Your Stars

NELISIWE MNISI

December 5 1990, Joburg, 04h20 Sun sign: Sagittarius

Moon sign: Cancer

Rising Sign: Scorpio

The career is looking good even if the love life isn’t. Love will sort itself out as soon as you decide what you really want. Part of you is looking for safety and routine, but the other part wants adventure. The next two years are about exploring all your options. Grab every opportunity to explore your world and your life. Nothing big will be decided before you’re 30 anyway, so use this time to get to know yourself. Travel is a vital part of your future. If money’s a problem, look for advice. You’ll always attract as much as you need, but you’ll have to learn how to manage it once you have it. Manage your emotions as well as you can. When they threaten to overwhelm you, take a break and let them. Bottling your feelings is bad for your health. Let yourself be who you are.

SCORPIO Oct 23 - Nov 21

There’s no reason to behave like a monster just because you can. The sun is moving out of your sign on Friday, so you’ll want to do something spectacular before then. This is when you drag out your inner saint and get creative. You could fix your love life; forgiveness is all it takes. Or you could help someone rise in the ranks; a word is someone’s ear should do it. Learn something new. You’ll need extra skills soon.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 22 - Dec 21

You’re back on track and life is finally making some sense. Not your love life, but you can’t have everything. There’s patience and focus here, pushing you on to the next level and making the tough choices for you. It’s almost time to charge ahead with the next project. Just keep in mind that there are times to keep that big mouth shut — most times actually.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20

Even if you disagree with the lovers, swallow your pride and listen to the arguments. Being happy is often more important than being right. Your love life is about to move into a fabulous place. You’ve convinced yourself you can manage on your own, and driven everyone who loves you out of the room. Invite them back in. Trust yourself to do the right thing. You’re a powerful leader. Lead yourself to happiness.

AQUARIUS Jan 20 - Feb 18

Spread those fabulous wings. It’s all happening: people, opportunities, adventures. The universe is rewarding you for all your efforts. If your love life is dodgy, take the lover with you on the next trip. Try to communicate while you’re at it by actually saying how you feel. Just because you said it once 15 years ago doesn’t mean a repeat performance wouldn’t be appreciated.

PISCES Feb 19 - Mar 20

Just because the love planet is back doesn’t mean you get to sit around waiting. The fact is, a dodgy love planet has been replaced by an even dodgier communication planet. The problem is that you don’t have any boundaries. Which means you don’t respect anyone else’s either. Try to use the next three weeks to clean up your act.

ARIES Mar 21 - April 19

The communication planet has gone bananas, and there’s confusion all round. Don’t assume everyone’s lying just because you don’t know what’s going on. The lesson here is about trusting your instincts. If it feels right, it is right. Ranting confuses the energy, so take a breath. The point is, your career is changing and some things need to be released to make space for the new stuff. Even so, don’t argue with anyone’s boss — least of all your own.

TAURUS Apr 20 - May 20

Love is on the agenda. As is passion, romance and bad behaviour. How you use these energies is up to you. Ask yourself whether you’re looking for instant lust or long-term romance. You might use your charm to fix up those business dramas. People are willing to listen now, and even negotiate. The trick? Get out of your comfort zones. Something interesting is knocking.

GEMINI May 21 - June 20

Friday’s full moon is offering a chance to make your wishes come true. You could be distracted by misunderstandings and peculiar messages, but if you stay focused you’ll end the week in a very good mood. Your relationships aren’t doing quite as well. You need to decide whether you’re serious about love or not. If you are, you’ll need to start sharing your thoughts.

CANCER June 21 - Jul 22

Everything is going according to plan, just faster than you were ready for. It’s okay. You haven’t felt this powerful in ages. So when someone abuses your generosity, you’ll know what to say. Try not to over-react, what with the communication planets being dodgy. Use Friday’s full moon to draw up a five-year plan. It’s always nice to have a vague idea where you’re going. This is an adventure you’re going to love.

LEO Jul 23 - Aug 22

There’s something missing: you need fresh input or new adventures. For some reason, when your life’s going too well, you have a need to mess it up. So think about what you want, instead of wasting your energy destroying what you’ve already got. A trip is on the cards. And Friday’s full moon will give you some clues. Be ready to change a little – for the better, obviously.

VIRGO Aug 23 - Sep 22

You’ve been wasting your energy fretting about things that have nothing to do with you. How about concentrating on your own life? You’ll need some focus this week. Your planets have gone on strike, and there’s a full moon on

Friday, bringing news. Good or bad, it’ s is up to you. Your wonderful mind is your greatest weapon. Use it. Decide what you want. And let it come to you.

LIBRA Sep 23 - Oct 22

This is a great week, but you’re wasting energy panicking over your next move. So listen: even a bad decision is better than no decision. Once you get used to making choices, you’ll discover how much fun it is. The point of life is to squeeze in as many experiences as you can. You need to be ready for a fabulous adventure. Something fascinating is on its way. It’s called love.
