IF IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY TODAY

You may already be aware of what’s on its way out and, equally, sense what’s coming. Still, your actual birthday is the turning point. If you’ve been battling letting go, do it now. Ideally, today. The faster you act, the more swiftly the new will appear.

Virgo August 22 – September 21
