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

The Sun in the planetary ruler of your sign and because you were born in the first Decan, or part, of the sign you experience twice the Sun’s influence. The Sun’s influence manifest in vitality, ego and creativity. The Sun’s influence connects to the relentless way in which you tackle your work and tasks. While others enjoy leisure, you feel incomplete if you are not moving on to the next job. These qualities allow you to take on any task and solve any problem with fortitude. You go to great lengths to hide your insecurities, instead choosing to cover them with pure outgoingness. Although you are not a fan of your sensitivity, don’t be afraid to share it with those closest to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
