If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
Cosmic fireworks light up your life for the next year. Everything about your self-presentation and outlook on life becomes smarter, sassier and abundantly creative. It’s a time to shine, although your star performance could stir envy. Professionally, you have a definite idea of what you want, and you’re likely to get it. New romance may involve an age difference. It’s only Saturn who tries to instil a more conservative attitude, particularly towards money. But it is vital to build strong financial foundations – so save, if you can.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Saturday 5th
Whether or not you’re ready for a full-on week is beside the point. The fact is, it’s here and there’s no way you can ignore it. Your biggest concern: maintaining concentration – it’s imperative that you stay focused. Tackle one thing at a time. Singles have excellent opportunities for new love. Couples reclaim a strong sense of mutual sharing and trust.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Thursday 10th
This isn’t just another ordinary week, Taurus. The planets now offer life-changing opportunities. Restless mental energy and curiosity makes you look in unusual directions for new experiences to enjoy. Very little will escape your attention. You’re likely to receive unexpected visits or calls, or surprise others with good news. Travel’s also likely.
Gemini (May 21 to June 21)
Best Day: Sunday 6th
You become ambitious, with a growing awareness of your special talents. In doing so, unhappy conditions are no longer tolerated. Just don’t assume total authority on every topic at hand. It’s a sure bet that someone with more knowledge will eventually call you to question. In the meantime, bank balances need to stay healthy.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Friday 4th
Personal relationships may be up for renegotiation. People are full of surprises, no matter how much you think you know them. It seems that some serious issues need your attention right now. This week, try to find a better balance between your personal and professional life – even if it means taking a few days off work.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Sunday 6th
If given a second chance at ventures that previously didn’t go so well – figure out who’s best at what and drum up a solid sense of camaraderie. Accept moments of mutual ambition with appreciation. Give openly and this generosity will be returned when you need it most. A lazy stroll down memory lane could turn out to be an adrenaline run.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Saturday 5th
Dare to peep out from underneath the doona, and you’ll find that things may not seem that bad. If there’s an easy way of working through any problems, you’ll find it. After all, you’re a natural fix-it. After the 9th, communication skills the hot end of the scale. But don’t lose your nerve if better opportunities come from unexpected sources.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Wednesday 9th
Many Librans have been rushed lately. Perhaps you should stop for a minute, and tend to more mundane tasks – groceries, for instance. You need to eat. On the upside: you should notice much self-improvement. It’s all to do with a clever mind, confidence and very strong personal magnetism. You’re also entitled to your fair share of fun!
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Monday 7th
Nothing you’ve done to date is wasted. Consider all past experience as a gold mine to tap into later on. The week could also introduce a gifted individual who helps to promote you. Some may resent this moment of glory. If placed on the defence, bring on your greatest weapon – your cool detachment. We’re all blessed with our special traits for a reason.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Tuesday 8th
You’ve had some great ideas lately and can’t wait to put them into motion. Just consider: have you included your partner or a particular friend in the decision making? They deserve to voice their opinions. On the upside: if you can manage a romantic escape as well, even better. Go make some lasting memories. The happy kind.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Monday 7th
If you can placate rather than push, you’ll be fine. Unfortunately, you’re in a stubborn mood and not really open to others’ suggestions. This week asks that you resolve any emotional issues. A tough ask, considering what’s been happening. Nonetheless, forgiveness of both yourself and others can only lead to peace of mind.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Friday 4th
It seems that the more contact you have with others this week, the more cash you part with. Yes, Aquarius – it’s open-wallet season. Even if you’re not the one who’s eager to splash out, someone close seems more than happy to spend on your behalf. Other concerns include real estate negotiations or family legal matters.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Thursday 10th
You’ve half a mind to make a run for it, especially when friends or family intrude or inflict their disapproving views. It’s a confusing week all round, Pisces – so the best thing you can do is just go about your business, and ask others to do the same. Upside: those available for romance should take every opportunity to be in the direct line of vision.
