YOUR STARS

- By PETRA DU PREEZ

CAPRICORN

21 DEC – 20 JAN It’s a week in which your innate Capricorn characteri­stics can be a burden or a boon. While your sober habits and responsibl­e ways could save you money, pessimism, combined with being overly cautious, may lead to missed opportunit­ies. Ambition and discipline will certainly help you climb the ladder of success, but all work and no play could lead to you missing out on the things money can’t buy. Taking life too seriously could further label you as a killjoy. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 41, 18, 23, 1, 51, 21

AQUARIUS

21 JAN – 18 FEB You’re concerned about the wellbeing of the planet and the people inhabiting it. It’s a week in which to be part of a group, so rather than going at it alone, join a humanitari­an organisati­on or an ecological group. Sharing your knowledge, skills and revolution­ary ideas may go a long way to make a difference. It’s also a great opportunit­y to meet like-minded friends. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 33, 5, 31, 52, 10, 36

PISCES

19 FEB – 20 MARCH Mercury moves into your profession­al horoscope making it a time to think about advancing this aspect of your life. Draw up a business plan, update your CV, design a profession­al website or devote yourself to studying further. Your career is currently highlighte­d, so shelve your daydreamin­g habits, get going and make hay while the sun shines. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 5, 41, 28, 50, 15, 4

ARIES

21 MARCH – 19 APRIL You should feel confident expressing yourself verbally as communicat­ive Mercury moves into a compatible fire sign. Whether you have to debate a viewpoint, need to shoot from the hip or woo a lover, words won’t fail you. Unfortunat­ely inconsider­ate comments and rash replies can easily escape your lips too. So be careful, lest you lose friends and gain foes. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 31, 21, 6, 9, 44, 22

TAURUS

20 APRIL – 20 MAY If you’re a true Taurus, chances are you’ve got a self-indulgent streak, but this week you may be somewhat restrained. Forego treats, comfort and luxuries – you could be doing your pocket as well as your waistline a favour. You may find it tough to engage in frivolous social activities, but profession­al relationsh­ips can be forged with great success. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 12, 10, 22, 32, 13, 45

GEMINI

21 MAY – 20 JUNE Your planet, Mercury, moves into your love horoscope, enhancing this area of your life. Whether you want to smooth-talk a potential lover, need to appease your spouse or have to get out of a tricky corner, you might strike it lucky. It’s also a great time in which to chat to your partner, whether about your future plans or the latest gossip. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 13, 6, 46, 24, 16, 37

CANCER

21 JUNE – 21 JULY It could be a week in which relationsh­ips feel like hard work. Whether you and the love of your life can’t reach an understand­ing, you don’t see eye to eye with your boss or you struggle with the attitude of a colleague, relationsh­ip harmony may be difficult to come by. Luckily it’s a passing phase, so ride the tide instead of getting moody. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 51, 24, 42, 3, 26, 30

LEO

22 JULY – 22 AUG As a Leo you’re probably an enthusiast­ic and lively soul. However, you may feel slightly off-key this week. Whether you’ve run out of energy or feel discourage­d from chasing your goals, life may not be on form. This unusual state of affairs should soon be something of the past, so don’t despair. Pay attention to the demands of your body, mind and soul. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 50, 18, 27, 35, 7, 11

VIRGO

23 AUG – 22 SEPT The spotlight falls on the domestic scene, which means it’s time to make house and home a high priority. Whether there are maintenanc­e jobs on your list, a garden to tend to or cupboards and drawers to clean, something should keep you busy. Many hands make light work so rope in the whole family to help with the chores and use a fun outing as incentive. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 12, 45, 47, 19, 8, 43

LIBRA

23 SEPT – 22 OCT With lots happening in your neighbourh­ood, you don’t have to look far for social interactio­n. Whether you want to sign up for creative workshops, courses or classes, attend art exhibition­s, visit craft markets just to browse, attend sporting events or go on local group excursions, mix and mingle and share in the joys of community life. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 26, 4, 49, 14, 38, 29

SCORPIO

23 OCT – 21 NOV It’s a week in which the young ones can empty your pockets. Whether the children have outgrown their clothes, or require project materials or sporting gear, their needs can cause a financial drain. Fortunatel­y Mercury, lord of commerce, moves into your financial horoscope. So keep your eyes peeled for opportunit­ies to make a buck or two. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 52, 11, 34, 40, 25, 2
