If today is your birthday: Beaming confidence and polished business sense will make you a likely candidate for enormous success in the year to come. Right now, you can plan successfully for the future and accept opportunities or offers that come your way. But your romantic fantasies or an attractive someone who has recently arrived on the scene might distract you from what is most important. Be sure to keep your promises and don't ignore any strings that are attached to a business deal between August and January. A new romance that appears on the scene in the early fall might seem like gold. Be sure to test the surface to make sure it isn't merely a veneer. In February, your business savvy and street smarts will help you appear proficient in any area and you can impress people in high places with admirable credentials.
