Your Stars

YOUR CHART

Sheila Muller April 12 1959 Cape Town, 20h00 Sun sign: Aries Moon sign: Gemini Rising sign: Scorpio

Your life is complex but if you have the courage to take advantage of the opportunities you’re being given, it will turn out well. Your word for the month is “surrender” — as in trust yourself to make good decisions and go with your instincts. The career is taking a turn, so if you have the chance to start something of your own, grab it. Success lies around the next corner, if you’re willing to take a few risks. The love life is a bit troublesome, but you do like excitement. Make a decision to give out whatever it is that you want to get. Forgiveness and gratitude are an essential part of the deal. Try. You’ll be amazed at the results.

TAURUS (Apr 20 – May 20)

The universe is between eclipses, gathering its strengths and smoothing rough edges. What does this mean for you? Your personal power has never been greater. The snag is, you haven’t explored the difference between constructive and destructive power. Start with your dreams. This is a difficult month but if you use this week to redirect your plans, you’ll have all the help you need. Courage is all it takes.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)

Making your presence felt is what success is about for you now. Make sure to align yourself with those whose ethics complement yours. Promise only what you can deliver. If you over-obligate your time, your reputation could take a knock. Remember, you have many wonderful friends. Ask them to help you. There’ll be plenty of goodies to go around. Trust yourself to make the best choices.

CANCER (June 21 – Jul 22)

You’ll have to shelve the personal plans for a while: your career needs you. Better news is that you’re about to move into one of the best career periods of the past two years — one that will take you back to where you once were. Make sure your health is up to it. You’ll be in great demand, and you’ll hardly have a moment to yourself. So eat your greens and get some rest. Look good while you’re racing to the top.

LEO (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

With this planetary shift, it’s your attitude that will get you through the door. Dust off that famous charm and lay it on with a trowel. Whether it means a presentation, a conference, or a couple of trips, the costs and delights will be well covered. If you ask nicely, you might even get some added extras. Even so, avoid rushing in before you’re ready. Spend some time on the boring stuff, you’ll find it’s more intriguing than you expected.

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You still have time to work out the details before the problems hit you. But hurry. Anything legal or contractual is bound to run into snags so make sure you know in advance what you have to deal with. While you’re at it, watch the folks at work. There’s a restlessness among the workers, so ask for feedback. Watch your spending. Investment offers look somewhat better than they actually are.

LIBRA (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your love planet travels in reverse until mid-May so don’t be surprised if your relationship starts to totter. Instead of getting hysterical and calling the lawyers, think about nurturing whatever romance you have left, and bide your time. Job seekers are also having a difficult time. Delays seem to be blocking your path. Uncertainty and confusion are an essential part of growth. Try seeing them as part of a bigger adventure.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

This month brings two eclipses to haunt your dreams and change your understanding of the world. Even so, this week is being kinder than the last, leaving you edgy. Don’t worry. It’ll pass. So while that’s going on, focus on your sudden financial genius and the new discovery that you’re very good at what you do. If that’s not enough, the lover is bringing in extras too. Accept every offer as a gift from the universe.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Just when you thought you’d run out of options, up springs a new one. It could come from a business partner or a relative; someone wants to help you. Don’t rush into anything, no matter how grateful you feel. In fact, don’t sign anything until later next month. Use this time to investigate your options. You’re stronger than you think. Decide what you’d like for yourself before agreeing to something someone else wants.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Suddenly you love your work — or will soon. In other words, if you’re not already sitting in the chair of your choice, put on your tap shoes and start dancing. The spotlight is on you, and people around you are wanting to be impressed. Watch for changes in mood or action. Something big is about to happen. Make sure you’re in front of the queue when it does. Invite your friends to join you when you get there.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Still hesitating about the love life? Decisions have never been your thing. But if you don’t make your own choices, someone will make them for you. So, yes or no. That’s all it takes. Then move on. At work, your co-operative manner is an advantage. Everyone’s helping, the job’s being done and you’re being recognised. Treat yourself as you would a treasured friend and you’ll begin to understand what’s needed.

PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Last week’s eclipse zapped your body, personality, image and health. Next week’s messes with your mind. If everyone keeps telling you how much you’ve changed, don’t be surprised. Try to concentrate on good changes instead of panicky ones. The bottom line is that success is slowly becoming a way of life. And to cope with that, you’ll need to adapt your lifestyle — not to mention yourself.

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It’s imperative that you find a useful outlet for those competitive urges before you lose your cool. Why not play some tennis or do an aerobics session. You’re going to need some frustration relievers to handle the conservative element at work. For some reason all that enthusiasm about your new ideas has dissipated into a well of fear. Hang in. You’ll get what you want soon enough. Just make sure you know what that is.
