If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
Feeling tired? Little wonder. It’s been a hectic 12 months with much stress and little rest. But you can’t keep burning the candle at both ends, and then be surprised when the flame burns out. Take this birthday season to nurture yourself. Find a spa and pamper. The world won’t fall apart if you rest. You’ll be back in the thick of it soon enough. If you can, take a holiday – you never know who you might meet.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Tuesday 6th
There’s no one quite like Aries to scoff in the face of adversity and swing a run of bad luck in your favour. Still, you might like to know that many power planets are on your side too, and striking canny deals on your behalf. It’s all looking good – just don’t self-sabotage.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Sunday 4th
There’ll be moments this week when everyone else seems to be at play, except you. The upside? Current projects promise an abundance of rewards. And don’t worry too much about missing out on fun. Your social schedule will overflow again soon enough.
Gemini (May 21 to June 21)
Best Day: Thursday 8th
A painful situation coming to an end. Someone’s lies or deception may have caused heartache. Thankfully, the worst is over and you can now recover some equilibrium. Accept that life brings endings – there’s no reason to hang on to something that may never work. If necessary, reach out to friends for help.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Saturday 3rd
You’re generous and strong, and would lay down your life to protect your children and friends. Others, however, should never take this kindness for granted or hurt those you love. You can retaliate with a fierce attack; as this week may prove. People always forget about those crab claws, which can really leave a nasty gash.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Tuesday 6th
This week, it seems, that the sky’s the limit! Able to tune into the big picture, you’re all about bursting through previous barriers – and having plenty of fun along the way. You could also find yourself travelling, or doing business with long-distance clients or friends.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Sunday 4th
There’s a change of mood, Virgo. Instead of hurtling along at breakneck speed, your enthusiasm gives way to a gentler, more meditative pace. Perhaps for good reason. Sometimes you need slow down to ensure a safe journey ahead. Still, it needn’t be a lonely excursion.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Monday 5th
Slow down, Libra! Take a break and give yourself a chance to rest. If a reconciliation is necessary, make an effort to forgive and forget. In return, something that has seemed daunting suddenly turns into a simple exercise – thanks to the generosity of a colleague or friend.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Wednesday 7th
Everyone seems to be making demands of you. You don’t really need any extra pressure at the moment – so you’ll probably resent the intrusion of privacy. In turn, this could cause arguments and upsets. Make it clear that all you need is a little bit of peace and quiet.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Thursday 8th
It’s funny how things can improve once you “surrender”. The next few weeks bring progress on a matter that’s been irritating you for ages. Ironically, this comes at a time when the issue in question hardly seems to matter any more. Or so you thought.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Friday 2nd
Think twice before saying anything in the heat of the moment, or you may regret it. This is particularly important at work, as there’s a strong chance you could upset a colleague or mention a subject that’s totally taboo. A week to work solo, perhaps?
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Wednesday 7th
It’s a great week to start something new. A surprise offer could tie in with some luck you’re already enjoying. Sure, you may still have concerns – but that’s no reason to stay stuck in a rut. Love could also be yours for the taking….if you play nice.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Monday 5th
Your eyes are on the career prize this week. While you can occasionally be a tad scattered, now’s the time to strategise long-term goals and prioritise your routines. Pisceans are usually okay with not being a triple threat sensation over night. Your patience truly can be a virtue.
