Whether you're about to celebrate your birthday, or have months to wait until your special day, this week's horoscope makes fascinating reading.
If you thought your horoscope could only tell you about your personality - or who you ought to date - you were wrong.
Because your zodiac can also tell you a lot of other interesting little titbits as well. Think your ideal alcoholic beverage and dream engagement ring, for starters.
Your star sign can also help you to plan for the week ahead - if you know how to read it, that is. Thank goodness, then, for Closer astrologer Yasmin Boland, who has examined the stars of the zodiac to bring you your VERY detailed weekly horoscope.
If it's your birthday this week...
You’re soon coming to the end of a longer-running cycle about freedom and authenticity. If you’re feeling itchy, restless or even a tad irritable, chances are you need to make some much-needed changes. Seek forgiveness rather than permission.
Closer horoscopes
1 of 12AQUARIUS
The more you enjoy the good life, the more the good life will enjoy you! In other words, you have an obligation to be happy! There isn’t a problem that can’t be solved with joyous intention. If you need life to feel better, then you need to feel better.
2 of 12PISCES
The more you focus on an abundant mindset, the more abundant you’ll become. Soon, you’ll be tempted to see life only through the spreadsheet. Sure, don’t ignore the facts and figures, but there’s more to life than that. The more you focus on your dreams, the more they’ll come true.
3 of 12ARIES
Venus returns to your sign this week and you can get back to where things left off from early March. If things do feel confusing, that’s OK. You’re getting used to a new cycle of surrendering control and slowing down. Do stop to smell the roses and enjoy life a bit.
4 of 12TAURUS
Just like the New Moon that happened in your sign, if you can see life with a fresh perspective right now, you’ll find that you’ll make choices based on where you’re going, not where you’ve been. This week you will see things from a new perspective.
5 of 12GEMINI
Even if you’re feeling slightly overwhelmed by recent changes, there are plenty more to come. Your main mission now is to not let distractions derail you. You have enough information to know what you need to do. It’s time to focus and execute. Do keep your spirits high this week.
6 of 12CANCER
Life doesn’t have to work out just like you expected it would to be good. In fact, life would be boring if it always went exactly to plan. Right now, you’ve just got to roll with the changes, even if they are confusing. Find the beauty in the madness of it all.
7 of 12LEO
It’s been a long time coming, but you’re back to where you were positioned late last year. It’s been a steep learning curve, but now you can return to regular programming with whatever was stalled or delayed then. With renewed energy and focus, you can achieve your goals.
8 of 12VIRGO
As much as you try, you can’t micro manage life. There are so many changes in the air that you would do yourself a disservice if you did that now. Focus on the professional and life direction blessings that you’ve got. Double down on what is good and you’ll have more good.
9 of 12LIBRA
Relationships of all kinds have been nothing short of confusing recently. Thankfully, your ruling planet Venus will help smooth things out. That being said though, you need to consider your needs too, especially after the recent Venus retrograde cycle. Avoid sacrificing your need for harmony when you need balance.
10 of 12SCORPIO
Progress on the professional front or in terms of your overall life direction got stalled late last year. Missed opportunities may now be back on the table. A lot has changed since then. It’s OK if you no longer want what you once did. Be honest with yourself and what you need.
11 of 12SAGITTARIUS
You’ve been learning a lot about partnership, love and other people in general. This area of your life is set to shift dramatically – and soon! For now, try not to overthink things. Enjoy the magic of rediscovering romance and joy. Learning to love is learning to surrender and let go!
12 of 12CAPRICORN
When it comes to your home life, it really is what you make it. Now that a new cycle has arrived in your Home Zone, you will get the opportunity to dedicate yourself to your domestic dreams. If you’re unsure of what you want, don’t worry – you soon will!
