Go forth and be confident! You are worthy of happiness and will find it.

Read on for what this week has in store for you, based on your zodiac sign.

Aries (March 21 to April 19)

The week ahead is going to bring a great focus to how you’ve been building your life in recent months, Aries. It’ll have you focused on your finances, possessions and budget.

The best part? You could soon hear of a raise, new job offer or lucrative client. The key to harnessing this energy is to know your worth and take action to build your wealth, don’t just wait for money or opportunities to come to you. Strike with confidence and keep your eyes on the prize!

It also appears someone behind the scenes is rooting for you and may be helping you in ways you had not foreseen.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)

The entire universe is smiling upon you now, Taurus. One of the most important weeks of 2024 is here for you.

In a sense, it is like you are walking down a long road that will branch in many new directions. Which path will you choose? You have experienced many new beginnings and fresh starts in the past year, yet even more opportunity is ahead for you.

Know that the actions you take now and the plans you lay into motion personally and professionally at this time could end up revolutionizing your future and the new era you are ready to embark upon. The beauty of the universe could be in the palm of your hand.

Also, be courageous to ask people for favors at this time. A friend or acquaintance could open a doorway to one of your hopes or dreams.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20)

You’re one of the most active and spontaneous zodiac signs of all, Gemini. But the week ahead may encourage you to take a step back and truly evaluate not only where you’ve been, but where you still wish to go.

Life isn’t all about rushing headfirst into new territory. Sometimes it’s crucial to rest, recharge and rejuvenate your mind, body and soul. The week ahead could be particularly helpful to do so; therefore, consider taking some extra time for TLC.

On another note, you may have an idea about how to forge your greatest ambitions and build toward professional success, so listen to your intuition!

Cancer (June 21 to July 22)

A joyous week has arrived, Cancer — one that will set up a trend of fun, celebration and popularity for months ahead.

You’re likely connecting with communities, friends and acquaintances a great deal now. While you tend to be a giver and help those who you adore, it’s also important to surround yourself with people who equally lift you up like the star that you are.

A friend or someone in your network could also supply an olive branch, idea or introduction for you that may help you forge a new path personally or professionally. Be ready to build strong plans now!

Leo (July 23 to Aug. 22)

You tend to be especially ambitious because you crave recognition, Leo. Power looks good on you! The week ahead will once again turn your greatest attention to your legacy, long-term goals and how you are building your career.

You could see new doors open in the way of a promotion, favorable attention or even a positive review from an authority figure. The key to harnessing all of this energy is to outline your goals and build strategies to reach them.

This week may also offer news or a possibility to negotiate or receive a larger amount of wealth, too.

Virgo (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)

A smile will likely cross your face this week, Virgo. You’re ready to spice up your life and pursue new adventures.

The energy of the week ahead will feel like butterflies in your stomach as you’re itching for a change of pace and ready to see what lies on the other side of the fence. You could be making plans out of the ordinary, whether that’s visiting a museum, catching up with relatives or listening to some new podcasts.

You could be inspired to go above and beyond! Perhaps pursue travel, academics or even get in touch with your spiritual side now or in the months ahead.

Libra (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)

Building strong relationships is always paramount for you, Libra. You crave to always know where you stand and seek to embrace connections that sufficiently nourish you.

The week ahead is going to deeply draw your attention to an important relationship in business or love and you’re going to be addressing equality in the exchange. You could be growing closer or noticing that more attention or resources are coming to you due to this secondary party.

If for some reason the connection has lost its sparkle, though, you could be realizing it’s outlived its purpose and you must forge forth in a different way altogether.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

At times, you fear being hurt in relationships and left behind by those who you love, Scorpio. However, you have deep hope that you’ll find people who honor, cherish and protect you.

The week ahead brings a spotlight to your most important partnerships, either in business or love. The plans you initiate now together will lead you to greater happiness, so make a promise that you want to last forever.

Couples can build a stronger foundation. They may even take the next step together, like moving in, getting engaged or marrying.

Singles should be on the lookout for someone with long-term potential who lights a fire in your heart or loins and makes you believe in love again.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)

A very busy and promising week lies ahead for you, Sagittarius. You’re moving in the fast lane! You have a great deal of luck and success on your side at this time.

The best part? It favors you in work, health and productivity — but also, you could see positive growth around home or family matters.

Achieving the perfect work and life balance may all be possible now. You have one million irons in the fire, but have the sudden winning touch to be a master of them all.

Note that this week could bring you the opportunity to take on a new job or project with your employer. If out of work, be on the hustle now!

Capricorn (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

A magical week awaits you, Capricorn! In truth, it would be a perfect moment to take less time in the office and instead focus more on what makes you happiest.

Laughter, romance, fertility, beauty, hobbies, sports, creativity and more will be presenting themselves for you around every corner. Fill your calendar with them now and you’ll find that you are able to spend more time on them in the year to come.

This is a remarkable week for dating and love, too — so if you’re single, be sure to line up dates to mix and mingle! Someone could bring a passion to your heart.

If coupled up, use this energy to reignite your spark and remember why you fell in love in the first place.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)

A very solid week is here for you, Aquarius. This will allow you to truly assess your life, both past and present.

Sometimes by reflecting on the past we can be nostalgic, but we can find a deeper sense of gratitude, too. Peace may now be found within.

The week ahead may also give you positive news around home, family, domestic or real estate matters. For instance, you could notice you’re connecting better with your kindred or making long-term plans together.

Elsewhere, you could be making a big, but practical decision around moving, renovating, redecorating or even getting into ownership.

Pisces (Feb. 19 to March 20)

You’re going to love the week ahead, Pisces! Not only will it bring opportunities for you to build long-term success and happiness, but you’ll have a true sense of clarity on where you’re headed.

This is one of the best periods of the year to brainstorm ideas, goals and create strategies to manifest them. Anything related to communications, travel or contracts built from this time will grant you magnificent opportunities now and in the long run.

While you do tend to be imaginative and visionary, the key now is to focus instead on practicality. This will empower you with the winning touch and golden ideas!
