Some of your wilder ideas might be a bit risky today... You are usually able to talk yourself in and out of most situations, which is both a good and a bad thing, especially as your sensuality is sparkling today and you seem more than willing to try anything.

CANCER
When you find the right partner, you are always there for him, offering traditional values along with a voracious sexual appetite. What a turn-on! Today, though, there could be a misunderstanding - whatever you do, avoid alcohol and drug use and keep tight control of your emotions.

LEO
As one of the most romantic and sexy women of the zodiac, your man thinks you are a real catch (especially if you have the famous Leo mane of hair) and you just thrive on his attention as you flirt and take centre stage. Be alert to confusion over your relationship, joint finances and taxes. Is it better to stay independent at the moment?

VIRGO
Career-wise, your judgment is very sound - until you try to live up to the impossibly high standards others have of you. Follow your own ideas, beliefs and values. Love-wise, you seem a bit unpredictable today and moodier than usual, changing your opinions. It’s time to get out of your rut.

LIBRA
You are in Libra heaven today as everyone seems drawn to your lively, spontaneous personality. Today is all about the trappings of romance, like roses and champagne. It is important not to drink too much, and even prescription drugs could cause a reaction, so take care.

SCORPIO
You are a mixture of sultry intensity and deep, thoughtful emotions, but you're also energetic and full of ingenious ideas… intriguing! Do be careful with your relationships, though - if there is a lack of clarity about your latest man, you could become disillusioned. Give your intuition free rein.

SAGITTARIUS
There is no stopping you now - just don’t overreact when anyone disagrees or you think is trying to stop your progress. A family disagreement or lack of trust can disappoint you. Love-wise, if you can’t verbalise your feelings, let him know through touch and feel.

CAPRICORN

You're never very impulsive, but your bright logic brings wisdom, and your charm with colleagues means they are willing to help and support you. Love-wise, although you need freedom for yourself to travel and experiment with your ideas, you expect your man to be committed... Is he?

AQUARIUS
Laughter, vivacity and an independent spirit are your ways of dealing with life today. You might flirt and be sociable and friendly, but most of all you want freedom to do your own thing. You know that if your current relationship isn’t working, you’ll just move on - even if there is robust, hot sex.

PISCES
Your need for intellectual but emotional stimulation is overpowering your logic, but to other people you are your usual, nurturing loving self. As long as you don’t expect too much from the man in your life you’ll stay in love - and, as you are so appealing, it is easy for him to give you everything you want.

ARIES
Acting on your words, everyone knows exactly where they stand with you today. Never half-hearted, you put everything into your life in your usually vital way. If your man disagrees you’ll become angry and over-reactive. Relax! Red-hot sex will calm the situation.

TAURUS
Usually so dependable, today you want change, more variety from your work and to meet new men and friends in your life. Your ideas are more exciting and creative than usual, and your wicked sense of humour shines through, but togetherness seems to be missing today.

21 May 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/21-may-2012 GEMINI
The Solar eclipse is in your own sign bringing you creative, wild new energy and enthusiasm. Get your body into shape by enrolling in a gym and ensure you have a healthy diet. It's also a good day to get a new hairstyle or try a different style of dressing. You need excitement in your love life or you’ll soon get bored and restless.

CANCER
This eclipse is all about secrets... Is it time to let everyone in on your plans? You could hear something that is best kept confidential, but the knowledge is of great benefit to you. You will want to spend more time helping others, too. You're romantic, sensual and liberal - what more can a man ask?

LEO
Vital, flamboyant and enthusiastic, you act on your ideas before others have time to consider them. You could well be asked to join a group or organisation, and your social life is active and fun. The solar eclipse suggests it’s time to set your goals for the future. Love is all about choice.

VIRGO
The Solar eclipse urges you to look at your long-term goals and your career aspirations, and you could start your own business or promote your current one. Whatever you do now, you are being noticed, and could well be offered a promotion. You are sociable, but a bit moody, love-wise. Sex is fantastic, though.

LIBRA
More than usually feminine, your charm and sensitivity makes you say all the right things, especially to your chosen man. But is he really the one? Don’t settle for anything less than perfection. The Solar eclipse encourages you to take on further studies or travel abroad. Right now there are no limits...

SCORPIO
The eclipse in Gemini encourages you to look closely at your finances, and to see how you can make your money work for you. Love-wise, you are onto a winner, so project an air of mystery and intensity, but with the added dash of fun and vivacity. It's all about lust...

SAGITTARIUS
The Solar eclipse is putting the emphasis on your relationships with friends, colleagues, business partners as well as lovers. Be clear about who you are and what you want - you are fun, adventurous, have a great sense of humour, are very energetic and expect your man to be passionate and fiery. Do you really want commitment?

CAPRICORN
The Solar eclipse puts the focus on your work environment, and how productive and organised you are. Set yourself new goals including daily exercise and healthy diet, and give up smoking! You are brighter, more logical and more practical than usual. Your relationships have to be on your terms which, today, means being flexible.

AQUARIUS
It's time to let your creative talents have free rein, and the more spontaneous, lively and independent you are, the more you’ll achieve. Everyone, especially men, are drawn to your charm and flirtation. You need someone as eccentric as you who listens to his inner voice, but is also a robust lover.

PISCES
The eclipse of the Sun in Gemini makes you more talkative, wanting to share your ideas, and then you give nurturing, caring advice and solutions. You man will have to be able to share your adventurous imagination and inspire you to even greater heights. Does he adore you enough?

ARIES
Communication is key with the solar eclipse in Gemini, so buying a car, upgrading your computer or cell phone or taking a short trip to see friends or family are all possibilities. You could become more involved in neighbourhood affairs, while he must be as energetic, sexy and flirtatious as you.

TAURUS
Do you want change and variety or predictable security? The eclipse emphasises your values. Your pattern of income could change, and you could decide to buy luxury items instead of necessities. You offer your man loyalty, ideas and glamorous sex in exchange for love, family and the chance to pursue your ideas.

20 May 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/20-may-2012 TAURUS
As the Sun enters Gemini your self-esteem becomes more important. When you really value yourself as well as your possessions, your life becomes more exciting and fun. Try to see the big picture, not just as you view it personally, and you’ll soon reach your financial goals. Your love life becomes magical, too.

GEMINI
The Sun moves into your own sign today, making you very easy to get along with as you are the most talkative, but slightly evasive, sign in the zodiac. Being practical and patient will help make you more forceful and motivated. Sex is a turn-off if he’s not as quick as you.

CANCER
Whatever you do, don’t fall into the victim or worry trap as the Sun moves through Gemini. Try to focus on others rather than yourself - you have so much empathy that you can really help. It’ll be easy for your man to show sensitivity towards you. You are, after all, the very best sex teacher.

LEO
Even more sociable than usual as the Sun moves into Gemini, your liveliness and friendliness towards everyone are very noticeable, and generous hospitality becomes second nature. You are quite the party animal and very attractive, too, so expect to meet the right man to appear soon. Sex is rough, tough and exciting.

VIRGO
It’s time to look at the direction your life is taking - are you in the right career? Are you achieving your ambitions? You are getting noticed, but do you want this? You seem to be achieving financial stability, but don’t you want more? Let go of any obstacles that are holding you back, career or love-wise.

LIBRA
Your professional status is the focus. If necessary, take time to further your educational training. Do everything you can to broaden your outlook - read, study or travel abroad. Be outgoing and assertive. With your man, the better you make him feel, the more romantic he becomes.

SCORPIO
Family connections and business colleagues help you achieve the financial security you need. As the Sun moves through Gemini you’ll find it easier to focus and concentrate on the things you really want. Love and passion drive your sex life - if you want, it’s a win-win, long- lasting relationship.

SAGITTARIUS
This month is all about your influence over other people, and your ability to gain their co-operation. Try not to be too forceful or egotistical! Today, you are quite able to get everyone involved in your ideas, and your charisma will get you any man you want.

CAPRICORN
Be aware of your health and vitality, not just today but all month. You take far greater pride in your work than usual, and worry about the details and the small print. This is a great time to get dental work, a medical check and beauty treatments. A new love affair could get serious.

AQUARIUS
These next few weeks, while the Sun is in Gemini, see you pursuing everything you enjoy -having fun, social events and letting romance and passion take up more of your time. Will you show yourself as wild and independent, or conservative and reliable? Both are sides of your exotic personality.

PISCES
As the Sun moves into Gemini, your focus moves towards your home and family as well as showing yourself as a very supportive good friend to your love partner. He will realise you are the one to fulfil all his fantasies, and you’ll end up satisfying all your own cravings, too.

ARIES

The emphasis over these next few weeks is on communication - computers, cell phones and your car all become more important. Keep everything in good condition! Investigate before purchasing anything. Is your man as committed as you expect? Are you willing to stay? Think carefully. Sex is always a revelation.

19 May 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/19-may-2012 TAURUS
Relax into beautiful sexual tension which can easily be satisfied by your favourite man, though you aren’t averse to enjoying your own brand of sexual freedom if a committed partner isn’t around. Give yourself time to think about your financial situation, and how best to make it work for you.

GEMINI
Your wit and humour make you very popular, but can your man match you? If not, you’ll soon get bored. You are more passionate and sensual than usual this weekend, with an unusual (for you) depth of feeling. You might want to spend some time on your own, but avoid self-pity!

CANCER
When you settle for something less than you really want or deserve, you’ll soon feel resentful, so be open and honest with your man. You easily inspire your friends - think up some exciting social events without too much overeating or your figure will suffer.

LEO
You are extremely attractive, but will also be very wilful this weekend, and quite dramatic if you don’t get your own way. Does your man realise just how much you value commitment and that you are more serious than you let on? Tell him that reaching your career goals is really important.

VIRGO
You might be calm on the outside, but does your man realise just what a volcanic and seductive woman you really are, and that together you can reach heights of ecstasy he has never even dreamt about? Your creative imagination shines; what are you going to do
with it?

LIBRA
If possible, you need to be with your partner living the good life but, if there is no-one special around, you’ll be happy enjoying life on your own, spending on luxury and quality. Your sex life is exciting and unexpectedly inventive, perhaps with someone from a very different culture to yours.

SCORPIO
Love, romance and boundless sex appeal make today extremely exciting, and you can expect almost savage lovemaking. If you’ve found your soulmate, life gets even better. Friendships are just as important, though you might have to place restraints of the number of activities.

SAGITTARIUS
At work you realise that if your boss and colleagues don’t share the same values regarding financial matters, you’ll have to move on. Give yourself a break and think of your friends as well as your man. Relax, and have some fun and an adventure or two. In sex, when is enough enough?

CAPRICORN
Bright and flashy? No! But, sensual and hot? Yes - as long as you are with the man who appreciates your understanding, compassion and need for a stable life. When you are quietly at home with him, your creative imagination will flourish.

AQUARIUS
What is your mood today - are you in wild and lively mode, or are you conservative and quiet? You often give out mixed messages, and your poor friends don’t know what to expect. You’ll have to show that you are always caring and loving.

PISCES
You need a man who shares your creative sensitivity, and who is also imaginative, passionate and gentle. You need to be needed, and you expect your man to be the same so that you can please and pamper each other. Share your creative money-making ideas, and together you could go far.

ARIES
Having a stable and full bank balance as well as some good investments means you can relax and have fun, preferably with a fiery and energetic man. You will probably be even more than usually impulsive, and he will adore the exciting you.

18 May 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/18-may-2012 TAURUS
You look and feel beautiful today. You know exactly what you want, and are determined to have your way. You can use your charm and sensuality to get what you want, but try to see everything from others' point of view too. Use your sexuality to liberate yourself, and to totally tantalise him.

GEMINI
More sensual than usual, you still have that wit and sense of humour that make you very desirable, indeed. He must share your love of change, travel and of chatting and meeting people. Ideas are your reason to live, and your love life mimics this. Is it time to turn romance into a committed relationship?

CANCER
You manage to mix your intuitive, emotional feelings with some earthy sensuality. This works wonders for your love life, but also helps your friendships and business associations as they appreciate your down-to-earth pragmatism. Is your home life undergoing some changes? Stay calm!

LEO
You are still a flirt, but today you want more loyalty, and commitment seems to be calling. Career-wise, you want to know you are appreciated with the appropriate financial rewards. Let everyone know you keep up with the latest technology and have the requisite skills.

VIRGO
Lovely Virgo, you are always the carer and nurturer and even more so at the moment. Don’t martyr yourself, though - even you're allowed to break your diet with the occasional glass of champagne and chocolate (the finest, of course). Men are attracted to your deep sensuality, resulting in some ecstatic unions.

LIBRA
Today is all about romance and passion, but if he’s only interested in sport or drinking with the boys, then move on. Think carefully about your choice, especially if there is tension about a joint account or if one of you is spending more than the other. Extravagance will make matters worse.

SCORPIO
Are you finding your deep sex appeal combined with your penetrating intelligence a bit of a burden? Stability is one thing; being too fixated on making money, quite another. Business-wise, try not to overestimate the prospects, but don’t lose your confidence. Co-operation is essential.

SAGITTARIUS
Energy abounds today, and you are organised, focussed and ready to take your career prospects up a notch. Making money is important, but are you placing too much value on finance? Think about relationships, too, both with business colleagues and your partner. Luxurious sex is a must.

CAPRICORN
Your self-confidence is on the rise today, and your beauty is subtle, understated and sensual. Everyone is drawn to your appealing, nurturing nature, but not everyone agrees with your creative ideas and there could be opposition. If one door is closed, try another! In love, is this the real deal?

AQUARIUS
One minute you are wildly unpredictable, the next weirdly conservative which is quite confusing to those around you. Today you are stable and nurturing towards your lover, as if you are waiting for him to make the next move. He’d better be able to light your fire...

PISCES
Always sensual and attractive, it is your ideas that are the main focus today. You take the leadership role in meetings and groups, as well as when planning social events for this weekend. However, not everyone agrees, so listen and be more understanding. Sexually, you're demanding - the question is, who will please who the most?

ARIES
You won’t put up with opposition today, especially at work where you feel you know exactly what will make money, what will work and what should be discarded. Your man needs to understand your need for action. Love is carnal rather than romantic.

17 May 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/17-may-2012 TAURUS
Use your enthusiasm and energy to take control of your life and to let go of anything that is holding you back. Move the goal posts if necessary. If you are spending too much time on your hobbies instead of your work, now is the time to get organised. Love-wise, romance rules.

GEMINI
It is absolutely no use feeling sorry for yourself because you’ve used all your energy on the wrong goals. You now have responsibilities to consider. Look at your creative talents - can they be turned into something useful long-term? Romance and love bring security and a happy balance between your work and your social life.

CANCER
It is time to move on with your life. You have the energy and the intensity, and intuitively know exactly what people want. Your home life might be a bit disappointing or restrictive, so improve the domestic environment with understanding, commitment and caring. There is passion, but is he sensitive enough?

LEO
You can’t decide whether to expand your horizons, travel abroad or learn new techniques, especially if responsibilities at home are restricting you. What will really fulfil your needs? In the meantime, prioritise - is your car in good working order? Your enthusiasm for carnal lovemaking doesn’t diminish.

VIRGO
It's time to get your finances in order, even if this means changing your goals and letting go of ideas that no longer work. What does financial security mean to you? Don’t let your fears stop you achieving material success. Love-wise, let your sense of humour shine if you want your creative passions to ignite.

LIBRA
Now is the time to look at your personality. If you have a poor self-image, remember you are a beautiful balance of femininity and masculinity. You can do or be anything you choose, so get your body and soul into gear. Love-wise, your sensuality is burning. Be as aggressive as he is!

SCORPIO
Today you want to be with friends as well as your special man, and Saturn demands that you spend some time alone or that you help someone who is ill or in difficulty. Do what has to be done with good grace, and you’ll be rewarded. Love is emotional, but still enviably active.

SAGITTARIUS
Happiness comes through your relationships - with colleagues, business associates as well as friends. When you view these with maturity rather than just for fun or for your own benefit, your life will be richer and smoother. Flirtatious romance rules your sex life.

CAPRICORN
The harder you work, the more easily you’ll achieve, but Jupiter is urging you to have more fun in your life. You’ll have to find the right balance. You have the energy to do it all, and to attract the people into your life who give you pleasure - including the right man.

AQUARIUS
Saturn is urging you to participate in more cultural pursuits and to pursue further training. Jupiter suggests you start a new business venture, maybe from home, or try a new career. Whatever you decide to do, you offer loyalty and passion - though you do get bored easily. He'd better be pretty special!

PISCES
If your knowledge of computers and the latest technology isn’t up to scratch, now is the time to learn these skills. Saturn is also urging you to be resourceful if you want to achieve financial independence. Sexually, you’ll know if he’s the right man as your libido will begin to spark.

ARIES
You judge your relationships by the heat of your passion, and Saturn is burdening you and your partner with added responsibilities and different opinions on how to handle them. Jupiter warns about overspending, and a whirlwind romance could take off, but will it be worth it? Think carefully.

16 May 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/16-may-2012 TAURUS
You seek emotional and material security, and those of you in a committed relationship seem happier and more confident than usual. Opportunities abound for singles to find a suitable match, too. Be patient - you will reach your business goals, but maybe not just yet...

GEMINI
It's time to strike a happy balance between your work and your social life. You are more than usually competitive today and, despite your innate charm, this comes through. Passion is prominent in your love life, but keep it light and fun as he’ll resent any efforts to change him.

CANCER
Just hope your partner can stand the heat as you demand that your ideas are appreciated and that your sexual excesses are met. Perhaps some time alone together will bring some peace and harmony. You can convince him of anything... Career-wise, patience is necessary.

LEO
In terms of your career, your latest and most innovative ideas rekindle your passion. Further training or travelling abroad to gain more experience are possible, and once you decide on a course of action, it’s impossible to make you divert from it. You offer your lover passion and caring, but is he worth it?

VIRGO
You're more reactive, passionate and emotional than usual, and you might have to explain to your partner that it’s just a mood and not a permanent change in your personality. You’ll want some fun and games in your love life, and a few toys could help. Your career brings a good balance between work and financial rewards.

LIBRA
This is a good time to ask yourself what exactly it is you want from your relationships - passion? Financial security? Freedom? Romance? You can attract everything you want into your life now, both career-wise as well as in all your relationships. It’s time for a happy balance.

SCORPIO
The last thing you want in your life is a relationship with someone superficial. You need depth, someone who cares about the same things as you do and with whom you can share power and enjoy a tight emotional bond. In the meantime, indulge in some naughty sex.

SAGITTARIUS
Can you count on your partner to be loyal, athletic, fun, as well as being a successful human dynamo? No? Oh well, you get bored easily anyway, so just enjoy what he does offer until you are ready to move on to the next potential Mr. Right. Your innovative ideas make your career and daily work very successful.

CAPRICORN
Your life is structured and you enjoy commitment, tradition and material security which makes you a safe option, but suddenly you are full of energy and power and ready for some unexpected changes in your life. You want the things that give you pleasure, for once...

AQUARIUS
Your approach to life is never dull, and today it seems almost OTT - exciting, innovative and passionate. You have some very creative ideas, and you're ready to explore, travel or learn new skills. Your man has to be there for you, or you’ll just move on. Erotic sex still excites though.

PISCES
Your compassion is a winner today, but not if you choose a partner who is too needy and has too many problems. Take control - you need someone strong, independent and supportive. Your interesting ideas for making money could be just what is needed.

ARIES
You're hot, hot, hot and you expect your man to be just like you. You're ready and able whenever, as often you’re your buzzing libidos demand. Don’t neglect the rest of your life! Your interesting financial ideas are beginning to work, and your health is improving. Let your passion for life rule.

15 May 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/15-may-2012 TAURUS
You seem more fiery than usual today, and you're full of energy and ready to take the lead. Just don’t become too emotional when not everyone is ready to follow you yet... Don’t worry if you think you're a bit overweight; just revel in your sensuality - as your man does.

GEMINI
Your enthusiasm for life is infectious as your friends enjoy your passion and wit, and business associates and groups are interested in your latest ideas. In your love life you don’t want anyone being clingy or full of self-pity otherwise you’ll soon send him packing. He has to be sexually tireless, too!

CANCER
Everything about you is a bit OTT today, and the depth of your feeling can lead you into difficult situations as you veer from being nurturing and understanding to explosive anger. Let your self-esteem and confidence show, and forgive and forget old hurts and wounds. Is your man sensitive enough for you?

LEO
You are warm and compassionate, and you attract everyone to you. This might not be good for your love life as it confuses your emotions. Beware of acting too impulsively, but let your innate loyalty shine, too. Sex is vigorous.

VIRGO
Does the man in your life share your need for tradition and loyalty, and appreciate your caring and passion? You come across as quite conservative, but this belies your enjoyment of macho sex. Today, though, he easily gets the message. Watch your verbal arrows!

LIBRA
You are highly romantic, soft and feminine - most of the time - but today you show passion and sensuality, and attract men who don't realise that you can also erupt in fiery emotion. If he is a real man he’ll find you extremely exciting; otherwise, he’ll just slink away.

SCORPIO
Always magnetic, today there is even greater depth as you stand up for what you think is right, confronting everything in a direct and emotional way. Bosses, beware - Ms Scorpio won’t stand for injustice to her or her colleagues. You give the same loyalty and passion to your man, but expect exotic sex in return.

