If you celebrate your birthday this week:

Your Year Ahead

The next few months test your financial prowess, after which the cosmos becomes much more charitable.   Whether you’re setting up a new partnership or dissolving one, don’t be discouraged by minor setbacks.  You’re strong enough to dust yourself down and go on the offensive any time you want.  Taureans are now at the start of both a provocative and productive year, where challenges will bring out your best.  And don’t be shy in mixing business with pleasure.  Carnal possibilities exist in more regions that we care to acknowledge – so why deny yourself by imposing “no go” zones.  Love knows no bounds.  

Aries (March 21 – April 20)

Best Day:  Monday 17th

This week, keep an ear to the ground and your lips sealed.  There’s some gossip happening, and it could be about you – so don’t be in a hurry to disclose your thoughts or secrets.  Let others reveal their intentions first.  Keep yourself at a safe distance from troublemakers and don’t expect others to live up to their promises.  

Taurus (April 21 – May 20)

Best Day:  Friday 14th

With the cosmos offering Taureans a triad of wealth, pleasure and opportunity, you’d be forgiven for believing in miracles.  Here’s your chance to make a dream come true.  Truly, it’s a wonderful week for progress, with even the smallest effort on your part producing great results.  You’re at your financial, creative and sexual best.  

Gemini (May 21 – June 21)

Best Day:  Tuesday 18th

If you’ve been tiptoeing around any kind of resolution or dodging an important conversation, this could all come to a head this week. Hidden tensions may surface, especially if you’ve been making too many sacrifices for someone. You’re nobody’s doormat, Gemini – a fact that will soon becomes crystal clear.  

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

Best Day:  Sunday 16th

Flat batteries, sagging spirit – you’ve very little left to give, my exhausted friend.  But don’t thrash yourself over recent troubles and past mistakes.  Instead, book a massage and let someone else pummel away the aches and pains.  And once you’ve crawled your way to the sauna, you can reflect on the why’s and wherefore’s of life.  

Leo (July 23 – August 23)

Best Day:  Friday 14th

This week could start with surprising changes personally or professionally as hidden forces fling you in directions you probably won’t want to go.  Exposed secrets or an intense emotional experience may also leave you reeling but soon you’ll come to realise that these changes will have actually improved your life.  

Virgo (August 24 – September 22)

Best Day:  Monday 17th

Most of your spending is ruled by practicality.  You aim for quality, rather than quantity.  Even so, you generally know your financial limits – where diminishing returns no longer justify further outlay.  Keep this sensible approach in mind, because this week’s feeling financially reckless.  Don’t spend what you don’t have. 

Libra (September 23 – October 23)

Best Day:  Sunday 16th

Mars rattles your already unsettled cage – triggering even more impulsive behaviour.  Just take care, as rebellious acts are more likely to increase tension rather than reduce it.  Of course, s often find it fun to defy authority – but, this week, at what cost?  Instead, try discharging all that nervous tension with full-on physical or creative activity.  

Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)

Best Day:  Tuesday 18th

People think differently from one another.  Allow for it.  Stop trying to force people to fit your life, or force yourself to fit in theirs – because it won’t work.  The more you impose your will on others, the greater the resistance.  The weeks ahead call for co-operation.  Sure, there’ll be some stress, but you need not cope alone.  Tactfully.  

Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)

Best Day:  Thursday 20th

The trouble with seeing the larger picture is that you often skip the finer details.  Thinking big is great, but some ideas need blood, sweat and tears to get off the ground.  Bear this in mind should one or two recent projects not prove viable.  Still, a celebration looks likely.  And should romance call, allocate extra time for play.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 20) 

Best Day:  Wednesday 19th

Don’t let the weight of decision making overwhelm you. It is the very thing that builds your character and allows you to overcome the difficulties in life.  Simply consider all the options and then let your intuition dictate the answer. Remember, this is a week consider all potential choices.  By next week, you can act on them.  

Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)

Best Day:  Friday 14th

What you love so much – work, career and family – have all been in a long process of transformation, and it’s been a struggle.  Cast off these worries, Aquarius – as all the heaviness starts to lift.  The planets offer fresh insights, and new solutions to old problems.  Your life is still up for restructure – but in the best possible way.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Best Day:  Thursday 20th

Traditional interpretations say that yours is the sign of the mystic.  Pisceans absorb energies that less intuitive signs miss, though this can make you vulnerable to stress.  Not this week.  For now, the cosmos keeps you constantly on the move, and trailblazing along that road to success.  Even so, you’re also granted a chance to play.
