There's no need for New Year's resolutions this time around -- you'll be totally driven to get the job done as soon as 2005 kicks in. Friends might have a hard time pulling you away from your job (or your job search, if that's where you're at), but it will all be worth it as you make unbelievably swift progress. The cycle draws to a close on March 4th -- schedule a vacation soon after, or people might start to think you're a robot. Your reputation will actually soar if you take time off. Lunar madness may strike around your birthday, so be ready for some serious rethinking about your feelings vis-a-vis work and your place in the world. It's an excellent time to jump ship and cast in your lot with a new boss -- or go freelance, if that's your dream. Immediately after Tax Day is the best time to start something new, but you'll do fine at just about any point. You may have felt somewhat constricted early in the year, but as July rolls around you'll start to stretch out and explore your new territory. Business travel is a definite possibility through the summer, as is a sudden increase in responsibilities. The middle of August will bring you a new opportunity that will be exciting, but not completely unexpected. Jump on it, no matter how happy you are -- the ride will be exhausting but fulfilling, and your resume will suddenly look ten times more appealing to employers. You might feel like settling into a routine for the autumn, but that's not likely to happen. Your dynamic style will attract attention from on high during the week before Halloween, and you might shift career tracks within the same business or industry. Don't worry -- you'll have plenty of say in the matter. The winter holidays will treat you well, and you should expect a good bonus for the year's efforts. You might feel a little restless and itching for a return to a normal schedule by the end of the year, though.
