If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
Chances are you’ve felt trapped by regulations lately but, this year, the cosmos gives you a chance to break free. This could mean letting go of old grievances, so be ready to forgive and forget – as you may find that when one door closes, another opens. As well as professional progress, expect material gain. Counter any temptation towards high living with moderation and a healthy diet.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Sunday 11th
It’s time for you to put up your defences, avoid stress and schedule some 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 relationship showdowns or difficult career decisions.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Friday 9th
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 Taureans to make a fabulous impression in dazzling style – more so after the 15th.
Gemini (May 21 to June 21)
Best Day: Monday 12th
Everyone has their own unique stories about how things happened. Before you leap to conclusions – untangle any confusion first, or you’ll never know the real facts. Personal decisions after the 15th mark a fresh start. Who you are and what you now embrace will influence your life for years to come.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Thursday 15th
This week’s planetary movements send a signal that you’re beginning a new chapter in your life. All types of opportunities may be introduced, urging you to update your resume and pay closer attention as to who appears on your scene and who leaves it. Some can expect surprising life shifts and changes.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Wednesday 14th
There’s much to be said for routine, but the same thing day-in-day-out can bind past and present into a blur of blandness. So this week’s hint of romance, creativity or, perhaps, travel arrive just in time. Throw yourself wholeheartedly into the options on offer – you are truly deserving.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Sunday 11th
Even if relationships, work pressures or your finances are causing sleepless nights – try to put your mind at rest. Once you stop expecting the worst, your life will fall into place. The planets promise success but it will take time and patience before the rewards eventuate. Don’t lose heart – instead, lose some of the weight on your shoulders.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Saturday 10th
Despite the pressure, pace yourself or health may suffer. You’re meant to be productive Libra – not manic. Also beware of double standards. Equal rights must be extended to others. By the new moon on the 16th, life feels more settled. Relax into this unhurried few days – guilt free.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Friday 9th
True to your sign, you feel especially strong-willed – even stubborn, this week. Embrace it, Scorpio. Such single-mindedness could open new career doors, or even make you money. And soon, there could also be something very special to celebrate. Cheers to that!
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Wednesday 14th
Surround yourself with close friends and family, Sagittarius. You’re suppressing emotions instead of airing them. Give those worries and fears a voice. It’s time to trust others. A cliche, perhaps – but a problem shared is a problem halved. Release that tension.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Thursday 15th
You might be feeling better, Capricorn – 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. Use all blessings to your advantage.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Tuesday 13th
There’s a solar eclipse occurring in your sign after the 15th, making internal alarm bells ring. This means the cosmos is making an effort to create a new you, by attempting to detach you from any person, place or thing that no longer suits you. You’ll soon start an emotional or physical journey – ready or not!
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Saturday 10th
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 passionate. Fortunately, few can handle creative challenges better than you.
