If you celebrate your birthday this week
Your Year Ahead
Thanks to Saturn’s positive input and tireless effort on your part, your status soars and money problems finally start to ease. This should be your year – particularly in terms of material gain. Though work may demand longer and harder hours, you’re rewarded with unprecedented success. Romance is equally inspiring. The cosmos intensifies emotions, unearths buried feelings and encourages you to identify what’s important for long-term happiness. Many Leo singles decide to wed, while secure partnerships feel more settled. Stressed relationships could come to an end, but for those seeking new love – Jupiter hints at romance that could be found very close to home.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Monday 22nd
The Sun squares up to Uranus this week, making internal alarm bells ring. This means the cosmos is making an effort to create a new you, by attempting to detach you from any person, place or thing that no longer suits you. You’ll soon start an emotional or physical journey – ready or not!
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Sunday 21st
With most Taureans feeling at ease, life suddenly seems effortless. Daily hassles give way to a sense of calm and security. And being equally comfortable with everyone around you, you’ll enjoy good company and continue to make the best of team efforts. Nonetheless, if someone is complicating simple issues – go it alone.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Thursday 25th
Love is in the air. Play your cards right and a new kind of enticing play arises, and arouses. Committed couples willing to give their imaginations full reign also stand a good chance of merging more than their souls. At work, don’t let opportunities pass you by. People in authority are watching, and they like what they see.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Wednesday 24th
As one particular phase of your life comes to an end, you trade what’s worn-out for something a little different. Romantically, you’re on hot new hunting grounds. Financially, you’re not. While the wolf isn’t as yet at the door, the bills soon will be – so budget accordingly.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Friday 19th
Seems that you’re sensitive to the slightest hint of criticism this week, Leo. Please don’t overreact to casual comments. No one is out to deliberately hurt you. And if you are feeling more vulnerable – let others know. At work, too, your impatience could lead you astray. Don’t scatter energies, or you could end up exhausted.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Monday 22nd
Good one, Virgo. You’ve managed to make it to this point without being caught out. All you have to do now is keep your cards pinned close to your chest while doing business as usual. Two hints: don’t say more than you have to, and don’t try to fix what isn’t broken. This week, keep everything on an even keel.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Wednesday 24th
Common sense proves to be your biggest ally this week, when you’re asked to be more giving in your approach to life and love. Children draw out your nurturing tendencies, or close friends and family request a helping hand. If that means putting up with minor gripes, so be it. You now have heavenly support.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Saturday 20th
Scorpio, when will you learn? The more you give, the less grateful others become. Finally, your patience may start to run thin. You’re about to stop giving, and start to nip with that poisonous tail of yours. The sudden shock of a painful sting brings you extra appreciation from others.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Thursday 25th
Job satisfaction can be elusive, especially if your heart’s not really in it. You probably know what you’d prefer to be doing but in trying to meet endless bills, there’s not much freedom of choice. Why not consider retraining? Give yourself permission to explore new territory or options, and the answer will become obvious in good time.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Friday 19th
With independence as your driving force, you’re tired of pandering to others’ egos. At the same time, the planets encourage new business and financial schemes – so expand your network of contacts. Late week continues to keep you busy – with noticeable improvement in your interactions with colleagues. Love isn’t out of the question either.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Thursday 25th
Life may feel like an uphill struggle this week, with challenges causing frustration. Should things not go to plan, relax. Calm that anxious mind and you’ll find the strength to battle on. From adversity comes victory, and a supreme sense of self satisfaction. More money, too – and an increasingly relaxed love life.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Saturday 20th
Periods of high stress can make us feel like were losing it, as can being surrounded by people whose values are very different from our own. For most of us, the key to survival at times like these is to step back, take a deep breath and regain our composure. Then we can decide what course of action to take.
