If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
2021 allows you to take what’s deservedly yours, Capricorn. As early as January, finances start to improve – just make sure that all is above-board. With emotions running high, March draws you towards illicit liaisons. Could you cope if secret love was exposed? April is just as generous in its carnal offerings, but some complications remain. If still feeling restricted, June signals make or break time. At work, timing’s important when it comes to achieving ambitions. After August, you want something so badly you can almost taste it. Wait for the green light.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Sunday 3rd
Looks like a financial leap is on the horizon. Best avenues of investment are land or property; jobs that enable you to cut down your commuting hours – or perhaps working from home. Friends or family may also take more of an interest in your well being. Some may give support without you even being aware of it. Go where life takes you.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Tuesday 5th
Saturn asks you to streamline your responsibilities. In the past, you had a cavalier attitude with regard to size of your workload. Now, you come to realise that, in taking on too much, you’re missing out on the others pleasures life has in store. 2021 offers continued success but with a better sense of balance.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Thursday 7th
Sisters may be doing it for themselves, but perhaps not so much for each other. We’ve all been so wrapped up in our own states of insecurity that we haven’t noticed the needs of our equally bewildered friends. This year suggests safety in numbers, so gather friends, colleagues and family, and make 2021’s achievements a team effort.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Friday 1st
There’s a sensual feeling to the start of the new year that makes love an easier affair. Whether it’s your relaxed attitude, or your popularity that betters your mood – it doesn’t matter. Each of these qualities will enhance the other. This is a cycle you certainly won’t want to break. There’s also a chance of finding a karmically linked soul.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Sunday 3rd
You’re ready for enchantment and a whole lot more excitement. Fortunately, the cosmos agrees. With many of your zodiac neighbours still struggling in early 2021, there are very few people around to disrupt your plans. Take this time to strengthen work strategies. New friendships also appear promising, as do financial prospects.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Tuesday 5th
Use what’s left of the new year holidays to put up protective barriers and schedule time out for doing the things you love. This isn’t the right week to plan major moves or take on extra responsibilities. Instead, lighten your load and postpone difficult decisions. Catch up with all your reading, relax in nature…or simply binge-watch your favourite shows.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Saturday 2nd
Problems have a knack of building in intensity right up to the point of no-return. You’re not your usual tolerant self this week Libra, edging more towards feeling frustrated or irritated. Mostly you’ll stay patient, but we all get a little battle-worn sometimes. Do yourself a favour – withdraw from any conflict if you can. Regroup and recoup.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Wednesday 6th
There’s much to be said about expediency, even if it puts the odd nose out of joint. Well, guess what? You’re tired of the endless debates and exploring of options. There comes a time when the course must be struck, and for you that’s now. Here’s a year when everyone else will just have to fall in line with your thoughts and actions.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Monday 4th
Routine has become a way of life for many. If life has become too predictable, 2021 is a year to try something new – even if you’re stuck at home. Start by making one small change every day. Initially, the choice may not feel comfortable, but it’s important to realise how long old patterns have been stuck in place. Be bold, Sagittarius.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Friday 1st
Capricorns are famous for their fiercely stubborn streak. And as compromise isn’t your top priority this week, expect some heated discussions. You’ve had a taste of freedom and want more. Though the planets counsel a degree of care, you want to throw caution to the wind. Just as well your cash supply looks plentiful – even if it is borrowed.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Thursday 7th
One particular project rules this new year. Aquarians seek broader horizons through knowledge or meditation. Ideas become more intense as your spiritual and intellectual awareness deepens. Others will recognise these special talents. In turn, their assistance boosts a past slump in confidence and cash flow.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Wednesday 6th
2021 is gentle on your soul, and open with introductions. You need to relish the compassion of others and throw some around yourself. Jupiter is hinting at spiritual retreat, while Pluto encourages deep friendships. Or maybe this is your year for pampering and romance. You choose, but you’ll need to be tougher after July.
