If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
Start this birthday season by doing what you love, Virgo. Enjoy those long lunches, indulge in shopping sprees and invest in pampering days at the spa. With the Sun in your own sign again – you’re back at your best. A bargain, new business or financial opportunity should soon present itself. But wait until 22nd before you sign any contracts or accept and deals. This year also stirs a hunger for passion – with a definite upswing in sensuality. Better still, you discover that you’re warmly loved, with any new romance looking to be long term. And should the planets encourage commitment, why question it?
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Sunday 9th
No one has a completely drama free existence – we all make mistakes. Consider, though, that errors of judgement are simply learning tools towards self awareness, wisdom and compassion. So don’t be swamped by remorse or disappointment. Discard what’s no longer needed in your life. Forgive others, and yourself.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Tuesday 11th
You’re attracted to the new and unusual, and that encourages a saunter off the beaten track. If well prepared, you could soon be treading more lucrative paths. But there’s still a risk element involved. If plans are delayed by a lack of capital, don’t let this ruin a potentially fun week. Although money helps, the best things in life are still free.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Thursday 13th
Like it or not, sometimes the best things happen when they’re least expected. Sure, there may be issues to deal with, but you’re likely to find that each one is relatively minor. Be patient, too, in matters of the heart; there’s no hurry for a decision. A change of living arrangements could also either frustrate, or delight you.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Wednesday 12th
This week tests your sense of stability. Financial uncertainty features, so avoid get-rich-quick schemes. The same goes for former lovers who try to stray back within reach. It might be wise to remember why you broke up in the first place. If you’re trying to lose weight, boredom is your worst enemy – so avoid snack attacks by keeping on the go.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Sunday 9th
This week has an important feel about it, where most Leos get to move in a new direction. Others may want to intrude on your plans, but you know what’s no longer working for you – so don’t ignore this chance to discard heavy burdens or emotions. By lightening the load, life becomes easier. Love wins a generous time slot too.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Monday 10th
They say everything passes, but better times can’t happen soon enough. You could do with some light relief. In the meantime, if others are still out to undermine you, the planets provide cosmic carte blanche to regain control. This time, you get the upper hand. Life becomes all about independence, and reclaiming your own strength.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Tuesday 11th
You’re not done yet, Libra Sure, you could be questioning if it’s all worth it – or whether you should abandon a fruitless quest. Rather than panic, you should sit down and calmly work out what’s going on. All you need is a new perspective, and plenty of fresh air. Step out in the elements – a few days break should do it.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Wednesday 12th
Endless conflict has chipped away at the Scorpio spirit. You could save yourself more problems by taking a few days break, preferably in easy-going company. The other trick is to become invisible. Right now, a good portion of humanity is feeling tetchy, with some intangible elements brewing up a tiff. Tread softly.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Friday 7th
Time for some lateral thought, Sagittarius. Instead of hurriedly grappling for difficult or, perhaps, unattainable aims – stop rushing and take the time to look at things from a different viewpoint. There’s still much to learn, and living by a new set of rules could be just what you need.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Monday 10th
Sometimes we have to live through situations that we don’t understand, but if we wait long enough, a reason for that experience usually reveals itself. This is especially important to remember at times when we feel directionless or unsure of what to do. Life is full of buried treasures. Chances are, you’re sitting on some hidden gems this week.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Sunday 9th
Someone’s very hot under the collar, and is righteously laying down the law or simply making a nuisance of themselves. You may find this individual either at home or at work. So, should you confront, or ignore this thoughtless bully? Best to just step away. Expect financial changes, so don’t become too dependent on another’s money or resources.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Saturday 8th
This week finds many Pisceans retreating into privacy. A secret love affair may begin, or perhaps entanglements from the past influence the present. You may feel nervous, wondering whether you’ve done the right thing in a tricky situation. What you really need is peace and quiet, so use whatever excuse you need to reject intrusive invitations.
