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

Your sign’s ruling planet is Mercury, but as you were born in the first Decan, or part, of the sign, you actually have twice Mercury’s influence. Mercury is the planet of communication, which explains your mental agility and exceptional social skills. You use your mental ability in all aspects of your life, especially in work and in caring for others. Your planetary influence allows for your innate ability to lock into a task, rarely missing a single detail. Although your material pursuits are an important part of your sense of success, make sure to develop close relationships. You are loyal and dependable in relationships and you must find others that share in these values.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
