HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Oct. 29, 2020:
Persuasive, thorough and influential, you come to your work with fresh ideas. Many of you possess an exceptional ability, and this year, by staying humble, you do extremely well. Beware of disloyalty from a professional foe-friend. If single, love comes to the rescue, and a healthy and loving relationship begins in the spring. If attached, stay so. An old flame can reignite, but a past pattern repeats. VIRGO grounds you.
