If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
This year promises pleasure and prosperity. We immediately find Mercury organising your agenda, making life easier by encouraging changes of direction. And if you have doubts over which path to choose, Jupiter helps set you on the right track. There are bound to be moments of trepidation, but this year’s focus is on pushing your limits. You’ve been stuck in a rut for too long now. Cosmic help is on its way, along with extra cash. One warning: be careful who you trust. Be confident you can go it alone. When opportunity knocks, lay out a welcome mat.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Sunday 23rd
Spurred on by a fiery ambition, your desire for independence and success is even greater than usual. Stop talking about what you would like to do – instead, get busy, and do it. Money and status are easier to achieve if you take the lead, rather than follow. Prepare well, and be honest in all your dealings.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Monday 24th
Taureans focus on finances this week, giving you an opportunity to increase income. Start saving now and you’ll soon have plenty to spare for that proverbial rainy day. Jobs connected with finances or the media do particularly well. Ditto for those linked with health care. Romantically, many discover a hot new stamping ground.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Saturday 22nd
At last! You’re blessed with achievement and genuine joy. The universe sets its generous heart on rewarding you. You’ve been through some challenging times, for sure – but all that Gemini diligence finally starts to pay off. Take some time to reflect on the past few months, and then seize any new opportunity in front of you.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Sunday 23rd
Ambition seems to take priority this week, but it needs to correspond with careful planning. When trying to turn opportunities into reality, it’s crucial to manage both your time and energy. Perhaps you’re considering a career change, or you want to start a business of your own? Whatever the case, it’s time to raise your public profile.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Wednesday 26th
That famed Leo charm will get you everywhere this week. You’re out to inspire and impress. When you present such a positive attitude, people just naturally do more things for you and with you. Sounds so simple, really. Strange that more people don’t get it. Those looking for romance have every chance of finding love.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Friday 21st
You’ve been patient long enough, Virgo. Others have had all the time in the world to resolve their issues. Problem is, they continue to rely on your help – whether you like it or not. If possible, break away for a while and get on with your own affairs. At work, your intuition should save you from difficult circumstances.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Tuesday 25th
Librans tend to give most the benefit of the doubt. But that sometimes that all-too forgiving attitude may backfire when you discover that someone isn’t as loyal as you thought. You’ll survive, but this is a lesson in setting firm boundaries. The good news: a bit of extra cash comes within reach. If so, spend up while you can.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Monday 24th
Some times are better than others, and this week brings emotional warfare. You find yourself in conflict with others or, perhaps – just sweating the small stuff. If so, consider whether this situation is worth your energy. Conflict often result in no winners or losers; only exhausted people and wasted time. Choose to walk away.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Saturday 22nd
A little flirtation is all well and good, but only to a point. Someone could take your harmless remarks more seriously, expecting you to follow through. On the flip side, is someone stringing you along? Either way, if you’re not ready to go there – simply enjoy the attention and chemical reaction. What’s the rush, anyway?
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Wednesday 26th
Your head spins with the number of activities this week, as this is a fast-paced time. Team efforts also get a real boost, even if the collective decision-making process can be a tad stressful. Tempers may flare, but don’t forget that strident talk can sometimes be productive – so long as everyone gets a chance with the microphone.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Friday 21st
If you’ve felt overburdened with responsibilities, delightful Venus lifts your mood. Expect a busy social scene and an equally agile love life. With finances also improving, you finally get a chance to spend up. No surprises, then, if loved ones benefit from your generosity. Travel if you can – perhaps a cosy break-for-two?
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Thursday 27th
Switch off your phone, ignore your emails and power down the laptop. Disregarding this advice could place you smack-dab in the middle of other people’s dramas – those they should resolve themselves. Avoid playing crisis counsellor, or lending your precious time to other peoples’ problems. Save some energy for yourself.
