If today is your birthday:

During the upcoming three to four weeks you are energised and able to execute plans in a quick and forthright manner. In May you are filled with entrepreneurial spirit and possess all the right stuff to make a big splash with a career or business idea. Since your judgement is at its best this is an excellent time to make important decisions or to hook up with helpful people. Keep a low profile in June and July when you are likely to make poorly thought out business decisions or let your fantasies overcome clear thinking. Get your vacation out of the way before September when you can expect to have extra obligations or a larger workload than usual.
