If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
It’s been said that a small number of individuals can make big changes, and you’ll do just that this year. Nothing less than prestige and worthy recompense will cut it now. Even if presented with the odd setback, you can relax in the knowledge that you’re a stayer who’s in for the win. When you believe in yourself, others do too - so hold on to your dreams. Not everything will offer immediate rewards, but plans put in motion this year promise plenty of eventual gain. Love, too, features strongly and luxuries aren’t off the agenda. Despite these challenging times, you can still live life to the full!
Aries (March 21 - April 20)
Best Day: Saturday 18th
Your head’s spinning, Aries. Not surprising, considering this week’s cash crisis. And for you, no funds means no fun. Perhaps it’s time to restore financial equilibrium. Soon the cosmos will step in with a emergency back-up plan, but not for a few weeks. So until then, stay frugal. There are many delightful ways to have fun, without breaking the bank.
Taurus (April 21 - May 20)
Best Day: Sunday 19th
If you’ve suffered minor setbacks, don’t fret. Pursue what’s working and leave the rest behind. This week spurs a change of image - not because you’re looking jaded, but because you’re ready to tackle this crazy world on new terms. Your own. And if you can squeeze in enough time for an online spend-up, all the better.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21)
Best Day: Friday 17th
If recent events have left you disheartened, remember that few situations are set in stone. When one way is blocked, find another. Everything shifts and changes Gemini, as the week ahead sets to prove. The cosmos brings joy into your relationships, as well as the motivation to find an alternative work plan.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22)
Best Day: Monday 20th
Now, here’s a better week - as others seem more prepared to grant your requests. By now you’ve probably accumulated a very long wish list, so gently start hinting at what you want. They say that there’s a time and a place for everything. For you, it’s now. There’s also focus on rebuilding friendships - albeit via social media.
Leo (July 23 - August 23)
Best Day: Wednesday 22nd
Sobering Saturn now calls for less speculation and more consolidation of resources. This message may be frustrating, but a temporary slowdown is inevitable during these difficult times. If you’re going to spend anything this month, make sure it’s just some “quality time” with your nearest and dearest.
Virgo (August 24 - September 22)
Best Day: Thursday 23rd
If you’ve been putting off a tough conversation, you might be forced to do just that. Of course you’d prefer to skirt around the facts - but this week you can’t escape reality. It’s a sobering time, but also a chance to own up to your own duplicity. Just don’t try to compensate with your overly-caustic wit, as your words might seem dark in tone.
Libra (September 23 - October 23)
Best Day: Friday 17th
Sometimes Libran naivety leads you to put your confidence in situations and people that aren’t trustworthy. You did not ask to be hurt, but hurt you were. At some point, you must forgive those who have caused you pain. If the time’s not yet right, don’t force anything. Be gentle with yourself. A meditative solo walk in nature could be just what you need.
Scorpio (October 24 - November 22)
Best Day: Sunday 19th
Putting your grand plans into motion could prove to be tricky this week. Pushing your agenda before it's primed to go is not a recipe for success. Activate your creativity, and let it lead you in the right direction: freewrite, journal, make a collage. It could generate that major ‘a-ha’ moment that provides you with a key piece of the puzzle.
Sagittarius (November 23 - December 21)
Best Day: Tuesday 21st
Don’t assume you’re the sole trustee of all the right answers and don’t dismiss alternative views before they’re even heard. The planets have sudden shifts of mood and energy this week, and so do you. If there’s anything important you want to discuss or organise, leave it until week’s end. You’re less likely to stir up a hornet’s nest.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 20)
Best Day: Thursday 23rd
Mars secures your financial sector this week, pretty well assuring more money. Even long shot offers hold better promise than they normally might. Spending becomes obsessive. It’s a must-have month, regardless of budgetary limits. Both your image and home are in for an overhaul. Don’t worry. At times, we all suffer a bout of financial insanity, so enjoy.
Aquarius (January 21 - February 18)
Best Day: Saturday 18th
Recent planetary shenanigans may have left you feeling a tad overwhelmed But this week helps lift exhaustion, or sagging spirits. To top it off, finances look sharper than they have been for a while. So should the cosmos signal the time’s right for extravagance, don’t argue. Stay amenable for surprising events.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Best Day: Wednesday 22nd
You’re about to set yet a new course, but this change in direction may bring some tough decisions. If at odds with a spouse or business associate, the main source of conflict is likely to be money. While one wants to save, the other is more interested in spending. A sensible compromise may be to spend only what you have - put all credit on hold.
