CAREER: Executives and the self-employed make
sound decisions during the first days of January. Charting your course for
the year always comes first. You operate in a near-perfect vacuum until
the 22nd. Customers and committees may be at odds with your vision, but
you have to listen to them. For style- and trend-based careers, these are
interesting times. Enough is enough toward the end of February. After the
22nd, you settle comfortably into your groove. Your imagination does
stellar work within budgetary limits. You have a month to accomplish great
things.
Consider personal advancement at the Vernal Equinox. If
you don't like what you're doing, there are ways to change it. Job seekers
use a better offer to gain leverage with their current employer. You're
less eager to play with job security once the Sun comes to Taurus.
Workplace relations improve, especially for design professionals.
Salespeople stake out a different territory on May 3rd. For about two
weeks you're at the top of your game. Then the rules change. A deadline or
presentation around June 6th is the epicenter for this unrest. After this
point, your job becomes easier.
Plans run smoothly in late June, especially when you're
the boss or the expert. Between July 24th and August 23rd, authority is
challenged. Young or unstable employees find ways to act out during this
time. Around August 28th, promotions happen from the inside instead of
readjusting a balanced team around the unknown quirks and qualities of new
hires. Projects are iffy throughout most of September, and the company
infrastructure may be precarious. Everyone should understand the
importance of working together.
Loyalty is sacrificed for profit around September 27th.
In the long run, this equation is a losing proposition for everybody.
About a month later, you might claim the moral high ground. Even if the
players are completely different, redeem yourself by seizing this noble
opportunity. An event around November 8th throws a counter-intuitive
monkey wrench into your engine of commerce. It's business as usual if
you're paying attention. If the 23rd finds you faltering, it may take a
while to recover. A competitor's enthusiasm outshines your confidence.
Tune out the distractions on December 23rd. At the core, you still have
what it takes.
