If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
This is the perfect year for turning dreams into reality. Life gets a nudge in the right direction, but it’s up to you to go with your instincts. Newly acquired skills encourage originality. Family matters also look set to improve, partly due to your better handling. Occasionally, too, you should review work priorities to create more time for play. That’s what you need, and you’ve been given planetary permission to do just that.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Saturday 9th
Plans have been kept on hold lately. Maybe you’ve surrendered to others’ demands. Not so now this week. When Mercury powers forward on the 5th – so do you. Those who’ve tried to take advantage of you? They suffer a short, sharp shock. Never mess with an Aries on the attack.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Sunday 3rd
This week could find you a little wiser, and happier. For some, this relates to work matters. If so, put forward projects – no matter how ambitious. Thanks to a single-minded Mercury, others look to resolve a long standing mystery. A sudden epiphany, too, could stir that special “a’ha” moment.
Gemini (May 21 to June 21)
Best Day: Wednesday 6th
The world feels difficult enough right now, so the last thing you need is uninvited friends or family invading your privacy. Summon up the courage to tell others you need some quality time out. Honesty can sting, but at least it can help to maintain your sanity. You need time alone.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Monday 4th
There are times for looking after just yourself, and times for showing empathy towards others. Right now, you can lean towards the latter option. Of course, your own happiness is important, so don’t completely disregard your own needs. Balance is what’s required, particularly after the 5th.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Friday 8th
After the 5th, Mercury grants you permission to make changes. If you feel it’s time to move on, do so. While you can’t change the past – take comfort in knowing that every new day can lead to new beginnings. Start thinking positively, and watch your world expand.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Wednesday 6th
A quick review of finances should tell you whether or nor your budget is up to scratch. After the 5th, Mercury peeks over your shoulder and pushes you towards more practical solutions. Stay thrifty or, perhaps, there may even be an unexpected win! Save some for a rainy day.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Tuesday 5th
If you didn’t leap at the chance for that well deserved break last week, you must be crawling towards the nearest bed by now. It’s high time you stopped pushing your tolerance levels to the limit. You need a bit of a recharge before the next onslaught of work begins.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Friday 8th
Celebrating a recent success? Good for you! Reward yourself with a stunning new image. Experiment with colours and styles you wouldn’t normally try, and remember when it comes to style, less is often more. You could also end the week a tad richer, and happier.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Saturday 9th
Tap into this week’s extra cosmic energy. Whatever the project, muster the skills required to bring visionary ideas into concrete form. You can also enjoy the company that comes with success. The right people are drawn to you. Venture beyond your comfort zone.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Tuesday 5th
Grab this week of sanity and ride it for all it’s worth, Capricorn. Thanks to a forward moving Mercury, your thought processes fall into a sensible order – helping you to approach projects rationally. You’re again able to cope under pressure, thanks to use of logic and the power of focus.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Monday 4th
Aquarians are astute, determined and usually in control – and when it comes to change you can pretty much turn on a sixpence. Of course, others may resent a sudden remodelling of long held plans. What they need is reassurance – not ultimatums. Gently coax rather than demand.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Thursday 7th
If your life’s feeling unsettled, look to those closest to you. Or you might want to consider whether a friend, partner or potential suitor has been rocking the boat lately. True, you don’t want to cause a fuss – but perhaps a certain someone should be taken to task. Bring out that inner assertion.
