Happy birthday for Friday, June 9, 2023. Friday brings us much calmer skies than we’ve had in the past couple of days. With the relaxed vibe, we might feel like getting the weekend started early. If we do have work scheduled, we should find that we’re able to move along and get things done seamlessly. Creativity and compassion are also strong for today, which can be good for engaging in activities that stir the heart and the imagination, like seeing a good movie or doing something romantic for our partner. Toward the evening, we may opt for some low-key fun rather than anything over the top.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) – If money has been on your mind, expect a blessing today that brings you some sense of peace. It’s also a good day to pay it forward for someone.
