If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
Saturn is throwing its weight around most of the the zodiac, suggesting a disciplined time ahead for just about everyone, except you. While others spend the next few months floundering in angst – you’re blessed with new friendships and the fulfilment of long held dreams. About time, too. In recent years, many Sagittarians have all-but disappeared from the social scene. You have been truly missed, and are welcomed back with strong and supportive arms. So this birthday season, make a special wish – you just may get it. Indulge in plenty of pampering, too.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Saturday 12th
This week becomes downright frenzied – a time when no one quite knows what everyone else is up to, or why. But this is pretty much the case when you pitch a group of power planets up against solar eclipse emotions. But trying to enlist help is a waste of time – you’ll get better sense out of children. Do what you do best, and take charge.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Monday 14th
It’s one of those times when you feel like disconnecting your devices and leaving the door locked. But your reclusive behaviour shouldn’t be mistaken for the blues. It’s more a case of needing some time out for contemplation before the festive rush. With luck, everyone will respect that. By week’s end a solar eclipse pushes on, and so do you.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Friday 11th
With this week’s solar eclipse, it’s definitely not the time to flirt with danger, make important decisions or try to reconcile relationship issues. The week ahead requires decisive handling as cosmic forces close the gates on unviable projects. There may be disappointments, arguments or financial setbacks. If so, just let go.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Tuesday 15th
It’s a perfect week for multitasking; a time when few details – no matter now minor, escape your attention. A growing pile of publications and emails clutter your environment. Relationships with siblings and close family could also improve. Travel’s on the agenda, especially short day trips related to work or family matters.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Friday 11th
Cosmic forces allow you to reclaim your stride. Still, expect the occasional hurdle. Romantically, make your move after the 15th, when there’s a better chance of success. Mid-week also instigates financial changes. If you’re hoping to finalise negotiations, make sure any agreement is committed to ink. Not everyone is trustworthy.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Wednesday 16th
There’s a huge happening in the heavens, Virgo. You’ve just completed a decade long cycle in which priorities revolved around relationships. Finally, you can concentrate on your own needs. Indeed, you’ve a deep instinct that something special is on its way – including a complete overhaul of self image. Expect a leaner, more fit, you.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Thursday 17th
This is a week of change, particularly regarding your image. With charm and charisma peaking, prepare for a parade of admirers. If attached, expect to be especially close to your partner. Confidence coupled with creativity should also get most of your ideas noticed and appreciated. And then, you can finally wind down for the festive season.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Monday 14th
This week helps you actualise your values in life. If you value money and possessions, this time could mark a peak in cash flow. If your values are more spiritual, then expect growth in this area. Of course, there’s no reason why it can’t be a combination of the two. Even the most spiritual individuals are entitled to their share of material comforts.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Wednesday 16th
Prepare for an unpredictable week, Sagittarius. Thanks to the solar eclipse in your own sign, you’re journeying though an “anything can happen and probably will” phase. Maybe it’s time to be less indulgent and, perhaps, try not to cause disruption. Your relationships are also at odds, as is your bank balance. A week for caution.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Tuesday 15th
It’s a week when meditation, yoga or any form of counselling should work to your advantage. And if you feel more spiritually protected, you are. Greater compassion is shown to those in need. The best news? Heart and home unite. A change of address is also likely soon. Look to the new year for further studies or retraining.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Sunday 13th
It’s time to put down emotional roots, Aquarius. Family numbers may grow – perhaps through marriage or a partner, a new flatmate, birth or even a new pet. You’re also likely to draw closer to immediate family and, if need be, turn to them for assistance. Parents could offer help – be it financial or otherwise.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Saturday 12th
Pisceans notice that they can’t steer situations as much as usual. But after you stop blaming past misfortunes, you come to understand that you alone are responsible for your life. You also realise that lasting contentment can only come from within. Life becomes less of an uphill struggle when attuned to your own natural rhythm.
