If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
Ariens are prompted to take more of a gamble this year, which could mean a change of address, or occupation. While you may quietly dread the upheaval this suggests, don’t waste your energy resisting. Sure, you’re tempted to stay snuggled in the familiar but change doesn’t necessarily bring chaos – the Universe never gives you more than you can handle. The time’s right to get the ball rolling on contracts that hold the promise of long-term success. But it’s not all work. Look forward to mischievous May – a month that offers the chance to mix business with some delightful play.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Saturday 10th
Your mind is on the move, and the change looks positive. Basically, it comes down to trusting your instincts and then acting on them quickly. For many, this will mean new work or study. And why not take a chance on love? All this, thanks to a new moon in your own sign. It seems that, this week, you’re irresistible.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Monday 12th
Recently, too many demands have drained the Taurean spirit. No wonder you’ve scuttled back into your shell. Take heart, my friend. Brighter times lie ahead. The greatest gift? A growing self-confidence, and an equally expanding income. For some, this may relate to professional matters. Others look to resolve a mystery. An “a’ha” moment sheds light.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Sunday 11th
Seems that you’re sensitive to the slightest hint of criticism this week, Gemini. Please don’t overreact to casual comments. No one is out to deliberately hurt you. And if you are feeling more vulnerable – let others know. At work, too, impatience could lead you astray. Don’t scatter energies, or you could end up exhausted.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Tuesday 13th
You’re upset, Cancer – and want to speak your mind. But if you have nothing nice to say – for now, it’s wiser to say nothing at all. Don’t make allegations that are hard to take back. Should you choose to push personal boundaries, be sure you can cope with the consequences. Or if feeling truly tired, take some time out to rest.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Sunday 11th
Think twice before saying anything in the heat of the moment, or you may regret it. Yes, these are difficult times, but remember we’re all in this together. It’s at home that you’re particularly restless. Leos who manage to get out regularly fare better. It’s the home-bound that are having a particularly hard time.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Wednesday 14th
This week brings a welcome turning point. As there’s no telling where unexpected offers may lead, why not take a few calculated risks? Financial problems should also start to ease – so, at last, niggling debts can start to be cleared. You’re welcome to disagree, but this all sounds like the makings of a much easier time.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Monday 12th
That old self-doubt is back again, but you’ll just have to scrape up your self esteem and paste on your best smile. Most of the trouble is at home, so you’re in for some candid chat if there’s any hope of restoring the peace. Sometimes it’s best to just forgive and forget. That means forgiving yourself, too.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Saturday 10th
As much as you’d like to retain stability, the cosmos now seems determined to cause the unpredictable. This is your week to discover that a new way of looking at life can bring blessings. If offered an opportunity to expand, don’t hesitate. You’re also better equipped to deal with financial issues – so sort out money problems.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Friday 9th
Common sense proves to be your biggest ally this week, when you’re asked to be more giving in your approach to life and love. Children draw out your nurturing tendencies, or close friends and family request a helping hand. If that means putting up with minor gripes, so be it. You now have heavenly support.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Thursday 15th
You may be cash-strapped, but don’t give others the impression that your finances are unsettled. Worrying about income makes no difference but it could attract dishonest individuals. There are plenty of sharks out there all-too-happy to feed on concerned Capricorns. Stay silent about your income and expenditure.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Saturday 10th
Take the initiative when it comes to love. A burning attraction could set off real-life sparks, so why let so much passion go to waste? Enjoy the fireworks, Aquarius. If romance isn’t what’s fuelling current desires – make the most of what is, especially in creative or artistic matters. There’s also a direct link between work and romance.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Friday 9th
This week, Pisceans tackle negotiations forcefully and with purpose – happily, in your favour. And now that you’ve finally decided to embark on that special journey or project – there’s no turning back. This is a time when one small catalyst could make all the difference. Someone in authority may offer a helping hand.
