If you celebrate your birthday this week, you share with:
Your Year Ahead
Whether your past year brought tears or triumph, for many it’s been exhausting. Health issues have demanded much attention, leaving your vulnerable side exposed. Flustered by panic or confusion, you thought your only solution was retreat. But in the next few months, a good portion of your self confidence will be restored, bringing in a new energy – both at work and at home. It’s going to be a period of change. The actions you take – even those you may consider setbacks, should produce results that prove increasingly successful as this year progresses.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Saturday 28th
You might want to put some space between yourself and a barrage of conflicting opinions. Be smarter in your decision making, especially when it comes to business or purchases. To maintain a happy environment at work and home, remain receptive to alternative viewpoints: honest discussion beats hostility any time.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Sunday 29th
If trouble flares, act with diplomacy. The trick lies in distancing yourself from this week’s emotional inferno, rather than getting caught up in it. As soon as Taureans buy into any over-hyped drama, you lose your earthy pragmatism. Without it, you could make some ill-considered decisions. Don’t overreact.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Tuesday 31st
You may be feeling restless, but don’t force things to happen. It’s often easier to simply go with the flow. Should obstacles appear, see them in the same light as opportunities. Life is a constant dance, Gemini. So choose the rhythm that offers you greatest joy, and know that all paths lead to the same place – your greatest good.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Monday 30th
Once you believe in yourself, the sky’s the limit. Admittedly, arriving at this point isn’t always easy – you may have to compromise in order to maintain harmony. But on no account should you give in to others’ expectations if they’re contrary to your principles. Rest assured that the planets, as always, will be around to lend moral support.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Wednesday 1st
Just when you thought everything was going well, a new setback tests you. Don’t panic, Leo. You have the tenacity to get through this. You’ve worked too long and hard to even consider surrender. You’re prepared to take all necessary measures to claim triumph. And conquer, you will.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Friday 27th
Expect an all-or-nothing kind of week, with little middle ground. The highs can bring a surge of action – the lows, an overly confident or domineering attitude. If feeling energetic, immerse yourself in demanding activity. It’s also a good time for a lifestyle change. You’re ready to eliminate anything that’s been cramping your personal or proessional style.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Thursday 2nd
It’s time to put up your defences, avoid stress and schedule time out for doing the things you love. This isn’t the right week to plan major moves or take on extra responsibilities. Instead, lighten your load and postpone difficult decisions. A change of scenery or a quick holiday would help to ease an overwrought mind.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Sunday 29th
Change doesn’t come easily to Scorpios. This week, however, you’ll need to learn new ways of dealing with others. It won’t be easy to leave the past behind, but letting go is exactly what you should do. Stop worrying about the things that you may leave behind and instead focus on everything waiting in the future.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Saturday 28th
Sagittarians love their freedom. When the going gets really tough, there’s a tendency to abandon relationships – thinking you don’t need that person any more. But this week the planets stir up confusion, so think carefully before doing anything drastic. If you don’t, the heart you break now could turn out to be your own.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Tuesday 31st
If given a second chance at ventures that previously didn’t go so well, figure out who’s best at what, and drum up a solid sense of teamwork. Should love or money come your way, accept with gratitude. In the same spirit, give openly and rewards will return when you most need them. Best news: perhaps, a gentle stroll down memory lane.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Monday 30th
Aquarians are well known for voicing their views. Some admire this confidence, others find it annoying. Any opposition, however, just fuels your obstinacy – especially if you’re convinced that you’re right. This week, stay flexible and accommodate others’ needs as well as your own. Middle ground can be found.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Wednesday 1st
Your eyes are on the career prize this week. While you can occasionally be a tad scattered, now’s the time to strategise long-term goals and prioritise your routines. Pisceans are usually okay with not being a triple-threat sensation overnight. A surprise offer could also tie in with the luck you’re already enjoying.
