HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2020:
Inspirational, attractive and witty, you’re distinctly different from those around you. It’s your singular journey this year that makes you successful. Once your thoughts and emotions are balanced, there is even more success. If single, you need to ask yourself what you really want, as relationships don’t often work for you. If attached, you laugh and have fun with your partner, who adores you. TAURUS satisfies your need for stability.
