If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
Last year wrought a ridiculous number of working hours from you, often taking you one step forward and two steps back. Thankfully, this ends now. No longer on the back foot, you more confidently stride forward. About time too. Others are about to learn just how ambitious and single-minded you can be, and you’ll win the support of friends and family. After August, a glimpse through the cosmic peephole reveals an alternative career path. There’s unlimited enthusiasm too. Ditto for your love life. With the bedroom a prime outlet for releasing tension, most erotic wishes should be granted.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Saturday 15th
It’s a “now or never” kind of week. You’re determined to put yourself on the map – right here, right now. Even if your current job is stable, you crave more success, more money, just plain “more”… With vitality recharged, you’re ready to resume plans previously put on hold. Just don’t rush it, or you’ll force things to happen before their time.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Friday 14th
It’s a week of personal growth, Taurus – with enough cosmic cooperation to see you through. Team effort is all that’s required, and fortunately you’re on good talking terms where it matters. Just don’t place too much importance on money. Count your blessings, and know that life has more to offer than dollar signs.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Monday 17th
Appetites are satisfied in a week that’s hungry for meaning – you’re eager to taste life’s different delights. For some, this may mean spiritual advancement; others are set for a creative leap. Driven by an insatiable urge to learn as much as you can, you’ll enjoy the company and conversation of others. So fulfilling for a Gemini.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Sunday 16th
Much as you want to take control of a current situation, you should step back and see whether someone else takes the initiative. Don’t offer help unless you know it’s really needed. Sometimes, you just have to let others clean up their own mess. Financial concerns assume more importance. Income may increase, but so will expenses.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Thursday 20th
With the cosmos offering Leos a triad of wealth, pleasure and opportunity, you’d be forgiven for believing in miracles. Here’s your chance to make a dream come true. Truly, it’s a wonderful week for progress, with even the smallest effort on your part producing excellent results. You’re at your financial, creative and sexual best.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Tuesday 18th
It’s high time that others realised you’re an individual, not their personal slave. Your devotion to duty is inspiring, but the planets warn that no amount of success can replace strong health once it’s been lost. Some kind of financial dispute or personal wrangle places additional strain on an already overwrought nervous system.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Wednesday 19th
This week you could learn a great deal from someone “in the know”. Be open to the possibility of a partnership that may work to your advantage. Just make sure you’re dealing with above board, ethical people. There are a lot of fraudsters out there. Use your innate ability to get to the truth and don’t be rushed into financial decisions.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Saturday 15th
Not everyone’s feeling co-operative at the moment. If waiting on a promise, check it’s still scheduled for delivery. Be vigilant, Scorpio. If you’re not being kept informed, find out why. Be certain that what’s of offer is what’s delivered. Later in the week, life gets a pleasant nudge in the right direction. As does romance.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Monday 17th
The Full Moon in your own sign on the 17th tears up all the good-behaviour treaties you’ve put your name to over the years. Maybe your temper is unleashed during the heat of the moment or you’ve decided to finally voice niggling worries. Trouble is, it’s well past the calm before the storm. Daily routine could become a tad choppy.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Friday 14th
Those close to you are feeling confused by your seemingly indifferent manner. The real problem is that you’re feeling a little lost and vulnerable. You’re suppressing emotions instead of airing them. Give those worries and fears a voice. It’s time to trust others. A cliche, perhaps – but a problem shared is a problem halved.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Wednesday 19th
It’s hard to know whether your irrepressible nature is endearing or irresponsible, but it seems you’re determined to take a proverbial leap of faith. Having staked a claim on better opportunities, you’re ready to prove your talents. This week, you have the ability to attract and win over any person or situation to your advantage.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Tuesday 18th
There’s much to be said for routine, but the same thing day-in day-out can bind past and present into a blur of blandness. So this week’s hint of romance, creativity or, perhaps, the promise of travel arrive just in time. Throw yourself wholeheartedly into the options on offer – you are truly deserving.
