IF AUGUST 1 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Imaginative ideas and get-rich schemes could set a fire under your deepest ambitions during the next three to four weeks, but this is not the time to put your money at risk. Take a vacation or outline your dreams and wait for better timing to act. You might be exposed to important or influential people in October who spur you to greater success but make you restless for more excitement and less satisfied with your role in life. You might be carefree and buoyant in November when you have a chance to relax and rest on your laurels. The first half of December when your practical savvy might be at a peak could be the best time to launch crucial business plans or make practical and well thought out financial decisions.