SAGITTARIUS
Today you want action rather than words as you pursue your career goals, but if anyone stands in your way you won’t hesitate to say exactly what you think. Love should be fun rather than overly emotional, and you are loyal as long as he treats you as an equal. Creativity wins today.

CAPRICORN
You are far more energetic than usual, encouraging your colleagues towards greater achievements and taking a few risks in a creative way. Love-wise, you are turned on by power and he probably appreciates your hotter-than-usual temperament today. Try not to get too impatient at home.

AQUARIUS
Never conventional, today you have even more courage than usual. You don’t need anyone to criticise you or give their opinion, but to leave you the space to make your own decisions. This might not go down too well at work... Your man needs to share your sense of humour.

PISCES
Always quite emotionally heavy, there is a fiery intensity about you today. You want action, to get things done, and to make as much money as possible, but this outer toughness belies your inner frailty. Your lover has to understand your changes of temperament with tender love.

ARIES
You are hotter than ever today; not just in your tempestuous love life, but in everything you do. Nothing can hold you back, and your impulsive spirit leads you. Passion flares, but keep it under control or he won’t realise just how caring and committed you really are.

Let Mars, Mercury, Pluto and the Moon all help to empower you. Your creative juices are flowing, and you excel in groups of like-minded people whether exercising, having an adventure, socialising or co-operating on a work project. Loves spells romance, fun and some mega sex.

GEMINI
Career-wise, an opportunity for a new business idea could come up now, either as a partnership or as a joint venture. Check that you share the same financial values, and remember that borrowed money has to be paid back with interest... Commitment isn’t always your strong point, whether in love or in business.

CANCER
It's a great day to put your ideas forward, so arrange meetings and discussion groups while the excitement is growing. You can easily persuade everyone to listen, and they’ll probably agree to everything you say, too. Today is an 'all or nothing' kind of day, in love as well as in business.

LEO
Passion rises as you want your man to be romantic, passionate and to match your own 'drama queen' personality. Unrestrained lovemaking renews your energy levels, but do watch your finances... Work overtime or take on a second job, but don’t become over-tired or it just won’t be worth it. Aim for balance.

VIRGO
Accidents could happen if you aren’t careful, and you might get a headache, a toothache or even a fever. The good news is that your horizons are widening as you meet new people, maybe from overseas or from a different background or culture. Your kindness and compassion rub off on to him. Expect unpredictable, exciting love-making.

LIBRA
Your love life is exciting, but remember to watch your sexual health! Don’t take unnecessary risks just for fun, no matter what he offers. If you're thinking about surgery of some kind, research first and get a second opinion to make sure it is absolutely necessary. And choose the right doctor!

SCORPIO
You aren’t the one to hold back in your love relationships. He appreciates your loyalty, your love and your depth of character, but is he capable of the same feelings? You can’t last in a relationship with somebody superficial, however much fun it is in the beginning. Be decisive in all things today.

SAGITTARIUS
Love is difficult for you at the moment as you want someone there all the time, but you still need your freedom. Encourage him to go out with his friends and to watch or play sport so that you too can see your girl friends for a laugh and don’t become moody and pressurised. Love and sex are athletic, to say the least.

CAPRICORN
You seem more than usually emotional today, but don't let it show! Let everyone, especially at work, see you as organised and successful rather than shrill and angry. Find the solutions to all your problems, be decisive and there’ll be no reason for tantrums. You need an equally powerful man to satisfy you tonight.

AQUARIUS
Today sees you more than usually emotional, but intuitive and capable of seeing the bigger picture. Your creative talents should be put to good use now to make money and bring you the independence you want. Your man appreciate the softer you today, and your sex life looks inspired.

PISCES
At work you can make your innovative ideas work for you. Set up meetings and toss your ideas around. Listen, learn and talk. Keep a close eye on your documents, computer and cell phone, and watch your driving too, especially if your mind is on your love life.

ARIES
Finances are important today, and you find exciting and innovative ways of earning more as your business interactions are successful, you have great new ideas and the confidence to see them through. Don’t overreact when things don’t work out fast enough for you. Your man will help to de-stress you.

You are more easygoing and understanding with your friends and partner than usual today, and you show more empathy towards your family, too. Your goals and vision could be changing as you finish a project and are ready to move on. Socially, this is a busy weekend. Love-wise, things are playful.

GEMINI
Talk about your feelings today so that everyone knows what's going on - just keep it light and a bit funny, especially if you are talking to your partner about commitment. You have to be ready or the relationship will fail, especially if you still have career goals to fulfil. Sex is fun and exciting - lucky man!

CANCER
The last thing you want today is people around you who need your support as you are even more vulnerable than usual. But if your friends uplift you and your man offers emotional as well as material support, you'll soon be laughing again. Do try to control your emotions, though.

LEO
Always a demanding presence, today you are more emotional, even feeling a bit isolated and alone. You can offer nurturing and caring, but you must let others heal themselves and find their own wholeness, too. Is your man dramatic, fun and generous enough for you? If so, he
can expect unrestrained lovemaking.

VIRGO
You offer compassion and loyalty, but you are moodier than usual. Perhaps you feel he has been taking advantage of your need to be of service and to help and look after him? Stand up for yourself and let him see just what a beautiful, dynamic woman you are - and that you're willing to let him go if he doesn’t shape up...

LIBRA
Romance wins this weekend so let your charm, softness and feminine self rule. Men will find you irresistible - just don’t do anything to make your partner jealous, even if you are feeling a bit indecisive. Avoid arguments as you’ll only end up with a headache.

SCORPIO
You are very sensitive to the feelings of everyone around you today, and you're soft, loving and more feminine than usual. To the men you meet, you have a magical intensity; an unnerving sensuality that holds the promise of sexual riches. Is he strong enough for you?

SAGITTARIUS
You seem more fragile than usual today. You're still funny, sexy and strong, but perhaps more moody and even inclined to whine. You need your man to remind you just how sexy and attractive you are. If he doesn’t come up with the goods, you’ll just have to remind him...

CAPRICORN
You're in the mood to have fun, socialise, shop as well as take a few risks. You need him to be a powerful support, but if he strays your soft, loving nature will disappear so he’d better watch out. You are in the mood to throw quite a tantrum if he upsets you in any way.

AQUARIUS
You are ready to offer love, nurturing and warmth, but your intuition is very sharp and if warned of danger you’ll retreat in a very unemotional way. If your man is your real friend, totally devoted and supporting, then you are ready to go to the ends of the earth for him. Eroticism rules.

PISCES
Charismatic and magnetic, you attract men like bees to the honey-pot this weekend. The problem is that you are so loving and empathic towards everyone, most men don’t realise that they aren’t, in fact, the chosen one... Try to cool it a bit!

ARIES
There is a charisma about you at the moment and you are in romantic mode, waiting to be saved from danger by your beloved. Reality creeps into every relationship and you’ll soon get tired of hard luck stories… If he is strong and exciting enough for you, love will win.

12 May 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/12-may-2012 TAURUS
Your optimism shines through everything you do, but do be careful not to be too opinionated as this could put others off. Keep up with the latest technology so that you don’t get left behind. Understanding each other’s attitude towards finance is important - even amazing, innovative sex won’t solve that problem...

GEMINI
You seem happier at work today as you overcome problems. You could be offered an increase, but maybe not the title, or offered the title but for no more money. The health of someone close should improve, and you’ll be able to stop worrying. Your partner’s generosity is balm to your soul.

CANCER
Sensitive, loving and caring, and also more sensual today, you still manage to retain your wicked sense of humour. However, you do need someone who will care for you and nurture you, especially in your 'poor me' days. Does he encourage your ambitions and goals? Your business associates do.

LEO
You're even more forceful than usual, and every head seems to turn towards you when you walk into the room. Make sure your man knows the difference between your offers of friendship and love, otherwise jealousy could rear its ugly head. You need your space today.

VIRGO
Success at work brings personal growth, too, and you usually find the solution to any problem. You feel quite cool today, and not overly emotional, but also a bit zany which keeps him interested even though he feels rejected. Sex is surprisingly good, though.

LIBRA
You are more flirty than ever, showing yourself as sweet, feminine and easygoing - so don’t be surprised if there are many potential lovers on the horizon. The bad news is that you aren’t in particularly faithful mode. But, as long as he brings the champagne, roses and romance, you’ll stay...

SCORPIO
You don’t want light flirtation, you want intense, exotic love with a man who can match your intellect. Travelling, learning, broadening your minds together and enjoying every new experience is your idea of heaven. Your home and family need some input, though - don’t neglect them!

SAGITTARIUS
Everyone knows you can make your own decisions and take care of yourself in your usual loud and egocentric way. But you are also the most fun, generous lover of the zodiac - even if you are always ready to move on to the next new thing. A new work project looks exciting, and you’re full of ideas.

CAPRICORN
Always a bit introverted, the man in your life will have to be quite wise, quiet, practical – and a very good provider! You do your best to help today – you aren’t afraid of hard work yourself, and are always ready to get stuck into everything that needs to be done. It’s time to let him light your fire…

AQUARIUS
More than usually self-centered today, you are the important person in your life. Men are very drawn to you as you offer excitement and adventure, and you certainly don’t want anyone needy around. You are ready for a new project, business venture. Is there time for sex?

PISCES
It’s hard today - you look so dreamy, almost ethereal so everyone is surprised when you come out with some cool and very rational ideas. It’s time to widen your circle of contacts so approach business associates, exchange ideas and information. Your sensual imagination is on a roll...

ARIES
Always passionate, today you have more raw energy than usual. You’ll succeed in making money, but you do need to ensure that you invest wisely rather than just shop until you drop. Does your man share your impulsive spirit? If not, be prepared for opposition – which could end in a very sexual reconciliation!

11 May 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/11-may-2012 TAURUS
As Mars moves into your sign you will start to feel more energetic, impatient, restless and wanting to make your life the way you want it to be. Your vision becomes clearer as you see the end results and figure out how to make them your reality. In love, do you need to be more giving and less controlling?

GEMINI
Mars moving into Taurus makes you more secretive and not wanting everyone to know what you're up to. It's time to use your inner strength in a positive way, perhaps working with a charity or helping someone who is ill. Love means laughter which, for you, could mean you are in it for the long-term.

CANCER
Instead of thinking about it, it's time to take a more active role in your life and in that of your friends, clubs and business associates. You know what you want and how to get it. Co-operation is the key to your happiness now. In love, you are in teaching mode – lucky him!

LEO
It is time to promote yourself and your career ambitions because your actions now will have great impact on your future. Put yourself in the public eye, and make sure you are seen and heard in the right places. Have faith: you can do it! You need your man’s support, and the two of you shine together.

VIRGO
You are inspired in so many different ways that it's hard for you to know which direction to take. Follow your heart and your passion for further study, foreign languages, international travel, writing or publishing. Your love-life seems more stimulating, and lust calls.

LIBRA
You will be more intense and passionate about everything you do now that Mars has moved into Taurus. Property, shared resources (both relationship and business) become more important than usual, and you could receive an inheritance. Confrontation stimulates your love life.

SCORPIO
Mars is energizing your relationships in love as well as in business, and new ventures and partnerships will be entered into with enthusiasm. You want and need others around you, but you aren't very good at listening. You might fall in love at first sight, but will he fulfil your insatiable appetite?

SAGITTARIUS
Mars is energizing your everyday work responsibilities and bringing new enthusiasm, and there is the possibility of a business trip or the opportunity to do some extra studying. There are still important things happening at home with your family; don’t neglect your man or your own needs.

CAPRICORN
Mars is bringing new energy to all aspects of your life, and telling you that now is the time to pursue whatever you find pleasurable whether it's a holiday, developing your creative talents or bringing new romance and love into your life. Don’t be too capricious if you want your man to stay.

AQUARIUS
Your family and your home are the main focus of Mars moving into Taurus, and you may decide to purchase a property, renovate or decorate your present home. A home-based business venture is given a boost. Love is lively, demanding, big and bold.

PISCES
As Mars joins the Sun in Taurus you are busy, busy, busy, and will accomplish everything you set out to do. The trouble is you have far too many new ideas. Even your love life has no restraints - just don’t get over-tired. Give yourself time to relax or you’ll suffer burn-out.

ARIES
Your personal planet, Mars, moves into Taurus bringing even more financial inspiration and energy, and is getting stronger every day this month. Use your creative talents, but don’t forget to listen to advice from experts – the more knowledge you have, the better. Love at first sight? Beware.

There is balance and harmony at work, and there’s the chance of your income being increased as your high principles, values and hard work are all recognised. Your health is good, and it shows in your skin, hair and general health as you look more beautiful than ever. Let him do the worshipping!

GEMINI
If you’ve been a bit of a butterfly in your love life, now is the time for your romantic adventures to turn more stable and long-lasting. You attract more sincere men into your life, and you give rather than taking. Develop your creative talents in a serious way, and you’ll easily make more money.

CANCER
The more stable and relaxed your home life is, the more you’ll personally grow and develop in every way. If you decide to move home, you’ll find one now that fulfils your need for a beautiful, peaceful environment. Your intuition is strong, so use it. Love is all about carnal sex.

LEO
The more organised and efficient you make your meetings and discussions, the more you’ll achieve. Learning new skills to keep you up-to-date with the latest computer software is vital, too. Get your car serviced and kept in good condition (check tyres, wind screen wipers, etc.). Keep love private.

VIRGO
Now is the time to look at your attitude towards money. When your values are in sync with your financial dealings, you can expect to earn more. And if your ambitions have made you neglect your love relationships, now is the time to get them back on track. Sex could be explosive again.

LIBRA
You'll achieve balance and harmony in everything you do when you develop a strong self- image. You look absolutely beautiful, so go on with your life, making your own decisions and being pro-active with your health and fitness. Bolster your, man too - together you can take on the world.

SCORPIO
It is no good feeling sorry for yourself or spending time alone. Common goals and shared values with your lover, your family and colleagues are all important now. Use your huge inner strength to deal with all circumstances. You are brave and strong! Love is a magnetic mystery.

SAGITTARIUS
It’s time to cut down your list of ‘friends’ and see who really is worthy of the title. Focus on the relationships that are truly meaningful. Being part of the group is necessary to you, but only if the group is worthwhile. Love is an exhibition.

CAPRICORN
You are very likely to get everything you’ve worked for now. If you haven’t already set your long-term goals, now is the time. Make your own decisions - you have the maturity, and are gaining the experience. Luck is with you, and love is an extraordinary journey. Enjoy!

AQUARIUS
You take on more responsibility now as but your creative talents are honed and your imagination runs riot. You know you can do anything you set your mind to, including travelling and broadening your horizons. Life is for living, and you should embrace it now. You're just materialistic enough to enjoy your life. Erotic experiences win.

PISCES
It is time to demand that you keep to your own values rather than letting others impose theirs on you. Looking after both your money and assets both for yourself and others is likely as you are resourceful, but know it’s essential to be totally honest. Sexual encounters will be far more romantic than you expect.

ARIES
You will be less inflexible and austere than usual, despite added responsibilities. You are more than usually willing to compromise and share, and rather than using relationships to help you up the success ladder, real love is coming your way. Even the most extreme fantasy could be satisfied now...

9 May 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/9-may-2012 TAURUS
It’s time to be honest about what you want - not demanding or pushy, but straightforward with a bit of charm. This goes for work as well as with your man. Everyone will be impressed with what they learn about you, and most of all with your intellect and conduct. You want the best, so look and act it! Sensual sex rules.

GEMINI
Your personal planet has moved into Taurus, encouraging you to keep your thoughts and even your actions private. Someone from your past could enter your life again, but is this a welcome move? It's your choice... Learn from the past; you don’t have to relive it.

CANCER
Mercury joins the Sun and Jupiter in Taurus, making your personal network of friends and business associates even more important. This is a good time to get involved in business associations and clubs, and to take a more active part in meetings and discussions. Sex is mind-blowing.

LEO
Your views and ideas will be more public now that Mercury has moved into Taurus. Expand your knowledge, learn new skills and participate in meetings. You could receive a promotion or an offer of a new job - visualise your future and go for it! You need your man to share your ambitions. Sex is daring.

VIRGO
Your personal planet has moved into Taurus, and you no longer are interested in the mundane. You want to broaden your interests, fly off to distant lands, meet and talk to people from different countries and learn a new language or philosophy. It’s time to plan your holiday or even move. Sex a bit static? It’ll improve soon.

LIBRA
Look at your talents and range of skills - do these satisfy your ambitions? If not, you need to widen your scope, especially if joint finances need to be considered, too. Look at your investments and call in any money owed. In sex, you aren’t interested in coy lovemaking - you need something raunchy!

SCORPIO
The next few weeks are all about joint ventures and partnerships. It’s time to negotiate the terms and conditions to suit yourself rather than anyone else. Meet up with experts and consultants and gather all the info you need online, too. You seem almost obsessed by your man, and he by you. Great sex is on its way.

SAGITTARIUS
The move of Mercury into Taurus makes you worry more about your health. The answer is to keep your life simple, organised and to stick to as much routine as possible at home and at work. Having a big and bold love affair will help, too. Take the lead if he isn’t forthcoming.

CAPRICORN
This is a good time to clear the air with your romantic partner and discuss plans for the future. If you just want to have fun rather than commitment, then tell him (and vice versa). Plan a trip and social events. Have some fun. Let your lovemaking be lighter than usual, too.

AQUARIUS
Discuss your home, renovations, décor and whether or not this is the right time to sell, buy or rent. Family discussions will be very beneficial, too. Now is the time to purchase a new home computer or other communication devices. Love is a bit of a battleground, and sex is explosive.

PISCES
You might have to do some travelling over the next couple of weeks so make sure your car is in good condition. Ideas are flowing, and meetings and discussions do really well. You could hear some good news about one of your siblings or a neighbour. Sex-wise, you seem hungrier than usual.

ARIES
Discussing finance is your priority over these next few weeks. Gather as much information as you can and compare prices, especially on any big purchases. Don’t buy computers or even a car without researching first. Love will fade if you don’t share the same values. Sexually, you are in fighting spirit.

8 May 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/8-may-2012 TAURUS
Try to be patient, no matter how hard. Be honest about your feelings, but keep them under control as losing your cool is a no-no today. Love-wise, confusion reigns, especially if your approach to finance is different from him. Relax and discuss. Your libido needs satisfying, and eroticism rules.

GEMINI
Today, you need your partner to support your ambitions and goals, and an essential part of any love relationship is to help keep your nerves under control as you reach for the stars. This will then awaken your libido. Gemini is very controlling and, even in the bedroom, you decide the pace.

CANCER
Don’t fly into a rage at home, no matter how much you are provoked. Be tolerant with your partner and family as excessive displays of emotion will be considered self-indulgence and simply be ignored. You might feel that colleagues are holding back your career aspirations. Just wait a few days.

LEO
Focus on your career goals today, using your creative talents and learning new skills if necessary. Be as charming and enthusiastic as you can - this is one of the best days all month, so make the most of it! Sexually, you can say exactly what you want. Be as extravagant and glamorous as you like.

VIRGO
With the Moon in good aspect to your personal planet today, your intuition is highly tuned so that you understand what is going on without having to be told. This certainly helps your love relationship. Love-wise, be direct and enthusiastic, and he’ll be totally turned on.

LIBRA
Tell your man just how wonderful he is and give him a huge boost of self-confidence (everyone needs this, no matter how successful they are). Today is probably not the best day to make your mind up about commitment. Think a bit more; it will be clearer tomorrow. In sex, don’t limit yourself.

SCORPIO
A difference of opinion over financial and other values could mar either a love relationship or a business partnership. You need to clear the air before you get ill with worry. Don’t overreact, though! A spirit of calm will get you further than anger will. Don't share love - not that this is likely...

SAGITTARIUS
This is a good time to sort out your work routines and priorities, so keep your desk tidy, put your filing away and sort through your computer files. It will help you stay less stressed and give you more time for the important stuff. You feel entitled to have it all – as you should.

CAPRICORN
You're ambitious, so let your wacky sense of humour take you even higher up the career ladder. Over-indulgence might be hard to avoid today - as long as it isn’t a habit, just go with the flow and live the good life in excess. You’re more audacious than usual in the bedroom, and glamour rules.

AQUARIUS
Have fun, invite friends home this evening or spend time with your family. Discuss your work with colleagues, and explain your creative ideas. Don’t get upset if they don’t understand or you think they are trying to stand in your way. In love, you feel like a total winner.

PISCES
Your business life seems to be filled with meetings and discussions. It certainly isn’t the day to work on your own - the more you work with others, the more you'll succeed. Does someone owe you money? Be patient, but don’t ignore the problem. An argument with your man brings about a passionate response.

ARIES
A good day all-round, though you have to be more tolerant and patient with your man and other close relationships today. Doing the opposite of what the experts say regarding your finances? Be very sure so that it doesn't end in a loss! There are no rules in your love life either, and anything goes.

7 May 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/7-may-2012 TAURUS
Ultra-sensitive today, you hear the emotional undercurrents in everything that’s going on around you. Try not to overreact or work too hard. Use your creative talents in your own individual way to make life easier for you, not more difficult! Is he bringing you the good life, and if not, why not?

GEMINI
You have some very innovative ideas to bring spontaneity to your love life, and it's a win-win situation as you fit together like pieces of a puzzle. Work-wise, you seem a bit confused and uncertain about the future. That goes for everyone in these uncertain financial times. All you can do is your best.

