HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Dec. 6, 2020:
Perceptive, pragmatic and optimistic, you’re so capable that you succeed in a year where others find only challenges. You do even better in 2022. If single, you are picky in your choices, and this year you don’t find anyone who matches up to your standards. If attached, you’re both devoted and practical and help your partner as much as he or she helps you. LIBRA tries to make life beautiful.
