Your Stars
Anne-Marie Wearing April 8 1982, Carletonville, 09h15 Sun sign: Aries Moon sign: Libra Rising Sign: Taurus
You have fabulous planets and lucky signs. But you don’t believe you deserve any of it and you’re doing your best to sabotage your good fortune. Enough. You have the energy of the magician; the genius who can make diamonds out of coal. But you’ll need all your courage to make the necessary changes. Friends and relatives are helping in ways you would never have imagined. Be grateful for all of it, and open the doors as you go. There’s only a small part of you that’s terrified of risk. Tune in to that wonderful heart and set it free. You’ll have to work for your money, but you like being in charge of your own finances. Your love life could use some help; start by consciously falling in love with yourself. That way, others can be shown the way.
LIBRA Sep 23 - Oct 22
Balancing acts and careful strategy will get you where you’re going. You’ll need more money, but what’s new about that? The point is, you want people on your side. With the planets as they are, sensitivities are turning into rages, and rages are turning into wars. It’ll take all your patience to keep you sane. You’ll need your friends to get you through the weird patches. Remind yourself not to take any of it personally. It’s cosmic.
SCORPIO Oct 23 - Nov 21
Making promises you have no intention of keeping? Take care, or you’ll start tripping over all the broken hearts you’ve left in your wake. This is the kind of week they’ll stand up and fight back. Focus on your career instead. There’s progress to be made if you’re willing to take charge.
All that money you’ve been waiting for? It’s almost here. Excellent.
SAGITTARIUS Nov 22 - Dec 21
Throwing your weight around? Keep it up. Your efforts are paying off. You’re finally being noticed and appreciated. Which is great, because some fascinating opportunities are on the way. Look at them all, but examine the details with care. You know how careless you are about details. And think about taking advice. Look out for a friend who is offering some. Do your best to listen. You might learn something.
CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20
Take a step back. Your world is moving in slow motion for a reason. You’ve taken on too much and have lost sight of the small stuff. This is a week for success, but there’s no need to kill yourself while you find it. Take a moment for yourself. There are new friends to be made; new adventures to be explored. You’ll find what you’re looking for.
AQUARIUS Jan 20 - Feb 18
Ask yourself: are you the one causing all the drama? Not that you mean to, it’s just that you charge in without checking to see where you’re going. Patience is needed. You’ll be feeling crowded this week so focus on the grand plan. And whenever it all gets too much, go out and have a drink with a buddy. Your personal life is going well; your mind works better when you’ve had a giggle about the absurdity of it all.
PISCES Feb 19 - Mar 20
Everyone’s asking you for help and you’re letting them. Then you end up feeling abused. But the only reason you ended up here is because you hate saying NO. Are you avoiding your own drama? What is it you need to be dealing with? Are you playing victim and then moaning about it. You were born to help but you were not born to be a doormat. Decide how much you want to give and save the rest of your energy for yourself.
ARIES Mar 21 - April 19
Fabulous! You’ve developed real sensitivity without even meaning to. You’re listening and understanding. Good for you. This new sainthood will not go unnoticed. And once you’ve done the listening and supporting bit, you can get your needs heard. There are new relationships around if you want some. Younger people are out there, with newer ideas, ready to change your life. If that’s what you want.
TAURUS Apr 20 - May 20
You’re finally getting used to the unpredictability that’s taken over your life. You’re even starting to relax a little, and maybe even enjoy the process. Sure, your safe little boat has been flipped over but you’re learning to swim. Excellent. Ever heard that expression: fake it till you make it? It’s a great idea. And it works. If you’re carrying too much baggage, put it down. Success is close by.
GEMINI May 21 - June 20
Call everyone you know. Whatever you’re busy with will need all your networking skills to get it off the ground. What people don’t seem to realise about you is that behind that big mouth is a sensitive soul. Remember, people decide whether they like you, irrespective of behaviour. It’s a strange fact. So carry on being your fabulous self, and let your real friends help you get going.
CANCER June 21 - Jul 22
Wishing the hordes would leave you alone? Grab the moments whenever you can find them. Everyone wants your healing energy — and no, they don’t really care if you’re half dead, with nothing left to give. That’s the thing about being a natural healer, you have to be the one to decide how much energy is for you and how much is left for them. There’s always plenty of work. Toughen up.
LEO Jul 23 - Aug 22
Is everyone complaining that you’re too bossy? Well, that just shows how much they know. Right now, you should be charging for that advice. It’s brilliant. And it’s flowing out of you like rivers of magic. Anyone who doesn’t appreciate your genius should be kicked right out to make space for someone more enthusiastic. They’ll get the message soon enough.
VIRGO Aug 23 - Sep 22
You’ve been trying so hard to please everyone, you’re about to collapse. This is the week to spoil yourself. Ask yourself every morning: what would make you smile? What colours would make you happy? What food would fill you with energy? They may seem like absurd questions, but when did you last treat yourself as well as you treat them? And sure, you can always write a long list of your faults. Every Virgo is very good at that.
