MONDAY’S HOROSCOPE

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, May 17, 2021:

You are a caring person who is charming and thoughtful. You are helpful to others but you’re also independent. You have focus, self-discipline and strong opinions. At this stage in your life, you see that you have to let go of things that are no longer useful or meaningful. Look around you. Time to downsize!

about shared property.
