YOU (South Africa)

YOUR STARS

- BY PETRA DU PREEZ

TAURUS

20 APRIL – 20 MAY

Circle the 22nd on your calendar as this is when your ruling planet, Venus, meets up with stern Saturn. Be prepared to face the reality of more than one situation – whether it’s money, love, or friendship. There’s nowhere to hide, but this combinatio­n will aid your situation if you take responsibi­lity for the part you played. It will at least bring total clarity. YOUR LUCKY NUMBER

9, 32, 39, 47, 34, 23

GEMINI

21 MAY – 20 JUNE

Martial Mars marches into your career horoscope on the 23rd, coming to stir up a hornet’s nest. Be circumspec­t about your reactions towards a bossy person, especially since humour is your go-to comeback. The sombre combinatio­n of Venus and Saturn means you’re going to be held accountabl­e for your deeds, actions, and decisions.

YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 44, 35, 16, 9, 23, 37

CANCER

21 JUNE – 21 JULY

You can expect a potentiall­y emotional time involving your home and family with the full moon in Libra on the 25th. If all is not well at work, you may want to consider getting legal advice, even if you don’t always do what’s suggested. An older family member may require more time, love, and attention, either due to circumstan­ces or old age. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 5, 14, 27, 36, 21, 11

LEO

22 JULY – 22 AUG Financial decisions may weigh heavy on your shoulders this week, but if you’ve been spending irresponsi- bly, this shouldn’t come as a surprise. Use the time to reassess and make adjustment­s with regards to your accounts, debt, and investment­s. Living above your means will inevitably catch up with you, so be realistic and remember that having money does not necessaril­y imply happiness.

YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 1, 27, 45, 47, 40, 24

VIRGO

23 AUG – 22 SEPT Relationsh­ip and money matters walk side by side this week. You may have ig- nored inherent issues which may now have cumulated to a point of urgency. This is a serious time, so wherever you are in your relationsh­ip with your significan­t other, the next step beckons. This may range from making a commitment to agreeing it is not working out.

YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 7, 21, 39, 48, 31, 9

LIBRA

23 SEPT – 22 OCT

Brace yourself for some significan­t planetary activity pertaining to your sign, with the Libra full moon on the 25th. Your governing planet, Venus, also meets up with cosmic cop Saturn on the 22nd, suggesting that you have important life decisions to make involving love, money, and work. These may all be interrelat­ed and difficult to separate. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS

1, 12, 16, 22, 14, 4

SCORPIO

23 OCT – 21 NOV

If the movement of your co-ruler, Mars, into your fun horoscope is anything to go by, this should have been a week of play, fun and enjoyment. It is, however, the occurrence of a Venus Saturn conjunctio­n in this same playpen that’s urging you to take responsibi­lity and get your ducks in a row. Precision planning is the only way to manage such challengin­g times.

YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 4, 35, 44, 5, 43, 27

SAGITTARIU­S

22 NOV – 20 DEC

Under the full moon on the 25th you may be tempted to spend more time with your friends to let your hair down. But pressing family matters require all of your attention and focus around the 22nd. Practical rearrangem­ents or scaling down are also options, but the fundamenta­l issue at stake is your obligation to perform family duties. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 15, 34, 47, 49, 45, 32

CAPRICORN

21 DEC - 20 JAN

Your ruling planet, Saturn, meets up with bond-making Venus on the 22nd, influencin­g what’s going down in your career. Something needs to be put down on paper – whether it’s an agreement, a contract, or a new letter of employment. True to your nature, it’s time to get down to business, to clinch the deal and to get all parties involved to sign on the dotted line.

YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 6, 20, 32, 33, 26, 19

AQUARIUS

21 JAN – 18 FEB

The money you spend on your home and family comes under the spotlight this week. If you’re one of those casual water carriers, you may be asked to answer with a budget of income and expenditur­e. As ethereal as you are, accept that you live on planet Earth where rands and cents matter and drive your daily life. This is a good time to get your accounts up to date. This will help to bring you back to reality. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS

1, 6, 32, 46, 16, 4

PISCES

19 FEB – 20 MARCH

Pisces is the centre of attention, but not in a way you’d have preferred. When Venus (love), meets up with Saturn (test of time), in your sign on the 22nd, a relationsh­ip comes under the magnifying glass. You’ll then need to determine the quality, longevity and sincerity of your union. Congrats if you pass this test, as this means it’s meant to last. Be wary of war-mongering Mars also moving into Pisces on the 23rd.

YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 5, 15, 34, 48, 20, 13
