TAURUS
April 20 — May 20
Worried that you’re out of control? That your little boat has lost its oars? Well, so what? Just for once, you’ll have to trust in something outside yourself. Something you can’t even see. Besides, as you can tell, the waters you’re sailing on are calm and beautiful. Take a moment to look around. Your way is probably not the best way right now. Let someone else steer for a change. And charm the pants off everyone you meet. This week is about them. You get to go along for the ride.
GEMINI
May 21 — June 20
Potential loves are taking two steps forward and 15 back. Not that they don’t want you. It’s just that they’re not quite sure what to do with you once they’ve got you. “Somewhat hard-to-handle” is probably the best way to describe you now: you’re witty, desirable, sociable and more arrogant than even you thought possible. So, relax. You’re scaring the punters. Spend some time alone, to remind yourself how great you are to be around …when you behave.
CANCER
June 21 — July 22
No more spending for you! Channel any spare cash into safe investments, and use your natural skills to improve the cash flow. Better still, get some advice. If you’re thinking of teaching a course or studying for something new, do it now. Your thoughts are racing, and, for the time being, you’re managing to keep one step ahead of the pack. Don’t waste your advantage. And remember to smile. Smiling always raises your vibration. It’s true.
LEO
July 23 — August 22
The planet of power and courage has popped in for a visit. And so what if you lose your temper now and again? It’s certainly a whole lot better than lying about with your head in your hands, wondering what to do next. Still, you might think about more constructive ways of using this wonderfully creative energy. As in getting what you want. Or rising to the top of the heap. Or even fixing a love life that’s temporarily lost its way.
VIRGO
August 23 — September 22
Oh perfect! All the people you would normally ask for advice are up to their knees in dramas of their own. And the trouble is, you've been wondering whether your thoughts and plans are getting out of style — even downright old-fashioned. Well, so what? How about — for once — trusting yourself as much as you trust them. Could be you're just way ahead of your time. Besides, the luck planets are currently sitting patiently in your career. So? How much cash do you need?
LIBRA
September 23 — October 22
If you've been mulling over peculiar partnerships, look closer. A hint of the extraordinary is what you're after — with that marvellous mind absorbing everything it sees. Keep a door open for unusual opportunities that don't make any sense at the time. And while you're there, think about expanding your skills. Hold off on making big decisions till you know what you really want. Awareness comes in its own time.
SCORPIO
October 23 — November 21
As creative as you are, you’re not that keen on change. You’re happy to sit in your cosy study transforming the world around you, while watching from a safe distance. Well, tough. It’s time to get your hands dirty. If you’ve created something fabulous, let it be known. If you’re confused about anything, close your eyes and tune in. Your instincts are fantastic while the planets are like this, so use them. And watch your health. You don’t need to be held back by anything as boring as that.
SAGITTARIUS
November 22 — December 21
Some aggressive decisions can now be made — even if the results are less exciting than you’d hoped. The point is, you’re looking in the wrong direction for outcomes. In fact, how about focusing on adventures rather than homecomings. It’s simply a matter of shifting your line of vision. Meanwhile, problems with joint finances can easily be fixed if you’re willing to compromise. If you’re alone, love is coming. Make sure you're willing to travel.
CAPRICORN
December 22 — January 19
Your happiness is up to you — provided you’re willing to make the appropriate moves. You’re finding new friends and swatting away the fans as your natural charms draw them in. Changes are slow, so focus on the details while the big picture creates itself. Most of all, say yes to every invite. Your financial instincts are at their peak, provided you listen to the whispers. Even the family is on your side — so if there was ever a time to trust yourself, it would be now. Most of all, have a blast. Your universe is in a fun mood.
AQUARIUS
January 20 — February 18
The love life may be driving you bananas — but it’s certainly not boring. In fact, your entire social life is diverting enough to get you into seriously fun trouble. The career is doing its own thing, and inviting you along for the ride. And the health could certainly stand a little attention. But never mind all that. The planets are in position, urging you to change your life. Make some travel plans, or learn something new. Life is a flow of experiences. Start the flow.
PISCES
February 19 — March 20
Panic and good health seldom go together — so work on clearing your mind if you want to stay in shape. Your body is especially sensitive now, so be kind to it. At work, meanwhile, a situation you thought was unfair, is sorting itself out — without any interference from you. And with your reputation improving daily, the opportunities are rolling in. Think carefully about your desires, and take the best options.
ARIES
March 21 — April 19
It’s a good mood week — for no apparent reason other than you’ve woken up knowing it’s great to be alive. Not that anything particularly magical has taken place. Except perhaps that you’re looking and feeling fabulous and the crowd of admirers is now spilling into the next room. And of course, the career has rushed in with a wad of new ideas and some delicious opportunities to change your life. Savour every morsel.
Your Chart
Peter Baruti (November 6 1969, Ladysmith, 6.23pm)
Sun sign: Scorpio
Moon sign: Libra
Rising sign: Taurus
You like to be in charge, but you’re terrified of change. The result? Stubbornness and fear. Still, whether you like it or not, the next few years will bring big changes and loads of opportunities; all you’ll need is the courage to seize them. Not that your life has been an easy one, by any means.
You have wonderful healing energies and intuitive gifts. But your focus on money — as in, never having enough — holds you back. Success and wealth are there for the taking, providing you can get out of your head long enough to take action. Career is important to you, so keep working while you rethink your life.
A solid belief system is vital to your success, so if you’re unsure, find a spiritual teacher to help you make the moves. Emotionally, you’re as afraid of commitment as you are of change. Even so, you’ll need to let go of a disturbing past if you’re hoping to flourish in the future. You’re much more powerful than you know. Find ways to develop your self-esteem, and resolve to make one tiny change every day. Start with the easy ones. And trust yourself to make good decisions, because you will.
