If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
Capricorns are blessed with many talents, but you sometimes need motivation – and in early 2022, your motivation is to make more money. Once you sense a growing success, there’ll be nothing stopping you. After April, career expectations are placed on the back burner. Instead, you’re encouraged to get emotions out into the open. If in the market for new love, the planets help deliver a knock-out sales pitch. If coupled, you’re better able to express how you feel and show how much you care. Something for everyone.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Sunday 2nd
This year is gentle on your soul, and open with introductions. You need to relish the compassion of others and throw some around yourself. Jupiter hints at spiritual retreat, while Saturn encourages deep friendships. Or maybe this is your year for much needed pampering and romance. You choose, but you’ll need to be tougher after June.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Saturday 1st
Over the next year, Jupiter keeps you busier and more involved with others. As this delightfully social planet loves to arrange meetings with unconventional people – expect to venture outside your usual social circle. Friends are also more supportive. But this isn’t a one-way street, as you’re equally able to offer assistance.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Monday 3rd
Jupiter has moved into your career sector, Gemini. What does this mean? Change. Lightning fast change – mostly in how you see and interact with this world. Outmoded values start to disintegrate. In time, a new you emerges – physically, mentally and spiritually. Should you feel an urge to travel, venture as far as you dare.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Sunday 2nd
Life grows happier, Cancer. You’re offered a fabulous year, surrounded by love, friendship and prosperity. Business and pleasure also mix more easily. Other possibilities: travel or higher education. Health should also be on the up – with one exception: a possible gain in weight. If this is something you’d prefer to avoid, all things in moderation.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Monday 3rd
In matters of the heart, this year is gentle on your soul and generous with introductions. You need this. Recently, it’s been make-or-break time – with your confidence waning. Being self-assured is all about knowing who you are and enjoying who you are. Straddle this psychological fence with optimism, and you’ll soon stride forward once again.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Friday 31st
Relationships have their tempestuous moments this year, matching powerful plays of passion with moments of cool detachment. Although your usual impulse is to run from conflict, sometimes it’s best to stand your ground. Should this lead to change or new circumstances, so be it. The cosmos always has a contingency plan in motion.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Tuesday 4th
This year others receive Jupiter’s delightful planet’s benefits through you – and you, through them. Not surprisingly, this helps you win many new friends and admirers. Those touched by your kindness will be more than happy to return the favour when you need it – particularly professional contacts. At last, work could become a happier place to be.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Saturday 1st
You’re a very private person, Scorpio – and even more so this week. You’re in no mood to share thoughts or feelings with anybody. But sometimes our privacy is invaded, whether we like it or not. Question is, how are you going to handle this intrusion? For starters, keep your temper under control. If you need time alone, simply say so.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Tuesday 4th
Life can occasionally get a little out of hand, especially if you’ve allowed minor issues to take on major proportions. A short break would let you reflect on things, but getting away may not be easy. Others will continue to make demands. Oblige sensitively, but sensibly. You have your own life to lead, and martyrdom can be a tiring road to travel.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Friday 31st
Thanks to Jupiter’s wanderlust, your curiosity expands this year – making it an ideal time to try as many new opportunities as possible. A growing pile of books, web searches and emails clutter your mind. Relationships with siblings and close family should also improve. Travel’s on the agenda, especially short trips related to work or family matters.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Thursday 6th
Most Aquarians are born optimists. What’s more, you have the cheek of the devil – often embellishing your achievements and usually getting away with it. Sometimes, though, you overstep the mark. Not so now. Here’s a week when your legendary charm dazzles one and all. Financially, too, you look to profit.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Friday 31st
At some stage everyone has to take a leap of faith and now, Jupiter provides that opportunity. All your instincts say “jump” and, while the pressures and others’ expectations remain, you should still take the risk. If you can keep your head together through months of frantic spurts of industry, you step into one of the most productive years of your life.
