Your Stars
SAROL PILLAY June 22 1961, Pretoria, 03h00 Sun sign: Cancer Moon sign: Libra Rising sign: Taurus
You’re in one of the most sensitive, lifechanging phases of your life. Until recently you were able to control your finances and career, and keep the family in line. Now you feel you no longer have any idea what you want, or how to get it. Feelings of helplessness are making you angry. The bad news is this phase will last until the end of 2021. The good news is that you’ll be a different person once you enter the next cycle. You need to decide whether you’re willing to succumb to old age or rise above your problems and achieve mastery. Both are possible, and equally likely. You’re entering the “third act” of your life, during which you will decide whether you want to leave a legacy of hope or of fear. Ask yourself how you can help the next generation make the most of their lives. You have the opportunity to make a difference.
LIBRA
Sep 23 - Oct 22
That vulnerable needy feeling could leave you clutching at straws, if you let it. But you won’t, will you? Because you know, deep in your heart, that the way you feel now is part of a passing phase. So if you need a shoulder to lean on, find one. But this is not a good time to be issuing ultimatums. That would suggest you knew what you wanted.
SCORPIO
Oct 23 - Nov 21
Still convinced you’re being punished? Maybe you are, but not any more than anyone else. Think of this as a cosmic test; a time to find your limits and develop your strengths. By Friday, the pressure lets up, bringing career goodies instead. Don’t rush. The trick is to find your boundaries, and then slowly extend them. If your loves are driving your crazy, think about what you’re doing to them. Make some time to talk.
SAGITTARIUS Nov 22 - Dec 21
So much is going on, you barely know where to look. Make sure you get enough sleep or none of it will make sense. List your financial goals. Your budgets have slipped, and you’ll need determination to pull yourself back in line. After that, check the job. Is it time for a change? Something new is in the offing. This time, it’s not only about the money. Wishes are about to be granted.
CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20
Relationship counselling wouldn’t be a bad idea. No, it’s not that anyone is telling you how to run your life, it’s that you’ve become a fraction tunnel-visioned of late, and an alternative perspective might send you in a fascinating new direction. Or you could go on behaving like a big deal, and convince yourself that bad relationships are a part of life.
AQUARIUS
Jan 20 - Feb 18
The peculiar sensation that life is moving in slow motion is enough to unnerve the most self-contained of Aquarians. Focus on something workable, like your love life. Although relationships are being tested now, you’ll at least have some idea of what you’re dealing with. As for the rest, the energies have ground to a halt. Take a break. You’ll know when to put your foot back on the accelerator.
PISCES
Feb 19 - Mar 20
Beginnings never seems big, until you look back and gasp. Consider this the beginning of something big. The best way to prepare yourself is to expand your skills. So learn something new, sign up for courses, or read that new book.
And if there are any legal dramas lurking, stay away, or delay until you have more information. Take another look at your love life. Are you willing to change to be happy? Are they?
ARIES
Mar 21 - April 19
The cash flow improves as the love flow dams up. Your instinct, of course, is to announce that you couldn’t care less. Not true. Look again. Are you being pressured into doing things you’d rather not? That’s no excuse for shutting down. It’s time for intuitive conversation. And another look at your innermost desires. A tricky month. Play nicely.
TAURUS
Apr 20 - May 20
Neglecting the lover? So how about a wonderful gift and some romantic poetry. Actually what’s needed is communication. At work, meanwhile, it’s all go as a pet project finally takes off. Even so, no need to rush. The planets are in slow motion, so details will be important. Don’t sign anything until you have to. And get some professional advice before taking any plunges.
GEMINI
May 21 - June 20
For the time being, you can forget new projects. Or jobs. Or love affairs. In fact, it’ll be as much as you can manage to finish what you’ve already begun. Best option would be to grab some rest while you can. Be nice to remaining loved ones while they’re still talking to you. This is not the time for ultimatums. In fact, maybe you should just say “yes” to all those invitations — and get out there and play.
CANCER
June 21 - Jul 22
It’s a stressful time. You need to take care of your health. Try avoid ongoing arguments with the family, especially over money. Your love life is about to take a positive turn as you become more confident about making the moves — even at the risk of your own feelings. Rejection is a part of life. Don’t let the prospect hold you back.
LEO
Jul 23 - Aug 22
Home seems like an alien place where no-one understands you. You want to be with people who are different from your current friends. Relationships started now are bound to be fascinating and explosive — but short-lived. Stay in touch with home base and try to hide your impatience until you feel better. Don’t listen to any advice; everyone’s confused. Tune in to your inner voice.
VIRGO
Aug 23 - Sep 22
Schedule a massage or a day off. No-one will be impressed if you work twice the hours at half the pace, so take some time to build your reserves. Meanwhile, watch your mouth. There’s a tendency to say revolting things and then act as though nothing’s happened. Your planets are messing with your head so, for now, listen and absorb. Make your decisions later. Behave and your career will be grateful. Just be patient.
