FOR TODAY’S BIRTHDAY You need to be free to be yourself. This is why you do best in relationships with people who appreciate your independence. When you’re not busy entertaining friends and meeting new people, you’re hard at work on your next goal or idea. Offering guidance to others is also something that you do well. As a result, you might often find yourself in leadership or advisory roles not only because you’re competent and capable, but also because you have a way of bringing out the best in others. This year, expect to be reminded of just how powerful you really are.
