If today is your birthday:

You yearn to try new things and are wise to listen to the dictates of your own heart during the upcoming five to six weeks. You could be thrilled by the prospect of greener pastures and you have the charm and talents to land a new job or make a crucial romantic commitment. However, your path may be blocked by past obligations in November or by taking on a heavy load of new responsibilities. If you do the “right thing” and avoid starting anything new you can get through this briefly troublesome period without repercussions. You could become the apple of someone’s eye in January and will receive plenty of attention from those in charge.
