Today's Birthday (06/22/16). You're especially lucky with words this year. Creative expression flowers. Discipline at work reaps long-term benefit. A two-year cycle emphasizing home and family begins this autumn, as good news propels you down a new road in your studies and travels. Cash flow kinks over winter preclude an amazing discovery. Explore love.
