Your Stars
LETHABO RATLHOGO April 17 1992, Cape Town, 15h39 Sun sign: Aries Moon sign: Scorpio Rising sign: Virgo
Phew. Has anyone ever called you a control freak? Not surprising. Still, sometimes control is really useful — but only if you’re taking charge of things that are up to you. With your energies, though, you’d be fabulously successful in a business partnership. For now, you need to be experimenting with a huge variety of options. Arts, communications, marketing, health and hospitality would all suit you in different ways. And this is the year to let your career find its feet. The love life is interesting, because you’re wondering whether you’ve made the right choices. Romance is important to you – so much so you’re twisting yourself in knots to please someone. Leave that for now. Concentrate on developing your independence and self-esteem — whatever that takes. The rest will sort itself out.

VIRGO
Aug 23 - Sep 22
The goodies may not be arriving as swiftly as you’d hoped, but they’re on their way. It’s almost as though an avalanche has suddenly blocked your path — but as soon as you find a way round those unexpected mountains, you’ll be up and running again. You’re looking gorgeous, pumping with energy. You’re extraordinary. Since everyone needs a mentor at some point, how about offering your services?
LIBRA
Sep 23 - Oct 22
A few sparks fly as you make choices that are especially for you. About time! You’re discovering that selfishness is not always the devil it’s made out to be. Tracks are being laid for your dreams to follow and the energies are already shifting in your direction. Pay attention. You’ll feel them. Even so, watch your health. People will be demanding more than you can deliver.
SCORPIO
Oct 23 - Nov 21
Unexpected career shifts leave you wondering whether you’re on the right track. Stand back and watch until you have a clearer plan. Changes affect more than just you. Shake-ups both in your industry and hierarchy leave the field wide open for transformation. Now’s the time to pick a dream career and demand the very best deal. Love, meanwhile, is hopeless.
SAGITTARIUS Nov 22 - Dec 21
The money train is backing in and out of your station, so budgets are tediously vital. Meanwhile, if you’re sick of your job, use this week’s voomah to look around. You probably won’t make an actual move until early next year, but start now anyway. And if you’re hunting for love, let a friend introduce you to someone delicious. None of that “I don’t like fix-ups” garbage. Communications are different now.
CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20
Health is good, but still needs to be watched. Not so closely though that you lose sight of the rest of your life because this is actually a very social time. Love is powerful, if a little unstable. Old relationships need a revamp or complete change. New ones throw you off balance. Your job is to manage home and business, so you still have one of each at month-end.
AQUARIUS
Jan 20 - Feb 18
Relationships involving love, commitment, romance are driving you crazy. You’re in one of your analytical moods, weighing up the pros and cons. If you must do that, kindly do it on your own. No-one needs to hear those thoughts but you. The good news is that friendships are flourishing, and you have all the support you need. At work, things are going really well.
PISCES
Feb 19 - Mar 20
Did someone say stress? Relax, sweetie. The pressure’s off and the rewards are already being unwrapped. Relationships — amazingly enough — are top of your list. Messages and signs are everywhere, once you’ve learned how to look. For the more obvious details though, take note of those who are taking note of you. Plenty of them. Milder news is that the money could take a little longer to manifest.
ARIES
Mar 21 - April 19
Your career is looking fantastic, so get moving. It’s up to you to lead the way — if you want to. And guess what? The family is completely behind you, not complaining once about your scarcity at dinner parties. Meanwhile, pay attention to the silences. You'll be sent new insights via dreams or subtle messages. If a job change is on the way, you’ll know by the weekend.
TAURUS
Apr 20 - May 20
This is mostly a fun time for you, though the planets have added a little sauce. Nothing too terrible and mostly bringing solutions by mid-month. Even so, you’re being tossed off your perch. Which means yes to a change of perspective. And almost certainly to a brief financial wobble. Otherwise, mild frustration and happy surprise is the essence of your week.
GEMINI
May 21 - June 20
It’s a tough choice — career or home. Both are equally demanding, and you’re wondering how to rip yourself in half. Obviously the career will take precedence, but since your intuition is so vibrant, you’ll know when you’re pushing the limits. You’ll have to listen though, and take note. The upside is that health and energy levels are pulsating, and you can manage more than most.
CANCER
June 21 - Jul 22
Those darned emotions are dragging you into places you’d rather not visit. So if you’ve been thinking therapy, ask about detachment, anger management, forgiveness — all areas you need to master. Emotional opportunities, meanwhile, are everywhere. There’s romance at work, a sudden windfall, sexual delight and enormous optimism.
LEO
Jul 23 - Aug 22
There’s plenty of fire to lift your spirits. Which is just as well because the emotions have moved into roller-coaster mode and the financial stresses are in danger of sabotaging your moves. None of that is allowed. Get rid of bad feelings by writing them down and then burning the paper. There are parties to be seduced, money to be made and deals to be finalised. Sex is everywhere.
