YOUR DAY
This is a day for breaking the ice. You can infiltrate areas of interest by being upfront and taking a little more initiative. Because the energy is both receptive and responsive, ambitions are easier to achieve.
YOUR BIRTHDAY
Jupiter fires up ambition and you seek a change of scene, career or lifestyle. Play the diplomat role when talking to influential people but draw the line at grovelling. You should experiment before making a move.
