Aries (March 21-April 19): A flock of admirers might cause you to scatter your energies like birdseed. You possess the determination and stamina to handle crucial projects, if you can focus. A significant other might offer up intriguing surprises.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Necessity is the mother of invention but also the father of convention. If you avoid conflicts with the status quo, you can earn the respect and admiration you seek. Keep your financial priorities straight.

to follow through on the necessary planning and hard work.

days. You could cast a temporary spell of enchantment over someone in the immediate vicinity. Make new friends and contacts.
if February 8 is your birthday: It might be too good to be true, so hold off on launching a business venture or making key changes during the next two to three weeks. Write down your ideas and use them at a later time. In late March and April, you should seek expert advice in order to not make a poorly thought-out financial decision. June is a much better time to exercise shrewd planning and financial maneuvering. Plan ahead, as August may be the best month to make irrevocable decisions and changes to your lifestyle. Any opportunity for advancement that is offered at this time might lead to long-term prosperity and lasting contentment.
