If you celebrate your birthday this week:

Your Year Ahead

Your moods have wavered for a while now – some months you’ve felt emotionally abandoned, while others found you snuggling back into the fold.  This year suggests that you still have more unfinished business to complete and, perhaps, the occasional inner demon to wrestle with.  Remember though, that you’re warmly loved and this is never more the case than now, when Venus turns her caring your way.  By July, the cosmos sets a more romantic scene at work – and that’s when you get to truly mix business with pleasure.  Apparently, it will be worth the wait.

Aries (March 21 – April 20)

Best Day: Saturday 25th

Information and ideas are flowing.  Relationships may also be due for an overhaul or even a revisit – and if you’ve misplaced that special magic, there may be something waiting for you in love’s lost and found.  Gifts roll your way; and should you mix business with pleasure – you won’t be disappointed.

Taurus (April 21 – May 20)

Best Day:  Wednesday 29th

If granted extra authority this week, use it wisely.  With career or family issues, patience helps you keep a balanced viewpoint, and it might also pay to keep an eye on finances.  It’s not that loved ones can’t be trusted – just know what they’re are spending.  In matters of the heart, long-distance love could also turn out easier than imagined. 

Gemini (May 21 – June 21)

Best Day:  Friday 24th

The cosmos hints that what you most want this week is to find the strength and willpower to see you through and achieve what you want.  It’s important to come from a place of love and tolerance though, not aggression.  Put your fears to rest, Gemini.  Although the rewards won’t be instant, your diligence will soon pay off.

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

Best Day: Sunday 26th

That old self-doubt is back again, but you’ll just have to scrape up your self esteem and paste on your best smile.  Most of the trouble is home-grown, so you’re in for some candid chat if there’s any hope of restoring the peace.  Sometimes it’s best to just forgive and forget.  That means forgiving yourself, too.  

Leo (July 23 – August 23)

Best Day:  Thursday 30th

Now, here’s a better week – one when others seem prepared to grant your requests.  By now you’ve probably accumulated a wish list as long as your arm,  so gently start hinting at what you want. They say that there’s a time and a place for everything. For you, it’s now.  There’s also some focus on romance and rebuilding friendships; it’s no time to be alone. 

Virgo (August 24 – September 22)

Best Day:  Monday 27th

Encouraged by considerable strength and self-reliance, you possess an even greater desire than usual to take the initiative.  Stop talking about what you would like to do – instead, get busy, and do it.  Money and status are easier to achieve if you take the lead, rather than follow.   Prepare well, and be honest in all your dealings. 

Libra (September 23 – October 23)

Best Day:  Tuesday 28th

Problems have a knack of building in intensity right up to the point of no-return.  You’re not your usual tolerant-self this week Libra, edging more towards feeling frustrated or irritated. Mostly you stay patient, but we all get a little battle-worn sometimes.  Do yourself a favour – withdraw for a short while.   Regroup and recoup.

Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)

Best Day: Monday 27th

With so much surrounding turbulence, finding your equilibrium hasn’t been easy. Home and work vie for your attention, putting you under far too much pressure. Caution can’t be stressed enough, as flaws in present negotiations could be the source of a complicated future. Dig around for the truth if you’re suspicious of another’s motives. 

Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)

Best Day:  Sunday 26th

Enjoy the relative calm of this week as you slip into cruise mode, and stay pretty much unflappable.  Seemingly, not much can go wrong if you take life as it comes – and if you have put a little extra effort into recent ventures, this could be a time of reward.  Deservedly so.  Expect surprises or sudden opportunities.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 20) 

Best Day:  Thursday 30th

Worried about your life’s direction?  Maybe you’ve lost control, either at work or at play.  Professionally, you may not feel up to the task.  At home, you’re dissatisfied.  Could it be that you’re living someone else’s dream?  Don’t get caught in their web of discontent.   If necessary, it might be the time to break away and fly solo.  

Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)

Best Day:  Friday 24th

If you’ve been putting off a tough conversation, you might be forced to do just that.  Of course you’d prefer to skirt around the facts – but this week you can’t escape reality.  It’s a sobering time, but also a chance to own up to your own blame.  Just don’t try to compensate with your overly-caustic wit, as your words might seem dark in tone.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Best Day:  Saturday 25th

Sometimes Piscean naivety leads you to put your confidence in situations and people that aren’t trustworthy.  You did not ask to be hurt, but hurt you were.  At some point, you must forgive those who have caused you pain.  If the time’s not yet right, don’t force anything.  Be gentle with yourself.  A meditative walk in nature could be just what you need.
