ARIES (21 Mar-20 Apr)

LOVE Having a vibrant social life outside your work will cultivate joy and happiness.

A hobby you take up in March will inspire you to join an organisation where you will meet many positive people. Are you single? Your skills will win the admiration of an accomplished person and your popularity will soar. September’s a good time to arrange a mini break with your amour – you will both enjoy a dramatic change of scenery.

LIFE A creative breakthrough in the spring will cause you to breathe a sigh of relief.

All you needed was the freedom to develop your own ideas. Changing your image will feel liberating around your birthday. Your health will get a big boost during the latter half of the year. With Mars in your sign, you will feel stronger, more confident and more energetic.

MONEY Solving a work problem will put you in line for better jobs as the year begins.

Your boss will be impressed by your creativity in the spring, and this could lead to a raise, a promotion or both. Take advantage of a great travel deal in the autumn. You might get to stay in a very comfortable hotel for a reasonable amount of money.

TAURUS (21 Apr-21 May)

LOVE The emotional investment you put into relationships early in the year will pay off in summer.

Your patience in helping a friend or partner overcome personal problems will earn you more than gratitude. It will earn you their love. Speak up in September if you want to let someone know you care about them.

LIFE The more tedious and dreary your life becomes, the more restless you will feel.

Uranus in your sign will make you more daring and adventurous. April will see you in a lively frame of mind. Friends will enjoy your company because you’ll keep them endlessly stimulated and entertained. Teamwork continues to be the key to your happiness as the year ends and including family in your plans will ensure harmonious relationships.

MONEY Between January and June, you will take great delight in proving you have what it takes to be successful.

A higher standard of living will reflect your bigger income. Working from home will be rewarding in September. You will be at your most productive when working in comfortable surroundings. Ideas for making money will be racing through your head in October. Make more time for fun and games as the year ends.

GEMINI (22 May-21 June)

LOVE Your kindness and generosity will pave the way for stronger relationships in January.

Your loved ones appreciate the sacrifices you are making. You’ll have loving and memorable experiences between April and August while Venus is in your sign. Throwing a party will be a lot of fun in October. If you’re single, you could be in the front row at a wedding as the year ends.

LIFE You will be offered a wonderful chance to expand your horizons in February.

Travelling overseas, choosing your next career path and gaining expert knowledge are among the possibilities. Getting involved in an unusual creative project will fill you with hope and optimism in the summer. Teamwork in the autumn will produce impressive and possibly unexpected results.

MONEY Mind how you go financially as the year begins. Money will be burning a big hole in your pocket.

A career opportunity in June will be a chance to exercise your creativity and you will feel excited about the future. A fundraising campaign will attract your attention as the year ends and you will want to lend a hand. Think carefully about accepting a profit-sharing offer in December.

LOVE January will be a good month for making a romantic commitment and establishing strong roots.
