IF NOVEMBER 18 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Your eager-beaver attitude could win applause and a few extra pennies in the piggy bank between now and the end of the year. This is a good time to be diligent about your work and attentive to your financial interests. In February and March the focus of your life may alter. You may become dissatisfied with the status quo or feel blocked in some way and this may make you thirst for more excitement in your life. You will develop many new insights and new friends during this time period, but wait until May, when you will have Lady Luck rooting for your team, to make irrevocable decisions about the future.
