If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
This next year continues to be fast and furious. Initially, the idea of more work may not appeal, but the final gains will more than make up for it. Saturn demands that you spend your energies and money wisely in order to avoid burn-out. Still, no one copes with a challenge better than you. An old-fashioned romance makes a refreshing change in autumn, though talk of commitment might come too soon. If tempted by wanderlust, dust off those old hiking shoes. Anyone who doubts your return should know better. The heart will call you home.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Friday 11th
Thanks to a chaotic cosmos, few Ariens seem to be getting a fair go right now. An erratic Mars also makes it all-but impossible to stick to a schedule. You may try to sidestep this week’s tetchier planets, but when it comes to getting your message across, many Ariens could still become surprisingly tongue-tied. Rare, indeed.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Saturday 12th
You may be cash-strapped, but don’t give others the impression that your finances are unsettled. Worrying about income makes no difference but it could attract dishonest individuals. There are plenty of sharks out there all-too-happy to feed on vulnerable Taureans. Stay silent about your income and expenditure.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Sunday 13th
This week many Geminis feel ambushed, or feel they’re being forced towards a disagreeable direction. 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.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Monday 14th
Early this week, you should live your life hand in hand with your inner guidance. Choose to listen to those soft, and sometimes, barely audible whispers. Slow down, and truly embrace these special messages. Often it’s not so much the words but the hum of the vibration that heals mind, body and soul.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Sunday 13th
Life has been a battle recently. 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. After the full moon in Leo on the 17th, work and business shoot skywards. As does your love life.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Tuesday 15th
Life can be tough. Still, we must all assume that better times lie ahead. Lucky for you, mighty Mars does too. Your professional standing is in line for a boost, with opportunities coming from unusual sources. Indeed, being in the right place and making the right contacts are important ingredients to current success – so just go for it!
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Thursday 17th
With the cosmos offering Librans a triad of wealth, pleasure and opportunity, you’d be forgiven for believing in miracles. Here’s your chance to make a dream come true. Truly, it’s a wonderful week for progress, with even the smallest effort on your part producing great results. You’re at your financial, creative and sexual best.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Friday 11th
Ambition seems to take priority this week, but it needs to correspond with careful planning. When trying to turn opportunities into reality, it’s crucial to manage both your time and energy. Perhaps you’re considering a career change, or you want to start a business of your own? Whatever the case, it’s time to raise your public profile.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Wednesday 16th
Some time in the recent past, inappropriate relationships or situations either at home or at work were weeded out. This may have caused some distress, but it was necessary. The only individuals now left in your life are those of real value. With this improved clarity of vision, you’ll no longer fall under the spell of romantic illusions.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Monday 14th
Most of your spending is ruled by practicality. You aim for quality, rather than quantity. Capricorns generally know their financial limits – when diminishing returns no longer justify further outlay. Keep this sensible approach in mind, because this week’s feeling financially reckless. Don’t spend what you don’t have.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Saturday 12th
This week, Aquarian lives are up for a restructure – happily, in your favour. You should negotiations forcefully and with purpose. And now that you’ve finally decided to embark on that special journey or project – there’ll be no turning back. Someone in authority may also offer a helping hand.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Tuesday 15th
This week you have more time to help others. But don’t let anyone convince you that it’s simply a case of parting with cash. Your wisdom will provide better guidance than just swiping your card. At work, the more you do – the more you get to do. For some, an unexpected cash bonus helps to clear old debts.
