If you celebrate your birthday this week:
Your Year Ahead
Expect great connections and a full-on pace feature this year. Although the idea of more hard work may not appeal, you’ll welcome the extra pay. The cosmos brings unique ways to increase your income, and still have fun in the process. Just remember that despite your own honesty, others often have hidden agendas. After December, there’s also the chance of mixing business with pleasure. A hint of romance, a touch of culture and some extra cash may arrive in a parcel of cosmic goodies. It feels good to know that you’re in step with the universe.
Aries (March 21 – April 20)
Best Day: Monday 28th
Your health needs attention, Aries. Make every effort to regard your body as a temple rather than a road-stop. This means fewer take-away meals and more exercise. If you’re single and hoping to meet someone new, stop hiding behind closed doors. Go out and sparkle like the star you are. Couples, too, should make more effort.
Taurus (April 21 – May 20)
Best Day: Sunday 27th
Taureans could feel disappointed by something that hasn’t taken off as you thought it might. But don’t take the wrecking ball to your fabulous ideas. If you have to dial back and make sure all the fundamental pieces are in place, so be it – just don’t give up. Instead, consider this as a time of reflection and correction.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
Best Day: Saturday 26th
You might prefer to settle into a cosy routine, but a charged-up cosmos keeps you in constant motion. Don’t fret. Hard work won’t slow you down or narrow your choices. Quite the opposite. If necessary, continue your education. Choose courses based on direct hands-on experience, rather than sitting in dusty lecture rooms.
Cancer (June 22 – July 22)
Best Day: Wednesday 30th
Stress threatens to trip your overload switch. Slow it up and let the pressure ease. This week let intimacy and friendship take priority over professional ambitions. There’ll always be commitments to worry about, but you should now be rediscovering the art of play. Learn to enjoy the life that you share with others.
Leo (July 23 – August 23)
Best Day: Saturday 26th
It’s a promising week for new ventures, Leo. You could make a lasting impression on the-powers-that-be, so stay alert to the possibility of showcasing your multi-faceted talents. Finances are strong; communications increase. If money’s been tight, there’s a good chance you can now loosen your purse strings.
Virgo (August 24 – September 22)
Best Day: Monday 28th
This week has a special mission: to show how capable you are. Playing the devil’s advocate isn’t your usual role, but an unusual assertive edge will benefit most Virgos. There aren’t many reasons for caution right now. Even if there were, you’re fuelled with too much enthusiasm to be held back. Give the world your best shot.
Libra (September 23 – October 23)
Best Day: Tuesday 29th
Mars continues to energise your relationship sector. There’s nothing to worry about if things get a tad heated. It’s a sign of honesty and integrity. Professionally, too, you initiate new projects and take charge. Do your best to ignore Jupiter who is goading you to lash out on luxuries. Put any windfalls to more sensible use.
Scorpio (October 24 – November 22)
Best Day: Thursday 1st
Prepare for a chaotic week. With daily routine in a constant state of disruption, the cosmos asks that you stay flexible. Unfortunately, your wrath is more likely to leave you seething, and a Scorpion sting seldom goes unfelt. Keep a check on anger before rendering others helpless.
Sagittarius (November 23 – December 21)
Best Day: Friday 25th
You have felt confined for too long. More recently, very little has come easily and life has felt like a struggle. But that was then. The planets now cheer you on – romantically, financially and professionally – so be willing to “go big” should the situation dictate. Just keep your diet under control, or you may end up a few kilos heavier as well.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 20)
Best Day: Tuesday 29th
Stay flexible as Mars shakes up your home life. For many Capricorns, there are homes to buy, move into or renovations and new additions to your family unit. Mars brings decisiveness – it’s time for actions on what’s been ignored or let slide with family members or in your living siutation. It’s an especially busy week.
Aquarius (January 21 – February 18)
Best Day: Wednesday 30th
Your mind is drawn in many directions this week, making it difficult to keep an eye on everything. Joint finances, in particular. And there’s nothing like financial woes to try a relationship. At work, others could cloud your judgement. It’s been said that many hands make light work, but some of them may be attached to highly opinionated individuals.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Best Day: Friday 25th
Be brave enough to emerge from your emotional wilderness, Pisces. Face the fact that either you or a partner needs room to grow, while the other needs to be more flexible. Singles, you have to love yourself before anyone else can. Best news: the financial roller-coaster you’ve been riding turns less hazardous.
