See what the stars have in store
Your Year Ahead

Excitement is on offer this year, and you’re pretty much free to choose your own adventure.  The cosmos lends an assertive edge that pushes work along nicely.  Business and money matters look promising.  You meet competition and challenges with greater confidence.  Just watch out for potential pitfalls, including over-exertion.  Remember, too, that you travel among others, so don’t trash their sensitivities.  People respect your honesty, but they treasure tact and compassion more.  
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day:  Saturday 20th

Life gets a nudge in the right direction, but it’s up to you to take that first step forward.  Reviewing work priorities should create more time for play – and that’s what you truly need.  To get the best from this week, why not take a few days break.  Divert all calls to message bank.  Go play! 

Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day:   Friday 19th
 
Sweep the less savoury issues of life to the side.  Sure, you’ll blow the budget – but the memories will more than make up for it.  And it’s not just you doing the giving.  Generosity becomes a two-way street as others reciprocate love and support.  Romance thrives and survives.   Seems that this could be your lucky week, Taurus.  Simply, enjoy.
 
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day:  Thursday 25th
 
Fate, destiny or synchronicity, call it what you like – something’s about to happen. If you have important choices to make, trust your intuition.  At work, expect to rub shoulders with more professionally oriented people.  Friends at the top have no qualms about helping you, so make the most of your contacts.  The outcome could be sensational.  
 
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day:  Tuesday 23rd
 
There’s something truly comforting about returning to familiar surroundings, especially if times have been tough.  More recently, any solo experiences were necessary, and now you get to enjoy the support of friends and family.  It’s time to put down emotional roots.  There could also be financial gain through real estate.
 
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day:  Sunday 21st
 
This week gives you the chance to move forward. Once again, you’re motivated and headed towards success. If you’ve brilliant ideas in the back of your mind, bring them to the fore.  Nonetheless, pace your efforts.  Though changes still need making – allow a sensible time span between each.  Right now, steady groundwork is required.
 
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day:  Monday 22nd
 
This week looks set for some theatrical moments, and heaven help those who try to upstage you.  However, if tempted to lay down the-law-according-to-Virgo, don’t. The more you belligerent you become, the greater the resistance.  Leave the melodrama to the fire signs such as Leo and Aries – it suits them better.
 
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day:  Friday 19th
 
You prefer your life uncluttered, Libra.  It’s unfortunate, then, that this week looks a tad messy – especially for those in love affairs. Perhaps one participant has failed to mention that there’s another in the mix.  Are you really ready to risk current love for the sake of an albeit passionate – but short term fling?   Business, however, looks set to prosper.  
 
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day:  Tuesday 23rd
 
Sometimes you feel like you just don’t belong on this planet.  Others don’t seem to understand your unique imagination.  Happily, this week gives the rest of us dullards a chance to catch up and beam in to your other-worldly wavelengths.  While in such a romantic mood, do yourself a huge favour and take time out to play.
 
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day:  Saturday 20th
 
You’re in a fighting mood.  Some might call your attitude aggressive, but you say you’re being assertive.  One warning:  we all do and say things we later regret and this week could bring that red-faced moment.  But nothing’s beyond repair, especially with a romantic partner.  Just kiss and make up.
 
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20) 
Best Day:  Wednesday 24th
 
A determined Capricorn with nothing to do spells trouble.  You’re on a professional and creative bender that can’t be suppressed. The alternative? Sit still and risk spontaneous combustion.  And don’t panic if a nearest and dearest appears out of emotional reach.  At times, we all need our private space.   There are still plenty of special moments to be had.
 
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day:  Friday 19th
 
Even super-intuitive Aquarians can find current planetary progress a tad perplexing. The meddling of a moody cosmos further contributes to an already tricky situation by introducing random elements into your life.  To add to the general disruption, a secret someone returns.  Or someone else, just as abruptly – leaves.  
 
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day:  Thursday 25th
 
Being deliberately outspoken isn’t your usual style, but expressing your concerns just might help you get what you want.  Silence isn’t always golden.  Should you be worried that opportunities are passing you by – don’t fret.  Seeds have been planted.  Hard work and determination will do the rest.  Communications start to improve.
