Your Stars
HELEN MAKOLA
September 4 1969, Durban, 23h30 Sun sign: Virgo
Moon sign: Gemini
Rising Sign: Taurus
You’re so sensible you’re almost in charge of your life. But then there’s a madness in you that sabotages your success. It happens when you lose concentration, or change your mind at the last minute, or take too long to react to a good deal. You need to tame that part of your life. Give it a place to play — something that gives you an adrenaline rush. There’s also that grown-up inside who wants your life to work. This is not the greatest year for you; you need to rethink your career and your contribution to the world. You may need to start something on your own. You have skills – communication, cooking, admin, healing and more. Decide which one you like best, and work with it. Your days of feeling like a victim are over. By mid-2020, you’ll be in much better shape. Grab every opportunity you can find. You’ll be fine.
AQUARIUS Jan 20 - Feb 18
You’ve begun your week in a state of paranoia. You’ve convinced yourself that love means loss of freedom – and you’re already planning your escape. Haven’t you ever heard of communication? Relationships are supposed to improve your life, but they do take a while to get comfortable. Tuesday’s Full Moon brings all the magic you need to make choices. So make some.
PISCES Feb 19 - Mar 20
The sun moves into your sign on Tuesday, beaming down on you with its best intentions. Three other planets are already there, picking up the spiritual rays and making your wishes come true. Sure, most people will think you’re gazing vacantly into space. But the truth is you’ve never been more creative. Or more in touch with the energies around you.
ARIES Mar 21 - April 19
The finances are suddenly getting better every day. Of course, you may have to bop a few people on the nose to get what you want – but then you always did love a good battle. The fact is Aries is ruled by the god of war – and you’re never happy unless you’re having to fight for the good stuff. Of course, you might think about changing your patterns during Tuesday’s full moon. Talk to the moon goddess. Invite prosperity into your life. That’s it. Nothing to it.
TAURUS Apr 20 - May 20
You’re a financial magnet. You’re getting what you want, and fast. Don’t chicken out just when it’s getting good. You’ll need a big smile and loads of courage to get through, but you’ll definitely emerge wealthier. Trust your fantastic instincts. The love life improves on Thursday. That’s when the passion planets start travelling together and egging you on. If there was ever a time to change your patterns, it’s now.
GEMINI May 21 - June 20
The career is looking fabulous. All the planets are pushing you to greater heights. By the time you get to Tuesday, you’ll probably be running the country. If you’re having drama with a boss, use Tuesday and Wednesday’s energies to fix the problem. No-one will get the better of you this week, provided you’re actually paying attention.
CANCER June 21 - Jul 22
You’re starting to feel more in control of your life as the heavy planets wander off. Now you need a social life. You haven’t been anywhere fun for ages, and boredom beckons. So get out there and take some risks. Play with someone you had a crush on. If you have a lover, book a weekend away. You’ve forgotten how it feels to be excited by someone’s touch. Recreate some magic. Have some fun.
LEO Jul 23 - Aug 22
Misbehaving again? Your love life is all over the place, and you’re looking round for someone to blame. Blaming is not what’s needed. Fixing what is still fixable is where your head needs to be. Not that you have time for a personal life. Your career is finding a new direction and it’s in a hurry. You’re making deals through friends and contacts. Your fabulous instincts are stepping up. Trust yourself.
VIRGO Aug 23 - Sep 22
The planets are urging action. You have courage dynamism, and an urgent need to fall in love. There are some sneaky energies keen to dig up all your secrets. But since you don’t have any that won’t be a problem. Finances are looking good. Your judgment is superb and you’re attracting trustworthy souls. Set up investment plans. It’s the perfect time.
LIBRA Sep 23 - Oct 22
You’re in much better shape this week. You’ve eaten all your chocolates, and played with all your new lovers, and you’re ready to be a grown-up again. Firstly, your energy levels are all over the place, and your health is very peculiar. Enough alcohol. For now, it’s lettuce and cottage cheese. The career’s doing its own thing for now so you’ll have plenty of time to figure out your life. Success and opportunity are around.
SCORPIO Oct 23 - Nov 21
Is something going on at home? It could just be renovations, or something equally boring. Or it could be family stuff; ancient issues dragged up for another look. Either way, keep your cool and don’t take any of it personally. Every family gets shaken up now and then. It’s healthy. That aside, your finances look good, although you’ll to need to work a little harder. Not that you’ll mind. What you give out is what you get back. Worth remembering.
SAGITTARIUS Nov 22 - Dec 21
The healthier you are, the more likely you are to attract money. Health and money are closely linked now for you. You need to keep the spine aligned, so visit the chiropractor. Communication is big for you now. Whether you’re travelling, writing, speaking, or learning something new, you’ll be helped. Your beautiful smile is back. Excellent.
CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20
Having fun yet? The planets have brought charm, elegance, entertainment and opportunities for love affairs. Your serious side can sit down for a bit. There’s a chance to misbehave without tedious consequences. Then there’s your health – which isn’t all that great. You could use an overhaul. Maybe a two-day fast. Be kind to yourself. Your body needs you.
