If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
Sometimes there’s no rhyme or reason to this whole “reward” thing, with benefits seemingly arriving from nowhere. A hint of romance, extra cash and the strong suggestion of travel arrive in this coming year’s parcel of cosmic goodies. And if you’ve felt the chains of restriction lately, you’re given the opportunity for a clean break. There’s also likely to be a noticeable change in the way you spend extra leisure hours, as health awareness starts to creep in. But should an inclination for taking risks surface, go with it. Many will be surprised by your newfound strength of spirit.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Saturday 14th
Feeling frazzled? Not surprising. Times have been tough, with money issues demanding more attention. Good news: stress finally starts to ease, to the point where you can relax. Quality time isn’t so easy to come by these days, so accept this short spell of fun and friendship as a gift from the heavens. Whatever happens, simply enjoy.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Friday 13th
If you doubt whether you’re making the right decisions this week, trust that you are. It’s also a time for friendships. What can you hope for? Unconditional support. Not only in the assistance that you offer, but in the encouragement that’s so readily returned. And with a higher public profile, new contacts help to expedite plans. Much to look forward to.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Wednesday 18th
Your head spins with the number of activities and social engagements this week, as this is a fast-paced time. Team efforts also get a real boost, even if the collective decision-making process gets a tad stressful. Tempers may flare, but don’t forget that some fiery talk can also be productive – as long as everyone gets a chance with the microphone.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Sunday 15th
Communication is your sword and shield this week, but there comes a point when words aren’t enough and those splendid ideas must be put to the test. The urge for independence also prompts change in relationships. For singles: someone older becomes a serious suitor. Established couples should hold on tight to what’s worthy.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Saturday 14th
Finances and work share the same upward trend this week. Sometimes, though, it can be easy to waste opportunities, simply because over-optimism can lead to taking things for granted. Plant the seeds of success now, so that they may grow taller and stronger in the months to come. Plenty of support comes from friends and family.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Thursday 19th
Love wins a generous time slot, though there could also be some trickery in the heavens. This could mean that flirtations start to mean more than intended. And chances are, it’ll be you who’s doing the tempting. Indeed, prudence doesn’t exactly spring to mind as your word of the week – hedonistic is closer to the mark. A beguiling time.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Monday 16th
Rest is pretty much out of the question this week. Demanding work schedules put a stop to fun, but the financial rewards should more than make up for it. At best, you’ll squeeze in an intense – but short-lived, flirtation. That should let off some steam. If self-discipline is one of your life lessons, you’re a strong candidate for the repeat class right now.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Wednesday 18th
Being with loved ones is a constant source of inspiration for Scorpios – they offer you devotion and, with the odd exception, reciprocate the support you grant them. So why would you suddenly take all this for granted? There’s no denying that you should enjoy your hard-earned triumphs, but be sure to share the rewards. Bind those friendships tight.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Tuesday 17th
Saturn still puts its hand on your shoulder in a way that says you should steady down on the spending. The same caution applies to your possessions – put everything under lock and key if you have to. Hold onto what you’ve got, put nothing at risk and get derailed finances back on track. Focus on earning money, Sagittarius – not spending it.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Sunday 15th
Though you’d prefer to shift into neutral, the cosmos asks that you continue in fast gear. You’ve been doing it tough for some time. Illness, work pressures, family matters – too many demands have drained your spirit. Thankfully, better moments lie ahead. Late week offers financial opportunities, new love or renewed sentimental ties.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Monday 16th
With passions soaring you’re on something of a romantic bender. Whether you rev up the intensity of a current arrangement or brush up against an entirely new body – the outcome promises to be spectacular. Watch your levels of expectation all the same. This isn’t exactly a rock solid phase, with illicit affairs looking particularly short-lived.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Friday 13th
Playing the perpetual peacemaker can sometimes leave you wondering about the myth of give-and-take. This week, your more aggressive edge works to your benefit. Some may still choose to openly disagree with your values and ideals, while others simply refuse to keep up with your faster pace. Ignore their jibes and go about your own business.
