Your Stars

- By Linda Shaw

ANGELA TAUKOBONG October 3 1976, Joburg, 12h00 Sun sign: Libra Moon sign: Aquarius Rising sign: Capricorn

Things are looking up — or soon will be. By January, you’ll have moved into a new success cycle and will be ready to begin your life again. You’ve been through a few tough years, but your career has remained a prominent focus. You were raised to mistrust anything that happens too easily or too quickly, so you’ll be measuring your progress in baby steps. For now, you’re absorbed in an image change. The planets of transforma­tion are giving you a second look at yourself — and you’re ready to move into your second act. Romance, combined with a fascinatin­g new business opportunit­y, is on the horizon. Take it slowly with both. Your relationsh­ip planets are moving in reverse until July, so no decisions before then. How about learning a few new skills? You’ll need them to take you to the next level. Take it slowly. You have been through a lot.

GEMINI

May 21 - June 20

A dose of attention is needed here – something impressive enough to reignite your fires. All fine, if you’re also contributi­ng something from your side. Watch yourself, or your self absorption could blind you to the fact that you’re driving the fans away. Keep an eye on your motives, and you’ll be able to put the ego-stroking into perspectiv­e. Learn to laugh at yourself, with affection.

CANCER

June 21 - Jul 22

The words are sliding magnetical­ly off your tongue, impressing anyone within hearing distance. Which is just as well, because what’s going on beneath that cool, intelligen­t exterior no-one needs to see. Except you, of course. And for you, the discovery that you have very real emotions, is something of a shock. A scary thought, but manageable.

LEO

Jul 23 - Aug 22

This is your week to take charge. The energies are with you, handing over the reins whether you want them or not. The career comes first, attracting influentia­l assistance and new discoverie­s. You might even use this time to start your own business. In fact, why not make that the focus of your week? You can handle the love drama later. Either way, no decisions before Friday’s full moon has cast her beams.

VIRGO

Aug 23 - Sep 22

You’re in tip-top shape, able to handle anyone’s moods without getting sucked into their problems. Use the time to reinforce your self-esteem. It won’t be long before you’re in demand again. If you have anything important to say to anyone, now’s a good time. You’re thinking clearly and saying what you mean. For business deals, you’ll know what to do after Friday’s full moon.

LIBRA

Sep 23 - Oct 22

Money opportunit­ies are coming your way. Interestin­gly, you have less interest in the end result and more in the process. The need to make a difference is pushing you in new directions. Don’t set your sights too high though. You don’t have to be Mother Theresa to help out. You’re no use to anyone if you’re paralysed by your own fears.

SCORPIO

Oct 23 - Nov 21

Progress may be slow and budget problems are causing frustratin­g delays. Take a careful look at your finances before jumping into anything new. You could benefit from someone else’s resources. Accept offers, but check upfront to see how many strings are attached to the deal. At home, focus on the present to find out what really makes you happy. But wait for Friday’s full moon before making any big decisions.

SAGITTARIU­S

Nov 22 - Dec 21

The love life may be driving you nuts, but it’s certainly not boring. Besides, the trouble could stem from the fact that you’ve been distracted by your new Internet pals. Think about what you want before the problems get real. The career is doing its own thing; health is a bit needy. But never mind all that. There’s a full moon on Friday, inviting you to change your life — if you like.

CAPRICORN

Dec 22 - Jan 20

Something big is coming. Something internatio­nal and fabulous and just what you wanted. Your challenge is to make sure you’re not looking the wrong way when it arrives. Meanwhile, say yes to everything — and then check it out. Friday’s full moon starts the ball rolling. Make a list of desires. It’s important to know exactly what you want.

AQUARIUS

Jan 20 - Feb 18

Long-term changes in health and career are coming up. And while you’re digesting that, changes in your spiritual direction take you down a fascinatin­g new road. Suddenly your dreams and wishes are different. And to add to your confusion, there’s a huge argument with a friend. Strangely you don’t mind any of it as much as you thought you would. All part of a new adventure, in short. And you’re certainly ready for one of those.

PISCES

Feb 19 - Mar 20

The career is absorbing you now. Which is just as well, because everyone’s watching — and a life-changing offer is hovering in the wings. Obviously this is not the time to slack off, even though your energy levels have plummeted and your patience is wearing thin. Stop and ask yourself what you really want. You’re about to get it. If you’re unsure, wait for Friday’s full moon.

ARIES

Mar 21 - April 19

It feels like your life has turned into a suburban nightmare. But, once you’ve mastered the practical things, you’ll soon find ways to combine some form of realism with that old genius. As the spiritual masters say, enlightenm­ent is about walking the mystical path with practical feet. Once you can see everything as an adventure, you’ll remember what fun was like.

TAURUS

Apr 20 - May 20

A peculiar need to do everything at once is pushing you beyond your limits. Take care. Your health is always the first thing to go when you do this to yourself. Swallow your pride, ask for help and learn the value of patience. Take note that a stalled project is on the move again, or will be after Friday’s full moon. Save some time for fun. You’ve forgotten how it feels to laugh.
