Your Stars
Princess Ramsay September 12 1991 Soweto 14h00 Sun sign: Virgo Moon sign: Scorpio Rising sign: Capricorn Phew! Taking ourselves a tad too seriously, are we? Your message for the year is that happiness — rather than success — is the goal. The fact is, you can’t fail to succeed at whatever makes you happy. Even so, you’re on a mission for change, and no one will be able to penetrate that stubborn heart, no matter how logical the argument. There’s one thing that always holds you back: you want to be in control of every move. Which is tough, because current transformations have very little to do with you. There’s a change of home in the air, together with a delicious new romance. 2018 is your year for financial independence and personal power. For now, concentrate on your heart. It’s a lot more vulnerable than you allow yourself to believe.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)
Mysterious messages and unexpected phone calls take on a strange significance as you add up the signals. Which is fine, as long as you don’t start wrapping tinfoil around your head and hiding in the basement. If you’re looking for guidance, it’ll be there by the boatload. Big career changes are in the offing. Yes? No? There’s no rush. Whoever told you life was a race has never really lived.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)
That powerful need to push down doors and grab the world by its shins is clouding your vision. You need some excitement and, yes, there’s some on the way. No need to spread yourself so thin in the meanwhile. Save some time for family who have a real need for your strength right now. Meanwhile, that interesting new romance may feel a tad restrictive, but don’t leave yet.
AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)
With your career on hold for a while, why not grab a chance of some fun. This is the perfect time for parties, socialising and getting out there for a different view of your world. Make a point of using your fabulous energy on your friends, instead of venting your work frustrations on colleagues. Wednesday’s full moon offers a new perspective on some puzzling problems.
PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
It’s time to overcome that tedious shyness and get yourself out there. The problem with Pisceans is they always have a lot to say, but are too terrified to say it. Examine your own contributions with some detachment — chucking out the useless bits and fine tuning the good stuff. And remind yourself that other people’s opinions have nothing to do with you. Their perceptions are their own.
ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 19)
Financial losses are definitely not what you had in mind. Take your time before making any moves. If you wait for Wednesday’s full moon before doing anything definite, you’ll be able to turn the situation around completely. You might even end up making a fortune. It’s the ego you have to watch. Remember, you had a hand in creating whatever’s happening to you.
TAURUS (Apr 20 – May 20)
If you’re keen to commit, to anything, now would be the perfect time. At least to arrange the details. And if you’re still single, love is waiting around the corner. And if opportunity is your thing, fine-tune your desires so the universe knows what to send. As you know, life seldom happens the way we plan it. So keep going, and whatever you’re looking for will find you.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
The sun is beaming down on your partnerships — business or otherwise. Meanwhile, you might ask yourself how much you really want them to work, and be prepared to make the teeniest of efforts. Yes, you may feel trapped and squashed into a mould, but if you grit your teeth and smile you might find you actually like it in there — once you stop fighting your way out.
CANCER (June 21 – Jul 22)
It’s time to toughen up. That soft crab interior will be tested to the limit as people around you suddenly seem cruel and thoughtless. The truth is, they’re just feeling a little less sensitive to the problems of others, being completely caught up in the pressures of their own lives. Try not to take everything so personally, and work on making yourself less vulnerable and more independent.
LEO (Jul 23 – Aug 22)
Relationships could be taking a temporary dive as unresolved memories invade your present. It’s time to separate the issues. Current relationships are one thing. That ancient baggage you’re still lugging around must be looked at on its own. In fact, if you’re honest, you’ll probably find you’re blaming someone you care about for behaviour that has nothing to do with them.
VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Secret things are going on at work. Secret decisions — nice ones — are being taken. And friends are intervening on your behalf. Don’t take this as a sign to slap your feet on the desk and order a latte. But do keep out of the way until the deed is done. Meanwhile, look busy, even if you have to shuffle papers round the desk. And keep your mind off that exciting new romantic delight.
LIBRA (Sep 23 – Oct 22)
In a gambling mood? Convinced Lady Luck is sitting on your shoulder, smoking a cheroot? And she probably is. But not even she can focus on you all the time. So choose your moments carefully, and check the smile on her face before you throw the dice. The point is, for the foreseeable future you have good fortune on your team. Use Wednesday’s full moon to decide what you want.
SCORPIO (Oct 23 – Nov 21)
You’ve been running around like a mad thing for the past few months and it’s time to catch your breath. While you’re at it, take some time to organise the boring things like servicing the car and paying the bills. This is also a good time to do some writing, should you feel so inclined. Failing that, offer to give a talk or simply express your ideas. Next week, the planets lose the plot.
