Your Year Ahead

Here it is Virgo – the breakthrough month, and year – you’ve been waiting for.  Mars, the planet of ambition and achievement has sidled into your creative sector and will stay put for a while.  This unrestrained planet cheers you on – not only financially, but artistically, professionally and romantically too.  Mars expands whatever it touches – so not only are routine bills and expenses more easily met, but even some luxuries are affordable.  The biggest threat?  Extravagance.  A new image, improved social life and increasing health awareness add to the year’s delights.

Aries (March 21 – April 20)

Best Day: Monday 27th

You can now either dive wholeheartedly into life’s pleasures, or create something special at work.  And from what the planets promise, there should be ample reward 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.

Taurus (April 21 – May 20)

Best Day:  Friday 24th

Home and personal concerns monopolise your time this week.  Life’s been turbulent, so a sense of belonging becomes more important.  For singles, the lure to coupledom may be hard to resist, while established duos rekindle commitment.  If a project needs bankrolling, look to relatives. Also consider real estate deals or DIY improvements.  

Gemini (May 21 – June 21)

Best Day:  Saturday 25th

The urge to merge intensifies, as sultry Mars shimmies into your seductive eighth house. Simmering chemistry explodes, and you can see your partner for better or worse…a raw intensity you sometimes enjoy.  If your partner gets a little jealous, you might actually like it – seeing it as evidence of love and devotion.  Passions soar. 

 

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

Best Day:  Sunday 26th  

If you’ve been craving travel, study or to sit quietly with a guru – this is your ‘Eat. Pray. Love.’ week.  So, absolutely no excuses.  Broadcasting, writing, publishing, advertising, or spiritual activities may offer life-altering opportunities.  End result: a dazzling new you, albeit a gradual transformation.  Soon, you’ll barely recognise the person you were.

 

Leo (July 23 – August 23)

Best Day:  Tuesday 28th

Life feels easier as the planets tip the focus more towards fun. You’ll be busy at home, with an equally agile love life. While professional commitments still require your attention, social engagements no longer seem impossible to attend.  Earnings increase, but so does expenditure.  Go ahead, indulge yourself.  

 

Virgo (August 24 – September 22)

Best Day:  Monday 27th

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.

 

Libra (September 23 – October 23)

Best Day:  Thursday 30th

This isn’t a time for quiet contemplation.  Instead, push for the things you want.  You’re riding in the slipstream of benevolent planetary forces and hopefully you’ll use this week for what it is – a ticket to success.  Expect some extra cash too.  In relationships, make all your daring moves by week’s end.  After that, the magic could wane.  

 

Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)

Best Day:  Wednesday 29th

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?

 

Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)

Best Day:  Friday 24th

This week nudges Sagittarian ambitions. But you first must discard any debilitating doubt. 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 and adventurous nature. So while the cosmic coast is clear, make changes.

 

Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)

Best Day: Thursday 30th

A lagging cosmos has doused your enthusiasm for some time now, and you’ve felt held back. So consider it perfect timing when this week offers to unleash restrained ambitions and talents. Financially, your bank balance looks to be replenished.  Watch, too, for an opportunity to make the most of work contacts.  The best news?  Romantic hopes soar.

 

Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)

Best Day: Saturday 25th

You’re craving reassurance and sympathy.  The only problem is that you keep pushing friends and family away.  What’s stopping you from being truly honest with yourself, or others?  It’s time to drop the defences, Aquarius.  Be brave enough to discuss troublesome issues.  More importantly, tell the truth.

 

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Best Day:  Sunday 26th

Clutter can drain Piscean energy.  When you walk into a room or a building, you have an instant reaction to it.  The space can agitate or calm you. So stroll through your home or office, and notice how you feel.  Mess can be a huge obstacle to the natural flow of energy and energy is something you’ve lately lacked.  This week, clear the trash.
