Your Stars
Thokozile Motaung August 27 1991, Joburg, 06h00 Sun sign: Virgo Moon sign: Pisces Rising sign: Leo
You might be the most sensitive soul on the planet, but no-one would ever know. That wonderful Leo personality lets you hide all your pain behind smiles and jokes. But you’re so hard on yourself that you allow guilt to paralyse you. Beneath all that drama, lies an extraordinary array of gifts and talents. You’re a natural healer and hard worker; determined to make the world a better place. You’ve been having a hard time this year while going through the “Saturn Return”, during which anything that stops you becoming an independent adult is taken away. You feel alone or misunderstood. The good news is that life improves after your 30th birthday. Until then, just hang in and try not to take it personally. You have extraordinary talents and you’ll discover what to do with them towards the end of next year. Success beckons. Best of luck.

VIRGO
Aug 23 - Sep 22
Someone you’d forgotten about resurfaces to send you into a spin. Take care. Memories tend to be more about fantasy than real, flawed human beings. Besides, the relationship that’s under your nose has a value you’ve forgotten. This is a lucky week for you. Make a wish. Then take whatever action is needed to ensure it comes true.
LIBRA
Sep 23 - Oct 22
The gods of lust, adoration and sensuality are wafting about your boudoir. This doesn’t mean you’re allowed to abuse the lovers, smug in the knowledge that they can never resist your charms. But it does mean you can pretty much have what you want for the next while. Think of yourself as bewitched by a magic spell, irresistible to anyone in your space. Be generous with all those lesser mortals.
SCORPIO
Oct 23 - Nov 21
Try something new. Anything — as long as it stimulates the juices and moves your head into a more lateral space. Some astonishing opportunities are about to present themselves, and you want to be ready to impress whoever's looking. This is your big chance. Don't blow it by being too rigid. Fortunately, your vitality has come back with a whoosh. Use it to attract a few more fabulous people into your space.
SAGITTARIUS Nov 22 - Dec 21
You’re just in time to show ’em what you’re made of. There are games to be played and moves to be made. Just for a while, you have cosmic permission to take whatever you can get. One thing: be as generous as you can. You’ll be rewarded. Besides, it’s always useful to find out what the others think. That way you’ll be able to join forces.
CAPRICORN Dec 22 - Jan 20
Hoping, or assuming, that the personal dramas will work out by themselves? Wrong. As you have so often announced, no-one can be expected to be a mind-reader. So if something has to be said, say it. And that means you. Your long-term emotional — and financial — security is at stake here. Do something useful. Give yourself permission to succeed — even if you’re not perfect.
AQUARIUS
Jan 20 - Feb 18
You're going to need more than a toothbrush and clean broekies to get where you're going. This week's journeys want you looking good. There are important changes coming, important enough for you to break down and remove that bolt from your nose. It's a good cause; one that could make you rich. There are many different ways of being a weirdo, and that shock factor is built into your DNA. It doesn’t need help.
PISCES
Feb 19 - Mar 20
Your fascination with someone who probably doesn’t know you’re alive is reaching epic proportions. It’s time for the next step; even risking rejection if necessary. What’s the worst thing that could happen? Your ego could suffer the odd dent. You could get your wish. Or, of course, you could finally wake up and stop behaving like such a prat.
ARIES
Mar 21 - April 19
You’re not enjoying yourself enough and the part of your psyche that thrives on fun is getting petulant and rebellious. Please note: no-one is impressed by your misery. So, arrange something self-indulgent every day this week — something small. Allow people to give, without feeling in their debt; buy yourself pressies; postpone difficult projects, and have a blast.
TAURUS
Apr 20 - May 20
Creativity is your word for the week. You're at your brilliant best, capable of just about anything. But still, even creativity can come in rather larger doses than we can handle. Large enough to send you off on a series of brief romantic flings – 'just for the experience. Large enough to drive you into the casinos, where
'the devil makes you do it. Watch yourself. Try something that brings positive attention — not the other kind.
GEMINI
May 21 - June 20
It’s been a stormy time and it’s about to get stormier for a while. Your first move is to make sure you really want all those things you’re fighting so hard to hang on to. And the next is to dole out your energy only where it’s really needed. Ask yourself whether you’re willing to change to get what you want. It’s your attitude that creates your reality. It’s up to you to choose the next step.
CANCER
June 21 - Jul 22
Priorities are changing, and your relationships need shifting to accommodate the new you. Family needs are important too, and you’ll probably have to make the odd sacrifice to maintain the bigger picture. You’ll also need extra time to handle a new project. Get some stress therapy — even if it’s just a massage. For now, you have to be the strong one.
LEO
Jul 23 - Aug 22
Keep an eye on the competitors this week. They may try to pull a fast one — or, at least, a faster one than you. Don't fret though. If things aren't going your way, take a short break. It'll help change your perspective, while making you available to bump into someone from your past. You might want to renew that acquaintance. Help is available if you’re hoping to lay new financial foundations. But you will have to ask. .
