YOU (South Africa)

YOUR STARS

- By PETRA DU PREEZ

CAPRICORN

21 DEC – 20 JAN Your personal year is drawing to an end, which makes it a good week in which to withdraw from the rat race, shun the social scene and spend time in contemplat­ion. Pat yourself on the back for your achievemen­ts over the past year and also mourn your losses. It may be worth taking note of any self-sabotaging behaviours which blocked your progress. You should identify these habits with the intent of leaving all your obstacles behind. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 48, 18, 36, 8, 24, 46

AQUARIUS

21 JAN – 18 FEB You’re an independen­t and self-willed soul, but this week it can be somewhat of a hindrance. Who you know could be more important than what you know, so cutting yourself off from others might mean missed opportunit­ies. There’s strength in numbers, especially if you’re campaignin­g for a cause, so join a group or support an associatio­n. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 33, 6, 5, 37, 51, 23

PISCES

19 FEB – 20 MARCH With the Sun’s yearly visit to your profession­al horoscope drawing to an end, it’s a week in which to pull out all the stops in terms of advancing your career. Even if you’re not overly ambitious, don’t let this opportunit­y slip through your fingers. Whatever vision you have for your role in the public arena, put in the time and effort to achieve it. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 51, 48, 7, 25, 9, 38

ARIES

21 MARCH – 19 APRIL It’s a week in which to expand your horizons. This could be right up the alley of an Aries with a liking for all things new. You could opt for studying a new subject to gain general knowledge, or you could travel to foreign places to broaden your worldview. Depending on your budget, you might need to get ready to pack your bags. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 23, 5, 28, 14, 52, 15

TAURUS

20 APRIL – 20 MAY Focus on what’s shared between you and your partner, also that which reaches beyond your joint financial resources. Quality time together is what’s needed, whether you want to discuss future plans, go out for a culinary treat or make practical arrangemen­ts about sharing domestic duties. Putting effort into your relationsh­ip is a good investment. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 28, 6, 11, 40, 34, 50

GEMINI

21 MAY – 20 JUNE Relationsh­ips are currently amplified, which makes things tricky for a Gemini who likes to keep things light and breezy. Whether you’re on the receiving end of manipulati­on, have to cope with outbursts of jealousy or get drawn into power games, things could get stormy. Avoiding the pitfalls could be challengin­g, but fortunatel­y it’s a passing phase. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 11, 34, 42, 17, 2, 45

CANCER

21 JUNE – 21 JULY You probably often throw yourself into the role of caregiver, mother and nurturer. But it’s a week in which you should make your own health your highest priority. Try to meet the needs your body, mind and soul require for optimal wellbeing. This might mean making changes to your diet, adjusting your exercise regime or taking time out to rest. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 40, 33, 26, 19, 12, 3

LEO

22 JULY – 22 AUG This week should revolve around the young ones, whether they’re your own children or the kids in the neighbourh­ood. Playing games with them or taking them on an outing shouldn’t be a tall order for a fun-loving Leo. Motivate and inspire them to take up healthy hobbies and develop their creative side. Lead by example. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 50, 7, 13, 47, 16, 29

VIRGO

23 AUG – 22 SEPT Home is currently where your heart is, which makes for a week in which to enjoy hours spent relaxing at home. Rather than endlessly spitting and polishing, try to spend quality time with your family. Get the relatives together for a meal or a garden party. To lower the stress levels, be practical and ask everyone for a culinary contributi­on towards the event. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 52, 3, 41, 31, 10, 22

LIBRA

23 SEPT – 22 OCT It’s all in the mind this week, so use your mental powers. Mantras and affirmatio­ns may be useful if you want to get out of procrastin­ation and into action, or be assertive and stand up for your rights. It’s a great time in which to give your braincells a workout, so you might want to enrol on a study course, do word puzzles or research a topic of interest. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 12, 42, 27, 4, 30, 49

SCORPIO

23 OCT – 21 NOV Relationsh­ips on all levels could be turbulent this week, with sibling rivalry being particular­ly challengin­g. You might have to deal with ill feelings from a brother or sister. Manipulati­on and jealousy may rock the love boat and power games in your profession­al life could spoil the day. You’re a strong Scorpio, but tread gently to avoid tricky predicamen­ts. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 46, 4, 20, 32, 35, 1
