If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
This year is all about forgiving and forgetting. It’s a period for you to move on. Send your personal demons back to their dungeons, and all that pent up anger should start to ease. Free up your mind, body and soul for the happier times ahead. Your commitments won’t disappear, but they can be handled in a happier way. The answer lies in knowing that you are whole within yourself. You’re absolutely perfect the way you are, and you have an inherent right to happiness and abundance. Love, too. All that’s needed now is for you to shelve any resentments. Enjoy.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Saturday 14th
Kick off your shoes and let the events of this past year disappear. You have every right to demand a break. It’s been a traumatic time – but your Aries courage and compassion rarely waned. Better still, you’ve survived, and emerged stronger and wiser for it. So treat yourself to something luxurious and extravagant – let the pampering begin.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Sunday 15th
Cast aside all your usual caution and bring out all that’s bright and beautiful in yourself. You’re in the mood for love and laughter, Taurus – and what better time of year for it! Outdoor activities also appeal. And with Lady Luck also on side, taking a chance could pay off in wonderful ways. Enjoy the festivities ahead.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Monday 16th
You’re in the mood to putter around the kitchen, go to the beach or simply relax. Not surprising – it’s been a big year, and the seasonal festivities are just around the corner. Combine having fun with low-key relaxation. Rent a film, go Christmas shopping or go to the movies. Be honest with loved ones – you just need some time to chill.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Friday 13th
You’re blessed with a fabulous festive season. Work duties don’t completely disappear, but now they’re mixed with plenty of time to mingle. Many zodiac neighbours may still struggle with money and, mostly, you’re spared this. Quite rightly, too. You’ve been through enough financial hardship this year. It’s time to play.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Tuesday 17th
People love your lively chat, Leo. You can talk about almost anything like it’s the cutting edge of conversation. Just avoid talking about money – or you could facing some heated discussion over how you’ve managed to torch the remainder of your credit rating. Best excuse? The silly season, of course!
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Sunday 15th
You’ve been craving some time out – to leave work out of sight, and mind. Finally, the cosmos grants you permission to do just that. Even if it’s just for this final few weeks of 2019, see to your own wish list. So go ahead, Virgo – pamper, and enjoy ongoing festivities. One warning: prepare for a cash meltdown.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Thursday 19th
This is more like it, Libra. A week to indulge in the pleasures of life. You’re in the mood for decadence and delight – or just being in the company of those you love. An image update boosts confidence. Don’t be surprised if you receive romantic invitations. Let the year’s stresses fade away.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Wednesday 18th
Scorpios are aching to cut loose from work. Any sense of discipline disappears under a pile of gift-wrapped presents. But you should also steal some quiet time for yourself. Sexually, the cosmos sends adoring thoughts around your love sector. Watch your expectations though, as this isn’t a rock-solid phase. But what better time for a fling?
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Saturday 14th
We all weave our own tangled webs. This month, it’s your turn to unpick some of those messy threads. Should an old flame suddenly reignite, keep a bucket of cold water handy or it may blaze out of control. The urge to overspend could also override common sense. Perhaps we can blame all this on the silly season?
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Wednesday 18th
You’ve reached an important turning point in your life, and change is inevitable. That’s fine, you can cut your losses in the new year. This final week brings a change of mood, and much excitement. And what better time of year to cut the purse strings? Let loose with the cash, credit and common sense.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Thursday 19th
Time spent with your family and friends should be fun, so long as parents or other close relatives don’t try to pull rank. Don’t take the bait. They’re just being family, and they’re probably not going to change in a hurry. Money’s easier to come by, though. Just as well, as there’s always plenty to pay for at this festive time of year.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Friday 13th
This year has been a long, hard slog. When under such pressure, we often make mistakes. So if you feel you’ve misplaced that certain magic, there could be something special waiting for you under the Christmas tree. The only hiccup is the financial aftermath of the season’s extravagances. Not to worry. Let the new year pick up the bill.
