IF SEPTEMBER 28 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY:

Friends may inspire you to get out of a rut as the next four to five weeks unfold, or you may be attracted to group activities where you can socialize. This might be a good time to sign up for events such as business seminars or to take an exercise class in person or virtually. The first half of January is a fortuitous time to put major plans into motion, as you will be wiser, luckier and more likely to receive support for your aims.
