YOU (South Africa)

YOUR STARS

- BY PETRA DU PREEZ

LEO

22 JULY – 22 AUG You’re probably right if you think a colleague has been conniving behind your back. Try not to act prematurel­y, but once combative Mars enters your career horoscope on the 5th, you’ll know when the time is right to defend your position. Something related to your finances is shrouded in mystery, so it’s best to sit tight and to wait until the chaff is separated from the wheat before you act. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 5, 30, 41, 42, 34, 17

VIRGO

23 AUG – 22 SEPT No matter how you try and pin down your partner to either commit to a financial matter or to put pen to paper on an important document, they remain evasive. You like to cross your t’s and dot your i’s, so it’ll probably feel uncomforta­ble to be in this state of limbo. But there’s no point in trying underhand tactics to get them to comply. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 7, 19, 49, 22, 39, 15

LIBRA

23 SEPT – 22 OCT If your partner is dealing with some complex stuff at the moment, you need to be patient and let them work through it in their own way. This doesn’t mean that you need to become a doormat, so be wise and know when it’s time to step back. At work, your curiosity may be tickled pink by either a new person or a proposal that has great potential. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 18, 20, 30, 49, 27, 19

SCORPIO

23 OCT – 21 NOV Expect fireworks when your two ruling planets, Mars and Pluto, square up to each other this week. This may not necessaril­y lead to an event but could describe an inner situation which you may need to resolve within yourself. In times like this, it’s best for you to spend time by yourself. Even though you don’t like oversharin­g, now’s the time to lean on that close friend with a compassion­ate ear. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 7, 30, 40, 43, 33, 22

SAGITTARIU­S

22 NOV – 20 DEC It seems as if the boot is on the other foot this week. Whereas you’re usually the one to duck and dive around commitment, your partner is now following that tack. Try to see yourself in their situation as it’ll give you more insight for next time. For the time being, it’s best to do nothing and to go with the flow of life. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 7, 22, 35, 36, 30, 10

CAPRICORN

21 DEC – 20 JAN A family situation could reach epic proportion­s this week if you don’t contain it. So find ways to build a dam wall around a potentiall­y explosive matter. If painful memories need to surface, let it happen in a safe and contained manner. It’s important for tempers not to flare up or for accusation­s to fly. Kindness is the way to go, so keep your words soft and compassion­ate. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 6, 23, 41, 15, 32, 8

AQUARIUS

21 JAN – 18 FEB Sibling rivalry may take the tension amongst you to new levels. It’s not in your nature to be vengeful, so if you find yourself on the receiving end of it, rather distance yourself from it. As from the 5th, you might be entertaini­ng a temporary workfrom-home situation which, although you might find it confining, will make for a welcome change from the everyday humdrum. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 1, 17, 25, 49, 24, 5

PISCES ARIES

21 MARCH – 19 APRIL With motivating Mars finally leaving your sign, you’ll realise the need for one more final push to get maximum exposure for a work project. Time this for around the 2nd, when your energy is at its most forceful. But be wary of perhaps coming across too strong – there’s a fine line between being assertive and being aggressive. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 10, 16, 31, 41, 21, 12

TAURUS

20 APRIL – 20 MAY Menacing Mars marches into your sign on the 5th, thereby ushering in a change in the next few weeks. Expect to be more motivated and driven, but also more impatient and irritable. This could lead to more arguments between your and your partner, which will at least clear the air. Make sure arguments are followed up by passionate sessions of making up. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 2, 17, 24, 47, 22, 9

GEMINI

21 MAY – 20 JUNE You have the gift of the gab, but there’s a fine line between telling the truth and embellishi­ng tales of bravery. As a creative person, you can indeed make up stories, but to what end are you fabricatin­g things? You don’t want to end up with egg on your face. A rival at work is taking something you said in jest much more seriously, so be on the lookout for a revenge attack. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 4, 26, 42, 49, 32, 11
