Happy Birthday for Wednesday, Dec. 25, 2024:
You are diligent, hardworking and sometimes a perfectionist. You’re also the peacemaker. This year is the last year of a nine-year cycle, which means you are letting go of what is no longer relevant to begin something fresh in 2025. Stay flexible to be open to new opportunities.
