If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
Jupiter becomes a favourite house guest, bringing joy, hope, new friendships and optimism – as well as unlimited potential for personal and professional growth.  As we rarely get something for nothing, expect some hard work as well. Be prepared to ditch dead-end plans – this will ready you for the new challenges ahead. Travel, love and laughter also feature.  Fortunately, money is not too much of a problem, so you can afford to play as hard as you work.  There’s also enough planetary diversions to promise unusual romantic adventures.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day:  Wednesday 14th
 
From the start of the week, you’re encouraged to recover lost ground. Expect change; lightning fast change – mostly in how you see and interact with this world. Outworn personas and values start to disintegrate. Soon, a new you will emerge – morally, mentally and spiritually. You may also feel a sudden urge to travel. Venture as far as you dare.
 
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day:  Monday 12th
 
It’s a week to move on, Taurus. Send your personal demons back to their dungeons, and shake off all that pent-up anger. Free up mind, body and soul for the happier times ahead. Remember, too, that you’re absolutely perfect just the way you are, and you have an inherent right to happiness and abundance. Love, too.  
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day:  Sunday 11th
 
The planets are feeling fidgety and keen to kick you along.  Travel’s a strong possibility, while love is fuelled by passion. For established duos, this is a magical week. Singles also grab their fair share of romantic fun. When it comes to finances, though, Saturn is behaving like a total creep. Extravagance becomes the first victim of budgetary culling.
 
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day:  Thursday 15th
 
There’s little point being stubborn at a time when flexibility could become your best friend. Loosen up a little, Cancer. Fortunately, the planets make it easier for you by encouraging a change of direction. There are bound to be moments of trepidation, but this week’s focus is on pushing past known limits. You’ve been stuck in a rut for too long.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day:  Tuesday 13th

For some time now, you’ve suffered upheaval. Still, the experience hasn’t been all bad – you’ve gained the gifts of wisdom, tenacity and tolerance. The planets now also announce major changes and escalating confidence. Socially, you sizzle. Romance wins a generous time slot, with enough allure to conjure up sensational summer love.

Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day:  Saturday 10th
 
For too long, Virgos have weathered tough times and worn all the nonsense that the heavens could muster. Not so this week, when you’re encouraged spread your wings and fly. What you find are abundant opportunities.  And this has nothing to do with coincidence. You’ve clocked up plenty of karmic brownie points, and it’s reward time. 
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day:  Wednesday 14th
 
Your real rewards arrive soon but there’s plenty to accomplish this week. If you can survive the occasional setback, there’s no stopping you. Just stay determined and forthright. One individual in particular has a powerful effect on you. A little extravagance is also likely, as many Librans are able to enjoy spending more than usual.
 
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day:  Monday 12th
 
Many facets of our lives are subject to change, and this week it’s relationships. This kind of repair work will need your commitment, personally and financially. But progress in any area is seldom easy without patience and perhaps, some compromise. Besides, there’s a special kind of wealth to be found in genuine love and friendship.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Saturday 10th
 
Job satisfaction can be hard to achieve, especially if your heart’s not really in it. Sure, you probably know what you’d prefer to be doing but in trying to meet those endless bills, there’s not much freedom of choice.  Why not consider retraining?  If nothing else, it’ll keep your mind active.  Just don’t take on more than you can handle.
 
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20) 
Best Day:  Friday 9th
 
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.  
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day:  Monday 12th
 
You have the enviable ability to catch hold of yourself in times of chaos and do a quick reality check. Just as well, as life’s been a busy blur of activity recently – and you’ve probably made more changes than usual. Unnerving, but certainly exhilarating. Just don’t be guilted or seduced into following another’s dreams.  
 
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day:  Sunday 11th
 
Even the greatest thinkers occasionally need reality checks. Sure, your dreams are attainable – but only if they conform to the realms of possibility. You shouldn’t ignore alternative solutions. A simplified love life could also help lower blood pressure.  Choose to play the field thoughtlessly, and you may get caught out.
