Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, July 9, 2011: An unanticipated development could define your year. In a sense, you are being freed up to live your life in a more authentic way. Some of you could change your chosen field. Others will strike out in a new direction. You will develop the support of one key individual, if you don’t already have it. If single, you could become involved in a special relationship. If attached, the two of you relate far more closely. Scorpio can be very deep yet fun.
