Aries
20 March–18 April

Ready to level up, make a difference and show the world what you’re made of? You’ve got this in 2021, Aries. Where you lead others will follow this year thanks to a powerful planetary pile up in your social eleventh house. Make a New Year’s resolution to reflect that and your star will rise beyond your wildest dreams.

Do… Join a networking group. Build your Instagram. Create a community. Commit to a cause. Use technology to your advantage. Believe in your big idea. Make a difference. Make time for friends. Share an idea with the world. Find your people.

Don’t… Give up. Go it alone. Get bored and move on to something else. Compare yourself to others. Expect overnight results. Freak out because it isn’t perfect. Hold a grudge. Ignore that niggling feeling or idea. Keep it to yourself.

Taurus
19 April–19 May

If you’ve been waiting for a business idea, passion project or your career to take off, this might just be your year. Your success zone is on fire in 2021 and life looks set to become everything you ever dreamed it would be. Make a resolution that involves a career change, a big leap or a long-held dream and you’ll strike gold, Taurus.

Do… Make the leap. Take a chance. Think big. Expect success. Aim for the win. Make a connection. Create a vision board. Travel more. Work smarter, not harder. Switch things up. Share your work. Invest in yourself. Make your own luck. Start a sideline. Accept a big reward.

Don’t… Be afraid to make a change. Let a dream die. Be afraid to aim high. Accept less than you’re worth. Stop standing up for yourself. Wait on someone else. Look backwards. Forget about downtime. Work too hard. Keep going if your heart’s not in it.

Gemini
20 May–19 June

It’s all change for Gemini in 2021. If lockdown life has left you yearning for adventure, get ready to throw yourself in to your most expansive year yet. Make a resolution related to education, travel or even a move overseas and you may find you end the year in a very different place.

Do… Follow your heart. Make up your mind. Say ‘Yes’ to a big proposition. Take a step towards a dream. Think ahead. Sign up for a course. Learn something new. Go back to school. Get on a plane (the second you can). Make long-term plans. Embrace another culture. Learn a language. Live large.

Don’t…Take no for an answer. Get stuck in a rut. Stay in your box. Ignore the world outside your window. Say ‘No’ to a big opportunity. Settle for less. Allow someone to treat you badly. Live a lie. Believe everything they tell you. Stick with the status quo. Forget to renew your passport.

Cancer

It’s time to focus in on what you want and make it happen in 2021, Cancer. And whether that’s a big goal, a big adventure or a big love, you’ve got what it takes to make it happen. Make a resolution to invest in your secret big dream (and that investment could mean time or attention, not just cash) and you’ll get the pay off you’ve always wanted in 2021.

Do… Commit. Stay on track. Say ‘Yes’ (especially in love). Throw caution to the wind. Invest in something. Choose a goal and go for it. Turn your obsession into your career. Make it happen.
