IF OCTOBER 21 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY:

Your imagination might be in overdrive in the upcoming two to three weeks, making this a perfect time for a vacation or a weekend retreat to satisfy your romantic or creative cravings. However, be careful of wishful thinking in early November, as it could lead to disappointment with changes or decisions you make. Your focus may shift to material success and moneymaking ideas by late November, though they might not bring immediate satisfaction. Consider spending more time with like-minded people in December to get your priorities straight. January may see your enthusiasm and competitiveness rise, but avoid being too aggressive. February is likely the best time to launch major projects or make changes that can have a lasting and beneficial impact.
