If you celebrate your birthday this week:

Your Year Ahead
 
Although sometimes it seems that fate gives with one hand and takes with the other, without the occasional challenge life would stagnate.  Thankfully, a long cycle of struggle is nearing an end, though some patience is still required.  This year, Jupiter significantly lifts your career profile.  The months ahead also signal noteworthy breakthroughs – perhaps via property deals or relocation.  Ditto for new studies or training.  One warning: sometimes it’s all too easy to fritter away the good fortune that Jupiter brings.  By all means enjoy, but be equally determined to turn those dreams you’ve been nurturing into solid reality.  
 
 
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day:  Monday 4th
 
It’s possible to be loyal to long-held allegiances, and yet still maintain your independence. Many find this hard to comprehend, but Ariens are a law unto themselves.  So if this week offers something more than the norm, be the first to give it a go.  It’s an ideal time for tackling gutsy new business ventures.  Set your sights on prosperity and success.  
 
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day:  Sunday 3rd
 
Knowledge is power.  It’s also the key to a successful and satisfying future, so make new studies a priority this week.  Travel could also expand horizons.  If these options aren’t possible, then simply pick up a new book.  You’ll be amazed at what you could learn.  Single Taureans could begin a romance with someone from a different country or culture.
 
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day:   Tuesday 5th
 
Recent times haven’t been all that kind to you, Gemini.  But over time, you have learned that life’s wheel turns in cycles, and that less-than-desirable circumstances are eventually toppled by good fortune.  This week, a special situation brings a special reward.  You can now make a lasting impression on those in authority.  
 
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day:  Saturday 2nd
 
Occasionally Cancerians can be distracted from what matters the most.  You.  Chances are you’ve been looking after everyone’s concerns but your own.  Not so this week, when you’re offered the opportunity for self-indulgence.  Go ahead – savour just how sweet life can be.  You should enjoy good company.
 
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day:  Friday 1st
 
How much is enough?  Not an easy question to answer when you’re on a roll.  Right now, many Leos are on a winning streak, or at least imagining one.  Just don’t get greedy.  If you’re single, a new love you wouldn’t usually consider eligible may enter the scene.  Couples find news ways of becoming mutually supportive.
 
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day:  Wednesday 6th
 
This week is well-suited for deep thought. Your mind is ready to come up with new plans, but it needs some quiet time to piece the puzzles together.  Others may try to distract you – but don’t let them.  You don’t need their company right now.  You need to concentrate. If any decisions you make are unhurried, you should do well.  
 
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day:  Thursday 7th
 
Seems you’ve stepped into the right week, Libra.  You’re positively dripping with charisma, and cheeky enough to flaunt it.  Words roll smoothly off your tongue.  The planets also imply financial gain through inheritance, business partners or marriage.  Debts are paid; cash flow increases, with romantic prospects for the unattached.  Enjoy.
 
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day:  Sunday 3rd
 
We all move on and leave things and people behind. It’s the way this old world of ours turns. But before starting on life’s next chapter, bring unresolved issues to an end. This week, it’s essential you complete unfinished business.  If you don’t, the cosmos will do it for you. And we all know you prefer to be the one in control.
 
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day:  Wednesday 6th
 
There’s a creative life force within us all that propels us forward whether we’re aware of it or not.  It’s all about getting in touch with your own personal power.  It’s about bravery and certainty, which must be accessed in order to see what your next step will be.  Be audacious, Sagittarius.  Where will life take you next?
 
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20) 
Best Day:  Saturday 2nd
 
You’re on the up, Capricorn. Not only are the ideas sparking, they’re also connecting. At times, your projects can dawdle along – but not now.  Jaws drop as you power into top gear.  Week’s end concentrates on finances.  Money and assets take priority – but family life must get a look-in too.  
 
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day:  Tuesday 5th
 
Aquarians tend to hold firm beliefs. Usually, it takes a very strong argument to convince you of anything but your own mind. Occasionally, though, you meet intriguing new company that instigates effortless change.  Could this be love?  Or maybe, a delightful friendship.  The urge to abandon all commitments is understandable.  
 
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day:  Monday 4th
 
Someone older may offer help with a personal matter.  Despite your initial caution about their sincerity, your secret is safe with them.  Take the chance to push yourself forward at work, or socially.  There’s very little harm that can come your way when there’s so much support lifting you high.
