A baby born today has a Sun in Virgo and a Moon in Libra.

Happy birthday for Friday, Aug. 25, 2017:
This year you consider making a major change at home. Some of you will be taking on new responsibilities, while others might want to lighten their load. Make sure the decisions you make will bring the results you desire. If you are single, you are likely to meet someone special in the next 12 months. Don’t push too hard for a commitment. If you are attached, it is clear that you feel somewhat put off by something your sweetie has said or done. Do not make assumptions; ask questions, if need be. LIBRA can make a great debater, if you want to discuss a hot topic.
