If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
Fate is fickle, my friend. She can give with one hand and then take just that much more with the other. But here’s a year when Lady Luck lays down some new ground rules. There’s still hard work ahead but for good rewards. If wondering where to focus your attentions, love seems the obvious answer. Socially, you’re vivacious. You’re also finally blessed with finances and fun. Don’t question where the extra cash comes from. It’s how you spend it that counts. Retraining would also be of benefit. Expand your skills, and you could even be courting fame – or at the very least, a skyrocketing lifestyle.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Saturday 16th
This week tests your sense of stability. Financial uncertainty features, so avoid get-rich-quick schemes. The same goes for former lovers who might stray back within reach. It would be wise to remember why you broke up in the first place. If you’re trying to lose weight, boredom is your worst enemy – so avoid snack attacks by keeping on the go.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Sunday 17th
If I say there’s change on the way, promise not to run? While things may be flowing a tad too swiftly for your liking, you’ll soon get the hang of it. Perhaps you’re being asked to retrain, or take an unexpected detour? Whatever happens, know that the heavens are steering you in the right direction. Follow your dreams, Taurus. The time is right.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Wednesday 20th
Like it or not, sometimes the best things happen when they’re least expected. Sure, there may be issues to deal with, but you’re likely to find that each one is relatively minor. Be patient, too, in matters of the heart; there’s no hurry for a decision. A change of living arrangements could also either frustrate, or delight you.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Friday 15th
Recently, work has seemed like a war zone and you’re tired of petty politics. What’s more, you’re angry. This week, however, encourages restraint. That doesn’t mean allowing others to take you for granted – just don’t let them to hijack your hard work by losing your temper. Stay calm, and you’ll be the one reaping the rewards.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Thursday 21st
Time for some lateral thought, Leo. Instead of hurriedly grappling for difficult or, perhaps, unattainable aims – stop rushing and take the time to look at things from a different viewpoint. There’s still much to learn, and living by a new set of rules or being open to new experiences could be just what you need.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Friday 15th
There’s tension in the air, which you can’t help but sense. While your level head usually keeps you out of trouble, less sensible minds seem determined to stay on a collision course. Don’t buy into trouble just because others are deliberately egging you on. You’re stronger than that. And others know it.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Monday 18th
Some of that old magic’s back, Libra. If dreams can come true, they’ll do so now. And don’t expect it to be a solo journey. You’re ready and able to contact every friend you’ve ever made on this beautiful planet. This is what happens when you’re left unsupervised – pleasure takes priority. Simply, enjoy.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Tuesday 19th
This week has an important feel about it, where most Scorpios get to move in a new direction. Others may want to intrude on your plans, but if a situation is no longer working for you – don’t ignore this chance to discard overly-heavy burdens. By lightening the load, life becomes easier. Love wins a generous time slot too.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Sunday 17th
Sweep the more boring issues of life to the side for the time being. You’re overcome by a spirit of adventure. But if you’re considering romantic escapades, you could be a tad disappointed. Your best ventures this week come via travel or study. So spread your wings, and fly off in a new direction.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Friday 15th
Capricorns work hard, but maybe it’s time to pass the baton to someone else for a while. This is a week for catching up on things that aren’t all that important and for paying attention to more pleasurable desires. Basically, a slow moving Mercury suggests a touch of hedonism, if that’s what it takes to balance you out.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Thursday 21st
It is said that in life, timing is everything. Just the right words at the right time can heal, open doors – even open hearts. Being in the right place, at the right time is often how we are blessed with incredible opportunities in our lives. And when time is on our side, we can be powerful. So, go ahead Aquarius – be powerful.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Saturday 16th
Traditional interpretations say that yours is the sign of the mystic. Pisceans absorb energies that less intuitive signs miss, though this can make you particularly 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 chances to play.
