Rising Sign: Aries

Feeling abandoned? You’re so good at toughing it out that no-one knows how fragile you’ve become. First, ask for help. It’s the only way you’ll get any. And you’ll discover you’re not the only one who wants to make a difference. Won’t that be a relief? Second, understand that you’re in the middle of a cycle that’s sent to test you. This won’t be an easy two years. Adulthood means putting down the fears and blockages that are holding you back. Think about exploring a belief system: religion, spirituality, something meaningful. Don’t be obliged to follow family or community. This is about your personal beliefs. After all, you’re the one who has to live with yourself. You’re discovering what you’re truly capable of and you surprise yourself every day. Want your chart read? E-mail linda@hixnet.co.za

SAGITTARIUS Nov 22 - Dec 21

Life couldn’t be better, especially after Thursday when your mind lines up beautifully with your heart. You’re no longer sabotaging yourself. Most of your plans are working out as they should. But for that to happen, you’ll need to put down the projects that were never going to work. A great week for you.

CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20

Just when you’re at your busiest, the universe sends a bunch of new friends to play with. Lovers, even. You can make some fabulous connections now if you feel like it. Of course, you’ll probably have to let go of a relationship that no longer works – but that’s just to make space for something better. Year-end is always a spectacular time to start new things. Don’t sabotage. Just enjoy.

AQUARIUS

Jan 20 - Feb 18

There are fantastic new opportunities out there, provided you have the courage to make some changes. You could wait till next year as long as you get the balls rolling soon. Either way, keep your eyes peeled for interesting adventures. As usual, you’re being far too neurotic about change – and “change”, in case you hadn’t noticed, is another word for “life”. Find practical ways to manifest those brilliant ideas in your head. Friends and lovers are feeling neglected, so give them a timeline.

PISCES

Feb 19 - Mar 20

Losing the plot again? You’re warbling on without paying any attention to what you’re saying and not making a syllable of sense. To be fair, it’s not completely your fault. The planets have only just pulled themselves right, and you’re always the last to catch on to these things. Think about your best possible outcome. You’ll be better by Thursday.

ARIES

Mar 21 - April 19

You’re better off when you feel someone cares. A little support is all you’re asking for. You’ll need to make some powerful decisions over the next few weeks, and you’ll be looking for confirmation. Write down your thoughts. Ask yourself a question before you go to sleep. The answer will be there in the morning. Trust yourself.

TAURUS

Apr 20 - May 20

You’re making progress, but there are things you can’t manage on your own. You’ll find it’s someone you already know who comes to your aid. Don’t shy away from new offers, no matter how invasive. A partnership has as many upsides as downs. Your personal life is taking off in a fabulous new direction. Why? Because you’ve stopping caring about the impression you’re making. If someone doesn’t like you, that’s tough. You’re almost free of other people’s judgment. Now stop judging yourself.

GEMINI

May 21 - June 20

Why so worried about what everyone else thinks? Your planets are back on track and your stars are pointing upwards. If your energies are scattered, you’ll miss the turnings. Slow down and concentrate. At work, particularly, it’s important not to drop the ball. You’re being undermined by your impatience. Take your time. Friends will remain.

CANCER

June 21 - Jul 22

You’re not going to manage this on your own. Something you thought was finished ages ago has turned up again and it’s full of holes. If you’re the boss, delegate. If not, get stuck in before someone starts blaming you. In fact, even if you are the boss, you’ll need to show the others you can be part of a team. Either way, no hasty decisions.

LEO

Jul 23 - Aug 22

You’ve finally figured out what’s needed to get your life back on track. Now all you have to do is put the plan into action. That means getting off your butt and taking a few steps in one direction or another. There’ve been too many distractions lately, many of which you’ve created yourself, and you’ve lost track of the goal. This month is about adult assistance and brilliant decisions. If they’re not your decisions, go along with them anyway – and be grateful. Accept help, but make an effort.

VIRGO

Aug 23 - Sep 22

If you’re spending more money than you wanted to, stop a moment. Yes, you have to spend money to make money, but what are you spending your money on? And are you putting your trust in the right people? These are tough questions and no-one wants to turn you into a paranoid lunatic. But your instincts are a little off now so take advice from someone who has nothing to gain from your ambitions.

LIBRA

Sep 23 - Oct 22

Those endless tasks are as fascinating as watching grass grow. But you know what, there are circumstances in which grass growing could become a real passion. The point is, everything is exciting when you adjust your attitude. Prepare for a tedious week and do your best to make it fun. Focus on the outcome. Think about how proud you’ll be.

SCORPIO

Oct 23 - Nov 21

All those plans waiting for the green light are ready to move. That’s more work than you think you can handle, but make a start and take it as it comes. You’ll see some success very quickly. In fact, your only real problem will be making sure the finances are increased instead of used up. Everything’s moving so fast you’re in danger of getting careless — so watch that. There’s help out there, provided you have the humility to ask.
