2020-October-08, Phoenix (Oct 18 - Dec 2): You are desperate to put a name to your future plans and have no intention of letting anyone dictate terms.

Your amphibian spiritual guide Bolitoglossa sooyorum hopes that by day one of its range-extinguishing taxon it will be familiar with sites of daily use and of predators of B. lilies and other salamanders.
