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...
As one door closes, another opens. On the one hand, a very lucky cycle has reached its completion. On the other, a cycle of changes and excitement will arrive. Reflect on what you’ve learned and how you’ve grown. The next cycle is about being your true self.
Closer horoscopes

AQUARIUS
Sometimes life is about just putting one foot in front of the other. It may not feel as though you’re making progress, but you are. Celebrate the little wins because, before you know it, they have compounded into large ones. If life feels like a grind, prioritise self-care.

PISCES
The best things in life are often free. Or are they? Right now, you may have to invest in experiencing real joy in your life. How much should a memory cost? It’s not even really about the money, it’s about your perspective. The chance to make a memory is money well spent.

ARIES
Now we’re halfway through the year, it’s time to re-focus your energies. Mars, your ruler, is now in your Daily Grind Zone, encouraging you to keep going. You may have to work hard, but focus on being efficient rather than busy. Try not to burn the candle at both ends.

TAURUS
You know the phrase ‘opportunities multiply when they are seized’? It’s true! The easiest way to multiply your chances for growth, abundance and luck is to think differently about yourself and life. Look for opportunities where others see problems. Changing your mind is the easiest way to change your life.

GEMINI
It’s been a bit of a rough start to the year in terms of finance, abundance and general manifestation. All that changes now! Jupiter, the planet of abundance and luck, is now in your Money Zone for a year! Start calling in the cash and whatever else you want to attract.

CANCER
You may have opportunities land in your lap that, just last week, felt so far away. With an abundance of options comes some weighty decisions. What you want and what your Career and Overall Life Direction require may be in conflict. When in doubt, double down on your self-confidence.

LEO
Thus far, 2025 has brought you your fair share of challenges and obstacles to overcome. You’ve learned a lot about yourself, though! The learning will continue as the Sun slips into your most Private Zone. Meditation and reflection are key. The best investment you can make is to know thyself.

VIRGO
It’s been a long time coming but, finally, Mars has arrived in your sign. Now, you have a cosmic green light to take action and relish in a bit of healthy selfishness. Consider your personal goals for the next two years. Take positive action toward whatever it is you want to achieve.

LIBRA
Earlier this year, your Career and Big Picture Direction looked a little uncertain. You went back to the drawing board – more than once – and did what had to be done. No good deed goes unrewarded. Now, your promised rewards will arrive. The more gratitude you show, the more blessed you’ll be.

SCORPIO
If travel, adventure and discovery have been things you’ve yearned for, you may now get the chance. Thanks to Jupiter in your Travel and Study Zone for a year, the world may be your oyster, literally or metaphorically. Widening your horizons and your perspectives in some way will inspire you.

SAGITTARIUS
Sometimes it’s not until we look back in hindsight that we realise just how much we’ve achieved. Jupiter, now in Cancer, occupies a less obvious area of your horoscope. Progress is likely, but in more subtle rather than obvious ways, especially around money. Taking small steps still generates progress.

CAPRICORN
The more you focus on your Family Life and your most Significant Relationship, the happier you’ll be. It will take some adjustment and compromise on your behalf, but it can be done. Anything is possible as long as you believe it so! Just commit to the dream you hold inside your heart.
