If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
Cosmic waves shake up your life and bring opportunities to showcase your brilliance. This year is a time of power – sexual, emotional and professional. Additional responsibilities may be required of you, but nothing you can’t handle. Your success should do more than just boost financial prospects. When passionate desires demand attention, ease up on the workload and let love flow. Some Virgos may yield to illicit temptations, while others prefer to live less dangerously – but no less romantically. Also likely – financial gains from inheritance, tax or insurance.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Saturday 15th
It’s difficult to always please everyone, and sometimes you just can’t please anyone. Tension can make you feel tetchy, and right now you need to keep a cool head. If you’re feeling crowded, break away for a while – a supportive cosmos encourages a few days of solitude. By week’s end you should emerge determined – knowing your own worth.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Sunday 16th
It’s an ambitious week. But if you want something done, do it yourself. For now, it’s best to fly solo. Delegate a project, and it may never be completed. Others are surprised by your sudden maverick approach, but at least you’ll get end results. Finances? They suggest an exciting detour – as does a very close well-wisher.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Monday 17th
The week promises love, when warm and uncomplicated company goes a long way towards creating happy memories. Don’t worry yourself too much over minor problems. In time, most issues resolve themselves. Self-discipline may be low, but that’s not so bad. You work hard for those you love – so take time out to simply enjoy.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Wednesday 19th
Establishing a routine has been difficult, and discipline a bore. You may be fretful about finances. Not surprising, as you’ve recently been presented with a not-so-great report on how you’ve managed your funds. If necessary, rein in the plastic and nurture nest eggs. Professionally, stay open to new opportunities.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Saturday 15th
Excitement’s in the air, and you sense it. The time’s right to turn dreams into reality. Start a new business – find a new job. Let loved ones spoil you. What’s to lose? Nothing. But there’s plenty to suggest fun and a fistful of dollars. Finances look particularly promising, with a possible merger of love and business interests.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Friday 14th
You often produce your best results when working in a team effort. Of course, it takes the right combination of people to bring about success, and this is where some problems might arise. Finances promise a much needed boost as job prospects improve. Or someone close does well in the cash stakes, and you get to share some of their spoils.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Tuesday 18th
We live on a planet where not everyone will always agree. End result? A battle of wills. Words may be spoken in haste and in hindsight, with regret. Not to worry – time heals all. The true test, however, comes in learning to overcome obstacles. When one way is blocked, find another. When one method fails, devise a new one.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Monday 17th
Wave goodbye to the mundane and welcome to a risk-taking week. Best news? Romantic fantasies just might override reality. One warning: if you’re coupled and want to stay that way, lock the windows and bolt the doors until all temptations blow over. After the 20th, the Sun helps by nudging energies towards greater professional involvement.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Wednesday 19th
You finally reap the rewards for having lived a little more frugally. This week, finances should free up to allow some small indulgences, and a quick break isn’t out of the question. What’s more, everyone’s aware of how truly wonderful you can be. If looking for love, you may be taken by surprise while gazing in another direction.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Saturday 15th
Capricorns finally tackle the backlog of work and chores that have been piling up, but you’re not propelled solely by the work ethic. A more likely motivation is your longing for luxury, which needs financing. You may, however, find yourself battling with someone in a position of power. Venus compensates by introducing an intriguing new friend.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Friday 14th
Why is it that you always seem to want the opposite of what’s offered? When thrown into the limelight, you want quiet. When left alone, you want to be included. Either way, you take to authority like a pit bull – so heaven help those who push their case beyond reason. There’s too much to be done in too little time. Yet, there’s still room for romance.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Thursday 20th
Pisceans could feel disappointed by something that hasn’t taken off as you thought it might. But don’t let this sober reality check be the wrecking ball to your fantastic ideas. If you have to dial back and make sure all the fundamental pieces are in place, so be – just don’t give up. Instead, consider this some much needed “timeout”.
