If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
What an amazing time it has been. Dramatic changes at work or home have either drawn issues closer together, or split them wide apart. And if you were hoping for a quieter year ahead, think again. The coming 12 months offer little respite as the cosmos whisks you from the wings and plants you firmly in the spotlight. Matters of love and work steal the opening scenes in August and September. If presented with different options in October, act quickly and decisively. December’s encore? Reciprocated love, a financial windfall and professional gain. Enjoy this delightful year.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Saturday 18th
When individuals are drawn to each other, the energies can occasionally be unstable. Sometimes, it’s two steps forward and one step back. The right balance for love to bloom takes patience. Even if you just achieve a friendship, there’s no loss. Just more love. Should you need to applaud another’s good fortune, please do. Your support matters.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Sunday 19th
Now that Mercury moves forward again, over the next few days you are free to sign contracts, schedule vital meetings, have significant conversations and make important decisions or purchases. Remain confident as you push ahead with anything that requires communication or forward planning. You’re back in control.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Saturday 18th
If you’ve spent the last three weeks feeling mentally scrambled, hampered or just plain indecisive, relief is near. It only takes a few days of Mercury being back on track for you to notice the difference. From here on out this mercurial planet will get stronger every day, as will you. Now it’s time to take action based on new insights learned over recent weeks.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Wednesday 22nd
Our lives are full of opportunities to start over; however, every so often there’s a potent energy in the air that gives us a turbo-charged boost and makes new beginnings far easier to accomplish. Now that Mercury steps forward again, forward planning is the key to a firm future, so this week investigate ways to make your life grow. Money’s no object.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Friday 17th
Life can be tough. Still, we must all assume that better times lie ahead. Lucky for you, a forward-moving Mercury does too. Your professional standing is in line for a boost, with opportunities coming from unusual sources. Indeed, being in the right place and making the right contacts are important ingredients to current success – so just go for it!
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Sunday 19th
It doesn’t matter whether you focus current attentions on travel, moving house, career or love – you can expect some positive changes. Some say you’re impatient. Possibly, but only regarding the trivialities of life. The strong resolve you’ve had to call on in recent times will now make you much more confident. You won’t be disappointed.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Thursday 23rd
If you’ve felt overburdened with responsibilities in recent times, a fast moving Mercury lifts your mood. Expect a busy social scene and an equally agile love life. With finances also improving, you’re not averse to the occasional spending spree. No surprises, then, if loved ones benefit from your generosity. Travel if you can – perhaps a cosy break-for-two?
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Monday 20th
If you’re feeling restless and drumming your fingers for action, a happier Mercury should supply it. In other words, you have planetary permission to prosper and enjoy. This extends to the romantic arena too. An irresistible magnetism keeps love on its toes, so don’t be surprised if someone’s eager to grab your exclusive attention.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Tuesday 21st
It’s a Sagittarian kind of week. Mercury is on the move, and so are you. Don’t worry too much about formalities – it’s your spirit that others will notice. Should you find yourself up against equally determined minds, stop and listen. You could actually learn from others opinions. But it’s not all work. Social invitations no longer need polite avoidance.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Thursday 23rd
Patient Capricorns should finally hear news which puts an end to frustrating delays. Life feels anything but dull. It’s also a major money week, with cash flowing in as well as out. Neglected romance should strengthen. Singles feel more confident about flaunting their assets. Something for everyone, it seems.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Friday 17th
Sharing the brighter and more affectionate side of your character comes naturally this week, and you’re more drawn towards risk and adventure. So if unexpected offers come sailing in, you’re keen to hop on board. Fortunately, instinct will help you negate any obstacles as you intuitively sail in the right direction.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Tuesday 21st
You’re exhausted Pisces, and it’s a fair bet that relationship issues need sorting. But a chirpier Mercury turns your attention away from life’s traumas. Give yourself permission to shift from to solitary, and back again; depending on your mood. Both modes of operation will work for you now. Take time out for some pampering, too.
