If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
Money and career are inextricably linked this year. Time is money, and you’re not willing to give away this precious commodity without proper compensation. You’re driven by security and the desire to attain more financial stability for the long-term. With Neptune’s station in your money sector, you’ll realise the value of saving and living within your means. Even if you never thought you had a head for business, get ready to learn the ins and outs of making money. And if you learn to balance professional responsibilities with an active love life, all the better.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Friday 8th
As heavenly play kicks into high gear, celestial forces line up through the week to take their turn bestowing fun and good time. Mars lays the groundwork for financial success. Nonetheless, a couple of pesky planets will also offer challenges – but that’s just how the universe rolls! Most days work to your advantage, Aries. Travel also appeals.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Sunday 10th
The spending spree is over, Taurus – so shred maxed-out credit cards, and then immediately trash them. You can blame the sales and unashamed advertising all you like for your financial woes, but it’s you who’s taken the bait. Inevitably, the banks now reel in their dues. Just consider this as a sobering lesson learned.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Thursday 14th
Geminis have charm and confidence, and this week your immaculate sense of timing also helps to create success. Next, your words and actions ensure that you deliver the goods. It’s important to set intentions for the next 12 months – so create a vision board. Someone new also makes a massive impact on you; with flirtation possibly leading to love.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Tuesday 12th
A mixed week. There’s plenty to get on with and you might even come up with some great ideas, but keep your ideas quiet. This is no time to give competitors the edge, nor should you take a leap of faith. Despite your impatience to move on, the cosmos discourages hurry. Ditto for your love life – unless you’re a fan of one-night stands.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Wednesday 13th
Life turns in cycles, and less-than-desirable circumstances must eventually be replaced by good fortune. So at last, here’s a week when you can expect a talkative, impassioned few days ahead. You have the determination. You have the confidence but best of all – you now have the gift of the gab. And it’s not all talk. Most Leos will make positive changes.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Monday 11th
Expect guarded progress, Virgo. While your love life is on the improve, there are still some loose ends that need tidying. Areas of caution include friends and family, mostly due to someone else’s high level of stress. Be there for loved ones if they need you. This week is all about your ability to support, without judgment.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Tuesday 12th
A tricky week, as you find it difficult to settle. You start one project, then you get restless and switch to something else…..and then the whole cycle starts again. Sure, this is typical of Libran behaviour but, right now, pushing your agenda before it’s ready to go isn’t the best recipe for success. Let your ideas simmer for a few days.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Friday 8th
The word failure isn’t in the Scorpio vocabulary. This week, though, life could become a tad more difficult. If things don’t go to plan, relax – try to calm that worried mind of yours. Sure, there’ll be some changes – but endings often bring fabulous new beginnings. Use this time to push your ideas and projects up a notch. Get one step ahead of the rest.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Sunday 10th
When happiness takes a sabbatical, you need to delve a little deeper to search for contentment. This is also more a time for giving rather than taking. Sometimes that’s easier said than done, especially if there’s a sense of loss accompanying current circumstances. Don’t worry – the cosmos repays a good deed done, often tenfold.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Wednesday 13th
Prepare for a power struggle, Capricorn. This might sound like unwelcome news when you’re already under such pressure – but quite the contrary. You’re in the right, and colleagues and those further up the career chain know it. They’re watching your reaction. Work it to your advantage.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Saturday 9th
Flexibility is usually the Aquarian key to survival, but not so this week. For now, you’ve permission to dig your heels in as stubbornly as you wish. Perhaps, too – you feel it’s pay back time. But revenge isn’t the answer. Retaliate with kindness, instead. In any case, it’s far more dignified just to walk away.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Friday 8th
Pisceans absorb energies so easily. You feel everything, good or bad – that happens around you. Any unkindness or criticism can truly hurt. Thankfully, here’s a week that makes little attempt to dampen your spirits. Money improves – just in time. So why not mix a little bit of business with a whole lot of pleasure?
