Your Stars
MICHAH BOER November 24 1986 Cape Town 07h45 Sun sign: Sagittarius Moon sign: Leo Rising sign: Sagittarius
You’ve been through a rough time and it’s not over yet. Try viewing this as a chance to remake your life. Start with your values. What is important to you? What would you like to carry with you into your next life? Start honing those skills and developing new ones. Your career path is still being fine-tuned — and your finances along with it. And sure, you’ve never felt more alone or misunderstood. But that’s precisely as it should be. Your focus now is on independent strength and wish fulfilment. Who are you really?
What do you really want? Those questions can’t be answered by anyone but you. Next year is for relationships. This one is for you. Relish the alone time you’ll be truly missing by this time next year.
CANCER June 21 - Jul 22
It’s an emotional time. We’ve had the solstice, shifting the seasons along with your centre of gravity. Now we’ve got a full moon heaping garbage on your relationships. Perhaps “garbage” is overstating it. The plan is to unearth the good stuff, but that tends to mean wading through the other stuff first. Then the passion planet takes a left turn on Tuesday, leaving frustration.
LEO Jul 23 - Aug 22
No one could ever accuse you of being boring, But since melodrama is your favourite thing, your best option would be to stick on a false moustache and start dancing. If anyone complains, blame full-moon madness. That way you won’t have to explain your desire to toss your lover, storm out of your job, and create chaos. However, if you have a talent, now’s a chance to capitalise.
VIRGO Aug 23 - Sep 22
As if you didn’t have enough demands on your time — family, friends and lovers are all clamouring for attention. Give them some. You know how lost you feel without them, even if they do drive you crazy. Hang on to your wallet. Someone’s trying to take it from you. Either that or a sudden expense could knock you sideways. Not to worry. Damage control is all that’s needed.
LIBRA Sep 23 - Oct 22
If you’ve got anything important to say, do it now. Because, for once, you won’t allow yourself to be fobbed off by emotional blackmail, guilt trips or sob stories. It’s truth time. And if you’re prepared to risk confrontation or even having someone dislike you, you’ll find yourself in a happier place by the weekend. Watch the money though. The signals are confusing.
SCORPIO Oct 23 - Nov 21
Dogmatic ranting isn’t really you. So what’s going on here? Are you joining in for the fun? Are you secretly in love with the leader of the cause? Or are you simply looking for somewhere to dump your frustrations? Whatever it is, there’s no point pursuing something that has nothing to do with you. Why not find something useful to do with all that energy. There’s passion in your heart.
SAGITTARIUS Nov 22 - Dec 21
You know what a big mouth you have. And stomping all over difficult toes is never a good idea, especially when charm could have done the job just as well. If the damage is already done, try for roses all round. If necessary, follow up with a bit of grovelling; even blatant begging. The alternative is that you’ll have to deal with opposition to your progress. Humble pie tastes better.
CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20
Needing a career change? Convinced everything you do is worthless? Interestingly, these are positive thoughts. This is the planets’ way of telling you you’ve passed the latest tests and are ready for greater things. Use the time to sort out details and prepare for something that will render you unrecognisable even to yourself. Thursday’s full moon will provide the perfect opportunity.
AQUARIUS Jan 20 - Feb 18
The bad news is you’ll be working your butt off all week. The much better news is that the week is so full of marvellous new opportunities, you’ll hardly know whose call to return first. One thing: get some rest. As it is, you’ll probably be so exhausted you’ll lose track of what you’re saying — and will spend most of next week apologising for that peculiar need to tell the absolute truth.
PISCES Feb 19 - Mar 20
Take a break, before the stress frazzles your wiring. This is the week to read that book and gaze mindlessly at old movies you pretend not to like. This is the week to like yourself just the way you are. And so you should. Your career is plodding along in its own sweet way. There’s money where it’s most needed. And as soon as you believe you’re deserving enough, your wishes will be granted. Say thanks. And get some sleep.
ARIES Mar 21 - April 19
These bizarre new energies are literally explosive. Avoid potential danger this week, even staying home at night if you can. Or get someone else to drive you. Don’t fight with the neighbours either. They’re in the mood to fight back. Relationships will be on full alert. Tiptoe if you’d rather not subject yourself to ranting abuse. Then, when you’ve had enough, take a bath.
TAURUS Apr 20 - May 20
Reliable as you usually are, promises won’t mean very much. So stick to short-term goals. This is one of those times you’ll look back on — and wonder what the heck really happened. There’s a shift here — a transformation to a new you in an entirely new life. Subtle, yes, but more powerful than anything you’ve ever known. Wait and see. Give yourself permission to play around a little.
GEMINI May 21 - June 20
Relationships are tottering as your charm and tact temporarily desert you. Not that it matters. You’ll have the chances you need to fix your mistakes later. For now, concentrate on an unnerving mobile career. People and planets are there to help — but only if you deliver on promises. Agree to everything — but ask for time to think. And lay off the coffee. Sanity is a precious — and rare — commodity now.
