Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, July 16, 2012: This year you swing from being introverted to extroverted. You also waver between being intellectual and highly emotional. You’ll want to live out a dream that could involve travel and/or a foreigner. If single, you certainly have the capacity to confuse someone. If attached, plan a special trip or event that the two of you often have spoken about. Gemini understands you nearly too well. A baby born today has a sun in Cancer and a moon in Gemini if born before 8:31 p.m. Afterward, the moon will be in Cancer.
