If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
This should be a delightful year, Gemini. This planets’ influence brings a carefree pace to your life, as well as a taste for luxuries. But the year isn’t totally lacking in progress. There’s plenty of work for those who want it. Ditto for family responsibilities. A long-distance affair could also turn out easier than you have imagined. For singles ready to settle, the cosmos now gives you the chance to find love. More importantly, you won’t settle for anyone less than the very best. Apparently, the fun may start as soon as next month. Also be prepared for impulsive visits, or travel.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Saturday 8th
If someone is suddenly taking potshots at you, it’s because you’ve only just come into their sights. Being noticed has its upside, but it also finds you in the cross-hairs. Envious colleagues are happy to gun down your dreams. Sidestep – swiftly and often. And there’s no need to broadcast your innermost thoughts. Keep everything under wraps.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Monday 10th
No one can accuse you of not pulling your weight. You’ve been working long and hard, so stay primed for special surprises. Perhaps a pay increase, or a small lotto win? Many Taureans also seem to be back in touch with every friend on the planet. Singles may find romance through family connections. Fun follows.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Sunday 9th
If given a second chance at ventures that previously didn’t go so well, figure out who’s best at what, and drum up a solid sense of teamwork. Should love or benefits come your way, accept with gratitude. In the same spirit, give openly and rewards will return when you most need them. Best news: some experience a gentle stroll down memory lane.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Wednesday 12th
It’s time to put up your defences, avoid stress and schedule time out for doing the things you love. This isn’t the right week to plan major moves or take on extra responsibilities. Instead, lighten your load and postpone difficult decisions. A change of scenery or a quick holiday would help to ease an overwrought mind.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Thursday 13th
So you’ve managed to harness your wilder ambitions? This means lucrative times ahead. If you’re on a career path, push it for all it’s worth. Financial prospects look bright – and a penchant for speculation should show some great returns. Ditto with your love life. Couples should forgive past misgivings, and don’t be afraid to express your emotions.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Friday 7th
Virgos are well known for voicing their views. Some admire this confidence, others find it annoying. Any opposition, however, just fuels your obstinacy – especially if you’re convinced that you’re right. This week, stay flexible and accommodate others’ needs as well as your own. Middle ground can be found.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Wednesday 12th
You know your strengths, but occasionally – they abandon you. In a way it’s like stage fright – where the ability to perform is overridden by self consciousness. Not so this week – which allows most Librans to make a fabulous impression in dazzling style. Update your image and pay closer attention as to who appears on your scene and who leaves it.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Tuesday 11th
Supposedly, everyone is innocent until proven guilty. But should your suspicions be aroused this week, no one gets the benefit of the doubt. Being so astute, it’s all-but impossible to get the better of you. If necessary, release any excess tension via a healthy fitness regime. You should also treat yourself to at lease one luxury.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Thursday 13th
You’re probably feeling better, Sagittarius – as there’s a noticeable increase on your “can-do” list. This could be some higher spiritual element creeping into the equation. What ever’s happening, you’re tapping into something extraordinary. With good fortune on side as well, why not take a risk or two? Use all blessings to your advantage.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Sunday 9th
Just when you thought everything was going well, a new setback tests you. Don’t panic, Capricorn. You have the tenacity to get through this. You’ve worked too long and hard to even consider surrender. You’re prepared to take all necessary measures to claim triumph. And conquer, you will.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Saturday 8th
Love sidles closer this week, and it’s unlikely to be a tame entanglement. What’s more, the attraction should be mutual, with no end to the emotions you can explore. The professional pace? Equally active. Fortunately, few can handle creative challenges better than you. And soon, there could also be something very special to celebrate.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Tuesday 11th
A caring cosmos keeps a watchful eye on your progress, helping to restore what was previously taken or forfeited. The most prized recovery? Your self-esteem. With the struggle of recent situations now easing, options expand. Improve your chances by taking the initiative. Your instincts now send the correct message, loud and clear.