CANCER
You need a man who isn’t upset by your moods and the way you take life so seriously. Today it seems he is such a paragon that you’ll be able to indulge in your favourite, wild, no-rules kind of lovemaking. Are you upset by the behaviour of a friend or group? Don’t overreact - it will be fine in a couple of days.

LEO
Today is all about excitement - at work where your career moves upwards, socially and especially in your love life. Today is all about glamour, from silky underwear to satin sheets, scented candles to exotic perfume. Love-wise, you need fun - and he’d better be able to keep up with your demands!

VIRGO
Quite a dilemma you are in as Jupiter and the Sun suggest you travel while the Moon wants you to be settled. The solution? Travel together – or, at least explore new philosophies and cultures as your horizons broaden. All you have to do is sort out the finances.

LIBRA
Finance-wise, now is the time to research, go online, ask questions and study the markets if you want the best return on your hard earned money. Listen to the experts - can you afford to take risks, or do you want to save for the future? Communication is key. Drive extra carefully today!

SCORPIO
Joint ventures and partnerships go well, and seem to be the way forward to ensure you make the most money despite a few frustrations. Keep your individuality, though, as you have great ideas. Love is passionate and extremely erotic which suits you very well.

SAGITTARIUS
As the Moon is in your own sign, you will probably overreact to everything. Happiness bubbles over, and then sadness sends you into despair. Your creative talents are innovative, but may not be accepted by everyone. Don’t be frustrated, tomorrow should be easier. Magical sex revitalises all your senses.

CAPRICORN
Your wit is sharper than ever, and will help you reach your ambitious goals, though it might be best not to talk about your latest ideas just yet. Is your partner on your intellectual wave- length? If not, you’ll soon get bored, no matter how turned on he makes you.

AQUARIUS
You're open about your lust, and you need a man who is equally sexy. Try not to analyse him or his performance - just go with it. The trouble is you are turned on by macho, rough types who must also have a couple of University degrees... not easy to find! The good news is that you look amazing, even if you feel like you're having a bad hair day.

PISCES
Use your intuitive powers rather than getting aggressive when you don’t understand what’s going on. Your career is moving forward, especially if you are keeping up with the latest technology and skills. If not, it’s time to develop your knowledge. You don’t want glamour today; just wild messiness.

ARIES
Ignoring all the small print and petty detail can get you into trouble. Jupiter is bringing money, but is taking it out of your account just as fast. Keep an eye on all your accounts and credit cards. You won’t follow any rules in your love life either - lucky him!

The Full Moon might seem romantic, but it can cause tension - especially if you become too full of your own opinions. Even if he disagrees with your ideas, it won’t help to threaten to leave as you’ll be the one who gets stressed. The sex will be awesome, though!

GEMINI
If you are too demanding of your colleagues or try to use emotional blackmail, it will only result in you getting stressed and ill, so don’t waste your time or energy. Try to appreciate what everyone is doing to help you by being friendly and co-operative. Love is much better, and he can’t get enough of you.

CANCER
There could be a bit of a tug-of-war going on inside - which do you want, love or friendship? Spend time alone, trying to decide (especially if he’s a well-kept, sexy secret at the moment.). Discuss your ideas at work to bring you up another rung on the career ladder.

LEO
Your career goals are very important and the financial rewards look extremely promising. Your home, family and partner may be taking more of your money and savings than you can really afford. Keep a close eye on your credit cards. Sexually, he owes you - it’s fantasy time!

VIRGO
More than usually complex today, you want far more control than usual. Try to keep your remarks light-hearted and friendly rather than critical, whether at work or with your man. Develop your talents, both at work and in bed. Passion rules!

LIBRA
Even if he is misbehaving, it doesn’t mean you should do the same - unless you don’t mind if the relationship ends! You could try talking to him. It’s probably all a mistake, anyway. Let love rule - you are, after all, the perfect partner. When it comes to finances, it's a really good day.

SCORPIO
The Full Moon in your own sign could mean your emotions are bubbling, moody and dark. Don’t spend too much time alone today; instead, let others stimulate you, broaden your knowledge and bring you new experiences. Your magnetic charm is totally captivating, and you can dictate all the moves.

SAGITTARIUS
The Full Moon could easily be causing you a bit of stress. Try to go with the flow and keep to your daily routine. Consider advanced training and learning new skills to keep up with the demands of your job. Love and romance are waiting, and it’s time to shine.

CAPRICORN
Feeling stressed because of tension between your partner and friends, or because you can’t decide if you want him as a sexual partner or just a good friend? You need your man to make you feel good and ease any stresses in your life, as well as being sexually dominating. That’s quite a list - go for it!

AQUARIUS
Always interested in causes, you expect him to join you in whatever interests you at the moment, and you're ready to run off without a backward glance. The problem of the Full Moon today is whether to concentrate on your career or to follow your heart. Romance and passion meet.

PISCES
Developing your knowledge and skills is important, so exchange ideas, widen your circle of contacts and gather as much info as you can. The Full Moon suggests you don’t exaggerate or overestimate your abilities. The Full Moon also makes your love life highly emotional, but a winner, sexually.

ARIES
Mars rules both your sign and Scorpio, and with the Full Moon in Scorpio you seem ready to burst into anger at any given moment. Passion rules, but the slightest criticism, especially over financial issues, will make you go OTT. Sex will be deep, profound and outrageous.

5 May 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/5-may-2012 Your love life looks a bit dramatic as you want and need emotional support from your man. If this isn’t there, you could expect your mother to provide it, instead. You need active, adventurous group energy like sport, exercise, noisy friends, and a hot man.

GEMINI
Your personal planet opposes Saturn today, so try to stay open-minded and don't be too judgmental of your friends. Acting in the spirit of agreement and compromise will help you to be the real leader. You're usually quite gregarious, but you prefer to be alone with your man.

CANCER
Relax, have some fun and use your creative talents in whatever area fulfils you the most. Expect a bit of opposition from your partner or family about your career goals, especially if you’re embarking on a new scheme. Explain that you have to follow your dream. Love has to be sensitive.

LEO
You are focussing on your goals and dreams, but not everyone seems to support your aspirations. Don’t just agree with them - listen, make sure you have all the info, and then do what you want. Your travel plans may have to be delayed. Don’t fret, just go with the flow. Satisfy your fantasies as well as his.

VIRGO
You could have itchy feet, wanting to travel and study abroad, but Saturn opposed by Mercury (your personal planet) is warning you to get your finances in order first. Stressed? Invite friends over; some stimulating conversation will help. In love, you need excitement.

LIBRA
Finances are looking good today as your dreams are coming to fruition, but Saturn is warning you not to spend unwisely. Saturn also warns you not to neglect your responsibilities in the pursuit of money, or to let your high standards and values down. Trust rather than jealousy will win.

SCORPIO
Today should be all about love, paying attention to his needs, appreciating him and letting him show you how much he loves you. Be confident and make sure you look your best. It’s vital that you don’t let anyone bring you down so only associate with upbeat, supportive friends.

SAGITTARIUS
It’s difficult to concentrate on the things that make you happy as the role you play in the lives of your friends, family and lover do not seem as fulfilling or rewarding as you’d hoped. Don’t worry or become stressed if they don’t agree with all your ideas - they have their own opinions. Sex is great, though!

CAPRICORN
Your role in the lives of your friends and groups is very important, but your family and colleagues may have a different viewpoint. You might not like what they say but listen, digest and only then decide if you need to change. Lusty sex is a winner tonight.

AQUARIUS
Your responsibilities at work overshadow your home life, even this weekend, as you see your vision and goals start to unfold. The problem will be in trying to explain this to your family and partner who might think you are ignoring them. A balancing act is needed! Be more nurturing towards your man this weekend.

PISCES
Your plans for either travelling abroad or learning new skills are working out very nicely, even if these do not seem essential or even necessary to anyone else. Listen and appreciate everyone’s concerns, but follow your own heart. You expect your man to be totally committed, but is it too soon?

ARIES
Sorting out the finances is your main concern this weekend, especially if in a romantic partnership. The problem is that he probably doesn’t want you prying or giving your opinions on his bank balance or investments. Tread softly, otherwise it could damage the relationship.

Don’t be too hard on yourself at work, like tearing up one of your creative pieces because you think it’s not good enough. Relax, slow down and let someone else be the judge. Otherwise you’ll end up stressed. Let colleagues and friends bring comfort, and enjoy some hot sex with your man.

GEMINI
You're usually so quick with your opinions, but words may not bring you the emotional satisfaction you’d hoped for as your ideas seem to be in opposition to your feelings. Let the spirit of agreement shine through. He might not be as keen as usual to follow your lead.

CANCER
There is emotional conflict today as you need to concentrate on your career aspirations, but family and home matters also need your attention and you end up not succeeding in doing either. Compromise is necessary. Be tolerant, control your emotions and prioritise. Love is open-minded.

LEO
You play hard-to-get, but he probably won’t understand and will get upset or overreact. There will be great sex when you make up, though! Be careful on the roads today. Take a map or turn on SatNav, but even then you could end up in the wrong place so give yourself extra time to reach your destination.

VIRGO
Your personal planet is in opposition to the Moon today which could affect your finances. Be very clear about instructions to your bank, and keep an eye on your bank cards. Sexually, you are in the mood for intense passion but he may not be on the same wavelength. Don’t overreact!

LIBRA
It's probably best not to talk too much to your partner today, no matter the provocation. Mercury is opposed by the Moon making you blurt out your feelings before understanding the full picture. Luckily your personal planet, Venus, is encouraging you to compromise, and erotic sex is probable.

SCORPIO
You are even more curious than before, and could easily stumble upon a ‘secret’ which could be useful in the future. Don’t be too quick in judging its significance, though, as it might not be true or important. Passionate lovemaking and intense feelings are part of your scenario, but there is not much emotional feeling today.

SAGITTARIUS
There could be a misunderstanding with a friend, eg. you might have agreed to go on a date while your friend expects you at a dinner party. The problem is also that no matter how hard you try to explain, you just dig yourself into a bigger hole. Keep quiet today - you can talk tomorrow!

CAPRICORN
Your career and love life both look good, so why the stress? Probably because the Moon is in conflict with Mercury and, no matter what you say, nobody understands. Your planet, Saturn, urges you to control your emotions. Enjoying a fun social life rather than a torrid love affair might help.

AQUARIUS
What should be a really satisfying day could be upset by delays, both in your travel plans (anything from flights to traffic jams) and your studies. Control your impulse to overreact... just count to ten, breathe deeply and be ready to compromise rather than give in to irritations. Sex is inventive.

PISCES
You may have to deal with financial issues for other people - wills, inheritances and the payment of debts. Try to stick to the facts and leave emotions out of the situation otherwise you’ll end up stressed. Your family and partner are there for you, giving you comfort. Amazing sex helps, too.

ARIES
With Mercury in your sign opposing the Moon, it’s vital that you think very carefully before you speak, especially to colleagues and co-workers but, even more importantly, with your man. You want sexual freedom, but not so much that your man leaves you. Appreciate him!

3 May 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/3-may-2012 TAURUS
All month long your love life looks promising despite Pluto, your love planet, being retrograde. Today you could suffer from a bit of tension which will be eased when you make the effort to talk and compromise. Is it time to give him more attention than you give yourself? Watch your health today - moderation in all things!

GEMINI
This is one of those good days. Socialise, have some fun and let romance shine in all areas of your life. Meet up with friends in a light-hearted way - let the conversation flow, and laugh if there is opposition to some of your more outrageous suggestions. In love, you seem more passive than usual.

CANCER
Take advantage of the atmosphere of compromise and agreement at work which will soon help dissipate any feelings of tension, and you’ll soon make great headway in all your projects - especially in areas where you have some innovative ideas. Talk to your partner and family. Love-wise, it's time to let go sexually.

LEO
The main issue all month is your career aspirations and goals. Today, it’s time to focus on meetings, discussions and gathering as much information as you can. You might want to learn new skills but you may have to postpone or change your plans. Flattery will get you everywhere with your man.

VIRGO
Earning enough money to finance your travel and educational plans is the focus. Just do whatever you have to do as you have the energy and enthusiasm. Visualize your goals, and plan your next move. You can do anything and everything to fulfil your dreams. Love may not be that important today.

LIBRA
A very good day, especially for relationships as sexually you want to push the boundaries in order to reach the heights of erotic passion with an unusual intensity that could scare off lesser men. You could feel that this relationship is meant to be; almost karmic. Remember, you still live in the real world...

SCORPIO
You are in the mood for love and passion, but there is an underlying tension which isn’t sitting well with you. You’ll be happier in the company of friends rather than bitching at each other the whole evening. Luckily you seem to get on with your colleagues so concentrate on your work.

SAGITTARIUS
The month is all about your work and the daily routines which you need to follow in order to keep your life de-stressed and flowing easily. Socialise today as romance is in the air and you could easily meet someone new and exciting or take your relationship to the next committed level. Sexually, is he exciting enough?

CAPRICORN
Using your creative talents will take your career to the next rung of the corporate ladder, and you could find clarity as to what your next move should be. Ask your family for help if you're looking for a new job. They could introduce you to the right person. Love-wise, your emotions are a bit unstable. Just relax and enjoy.

AQUARIUS
Your zaniness rises to new heights, but does your man understand your needs, and can he satisfy you? There doesn’t seem to be much emotion today, but there is a lot of fun as well as romance. Be more aware of his needs as well as your own. Your ideas for decorating your family home might cause conflict.

PISCES
Highly sensitive today, you focus on all your relationships as business partnerships as well as your love life come under your spotlight. You’ll find it far easier to get things done if you work with your partner and colleagues, even if they don’t always agree with you. Compromise?

ARIES
Love is a wonderful, healthy and highly sexual challenge - just as you like it (wild, erotic and even a bit aggressive). Mars warns you not to take risks, especially sexual health risks. Work in the spirit of compromise and agreement if you want to achieve as much as possible. Your finances still look good.

2 May 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/2-may-2012 TAURUS
If you feel that your potential at work isn’t being recognised and that there are too many obstacles standing in the way of great success, compromise, be patient and finish your present project before moving forward. The Sun, Moon and Jupiter working in sync mean you are right to be confident - at work and in love.

GEMINI
You feel that life isn’t much fun at the moment; nothing really serious, just everything seems slower, and like you can’t get your act together. Is he resisting giving you more commitment in your romantic life? You’ll just have to trust that everything is fine. Expressive lovemaking will help.

CANCER
Moving house, city or even to another country is an option, but this doesn’t seem to be the right time as obstacles keep cropping up. Just relax and go with the flow instead of forcing the issue. Widen your circle of friends and business associates, and you could find your whole direction changes.

LEO
There could be difficulty in getting around. Make sure your car is regularly serviced and check tyres, water etc. You don’t want to be stranded! Your self-confidence at work makes your career goals that much easier. Disagreements with your man over money need to be sorted – play-fight rather than argue for real.

VIRGO
You are very clear about your financial goals, but your lover could be holding you back. Ask yourself what's important, and if you share the same values. The clearer you are in your own mind, the easier it’ll be to sort everything out, especially if you want to keep that sensual bliss you share.

LIBRA
You suddenly realise that you have to take responsibility for yourself, including your health and your physical appearance. Take charge of your body, your diet and your exercise plan and most of all, stop worrying! Moderation in all things will help. Making love should be fun, not a burden.

SCORPIO
This month is all about love and relationships, and when you stop worrying about it and face your fears, you’ll find love and romance in everything you do. You have to finish cleanly with one lover before moving on to another…

SAGITTARIUS
Being part of the group is important, so cultivate business associates and socialise with colleagues - without neglecting your partner or home life. Arguments will be solved when you get the balance right. You may have to slow down a little. Just know that whatever you decide will be right.

CAPRICORN
It seems a lot of hard work, but you know that with your usual hard work you’ll reach your goals, despite a few obstacles. Ask questions, go online and study to get answers. By accepting that you are responsible for your life, you’ll find it far easier to reach your goals. You need him to support your ambitions.

AQUARIUS
Your travel plans seem frustrated by a lack of money as well as other restrictions. The same goes if you want to further your skills. Sit down and take stock, and check what you really want to achieve so that you don’t waste your money. In love, creativity rules if you want the ultimate orgasm.

PISCES
The next few weeks are all about managing money, earnings as well as paying off debts. You don’t seem to ever catch up - just as one big expense is paid off, another occurs. Just be responsible, and do what has to be done. You’ll soon have a healthy bank account again. You are ultra feminine, so use these charms.

ARIES
No matter how hard you seem to try, you don’t seem to get the cooperation you want and need… Don’t push! Just relax, and go with the flow. You are on the right track even if it does seem frustrating. Love-wise, remember you need a certain amount of freedom for you to be really turned on.

1 May 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/1-may-2012 TAURUS
If you are feeling a bit tense or stressed out, phone up your friends. Exciting group activities will work better than just meeting your best girlfriend for a coffee or drink. Love-wise you seem a bit confused, and being too much of a perfectionist might be the problem. Just let it happen…

GEMINI
Is there a conflict between your family and your man, or because you can’t decide whether to spend more time at home instead of with him? Chill out, and do what feels right for you. Get everyone to help with the household chores and even redecorating. In love, moodiness rules.

CANCER
You can accomplish everything you set out to do today and more! You could easily be swamped with ideas, and not sure which direction to take next. You don’t have to let him know everything about your sexual past - well, not all at once…

LEO
You will have to use other methods to hold on to your man. Don’t let jealousy get the better of you! Let him see how reliable and trustworthy you are with money. Your career is still the main concern, and cooperating with your colleagues brings success.

VIRGO
Being impatient with your family, partner and everyone else if they can’t keep up with your energy and enthusiasm could lead to a few arguments. Perhaps spend some time learning new skills or organising a trip somewhere. Do what you want to today, and especially tonight.

LIBRA
Spend time helping a charity or those less fortunate than yourself as helping others is the way forward today. Take the lead and organise meetings as group energy is a powerful tool. Tender love rather than boisterous sex will satisfy you after your busy day.

SCORPIO
No-one can hide anything from you today - you don’t even have to ask! Involve yourself with community affairs as your role and contribution could be a welcome turning point. Get rid of things you no longer want, including men! You have the power.

SAGITTARIUS
Can anyone resist you today? Not only are you the most outrageously sexy female in the zodiac, but you have the brains to match. It might be a bit off-putting to insecure men, but if he can keep up, it’ll be a winner. Career-wise, you have everyone’s attention today.

CAPRICORN
Your energy and enthusiasm spill over in many directions. Playing sport and exercise will help you to relax, leaving you in the mood to broaden your mind by meeting up with people of different religions and countries. Love is earthy, though quite romantic, too.

AQUARIUS

Selfishness is a no-no today. You need to be your usual zany, outgoing self, especially at home. You’ll probably feel more intense and find that paying close attention to the small details will help ease tension. You have more emotional energy than usual. Sexually, there are no hang-ups - just loads of fun.

PISCES
Your inspiration comes from everyone around you, especially your romantic partner. At work it’s the right time to negotiate terms and conditions to suit you. The more enthusiastic you are, the easier your business life will be. You are in the mood for sensational love-making - just don’t talk too much!

ARIES
Even your love life seems to be a bit of a mystery as you don’t seem to know exactly what is going on. It’s best to direct your energy towards your daily routine, getting your work finished on time and being as organised as possible. The money will roll in as planned. In love, you seem very picky today.

30 April 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/30-april-2012 TAURUS
Your affectionate nature is on a roll as love and nurturing make you the perfect woman - natural, glowing and loyal to your man. Okay, you might be just a tad opinionated, but that doesn’t detract from your sexual attraction. Use your creative talents as only you know how...

GEMINI
You know exactly what makes you happy, so be prepared to tell your personal network of friends, family and business associates who may (or may not!) ask... You easily attract everyone’s attention, and they’ll listen to you now. Love blossoms into commitment.

CANCER
In matters to do with money and finances, whether at home or at work, it’ll be easier to talk through your problems in a loving, warm way. Be honest and open, and your intuition will tell you when to listen, when to speak and what to say. You're loyal until you find someone else when you happily move on...

LEO
Are you a bit too opinionated? If you want your goals to be met, joining business and social organisations may help. Today is all about cooperation and coordinating activities. Love is quite rough - are you prepared to go into battle?

VIRGO
It’s vital that you stay real and honest about yourself, even if you are climbing the career ladder quite rapidly. Just fulfil your obligations in the best possible way, even if you feel they aren’t appreciated. Everything you do gets noticed. School mistress in bed? He’ll love it!

LIBRA
An expected love affair with a stranger could be passionate and very enjoyable; just don’t let extravagance ruin your bank account. Keep a close eye on your credit cards. Investigate, and plan on travelling abroad. The broader your knowledge, the easier it’ll be to reach your goals.

SCORPIO
Friends are important, so make sure you stay in touch - especially with friends you haven’t seen for a while. Your partner will be a source of stimulation in everything you do, so don’t take him for granted. Can he satisfy your sexual hunger, though?

SAGITTARIUS
Getting your daily routine right is important, whether at home or at the office. The more organised you are, the easier it’ll be to overcome stress which can easily damage your health. Take a trip somewhere today, have some fun and socialise - you have the energy so use it.

CAPRICORN
The problem today seems to be over-indulgence in all of the good things and you don’t need to over spend in order to enjoy yourself. Let your imagination spill over - whatever you dream up, it can happen. Energy follows thought, remember... You seem a bit changeable in your love life today; even capricious.

