IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: This year you often feel tension build, yet you don’t have the control you want to ease the pressure. Know that you often judge yourself harshly and are your own source of stress. Do your best to let go of the difficult times. If you are single, you might be much more romantic than you had imagined, which you are likely to discover in the second part of the year. An intriguing person could stumble into your life at any moment. If you are attached, the two of you work on making your relationship flourish no matter what happens. Sometimes the structure of life might interfere with your bond. LIBRA understands you well.
