If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
Expect this next year to be busy. Fortunately, you have the right qualities to meet any challenges. Even so, you’ll need to run at maximum efficiency, so allow the occasional time-out to refresh mind, body and soul, especially in these next few demanding months. Settle debts, see to unfinished projects and send out clear signals that no one has the right to control your thoughts or actions. Your wallet should notice a little weight gain after October – until you decide to spend up. Try a sensible budget instead – there are many bills still to be paid. You’re allowed the odd luxury, but only if it’s truly affordable.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Monday 18th
Don’t let it get to you, Aries. If this week runs more like a comedy of errors, try to laugh with every turn. During these confusing times things will just run amuck, so whatever you’ve had planned may not happen. This needn’t be a disaster, even if it is unscheduled. If still pushed for direction, be inspired by your amazing creativity.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Sunday 17th
Those close to you are feeling confused by your seemingly distant manner. The real problem is that you’re feeling a little lost and vulnerable. You’re suppressing emotions instead of airing them. Give those worries and fears a voice. It’s time to trust others. A cliche, perhaps – but a problem shared is a problem halved.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Tuesday 19th
It’s one of those weeks, Gemini. You’re stressed, and really can’t cope with much more. But one of the remarkable things about you is your amazing ingeunity. Sure, there may be a roadblock or two, but your innate GPS should instinctively steer you towards unmapped detours. Laughter, too, will help dissipate any excessive stress.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Thursday 21st
Cancer compassion is called upon this week. You may encounter some resistance, because others are feeling embarrassed by their current situation. Thanfully, you help lift their hopes as you remind them that life’s to be enjoyed – no matter the circumstances. No surprise, too, if loved ones benefit from your financial generosity.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Wednesday 20th
Even though those rose coloured glasses are practically sutured on, let reality have a look-in as well. You’re not misguided in your outlook, Leo – just a tad too idealistic. But no one’s asking you to curb all that lovely optimism – only your expenditure. Mars puts its heavy hand on your shoulder to ensure a slow down on the spending.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Friday 15th
You’ve half a mind to make a run for it, but this obviously isn’t the time to do it as most Virgos are restricted to their home surrounds. It’s a confusing week all round, so the best advice is to go about your business and ask others to do the same. Singles can perhaps try online dating as a way to ease restlessness.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Monday 18th
This week calls for compromise. Major pitfalls to watch out for are restlessness and family conflict. Also take care with finances. Leave nothing to chance and if necessary, seek trusted advice. If all this sounds stressful, it doesn’t have to be. You can’t control others peoples’s grumpier moments, but you can control your own.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Thursday 21st
You’re a very private person, Scorpio – even more so this week. You’re in no mood to share thoughts or feelings with anybody. But sometimes our privacy is invaded, whether we like it or not. Question is, how are you going to handle this intrusion? For starters, keep your temper under control. If you need time alone, simply say so.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Sunday 17th
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 word play. That’s refreshing, and appreciated when we’re all in such close quarters.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Wednesday 20th
While all is not lost, something might be. Your mind is drawn in many directions and as you become less focused, it can be difficult to keep an eye on everything – especially finances. It’s been said that many hands make light work, but some of them can be attached to demanding individuals. If someone’s complicating a situation – go solo.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Friday 15th
At last, you’re ready to start acting on that list of creative ideas. Soon, you’ll experience extra clarity that will benefit that long-standing labour of love you’ve been toiling away on. Bringing your dreams to life will keep you too busy for romance, but be on the look-out for an unexpected financial possibility – very welcome in these unsettled times.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Sunday 17th
It’s high time that others realised you’re an individual, not their personal slave. Your devotion to duty is inspiring, but the planets warn that no amount of success can replace strong health once it’s been lost. Some kind of financial dispute or personal wrangle places additional strain on an already overwrought nervous system.