AQUARIUS
Today is all about the pursuit of pleasure, whether socialising or having an adventure. It doesn’t matter if you are alone or with a partner, your imagination and artistic talents will make your weekend special. Chat to neighbours and invite your siblings along. Sex is wonderful, if unpredictable.

PISCES
Family relationships are at their most relaxed today, bringing great pleasure and enjoyment, even if there is an argument or disagreement with a neighbour. A short trip is probable, but take care on the road and be prepared for the journey to take longer than you expect. Sex is up to you...

ARIES
Try to keep your finances in perspective. There is huge potential for making money, but if you are too extravagant you’ll end up with nothing. Use all the charm you have, but keep it in the bedroom where it’ll make the most impact. You enjoy being worshipped - go for it today!

29 April 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/29-april-2012 TAURUS
Your determination to succeed becomes more intense and serious as you are given the opportunity to share your ideas and knowledge in your own individual way, and you realise what a good teacher you are. Your love life is highly sexual today. Let go, and let it happen.

GEMINI
You might have to give up something you value in order to gain something else. Use your skills and talents to make you independent financially and to give you self-confidence and inner strength. This confidence spills over into your love life, so he can expect the ride of his life.

CANCER
Cooperation rather than control is important today, and the more powerful the alliances and friendships you make, the more everyone will benefit. If a partner or friend is going through a difficult time, give unconditional help and support. Your sex life will be unbelievably passionate.

LEO
If you want more influence at work, now is the time to put your ideas forward. Try not to engage in a power struggle but act with diplomacy, tact and responsibility. When you help others, they give you support in return. A good diet and exercise plan really boosts your libido which, in turn, helps keep your body slim and toned.

VIRGO
Are you developing your creative talents to their full potential? These will spill over into your work and your hobbies, and your increased confidence will impact extremely favourably on your love life and everything else that gives you pleasure. Avoid a battle of wills today! Laughter wins.

LIBRA
This is a good time to make your home just how you want it to be, and to reflect your personality. It doesn’t matter how small or big, your personal space is important. If it means making a new start, moving, renovating or discussing matters with your family, now is the time. Love is relaxed and fun.

SCORPIO
You seem very serious and intense today, but that is Scorpio, even if you do hide behind an outward show of friendliness. This is a good time to develop your computer and communication skills. Socialise with neighbours and siblings tonight. Love-wise, your sexual hunger grows even more passionate.

SAGITTARIUS

Don’t let others use money or status to control you. It’s vital that you stay honest about what you want, and stick to your values and priorities. Paying your accounts and investing wisely are important, too. Think up new ways to relax and enjoy yourself. You have the energy, so let him pamper you.

CAPRICORN
Now is the time to focus on yourself, your needs and your goals. If your personal image needs updating, now is the time to look at your body, your clothes, your hair, your diet and your exercise regime. Do whatever it takes to ensure your confidence is boosted to its fullest. Love is more for ambition than passion.

AQUARIUS
Your ideas could suddenly change as you quickly react to the current situation. You think in a very independent, even radical way which brings the answers to many problems. Contact with neighbours and siblings is possible today, too. What motivates you sexually today - love or jealousy?

PISCES
You don’t want to look ordinary today, and everything you wear, say and do is slightly off- the-wall. It's all about personal freedom, so don’t limit yourself. At work, too, your ideas are radical. Don’t expect everyone to agree, but don’t let it stop you taking your power. The same goes for your love life - wow!

ARIES
Be focussed in the pursuit of your career and other goals. Don’t give up at the first obstacle; make your own decisions (no matter how radical). To feel free, you have to make your own choices which may not be easy. Your optimism makes your love life warm and romantic.

You feel really good today, and even when you meet someone you don’t like, you don’t let it show. Use this good feeling at work, as being judgmental with colleagues only creates problems and they will then be more willing to cooperate and help you. Sexually, you are glowing. Let your feelings show!

GEMINI
Meetings go very well and colleagues and associates all make you feel confident, even though Saturn suggests you keep your zanier ideas to yourself until you’ve worked on them a little more. Your personal magnetism and feigned innocence brings huge passion to the bedroom!

CANCER
The Leo Moon encourages you to look at your finances in a mature way. So, no more feeling sorry for yourself - just get on with what has to be done. You are an exceedingly perceptive businesswoman. Your happier face today assures supremacy in the bedroom, no matter who he is...

LEO
Ambition rules today, and with Jupiter in charge of your career the public are just dying to listen to your latest ideas. Don’t disappoint! It’s time to make changes to your entire life - what are your ambitions and goals? Envisage the end result and you’ll soon get there... Your ego is so huge, he might not be able to reach you.

VIRGO
Whatever you do, Jupiter is waving its magic wand and success in finance and personal growth are just two of the potentials. Think big! Your creative talents are magnetic, and everyone wants to hear and see them. Your love life is blissfully peaceful.

LIBRA
When you think in a progressive way you really win, no matter what you do. Today, the focus is on group dynamics and you could easily be invited onto a committee, to lead discussions or take an influential role in a project. Be passionate about everything. Your love life is especially fun-filled.

SCORPIO
Being in touch with your friends is very important, even though you could go OTT if you aren’t careful. You do still have to focus on your career; is it time to join a business association or some other group? Your ideas are powerful, and people listen. Loyalty rules your sex life, and there is trouble if you think he’s unfaithful.

SAGITTARIUS
Looking for a new job? This could easily happen now. You could also decide to go for further training or be offered work abroad. Don’t limit yourself - widen the goal posts as you can achieve anything now. Love-wise, perhaps you aren’t that committed? Sex is vigorous.

CAPRICORN
You want your love life to be like you - a bit ostentatious, but always stylish.

Romance is more exciting than you admit.

AQUARIUS
Your love life is bigger, bolder and more unpredictable than usual, and there is a lot of passion and intensity around it, too. This spills over into your home life. If you are thinking about moving home or renovating, use your ideas to make it happen.

PISCES
Jupiter is helping you be enthusiastic about your knowledge and skills. You want to show them off to others, and to be ready to learn and expand your artistic and creative talents. Meetings and discussions take up your time, too. Love-wise, a sibling or neighbour could introduce you to your next man... Exciting!

ARIES
Singles, love at first sight could hit you today, and adventurous, sexual gratification rules. Saturn warns you to be careful. Your creative talents inspire you in many different directions, and you could make money in many ways. Wise investments and looking after your assets will bring long-term financial security.

27 April 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/27-april-2012 TAURUS
Meetings go well because of your optimism and understanding of what is important and what is just trivial. You can take a few risks today with what you say and do, especially if you're concerned about public issues rather than those which only affect you personally. Nurturing your man brings satisfying lovemaking.

GEMINI
The Cancer Moon brings you under emotional pressure, and you could behave a bit badly towards your man. Keep it light and fun if you want his support. Finances are looking good. Work towards buying or renovating your home.

CANCER
Success at work comes through your shrewdness. Be ready to discuss and gain information from business associates and colleagues before making decisions. Health is generally good, as long as you don’t give in to your emotions. In love, you are up for anything and everything - as usual.

LEO
A bit of a spitfire today? Your man might understand, but colleagues and a new lover might not, so be ready with apologies and to turn on the charm. Let go of too much intensity today. Your sense of humour will help you make money from your career.

VIRGO
Jupiter is helping you be the sweetest of people, and colleagues and work associates will do everything they can to help you today. As Mars is bringing you enthusiasm and energy you’ll achieve everything you set out to do. Love is passionate, and you just can’t get enough.

LIBRA
If you're feeling dominated by your family or your home life, now is the time to concentrate on your career. Your optimism and passion will bring greater income as you collect money owed and sort out taxes and other financial issues. Sexual enjoyment requires beauty if you really want satisfaction.

SCORPIO
Today is all about nurturing and caring for everyone, especially your partner so that you can release all the pent-up sexual tension in a passionate display of seduction. At work, take care not to be too aggressive when things don’t go according to plan. Let others have their say.

SAGITTARIUS
Work with your associates and colleagues to take your career forward. The potential is there, but you might decide you need further training if you are to make the most of the job. If it’s hard for you to let go of preconceived ideas on how to make money, think out of the box. Sexually, an erotic fling satisfies.

CAPRICORN
You are beautiful, emotional and maybe a bit too proud today. Let yourself go, and over-indulge in everything you really want to do. Enjoy the good life! Let romance blossom, too - whatever you can dream can become a reality. Your creative talents at work will bring huge success now, too.

AQUARIUS
Your home and property matters could become quite intense, especially if there is joint finance or ownership involved. Pay attention to all the small details and make sure financial issues are sorted. Your love life is passionate, but you still need time alone to think.

PISCES
Don’t let moodiness make you temperamental. Listen and ask questions before you agree or disregard anything, even if you think your own creative ideas have more value. Community projects go well, and your input is well received. Love may be too intense to be really enjoyable.

ARIES
Your father could lend or give you some money - lucky you! Or, you can just rely on your optimism and business acumen to get you what you need. It is important that you don’t take too many risks. Keep to your priorities. Your love life is quite dramatic, favouring you rather than your man.

26 April 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/26-april-2012 TAURUS
Communication is key today as you intuitively understand other people’s feelings, giving nurturing and comfort. This makes you popular at work where your quick decisions make you the leader. You feel you are the 'earth mother' - caring for your man and offering tender love, but still with a buzz...

GEMINI
Sticking to your principles and values is imperative today, no matter how hard it is... Be extra careful if someone tries to make you do something that goes against your beliefs, or invest recklessly in an unwise financial project. Love-wise, you expect him to love you unconditionally - no matter how moody you are.

CANCER
Oh, poor me! Cancer Sun together with Cancer Moon requires keeping a box of tissues handy. You are more suspicious of everyone today, and become ultra self-protective. You just want your favourite man or your mother to give you love and nurturing. Bed is where you relax and become your magical, sexy self.

LEO
Your career is key, and it’s important that you don’t indulge in self-pity or give in to fear otherwise you won’t reach your dreams. Use your heightened intuition to focus on your vision whilst avoiding unrealistic schemes and misplaced idealism. Focus on the positive! Sex is heightened when you give rather than taking,

VIRGO
Planning a holiday with friends or a business trip with colleagues will help make you less restless. The more you learn and develop your talents now, the better for your future career. Passions run high, and moodiness seems to win over nurturing and kindness.

LIBRA
Marriage is a possibility, but will it ensure prosperity? The more financially independent you are the better in these volatile times. Keeping focussed on your career is easier over the next couple of days, and will help you decide if long-term commitment is right for you. Love is heavier than usual.

SCORPIO
Love seems to be all about who holds the power and who is the most dominating, and the same goes for your business alliances, too. Perhaps a few days away will bring you some lightness of spirit? Follow your hunches today, especially when dealing with finance. Love is erotic, but emotionally draining.

SAGITTARIUS
Mars is encouraging your career aspirations. Is this the time to set up a new business partnership or borrow money to start your own? Your enthusiasm for what you do is all-consuming, and what you do now will impact on your future. Your love life is satisfyingly erotic, but emotionally you could struggle.

CAPRICORN
Love and romance take up your time at the moment, especially if you’ve found that perfect soul-mate who is also your sexual guide. If not, let your enthusiasm inspire you in many directions, from travelling to broadening your horizons. Life is too short to limit yourself in any way.

AQUARIUS
By focussing on being organised and paying attention to the detail and the smaller print, you’ll find it easier to collect money owed as well as pay off debts. Colleagues will be impressed and give you more support, too. Love-wise, your relationship becomes more serious and committed. Is this because the sex is so wild? Lucky you!

PISCES

Today is more about romantic partnerships than business, though you still have to attend meetings and sort out finances. The problem could be that you want to be alone with your favourite man, but friends and others keep intruding. Give time to them all as you have a lifetime to enjoy him - or someone even sexier...

ARIES
Try to rein in any angry outbursts at work. You’ll get on much better if you are competitive, but not aggressive - especially if you have to change your plans. You are good at giving your man the support he needs. Let him support you, too. You need a bit of excitement to spice up your love life.

25 April 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/25-april-2012 TAURUS
Your hard work is appreciated and could easily result in increased income and recognition, as long as you keep on being organised and structured. Health-wise, don’t go overboard with exercise or diet - eating healthily and sticking to a responsible keep-fit programme are needed. You want tender, but indulgent love-making.

GEMINI
You are extremely innovative at work, but does this spill over into your love life? When it does, creative lovemaking really excites. Saturn urges responsibility and maturity in all areas of your life, so it might be worth controlling some of your impulses.

CANCER
Your domestic arrangements don’t suit you at the moment as they seem to impede rather than support your progress. Is this the time to move as one phase is completed and another begins? Take your power and do what has to be done. Love is emotional and spontaneous.

LEO
Work-wise, when one method fails, it's time to find another way... just be tolerant and get on with what has to be done in a decisive fashion, especially if this has to do with financial issues. The more organised and efficient you are, the better. Playful lovemaking will help you relax and enjoy the day.

VIRGO
If you’ve been wasteful or irresponsible with your money, now is the time to take action to get back on track. Don’t get emotional - just do it! You can easily handle stress when necessary; just turn it into a game... In love, compromise might be necessary.

LIBRA
It's noone’s fault if you are having a bad hair day. Just get out the brush and a dab of make-up... You are so beautiful that no-one will notice, anyway. Early nights and a healthy diet will work wonders. A foreign element entices - exciting!

SCORPIO
Control your impulse to tell others about a secret or other information you’ve just heard. If something has happened that has made you unhappy or worried, now is the time to deal with the issues with energy and decisiveness. You'll achieve all your goals. In love, keep him to yourself.

SAGITTARIUS
You can blend both business and pleasure with your usual, expansive friendliness - just don’t go OTT! When you stay in control, using your talents as part of the group rather than for yourself, you’ll succeed even more. Love is stronger than ever.

CAPRICORN
The more you focus on your long-term goals, the more you’ll succeed... Just be prepared for all the additional responsibilities. Listen to the wisdom of others, but make your own decisions. Trying to dominate colleagues is a no-no. Love is a bit subdued.

AQUARIUS
You are more serious about everything today, and even socialising and participating in cultural activities becomes a learning experience rather than just for fun. Travel features, but there could be delays or postponements. Be ready to adapt to all circumstances. In love, please him more than yourself.

PISCES
Not everyone agrees with your values or financial acumen. Discuss any family property, partnerships or joint finances rather than trying to do it all yourself, but be responsible for decisions which affect you. Love is more about commitment than romance - solid doesn’t have to be boring.

ARIES
The focus is on how others view you, rather than how you see them. If your partner is worried with too many responsibilities, what can you do to help? How approachable and flexible are you? Being cooperative makes you a winner, and love is a sexual party for two.

24 April 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/24-april-2012 TAURUS
As you become aware of your true purpose, you could easily change direction, becoming more self-motivated to follow a new career, hobby or interest. Others might not agree, but it is your life and you must follow your dreams. You're unexpectedly fickle in your love life, and headed for a wake-up call...

GEMINI
You could unexpectedly move if you realise your current friendships are not fulfilling your needs. It’s time to follow your own ideas and meet new people. Equally, you might take a more dominant role in groups and associations. Make it happen! The same goes for your love life.

CANCER
A new job or lifestyle might be on the cards as totally unexpected circumstances encourage you to move on, giving you more independence of thought. It might mean that you move home or leave your family. It's all very exciting! Discuss with everyone, but make your own decisions. Love is equally progressive.

LEO
You feel stimulated, excited and ready to take advantage of new opportunities to travel, meet new people and take advanced training. It could be scary and unstable, but you are self- motivated and able to take on the world. You’ll make money, too. Love is fun if you give each other space.

VIRGO
You could easily alter your ideas on what is important as your values change, and you could even leave your partner behind. Any jointly held property or finances could undergo change, too. You have a much clearer sense of your own self-worth, and now you need financial independence, too. In love, compromise is essential.

LIBRA
You could easily enter into a new partnership or joint venture (or give up an existing one) as your interests and ideas become more unorthodox. Be prepared for change! It’s a very stimulating time, though current partners and supporters might not agree with your ideas. Love is extremely liberating.

SCORPIO
Changes at work could mean you move on, or you could be offered a job that is more in line with your current ideas. Be open to all new career opportunities, especially ones where the financial prospects are brighter. Don’t waver, be decisive! In love, has he given himself, body and soul? If not, move on.

SAGITTARIUS
Your romantic life is under the spotlight. Are you ready to move on and to break up with your boyfriend if he doesn’t meet your requirements? Friends are also in the firing line, and there are new, fun people waiting to encourage your latest dreams. Flirtation rather than heavy passion rules today.

CAPRICORN
You seem ready to change your current living arrangements, especially if you don’t have private space where you can relax, read, meditate and just be. It is up to you to make it happen. You might even decide to move abroad for a while. In love, you delight in the unexpected... Lucky man!

AQUARIUS
Always ready for change, your ideas are unpredictable as you gather new information. You probably need new skills in order to keep up with the latest technology. Don’t limit yourself in any way. Even your mode of transport could change. Sex is free-spirited - when you have the time!

PISCES
Unpredictable changes to your finances could cause you to worry, but don’t fret as your latest ideas could lead to even greater financial security. Singles, a new relationship could bring new priorities, but don’t compromise on your own values.

ARIES
You could easily discover a new side to your personality, and it is time to express your uniqueness in an independent way. This doesn’t mean breaking off from your current relationship, just developing new, exciting elements within yourself. Love-wise, you are still the initiator, and the leader in multiple orgasms.

23 April 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/23-april-2012 TAURUS
You need to go out and socialise, so take the initiative to phone friends and make some plans. The more self-motivated you are, the more fun you’ll have. Don’t spend too much money, though, especially if you and your man are indulging in retail therapy...

GEMINI
Your charm gets you everywhere, and it’s all about socialising, chatting and using your sense of humour to make everyone happy. You even look more attractive than usual. This is a great time to invite friends to your home. Love is fun and light-hearted rather than committed.

CANCER
No matter how hard you try to make your love life lighter, you tend to feel happier with fantasies rather than a real relationship. Some of you might be indulging in a romance which you want to keep secret. If it’s only causing confusion and uncertainty, take action now to make it right.

LEO
You can make everything happen for you now, and getting your body fit and energised will help everything from working overtime to taking on a second job or getting a raise in salary. Focus on your long-term ambitions and take the initiative. Group energy will help at this time. Only multiple orgasms satisfy.

VIRGO
Moody? What can he do to lift your spirits? Perhaps indulging in some of your favourite fetishes will help. Only you know exactly what they are... If you want to travel abroad, it’s time to take the initiative. Go online and see what air fare deals are available. If you can turn it into a business trip, so much the better.

LIBRA
Being unusually passionate about your career means you’ll have the money to follow your interests. At the moment the stars suggest travel and learning about new countries, cultures and religions. You want the freedom to move and to love, and sexual drama is a no-no. Love has to be fun and invigorating.

SCORPIO
Common goals and shared values are the important factors in your relationship today. If these are missing, you’ll soon want to move on, whether or not the sex is amazing and completely fulfilling. You know your sexual talents, and that there are plenty of other men who will worship you.

SAGITTARIUS
Needy Sags - you just have to be loved, noticed and admired... At the moment your critical tongue could annihilate those who don’t live up to your expectations. Remember, a little kindness goes a long way. Relax and have fun.

CAPRICORN
The problem today is trying to decide which activity to do next as your enthusiasm spills over into many different areas, from studying a foreign language to writing an article for publication. Your love life is equally creative, preferably with you in control.

AQUARIUS
Your creative talents are rocking today, especially as you pay attention to the details and subtleties around you. There couldn’t be a better weekend to decorate or renovate your home. Socially, this is a great time, but don’t forget to relax, too. Love doesn't have much depth, but there's a lot of laughter.

PISCES
You’ll have a lot more fun if you spend today with friends, family and your lover. Even if you want to be alone, you’ll find neighbours and siblings popping by. Concentrate on fulfilling his fantasies today, especially if he is a sensitive, gentleman-type who really turns you on...

ARIES
You're in the mood for a party, but first though there are important things to do, like dental or cosmetic work (might be costly!) or just having your hair cut. Be careful when driving! Socialise in your neighbourhood, and invite siblings round. Don’t be too competitive with your man - just enjoy!

22 April 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/22-april-2012 TAURUS
Today you feel ready to have another adventure – as long as you have somewhere safe to return to. You want to work hard and play hard. News of what is happening around the world takes on greater significance. Love-wise, you accept no compromises as only the best will do.

GEMINI
You and your man don’t seem to be on the same wave length today. You have so many friends and so many projects on the go that the idea of a long, drawn-out love session does not appeal. You need to be away from your usual haunts as your energy is needed elsewhere.

CANCER
As the Moon moves into your opposite sign you are ready to bask in love, friendship and social events. Colleagues appreciate everything you do, though you might find all the attention tiring and it causes a bit of tension. Love is committed, though you do need to be more patient.

LEO
You decide you need more knowledge and skills to take you quickly up the corporate ladder, and an opportunity to work abroad could come up. Your man could be too possessive while you need to feel free.

VIRGO
Working as a team takes you further than going it alone. Finances play a big part in all your relationships, and you’ll be the winner in most alliances. Love-wise, you have to decide between light-hearted romance and heavy commitment. Follow your dreams.

