If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
You experienced many setbacks last year, but with the trials and troubles came a valuable life lesson. You now know that you’re a stayer who’s in for the win. Soon after this birthday, work matters reach a new level of success. Just don’t overcommit. Plan responsibly and be equally certain you’re working at something you really want to do. You should also resist the temptation to scatter energies. Ditto goes for finances. Don’t end the year poorer than you started. In matters of the heart, love and friendship can crop up in the most unlikely places so, this year, stay ready for the unexpected.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Sunday 13th
There’s plenty of reason for excitement. Take any professional prominence you’re offered this week. When you choose to shine, you truly sparkle. You have more time to please yourself too, particularly after the 18th when the focus shifts away from work. This signals play time, offering the right balance between work and play.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Saturday 12th
Sometimes, we reach a week that, in hindsight, is a turning point. Whether you realise its importance at the time depends on your outlook. Whatever the case, there’s no avoiding change. More importantly, you undergo a review of your convictions – old ideals may be traded for newer beliefs, or your present commitment strengthens.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Monday 14th
The cosmos motivates you to promote yourself and your talents. If you haven’t yet found your right calling, you’ll probably do so soon. New ventures are suddenly noticed by a wider audience. You may also travel in connection or have more contact with those overseas. A family member, too, may be given a special promotion or recognition.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Tuesday 15th
Reality takes the form of a cash flow crisis, the kind that threatens to send finances into a spin. Allow your practical side to step in. Someone close may also want you to detour from your own interests in order to hold their hand. If they’re being too intrusive, set them straight. Sometimes, even loved ones have to learn by their own mistakes.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Saturday 12th
Well done Leo, for giving it your best shot. Now, why not try a team effort? When you share resources and talents you can often achieve more than you would alone. Still, working well with others requires a willingness to leave egos at the door. A simplified love life could also help lessen stress.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Wednesday 16th
This week finds you more rebellious, yet ambitious. Radical new ideas and information flow through your mind. You’re better able to talk your way in or out of situations. Challenges come out of the blue, though rewards can be just as unexpected. Travel, too, could bring surprises. All this, hand in hand, with a delightfully active love life.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Tuesday 15th
Are you determined to outshine the competition? Then make the most of promising work opportunities this week. Having reached an important watershed, you’re now ready to embark on a journey of growing ambition and self discovery. Also, think back two years. Why is that situation still haunting you? Break free from this buried hurt.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Friday 11th
There’s little point in settling back down into that well-grooved rut. The cosmos promises changes for many weeks to come. You’re dragged away from the tried-and-true, and encouraged to break free from limitations. It’s not just a matter of changing old methods – you rediscover the childlike wonder that comes with starting each day anew.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Thursday 17th
While half the zodiac may be ready to self-destruct, that doesn’t mean that you have to join the queue. Most problems will arise through no-one’s willingness to back off, so it’s up to you to lead by example. The mood is also right to concentrate on your deepest desires. Think big, and the rewards will equal the effort.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Wednesday 16th
When it comes to fighting spirit, you’re fully armed this week. As you become more willing to try anything new, solutions to old problems surface. Determined and optimistic, you seize life’s opportunities and with this energy comes a demand for recognition. Just don’t be so wrapped up in your own affairs that loved ones feel neglected.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Friday 11th
Expect a week of acute self-questioning as thought processes undergo a steady but deep psychological change. A change of attitude, too, towards siblings and friends. Some may find that their intuition is heightened. You may also spend a little extra on a special luxury – or on property related matters. You could be buying, selling or simply moving house.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Monday 14th
You can finally let out that heart-felt sigh of relief. It’s been a traumatic time for you and the world which you so dearly cherish. This week is all about forgiving and forgetting. Leave the past where it belongs. Remember: yesterday is history, tomorrow’s a mystery. For now, kick off your heels and focus on life’s many pleasures.
