YOU (South Africa)

YOUR STARS

- By PETRA DU PREEZ

ARIES

21 MARCH – 19 APRIL As an Aries with a pioneering spirit, you might like to be at the forefront of things. This week you may want to take a backseat, though, so retreat and let others lead. It may even diminish your stress levels. Now is a good time to turn your focus inwards and to contemplat­e life, whether from a spiritual, philosophi­cal or scientific perspectiv­e. So you may want to pause the rat race and spend some time by yourself. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 24, 27, 46, 1, 12, 44

TAURUS

20 APRIL – 20 MAY Unpredicta­ble Uranus moves into your sign this week, signalling the start of a seven-year period in which it may be sensible to expect the unexpected. It might sound unsettling for a Taurus – who likes stability – but welcome surprises and unforeseen opportunit­ies may be part of the deal. Don’t fret about a friend’s loyalty – things won’t be hazy for long. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 52, 2, 26, 36, 16, 7

GEMINI

21 MAY – 20 JUNE Your planet, Mercury, starts moving backwards this week, which may throw a spanner in the works. You’ll have to be most vigilant in the profession­al arena. It’s a time in which technologi­cal glitches can hamper your progress and prevent you from reaching deadlines. Have alternativ­e options at hand. Be mindful that a breakdown in communicat­ion can ruin your efforts. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 33, 46, 17, 28, 2, 11

CANCER

21 JUNE – 21 JULY As a Cancer you’re bound to be a sensitive soul, a characteri­stic that could be a help or a hindrance this week. Your caring nature might make an easy target for people to take advantage of. On the upside, it’s a week in which your imaginatio­n can find many creative outlets. It’s a great time to examine your thoughts or embark on a spiritual journey. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 8, 15, 22, 33, 49, 51

LEO

22 JULY – 22 AUG The love goddess, Venus, moves into your love horoscope, paving the way for matters of the heart. It’s an apt time to show your partner how much you appreciate them. Should you be a Leo with a lonely heart, the chance to attract your soulmate may present itself. Spend time grooming yourself, whether it’s investing in a chic new hairstyle or buying a flamboyant outfit. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 50, 43, 29, 10, 7, 32

VIRGO

23 AUG – 22 SEPT Your planet, Mercury, goes retrograde this week, which could cause minor glitches in all areas of your life – although it seems relationsh­ips will be most affected. Forewarned is forearmed, so be alert when dealing with others. Miscommuni­cation is likely to be the greatest culprit, even if you’re a Virgo who dots the i’s and crosses the t’s. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 3, 9, 1, 25, 30, 38

LIBRA

23 SEPT – 22 OCT Your planet, Venus, moves into a compatible air sign this week, which should make you feel at ease. Whether you’re relating to your partner, liaising with your boss, rubbing shoulders with associates or socialisin­g with your friends, you’re bound to feel comfortabl­e. Though with Mercury, lord of communicat­ion, in reverse gear, employ your skills in diplomacy and tact. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 29, 47, 20, 3, 44, 52

SCORPIO

23 OCT – 21 NOV Life takes on a contemplat­ive mood, right up the alley of a Scorpio. Whether you want to mull over the myriad mysteries of life, explore the depths of your own psyche or ponder an unsolved puzzle, deliberati­on is the order of the day. With your sixth sense heightened, you’ll be able to pick up on the vibes around you, which can be a valuable gift. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 4, 48, 13, 37, 18, 28

SAGITTARIU­S

22 NOV – 20 DEC Annoying niggles in and around the house may cramp your style and interfere with your freedom of movement. Whether leaks or breakdowns create extra chores, faulty appliances or technologi­cal glitches cause delay, all may not go according to plan. Even a positive Sagittariu­s can get downhearte­d. Since prevention is better than cure, spend time this week on maintenanc­e jobs. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 5, 40, 10, 50, 16, 25

CAPRICORN

21 DEC – 20 JAN Venus, planet of attraction, moves into your financial horoscope this week – right up the street of a moneyconsc­ious Capricorn. Whether you’ll be a magnet for lucrative business deals or meet the right people to advance your wealth, it could be a financiall­y successful week. But on the downside, a luxurious lifestyle can deal a blow to your cash flow. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 6, 4, 14, 22, 51, 17

AQUARIUS

21 JAN – 18 FEB Pleasure-seeking Venus moves into your sign, making it a great time to let your hair down and have fun. You may want to spend time on leisure activities, hang out with friends or watch the latest movie. Try to be responsibl­e with your cash, though. With Mercury, the cosmic purse-carrier, going into reverse gear in your financial horoscope, you need to be realistic about your funds. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 19, 23, 34, 39, 42, 12
