YOUR WEEKLY HOROSCOPE | November 26 — December 02

SAGITTARIUS

November 22 — December 21

The sun beams down on your finances. Grab every opportunity, no matter how peculiar. The other planets have been dwelling on your past, dragging up ancient regrets and old mistakes. If you must, take a final look at them, then put them down. No one’s punishing you but yourself. Make amends if you can, then start afresh. Tomorrow’s Full Moon brings the promise of magic. Make a list of desires, just to make sure you know what you want.

CAPRICORN

December 22 — January 19

Someone’s misleading you at work. Ask questions. Find out what’s really going on and try not to sign anything before mid-Jan. Not that you need to worry. Money’s going well and the social life has just taken a giant leap forward. Love’s on offer too, if you’re available. If you’re involved, get some romance going. Look gorgeous. Tomorrow’s Full Moon has the news you’ve been waiting for.

AQUARIUS

January 20 — February 18

Money’s improving, but still needs watching. Those can’t-lose deals could easily lose, so say no until you’re sure. If you’re offered a trip, grab it and take someone fabulous with you. If you’re alone, you won’t be for long. And this time, try your best to reserve judgment until you’ve measured all the good bits. No one’s perfect — except you, of course. Meanwhile, look out for tomorrow’s Full Moon. Someone interesting is languishing on a moonbeam.

PISCES

February 19 — March 20

The planets are still messing with your head, bringing strange changes and wild happenings. The idea is to shake you out of your rut long enough to help you realise you’re capable of much more. Still, tomorrow’s chirpy Full Moon brings happier news as the sun slowly turns to shine on your career. Meanwhile, when you’re feeling wobbly, lie in the bath for a while. Water is your healer. Add a handful of salt and you’ll soon be good to go. The next adventure is on its way.

ARIES

March 21 — April 19

Look out for unexpected bonuses, profits, winnings. Even so, don’t spend the money before it’s in your hand. And put debt repayment at the top of your list — yes, even before planning your next trip. In love, meanwhile, some interesting decisions are being made. Ask yourself whether you want to be the one making them. And one more thing, if something’s coming to an end, it’s because there’s something better round the corner. Cliché, but true.

TAURUS

April 20 — May 20 

Money’s up and opportunity is knocking. Even so, take your time. There’s more where that came from, so no need to jump at the first offer. This is your week for meeting people and showing off your fabulous talents. Which means you’ll have to say yes to the tedious cocktail parties and dazzle them with your charms. That shouldn’t be too hard. Tomorrow’s highly sociable Full Moon will add a little sparkle to your swagger. And smile mysteriously. Everyone will want to know your secret.

GEMINI

May 21 — June 20

Your week brings luck, travel and the magic of tomorrow’s Gemini Full Moon. By now, you’ll have resolved all those boring dramas with friends and be back in the social whirl. Of course, your sensitive side is still calling for spiritual growth and quiet moments. But you’ll choose your priorities as you go along. The point is, you’re back in charge of your life. You just need to decide what kind of life you’d like to be in charge of. Simple.

CANCER

June 21 — Jul 22

Your instincts are fantastic as your creative genius creeps out of hiding and makes itself known. Then, with tomorrow’s wonderfully courageous Full Moon comes the romance of the century, or at the very least, romantic opportunities. Even so, it’s still not a great idea to ride off into the sunset with someone you met yesterday. Just for now, give a little less and take more. See how it feels to be on the other side for a change.

LEO

Jul 23 — Aug 22

Conflict with lovers is virtually guaranteed. No matter. You can use that fabulous mind to transform the relationship or even drag those wonderful fireworks back into the bedroom. Careful though. These energies are explosive and must be handled with care. And yes, that could mean revealing some vulnerability. But what the heck? You like new experiences. And besides, the rest of your life is going really well.

VIRGO

Aug 23 — Sep 22

Tomorrow’s mischievous Full Moon brings confusion and adventure. For a start, don’t trust any promises made this week. They’re designed to mess with your head. But do, on the other hand, trust your instincts. They’re even better than usual. For a start, you’ll find interesting ways to make more money, possibly even starting a business. Then, if you’re keen, you’ll be led towards an interesting new love. Up to you.

LIBRA

September 23 — October 22

Those fabulous social skills have just shoved you to the front of the find-new-lovers queue. Want one? Open your mouth and let the charm spill out. Then, if this week turns out to be a practice run, you’ll find what you’re looking for by year-end. Meanwhile, try not to get fired before Monday’s Full Moon has had her say. Those brilliant ideas — yes, they are brilliant — need a little more work before the grand unveiling.

SCORPIO

October 23 — November 21

You simply cannot fail. If decision-making is on the agenda, your stars and a deliciously powerful Full Moon are shining down from the heavens, meaning everyone thinks you’re great and, for now, there’s nothing you can’t get away with. Except perhaps in the love department, where you’re involved with someone who knows you better than the rest and is no longer impressed by your charms. How about an honest conversation for once? This would be the perfect time.

Your Chart: Ayanda Veleni

• February 9 1979, Keiskammahoek, 6am
• Sun sign: Aquarius
• Moon sign: Cancer
• Rising sign: Aquarius

Talk about a contradiction in terms! Part of you wants to jet off to outer space with your two favourite dogs and the other part wants to nestle down with a large cluster of relatives and a bowl of soup. Strangely, your greatest fear is of being alone. But your greatest nightmare is about being suffocated by the people in your space. The one thing that keeps you sane is work. When all else is falling apart, you can always hold your centre by contributing in some special way. That wonderful Aquarian personality keeps you buoyant and optimistic. But it’s your soft Cancerian heart that trips you up. Cancer is an idealist, longing for a peaceful world, a charitable action and, most of all, a great love. Relationships have always been difficult for you. Part of you is deeply commitment-phobic — terrified of boredom. But your heart still believes in perfect love, meaning you either settled for what you considered to be the best you could get or you’re still waiting for your soul mate. The good news is that more love is on its way in January, though whether you’re available to take the chance is a question you’ll have to answer. Work, meanwhile, is changing and growing. Keep a lookout for new opportunities. Next year will be a wild adventure.
