If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
You’re hard-loving this year Scorpio, no question. If provoked, you’ll take no prisoners, and lovers soon learn to avoid your wrath. Expect a dynamite summer, which promises more than the occasional flirtation. Late February slows down romance. By March, career ambitions accelerate, and work projects finally get the attention they deserve. After April, the cosmos brings unique ways to increase investment and income. Still it’s said that, more often than not, luck is opportunity meeting initiative. Just bear in mind that despite your own honesty, others could have hidden agendas.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Sunday 14th
Much can be achieved this week, Aries – 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 offer extra cash.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Monday 15th
Just when you need help, along comes a planetary ally or two. Not a moment too soon. Once you realise that not everyone’s out to get you, it’s onwards and upwards. There are, however, some conditions. Bury the past and start concentrating on life as you’d like it. Except perhaps, financially. For now, throw hard-earned cash into a locked vault.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Friday 12th
Your moods have wavered for some time now, but should resentment pay the Gemini 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.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Sunday 14th
If you’ve suffered minor setbacks, don’t fret. Pursue what’s working and leave the rest behind. This week encourages a change of image – not because you’re looking jaded, but because you’re ready to tackle this crazy world on new terms. Your own. And if you can squeeze in enough time for a spend-up, all the better.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Wednesday 17th
This week encourages you to give ambitions a nudge. But you first must discard any debilitating doubts. Over time, it can become very easy to fall into a safe and familiar rut. This could be fuelled by fear of failure, or simple lethargy. Neither suit your usual fiery nature. So while the cosmic coast is clear, make changes.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Monday 15th
Not all negotiations proceed smoothly this week – particularly if you’re pushed into overload. If challenged, try not to exaggerate the situation or facts, as the naked truth has a way of stripping down lies. You’re not being targeted, Virgo. Troubles can happen to anyone, and invariably do. Step cautiously.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Tuesday 16th
Finances and work share the same upward trend this week. Sometimes, though, it can be easy to waste opportunities, simply because over-optimism can lead to taking things for granted. Plant the seeds of success now, so that they may grow taller and stronger in the months to come. Plenty of support comes from friends and family.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Wednesday 17th
If you’ve been putting off a tough conversation, you might be forced to do just that. Of course you’d prefer to skirt around the facts – but this week you can’t escape reality. It’s a sobering time, but also a chance to own up to your own culpability. Just don’t try to compensate with your overly-caustic wit, as your words might seem dark in tone.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Saturday 13th
There’s much to be said for routine, but more recently, the same thing day-in day-out has merged into a blur of blandness. So this week’s hint of romance or a spark of inspiration and creativity arrive just in time. Throw yourself wholeheartedly into these new options on offer – it could truly be a lifeline.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Friday 12th
Looks like you’re not as pliable as some would like. Capricorns are too astute to be duped, but this won’t stop lesser mortals from trying. You’ve half a mind to call their bluff, but the best thing to do is go about your business, and ask others to do the same. Look after your own interests for a while.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Thursday 18th
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.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Saturday 13th
Seems that you’re sensitive to the slightest hint of criticism this week, Pisces. Please don’t overreact to casual comments. No one is out to deliberately hurt you. And if you are feeling more vulnerable – let others know. At work, too, impatience could lead you astray. Don’t scatter energies, or you could end up exhausted.
