If Your Birthday Is Today

Author Donna Tartt (1963) shares your birthday today. You are an excellent communicator. You are positive, helpful and resilient. This year you will take inventory and view your past triumphs and failures because you are finishing a nine-year cycle. Some of you will let go of people, jobs, places and things in order to move on to something new. Fortunately, it's a time of also moving away from heavy burdens. Whew!
