PISCES (Feb. 19-Mar. 20): You’ve got to start somewhere. It’s time to put aside the old and start a new project, new romance, or new routine. Any enterprises put into motion now are likely to succeed.
IF SEPTEMBER 18 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: During the next six to eight weeks your business sense is at an all-time high and a new circle of friends can help you achieve your ambitions. Widen your sphere of influence by joining a club or group where your input is appreciated. December is a good time to take a vacation and leave financial maneuverings on the back burner. Romantic ideas might blossom in February, but wait until late April or early May to make a crucial commitment or decision about your career or love life.
