If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
In recent months, you’ve worked harder than usual, but it looks like you’re just warming up as your winning streak continues. Now that you’ve found your own special style, stick with it. Socially, you’re vivacious and your popularity goes a long way towards advancing your professional and romantic ambitions. As career goals unfold, many talents are revealed. Some manage a clever juggling act, with more than one job – possibly reaching out as far as overseas. First, though, you need to give the past a decent burial. Also ensure that loved ones aren’t neglected. Shared involvement is important.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Monday 2nd
If there’s one thing you’ve learned recently, it’s that you can survive – despite the cliff-edge dramas you’ve had to endure. Hardly surprising. Even when times get tough, Ariens maintain their passion and persistence – tremendous assets in this busy week when instinct and intellect make a powerful duo.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Wednesday 4th
At last there’s an honest breath of fresh air in your relationships, allowing you to comfortably be yourself. This week offers an easier run, though there are no promises regarding how long this will last. If new love makes an entrance, it’s most likely through an unusual connection, someone from overseas or with a vastly different lifestyle.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Tuesday 3rd
The cosmos advises against compromise this week, for good reason. Being pushed into not-so-satisfactory situations or having to take the blame at work because of someone else’s mistakes is not acceptable. The cosmos helps those who help themselves, so stand your ground and and make your thoughts heard.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Sunday 1st
Break down any emotional barriers that have grown between yourself and loved ones. Don’t be too proud to ask for help. If asked, friends will go out of their way to offer support. Over the years, others have truly appreciated your generosity. So give them a chance to repay all your own good deeds and favours. You’re much loved.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Saturday 31st
Leos focus on finances right now, giving you an opportunity to increase income. Start saving now and you’ll soon have plenty to spare for that proverbial rainy day. Jobs connected with finances or the media do particularly well. Ditto for those linked with health care. Romantically, many discover a hot new stamping ground.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Thursday 5th
Virgos step into a week loaded with ambition. Don’t worry about any extra demands made on you. You now have all the right qualities to meet any challenges. After all, you’re used to switching from low to high gear – and then back again. Even so, don’t be totally drawn into life’s busy commotion – you can stop for the odd breather.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Friday 30th
With go-getter Mars in your sleepy twelfth house, your energy could be flagging. Be gentle with yourself this week, so no midnight bingeing on work or play. You’ll be most productive when you listen to the gentler cues of your body, soaking in a hot bath or taking an afternoon off if the situation calls for it. Hit the snooze button, Libra.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Sunday 1st
This is the perfect time for networking, updating your style, or if attached – taking things to the next level. Singles, too, should strike while the iron is hot. Money, however, may cause concern. Tired of having little or nothing to show for your work, you take a harder stance with finances, and start saving.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Tuesday 3rd
Many Sagittarians have been truly unnerved by recent troubles. Let’s face it, you’ve struggled. Of course, you’ve grown as a person though, at the time – that may have been seen as little consolation. The good news is that this week gives you the chance to move forward. Once again, you’re motivated and headed towards success.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Wednesday 4th
Just when you’re searching for a deeper meaning in life, the world shows itself to be more shallow than you’d imagined. Partners could easily play a part in this. Don’t worry. Nothing’s permanent – disappointment included. Even though that right sense of balance can be elusive, luck turns your way again next week.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Saturday 31st
Have you been dipping into your savings just a little too often? This week could be a great time to get really serious about your budget, expenditure and saving habits. Act as if the rainy day is here; and to avoid money quarrels, be on your best spending behaviour. Week’s end hints at romance that’s attentive, sexy.…and maybe a tad illicit?
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Monday 2nd
This week, keep an ear to the ground and your mouth shut. There’s some gossip around, and it could be about you – so don’t be in a hurry to disclose your thoughts or secrets – let others reveal their intentions first. Keep yourself at a safe distance from troublemakers and don’t expect others to live up to their promises.
