If you celebrate your birthday this week:

Your Year Ahead
 
Frantic but fun is the best way to describe this year.  With pheromones in free flight, these next few months find you taking a more pleasure-seeking approach to love and life.  Whether is is a dilemma or delight may depend on your moral code.   By June, a casual fling could turn out to be a merging of souls.  Good news indeed, when you’re hoping to play for keeps.  Socially, the remainder of 2019 also offers some splendid moments.  July introduces a special someone.  If game enough, be ready, willing and able to extend your romantic boundaries.  Finances look set to seduce as well.
 
 
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day:  Monday 25th
 
If the early week seems sluggish, don’t fret.  As the days pass, a charged-up cosmos flings you fully into action.  At work your ideas are set for a breakthrough, while your love life looks equally vibrant.  Watch, too, for an opportunity to make the best of your intuition, as your dreams start to take on more clarity.  
 
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day:   Saturday 23rd
 
Don’t get caught up in unresolved mysteries, Taurus.  Life’s enough of a riddle, and sometimes it’s best to just let enigmas be.  Although some questions seem to demand answers, not everything can be rushed – all will be revealed in its own sweet time. At times like this it can help to distance yourself from others.  
 
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day:  Tuesday 26th
 
Prepare for a cash catastrophe.  One purchase too many could cost you your financial comfort zone.  After the 28th, the Sun offers a last-minute cash boost to save the day.  At work, there’s little chance of keeping you still.  Along with this energy comes a demand for recognition – as does an uncanny ability to sense romantic opportunities.
 
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day:  Sunday 24th
 
You’re sharp as a tack, Cancer – so little sneaks past you.  But this awareness can be a bane as well as a blessing.  When always on full alert, you rarely get the chance to relax, especially if you torture yourself over tiny details.  So try to slow the pace and take some time for pleasure.  Allow some fun and spontaneity into your life.
 
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day:  Friday 22nd
 
Nothing spurs a Leo into action like the threat of an empty wallet.  Right now, your budget’s looking frail, and that provides enough incentive to become inventive.  Fortunately, solutions come easily – as should extra cash. Romantic liaisons look just as profitable, with couples ready to expand on their emotional investment.  
 
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day:  Wednesday 27th
 
This week work and social activities are directly linked.  Looks like a huge financial leap is also on the horizon. Best investment avenues are property or business that enables you to work from home. And don’t be surprised if friends or family take more interest in your well being. Some may give support without you even being aware of it.
 
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day:  Thursday 28th
 
Everyone seems to be discussing the kind of worries you overcame years ago.  They want to explore every wrong turn, every mistake – in great detail.  Thankfully you’ve recognised the early warning signs, and make a break for it.  You don’t need the angst.  In any case, it’s time for you to take a much-needed break.  
 
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Friday 22nd
 
Disappointment can be hard to bear.  But you’ve shouldered your burdens well – and rewards are on their way. The cosmos is ready to set you back on track, financially and professionally.  For some Scorpios, life does a complete turn-around.  Instead of retreating from battle, you go on the attack.  Others simply get lucky – in money, and love.
 
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day:  Monday 25th
 
This week has “detour” written all over it.  By all means, continue with whatever you had in mind, but don’t become overly upset if and when life takes off in another direction.  The good news is that you should come out ahead, no matter what the turn of events.  Throw yourself wholeheartedly into what’s on offer.
 
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20) 
Best Day: Thursday 28th
 
Life feels easier as the planets tip the focus more towards fun.  You’ll be busy at home, with an equally agile love life. While professional commitments still require your attention, social engagements no longer seem impossible to attend.  Earnings increase, but so does expenditure.  Go ahead, indulge yourself.  
 
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day:  Saturday 23rd
 
The week gets off to a bumpy start.  If you want to maintain important contacts – work on your diplomacy.  As much as it sticks in the throat, say nothing – even if your arguments are valid.  By week’s end, karmic grace should return a happier state of mind.  And if you feel inclined to mix business with pleasure, why should the cosmos object?
 
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Sunday 24th

Home and personal concerns monopolise your time this week.  Life’s been turbulent, so a sense of belonging becomes more important.  For singles, the lure to coupledom may be hard to resist, while established duos rekindle commitment.  If a project needs bankrolling, look to relatives. Also consider real estate deals or DIY improvements.
