If today is your birthday:

For the next six weeks you might seesaw between being friendly and gregarious and being competitive. The second half of June or early July is a good time to push for advancement with your career or to develop sound business and financial strategies. In late July and August your ambitions take priority, so you may be willing to work diligently to prove you have what it takes to succeed. You will have both the vision and the shrewdness to make your dreams come true. In September you might be tremendously gullible or easily sidetracked. Somehow you will put business and social needs into their proper perspectives, but a new romance might simply be a passing fling. November isn’t a good time to launch major initiatives or make major purchases since a lack of confidence could undermine your efforts.
