Your birthday year may seem challenging at first, leading you to believe that things are harder than they actually are, but if you can be patient, you will reap great rewards later. August looks to be one of your best months in a long time, as you creatively blossom in the world, and express yourself in fun and exciting ways. This process will lead to many new opportunities in work, love and your home life, particularly during mid- to late fall. The more you can maintain your commitment this year to those things that are important to you in life, the greater your rewards will be later. Overall, patience and persistence will pay off more than trying to push things forward too quickly.