LIBRA
Focus your attention on your favourite man, your home and your family. In your career, common goals are more successful that your own private ones. When you and your man work together and share the same dreams you accomplish dizzying heights of success.

SCORPIO
The focus is on your communication skills – get these right and you’ll achieve everything from that perfect job to financial security. You’ll be able to afford that new car, computer and other gadgets. Right now you are able to talk your man into anything, especially uninhibited lovemaking.

SAGITTARIUS
Did you burn the candle at both ends last night? Nursing a hangover won’t help your work. Luckily, you seem to know all the right people and are able to get the help you need. In love, use your imagination to turn your bedroom into a bordello where naughtiness rules.

CAPRICORN
There might not be as much co-operation at home as you’d like, so concentrate on success at work where you can be in charge, make decisions and see your vision becoming reality. Love-wise, steadiness takes precedence over passion.

AQUARIUS
The more you participate in community affairs, the better your career prospects as they seem to mutually beneficial. Siblings play a part in today’s activities, but encourage them to make their own decisions. A change in plans is annoying but not serious. Love is explosive.

PISCES
Friendship, shared values, financial ideas all suggest a long-lasting love relationship as you see your dreams coming true. Do use your intuition though – let it guide you while you use common sense too. If there is any confusion, don’t make a final commitment. Real love will wait.

ARIES
Your love life looks a bit more complex and chaotic today. You enjoy anything as long as it stops boredom creeping in; just make sure the attention you get today is for positive reasons. The situation needs great sensitivity. Lovemaking is a sexy struggle.

21 April 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/21-april-2012 TAURUS
The Sun and New Moon together in your sign encourage you to focus on your dreams and goals - see the vision, and go for it! Use your intuitive powers to know what to do next, and take the lead in a decisive way. Your creative talents take your love to new heights of intensity, passion and togetherness.

GEMINI
Your mind is brighter and more inventive than ever, and you are attracted to people who share your experimental attitude. The New Moon is bringing inner strength and determination to do what’s right for you and everyone in your circle. Sex is enjoyable, but secondary to sharing ideas with him.

CANCER
Everything is in place for you to discuss your hopes and dreams with the people you work with, especially with the people who matter. Don’t limit yourself - take your power and be ready to study or travel abroad. Any built-up tension will disappear, especially if you feel safe with your man.

LEO
The focus is on making money through your career, and the New Moon suggests it’s time to ask for promotion or a raise. Be sensitive and use your intuition to know exactly when to push for what you want in a visionary and powerful way. Your sexual heat requires a real man...

VIRGO
This is not the time to sit back as the New Moon brings new energy and enthusiasm for learning skills, travelling abroad and moving out of your rut. It’s time to do what you want, and satisfy your goals rather than anyone else’s. Only smouldering, erotic and inventive sex will satisfy.

LIBRA
There is passion in everything you do, and intensity rules as you develop your inner strengths. Finances are the main concern, especially those you look after for others. Deal with loans or debts and work on the skills you need to become financially independent. You crave sexual attention, but is there real love?

SCORPIO
With so many planets, including the New Moon, putting the emphasis on relationships, you need to think more of others than of yourself. When you show interest and give strong support without dominating your partner, friends or colleagues, you’ll be adored. Sex is a total addiction today...

SAGITTARIUS
You really do want a lot of attention from everyone today, especially at work as you show yourself as a healthy, generous, hard-working and sensual woman. Talk about having it all! Certainly your career is uppermost in your mind, but you aren’t averse to some athletic, luxurious sex.

CAPRICORN
Use your imagination and creative talents in your love life, and focus on romance. Why not be more self-indulgent? You don’t always have to be the martyr, doing everything for your man. Let him turn you on and fulfil your fantasies, no matter how OTT.

AQUARIUS
The New Moon puts the focus on to your home and family relationships. If you own a property or are thinking of setting up home with your man or someone else, now is the time to discuss financial issues and responsibilities. It might be your dream, but don’t forget the legal contract...

PISCES
You're full of ideas on making money, and the more information you can gather, the better so read, research online and talk to experts, especially if you have to lay out some of your own hard-earned cash on the new venture. This is the time to go for your vision of the future. Love is great - if he shares your dreams.

ARIES
If you are about to buy a car, a new computer or other expensive items, investigate first, check prices and take expert advice. You are ready to rush in, but a bit of research could save you years of heartache. Speaking of heartache, he might be a bit slow on the uptake and not able to read your signals. Don’t give up!

The Sun moves into your own sign today bringing new confidence, urging you to update your self-image and to be more forceful and dynamic. It's time for you to go for the things you want to do. Take advantage of the positive potential, and be generous in all ways. Socialise with your man as well as enjoying earthy sex.

GEMINI
The Sun in Taurus urges you to accept certain limitations (Okay, you probably won’t be an Olympic athlete) while bringing you huge inner strength and determination to succeed in just about everything (you could still run a marathon...). Go on, push the limits - in everything you do.

CANCER
You’ll soon see the material rewards for all your hard work and effort - if not, a little aggression could work. It’s time to understand your role in the lives of colleagues, partners, and friends. The quality of your relationships is important now, and you are an inspiring leader. Let your man heal you with his love.

LEO
This month is all about your achievements, and your ambitions, visions and dreams could change as your life moves on. Everyone of influence is watching you, and it’s time to take the direction that suits you, even if it means further studies or more travel. Sex is invigorating and very romantic.

VIRGO
You may want to learn new skills, pursue higher education and generally widen your outlook through travel and meeting people with different ideas and spiritual beliefs. It's an exciting time, so don’t limit yourself in any way; let your ambitions shine. In love, he has to have power to keep you interested.

LIBRA
This is a financially lucky few weeks now that the Sun has moved into Taurus as you’ll be helped by your family, partner and everyone else. Your ability to focus and concentrate is stronger than usual. Use your renewed willpower to do what you want to do. Sex is erotic and excitingly combative.

SCORPIO
These next few weeks centre around your influence over others - are you strong and independent, domineering or easily manipulated? Does your current life encourage or impede your growth? Be willing to cooperate and reach common goals, but without compromising your personal values. You want it all, so take it!

SAGITTARIUS
Your daily routine and responsibilities are your concern at the moment. Take pride in and enjoy everything you do, from your work to your diet and exercise regime. When you feel fit and healthy, everything else falls into place. Competition with your man produces great sexual tension, and you're in for a wild night.

CAPRICORN
You want to relax and enjoy yourself now that the Sun has moved into Taurus. Your sense of humour and fun increases, your imagination runs riot, your creative talents are appreciated and romance is everywhere. You seem more submissive with your man than usual, and loving sex is promised.

AQUARIUS
As the Sun moves through Taurus your interest in your family, your home and other property becomes stronger. You have more influence over everyone as you assert yourself. It is time to promote family goals rather than just yourself! Enjoy playful, light-hearted but raunchy sex.

PISCES
The next few weeks puts the emphasis on communication - your car, travel plans, computers, meetings are all starred. Socialise with your siblings as well as with neighbours. Local community projects need your influence and input. He thinks you are sweet and demure, but you know the truth...

ARIES
The move of the Sun into Taurus emphasises your need for making financial progress, but don’t let anyone compromise your values or principles. Everyone is willing to help you improve your finances as they recognise your integrity and generosity. Sexually, impulsiveness is a huge turn-on.

Do you ever tune in to your intuition? It’s strong and it will guide you, especially when it comes to love challenges like discussing your emotional need for independence (or at least some time on your own). It doesn't mean you don’t love him. Your buzzing libido might help convince him...

TAURUS
Your innate sweetness hides an inner ruthlessness today. You know what you want, and will do whatever is necessary to get it. Good for you! Someone close may fall ill and will need your help - or, you might need their support. Sensual sex is your forte, and multiple orgasms await you tonight.

GEMINI

Today is all about the role you play in the organisations you belong to including your Church, the gym, sports clubs etc. You probably want to participate more, and take a leading role in how things are run. You have the ideas, so put them across. But, will you soon get bored? Love-wise, you need constant excitement.

CANCER
You are free to express your new, exciting ideas, but there are other people to consider. You could easily be separated from your home or family; just remember you are one of the strongest women in the zodiac, no matter how fragile you appear. Love-wise, danger lurks...

LEO
Many planets are urging you to travel, learn new skills or study a foreign language and meet up with new, interesting people from different countries to widen your perspective on life. Do it, but be aware that life is not always easy. Your love life is equally exhilarating, even if it isn’t for keeps.

VIRGO
Financial difficulties could arise because you aren’t paid what you are owed. Keep a sharp eye on your bank account, and don’t fall for hard luck stories. It's important you keep your financial independence, even when in a committed relationship. Act first, and talk to your man about it later. In love, who has the power?

LIBRA
You need a man who is as considerate and sensitive as you are. You aren’t really into macho types. A love affair or even a business partnership could suddenly terminate, especially if you meet someone with more interesting ideas. Then, your sex life will rock.

SCORPIO
Work seems unstable; perhaps you are changing jobs or there are changes to your employment with new responsibilities? These will be to your advantage, even if you're a bit worried about it. A healthy diet and exercise programme are essential. Are your exacting sexual demands being met?

SAGITTARIUS
Talk about drama! Your whole life seems to be a stage with you as the main event. As you just love yourself, you expect everyone else to fall at your feet, too - the good news is, they probably do! Socially and romantically you can expect some changes. You aren’t in control, for once...

CAPRICORN
Family matters take up your time, and your living arrangements could be unpredictable, too, with you unexpectedly moving home or a family member moving out. You try to find solutions to everything at work and at home. Perhaps you should just let things happen... Love-wise, give in for a change.

AQUARIUS
Your ideas are so big that some people think you can’t win - but you know better! The more organised, methodical and knowledgeable you are, the easier it will be. The same goes for your love life... you want eroticism and what you want, you get!

PISCES
Finances are undergoing some changes. You might earn more, invest in an unusual venture or decide that you need to be more financially independent. Someone might be challenging your beliefs and values. Stick to what you believe. Love is the easy part, and you can expect to enjoy rich, meaningful love-making.

Mercury moves into your own sign today, and you will have even more ideas which you’ll want to pass on to everyone who’ll listen. Privately, you are quite self-centred, and this influences everything you say. Your family and friends enjoy your protection and support. Love is very private.

TAURUS
This is not the time to talk about anyone else - gossip is a total no-no or it will backfire on you. Listen to your intuition as it will help you to know when to comment and when to keep quiet. If someone tells you a secret, keep it to yourself. Emotional attachment is great, but is he sexy enough?

GEMINI
Mercury moving into Aries means you'll be hearing from friends and family, chatting, and having meetings and discussions with business associates. This is a busy and productive time. Be honest about your feelings, especially with your man. Passion is intense, and you could develop a very strong bond.

CANCER
You could hear some good news about one of your bigger ambitions or your career. This is a good time to handle the paperwork as well as discussing the news with those involved. You can’t keep anything a secret right now. You need a deep and profound relationship, one where your innate sexual magic is really appreciated.

LEO
Mercury moving into Aries brings you a greater understanding of the world, widening your perspective. You could decide to study a foreign language or travel abroad as people from other cultures have more appeal. You certainly attract new lovers at the moment, but are they friends too?

VIRGO
You will want to spend more time developing your skills and talents, and a joint venture or partnership is well starred. Just make sure the financial side is all tied up to your advantage. A loan application will probably be approved - just remember you have to pay it back. Your love life needs attention. Don’t be lazy!

LIBRA
If you need a lawyer to help with a contract or negotiations, now is the time. This is not the time to be alone; stay in contact with friends, here and abroad. Using flattery always gets you far, but make sure it's genuine. Communication is the key to your relationships - even more than sex.

SCORPIO
These next few weeks are all about getting organised and planning ahead so that you don’t become stressed and unwell. Why don’t you have a mini makeover, get a new hair style, a detox, facial or a massage? They do wonders for your love life, especially as you want your long-term sexual dreams to be realised.

SAGITTARIUS
Having a romantic few days away with your love partner is very possible. Remember that there is no need to compete - love flourishes best in partnership, so just relax and enjoy all the differences between you. Work-wise, don’t sit back - push things to the limit.

CAPRICORN
Are you involved in property negotiations? They should go well now, and moving will be easier than you’d imagined. This is also the time to sort out a new phone or computer, installing a wireless modum or other equipment. Creativity in your love life sees sex moving from great to unbelievable.

AQUARIUS
You will be busier than ever these next few weeks as Mercury moves through Aries. Get involved in discussions, meetings, writing and speaking projects. Your enthusiasm for your ideas and opinions spills on to everyone, and even your love life benefits from this inspiration.

PISCES
If you're asking for a raise at work, you might need to put your request in writing or, at least, clarify your thoughts and ideas on paper so that you know exactly what you want and why. Financial security is important, so talk to an expert on investments. Go online if you need clarification. In love and sex, your feelings are elusive.

Your optimism today means you can achieve anything and everything you put your mind to. You know what the public wants, and exactly how to make money. This is a good time to plan. Don’t overdo, it though, or you’ll end up with a headache. Tonight you need nurturing.

TAURUS
Socialise with friends who share your interests and values, and let your man provide the romance. Commitment is possible now. You know you can do anything, and achieve whatever you set out to do. If you're involved in competitive sports, don’t forget to train properly first.

GEMINI
Talk about what you really want from your life and discuss your highest aspirations. See if friends come up with ways to really make your life 'zing'. Your parents might have some ideas, too. Take care at home, and avoid accidents around the house. Lovemaking is better than you can imagine.

CANCER
You have some interesting career ideas, but you may need to learn some new skills first before you move on. Don’t limit yourself! Take the opportunity now to do something entirely different, even if it’s only for a day. You might use sex as an escape. What does he want?

LEO
Don’t become too intense about money today. Issues over shared resources, property or a bank account need to be discussed rather than having you lose your cool. If possible, avoid confrontation. Be positive - you can afford to take a small risk. Love-wise, can he keep up with you today? You are more than a little exhausting.

VIRGO
Love-wise, this is a very physical day so don’t overreact if he doesn’t meet all your demands! He is only human and you are in unexpectedly passionate mood. A social event puts you in the spotlight, so ensure that you look your best, and are cooperative and charming. Showing interest will count in your favour.

LIBRA
Love-wise, you are moodier, but more inspiring and emotional, expecting your man to indulge all your senses today while you gain a deeper understanding of the purpose and nature of sex. Financially, you should be a bit careful - extravagance now could really deplete your savings.

SCORPIO
Love and romance call - if there is no-one special around, call up your friends and meet up for coffee or a drink. Group activities will be successful, too. When you are with your special man, you feel you can achieve anything and everything, and sex is magical...

SAGITTARIUS
Socialise with family and friends by inviting them home or meeting up with your siblings. It might be hard work, but if you get them to help it’ll lighten the load. An interest in health-related matters means you know what you can or can’t eat and what exercise plan suits you. Your good looks show the results.

CAPRICORN
You enjoy whatever the day brings as you socialise and meet up with siblings and neighbours. Try to avoid over-indulgence, though, as this could really throw on a few kilos, and just as you were getting fitter, too. You need to be intimate on every level with your man, and loyalty rules.

AQUARIUS
Your family is becoming more and more important to you as you discuss finances, possibly even benefitting from an inheritance. An application for a mortgage could be approved soon, so looking for the right place to live works now. Your creative imagination works in your love life, and sex is just never enough.

PISCES
Love and passion are uppermost today. At the back of your mind you know you need to have the same interests and values otherwise it won’t work long-term. Be confident in your sexual prowess - you know how wonderful you are; does he really have to keep telling you?

16 April 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/16-april-2012 ARIES
You’ll have a better chance of controlling all the aspects of your life if you can keep your impulsive behaviour under control. Don’t overreact or get angry; instead of working too hard, give yourself a few breaks. Nurture yourself, and you’ll feel relaxed enough to enjoy a loving and rich life with your man.

TAURUS
You and your man seem to be very connected emotionally, and with your enhanced intuitive powers you’ll know exactly what will amuse you and your friends. Your creative talents will ensure some very playful lovemaking, too.

GEMINI
New business ventures look exciting. Take time the time to think carefully, discuss issues with your family and boyfriend and to be sure not to overreact if they disagree. Getting angry will only end in accidents and arguments. You need your man to listen to you. Sex doesn’t seem to be a priority.

CANCER
Get a box of tissues ready - Pisces Moon with your Cancer Sun is an invitation for emotions to run riot. Are you ready for him to make you laugh? Probably not... Perhaps it would be best if you spent time alone; then, when you’re ready, let him woo you with amazingly physical sex.

LEO
You are ready for romance, and your love life today seems invitingly turbulent with unrestrained lovemaking. Don’t forget to check your bank statements, and leave your credit card at home. Investigate big purchases thoroughly before signing anything.

VIRGO
With the Moon in Pisces you probably dread being out of control today, but how will you really enjoy lovemaking if you keep restraining your innate sexuality? Don’t think; just let your feelings take over. Sure, you have other needs, and you have the energy to satisfy them all.

LIBRA
You want to be totally fair, and to talk to your man about any problems you might be having. Even if you are more than usually emotional, if your lover is the tempestuous type he probably just wants active, sensuous and demonstrative sex.

SCORPIO

The world stops turning, and you know that destiny is bringing you the love, romance and passion you’ve been dreaming of. But then reality storms in - the daily grind, responsibilities and routine. Be creative, and fill your home with love and romance. Let passion rule, at least for the weekend.

SAGITTARIUS
Does someone keep telling you to grow up and be responsible? Forget it, this is your time to be free. Use your intuition and creative talents to think up some exciting and playful exploits. Your lover will tag along behind you as no-one can really keep up.

CAPRICORN
Your fantasy life is soaring - just don’t talk too much or feel compelled to discuss issues for hours. Give him a break, and let your sex drive free. Throw all your own rules out of the window.

AQUARIUS
As the emotional, but nurturing side of the Pisces Moon affects you, you find it easier to let your feelings show without embarrassment. You might even admit to being a teeny bit jealous when your partner notices a pretty girl. Sex will be satisfyingly erotic - and free!

PISCES
Just hope he doesn’t want you to explain how you feel - all you want to do is show him. However, he has to keep telling you how much he appreciates you, and how sexy and attractive you are, no matter what your changing moods are doing.

Feeling happy and at one with your friends, colleagues and business associates really makes the day zing - plus it's Friday, which helps! Socializing and clubbing this evening is an option, but don’t over-indulge or you’ll end up with a very nasty headache in the morning.

TAURUS
Don’t give up on your career today - your popularity is increasing, and everything you do gets noticed. The only thing to watch out for is being too opinionated. Even if you are right, don’t push your ideas onto everyone. This evening promises to be fun, and sexual tension produces mega lovemaking.

GEMINI
You are ready to fly off on holiday or even work abroad, but is this just a pipe dream? You definitely have more energy than usual for doing work around the house... Get your family involved in renovations and décor. Your man might make you feel guilty for wanting to do your own thing; still, be generous, sex-wise...

CANCER
You need passion in your love life today, but is he able to provide, especially as it’s Friday and he’ll probably over-indulge? Never mind, you are more than able to look after your own sexual needs. Don’t exaggerate your financial status, even to close friends - career prospects look good, though.

LEO
Talking to people from different cultures and countries is your forte today, both at work and socially. Singles, you could meet a new love interest; someone who shares your attitude towards money and life in general. This could be the start of an exciting and very sexual relationship.

VIRGO
Don’t worry if that new man in your life is from a different background, country or age group - if it's meant to be, just go with the flow. It's all about sensual sex. Getting on well with colleagues makes your work much easier. Your energy levels are high, and you accomplish a lot.

LIBRA
Love, romance, passion and a buzzing libido - what more could you possibly want? There could be a holiday together, too, though Saturn does suggest that you control yourself just a bit - there is still work to be done! Discuss and organise with your colleagues to make your life easier.

SCORPIO
You are more motivated than usual to discuss your work with colleagues and business associates. Taking pride in everything you do certainly helps in getting your daily tasks finished quicker and more efficiently. Love is serious for many Scorpios, and you seem almost maternal...

SAGITTARIUS
The weekend is coming, and your capacity for enjoying yourself starts this evening. Meet up with friends and siblings, chat online and socialise within your neighbourhood. You might be caught up in local affairs, too. Speaking of affairs, your present relationship could suddenly become very serious.

CAPRICORN
Discuss financial matters to do with your home and family today. With the Sun and Moon in harmony, it should all work out very well. Just stick to your principles. Over-indulgence tonight could end up with very unhappy consequences, so watch it! Love could be a battle- ground, too.

AQUARIUS
You might feel as if you're super-human, but what does everyone else think? Discuss matters rather than push your opinions, especially over monetary concerns. You will be noticed, so don’t forget the charm and diplomacy. In love, talking money is a turn off; demonstrate passion instead.

PISCES
When you control your emotions, your finances look really good. It’s time to discuss matters at home with those who matter. Be loving, but determined. Being too passive doesn’t get you anywhere, but neither does being aggressive. Charm and understanding should rule, and love is erotic.

Even if you feel you need more control, this doesn’t mean that being bossy is the best way forward. Suggest new ideas, and be warm and affectionate - you’ll be noticed and your popularity will increase big time. Make decisions after Monday; use the time now to really consider your options. Exotic sex calls, with no emotion needed.

