If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
Money doesn’t grow on trees, and even if it did, you still have some serious sowing to do. It’s not hat you won’t do well this year – you’ll just have to work for it. Your driving force? Financial independence. Whether you’re globetrotting or buried in paperwork, the months ahead promise achievement and a renewed sense of purpose. May sees you taking the spotlight, while July throws a bit more money your way. This leaves you free to dazzle the professional and party scenes. You should also mix business with pleasure. This year, there are so many ways to impress. Just remember to occasionally step off the treadmill.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Saturday 16th
It’s not a week for jumping to conclusions, or making hasty judgments. You’re being put to the test – so wait until all the facts are known. Neither should you do or say anything that will be seen as a challenge, so choose your words carefully – a slip of the tongue could send an already tense situation past the point of recovery.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Friday 15th
Expect life to change. Destiny or synchronicity, call it what you like – it’s about to happen. If you have important choices to make, trust your intuition. Do you feel that events seem to be progressing with little input from you? If so, trust the process. Just as importantly, most Taureans are now surrounded by people who can help.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Sunday 17th
It’s true, magic can happen – simply by staying positive. Energy follows thought, Gemini. What you think, will be. Be kind enough to give yourself what you need. Make time for nature, massages or friendships. It’s been too long since you allowed yourself some time off – simply for the sake of fun and being pampered.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Monday 18th
What’s the rush, Cancer? Stop worrying whether or not you can keep up with competitors. Too much dashing here and there could lead to mistakes. Don’t panic about what you can’t get done – just do what you can. That’s all the universe asks of you right now. Friends should also prove more supportive than usual.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Wednesday 20th
Maybe you’ve felt a little heavy of mind or body lately. With so much to do, there’s been little chance to look after yourself. Maintaining a routine isn’t easy, but sometimes necessary. If your eating habits have become a problem, avoid so-called miracle diets. Common sense should tell you sensible eating and exercise are usually the only solutions.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Sunday 17th
A busy week ahead, with the focus on work. If you feel that others are taking advantage, then review your position. Decide what you really want to do and don’t settle for second best. Health issues also take priority, so look after the most important person in your life – you. Time to start a new fitness regime.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Tuesday 19th
Bolt all doors that may invite invasion of privacy. Your financial and personal affairs, in particular, will stand more chance of success if they stay hidden. Guard your secrets and money well. Someone wants to take advantage. Stay focused, or you may find yourself misled or even worse – cheated.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Thursday 21st
Cancel that appointment with your therapist. Your recent frenzied behaviour is just the effect of some disruptive planets. Instead of worrying about your uncharacteristic conduct, figure out how to benefit from being outrageous. If throwing a well-timed tantrum can help you get what you want, use the drama to your advantage.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Wednesday 20th
In facing personal demons, this week you seek a deeper meaning to your life. But keep a few kilos of salt handy for the words of false prophets. If pressured, send out clear signals that no one has the right to impose their ideas or actions on you. Superficial friendships or relationships will no longer satisfy your emotional needs.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Friday 15th
It seems as if the entire population is away with the pixies, and you’re the only one making any sense. Trying to get a flicker of genuine reasoning could be difficult. Either wait until everyone’s back in focus, or pack a bag and disappear to more relaxing surroundings. For singles, pursuit of pleasure takes priority.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Monday 18th
Let go of any self-defeating thoughts. You may feel that you lack direction, but that’s only because you’ve yet to choose your direction. Start a vision board, write lists, make plans and be open to following when a path opens for you. If you feel that guidance is needed, ask friends or family for help. You are not alone.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Saturday 16th
Ever gone to pull a loose thread, only to find the whole thing unravelling? Stop picking at minor flaws or life may start to come loose. While delays can be disappointing, you’re probably not ready to proceed right now. Instead, enjoy the week with those you love. Today makes tomorrow’s happy memories, so make the best of life in the here and now.
