IF NOV. 21 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: The upcoming two to three weeks can be an excellent time to make progress with both your material and spiritual goals. Your life can take a turn for the better if you accept an offer or take advantage of an opportunity that drops in your lap. This beneficial change of direction may help you weather opposition to your plans in the last half of December and allow you the freedom to enjoy a romantic interlude or pleasant vacation in early January. Because you may be friendlier and more outgoing than usual, you are likely to meet stimulating and inspiring people as February approaches. However, do not begin any important new projects, make major changes or ignore the rules in February when any error or omission such as forgetting to pay a bill could have unpleasant consequences. Financial and business success may elude you until March when you should have enhanced street smarts and be able to make intelligent decisions with new investments and major purchases.
