If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
This year, short-term plans attract more interest. Jupiter offers financial opportunities but asks for patience. Delayed gratification isn’t usually your preference but, in this instance, persistence will pay higher dividends. In matters of the heart, singles catch the attention of someone special. For couples, there could pressure to fall in line with a partner. If so, maintain a strong sense of independence and equality.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Saturday 10th
You loathe deception, so if you feel someone’s acting suspiciously – you can’t help but investigate. Just don’t pry needlessly, or you might end up creating unnecessary trouble. You can’t know everything and, believe it or not, some matters really aren’t your concern.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Tuesday 13th
It’s quite likely that you mean what you say, but what others hear is a different matter. This is a time where your best intentions may be misconstrued, which means even more detail may be required. Unfortunately, the more you say – the deeper the pit you dig. Be delicate in your communications.
Gemini (May 21 to June 21)
Best Day: Friday 9th
Geminis somehow manage to persuade a guardian angel to work overtime on their behalf. Actually, there’s a team of celestial guides working around the clock for you – along with the support of friends and family. Finally, here’s a week when there’s little to lose and much to gain.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Thursday 15th
No true Crab stays curls up in their shell for too long, so recent hurts should soon be healed. Health, wealth and career all get the planetary thumbs up, with many of your earlier plans finally hitting the bullseye. The week also encourages an overhaul of self-image – somewhat daunting, but also very exciting.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Tuesday 13th
Take the initiative when it comes to love. A burning attraction is setting off real-life sparks, Leo – so why let them go to waste? Make a move and enjoy the fireworks. If romance isn’t what’s fuelling current desires – make the most of what is, especially in creative or artistic matters.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Saturday 10th
This week brings a double-edged sword. On one hand, you have Mars urging you to take professional risks, while Neptune creates confusion. This may take the form of a scandal, so take care with business associations. Either way, operating on your own terms is important.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Sunday 11th
Someone isn’t being entirely straight with you at the moment. What’s questionable is whether they’re being deliberately misleading, or they simply don’t realise they’re sending mixed messages. Just hold off signing anything, until you have all the facts. Stay cautious.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Wednesday 14th
Should early week finalise a chapter in your life, follow up with positive action. Outdated love or friendships may end – giving you the freedom to rediscover a new dating scene. Don’t worry if you’re out of practice. Great things happen when you least expect them.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Thursday 15th
Definitely a Sagittarian kind of week. The planets power into top gear and take you along for the ride. You’re encouraged to work on intuition, with few questions asked. How wonderful to be able to act on ideas, without your usual procrastination. Love also features.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Wednesday 14th
You often keep others guessing, assuming that if someone cares enough – they’ll either know your mind or ask the right questions. This week is different – you volunteer information, minus the sugarcoating and clever wordplay. That’s refreshing and appreciated.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Sunday 11th
It’s mostly an untroubled week. As usual, you captivate friends and colleagues with your dry humour and sense of fun. Midweek, life turns a tad more serious, especially if you’re offered the chance of a new job or training course. All this, and more cash too. Look forward to new ventures.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Monday 12th
The problem with being different is that not everyone understands you, and most people generally prefer what they know. This means some Pisceans may feel on the outer for the moment, but trust your instincts anyway. You’re just ahead of the times. Push on patiently.
