If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
If you were hoping for a gentler year ahead, you may be disappointed. Still, you will be needed and despite your quiet protests, this is just the way you like it. When you’re in demand, you know you’re appreciated. Plus, you’re clocking up some serious karmic brownie points – so keep a good tally. An inclination for taking risks may surface after February. Pay attention to detail, including listening to good advice. Hold on to your heartstrings after April, as you fall for someone you wouldn’t usually consider eligible. If you started the year single, you could be very much in love by the end of it.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Sunday 1st
The urge to merge intensifies, as sultry Mars shimmies into your seductive eighth house. Simmering chemistry comes to boiling point, and you can see your partner for better or worse – a raw intensity you sometimes enjoy. If a partner is a little jealous, you might actually like it – seeing it as evidence of love and devotion. Passions soar.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Friday 29th
This week you have more time to help others. But don’t let anyone convince you that it’s simply a case of parting with cash. Your wisdom will provide better guidance than just signing a cheque. At work, the more you do – the more you get to do. For some, an unexpected inheritance or cash bonus helps to clear old debts.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Thursday 5th
Timing is the word of the week. Trouble is, you’re feeling impatient. But there’s an important deal brewing and the cosmos is pretty sure you have a personal invitation to the whole shebang. Just wait until you’re sure the moment’s right. Check, double check, then check again. Don’t start acting like the rest of the airheads on this planet.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Saturday 30th
If you’ve been tiptoeing around any kind of resolution or dodging an important conversation, this tenuous situation could 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, Cancer – a fact that will soon becomes crystal clear.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Monday 2nd
This week keeps you on your toes. Stay calm and in control, and there’s precious little you can’t manage. The question is: do you really want to? Love plays its dizzy game and you may be happy to surrender to Cupid’s coaxing. Problem is: just when you’re ready to be swept off your feet, perhaps – said feet should stay firmly planted on the ground?
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Wednesday 4th
Virgos can now either dive wholeheartedly into life’s pleasures, or create something special at work. From what the planets promise, there should be ample rewards for your efforts. So if you want to make some changes, now’s the time to do just that. Travel may also be thrown in, or at least the chance to mingle work with play.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Thursday 5th
You’ve been patient long enough, Libra. 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.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Tuesday 3rd
You’re ambushed and forced in directions you don’t want to go. Yet through all this, you’ll end up the winner. The Sun, for one, heralds victory. Truth is, you’re not really one to stand still for long. Romantically, there’s plenty to hope for. Even some platonic relationships are in for a surprise shift of status, and nicely so.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Monday 2nd
Watch out, because the boundaries could be blurred this week as Mars stirs up your twelfth house of illusion and hidden agendas. Your sexual mojo could be muted. The twelfth house also rules the past, so stressful Mars here may also bring up painful memories or resentment. If single, you could find yourself tempted by illicit love.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Saturday 30th
The week brings a better understanding of life’s quirkier rules, and you start to play the game more skilfully. Just don’t assume you know it all. After all, life is a constant journey – so stay open to new experiences and learning. You also get another chance to achieve goals which seemed elusive in the past.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Tuesday 3rd
People love predictability, so no-one is going to be very happy if you’re constantly changing your mind. It’ll be harder still if you start talking about plans or proposals that very few can understand. Nor should you ignore the opinions of those closest to you. Their ideas may not be that different from your own.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Sunday 1st
Life has seemed a battle recently, with any gains being hard won. The trouble is, you’re a natural for taking on too much and others will happily load you up when you let them. As you step into the week early indications may not suggest any different, but a change is on its way. Work and business shoot skywards. As does your love life.
