HOROSCOPE<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your sign is paired with the air element, which plays a subtle but important role in your personality. Taking on the changing qualities of air, a sociable curiosity seems to come over you like a steady breeze. When the winds become stronger, your curiosity may evolve into an outright push for knowledge or justice. You should embrace these qualities as they are some of the most positive that the element of air has to offer. You should stay weary of the fact that not embracing the push of air, even at its lightest, can cause an unwanted distance and lack of emotion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
