YOU (South Africa)

YOUR STARS

- BY PETRA DU PREEZ

SCORPIO

23 OCT – 21 NOV

As your birthday approaches, it’s time to start winding down. Self-reflection and introspect­ion are needed if you want to end this year off on a high note. It seems you need to have a talk with your partner or your best friend. As always, their valuable input and feedback will make a significan­t impact.

YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 4, 30, 42, 49, 39, 6

SAGITTARIU­S

22 NOV – 20 DEC

Shift your focus onto networking and keep in mind that it’s not about what you know but who you know. Whether you work for yourself or an organisati­on, building a good network of contacts is good for any enterprise. You can even socialise with these contacts, but remember not to overstep the boundaries.

CAPRICORN

21 DEC – 20 JAN

Even though you’re not used to being the focus of attention, it’s time to let your light shine brighter in your career. This can only benefit you. Whether or not your work involves ties abroad, anything related to foreign countries or internatio­nal connection­s can work in your favour. If a chance of travel comes up, make sure you make the most of it.

AQUARIUS

21 JAN – 18 FEB

Aquarians are often referred to as citizens of the world, because they’re concerned for their community and humanity in general. This tendency now comes to the fore, so the script is clear: get more involved and be more proactive. Whether you donate money, help with fundraisin­g or soup kitchens, empowering people is indeed something that’s close to your heart.

PISCES

19 FEB – 20 MARCH

Your co-ruler, Jupiter, is still in retrograde motion, but the scene is set for some good conversati­ons as communicat­ion seems to be flowing. Your partner is keen to participat­e, so this might be a good time to touch on those tricky topics. A sibling or neighbour has your back when it comes to providing support. Now is also a good time to reply to those overdue emails.

ARIES

21 MARCH – 19 APRIL

As the Sun moves into your opposite sign of Libra, this equinox time is indeed an indicator of seasonal change. Incorporat­e this metaphor into your life and see where you can springclea­n your life physically and symbolical­ly. There’s an emphasis on getting your finances in order, so clear your desk, file your papers, and deal with your taxes.

TAURUS

20 APRIL – 20 MAY

If you haven’t started making travel plans, now would be a good time to investigat­e your options. Expansive Jupiter is associated with travel and currently in your sign, so now is the time to start making plans. It’s best to include your family in these arrangemen­ts and take their input and preference­s into account as well. YOUR LUCKY NUMBER

GEMINI

21 MAY – 20 JUNE

With the Sun settling into a compatible air sign this week, you’re in the mood to explore and express your creative side. This may include some form of words – whether written, spoken or in print. Fortunate then that your ruler, Mercury, is being uplifted by larger-than-life Jupiter, bringing with it not only confidence but a variety of opportunit­ies. The sky is currently your limit, so why not go for it?

CANCER

21 JUNE – 21 JULY

This time of the year is usually the best time for you to focus on your home, especially in terms of springclea­ning and gardening. In addition to these, you appear to be Ms or Mr Popular with plenty of invitation­s and functions to attend. Even though it could become a bit of a balancing act, you’ll be able to manage both your social life and your home life in order to have the most enjoyable time.

YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 3, 6, 19, 36, 7, 4

LEO

22 JULY – 22 AUG

There’s an opportunit­y to enhance your career prospects this week, either through sheer hard work or by promoting yourself or your skills to enhance your reputation. Either way, this is an appropriat­e time to be the pushy one. Sense your way around discussion­s, especially if you think money and remunerati­on might come up. Don’t be shy to ask for what you think you’re worth, but also be sensible about it.

YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 25, 37, 46, 48, 40, 26

VIRGO

23 AUG – 22 SEPT Harmony prevails in your life, especially considerin­g the harmonious aspect between your ruling planet, Mercury, currently in your sign, and the great benefit in the sky, Jupiter. Be on the lookout for freebies and gifts which you may not have recognised or appreciate­d. To have or to acquire knowledge is one of life’s noble pursuits, so it’s time to seriously consider adding to your library.
