If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
Recent times have felt unsettled, thanks to a moody Mars.  Misunderstandings and mistakes turned many a Libran bedroom into a battlefield. For others, it’s simply becoming a no-go zone. Your new birthday year brings far less tension; and far more fun. By December, Jupiter and sexy Venus promise singles some high-quality romance.  For those already coupled, intimacies result in fewer demands and rekindled passions.  At work, too, this is a landmark year.  Whether you’re hoping to meet new people or start a new job, the planets align in your favour.   

Aries (March 21 – April 20)

Best Day:  Monday 5th
It’s a week to read all the fine print, and carefully file away important documents so they aren’t lost.  Back up all crucial paperwork.  Daily routines may cause you to become somewhat stressed or agitated, resulting in sleepless nights.  Tempers could flare.  Avoid letting any over-aggression to turn into overkill.  It’s better to tame the beast within.  

Taurus (April 21 – May 20)

Best Day:  Friday 2nd
This week presents Taureans with a challenge, but the issues surrounding it may be a tad cloudy so that you don’t see the whole picture.  Don’t fret.  This delay will actually work in your favour.  In slowing down the decision making, impetuous mistakes will be avoided.  Moral of the story:  find out the facts before you act.  

Gemini (May 21 – June 21)

Best Day:   Sunday 4th
Short term projects catch your interest. You’re focused, but with only limited patience – which could lead to some frustrating moments.  Don’t be in such a rush, Gemini.  Give dreams enough busy hours to become a reality.  In matters of the heart, singles could literally bump into someone from the past.  Couples reignite the spark.

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

Best Day:  Monday 5th
With fiery Mars in your tenth house of ambition, work may bring unexpected surprises.  Perhaps you’re forced to step up the ladder of command, which could elevate you beyond your comfort zone. Or you could find yourself at odds with a boss or colleague.  Nonetheless, Sometimes, a little extra pressure or competition can be a good thing.

Leo (July 23 – August 23)

Best Day:  Saturday 3rd
Have you noticed how some individuals can be likened to a black hole? They’ll happily draw you into their mass of personal chaos, with zero concern over the possible effects on you.  So stay well clear of their presence.  There are friendlier places to be.  The Sun also lends an uncanny financial instinct.  Earning power soon soars.  

Virgo (August 24 – September 22)

Best Day:  Tuesday 6th
It’s a week for working behind the scenes, Virgo.  You set your schedule by the creativity of your soul.  Inspiration is your manna, perspiration is your pay off.  Don’t expect to reach your goals this week, but do expect to set the scene for amazing future success.  Most people don’t know that you’re one of the most artistic signs.  They will soon enough.  

Libra (September 23 – October 23)

Best Day:  Tuesday 6th
Now’s the time to sit back and put your feet up for a while as you start to reap the benefits of what you have sown.  The road that you took to get here certainly had its ups and downs – all the more reason to take a well-earned break.  What’s yours is yours, and no one is going to take that away from you.  You can spend up, too.  

Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)

Best Day:  Friday 2nd
Those with the Sun in Scorpio are special, mostly because very few people understand you.  Yours is the sign which commands the most awe and respect.  Quietly mysterious, others should never underestimate your silent strength – particularly this week.  You know what’s going on, and mean to do something about it.  

Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)

Best Day:  Wednesday 7th
It’s a Sagittarius kind of week.  Jupiter is on the move, and so are you.  Don’t worry too much about formalities – it’s your spirit that others will notice.  Should you find yourself up against equally determined minds, stop and listen.  You could actually learn from others opinions.  But it’s not all work.  Social invitations no longer need polite avoidance.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 20) 

Best Day:  Friday 2nd
Here’s a week of opportunity.  Determination continues to push you forward, so throw all  your might into a potentially lucrative project.  It’s also a time of Capricorn single-mindedness. Should someone try to block or derail you, anger will follow and heated words exchanged.   Whatever happens, it’s a week to be seen and heard.  

Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)

Best Day:  Saturday 3rd
Be careful not to confuse fantasy with reality this week.  Despite your reputation for being detached, there are many secrets hidden beneath that cool exterior.  This makes you a bit of a mystery, really.  And perhaps you prefer it that way.  After all, there’s no point in showing your entire hand, when one card at a time will do.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Best Day:  Thursday 8th
This week, socially – you’re a natural; professionally too.  The old cliche about catching more flies with honey than with vinegar springs to mind.  It’s also a great time to update your image.  If any caution is needed, it will involve finances.  Thanks to spend-happy cosmos, you suddenly want everything you see – including new playmates.
