If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
The future looks bright, but unhurried – a welcome change from this past year’s madness. It’s all about doing well, making it all happen at the right time. Professionally, act with confidence, secure in the knowledge that the planets will serve you well. Even if there small setbacks, they won’t last long. There’s plenty of potential for romance; both in the areas of serious pursuits and delightful distractions. This next year also hints at a financial boost, with the source of your good fortune stemming from more than just one well.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Saturday 1st
It’s a week of personal growth, Aries – with enough cosmic cooperation to see you through. A little more perseverance is what’s needed, and we all know you’re not short on that. Just don’t place too much importance on money and possessions. Count your blessings, and know that life has more to offer than dollar signs.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Wednesday 5th
Excitement is in the air, and you sense it. The time’s right to turn dreams into reality. Start a new business – find a new job. Let loved ones spoil you. What’s to lose? Nothing. But there’s plenty to suggest fun and a fistful of cash. Finances look particularly promising, with a possible merger of love and business interests.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Tuesday 4th
Good one, Gemini. You’ve managed to make it to this point with much of your stability still intact. All you have to do now is keep your cards pinned close to your chest while doing business as usual. Two hints: don’t say more than you have to, and don’t try to fix what isn’t broken. This week, keep everything objective and balanced.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Sunday 2nd
You feel ambushed and perhaps being forced in directions you don’t want to go. Yet through all this, you’ll end up the winner. Fiesty Mars, for one, indicates victory. Truth is, you’re not really one to stand still for long. Romantically, too, there’s plenty to hope for. Even some friendships are in for a surprise shift of status, and nicely so.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Thursday 6th
You’re primed for change, Leo. Work offers new challenges; so your mission, should you choose to accept it – is to wield your professional strength with focus and integrity. At home, you get a sense of where you need to cut ties and move forward. There’s a strong need to clearly define your identity and personal boundaries.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Friday 30th
This week brings a better understanding of life’s quirkier rules, and you start to play the game more skilfully. Just don’t assume you know it all. After all, life is a constant journey – so stay open to new experiences and learning. You also get another chance to achieve goals which seemed elusive in the past.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Sunday 2nd
You’ve been moody for a while now, Libra – perhaps feeling a tad emotionally or financially abandoned. This week the cosmos presents even more demands. You may have to wrestle with extra challenges or there’s unfinished business to complete. Remember though, that you’re truly adored and those who truly love you will never let you down.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Saturday 1st
You’re exhausted Scorpio, and it’s a fair bet that relationship issues need sorting. But a chirpier Venus turns your attention away from life’s troubles. Give yourself permission to shift from social to solitary, and back again; depending on your mood. Both modes of operation will work for you now. Take time out for some pampering, too.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Tuesday 4th
People need predictability, so no one is going to be very happy if you’re constantly changing your mind. It’ll be harder still if you start talking about plans or proposals that very few can understand. Nor should you ignore the opinions of those closest to you. Their ideas may not be that different from your own.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Friday 30th
It is said that in life, timing is everything. Just the right words at the right time can heal, open doors – even open hearts. Being in the right place, too, is how we often are blessed with incredible opportunities. And when time is on our side, we can be powerful. So, go ahead Capricorn – be powerful.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Wednesday 5th
It’s strange how sometimes you can feel invisible, as if people are walking straight past or through you. Other times, you’re suddenly the centre of attention – when even strangers catch a second glance. Well, this week you’re both visible and magnetic. The planets offer the right encouragement to catch up with old friends and simply have fun.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Thursday 6th
Life has been a battle recently, with any gains being hard won. The trouble is, you’re a natural for taking on too much and others will happily load you up when you let them. As you step into the week early indications may not suggest any different, but a change is on its way. Work and business shoot skywards. As does your love life.
