Your lookahead horoscope: February 22, 2026

  IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY Venus and Jupiter make a wonderful link on your birthday, which means you will be lucky in love and in all things to do with money and business. If you are going to hit the big time it’s most likely to happen over the next 12 months. ARIES (March 21 - April 20): Leave your doubts and fears behind and do something special. Cosmic activity in the most sensitive area of your chart won’t make that easy but if you want to make your mark on the world it’s got to be now, so push yourself harder. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21): With so much energy at your disposal there is a danger you might fritter it away on matters of no real importance.

Tips for building your 2024 investment plan


As we enter the new year, it’s a good time to reevaluate your investment strategies and prepare for the evolving market conditions. Here are some tips to help you build a successful investment plan for 2024:

  • Reevaluate your investment strategies: Experts suggest that now is a good time to reevaluate your investment strategies and prepare for the evolving market conditions. Although Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem has said it is too early to consider rate cuts, the central bank could begin cutting interest rates as early as April or May, according to forecasts from TD. Falling interest rates will be the story of 2024, so it’s important to invest accordingly.
  • Consider low-cost dividend-focused index funds: Investing in low-cost dividend-focused index funds can help you generate passive income at a low cost for life.
  • Be cautious with GICs: Last year, many investors chose to park money in savings or a short-term Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC), earning risk-free returns of 5 per cent or more. Although it was an effective strategy in a high-interest-rate environment, GIC rates are already falling, and completely opposite market forces are starting to take shape. Canadians looking to simply protect their cash in 2024 could be in for a “rough year,” potentially missing out on greater gains elsewhere.
  • Prepare for the evolving market conditions: With the market conditions evolving, it’s important to prepare for the changes. Falling interest rates will be the story of 2024, so it’s important to invest accordingly.
