If Your Birthday Is Today

TV chef/author Julia Child (1912-2004) shares your birthday today. You are a doer and a born leader who is commanding and decisive. You have a personality that commands attention and respect. This is a testing year of growth and building. This growth will occur beneath the surface. Do not make major changes yet — wait until next year. Strengthen your financial position by reducing your overhead.
