If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
You’ve come a long way, Scorpio. Take time to reflect on past actions, acknowledge your progress and realise that the best is yet to come. You’re offered a fabulous year, surrounded by love, friendship and prosperity. At work, the more you do – the more you get to do. There’s also the notion of karma. Whatever way you look at it, over the next year the cosmos rewards you for your efforts. You’ll be super busy, but that’s just fine because in your mind – challenge is something to be conquered, not feared. For some, an unexpected boost in income helps clear old debts.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Monday 11th
Sometimes we have to live through situations that we don’t understand, but if we wait long enough, a reason for that experience usually reveals itself. This is especially important to remember at times when we feel unsure of what to do. Life is full of buried treasures, Aries. Chances are, you’re sitting on some hidden gems this week.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Wednesday 13th
Endless conflict has chipped away at the Taurean spirit. You could save yourself more problems by taking a few days break, preferably in happier company. The other trick is to become invisible. Right now, a good portion of humanity is feeling tetchy, with some intangible elements brewing up a tiff. Tread softly.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Sunday 10th
If on the attack, Geminis fire first and ask questions later. Sometimes, however, you can be just a tad too quick off the mark. This week check all facts before marching into battle – as someone could be planning an ambush. Unstable relationships may fall; new romance looks set to flourish – great news if you’re back on the singles scene.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Tuesday 12th
They say everything passes, but better times can’t happen soon enough. You could do with some light relief. In the meantime, if others are still out to undermine you, the planets provide cosmic carte blanche to regain control. This time, you get the upper hand. Life becomes all about independence, and reclaiming your own strength.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Saturday 9th
Leos are the most vibrant and energetic of the zodiac signs. Ruled by the Sun, you radiate a warm, outgoing nature and never do anything by halves. You’re a born leader; an initiator – someone who loves to act, to do, to bring about change. But this week too much relentless ambition could be your downfall – so slide into the shadows for a while.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Thursday 14th
Your love of luxuries can occasionally run over-budget and right now you’re probably picking up the tab for either your own – or someone else’s, enthusiasm. And there’s nothing like financial problems to test a relationship. At work, should unexpected changes lead to new territory, don’t fret. Just don’t try to beat the system by taking short cuts.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Friday 8th
No one has a completely drama free existence – we all make mistakes. Consider, though, that errors of judgement are simply learning tools towards self awareness, wisdom and compassion. So don’t be swamped by remorse or disappointment. Discard what’s no longer needed in your life. Forgive others, and yourself.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Sunday 10th
It’s a confident week, when you act on your own initiative without seeking approval elsewhere. Work regains priority. The planets also boost intellectual vigour and even if it does manifest in the form of an occasional challenge – it’s no drama. You enjoy giving the old neurones a bit of a run. When presented with different options, act quickly.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Wednesday 13th
This week’s focus is on teamwork, and by co-operating with others – you should achieve much more than usual. Do your best to resolve long standing problems, but avoid putting others on a pedestal; remember, the higher they are – the further they have to fall. A potential lover becomes a best friend instead.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Friday 8th
Some describe you as a perfectionist, with negative implications saying that you’re too concerned with the trivial details of life. This isn’t true. You prefer to call it “discrimination” – in your mind, you need to be picky because not everything deserves your attention. So go ahead, trash whatever’s not working for you. After all, it’s your call.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Saturday 9th
This week finds many Aquarians retreating into privacy. A secret love affair may begin, or perhaps entanglements from the past influence the present. You may feel nervous, wondering whether you’ve done the right thing in a tricky situation. What you really need is peace and quiet, so use whatever excuse you need to turn down intrusive invitations.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Monday 11th
The basis for success is independence, and you’re now ready and capable of going it alone. The ability to “tune in” into almost any situation has always been your special gift but even more so now, as you interact in a way that impresses others. As a direct result – doors previously closed will open, revealing sensational new opportunities.
