Mariam Aftab reveals what the upcoming year has in store for you
AFTAB / CAPRICORN
The ambition card
Dec 22 – Jan 21
Strengths: Disciplined, patient, organised
Challenges: Inhibition, depression, rigidity
See influential people; pursue business, career interests; attend to duties. Home, family and psychological issues will be clarified as the month progresses. Overall health is good, but rest and relax more. This is a time to take care of family and domestic obligations and to slow down on the career front. Enhance intelligence and avoid arguments.
DUA / AQUARIUS
The self-card
Jan 21 – Feb 19
Strengths: Humanitarian, analytical, progressive
Challenges: Unreliability, chaotic, extremism
It can be difficult to synchronise as your spread reveals a decelerated schedule. Flow with the currents. Pour out a stream of consciousness on your journal pages. The wise Aquarian knows that paper is patient and bears anything. Read about ceremonies and rituals different from your own. Surrender all to romance this month. Love is active but more unstable than it has ever been. Power struggles threaten a current relationship.
JAL / PISCES
The sensitivity card
Feb 20 – Mar 20
Strengths: Idealistic, spiritual
Challenges: Escapism, weakness, self-deception
Pursue peaceful interests; boost self-confidence; overcome limitations; find the causes for fears; be charitable and sympathetic. It is time to dig deep into the depths of your soul. You may have to work through issues in an honest and upfront manner. You won’t know what to expect. You’re coming close to understanding what your own desire will bring you. Follow your heart.
FIZA / ARIES
The aura card
Mar 21 – Apr 20
Strengths: Intelligent, assertive, adventurous
Challenges: Trouble with sharing, too much ego, vindictiveness
Love remains complicated this month. An existing relationship is still under siege. Some of you are juggling two relationships, which can be stressful. A friend or co-worker is at odds with your beloved. But when things get good, they get very good. Things are good on the finances front. You are much more than you think you are, much more than your own highest concept of yourself.
WISAAL / TAURUS
The physical change card
Apr 21 – May 21
Strengths: Hard working, honest, brave
Challenges: Intractability, short sightedness, bullying tendencies
Boost personal income; add to possessions; deal with bankers; open accounts. Enhance loyalty and avoid possessiveness. You will be able to do the greatest things with passion in your heart. Insights into something important will give you comfort. You will need to deal with some pretty egotistical individuals at this point though.
ASHIQ / GEMINI
The love card
May 22 – Jun 21
Strengths: Witty, intelligent, versatile
Challenges: Superficiality, fickleness, lack of commitment
You need to watch your health, especially in the middle of the month. Love is still tense and stormy. Material gifts turn you on. You are attracted by wealth and wealthy people, people who can help you attain your financial goals. The problem here is that you should also be looking at other issues and compatibilities. Be careful of treating your beloved as another possession or bauble.
IRTIQA / CANCER
The growth card
Jun 22 – Jul 23
Strengths: Intuitive, nurturing, maternal

Ever thought about a career in arts and music? It’s a good month to start. Be a supportive influence for a friend or lover who is weathering a crisis. Enhance your imagination and avoid laziness. You will understand something that has dodged you for quite a while. Open your mind and heart to new potentials. This is an excellent time to work with the pros and find something that will challenge your heart and mind.
QUWAT / LEO
The strength card
Jul 24 – Aug 23
Strengths: Brave, honest, confident

Your spread indicates that conflicts and arguments with your partner may be lighting up the home front a little more than usual. Try to be patient and understanding, for things will get back to normal before you know it. If you find yourself feeling a little stressed out, try to develop a more stable demeanour and give things a chance to settle down a bit. A legal dispute will end-up well. You will receive an invitation to an important meeting or convention. Mondays will be lovely all through this month.

Enhance your skills; seek employment; make improvements in your health and hygiene. Enhance broadmindedness and avoid lethargy.
