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

Your unique combination of emotional understanding, creativity and optimism result in a variety of available career paths. Humanitarian careers, such as teaching or social work would help to give your life purpose. If you cannot go without a more creative outlet, writing or the arts may be the answer. Look to the imaginative characters and comedic writings of Will Ferrel, who was also born on July 16th, as inspiration. The creative dancing of Ginger Rogers, another of your birthday twins, can also serve as encouragement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
