Your Stars

Lucas Mguda September 28 1977 Lady Frere, 20h00 Sun sign: Libra Moon sign: Aries Rising Sign: Aries You are determined to lead, win, succeed and triumph. These are all wonderful goals — but if anything less than best is considered failure, you’re in for a miserable time. Your standards for yourself are too high. Give yourself a break. Allow yourself the occasional moment off, and learn to take orders. You’re not the only one who likes to be in charge. You’re rethinking your life, wondering where to go next. If you can, hold off on the big decisions until October when your success cycle kicks in. Love will always be difficult. You just have to keep talking — and listening. Eventually you’ll find ways to connect. But don’t ever imagine that you’re easy to live with. Interesting, yes. Easy, never. TAURUS (Apr 20 – May 20) With the sun beaming down on your rosy cheeks, even the most tedious problems seem solvable. Not that there are necessarily any tedious problems. But since that active mind has shifted into overdrive, there’ll soon be new options and, with them, new problems. You’re disciplined and careful enough to sift through the dross. The question to ask yourself — about everything — is, what will make me happiest? GEMINI (May 21 – June 20) Frustration is not an option. The universe is doing its best to slow you down, and get you thinking. Deep thoughts and spiritual meanderings are part of your new journey. You’ve been racing about like a loon for too long and this week is about taking another look at the internal workings. Take time off. Get away from anyone demanding more than you have to give. Rethink your plan. No pressure. Try to enjoy the process. CANCER (June 21 – Jul 22) If no one wants to join you in your new venture, sail off on your own. You’ll soon find new playmates and helpmates. This week’s peculiar energies are teaching you independence and the courage to believe in yourself. You need no one’s approval but your own. But you must make your home safe. Sprinkle salt, light candles, place crystals at the entrances. Believe in your heart that you’re protected. Because you are. LEO (Jul 23 – Aug 22) The fact is, while you’re doing so well, someone close by, isn’t. Share your good fortune so jealousy doesn’t become part of your day. The moment you allow yourself to be infected by other people’s negative garbage, is the moment your life will begin tottering. This week’s energies want you strong and sure of your direction. Asking for advice tells the universe you don’t trust yourself. Take courage and seize the moment. VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sep 22) Love is interesting, if you can avoid the potholes along the road. The point is, you have yet to decide what you want — so the many options are bumping into each other. No need to choose yet, as long as you let everyone know what’s going on. Meanwhile, watch for financial surprises and peculiar offers. Frankly, you won’t know what you want until next month. Treat this time as an interesting adventure. LIBRA (Sep 23 – Oct 22) The career is calling, but you’re more interested in family and friends. Instead of choosing, try for balance. The problem is that your head is in the process of rethinking all beliefs, including the value of career. All very well, but there are still bills to be paid. Stay where you are, at least until the end of the month, and use every spare moment to decide what you really want. No point sabotaging the bits that are going well. SCORPIO (Oct 23 – Nov 21) It’s a weird week, and you’re wondering where the excitement has gone. Bear in mind that excitement covers a multitude of lunacies, so enjoy the quiet moments. In fact, you’ll probably find you’re sleeping twice as much as usual, and hiding from the world in general. That’s fine, as long as you keep your appointments. But while you’re in silent mode, write a list of desires. Adventure returns next month — in all its forms. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21) Unexpected changes in your love life stir up all sorts of emotions you’d forgotten you had. So add some new dimensions to your passions by sharing your philosophies or travel experiences with someone you love. Or like a lot. Meanwhile, all the changes in your life could leave you feeling off balance. Try some breathing exercises to keep you calm. By next week you’ll begin to understand what’s really going on. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19) Exciting developments at work are stimulating that optimistic streak of yours (it’s in there somewhere). Which is just what you need to get the ball rolling past the minor obstacles determined to trip you up. Watch your health closely. Stress can steal your energy, leaving you too exhausted for the job at hand. So eat your greens. Get some sleep. And remind yourself how fabulous you are. You seem to have forgotten. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18) Do you feel as though the universe is picking on you? Don’t take it personally. The persecution will be brief, and you’ll recover quickly. So here’s what you have to look forward to: the energy is down; your favourite project is beset with problems and delays; your old support systems seem to have disappeared. Hang in. It will pass. Next week, you’ll shift back into top gear. Meanwhile, indulge — and be selfish. PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20) Everybody knows playing host makes you nervous, but that doesn’t mean you’re going to be let off the hook. And this week is your week. Don’t panic. Parties are supposed to be fun. And you need to say thank you to the numerous friends who have helped you out and who will continue to do so. Anyway, if you really can’t cope with the cooking, call in the caterers. That hermit routine is getting old. ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 19) Believe in love at first sight? Excellent, as long as you keep the numbers below double digits. The love planets are swarming around you, offering passion, romance and infidelity. Do your best to behave. Avoid big decisions until May 20th. Money and business opportunities are around. Grab a couple before they disappear. Examine the details before making up your mind. Get help. You’re not so disciplined now.
