YOU (South Africa)

YOUR STARS

- BY PETRA DU PREEZ

CAPRICORN

21 DEC – 20 JAN No matter how hard you try to appease someone at work who’s angry or rude, you’re wasting your time. You might be doing so out of compassion, but this person is unable to appreciate your efforts. Divert your energy somewhere more productive, as once Mercury moves into your sign on the 7th, there’ll be plenty of people interested in hearing what you have to say. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 6, 21, 25, 46, 24, 12

AQUARIUS

21 JAN – 18 FEB Your creativity might have taken a knock, making you feel a little lost or unsure, so take a temporary break from creative endeavours to regroup yourself. Rather go on workshops, listen to podcasts or attend an artistic retreat to get inspired once more. Your inner journey should currently be your top priority. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 5, 41, 48, 25, 44, 13

PISCES

19 FEB – 20 MARCH Now that generous Jupiter is preparing to leave your sign, you’ve got to give it all you’ve got. You might not be getting support from your family – probably not out of a lack of interest but rather out of pre-occupation with their own worries – but you have your partner’s support. After the 7th, friends are keen to encourage you. It’s time to believe in yourself. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 22, 25, 45, 15, 26, 23

ARIES

21 MARCH – 19 APRIL Your greatest assets are your ability to communicat­e, to persuade others, and to get your point of view across. This is especially true in a profession­al environmen­t, but be careful not to come across too strongly. You and your partner are likely to have difference­s and finding a middle way may seem impossible. If you argue, be sure to make up before bedtime. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 4, 23, 25, 32, 24, 11

TAURUS

20 APRIL – 20 MAY With your ruler, Venus, and Mars, your partner’s ruler, opposing each other this week, you may feel that you’re living in two different worlds. If finding a harmonious solution is out of the question, giving each other space might help love find its way back home. Friends might be sympatheti­c but are probably not unbiased. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 9, 25, 30, 47, 29, 19

GEMINI

21 MAY – 20 JUNE Love and romance might not go according to plan right now and the combinatio­n of Venus and Mars opposing each other on the 1st might feel like it manifests as the war of the sexes. Keep calm and carry on, as this too shall pass. Make sure the intensity of your arguments are matched by the intensity of making up. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 38, 19, 13, 7, 17, 36

CANCER

21 JUNE – 21 JULY A bit of soul searching is required this week to ascertain if you’re harbouring any pent-up anger that you may not be aware of. Pay close attention if you perhaps attract angry people. It may be a sign that you need to get in touch with your own anger. Communicat­ion in a close relationsh­ip improves after the 7th, and this will make it easier to talk about difficult topics. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 8, 29, 42, 25, 33, 13

LEO

22 JULY – 22 AUG Avoid friends who are looking for fights and arguments, even if you have a long history together. Especially avoid those friends who are critical or judgementa­l of your new creative efforts. You may never know what’s behind it – jealousy, or a channel for their anger – so get on with your life. Focus your attention on your work and the joy you get from completing a task. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 6, 26, 45, 47, 42, 23

VIRGO

23 AUG – 22 SEPT If circumstan­ces at work are having a negative influence on your home and family life, you need to find a way of dealing with this conflict. Maybe you have extended family who can step in and take a load off your shoulders, or maybe the time has come to reconsider your current job. Don’t make any rash decisions, but if you feel you’re being victimised, speak up. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 1, 32, 37, 45, 33, 10

LIBRA

23 SEPT – 22 OCT Due to a tense aspect between your governing planet, Venus, and the nebulous planet Neptune, you may be overly sensitive this week. Colleagues are ready to shift the blame onto you, so ready yourself for this happening. Someone might be trying to persuade you to join a religious or spiritual group that goes against your grain, so stand firm in your beliefs. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 6, 10, 24, 50, 17, 7

SCORPIO

23 OCT – 21 NOV They say all is fair in love and war, and you might be getting a taste of this. You and your partner might need to clear the air, but undertake to fight clean and make up afterwards. Money seems to be the root of all evil in your household, and although there might not be any quick fixes, there are issues that have to be discussed. A sense of calm is restored by the 7th, so relax and take a breather. YOUR LUCKY NUMBERS 9, 16, 41, 46, 37, 15
