you are single, the determining factor won’t be others’ physical desirability, but rather who you would choose for a good time and a deep, meaningful friendship. If you are attached, you might integrate more “couple time” into your lives.
