HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Dec. 26, 2020:
Realistic, courageous and persevering, you are indomitable in reaching your success. It is often a slow burn, and in 2021 you bear more fruits from your labor. Careful and methodical in your approach, you do something quite radical. If single, you might remain so — until you connect physically with someone. If attached, your partnership is an adventure, although you like to be boss. CAPRICORN understands where you are coming from.
