If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
Having survived so many changes in recent months, you’re ready to call a time-out. Unfortunately, the planets say otherwise. Despite feeling tired, you’re asked to stay focused. Fortunately, you’re now able to bring the more imaginative elements of your character into play and whether you like it or not – this year, you’re cast in the role of cosmic custodian. But it’s not all hard work. Through the winter months, your libido is allowed more latitude to play. Licentiously, so. What’s more, your social life looks nothing short of sensational. And if you learn to balance professional responsibilities with an active personal life, all the better.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Saturday 14th
This week long-term plans attract interest. The cosmos offers financial opportunities, but asks for patience. Delayed gratification isn’t your style but persistence will pay high dividends. In matters of the heart, singles attract someone special. For couples, there could pressure to fall in line with a partner. If so, maintain independence and equality.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Sunday 15th
Your moods have wavered for some time now, but should resentment pay the Taurean spirit a brief visit this week, it’s best given the cold shoulder. You’re probably tapping into old hurts that run well back into younger years. It’s time to let bygones be bygones. Yesterday is history, and tomorrow’s a mystery – so concentrate on the here and now.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Monday 16th
You’re on your moral high horse in a week when standing up for your principles could mean a solitary ride into the sunset. You can’t always expect others to please you. Equal opportunity means just that. If tripped up by the past, or a troublesome friend – look to compromise as a solution. A little bit of give and take can work wonders.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Thursday 19th
The world’s getting smaller, but it can still seem like a big, lonely place when you start to question how much you really have in common with those around you. Major planets are in the same boat right now, feeling very distant. Perhaps it’s time to find new solutions to old problems – there’s little point sticking to the tried and true if it’s not working.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Saturday 14th
Work keeps you busy though there may be temptations on offer. You could be presented with a get-rich-quick scheme that seems too good to be true. You’re right – it is. If stepping into a new relationship, set up a no-touch zone until you’re sure your prospective lover isn’t already committed. Life’s messy enough as it is.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Wednesday 18th
Change is coming – so sharpen your intellect, and prepare. By week’s end your ability to think differently allows you to develop brilliant new concepts. More to the point, you’re no longer prepared to be taken for granted and won’t hesitate in letting others know this. For singles, a new love affair promises to be more than just a casual fling.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Tuesday 17th
Librans are known for their wistful ways. It’s fine to have the occasional daydream – but don’t let fantasy replace reality. A hard ask, I know. But in order not to be exploited, you really must be able to deal with the cold, hard facts of life – and there may be a few to contend with this week. Know who your true allies are.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Friday 13th
Over time, you’ve learned that tolerance works well for you. But there are some situations that can still test your patience. What you should look out for this week are conflicts of ego. Clever Scorpios will recognise there are no real winners in warfare. If love is on your mind, you should find the latter part of the week more amenable.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Wednesday 18th
Much can be achieved this week, but you must avoid burnout. Push your energies if you really need to – but not to the point where you’re teetering on the edge. Similarly, don’t let competitors force you beyond your limits. Remember, you call the shots – not them. Upside: the week could also offer extra cash.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Friday 13th
Everyone has their own unique perspective about how things happened. Before you leap to conclusions – untangle any confusion first, or you’ll never know the real facts. Important personal decisions made this week mark a fresh start. What (or who) you choose to embrace will influence your life for years to come.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Tuesday 17th
Aquarians are famous for their fiercely stubborn streak. And as compromise doesn’t seem your top priority at the moment, expect some heated discussions. You’ve had a taste of freedom and want more. Though the planets counsel a degree of care, you want to throw caution to the wind. Just as well your cash supply looks plentiful – even if it is borrowed.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Monday 16th
You should get your head out of the clouds Pisces and take a long, hard look at where your life is really headed. Only then will you be aware of what is, and what isn’t possible. To make matters worse, it could feel as if the laws of resistance have been applied to any plan you try to put in motion. Slow down, and keep life simple.
