See what the stars have in store for you this week...

If you celebrate your birthday this week:

 

Your Year Ahead

Just a few short months ago, you were in a restless mood and now, you’re ready to cosy down into a less stressed lifestyle.  To add to the pleasure, the cosmos conjures up special love – and it’s not all of the romantic variety.  Overall, you should notice more compassion coming from within – and as you become more open, so will others.  What’s more, your social life looks nothing short of sensational.


Aries (March 21 – April 20)

Best Day: Sunday 6th

Disappointment can be hard to bear.  But you’ve shouldered your burdens well – and the cosmos now offers a reward. For some, life does a complete turn-around.  Instead of retreating from battle, you go on the attack.  Others simply get lucky – in money, and love.

 

Taurus (April 21 – May 20)

Best Day: Wednesday 9th

This week throws many Taureans into a more adventurous mood. Singles suddenly go on the prowl, and parties are wilder for your presence. Seemingly, it’s all about balancing the equation.  The more reserved you’ve been, the more uninhibited you become.

 

Gemini (May 21 to June 21)

Best Day:  Saturday 12th

It’s time for Geminis to take a much-needed break.  Even if you feel you could carry on, there’s probably little point.  Some old family spats get replayed, but this time around you should be able to move on and leave each other with a genuinely warm embrace.

 

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

Best Day: Sunday 6th

Everyone seems to be discussing the kind of worries you overcame years ago.  They want to explore every wrong turn, every mistake – in great detail.  Thankfully you’ve recognised the early warning signs, and make a break for it.  You don’t need the angst. 

 

Leo (July 23 – August 23)

Best Day: Thursday 10th

It’s possible to be loyal to long-held allegiances, and yet still maintain your independence. Many find this hard to comprehend, but Leos are a law unto themselves.  So if this week offers something more than the norm, be the first to give it a go.

 

Virgo (August 24 – September 22)

Best Day:  Tuesday 8th

Recent times haven’t been all that kind to you.  But over the years, 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.

 

Libra (September 23 – October 23)

Best Day:  Saturday 12th

How much is enough?  Not an easy question to answer when you’re on a roll.  Right now, many Librans are on a winning streak, or at least are imagining one.  Unfortunately, the goose that lays the golden egg could opt for an early retirement.  Don’t get greedy.

 

Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)

Best Day: Friday 11th

Don’t get caught up in unresolved mysteries, Scorpio.  Life’s enough of a riddle, and sometimes it’s best to just let enigmas be.  Although some questions seem to demand answers, not everything can be rushed.  All will be revealed in its own sweet time.

 

Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)

Best Day:  Sunday 6th

Sagittarians love their freedom.  After all, what’s the point of living on this beautiful, vast planet if we all huddle in one tiny corner. You were born to explore, to examine, to question.   Unfortunately, this week feels a tad more crowded than you like.  Hide, if you need to.

 

Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)

Best Day: Saturday 12th

Breathe easy, Capricorn  The cosmos is ready to set you back on track – financially and professionally.  But save some time for the moon, who’s also unravelling your love life. At last, you can expect a more relaxed rapport in this department.

 

Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)

Best Day:  Monday 7th

Feels like a fun week – so trying to attend to serious matters is more or less a waste of time. Your upbeat mood is contagious.  You’re also more open to discussion, which means that any long standing troubles could finally be resolved.  Everyone’s relieved.  

 

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Best Day: Tuesday 8th

Occasionally Pisceans can be distracted from what matters the most.  You.  Chances are you’ve been looking after everyone’s concerns but your own.  Not so now, when you’re offered the opportunity for self indulgence.  Go ahead – savour just how sweet life can be.
