IF FEBRUARY 23 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You may consider yourself a wiser businessperson in the weeks ahead, and you might feel more knowledgeable than usual about finances and negotiations. Consider taking a break from your strategies, however, in late March and April to focus on making an impression on key people. Your charm may be at its height, so you could land a new project or take a romantic relationship to a higher level of commitment. You might be offered an opportunity for advancement or have better luck than usual in late June. This could possibly be a time to put crucial plans into motion or make key decisions since your wisdom may feel accelerated. Avoiding crucial changes or commitments in late June could help you stay clear and alert to things coming your way. Early August might bring an opportunity for a carefree vacation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Life is like a rodeo; you may thrive on seizing opportunities head-on and taking the bull by the horns. Your energetic approach to tasks could catch the eye of your superiors. Be ready to make some executive decisions on the fly.
