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...
If at first you don’t learn the lessons the Universe is sending you, you will just get the same old lesson again and again until you do learn it. If that sounds tedious, it might be! So go into the coming year ready and willing to learn the lessons coming your way.
Closer horoscopes
1 of 12AQUARIUS
Tempting as it might be to run far, far away from all the intensity in your life now; (a) wherever you go, there you are and; (b) you will be happier if you enjoy wherever home is. Attend to the details of your life and the big picture will take care of itself.
2 of 12PISCES
We’d all love a sugar daddy, wouldn’t we? Or at least a no-strings sugar daddy! But right now, if you want to feel good about yourself, your life and your finances, your stars strongly suggest you go your own way when it comes to cash. Rely on no one. You’ve got this.
3 of 12ARIES
If you’ve been a bit obsessed with someone in the past 18 months or so, guess what? That is about to fade as the South Node gets closer and closer to the edge of your Love Zone. Now is the time for you to work out why you need to stand on your own two feet. Be as independent as possible!
4 of 12TAURUS
In case you missed the memo, this is a super-powerful time for you spiritually. As much as it might feel safe living in the ‘real’ world and taking care of business, happiness lies in connecting with your inner self, aka your Higher Self. Meditation will connect you to the Divine within.
5 of 12GEMINI
You are famously expressive, and that’s a very good thing. However, right now, if you can consider what the people around you need as much as what you need to feel self-expressed, it will do a lot of good. Happy friends, happy life cold be your motto now. Be thoughtful!
6 of 12CANCER
You are a homebody at heart and that’s one of the things we love about you. However, you need to step out of the nest and into the big, wide world around you. Chase some dreams and see where you end up. Professional fulfilment will … fulfil you!
7 of 12LEO
You are in recovery from some rather gnarly astrology and starting off some intense new cycles too. With all that, it could be too easy for you to become too inward-looking but, right now, you need to see the big picture. Do whatever it takes to keep your horizons expanded.
8 of 12VIRGO
As tempting and laudable as it might be to aim for financial independence, your stars tell another story right now. Do look into financial partnerships and explore joint ventures – they could prove to be just what the cosmic financial director ordered. There’ll be time to stand on your own two feet later.
9 of 12LIBRA
You are Libran so it means that you came into this world to learn about relating to others. Do that! Your current stars mean you might feel it’s easier to keep yourself to yourself at the moment, but you will find greater happiness by connecting with others. PS You’re so good at connecting!
10 of 12SCORPIO
Tempting as it might be to hide yourself away and meditate and contemplate life, your stars have other ideas regarding what’s going to be good for you right now. Get out and about, develop some healthy routines and make your life as functional as you can! Seek healing if you need it.
11 of 12SAGITTARIUS
You’re one of the most social signs. However, your stars are strongly advising you to take some time out to allow yourself some ‘me time’ for self-expression, fun and even hanging out with your kids or your Inner Child. Get your creative juices flowing.
12 of 12CAPRICORN
As arguably the most ambitious of signs, no one can blame you for having an endless list of goals and ambitions. But don’t you just want a little bit of time out every now and then? Like now? Take some family time. See your mum or dad, if you can.
