Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, July 24, 2012: This year you are on cruise control until a key person seems to throw a boomerang in your direction. As you become more flexible, you won’t be able to predict when a surprising situation or person could enter your life. If single, do not count on anyone entering your life for the long term in 2012. If attached, your sweetie seems very different this year; he or she might become quite zany. Strap on your seat belt, and try to remain calm – this is just a phase. Libra has a romantic perspective on nearly everything. A baby born today has a sun in Leo and a moon in Libra all day.
