Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, July 7, 2009: This year, the unexpected marks travel, learning and your abilities to empathize, understand and relate. Where you feel blocked and discouraged points to an area of opening. You pull the wild card in relationships. If single, you could meet someone quite different and exciting. If attached, could your sweetie be more uptight than in the past? Walk away from control or power games, yet still communicate. Capricorn often presents the opposite or very different type of solution to the same issue.
