IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY:

Friends and social activities can distract you from important tasks as the next six to eight weeks unfold. Hold off on making major decisions or changes in January or early February. That is when you should knuckle down to achieve your ambitions but when taking on extra responsibilities could slow you down. By taking your time you will bypass certain pitfalls and errors. You will find much more fertile ground during late February and early March to plant the seeds of business ideas, set key plans into motion, or gain the ear of influential people. Vacations and romantic getaways are highlighted in May.
