If you celebrate your birthday this week, you share with:
Your Year Ahead
This year allows you to take what’s deservedly yours. As early as March, finances start to improve – just make sure that all is above-board. With emotions running high, April draws you towards illicit liaisons. Could you cope if secret love was exposed? May is just as generous in its carnal offerings, but some complications remain. If still feeling restricted, June signals make or break time. At work, timing’s important when it comes to achieving ambitions. After August, you want something so badly you can almost taste it. Wait for the green light.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Friday 11th
Problems hint at bigger issues that no one wants to discuss. While you’d rather not become involved, you may have no choice – mostly because others’ worries are not as trivial as you thought. They’ve been downplaying it, so as not to worry you. Be helpful, but skip the martyrdom. The best lesson you can teach others right now is independence.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Monday 14th
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.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Sunday 13th
This week could start with surprising changes personally or professionally as hidden forces fling you in directions you probably won’t want to go. Exposed secrets or an intense emotional experience may also leave you reeling but soon you’ll come to realise that these changes will have actually improved your life.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Wednesday 16th
You can’t please all the people all of the time, Cancer. Maybe the solution is to pick your moment, but there’s still one small problem. Some individuals simply can’t be pleased at all, despite your best efforts. If so, perhaps you’re better off directing your energies elsewhere. The last few days concentrate on money and self image.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Monday 14th
With the moon in your own sign on the 17th, life could become a stress-fest. Your best antidote for full-moon burnout is to stay within your comfort zones. Avoid harsh work deadlines and do what you love instead. Look to romance, perhaps. Couples could rekindle passions. This week also offers a possible change of address.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Friday 11th
Virgos tend to give most the benefit of the doubt. But sometimes that all-too forgiving stance may backfire when you discover that someone isn’t as loyal as you thought. You’ll survive, but this is a lesson in setting firm boundaries. The good news: a bit of extra cash comes within reach. If so, spend up while you can.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Tuesday 15th
This week keeps you on your toes. Stay calm and in control, and there’s precious little you can’t manage. The question is: what do you really want? Love plays its dizzy game and you may be happy to surrender to Cupid’s coaxing. The question is: just when you’re ready to be swept off your feet, should said feet stay firmly planted on the ground?
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Saturday 12th
Scorpios are given a second chance at ventures that didn’t go so well first time around. Call it karma or luck. The trick lies in facing challenges head-on and turning them in your favour. Early next week, Venus talks the Sun into giving cash-deficient Scorpios financial help. Not before time – you deserve some pampering.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Tuesday 15th
You’ve pretty much got your hands full right now. If you intend to keep loved friends and family guessing, you’re off to a good start. Life seems erratic, so making fixed plans might not be wise. Our lives often puts forward difficult dilemmas. Or, if your world is unbalanced, perhaps because it’s all work and no play.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Saturday 12th
Everyone seems to be in each other’s way this week and no one’s prepared to give way. You might think you’ve seen it all when it comes to others’ negligence, but past scenarios have been mere dress rehearsals. Fortunately all things and people eventually move on – so optimism, faith and money are bound to come out of their tail spin soon.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Wednesday 16th
So you’re finally acting on your wilder ambitions? This means lucrative times ahead. If you’re on a career path, push it for all it’s worth. Financial prospects look bright – and a penchant for speculation should show a great return. Ditto with your love life. Couples should forgive past misgivings, and don’t be afraid to express your emotions.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Thursday 17th
Success could be yours for the taking Pisces, if you could only get over this debilitating fear of abandoning others. Shake off that old guilt trip and put your own needs first. In romance, too – you should throw off inhibitions and release repressed desires Take control of your sexuality and rediscover “the sweetest taboo”.
