IF APRIL 5 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You may be in the mood for a romantic vacation or some other form of escapism during the next 4-6 weeks. Because your head is in the clouds, this is not a good time for major decisions, as you could easily miss the fine print or see only what you want to see. In addition, what’s really important to you might undergo a tremendous change especially in May and June, when your popularity peaks and social activities buzz. Wait until late September or early October to make key changes and set plans into motion. That’s when you’ll be most able to accurately judge the consequences of your actions and get the most help from others.
