If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
It’s a year of contradictions. Soul-searching versus searching for a soul mate. But even when feeling a tad subdued, romance is never far away. That’s the beauty of being you, Libra. Throughout the year, you can expect a far more serious attitude towards love. December brings a truce to sparring relationships. You also stop taking friends and family for granted. Fun is on the increase, with mutual expectations and desires more closely met. The focus also shifts towards a happier social life. And should the cosmos present the chance of a more hedonistic lifestyle in the new year, why hesitate? It’s most likely a welcome change.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Saturday 21st
Forgive and forget, Aries. What’s done is done, and no amount of anger can change things. If someone waves the white flag – or offers sympathy, accept with gratitude. Likewise for an unexpected invitation – one pleasant diversion can often lead to another. No surprises, then, if love comes by way of a mutual friend.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Monday 23rd
Expect changes, with real breakthroughs likely. This applies to personal and professional matters. The cosmos continues to encourage career development – and you’re astute enough to realise that you’re being put in a position of power. Love could just as easily flourish alongside work activities, either with a present partner or someone new.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Wednesday 25th
This week, Geminis tackle negotiations forcefully and with purpose – happily, in your favour. And now that you’ve finally decided to embark on that special journey – there’s no turning back. This is a time when one small catalyst could make all the difference. Impressed with your ambition, someone in authority may offer a helping hand.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Sunday 22nd
This is a courageous week, especially when it comes to travel or new ventures. If well prepared, you could soon be treading more lucrative paths. But as there’s still an element of risk involved – make provision for any sudden detours. If financial plans are delayed, don’t let this ruin a potentially good time – the best things in life are still free.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Friday 20th
Your ability to adapt to change is destined to pay off in the weeks to come, with a prestigious new role or perhaps a new relationship. The urge to do your own thing may stir other areas of your life too. For some, this could mean travel or new studies. A good dose of exercise wouldn’t go astray either.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Wednesday 25th
You’re very chatty this week – so unlike you, Virgo. Excited thoughts race around your mind and you can’t wait to share them with anyone that happens to be around. Right now too, it seems you’re back in touch with every friend on the planet. The week may also end with more than its fair share of love and luxuries. If so, simply enjoy!
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Saturday 21st
Recently, too many demands have drained the Libran spirit. No wonder you’ve scuttled behind closed doors. Take heart, my friend. Brighter times lie ahead. The greatest gift? A growing self-confidence, and an equally expanding income. For some, this may relate to professional matters. Others look to resolve a mystery. An “a’ha” moment sheds light.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Tuesday 24th
What do we have here? An angry Scorpio on truth serum. This week you may feel cheated, emotionally chafed or claustrophobic. No need for weapons, though – when words can wound so well. Just take care with what you say, or the damage could be irreversible. Is that what you really want?
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Friday 20th
With passions soaring you’re on something of a romantic bender. Whether you rev up the intensity of a current arrangement, or brush up against an entirely new body – the outcome promises to be spectacular. Watch your levels of expectation all the same. This isn’t exactly a rock solid phase, with illicit affairs looking particularly short-lived.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Wednesday 25th
Silence might be golden but it can also lead to inner conflict. You’ve been asked to maintain secrecy, and until now have kept good faith. After all, it’s in your nature to be unquestioningly loyal. That is, until you run against a particularly petulant Pluto, who’s keen to get you talking when you should be staying silent.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Thursday 26th
When you consider destiny versus free will from a wider perspective, you may realise that nothing has to be absolute. If every event in your life were pre-ordained, there would be no such thing as free will or self-determination. This week, use that free will well. You, and no one else, should direct the course of your life.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Monday 23rd
Finances and work share the same upward trend this week. Sometimes, though, it can be easy to waste opportunities, simply because over-optimism can lead to taking things for granted. Plant the seeds of success now, so that they may grow taller and stronger in the months to come. Plenty of support comes from friends and family.
