If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
Good news: for much of 2022, the pleasure principle rules – with fun and love outweighing the burden of responsibility. Whatever happens, Sagittarians seem determined to grab life and run with it. The only threat lurking in the heavens is Saturn – but even then, it’s unlikely that you’ll meet a lengthy negative stretch. At most, you may be thrown under a cold shower during the times you need it. Regard this as a chance for a reality check, and you’ll be back in action fast enough. In matters of the heart, after March you discover that forbidden fruits taste all that sweeter. Think erotic and exotic.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Friday 10th
This week is all about sticking to what you know best. The Sun emphasises routine, so work with what’s familiar. You’ll make up for any lost time soon enough. Also, don’t exaggerate the facts – as this may cause misunderstandings. Use tact and charm when faced with dilemmas. Compromise and be prepared to listen to others.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Sunday 12th
If you can command some sort of respect in this self-serving world, you’re not doing too badly. This week, many Taureans fare better than most. Perhaps it’s because you’ve finally sorted your thoughts into coherent order. Suddenly, it all makes sense. After midweek, look out for new ways to increase your income.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Friday 10th
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.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Thursday 16th
Reassess which aims are worth pursuing and which aren’t, then discard anything (or anyone) that’s become troublesome. At the same time, you might like to throw new ideas around with other like-minded or more compatible friends or family. It’s said that many hands make light work. Indeed, the planets suggest safety in numbers.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Sunday 12th
It’s hard to know whether your irrepressible nature is endearing or irresponsible, but it seems you’re determined to take a proverbial leap of faith. Having staked a claim on better opportunities, you’re ready to prove your talents. This week, you have the ability to attract and win over any person or situation to your advantage.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Thursday 16th
Those close to you may be feeling confused by your seemingly distant manner. The real problem is that many Virgos now feel a tad lost or vulnerable. You’re hiding emotions instead of airing them. Give those worries and fears a voice. It’s time to trust others. A cliche, perhaps – but a problem shared is a problem halved.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Saturday 11th
It’s high time that others realised you’re an individual, not their personal servant. Your devotion to duty is inspiring, but the planets warn that no amount of success can replace strong health once it’s been lost. Some kind of financial dispute or personal wrangle may place additional strain on an already overwrought nervous system.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Wednesday 15th
There’s not much in the heavens to help you along this week. Basically, it’s up to you to stay in control, because if anything – the planets are spoiling for a squabble. Despite being under pressure, don’t give in to conflict. And there’s no consolation to be found comfort eating, either. Try a portion of exercise instead.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Friday 10th
It’s not like you to be so biased, Sagittarius. Just remember that everyone has a right to their own opinions, and that could at least get you back on talking terms. Although tired, you have just enough energy to wave the white flag and agree to meet on neutral territory. Chances of ending conflict improve with a mutual meeting of minds. Call a truce.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Tuesday 14th
Much as you want to take control of a current situation, you should step back and see whether someone else takes the initiative. Don’t offer help unless you know it’s really needed. Sometimes, you just have to let others clean up their own mess. Financial concerns assume more importance, as expenses increase.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Monday 13th
Your mind is on the move, and the change looks positive. Basically, it comes down to trusting your instincts and then acting on them quickly. For many, this will mean new work or study. And why not take a chance on love? All this, thanks to fiery Mars sparking up your chart. It seems that, this week, you’re irresistible.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Saturday 11th
Put the brakes on any major decisions this week, Pisces. With your usual commonsense taking a leave of absence, you’re pretty much left under the command of more erratic emotions. Perhaps you’re hiding something, or not telling all? Be honest, and let others know your true feelings. It won’t be as traumatic as you think.
