If December 19 Is Your Birthday

During the next two weeks, you may be filled with entrepreneurial spirit. Your leadership skills might feel enhanced, while you may possess all the right stuff to make a big win in any competition. Keep a low profile in January when you could be likely to make poorly thought-out business decisions. Be careful of aggravating a key person by being too vague or oversensitive. By mid-February, your intelligence may be back on track and built up to an inflection point; you may make savvy decisions with a career, financial, or business idea. This could be a good month to develop lasting friendships, or you might join an organization later in March. You might feel more optimistic and may receive beneficial opportunities. Any new projects initiated in April could likely flounder due to a lack of planning or restrictive rules.
