If Today is Your Birthday
Forecast for 2007-2008
Born September 25
You are filled with energy, courage, and drive this year--sometimes to the point of excess. The drive to achieve is strong, making this a super year for courageously going after what you want in life. Physical activity and ambitious projects are a must in order to channel excess energy into healthy endeavors. Avoid overstrain. The ability to express yourself more efficiently and meaningfully is with you. Getting your finances and your love life in order plays a big role. Ups and downs and a few disappointments in these areas of life are likely, but dramatic improvements are the end result.
