If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
For a while now, the cosmos has been challenging situations that have previously acted as a safe anchor. Effectively, you’ve been cast adrift. It’s little wonder, then, that you’ve so often felt lost at sea. Thankfully, this year the planets retake the helm and navigate you to safety. This marks the end of your solo voyage. Your most important areas of life this year will be friendships, career and health. January starts with a surge of energy. Soon after, you should have a far better idea of where – and just how far – you really want to go.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Monday 10th
If you have anything to announce to the world, do it now. You’re in the mood to tell it like it is. Insights come out of the blue, so give yourself permission to dream big. At the same time, be sure to involve others. Collaborate your way towards success. Just be sure to give everyone equal attention to avoid hurt feelings.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Sunday 9th
You’re ready for enchantment and a whole lot more excitement. Fortunately, the cosmos agrees. With quite a few zodiac neighbours still struggling, there are very few people around to disrupt your plans. Take this time to strengthen work strategies. New friendships also appear promising, as do financial prospects.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Saturday 8th
This week the cosmos organises your agenda. There are bound to be moments of trepidation, but you’ve been stuck in a rut for too long now. So if opportunity knocks, lay out a welcome mat. A super-charged cosmos ensures that you’re in the right place at the right time – making the right decisions. Ditto for romantic encounters.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Tuesday 11th
This week home is where the heart is. It’s is a time to nurture those you love, and draw new love to you. You may also feel a greater need to have a place of your own. Money may be spent on entertaining at home; with some upgrading or DIY thrown in for good measure. Just avoid the usual tendency to overspend.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Sunday 9th
Leos need little coaxing to enjoy life – it’s what you do best. And that’s what this week seems to be all about – good old-fashioned fun and luck. Standby for a radiant social life, as relationships look set to flourish. Later in the week, try to balance your work and personal lives. A fated attraction could also help your career, with the possibility of travel.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Monday 10th
One particular project rules this week’s agenda. Virgos seek broader horizons through knowledge, travel or meditation. Ideas become more intense as your spiritual and intellectual awareness deepens. Others recognise your talents. In turn, their assistance boosts a past slump in confidence.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Friday 7th
Many around you don’t seem to be in a rush, which means it’s up to you to hurry them along. For anyone else, this would be a big ask, but not for charming Librans. Just make sure you take time out at week’s end for Venus’s little erotic treat. The pursuit of pleasure should be denied no one – least of all you.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Wednesday 12th
Stress threatens to trip your overload switch. Slow it up and let the pressure ease. This week let intimacy and friendship take priority over professional ambitions. There’ll always be commitments to worry about, but you should be rediscovering the art of play. Learn to enjoy the life that you share with others.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Friday 7th
Focus on your success, Sagittarius – there has been plenty of it. Sure, you may feel like the proverbial wallflower every now and then, but people love you. Remember this as you step into December’s social whirl. Even if someone’s not playing by the rules, ignore their pettiness and head for friendlier ground.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Thursday 13th
Your moods have wavered for some time now, but should resentment pay the Capricorn spirit a brief visit this week, it’s best given the cold shoulder. You’re probably tapping into injustices running well back into younger years. It’s time to let bygones be bygones. Yesterday is history, and tomorrow’s a mystery – so concentrate on the here and now.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Tuesday 11th
Here’s a week when one detour leads to another. If coupled, you might want more independence, but be sure to give your partner the same freedom. Singles can expect love that’s short and sweet and for now, that’s the way you like it. Should the planets argue for a career change, don’t ignore them. Be grateful for any timely guidance.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Saturday 8th
Money and work play a strong role this week, and the outlook is positive. There may be some red tape regarding finances, but even that won’t phase you. At play, an old love could be rekindled. And though you may feel warmed by the familiarity of an old flame, if you’re serious about the present – don’t surrender to the past.
