YOU (South Africa)

YOUR STARS

- BY PETRA DU PREEZ

SCORPIO 23 OCT – 21 NOV EXPECT A RUSH OF ENERGY AND CONFIDENCE

Your co-ruler, Mars, and the Sun meet up in your sign on the 18th, bestowing you with plenty of energy and confidence, but alternativ­ely also anger and annoyance, depending on your feelings. If you need to tell somebody what’s been bothering you, there’s no better time to get something off your chest. Yet, you also wouldn’t want to damage relationsh­ips, so carefully pick your words and above all, have compassion for all beings.

YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 4, 20, 45, 48, 37, 16

SAGITTARIU­S 22 NOV – 20 DEC

It seems you have no outlet for you anger or frustratio­n, so tread carefully before inviting the inevitable. It’s time to tune in to your compassion, especially regarding a needy family member or an extended family situation which needs to be resolved. There’s some truth in the saying that sharing is caring, so show your generosity. You’ll be your old self once the Sun moves into your sign on the 22nd. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 3, 33, 38, 45, 36, 16

CAPRICORN 21 DEC – 20 JAN

You may be butting heads with friends around the 18th, especially if you’re fed up with someone’s obnoxious behaviour. Assert yourself, share your views and make recommenda­tions to this person. Once you’re being taken seriously, tone down the level of sharpness and show that you really do care. A quiet phase starts on the 22nd, so use the time to recharge your batteries. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 8, 15, 31, 32, 29, 10

AQUARIUS 21 JAN – 18 FEB

This is an important week for you at work, so assert yourself in order to defend your territory. A competitor has thrown down the gauntlet and is challengin­g you either for your position or your promotion. It all depends on how much it means to you so let your response reflect what you value. For you it’s about integrity and loyalty. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 49, 24, 11, 3, 12, 46

PISCES 19 FEB – 20 MARCH

This isn’t the best week to get involved with any legal wrangles, especially if you have a tendency to lose your cool. Nobody wants to make a spectacle of themselves. If you wish to make your point do so cleverly. You have a reputation to protect and as from the 22nd, this features more prominentl­y at work. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 10, 17, 30, 43, 29, 14

ARIES 21 MARCH – 19 APRIL

You’re full of vitality and drive this week when your ruler, Mars, joins the bringer of life, the Sun, on the 18th. You’re only limited by your imaginatio­n, so let your fantasy tell you more about your wishes and desires. The other side of the coin may present itself as you being hardnosed or offensive, but there’s no excuse for bad behaviour. Life becomes smoother for you after the 22nd.

YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 5, 11, 39, 43, 38, 7

TAURUS 20 APRIL – 20 MAY

The gloves come off this week and all the pent-up emotions, frustratio­ns and hurt feelings between yourself and your partner may bubble over. A good, clean argument may clear the air, but throwing insults around is too destructiv­e. Pick your fight carefully and keep damage control in mind. After the 22nd, the dark cloud will lift, and a more optimistic mood will prevail. YOUR LUCKY NUMBER 26, 42, 5, 15, 43, 27

GEMINI 21 MAY – 20 JUNE

It’s not the easiest week to get along with your colleagues, but make sure your tendency to tease people doesn’t get interprete­d as provocatio­n. Disagreeme­nts are rife, and frustratio­n can boil over into arguments, which is neither constructi­ve nor positive. Use your humour to let people take themselves less seriously.

YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 4, 12, 27, 35, 18, 8

CANCER 21 JUNE – 21 JULY

You can’t seem to get enough fun and enjoyment this week and there’s no reason not to. You’re a gentle soul, so don’t be too harsh on the little ones, especially the naughty ones. If you’re in a mood for a gamble, remind yourself to risk only that which you’re prepared to lose. It seems you’re after the thrill but it might be time to think of other ways to get it.

YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 8, 20, 44, 48, 22, 12

LEO 22 JULY – 22 AUG

Mars, the planet of anger and aggression, meets up with your ruling planet, the Sun, on the 18th, potentiall­y revealing people’s not-sonice side. You may be easy to provoke, to get angry or to behave in a way that’s unlike your dignified self. This all happens within the home and family, and you really don’t want to get involved in a family fight. Try to find a way out of the mess.

YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 15, 27, 38, 5, 32, 21

VIRGO 23 AUG – 22 SEPT

You’re don’t feel like mincing your words, but before you blast away and ruin relationsh­ips, sit down and write down everything you want to say. That way you can sleep on the matter, reread your words the next day and adjust whatever is necessary. Words can sometimes do more damage than was intended, so try to find your compassion. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 9, 28, 39, 45, 33, 17

LIBRA 23 SEPT – 22 OCT

It seems your partner has run out of patience to deal with a drawn-out money saga . It’s best you access your negotiatin­g tactics to calm him or her down before they lose the plot. You’re a master at persuading people to be reasonable, so now is the time to show them what you’ve got. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 7, 21, 32, 36, 25, 8
