Lucky day: Thursday

Keynote for the Year: Take any opportunity for long-distance travel and to generally widen your horizons this year. This is how you make your world bigger and better!

JANUARY: A peak in material and financial matters helps you get the best out of situations at work. If you need to make a judgement call, keep an open mind and look closely at all the details involved. A hectic time at work also looks likely.

FEBRUARY: It’s a period when you should be full of optimism and high spirits – justifiably so! Try to keep a calm sense of perspective if sensitive and personal matters test your circumstances and sense of purpose.

MARCH: Emotionally deep relationships come into focus now, and a heart-to-heart could help you put certain matters into context. Your confidence grows as planetary forces help you to get what you want. This is an emotionally challenging time when setbacks may occur – put key issues on the back burner and relax.

APRIL: Make an early start on tasks that need your attention. Try not to jump to conclusions before you have all the salient facts, especially with colleagues. Your competitive instincts are enhanced and this is the perfect time to devote to money-making or even creative disciplines.

MAY: This is an appropriate time for finding solutions to problems, especially in a financial or work matter. Don’t expect to get all your own way with your partner – major compromises may be necessary to preserve the status quo.

JUNE: You may get the chance to improve your popularity rating as trends make you attractive to others and in the mood to socialise. Perhaps you are putting over your points of view rather forcefully. A good time to work with others towards a common goal. Lady Luck lends you a helping hand with the choices you make!

JULY: You may have to deal with potentially deceptive people and confusion may consequently reign. Keep your wits sharp to avoid this situation. The planets may lead situations to conspire against you, so don’t expect any fantastic progress at work or at home just for now.

AUGUST: You may make a decisive breakthrough in something you’ve been recently struggling with. Put your best foot forward. Trends bring a financial boost under which there are gains to be made, or maybe even unexpected money at your disposal.

SEPTEMBER: Stay on the move – you spread good vibes and people you meet feel energised by contact with you. An in-depth talk with a colleague might be just what the doctor ordered. Current planetary influences bring quite a lot of luck to your daily life.

OCTOBER: Your strength lies in your ability to get what you want during this lucrative period when your energy seems indefatigable. Work trends are steady – and you don’t mind being in a demanding role if it means earning extra money. This is a time to encounter the weird and wonderful, so long as you get out and about in wide open spaces.

NOVEMBER: Discuss your career plans with others even if they won’t agree with everything you propose. A leading role elsewhere may be in the offing. Thinking big pays off at this time which is likely to be a very ‘go ahead’ period for your personal plans, dreams and schemes.

DECEMBER: There is a very beneficial trend for all forms of physical activity. Financially you may reap some rewards, too. Emotional issues arise and elements of your personal life become uncertain; talk things over with a loved one to help you keep things in perspective.
