If today is your birthday:

You have the ambition, but not necessarily the know-how, to put successful career or business tactics into motion in the next five to six weeks. Wait until April to make crucial investment or business decisions and to put key projects and plans into motion successfully. In May you may be inspired to turn a hobby into a moneymaking effort or you may simply be contented with a romantic weekend built for two. July can be an excellent time to take extra steps to ensure your financial security. A new circle of friends can uplift your heart in September, when travel or an educative experience can brighten your life.
