If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
We each come into this world with our own unique talents and our own special tasks to perform. And this year, it’s definitely your turn to shine. 2021 highlights career and business travel, accompanied by prestige and new financial opportunities. After February, the time’s right to make a major purchase or start saving for something special. Perhaps even consider a down-payment on property or a special luxury. You may spend a little extra, but don’t settle for second best. You’re on a winning streak. At the same time, you’re nudged towards friendships and a happy social life.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Monday 16th
In recent times, you stayed calm and did your best. No one could possibly have asked for more. This week, you start to make up for lost ground. One hint: work on your presentation. It’s all in the way you tell it and sell it. Even if presented with the occasional hurdle, know that you’re a stayer who’s in for the win.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Friday 13th
OK Taurus, you’ve postponed a particular decision long enough. Now, it’s time to do something about it. Sure, it pays to be prepared – and we all know practice makes perfect. The big question is: are you ready to give it a try? You’ll only know by taking action. If tensions do exist, they seem more to do with immediate family.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Sunday 15th
It’s an ambitious week, but if you want something done – do it yourself. Delegate a project, and it may never be completed. So for now, it’s best to fly solo. Others are surprised by your sudden solitary approach, but at least you’ll get end results. Finances? They suggest an exciting detour – as does a very close well-wisher.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Tuesday 17th
When we look at other people, we see many of their qualities in seemingly random ways. Yet the qualities that we see in the those around us are often related to the traits that exist in us. ‘Like attracts like’ is one of the spiritual laws of the universe. The question is, who are you drawn to this week?
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Saturday 14th
If you’re asked to tend to a partner’s or family needs, don’t oblige out of guilt. You have your own life to lead and sainthood is a tiring road to follow. If you need some clear thinking space – perhaps a few days break might let you reflect from a distance. The planets encourage you to spread your wings and fly – preferably somewhere quiet.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Sunday 15th
This week it’s a case of lucky with money but, perhaps, unlucky in love. Career ambitions should proceed as planned, but your satisfaction may be slightly clouded by trouble with someone you love. Perhaps you’ve been devoting too much time to work, and not enough time for play. Don’t take loved ones for granted.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Monday 16th
It’s the ethereal, rather than the material that captures your imagination this week. Now that the pressure’s off work for a while, the focus steers towards spirituality and home. Creativity, love and children is where your attention falls. You work hard for your family, so take time to enjoy them too. Dreams have significant meanings.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Tuesday 17th
Get ready for special treats to come your way. Enjoy every moment of feeling pampered and spoiled. At work, too, your patience should finally be rewarded as an important breakthrough is achieved. A timely bonus could also make it easier to pay debts. Bills first, luxuries later. Sometimes, everything just seems to fall into place.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Wednesday 18th
You may be feeling restless, but don’t force things to happen. It’s often easier to simply go with the flow. Should obstacles appear, see them in the same light as opportunities. Life is a constant dance, Sagittarius. So choose the rhythm that offers you genuine joy, and know that all paths lead to the same place – your greatest good.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Saturday 14th
You’re probably still confused, not quite certain whether recent events was a delightful dream, a nightmare or just simply fate. Confronted by surprise or suspicion, this week forces you to explore new dimensions of your talents, inner truths and affections. Out of this intense transformation you will emerge, in many ways – reborn.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Wednesday 18th
Feeling overworked and underpaid? Not to worry. Recognition and rewards will soon follow. Business travel is likely, as is more financial freedom. The time’s also right for disciplined work, which you’re more than capable of handling. Better still, all this dedication doesn’t flow just one way: the more you give, the more you get.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Friday 13th
Chances are you’ve felt restrained by regulations lately, but you’re now given a chance to break free. Where others might hesitate before the fear of an uncertain future, you lead by example and show no doubt that you’re ready to move on. This could mean letting some old grievances drop, so be ready to forgive and forget.
