If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
Sometimes there’s no rhyme or reason to this whole “reward” thing, with benefits seemingly arriving from nowhere. A hint of romance, extra cash and the strong suggestion of a well deserved holiday arrive in this coming year’s parcel of cosmic goodies. And if you’ve felt the chains of restriction lately, you’re given the opportunity for a clean break. There’s also likely to be a noticeable change in the way you spend extra leisure hours, as health awareness starts to creep in. But should an occasional inclination for taking risks surface, go with it. Many will be surprised by your newfound strength of spirit.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Thursday 15th
What the world needs now is love, sweet love, and Ariens everywhere are first in line. But where to find that perfect mate? Think foreign and exotic. This week you may choose to experiment. Perhaps you’re drawn to an irresistible out-of-towner, or possibly someone older? Couples should use this time to rekindle tepid passions.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Sunday 11th
A relationship or friendship may be up for negotiation. Few partnerships continue as they first began. People can, and will, change – no matter how much you think you know them. It seems that some important issues could need your attention right now. Perhaps someone’s throwing problems your way, instead of trying to resolve their own issues.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Monday 12th
Find yourself an extra pair of hands, quick smart. You’re probably needed in more than one place right now. Sure, it’s great to feel wanted. But maybe you’re being stretched in too many directions. The week reminds you why very few of us make it to sainthood. Finances suggest an exciting detour, as does a very close friend.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Thursday 15th
Someone’s being impatient this week, because they want everything done in double-time – so woe betide you if you have a few slow days or you disagree with them. It could easily become a week of silly spats and squabbles – mostly about nothing. Very inconsiderate, when they know you have so much on your plate already.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Monday 12th
You may feel irritated with close friends or relatives this week. If they’re leaning too heavily on you, you need to either hand them back some responsibility or get some outside support. You can’t be all things to everyone. It’s been said, “time is the most valuable commodity.” Spend wisely, Leo – on yourself.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Sunday 11th
Virgos are accomplished in many areas of their lives but now want to learn something new. If this is the case, do your homework in what you need to do next to propel you towards a new path. You can use past and present skills to help you or choose to do something which is totally off the grid. Either way, success beckons.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Saturday 10th
Your usual indecision is replaced by assertiveness this week, and fence-sitting is replaced by determination. Librans position themselves centre stage – leaving the rest of the cast in the shadows. After that, it shouldn’t be too hard to achieve top billing. A money-spinning project could also catch your interest.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Tuesday 13th
Your mojo is back, Scorpio. This go-getter week helps you sail through any obstacles. Finally aware of the magic you can make, you should use these considerable talents. Don’t be afraid to press ahead, even if this means stepping outside the box. Consider this your official cosmic pick-me-up.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Wednesday 14th
Sagittarians love to be loved. Not just in the tango-for-two sense, but in an all encompassing way. Your idea of bliss is a group hug that encircles this precious planet of ours. This week, you do get to bond with others – though on a more modest scale. But take some time for rest too. Some of the cosmos is lazing back – and so should you.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Saturday 10th
While the week may start on a sour note, this means that life can only grow sweeter. Sure, some plans may be cancelled or delayed. And okay, you might be feeling a tad tetchy – but each new day carries fresh hope and optimism. New sources of income materialise, perhaps via a loan or promotion.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Tuesday 13th
That famous Aquarian charm will get you everywhere this week. You’re out to inspire and impress. When you present such a positive attitude, people just naturally do more things for you and with you. Sounds so simple, really. Strange that more people don’t get it. Those on the hunt for romance have every chance of finding love.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Wednesday 14th
Good times flow through a week when you’re free to chase your desires – probably to the point of over-indulgence. You’re set on experimenting with new styles, and friends. A classy new look surprises everyone. Romance may also be a drawcard. Some are smitten with colleagues, others feel drawn to new romance. You feel loving, and loved.