TAURUS
You might have doubts about your abilities at work, but luckily no-one else does. Don’t limit yourself - let your creative juices flow and romance, blossom. Set your natural enthusiasm free, and everyone around you will relax too. Let sex happen...

GEMINI
The next few days sees you worrying about friendship versus love and romance as well as whether your creative efforts are appreciated by your colleagues. Just follow your heart and cooperate where necessary; it is all about natural flow. Instant attraction to a new man is very self-indulgent.

CANCER
The depth of your feelings at the moment almost hurts. You need to discuss career matters, especially if you feel you are losing control. There could be confrontation; keep it simple, stick to the facts and you’ll make the progress you want. Love-wise, is he providing you with the emotional support you need?

LEO
It’s important your meetings have some structure, so get all the facts and figures ready so that you keep ahead of the game with your innovative ideas and attitude. Love-wise, you need to be able to bond on an emotional as well as a physical level when sex will be even more luscious.

VIRGO
It's vital that you use your money wisely, especially if you share resources with your partner. Your relationship could be compromised if one of you isn’t being responsible. Sort out the finances and you’ll feel like the relationship has been reborn. Sex will be almost tantric.

LIBRA
It’s important that you make your own decisions and keep control of your own life, even if you are in a committed relationship. There could be confrontation with your partner, so show love and nurturing. Although sex will be mega, there might not be much emotional input over the next few days.

SCORPIO
Your health will be the focus over the next few days. Stop feeling sorry for yourself; just get on with the healing. A good diet, exercise and a sense of humour will help. Your man or a close friend might be ill or confined in some way. Give nurturing, loving support.

SAGITTARIUS
Don’t think only of your own happiness - you have to consider your man, your family and all your close relationships. By being a good friend you'll find you have many friends, and possibly that a meaningful friendship suddenly turns into love and commitment.

CAPRICORN
When you take a responsible attitude towards your own life, you get the wisdom and guidance you need when you need it. New ideas for making money will come when you let yourself be open and spontaneous. Be enterprising in all areas of your life, including sexually.

AQUARIUS
Your experimental attitude works miracles, and using your imagination - especially when talking to colleagues - will help you broaden your horizons even further. The sky is the limit at the moment, despite Saturn trying to dampen your spirits. You have no time for love.

PISCES
Your love life is more serious than usual. Are you ready for commitment or are you just enjoying the erotic sex? You can have both, you know... The important issue for a long-term relationship is the need for similar values and attitudes. Being resourceful, but responsible with money and debts are key.

Tension in matters to do with your career could cause frustration and depression. Even though you have the optimism, you lack the energy to deal with it. Never mind - just wait a few days before you react. Friends will make you feel secure and happy again. Sex is unrestrained, but is there love?

TAURUS
Your confidence spills over when talking to teachers and friends about your spiritual beliefs, and absorbing new ideas which you feel you can incorporate in your daily work to improve your career prospects. Be creative rather than competitive, including in your love life.

GEMINI
Your love life is a lot of fun, especially if someone from a different country or culture is involved. Saturn might make you feel guilty about not studying or knuckling down. You could be given promotion or a raise, but don’t talk about it to anyone until it’s confirmed.

CANCER
Everything you do now should bring you luck. Even if it's not evident at the moment, you’ll see the benefits later. Friends, colleagues and business associates are all on your side. Be as helpful to them as they are to you. Love-wise, there is conflict between your need for intimacy and your desire for freedom.

LEO
Any conflict at work will soon turn to understanding and friendship again, so don’t stress. Your relationships are all a bit intense, but your optimism is infectious and everyone feels better. Finances are not your main concern. Sex-wise, can he handle your demands?

VIRGO
Using your creative talents will help your daily work and responsibilities seem less arduous. Just go with the flow - you won’t even have to put in much effort. Love-wise, you seem fascinated by someone from a different background. Oddly, any differences disappear, and love rules.

LIBRA
Love and passion dominate, especially if you feel you are learning from the relationship as well as gaining financially. You probably have to drop a few heavy hints to him if you want romantic gestures as well as spontaneous sex.

SCORPIO
This is not the time to be alone, and friends and colleagues are only too happy to socialise and have some fun. Love-wise, a committed relationship will work if you share the same interests and values, though you don’t seem inclined to make any effort. Are you just too busy?

SAGITTARIUS
At work you seem more in competition with yourself than trying to beat anyone else to the top. Jupiter is ensuring that you will get there anyway, no matter what you do. Love is warm and giving if you lavish attention on each other. Use some of your amazing ideas.

CAPRICORN
You probably want to spend time at home rather than dashing about, and even an overseas trip seems a bit too much like hard work today. Watch what you eat - flopping in front of the TV with a bowl of unhealthy snacks won’t do your skin or body any good at all. Make love rather than talking.

AQUARIUS

Talking to your man about anything serious doesn’t seem to get you anywhere today, especially if it’s about finance. Mars will move forward in a couple of days when everything will fall into place. Love-wise, forget perfection. Just go with whatever turns you on.

PISCES
Love and friendship are great, but you seem less inclined to socialise than usual today. Spend time on your own doing girly things like enjoying a warm scented bath and chatting to girlfriends on the phone. If the relationship works, sex will be ecstatic. If not, forg

12 April 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/12-april-2012 ARIES
Your personal planet is still retrograde. You want to achieve, but unless your work has some sort of cause or altruistic meaning you find it difficult to buckle down, and you end up doing only doing the things that suit you. Who is going to be on top, sex-wise? Expect a struggle for dominance.

TAURUS
You're not feeling very competitive today, and you want to use your creative talents for yourself rather than your job, especially if you’ve been working hard. Luckily, Jupiter is making you successful no matter what - expect unexpected changes in your plans. Go with the flow... Going away with your man is promising.

GEMINI
This is a very good time to sort out your living space, especially if you are sharing or considering moving in with your man. Work together to decorate and renovate, but try not to be too domineering. Ask for his advice, even if you don’t take it. It will be a learning experience - sex-wise, too!

CANCER
You could have a few problems in your love life with Pluto retrograde, especially if one of you is being too controlling - be honest, but in the nicest possible way. With a little trust, you should be able to sort it out. Sex could be rougher and tougher than you like. Friends and groups will give you the support you need.

LEO
Don’t fall for a hard luck story especially from a loser-type dude, no matter how attractive he seems. You’ll just end up losing your hard-earned money. Your attitude towards your health means this is the perfect time to get your diet and exercise plan up and running. You should already see the difference.

VIRGO
Mars is encouraging you to be decisive, but as it is still retrograde for a few more days, it is better to wait before risking your partner’s or the company’s money. The same goes for you love life - don't make any big decisions today.

LIBRA
You may want to move out of your family home to move in with your boyfriend or share with others, but it isn’t as easy as you’d first hoped. Discuss shared money and resources with your man, and get all the details worked out before you make the move. Your self-assurance is key.

SCORPIO
The Moon is in good aspect to both your personal planets, Pluto and Mars - the trouble is, they are both retrograde! It might be best to let your friends make social decisions for you. Just don’t give up control of your finances... Love-wise, have you got a headache today?

SAGITTARIUS
Follow your instincts when dealing with your company’s money or even your own finances. You seem to do the right thing, even if you aren’t sure why. Love is warm and fun as long as you enjoy a rich social life together, sharing the same interests and values.

CAPRICORN
Pluto retrograde in your own sign could mean a new beginning for you. You certainly want to go your own way and take back your personal power. You might find your present relationships aren’t enough, and you might want to move home, travel abroad or learn new skills. Romance is waiting, and it's on your terms.

AQUARIUS
It's all about power at the moment - taking yours and doing what you want, but privately, and without making a big scene. You might gain power, too, through helping others less fortunate than yourself. Financial help comes through others - your family, boyfriend or work. Love is intense rather than peaceful.

PISCES
You manage to manipulate your friends into doing what you want. This is no big deal, and they just seem to follow your lead without really knowing why. It’s probably because you have a vision, and intuitively know how to achieve success. Try not to be competitive with your favourite man. He could be total inspiration.

11 April 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/11-april-2012 ARIES
Your career and other goals are highlighted and with Venus, your money planet, being quite dominant, this is a good time to discuss ways of increasing your finances. You will know what is right for you as exciting opportunities come your way - be decisive! Your love life seems a bit complex. Is he exciting enough?

TAURUS
Discussions with financial experts are important today. It will be hard to keep the outcome secret, so work out what you want known and stick to it. Control your emotions at work - keep calm, and let your creative talents work for you. Love could be a bit boring, so let luxury rule.

GEMINI

Everyone supports you today, and you have that happy air of love wafting all around you. You can see your long-term goals - now, all you have to do is become more methodical in the way you work towards total achievement. Sex-wise, does he understand that you hate to be dominated?

CANCER

What started off today as routine work becomes more and more to do with relationships. You could become quite excited about a new person entering your work life who could bring more creativity to your daily routine. If love moves swiftly from amazing sex to dull routine, do something to add spice.

LEO
Plan a business or a holiday trip, but only if you can afford it or it will bring in some extra cash. Keep your eye on your long-term financial goals - what can you do to keep on track? Don’t let worry over money cause stress. Love-wise, don’t let him forget you are the queen of the zodiac, and that you need to be adored.

VIRGO
Creativity rules your love life, and you want it to be passionate, interesting and have a dreamy quality. Use your insight to tell you if he is the one, or whether it’s still a distant fantasy to be explored later. Despite all the love, sex might not be a priority at the moment.

LIBRA
Your self-assurance rules at the moment, and you could be quite domineering at home, at work and in your love life. As you still have loads of the famous Libran charm, many people won’t even notice, but will be delighted to go along with you. Love is progressive, but is there passion?

SCORPIO

Your leadership skills are very noticeable at work where your decisiveness and courage make colleagues and business associates sit up and listen. You have a unique way of showing your love, and you could become quite an obsession for your man... just as you’d planned.

SAGITTARIUS
Love is in the air, as long as you share the same values and spend your money in the same way. Focussing on your career goals through your daily work and routine will make you financially secure. Sex feels a bit staid and lacking in spontaneity.

CAPRICORN
Professional success is yours, but it will come even quicker if you take positive steps to widen your horizons and take your skills to the next level rather than resting on your laurels. You are a devoted lover, but a touch of cynicism means you won’t easily get taken in. Sex is predictable.

AQUARIUS
Get the basics sorted (sharing your home and finances) and the rest should all fall into place... You have some unique and interesting ways of expressing your affection which will excite him, though there could still be a bit of a battle of wills - where will it end?

PISCES
Talk to those who matter. You could have fun with your man when looking at property and finding somewhere to live together. Be creative! Meetings regarding local community projects do well, too. You are an inspiration today, and your dreams will easily be fulfilled.

You are noticed at work, but this doesn’t mean you should be too domineering. Let everyone have their say, and listen to their ideas - you could learn something and your popularity will increase. Attracted to someone new? If he doesn’t reciprocate he’ll miss out on the sexual adventure of his life.

TAURUS
Try not to let your financial worries dominate. If you can’t afford whatever it is you want to buy, wait. You are the most beautiful in the zodiac; you don’t need enhancements. Your love planet, Pluto, moves retrograde. Is it time to emotionally let go and let it happen?

GEMINI

Obsession over a relationship causes you some angst. You are such a butterfly that you find it hard to cope with deep emotions. Just don’t give up your power. You’ll probably just argue with your family if you're around them, so let friends listen and give you the support you need instead.

CANCER
It’s hard to be honest with others and even yourself now that Pluto is in retrograde, but it’s extremely important, especially if you're moving on from a love relationship or your job. Relationships don’t have to end; sharing power is the best solution. Sex-wise, you don’t seem to know who or what you want today.

LEO
You could find it hard to have the control you want, either over your work or your health. Don’t neglect your diet or fitness routine at this time. Be ready to accept changes to your work; the more helpful you are, the easier it’ll be to cope. Love is sexually extravagant - enjoy!

VIRGO
It will be difficult for you to control the things in your life, including your love relationships. You are being asked to use your creative talents in a more organised way which means you'll have to put in more effort. Love means compromising if necessary - it’ll be well worth it.

LIBRA
You might want to make a break with the past (including lovers, friends and family), but you have to face up to the truth first. Try to repair any broken bridges, and then move on with an open heart. Even your home might need some repairs. In love, your sexual talents reach new heights of ecstasy.

SCORPIO
You try to be in control of your home, friends, lover and neighbourhood, but feel it’s a losing battle. Don’t give up on issues that you know need to be addressed and wrongs that need to put right. You have some good, if serious ideas. You learn a lot from your man - if only on how to lighten up and enjoy yourself.

SAGITTARIUS

You feel you deserve it all and sex-wise, your life is extremely invigorating. Pluto moving retrograde is putting a strain on your finances. Don’t let them control you, but equally don’t neglect them or overspend. You need to conserve and invest wisely without becoming obsessed.

CAPRICORN
Pluto moving retrograde in your own sign suggests you need to consciously take control of yourself, pursue further training, learn public speaking and do what it takes to show yourself as the dynamic, powerful person you are. Love-wise, do you have feelings for him, or is he just a passing phase?

AQUARIUS

This is not the time for self-pity - it might be hard, but you do have to make considerable effort to stay in control of yourself and your life. Helping others less fortunate is important; use your intuitive powers which are stronger than usual. Today, your sexual prowess means that total lust wins.

PISCES
Don’t let yourself be manipulated into doing something you know is wrong for you. It might be hard, but you have to retreat from friends and groups which don’t have your best interests at heart. You need these people, but only those that make you happier and successful. Love is wild!

Itchy feet take over today, and you are just dying for an adventure, to travel and to explore new countries, as well as widening your knowledge with new philosophies, countries and people. Tell your man what you feel, and that you’ll be back (or not, as the case may be...). You want it all? Well, it’s waiting...

TAURUS
Nothing you do, have or experience seems to be enough today. What will make you happy and contented? With Mars urging the good life, self-indulgence will make you could put on weight which will be hard to shift. The only thing that should be large is your libido…

GEMINI
Are you feeling a bit confused about your love life? Emotions could be running high, especially if you aren’t ready to commit. You’ll need all the diplomacy and tact you can find. Your family don’t seem that supportive, either - perhaps it’s time to work out your own problems? Sex, rather than love, is exciting.

CANCER
Love is a secret affair today, or is this because you aren’t feeling your best and would prefer some quiet time on your own? If there is no man around, your fantasies are enough to keep you happy. Losing your cool or overreacting will make you tense and possibly even ill, so cool it!

LEO
Sharing the same values as your man is important, and there could be a disagreement today which will make you rethink your relationship. Don’t overreact - think carefully as it could just be the result of the Moon and Mars in difficult aspect. Get it right, and you can expect some really explosive lovemaking.

VIRGO
Your personal planet, Mercury, is in sync with your emotions which makes you very open and loving. Actually, you come up with some quite innovative and exciting ideas. Do give yourself some time out at home to relax as Mars is making you work too hard.

LIBRA
A trip or short journey doesn’t seem to bring the satisfaction you hoped for. Try not to over-react on the road as accidents can happen. Take care! Luckily, your colleagues are being supportive and even a bit protective of you. Your man finds you an exciting challenge which brings far more sexual passion to the mix.

SCORPIO
Confusion over money and who is spending what is upsetting today, whether it's at work or with your partner. Use all the diplomacy and tact you can muster before you overreact and ruin it all by losing your temper. In bed, you don’t seem to be able to refuse him anything - a total turn on!

SAGITTARIUS
With the Moon in your own sign, your love of adventure calls. Is this sexual freedom you're hankering after? Singles, romance is seeking you out and when it comes to love, you are inspired. Mars says you are being noticed by your boss and others who matter, and you could be offered a promotion or a new job.

CAPRICORN
Disagreements with friends or colleagues could leave you feeling like no-one is cooperating with you, but don’t try to force the issue. Just wait a few days - everything will come right again. Recharge your batteries with healthy food and exercise, and indulge in a few beauty treatments. You need glamour in your love life, too.

AQUARIUS
The Sagittarius Moon is making you very self-indulgent today. This is fine, but it could affect your figure and even your liver, so take it easy. Be creative when cooking as well as when dining out, and cut out the creamy puddings and sauces. Love is all about lust rather than commitment today. Enjoy!

PISCES
You don’t want to run from love just now... This could be a long-term winner, though there are some career issues to resolve. Balance your time between your personal life and that of your work otherwise you’ll get out of balance.

You could lose all perspective when it comes to money, just moving into spend-spend-spend mode. Leave your credit cards at home today! Try window shopping until your mood changes. Love-wise, you feel more sensual and erotic than usual, and he loves it.

TAURUS
Self-indulgence is a no-no today - try indulging him instead! Your personal planet, Venus, is making you more passionate and trying new, romantic ways to excite. Singles, someone from a different culture or country beckons, leaving you eager for more...

GEMINI
Indulging in self-pity won’t work. If your colleagues found you overly opinionated today, use your intuition to guide you, and take the opportunity to listen and discuss the way forward. You are even more bewitching than usual to your man, both elusive and sensual at the same time.

CANCER
Love-wise, it could be quite a heavy, emotional day which will be alleviated by some delicious, intense and extremely raunchy lovemaking. You’ll probably want to keep this little episode a secret... At work, your creative talents are appreciated.

LEO
Someone could let you down again, so watch out for false promises or exaggeration, especially in matters to do with your career. Don’t just discuss money issues - get something concrete, in writing. You have courage and decisiveness, so use them! Are you too stressed for lovemaking? It’ll help you to relax.

VIRGO
Love-wise, is it time to discuss joint finances and shared values, or is it too early in your relationship? You won’t be happy with someone who has different ideas. Jupiter is bringing luck to your life, and Mars gives you the courage to do something with it. An unexpected love affair at work is possible.

LIBRA
The good news is that you can really let yourself go in your love life, so show your feelings and emotions. Singles, chances are you’ll meet someone who shares your intellect, your philosophies and your values. A trip abroad could come about, too.

SCORPIO
Your relationships will be far better if you don’t take your man or friends for granted. We know you are a sexual Goddess, but only if your emotions are stimulated. Then, you’ll be ready to sacrifice yourself for your man. Today, passion rules in everything you do.

SAGITTARIUS
Romance and love call, but you are probably reluctant to make such an important commitment easily. You need time alone to think and meditate before you are ready to give up your freedom. Mars is urging you to get on with your career, and to follow your highest goals. The choice is yours...

CAPRICORN
Although Jupiter is urging you to surround yourself with love and romance, you seem more interested in your work, career and daily responsibilities. Mars reminds you that you always wanted to go abroad and widen your horizons, but will you travel with him or alone? Oddly, sex is even more passionate today.

AQUARIUS
The Moon and Jupiter both urge you to reach your career goals, while Venus says be creative, and Mercury and Mars suggest a joint venture will make more money. Research all possibilities, and combine them if possible. Everything is possible for Aquarians, including being more maternal when necessary (like today).

PISCES
Please don’t be taken in by that delicious stranger just because he listens, and don’t be seduced by his smooth tongue. You have a lot to lose, and a lot to gain if he is the one, so just take it slowly. Love should be a passionate, but healing experience today. A trip might be delayed; keep your cool and don’t overreact.

Talk about drama! Your reactions are passionate and emotional - do you feel hurt or angry about something? It would be good to bring it out into the open and discuss it rather than letting it simmer inside... Go on - be your usual brave, Arian self. If you can’t sleep, try some erotic sex.

TAURUS
You are at your most physically attractive and highly sexual, too. Love-wise, you know exactly who and what you want, and he has to share your values. There could be tension over money, but you have the vision of what you need, so follow your dreams. Energy follows thought, remember… Love is electric.

GEMINI
Flying high, you can reach the stars when it comes to your highest goals. There is a little tension as you are torn between socialising and attending an important meeting. As your career and work are important at the moment, you’ll know what to do. There’s more feeling in your love life than usual.

CANCER
You're extra sensitive in your love and romantic life, but try to keep your feet firmly on the ground otherwise you’ll be open to misunderstanding and stress. There are issues to do with your career that need to be sorted out before you can move on. Sex is anything but casual, and intimacy rules.

LEO
You're at your most stubborn today, and you won’t readily change your mind for anyone or anything. This is fine, as long as you realise that not everything is as it seems. You want your love life to be magical, so be courageous and let your fantasies rule. Don’t let your family upset you - be firm.

VIRGO
More than usually complex, you have a certain power today that is both intriguing and sexually exciting. It's no good just talking about love, you have to act out the passion without losing your sense of humour. You have more energy and enthusiasm for whatever you want to do, be it in your career or in love.

LIBRA
Romance is in the air, but you seem more interested in having the same values and work ethics than in the emotional side of things. In fact, you could be quite detached today which is great for getting on with practical issues. As long as your man adds loads of romance, you’ll feel safe enough to enjoy physical lovemaking.

SCORPIO
Sexual obsession and giving way to emotional passion are key today, especially if your man adds a dash of romance to the erotic mix - an exhausting night for him! Tolerance at work will help you get over some hurdles. Be conservative rather than impulsive.

SAGITTARIUS
Be as creative at work as you can, though your colleagues will probably only appreciate your more conservative efforts. You win when you believe in what you do. Don’t allow a disagreement with a female to upset you. Love-wise, don’t pretend - if you're keen, let it show.

CAPRICORN
Still trying to be in charge? You don’t want others to make decisions for you, so don’t try to make them for your friends and colleagues, either. Balance your time between your personal family life and your career to avoid stress. Does reality live up to your fantasy sex life? It could tonight...

