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 have a lovely birthday chart, so get out there and make some good things happen in your life. It’s a year to chase your dreams (don’t just expect things to magically materialise!). You could also find the people you know or meet this year help you amazingly.
