IF JULY 15 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Friends and social activities might be the most important things on your calendar during the next four to six weeks. You might easily mistake someone’s common courtesy for romantic regard. Don’t be surprised if you experience a few setbacks or have your wings clipped during August. That is a poor time to initiate anything new because you may not be realistic or could be somewhat gullible. Late September and early November is the very best time to make major decisions or to put your best ideas into motion. You might be driven by ambition in late October and November but should avoid making major investments or career decisions. Wait until December or early January to make crucial changes and choices because you will have a better grasp of how to put your material ambitions into use.