AQUARIUS
Your ego seems bigger than necessary as Mars is making you more intense and physical, but where is the emotion? You don’t have to be embarrassed as showing your feelings is not a weakness, but a strength. Work-wise, your leadership qualities take your career up a notch.

PISCES
Showing everyone just how responsible you are over money, especially shared resources or joint finances, will bring the respect of those who matter. Travel is highlighted today, whether you're departing on holiday or planning a trip. Sex is really exciting today, and feeling it’s destiny adds spice.

A bit of tension between you and your man could cause some angst. Perhaps the answer lies in letting your feelings out, but in a loving rather than an aggressive way. You don’t want to get a headache or become stressed out. Running away from problems won’t help, either.

TAURUS
Your role is that of peacemaker, especially when there are issues to do with money or compromising your values. The trick is to stay honest with yourself so that you don’t become sick with worry. Knowledge is power - make sure you have all the facts and figures. In love, imagination rules.

GEMINI
You and your man share a common vision today, seeming to agree on everything. There could easily be some tension between you and a friend or colleague, probably a misunderstanding over money. Just make sure you have all the facts and figures before you say something you later regret.

CANCER
Emotional needs run deep today, and you could feel quite dependent on your man, your family, colleagues and everyone in your circle. You try to cover all this with romance, but it doesn’t quite hide the inner tension. You could try talking?

LEO
You seem full of the joys of life today, and you're both sensitive and romantic as well as needing space to act out your sexiest fantasies. Socially, you could be a bit too friendly and affectionate. There is a lack of clarity regarding finances and joint accounts. Discuss these sooner rather than later.

VIRGO
In love you not only think of your own needs, but those of your partner, too - he’s a lucky man. Does he spoil you as much as you do him? You need a man who acts out all the drama you’d love to express yourself. There is pressure at work, but it means you’ll make a break-through, so don’t worry.

LIBRA
If you are fantasising about that foreigner you met at work or your teacher, be careful - your judgment may not be all that sound today. Not everything is as it seems at first. Your mother or family could have some sound advice - not that you’ll listen... Sexually, it's all about experimental fun and not deep love.

SCORPIO
Tension could bring on migraines or other health problems, especially if you are trying to stick to deadlines. Relax, be methodical and don’t let outside influences hamper your progress. Keep everyone in the loop. Love-wise, you seem less intense and lighter, needing a friend more than a sensual lover.

SAGITTARIUS
Some tension lurks between you over your friends and group activities. Balance is needed in all things, especially today. You need your freedom to do whatever you want, whenever you want, and especially to join in wherever the action is. Love-wise, too, there are no limits.

CAPRICORN
The conflict for you today is between the time you spend with family as opposed to achieving your career goals. You might have to change your plans, but let it be your decision otherwise you’ll get stressed. Try to let go and let lovemaking lighten your spirit.

AQUARIUS
You’d just love to run away from all your responsibilities, travelling abroad and learning new skills - even going back to University. But, the problems of earning a living, making ends meet and paying off credit cards all need to be addressed. Love-making saves you as it’s inventive, enthusiastic and very self-indulgent.

PISCES
Neptune, your personal planet, is really confusing everything as it clouds your judgment, allowing mistakes and errors to creep in. At home there could be a leak in your roof or plumbing problems. Even your dreams leave you with mixed messages. Accept love for what it is today - pure fun!

Unusually loving and nurturing, singles are attracting new lovers like bees to the honey-pot. But are they the kind of men you want? You’ll soon be bored if he can’t keep up with your love of challenges and goals, even if you enjoyed inspiring him at first. Freedom to indulge in wild, exotic sex rules today.

TAURUS
Your personal planet, Venus, is encouraging you to be more open and loving towards your man and everyone else, too. Colleagues will benefit from your relaxed friendliness, while the glamorous, but feminine sexual games you play tonight will totally entrance and entrap him - maybe forever...

GEMINI
You are always the butterfly, and today even more so as you move from friend to friend, subject to subject and even man to man collecting what you need from each. Deep down, though, you need the security of a more emotional man - but will he let you fly free?

CANCER
Today you don’t want any boundaries, you just want to feel free to be yourself, and to indulge in whatever form of sexual games you want. And Cancer has the most extensive repertoire of games in the zodiac... Watch out for mistakes at work; check and double-check, as Neptune is causing mischief.

LEO
There is lots of chatting, discussing and being in touch with friends as today is all about communication and ensuring that you are achieving your personal aspirations. What role do you play in the lives of friends, colleagues, business associates and organisations? In love, flattery will get you everywhere.

VIRGO
Today you seem to be in 'friend' rather than 'lover' mode. This is fine, as long as you show him you care by doing little things (like making a pot of tea, fetching him a beer or massaging his shoulders). Let him know you love him despite his faults.

LIBRA
You might not feel very emotional, no matter how hard you try, but that doesn’t mean you don’t want to indulge in some erotic, sexual play. You just have to hint that you do need romance in your life too. Actually, don’t hint - just tell him exactly what turns you on.

SCORPIO

A difficult day love-wise as you seem more detached and self-sufficient than usual, and your man will notice and wonder what’s going on. That is, if he's evolved enough to think it through as more than likely he’ll just shrug and move on. At least there’ll be peace in your retreat.

SAGITTARIUS
You have more vigour and drive today, but will this totally exhaust your man as you want to go to the latest new club, restaurant or show, and meet up with friends and socialise. Business colleagues will help you get your career up a few notches; as long as you don’t tire them out with your ideas.

CAPRICORN
Always subtle and sensitive, today sees your career and work highlighted. You need good relationships, harmony and a pleasant atmosphere, so paint your office space, bring in a plant or hang a painting. An office romance could be surfacing.

AQUARIUS
You could find it very hard today to express your feelings, becoming stiff and unapproachable; maybe even cold and aloof. Yet the right (maybe a bit rough?) man could easily turn you on again. Just remember that you do need to earn money, and this is a good day to discuss investments and savings.

PISCES
Today sees a dash of detachment from your usual overpowering emotions and feelings. Perhaps you won’t need that box of tissues… Tell him your dreams and fantasies; he may know just how to satisfy them. If you're looking for a long-term, committed relationship with shared values, he could be the one.

4 April 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/4-april-2012 PISCES
Frustration is controlling your love life, so get out the tissues. Nothing seems settled. Try not to overreact, and think before you speak. Your finances look a bit shaky - who is overspending? Keep a sharp eye on your bank account. Co-operating with those who matter works wonders.

ARIES
Personal freedom matters, so express your own, individual ideas - no matter how controversial or unusual. Insecurity in your love life suggests you’d love to be more independent, but this isn’t the time. Express your love as only you know how. You’ll survive, no matter what.

TAURUS

Be careful of over-indulgence today, and don’t take unnecessary risks in your love life. Romance should be fun and not too heavy. If you try to control him, he might just walk away. Don’t forget to have your routine health check, and sharpen up your diet and exercise plan.

GEMINI
Unexpected developments are both stimulating and challenging as your plans change. Everything seems a bit unpredictable, and you may be temporarily separated from your usual network of friends and family. Keep in touch. In love, moodiness rules. He’d better make it quick.

CANCER

Your life is bit predictable as you try to juggle your work life with your home and family. No-one seems to understand, so clear your mind and explain. Avoid getting angry, though, or it could escalate into serious stress. When it comes to love, you entertain him in the bedroom.

LEO
Broadening your mind is the issue, through travel, study or meeting up with new, interesting people from a different country and culture. Exchange thoughts and try out new ideas. Warning: avoid unnecessary risks. You want him all to yourself today.

VIRGO
Your probably don’t want to go out socialising today, and staying home with your man is just the turn-on you need. Your partner might have an unexpected money-making idea for you both, but don’t forget the legal contract. You don’t have to accept all his ideas.

LIBRA
The emphasis is on other people, but it is vital that your interests are taken into account too. Not everyone keeps their word, so ensure that you have a legal contract where finance is concerned. Love-wise, you need scented baths, candlelight and your favourite man because romance rules.

SCORPIO
Your work goes through some changes, and your organisational methods and planning for the future will be important. Expect other changes, too - the more flexible you are, the easier it will be to keep ahead of the game. A little mothering by your strong, virile man will ease the changes.

SAGITTARIUS

Your imagination and creative talents have no boundaries at the moment so develop them, and let colleagues and everyone know your ideas while keeping a sharp eye on the details. A few days away with your romantic partner could be the time to fulfil some of your more outrageous fantasies.

CAPRICORN
Is it time to cut some family ties and become more independent? Discuss everything with your family rather than having an argument. Keep your keys and any lease agreements or deeds safe. You need a soul mate who understands your carnal needs.

AQUARIUS
Don’t take on every new idea, suggestion or method offered, and independence of thought is vital. You just might need a new computer or electronic device, but investigate first. Your siblings and neighbours could be moving on. Be happy for them. Let your lover transform your life.

3 April 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/3-april-2012 PISCES
Let your confidence spill over. You know you can survive anything as long as you are motivated. The difficulty comes in controlling and directing it to the right places. Today passion rules, but if you are too competitive or argumentative, tensions will rise. In love, it’s hard, falling off that pedestal!

ARIES
With the Sun opposing your personal planet, Mars, it's vital that you slow down and try not to be too impulsive (very hard for Aries), otherwise you could end up either having an accident or an argument. Singles, great sex with a rugged, sexy boy will soon make you forget past love affairs.

TAURUS
It's time to make new friends, socialise and enjoy new and exciting entertainment. Don’t be afraid to change your plans at the last minute if necessary – the more flexible you are, the more fun you’ll have. Try not to over-indulge. Drinking and driving is a no-no.

GEMINI
You have difficulty concentrating today as there is just so much to be done; slow down a bit. At home, be careful of accidents in the kitchen or with sharp implements. Arguments with your family could flare up at any time. Let them have their say too... Don’t plan your love life - be spontaneous.

CANCER
Be careful of overreacting to your man as this could end in an argument or fight, with you on the losing end. The same goes for your love-life. You enjoy a dangerous fantasy sex life, but don’t make it too real over these next couple of days.

LEO
Your ruler, the Sun, is in hard aspect to Mars which means that taking unwise action with your finances and investments could have you losing everything. Be clever, think carefully and listen to what the experts have to say. Success can mean doing nothing. In love, stick to play-fighting.

VIRGO
You ooze self-confidence today, and are ready to take risks in everything you do. Normally you need to work with your man for real success, but today you want to take action and do everything yourself. You refuse to listen to his advice. What exotic sexual ideas can you dream up to boost his ego?

LIBRA
You want to succeed, and with your confidence you will, but being too intense and competitive will not be good for your health. Your sex life will suffer too. In sex, you need a sensitive man who knows exactly what you like.

SCORPIO
Go out and have some fun with your friends. An adventure and taking a few risks will take your mind off any worries. The setbacks come if you lose patience when things don't go your way immediately. Try to avoid confrontation, unless you can use it to spice up your sex life.

SAGITTARIUS
Arguments or a disagreement with your father or the man in your life are very likely today. Try not to overreact. Most things can be solved with a little understanding, but don’t waste your precious time on the impossible. You need a man with staying power to satisfy you today.

CAPRICORN
It’s the weekend, so don’t worry about things you can do nothing about – except, of course, if it involves your love and sex life. This seems to be enviably intense and passionate, as well as far more emotional than usual, but full of romance and love. Only he can give you that sense of fun.

AQUARIUS
It might be necessary to discuss money matters with your partner, but not if you are tense. What can you do to make the weekend lighter and happier? Socialise with friends, neighbours and siblings, and listen to your favourite music to soothe your soul. Rough play will boost your libido.

Making money today should be a breeze, but not if you are too opinionated or you’ll lose perspective and possibly even an important relationship. Just stay warm, friendly and helpful and don’t push too much to get your own way. Love-wise, falling head-over-heels at first sight could upset a relationship, but it's great for singles.

TAURUS

It’s the weekend - chill! You probably want to think about your personal independence. A few hours alone at home might help put things into perspective. Enter into love and romance with enthusiasm, and be ready for all the enjoyment this brings. Overindulgence could be dangerous; be careful!

GEMINI
You're more changeable than ever before, and your man will have to run fast to keep up with you. If he can catch you, it will be worth the effort. Friends won’t like it if you are too opinionated or bossy this weekend so cool it, relax and let them have their say, especially if they are confiding something to you. Just listen...

CANCER
Are you thinking about changing your career? There’s not much you can do until Monday, so relax and spend time socialising with friends. Family circumstances might mean you have to move on which is exciting, if a bit scary. Love-wise, take responsibility for yourself or your emotions could drown him.

LEO
Instead of just buying the first thing you see, take the time this weekend to shop around for the best prices, especially if they are big purchases (a car, Ipod, TV etc.). Your beauty and talents are in the spotlight, and your charm and friendliness will keep you there. Love-wise, you don’t always have to be in control.

VIRGO

Socialising or mixing with people from different cultures will be very stimulating, but not if you try to climb the social ladder through exaggerating the truth. Beware - the fall will be hard. Just be your usual, beautiful self. You're a seductive sex-pot today.

LIBRA
When you compromise, you really do have it all. Your friends are always willing to help you, and today even more so. The only problems that will arise come through extravagance, so only buy what you can afford and leave your credit card at home. Your libido needs satisfying, so don’t play too hard to get.

SCORPIO
Your career is going well, so stop worrying about it. Take time out to enjoy love and romance, and day dream, too, as energy follows thought. You don’t need to impress anyone; just be yourself. You might even ask someone for help. Can he satisfy your insatiable appetite?

SAGITTARIUS
Are you more flamboyant and creative than usual? It's time to pursue pleasure in a very self- indulgent way as luck is with you... You enjoy relationships with men from different backgrounds, and lust wins today. If applying for a new job, don’t be too opinionated or boastful.

CAPRICORN
Oh dear, it looks as if you are paying the price for over-indulgence... Never mind, let your family or partner take care of you - or spend a few hours at home, re-charging those inner batteries by resting. In love, stick to your fantasy life is you aren’t strong today.

AQUARIUS
Laugh, chat and socialise in your neighbourhood today - you might make some good contacts for a business partnership or even a love relationship. Mixing business with pleasure is easy today, though you might find you are losing some of your independence which isn’t so good. Love is unpredictable and informal.

PISCES
At work, don’t rush in, guns blazing, for an argument over money. It’s the weekend, so keep your cool and focus on love and friendship in all your relationships. Sharing the same values as your man will help keep the love partnership romantic and sexual. Let your sense of humour win.

If you said something yesterday in the spirit of honesty, but now regret having gone too far, saying sorry will help smooth hurt feelings. Your enthusiasm for your latest creative idea will make your work much easier, and you’ll soon see more money rolling in. In love, he’ll do exactly what you want.

TAURUS
Today is all to do with real love and romance, and letting your deepest feelings out rather than embarking on a quick fling. It’s a day to be indulged and nurtured, and to do whatever gives you pleasure. Singles can look forward to meeting someone new, too - just be yourself. It's a frustrating day at work, but things get better. Talk it through.

GEMINI
Discussions and meetings make for a very busy day at work as well as socially. Keep your stamina up by eating regular meals. Indulging in a secret romance or love affair might not work in your favour; be sure of what you are doing. Whatever happens, your sense of humour will help.

CANCER
You seem to have the support of business associates - is this is the time to discuss a raise in salary or a promotion? It is definitely time to turn your ideas into reality. Don’t sit back, dreaming; get on with it! You show love in an almost desperate way - hold back rather than rushing into another relationship.

LEO
Success at work could mean a business trip abroad, or are you planning a holiday? Spend some time on financial matters and get your papers in order, check your payments and ensure that noone owes you. Everyone is noticing you, so make sure you look the part. Love is anything but casual.

VIRGO
It might be a good idea not to talk about your private life; just get on with whatever you want to do, no matter how lusty and sensual. Take every opportunity for studying, getting a higher education and learning new skills. You are full of enthusiasm and energy. Plan a trip abroad, too.

LIBRA
It’s time to indulge your passions and you might find a friend very eager to turn the relationship into something more sexual, even if you don’t want anything more than just a fun fling. If nothing else, it’ll be an exciting interlude. Discuss problems at work with your colleagues until you come to an understanding.

SCORPIO
Career and work seem to take up most of your time today; tell them how you feel in an honest, but loving way. Your intuition will tell you what, when and how. Love-wise, the focus shouldn’t be on you, but on ensuring that there is love and harmony in all your relationships at work - at home, with friends, and your lover.

SAGITTARIUS
At work, it’s important that you share your knowledge and are prepared to learn from others, too, as this will really help your business relationships move up a notch or two. Routine work is easier when your office space is clean, tidy and beautiful. Your ego moves mountains, but does it move your man?

CAPRICORN
If your passions are ignited, it’s worth taking a few risks to get what you want, whether to do with your home, your work, money-making ventures or your love life. Your enthusiasm for life in general broadens your horizons. Don’t be elitist in your love life; just give in to the passion of the moment.

AQUARIUS
Energy is quite intense but passionate. However, if you worry too much about money, getting carried away with what your partner earns, you could find he is totally turned off. Discuss shared values rather than the smaller details. Your love life should be all about reciprocal give and take, not him giving and you taking.

PISCES
Talk about your salary with those who matter - contracts and negotiations are in your favour today, though they might take up more of your time than you’d hoped. Be willing to learn new skills to get even further up the corporate ladder. Love-wise, he has to be faithful, even while you need your space – difficult!

Not only is the Moon moving into Pisces, it will be in Pisces' own house so expect to be very emotional. You might want to spend time alone as other people’s problems just get too much. Let your man comfort you.

TAURUS
Friends, business associates and groups are the cause of very strong feelings as emotions run high, confusion abounds and you're feeling very vulnerable. Don’t make hasty decisions – think and meditate on them first. At home, if you can, enjoy some untamed sex.

GEMINI
You are probably too busy for love as your career, colleagues and other groups take up all your time today. It is all hard work as your creative talents are dampened by Saturn.

CANCER
Your career is important but you're dreaming of trips abroad, travelling to distant countries and meeting people from different cultures. If possible, mix business with pleasure. Is this a life-changing relationship?

LEO
There is intense, unrestrained passion in everything you do, but emotional security is more important today than anything else. Your man is being very generous with you today, and even the bank is offering you a loan.

VIRGO
Intense love and passion is one thing – but what is your man really offering? If he's restless or a bit unstable, you need to think about whether you can you handle this kind of relationship. Sex is extravagant and very memorable.

LIBRA
To work well you need to be emotionally involved with everything you're doing. The same goes for your love life: while you might enjoy a one-night affair, for real love to develop you have to have the emotional connection.

SCORPIO

Let your uniqueness spill over into everything you do. Give your creative talents time to develop, and you’ll soon see your dreams being fulfilled. Love-wise, you are in tune with him – but, is he the right one?

SAGITTARIUS
Do you long for the security of to your childhood home? If you live alone or with your man, you must make your living space a place of safety, peace as well as fun. You don’t need to be reminded of just how sexy you are.

CAPRICORN
You're very aware of what’s going in your life at the moment – no-one has to tell you anything. You're more imaginative than usual, and you can put this to good use when decorating or furnishing your home. Love thrives on tender sex.

AQUARIUS
You return to old family values, even if it feels a bit sentimental. Discuss your financial issues with experts rather than friends, siblings and neighbours. Unwise action will make finances worse. Love is fast and furious.

PISCES
You seem far more receptive and instinctive than usual as the Moon energizes your feelings and responses. Use your intuition to increase your finances – don't try to rely on anyone else to help. Love needs to be light rather than emotional and heavy.

Less in the mood for physical lovemaking, you're more in need of emotional closeness and support. But, this doesn't mean that when you relax you won’t be happy to indulge in some exciting sex, too. Your home and family provide comfort, while work is busy and productive. There are power issues to contend with.

TAURUS
Try not to feel sorry for yourself, jealous or envious of others or worry about the future. What will be, will be - you just have to trust that your creative talents and hard work will provide. Jupiter is bringing luck. Your sexual fantasies need to be satisfied - lucky him!

GEMINI
Don’t panic about over-spending - use your business contacts and associates to help you achieve the financial success and stability you need, even if it means you have to change your plans. If there's moodiness in your love life you need healing love rather than erotic sex.

CANCER
Changing your career goals could be causing either you or your colleagues some tension, even leading to a bit of conflict. Relax, but remain decisive even while being understanding about their fears. You have a unique sexual connection, but be ready with the tissues...

LEO
There is a bit of emotional tension; nothing serious, but use it to be softer and more maternal and loving. Dramatic love scenes could easily follow. Use the Sun’s energy to increase your knowledge and take your career up a few notches.

VIRGO
If your man doesn’t realise just how much love and nurturing you need today, you are certainly in the mood to tell him. Don’t let your erratic emotions get the better of you; relax, and let your femininity shine. Don’t be critical at work, and strive for independence.

LIBRA
Stubbornness works against you today. Be as adaptable as you can be about your career and concentrate on the long-term vision. You are a powerful woman and might not realise the effect you have on others. Today, love is romantic rather than sexually dramatic.

SCORPIO
At work you could encounter some opposition to your strong views. Being nurturing and understanding will bring more people on to your side than openly voicing your strong opinions. Sexually, something (or someone) is fanning your inner fire.

