Happy birthday for Thursday October 31, 2019:
This year, you move into a new direction, but you might hesitate at first. You see the benefits of planning as well as those of taking risks. If single, you meet people with ease; however, finding the right person for the type of bond you desire will take time. If attached, the two of you seem to be able to work through many of your differences. Always respect new and different ideas that come from your sweetie. Use care with a budget that can often go off the rails if you listen to a SAGITTARIUS.
