Fall is just around the corner, but today grants us another opportunity to enjoy a leisurely summer day. It’s the kind of day that’s great for physically active fun, mini-adventures, and hanging out with friends. For anyone who’s more interested in spending time at home, activities like watching movies and documentaries, taking online classes, or working on a creative project are all useful ways to take advantage of the current astrological weather. Romance and dating continue to be cosmically supported, too.

FOR TODAY’S BIRTHDAY
You possess a powerful mind. You can turn your dreams and visions into reality through your discipline, perseverance and brainpower. You know how to put a plan together and execute it with precision. Your tried-and-true methods often enable you to reach your goals, but learning how to step out on faith from time to time can also help you to achieve success. You’re a dynamic and dedicated person who will stop at nothing to be the best you can be, but for this year, try practicing more compassion for yourself.
