If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
Somehow you’ve managed to persuade a guardian angel to put in a bit of overtime on your behalf. Actually, it’s more likely that you have a team of them working around the clock – along with the support of friends and family. Finally, here’s a year when there’s little to lose and much to gain. If you’ve been feeling overloaded, you’re now more inclined to review those long hours. The next step may be to permanently work from home – a siutation set up for many Scorpios earlier this year. And should there be mounting tension between home and work life – prioritise, and leave plenty of time for play.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Friday 30th
Our lives are full of opportunities to start over, and every so often there’s a potent cosmic push that gives us a dynamic boost and creates new beginnings. So now that Mercury steps forward again, it’s the right time for forward planning. This week, investigate ways to make your life grow. The end result will be so very satisfying.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Sunday 1st
Now that Mercury steps forward, over the next few days you’re once again free to sign contracts, schedule vital meetings, have significant conversations and make important decisions or purchases. Remain confident as you push ahead with anything that requires communication or forward planning. You’re back in control.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Thursday 5th
A progressive Mercury sees work goals move in the right direction. All lines of communication suddenly re-open, and you can look forward to busy discussions. One warning: prolonged pressure can place high demands on even the healthiest body, so don’t overdo punishing regimes. Another likely distraction: inconsiderate colleagues.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Monday 2nd
Dramatic changes at work or home either draw issues closer together, or split them wide apart. So if you were hoping for a quieter time, think again. The coming week offers little respite as Mercury whisks you from the wings and plants you firmly in the spotlight. The biggest surprise will be just how well you cope with the unexpected.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Friday 30th
The planets push for more honesty at home. If relationships feel strained, talk problems through. For others, the week attempts to sort out family feuds. Perhaps, too, painful childhood memories demand resolution. Saturn also continues to deliver a busy work schedule. There may be little rest this week, but much should be achieved.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Monday 2nd
Normally, you have no problem letting others know when they have overstepped the mark. Someone’s marching into your territory, and somehow – you’ve let this happen. Don’t panic, and don’t lose your temper. Calmly address the matter, and reclaim your own dominion. Wannabe opponents will soon back off.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Saturday 31st
If you’ve spent the last three weeks feeling mentally scrambled, stressed or just ridiculously indecisive, relief is near. After Mercury steps forward on the 5th, you’ll soon notice the difference. From here on in this quicksilver planet becomes more dynamic every day, as will you. Take action based on new insights learned over recent weeks.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Tuesday 3rd
Scorpios have little cause for complaint – bringing a considerable difference from recent chaos. You become increasingly ambitious; and goals are more easily reached. This kind of confidence can’t help but bring success. That said, if you take the time for some mischievous play – you just may have some fun too, and break a few rules along the way.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Wednesday 4th
Life’s harsher lessons can now turn to your advantage. Although you still feel the pressure of responsibility, don’t lose your sense of fun. Work and play can overlap. The cosmos also heightens financial instinct, inspiring you to find imaginative ways to improve income. And there’s truth in that old cliché: “It’s not what you know, but who you know.”
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Tuesday 3rd
Your best efforts may not be appreciated just now, mostly because others are so wrapped up in themselves that they can’t see a good thing – even when it’s waved in their faces. Never mind, take more responsibility for yourself. Accept reality, deal with limitations and expand on strengths. This week is about putting in extra effort to reap future rewards.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Saturday 31st
This week life’s reponsibilities land squarely on your shoulders. Previous effort and hard work start to pay off. You’re now seen as an authority figure, and the cosmos expects you to take on this new accountability. It may seem like too much pressure too soon – but don’t fret. It’s what you have wanted, if not yet expected.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Sunday 1st
Clutter can drain Piscean energy. When you walk into a room or building, you have an instant reaction to it. The space can agitate or calm you. So stroll through your home or office, and notice how you feel. Mess can be a huge obstacle to the natural flow of energy and energy is something you’ve lately lacked. This week, clear the trash.
