RESIDENT BIRTHDAYS

HOROSCOPE

If you were born between November 22nd

and December 21st, you were born under the sign of the

Sagittarius. Sagittarius is most popularly known to represent freedom, exploration, and adventure.

It’s a big picture way of living that is, in many ways, incurably optimistic. Sagittarians believes that

there is an opportunity for growth and expansion in everything. Sagittarians do not only consider

physical or formal educational experiences as sources of knowledge, they also are drawn to

philosophy and religion as paths to insights about themselves and others.
