Your Stars

Ebrahim Bhyat August 30 1984 Johannesburg, 02h00 Sun sign: Virgo Moon sign: Libra Rising sign: Gemini You’ve been through the worst, and the sun is finally starting to peek through the clouds. Now for your next lesson. Since you’re always so determined to control every note, the universe is taking away your baton. There are amazing opportunities to begin again — assuming you want to. The fact that you’re so focused on saving the world means you tend to forget you’re part of that same world, and could use some saving too. First actually. Your career is going through massive changes and you’re wondering how to keep track. Start writing it all down. You have a great gift, combined with a need to understand. The truth is your life will never be easy but it will always be fascinating. And after your birthday, you’ll never need to travel alone again. PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20) It’s our Autumn equinox today and the last day the sun is in Pisces. There’s great power out there, and it’s yours to harness. Start gathering your rewards now. Expect abundance. Remind yourself how much you deserve and behave as though the goodies have already arrived. The year starts today. Don’t waste a moment wishing your life was better. As of now, it is. Open the doors, and your heart. ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 19) The equinox wants you to reap rewards. Wednesday’s eclipse wants you to redefine your love life. Are you expecting too much? Are you afraid to move on? Are you too paralysed to take the next step? No more of that. You’re a pioneer by nature. Make new plans. Take a different step. Today is the day. If you believe you’re worthy of something better, new opportunities are assured. Take a leap. TAURUS (Apr 20 – May 20) Your Wednesday eclipse is about health and work. Since this is generally a fabulous month for you, anything you try is bound to bring something spectacular into your life. The only requirement is that you must be willing to change. That sounds a lot easier than it feels. But if you start your week with a new look, or a different stride, the universe will pick up the clues and help you along. GEMINI (May 21 – June 20) Your planets are on the move and they’re dragging you with them. As long as you can keep your engines revving, you’ll race through every obstacle towards the prize. Focus on the career, which is due for a shake-up. Just because the bosses seem to be falling over, doesn’t mean the news is bad for you. Quite the reverse. Any kind of change brings opportunity. Jump in and fill the gaps. CANCER (June 21 – Jul 22) Been woken up by nightmares? Fret not. Wednesday’s eclipse is stirring up forgotten emotional dramas — and hopefully sorting them out. You need to take a look at your sense of self. Who are you really? A six-month process has just begun as you rethink your personal identity and the way you want others to see you. Start with the easy stuff. Most importantly, find new ways to have fun. LEO (Jul 23 – Aug 22) A special bond is developing between you and anyone you’re cheesed off with. In short, there’s a window of opportunity here. Grab it if there’s anyone you need to forgive. That aside, work is top of your list. There’s plenty to keep you interested and passionate. After the eclipse, relationships could collapse — but only if you let them. And for the rest, don’t ever give up. VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sep 22) Ambitions are reined in as the planets rethink and the mood turns inwards. Emotional harmony is your challenge, with patience as key. After the eclipse, opportunities for change keep you busy. Don’t force it though. The universe keeps its own hours. Love yourself first and love will feel better. Money is fine and the career is interesting. Notice the daily miracles. They’re everywhere. LIBRA (Sep 23 – Oct 22) Wednesday’s lunar eclipse is in your sign and it’s warming your heart. What do you need more of: love, self-esteem, success? List your desires and let the universe take over. Look in the mirror. If something should be changed, do it now. If someone is saying ugly things about you, ask yourself why and heal yourself in that area. The mean ones are our greatest teachers. It’s a life-changing week for you. SCORPIO (Oct 23 – Nov 21) Are you happy with your career choices? Do you lie awake wishing the universe would send you some excitement? Well, this is your lucky week. The more specific you are about your requirements, the more chance you’ll like the results. If you can’t decide, the universe will throw every option at you until you find what you’re looking for — a lengthy process. Up to you. Make your choices early. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21) The planet of demands is still breathing down your rebellious neck. It’s grown-up time. One option is to panic. The other is to seize your power and use this time to discover your strengths. No more hiding in the shadows. Money’s good enough to get that new project going. Love is interesting enough to keep you hoping. In fact, if you’re looking, love will certainly find you. Speak softly on Friday. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19) Feeling more in control? Excellent. Since discipline and order are happy words for you, you won’t mind that there’s more to come. Everyone’s in love with your methods — and with you — after Wednesday. A lunar eclipse collides with the goddess of love and beauty to shunt you into a different space. Make the most of opportunities and lucky breaks. After that, it all slows down, giving you time to focus. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18) You’re no good with money. The planets have been trying to teach you some discipline and they’ll continue, with today’s equinox offering lessons in abundance-creation. Earnings should increase as unexpected gifts become the norm. Words like independence, courage and passion have become comfortable friends. Even your love life is helping out. This is good stuff. Pay close attention.
