If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
If there’s one thing Sagittarians loathe, it’s having to conform – but sometimes you just have to toe the party line. Your reward? New job, new status, new image – one or all, the choice is yours. Sadly, though, it’s not a case of instant gratification. Approach your passions with caution and attention to detail. Allow your dreams enough time to become a reality. Singles have opportunities for new love. For couples, a push towards material gain spurs you on, although there may still be pressure to fall in line with a partner. If so, maintain a strong sense of independence and equality. Freedom is your lifeline.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Monday 30th
Stand by for a reshuffling of values, which could see love and friendship take on a new tone. You’ll be surprised at who volunteers when you need help, and you’ll be equally startled at who will let you down. This week brings a crash course in what you need from relationships. If a certain love is unsalvageable, take courage and say goodbye.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Saturday 28th
Half the world is talking about cutting workload. According to social futurists, we’re all meant to be “downsizing”. We’re supposed to value our leisure time more, especially during these difficult times. Seems that you haven’t really taken this message to heart, as you continue to slog through the workload, regardless. Get off the treadmill, Taurus.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Sunday 29th
You have a reputation for conquering your competition with words. Wry, quirky humour is Gemini’s style – and your words can be quite cutting. But if making light of others’ characteristics, don’t expect an appreciative audience. Sure, there are times when the world deserves ridicule, but not everyone will get the joke. Play nice.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Wednesday 2nd
A secret could be exposed, Cancer. While you may feel a tad indignant at having your psyche placed on such public display – avoid any temptation to retaliate. This is not a time to shoot whatever grace you have left in the foot. The trouble with confronting bullies is that you risk acting the same way. Be the better person.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Saturday 28th
If recent efforts have felt like all pain and no gain, don’t lose heart. This isn’t the first time you’ve battled against the odds. So file mistakes under forget, and keep trying for that breakthrough. Take comfort in the fact that there’s a planetary support team assembling this week, just for you. A relationship may benefit from an honest heart to heart.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Thursday 3rd
You have the enviable ability to catch hold of yourself in times of chaos and do a quick reality check. Just as well, as life’s been a busy blur of activity recently – and you’ve probably made more changes than usual. Unnerving, but certainly exhilarating. Just don’t be guilted or seduced into following another’s dreams.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Tuesday 1st
Most Librans can expect a better week. You’ve managed to shake off recent problems, and the forces which previously prevented progress have moved on to plague other less fortunate signs. This leaves you with optimism, and the benefit of hindsight. You also increasingly look and feel fantastic – a fabulous bonus.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Sunday 29th
This week’s spirited sassiness can’t help but turn heads. Business could mix with pleasure. Or perhaps a higher-up is instrumental in pushing you towards success. Whatever the case, right now you’re ambitious and talented enough to triumph. If others resent your moment of glory, ignore them. Push your aims skyward.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Friday 27th
You might want to put some space between yourself and a barrage of conflicting opinions. Be smarter in your decision making, especially when it comes to business or purchases. To maintain stability at work and home, stay patient and remain receptive to alternative viewpoints: honest discussion beats hostility any time.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Tuesday 1st
For some time now, you’ve suffered upheaval. Still, the experience hasn’t been all bad, as you’ve gained the gifts of wisdom, tenacity and tolerance. The planets now also announce a major change and growing confidence. Socially, you sizzle. Romance wins a generous time slot, with enough allure to conjure up an enigmatic new love.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Friday 27th
Just when you thought everything was going well, yet another new setback tests you. Don’t panic. You have the tenacity to get through this. Most Aquarians work too long and too hard to even consider surrender. You’re prepared to take all necessary measures to maintain peace of mind – and that’s what counts.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Monday 30th
After walking on financial quicksand for so long, this week brings you comfortably back on solid ground. You’re also better able to appreciate how previous setbacks served you. With hindsight, you can turn past mistakes into future triumphs. Even recent health issues should start to ease. Find what you love doing, and enjoy it.
