Even small experiments will demonstrate that you know more than you think. You share a birthday with J.D. Salinger, Grandmaster Flash, and Verne Troyer. MARCH 21-APRIL 19 It’ll be easier to navigate a family or household situation if you don’t get emotionally involved.

AUG. 23-SEPT. 22 While you’re making New Year’s resolutions, don’t forget your social life. You need to be out among people; if not every day, then on some regular basis.
