If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
Experience teaches that it’s good old-fashioned practicality that usually gets the best results. The trouble is that you’re bored with the tried and tested, and feel drawn towards more thrill and adventure. So if unexpected offers some sailing in, this year you’re likely to hop on board. Fortunately, instinct will help you avoid any obstacles as you develop a feel for the right direction. Your emotional strength and determination make a powerful package, with any new study or retraining giving you the substance to follow through. Expect major changes as a result, an increase in cash flow included.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Sunday 8th
Should the early week bring agitation or frustration, particularly at work – maintain your ability to stay detached. Higher-ups are watching how the situation unfolds. Rise above petty conflicts, and you’ll soon rise over colleagues. By week’s end, calm returns – along with a soaring sense of self-worth. Perhaps an increase in cash flow, too.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Monday 9th
Excitement’s in the air, and you sense it. The time’s right to turn dreams into reality. Start a new business – find a new job. Let loved ones spoil you. What’s to lose? Nothing. But there’s plenty to suggest fun and a fistful of dollars. Finances look particularly promising, with a possible merger of love and business interests.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Friday 6th
You finally reap the rewards for having lived a little more frugally. This week, finances should free up to allow some small indulgences, and a quick break isn’t out of the question. What’s more, everyone’s aware of how truly wonderful you can be. If looking for love, you may be taken by surprise while gazing in another direction.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Saturday 7th
The week promises love, when warm and uncomplicated company goes a long way towards creating happy memories. Don’t worry yourself too much over minor problems. In time, most issues resolve themselves. Self discipline may be low, but that’s not so bad. You work hard for those you love – so take time out to simply have fun.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Tuesday 10th
Why is it that you always seem to want the opposite of what’s offered? When thrown into the limelight, you want quiet. When left alone, you want to be included. Either way, you take to authority like a pit bull – so heaven help those who push their case beyond reason. There’s too much to be done in too little time. Yet, there’s still room for romance.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Wednesday 11th
If feeling insecure, don’t. You judge yourself way too harshly, Virgo. You really can be your own worst critic, most of the time not even realising just how loved and needed you are. It’s time to reconnect with like-minded souls and set some new plans in motion. A little self confidence can go a long way. Life finally starts to move forward.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Thursday 12th
Librans tend to give most the benefit of the doubt. But that forgiving attitude may backfire when you discover that a friend isn’t as loyal as you thought regarding a shared secret. You’ll survive, but this is a lesson in setting firm boundaries. The good news: finances are sound. Spend up, while you can.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Friday 6th
The planets are misbehaving and as they flagrantly disrupt the cosmic flow, an unusual set of events is set in motion. Call it a happy accident, call it synchronicity – whatever the reason, this week you’re blessed with good fortune both at work and play. At the very least, you’ll realise when you’re on to a good thing.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Sunday 8th
You’re in for some unexpected friction in your closest relationships. Coupled Sagittarians find themselves making love and war, as your usual rock-solid partner or colleague may suddenly get under your skin. Singles will enjoy having friends around – even those who make demands. If extra cash comes your way, enjoy.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Wednesday 11th
It’s difficult to always please everyone, and sometimes you just can’t please anyone. Tension can make you feel tetchy, and right now you need to keep a cool head. If you’re feeling crowded, break away for a while – a supportive cosmos encourages a few days of solitude. By week’s end you should emerge revitalised, and knowing your own worth.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Tuesday 10th
This week finds you charging ahead, with little regard for formalities. So, are you making progress or just being reckless? That depends on the company you keep. Some will find your irrepressible drive a little hard-going. Others are impressed with your strength of will. Either way, preparations for your moment of glory are underway.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Saturday 7th
You can be so hard on yourself, Pisces – often giving out more love than you receive. Those who love you with “conditions” are easy enough to find. Take the next step – love those who think you remarkable. Wake up each day happy with who you are. It’s not all that hard. Give it a chance and see what happens. Love begins with yourself.