SAGITTARIUS
You don’t seem sure what or who you want today, and unpredictability rules. This doesn’t mean it isn’t an exciting day with some erotic love-making as well as a few tears. Finances could be a problem if you overspend. Power struggles at work cause tension.

CAPRICORN
You find the love and comfort you need in the safety of your own home where you can enjoy all your sexual fantasies without fear, and with the right man, of course. Do you have all the knowledge and training you need to rise up the career ladder? Explore new ideas.

AQUARIUS
At work your leadership skills will be needed. It's vital that you know exactly what is going on so listen, learn and research. A monetary error could be found in your favour, or someone could help you pay for a trip somewhere - good news! Don’t expect casual sex; there has to be commitment.

PISCES
You're more considerate than usual, but you're unexpectedly moody and temperamental, too. You’d be happier with more nurturing, however much you enjoy virile, macho sex. Your imagination soars today, helping fill your financial coffers.

Great business relationships help your career goals, and everything is working towards your success and increased finances. Your social life is fun and harmonious, too - make the most of today as you could make new friends and business contacts. Love is liberating.

TAURUS
This isn’t the best day to discuss finances or ask for a salary raise. Think about how to approach the matter, especially in a spirit of compromise, but wait a couple of days. There are great opportunities to travel coming up, business as well as holiday. Your beauty is appreciated.

GEMINI
A new, innovative business partnership or joint venture could be very lucrative, and your confidence in your abilities is infectious, but there’ll be the issue of who is the boss to sort out. Love-wise, keep it light, friendly and not too intense.

CANCER
If there is tension between you and your family over your work you’ll have to control your impulse to argue. You can agree, but it will take compromise on your part. Be polite, listen and appreciate the input. Don’t make instant decisions. Love is a healing experience for you both.

LEO
You're under pressure to discuss your ideas. Instead of refusing, be calm and tolerant and gently delay until you have more time. A power issue makes you feel uncomfortable at work - you are ready to take off as far away as possible. Sexual bliss brings great comfort tonight.

SAGITTARIUS
Love and romance get a huge boost today, and your confidence is spilling over onto everyone around you, especially your man. Do watch your spending, though - extravagance could be a real turn on, but also an even bigger turn-off.

CAPRICORN
Talk to your family and partner about helping you get all your work finished. The more organised you are, the quicker it’ll get done. Your creative talents shine through today, but focus on getting things organised first and then do the painting and décor afterwards. Love is a question of control - or lack thereof.

AQUARIUS
Your writing skills and creative imagination are shining today, and you excel in business meetings and community affairs. Take a more positive role; they need people with your skills and passion. Love-wise, there isn’t much emotional content, but you are the best of friends.

PISCES
Talk to your family and partner about any financial problems or issues, especially if these involve friends or colleagues - they could easily help clarify the situation if you seem to have lost your self confidence. Mars encourages to you to find a solid love bond.

If you want to get everyone to help you at work, being cooperative and working as part of a team will get you far. Watch your body language, too, as this shows your true feelings. Sexually uninhibited, you are in the mood for fast, furious love-making.

TAURUS
There are opportunities to meet someone new who has exciting ideas. Don’t rush into the relationship; be cautious, or you could end up disliking him as much as you liked him at first - especially if you feel you are giving up your power.

GEMINI
When you are happy with the role you play in the lives of your colleagues and friends, and when you feel you receive the right financial compensation for your work, you’ll be less likely to take your anger out on your family. Sex is liberal and exciting, but is there love?

CANCER
Your career goals and highest aspirations seem much easier to reach now. Talk to those involved about your new ideas, get everyone on your side and the adjustments you all have to make will be easy and natural. In love, spontaneity rules.

LEO
Your love life seems to be a lot of fun and you give each other space today, with no time to feel depressed or down. At work your unique, creative talents and imagination, especially if involved with writing, advertising or marketing, are a winning combination.

VIRGO
Combine your skills, passion with family connections and status, friends and even money to take your career aspirations up a notch. Don’t sit back, waiting for things to happen - get on with it. Love-wise, fake it if you aren’t in the mood and you'll soon change your mind.

LIBRA
Life today is all about living – friendly and balanced, with no fuss or emotional outbursts. You feel invigorated, full of new ideas and eager to learn new skills and garner as much information as you can, expressing your views in your own unique way. In sex, the freedom to experiment rules.

SCORPIO
The sun in Aries is not the easiest energy for intense Scorpio to cope with, but it will energise you if you let it. Don’t give in to headaches - use the energy to get on with those dull, routine jobs like filing, sorting out your office space and being efficient. Love feels pressured.

SAGITTARIUS
The pursuit of pleasure gets stronger all month, so indulge yourself. Let your creative skills and talents shine. Social events and leisure activities could impose on your work time. Balance is needed here so they blend rather than oppose. Light lovemaking rules.

You are making progress towards your financial goals at work, so don’t be envious of your colleagues or friends' successes. Keep to your plan, whilst still being open to new and innovative ideas. Love is compulsive. ]]>

You need to be kept interested in as many different things as possible as you are like a sponge, absorbing all kinds of information. Gossip is entertaining. Be careful not to over-tire yourself as you'll only get irritable and angry. Love is a party.

TAURUS
Love, hate and love again - your feelings are all over the place. Settle down and don’t criticise; instead, be as gentle and understanding as befits your nature. Not everyone does things like you which is rather a pity. In love, he’d better offer the glamour you so desperately need.

GEMINI
There isn’t much time for lovemaking (though you might fit in a quickie if he’s lucky) as there is just so much to do. Your clever, affectionate answers will satisfy him. You are the queen of gossip, knowing everything that is going on.

CANCER
Sensitivity rules today and you worry about even the smallest detail. You seem more than anxious to please, both in your love life and at work. Working as part of a group will bring the best results, but play your part quietly (and preferably alone).

LEO
Playful arguing could end in fun sex which is not too heavy or committed. Just don’t let your pride be crushed by anyone boorish or insensitive. Travelling or studying as part of a group will make it far more fun and you’ll learn more, too.

VIRGO
You seem a bit moody today and emotional problems need to be avoided if don’t want to make things worse. Sex could be very exciting, and take your mind off your troubles. Direct your passion towards your career if you want financial success.

LIBRA
Love is emotionally chilly, but remains sweet and friendly. Having the same values and an interest in making money will make it easier as your inspirations are more than usually practical – and, you are more than usually willing to compromise and find common ground.

SCORPIO
You want everyone to think you are a quick decision-maker, but on the inside you could be wavering about your decisions. Don’t miss out on any exciting opportunities. Love is better than usual - more passionate and lusty, but kind too.

SAGITTARIUS
You're charm personified today, and you use every trick in the book to get your own way from indulging in touchy-feely sex to outrageous manipulation. Your imagination works overtime with all the ideas, and whatever, you do, it works. Even your career goals go from strength to strength.

CAPRICORN
You are a very serious personality, but today your devilish sense of humour brings an added spice to your cleverness. Whatever you do, you are on a roll. Gain as much knowledge as you can, learn all the tricks and widen your horizons. In a nutshell, flirt with life.

AQUARIUS
Your love life, even in a committed relationship, feels more like a flirty fling today as it's great fun and spontaneous, but generous at the same time. The more ideas you can think up the better, but keep them light and fun.

PISCES
Self-confidence seems to missing from the mix today, and it is best not to make important decisions for a couple of days until you really know what you want to do. You want your man, but commitment could be difficult today, too. Even sex feels unimportant.

When you work as part of a team you’ll find you accomplish much more as well as increasing your knowledge. There could be an issue of leadership, but with a little positivity it will soon be sorted. The love your partner shows makes you feel protected and glowing.

TAURUS
Glowing with moonshine, you enter into romance with vitality and enthusiasm. At work, your creative talents are really appreciated and you can afford to take a few risks as you instinctively know what is right, what will sell, and what people want.

GEMINI
You are very open to the suggestions and advice of your colleagues at work and of your friends, especially in matters to do with health (your own or that of someone close). You do have to make up your own mind, so listen and evaluate. You're in a provocative mood today, and you can really drive your man wild.

CANCER
Your sexual prowess could be overshadowed by your emotions today. Let your sense of humour shine through and all will be fine. At work, your business associates are actively encouraging your career goals. Take them to the next level and beyond.

LEO
You are in a win-win situation today, and inspired in many directions, all of which will brighten up your future. Expand your horizons and advance your knowledge - everything you learn will be worthwhile. Making money seems to be a breeze. In love, you're at a sexual peak, too.

VIRGO
A quick shag just won’t do it for you today - you want marriage, commitment and to be in it for the long-term. What does he want, though? Don’t force him into something he just isn’t ready for as it will only end in tears. Your competitive spirit is inspiring, so use it as the situation demands.

LIBRA

Love is an experience neither of you will forget, even if it doesn’t develop into anything deeper as you like your independence. Meantime, it is sentimental and sensually passionate. At work, you’ll achieve more when working alone. Collaborate only when necessary.

SCORPIO
Keeping to your daily routine and being as organized as possible will make your life much easier. Plus, you’ll get much more done. Love is still on your mind, though you’d like a steady relationship that builds up slowly to a crescendo. Take a risk with a friend – he could be the one.

SAGITTARIUS
You want everyone to notice you (you mean they don’t already?), but in a very positive way which means working harder than usual, using your creative talents and letting Jupiter add that special dash of luck. You want more of everything; all you have to do is take it…

CAPRICORN
Love is in the home today, and your relationship is quiet and unassuming, but very connected and warm. This could be the real thing as he seems ready to indulge your every whim. Your imagination is flowing in all directions, and everything you touch is a success.

AQUARIUS
You want to be in touch with as many people as possible, exchanging ideas and picking up information on whatever you do. Go on the web as you need the safety and protection of your home tonight, as well as the support of your man to satisfy your buzzing libido.

PISCES
Making money should be your priority instead of your love life. Sex-wise, you have the desire and the energy - but is he the one? The way Jupiter is bringing luck, he could well be... or else, you’ll soon meet that special someone. The Sun says that whoever he is, he has to have the same values.

25 March 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/25-march-2012 ARIES
You are very aware of what others want and need and, with your usual decisiveness and quick reactions, are able to take full advantage while changing things for the better for everyone - so start planning. Be seen socialising. You're looking great, so show yourself off.

TAURUS
You want not only to look your best, but to have every aspect of your life in harmony including work, friends and love. The problem comes when even one small element is out of sync. Relax, go with the flow and enjoy emotional, but comforting love making.

GEMINI
Today is not the day to talk about your private affairs. You’ll have more success if you keep things to yourself. Use your intuition to help gain inner strength, and help will come just when you need it. Discuss a joint business partnership with your man. It could really work.

CANCER
You are happiest when your man is safe, steady and a good friend as well as a sexually charged lover. Keep your naughtier secrets to yourself. This is a good day to discuss your career path with your family and friends, though they may not understand your dreams.

LEO

You are probably at your most stubborn today. You know exactly what you want, and won’t back down - even if you secretly know you are wrong. You have power, but the trick is to use it wisely. Your sexual needs are huge, and you need an even hotter lover.

VIRGO
You don’t need to worry so much - Jupiter is ensuring an interesting, but ultimately lucky time with opportunities to broaden your outlook, teach you new skills and maybe have you travelling abroad as well. Even your most erotic appetite will be satisfied now.

LIBRA
You're given financial help just when you need it - as long as you aren’t wasting your money or being too extravagant. You also demand greater sexual enjoyment, and Jupiter is bringing luck to your love life with opportunities to satisfy your lusty nature.

SCORPIO
Jupiter brings luck, intellectual stimulation and business potential through the friends you make now - your business contacts as well as potential lovers. Even though this is the weekend, you can still network. Love-wise, sex seems like an addiction... who on earth can satisfy it?

SAGITTARIUS
You are still in personal pleasure mode. Take time out today to do whatever you want, even if it means cajoling him into doing things he doesn’t like (a picnic at your favourite beauty spot instead of lolling on the couch watching rugby?). The promise of totally indulgent sex will help.

CAPRICORN
Using your creative talents at home will help convert your space into the perfect nest - a safe haven which is beautiful, warm and inviting, but with a touch of luxe. It's a good day to invite family and friends over. Relax in love as Jupiter is adding a touch of romance.

AQUARIUS
Your home is your retreat today, especially if the trials of life are getting too great. Property transactions should be successful; discuss them with your family. Love-wise, you are unusually passionate tonight.

PISCES
Neighbourhood and community activities take up your day, unless your siblings need you, too. A short trip is possible. If you can, find time to relax and catch up on reading, relaxing and listening to music. In love, harmony rules as you are even more feminine than usual…

24 March 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/24-march-2012 ARIES
The last thing you need to do is eat comfort food, though a few squares of dark chocolate could do wonders (purely medicinally, of course...). Change is inevitable; look at it as an adventure rather than fearing it. In love, he has to be acceptable in your social circle.

TAURUS
By tomorrow you’ll see the benefits of the Moon moving into Taurus, even though it means you’ll probably over-indulge in everything from friendship to love, and earning to spending. Difficulties at work make you depressed; don’t be judgemental. Comfort sex is better for you than comfort food.

GEMINI
Blowing your top, getting angry and disagreeing with everything your partner and family say won’t help solve anything, but will just make the situation worse. Slow down and find solutions. Love is not the most exciting, so you’ll have to dream up something new...

CANCER
Concentrate on your career and on the direction you want to go next. This evening it is all about friendship, group meetings and just how much influence you have or benefit you are gaining from the involvement. Give as well as taking. Love is volatile and emotional, which can be very tiring.

LEO
You thrive when love is stable and routine is in place; then you feel secure enough to relax and really enjoy whatever life and love have to offer. If this involves travelling and adventure today, so much the better. Tonight you are tireless... has he trained for this marathon?

VIRGO
You started off the day interested in his bank balance, by this evening you’ll be far more interested in his intellect, spiritual leanings and beliefs. It's a good time to plan a trip together - this will give you great insights into his real self. In love, you could be on a winning streak.

LIBRA
If you start off the day being overly adaptive to his needs, you could end up more interested in any money or status you’d gain by your present relationship. You instinctively know that being financially independent will benefit the relationship, and help you to enjoy lavish sex.

SCORPIO
Lusty love might start the day, but by tonight you want a partner who is loving and even (dare I say it?) motherly towards you. That doesn’t mean he isn’t sexual and macho, but he has to have a caring side, too. You aren’t easy to please! Progressive innovation at work rules.

SAGITTARIUS

Romance rules this morning, but by this evening you want a man who can provide security, comfort and routine. He still has to offer adventure and bring in the money. Anything less will damage your health.

CAPRICORN
Last night you found comfort with your family, even withdrawing from your friends to indulge in the comforts of home. Tonight, you need friends and an active social life as well as a lover who brings you romance as well as enduring love. You are quite ready to move home.

AQUARIUS
The day is filled with new, exciting ideas, the exchange of information, meetings, discussions and being motivated by everyone you meet. Tonight is the time to relax with your favourite man, enjoying the security of your own home. You need your independence.

PISCES
Sentiment rules the morning as you worry about your emotional security. Later, though, your intuition kicks in and you seem to know exactly what others are thinking. Being rational could be a problem and you'll probably overreact. Your man will switch on your libido through pampering.

23 March 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/23-march-2012 ARIES
The Sun, Venus and Uranus are in an uneasy combination so that you question everything, and are excited about change but need to watch that you don’t go OTT. Your values could be prejudiced if you allow unworthy people into your life. Love is fast and furious.

TAURUS
Your personal planet, Venus, is in an uneasy truce with both the Sun and Uranus leaving you ready to hide away from everyone as you think about what you really want in your life. You could be in for a surprise... Love is exciting and unconventional.

GEMINI
Making new friends could become a priority, the more unconventional and exciting, the better. Be careful, though, as they could disrupt your life and stop you achieving your goals or, even worse, cost you money. It’s vital you are friends as well as exciting lovers for the relationship to work.

CANCER
Your life, and especially your career, are extremely eventful at the moment as you change direction and achieve more independence. Exciting! Don’t just change for change's sake – question and think first. The same goes for your love life where spontaneity rules.

LEO
Conventional Leo, you're having some very unconventional thoughts today. Everything you do has to be highly stimulating, and you want change, excitement and a broader understanding of everything from religion to alternative ways of living. An illicit, forbidden affair is on the cards - or, is it all in your head?

VIRGO
An unexpected death or medical emergency (not necessarily concerning anyone close to you) makes you look at life in an entirely new way, encouraging you to be more resourceful and financially independent. Someone from a different culture or country has an interesting perspective. Love is creative.

LIBRA
You could unexpectedly and quickly take up with an exciting new love or business partner. If you haven’t planned this, be aware that it could end just as quickly as it started as negotiations and contracts don’t seem reliable. Antagonism could end what started as love.

SCORPIO

You want to work with people who have something interesting, exciting and new to teach you. This could mean you change jobs within or outside your present employment. Don’t rush into anything, but think carefully first. Your love life is enviably exciting and glamorous, even if it won’t last.

SAGITTARIUS
Your social life is becoming more unpredictable, with either loads of invitations or nothing at all. The same goes for your creative imagination which is either wild and adventurous or just plain dull. Love is unpredictable and far too emotional.

CAPRICORN
The unpredictability of the Sun conjunct Uranus makes your home life a bit changeable as one minute you want to start renovating and decorating, change the garage into an office, build a granny flat and the next, you decide to move house. How does your man (and family) cope?

AQUARIUS
Be careful on the road as your car or transport could break down. You may have to travel further and more often, too. You are interested in improving your neighbourhood, but not everyone agrees with your ideas. Go for it anyway! A close friend can give you sexual advice.

PISCES
Groups and friends could easily encourage you to spend or waste money which you can ill afford. You’ll just have to use those innovative ideas to make up for the loss. Love, like many things in your life at present, is a bit OTT - try to cool it a bit.

22 March 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/22-march-2012 ARIES
The New Moon conjuncts the Sun, Mercury and Uranus which means it’s time to be yourself, be spontaneous and use all your dynamic energy to help you succeed in achieving your dreams. A really strong self-image will help, too, whether it's a new hairstyle or updating your wardrobe. It’ll revitalise your sex life, too.

TAURUS

It’s quite a heavy day as you decide to leave any past fears, resentments and failures behind and more forward in an unexpected, but positive way. Talk about a new beginning... You feel strong and independent, and ready for anything. Strong and feminine, you demand earthy lovemaking today.

GEMINI
Whatever you want you can get now - if you make the effort. You are more intense than usual, especially when talking to business associates and friends. The quality of these relationships is the issue, so give as well as taking; be generous. Sexually, does his stamina match yours?

CANCER
Take your life wherever you want it to go - there are no limits to reaching your vision as life goes in an entirely new direction. Finances will improve, too, but don’t overspend. Spontaneity is the key - it will help heal your love life if this is going through a negative patch.

LEO
Life is wonderful, if unpredictable. You might suddenly decide to change career or even move country. Or, you could decide to join a different church or even religion. This is the perfect time to plan or embark on an overseas trip. Place no limitations on yourself, including in your love life.

VIRGO
Your attitude towards joint income, property and managing money becomes more intense as you develop your talents more deeply in whatever area interests you. Your health is improving, too. The way you support your partner’s ambitions brings renewed passion to your love life.

LIBRA
You have greater influence over your friends and business associates as the Aries energy encourages you to become more cooperative, but still forceful and assertive. This is a really good time to negotiate contracts, terms and conditions. Sex is wild, but expect conflict between you and your man.

SCORPIO
Your health house is strong, but radical ideas for diet and exercise need to be checked out with professionals. Expect your work schedule to change - the more adaptable you are, the easier it’ll be to cope. Plan, focus and be as organised as possible. Love is glamorous, but will it last?

SAGITTARIUS
You thrive with so much Arian energy. Your creative talents really show, especially if you are a writer, journalist or in the entertainment industry. Your imagination runs almost out of control, and your luck improves, too. Love has to be fun rather than deep or heavy.

CAPRICORN
Your interest in your family, your home and your domestic life soars in this New Moon. Whatever you want can be achieved now; in the meantime, though, your home life is quite unpredictable. Your love life too is affected by the Arian energy, and you need your independence.

AQUARIUS
The more people you meet, the more your ideas change and grow in unpredictable ways. You need to develop new skills if you are to keep pace with the latest technology. Social activities with neighbours and siblings demand your attention. Lovemaking is light and playful.

PISCES
The Aries Sun, Moon, Mercury and Uranus working in unison energise you into improving your finances. Everyone is ready to help as soon as they see your ambition and integrity, but it will take some hard work, too. Love-wise, you are both demure and demanding – a difficult combination.

As The Sun moves into your own sign, it's time to take greater pride in yourself as an energetic leader, believing in yourself and taking risks. Impulsiveness is probably your biggest danger... You are the great femme fatale today, but does he appreciate it?

TAURUS
As the Sun moves into Aries, you are even more warm and affectionate towards your friends, especially the ones who share your values and love of beauty. Colleagues have to be reliable and conscientious. You need your lover to be your friend, too - and remarkable in bed!

GEMINI
The Sun moving into Aries suggests you are focussed on the role you play in the lives of your friends, colleagues and business associations, and your leadership skills are inspiring. You are ready for a solid, committed relationship, love and sex happening in tandem.

CANCER
This month sees your professional status being the priority, and the opinions of those who matter are very important. Is your life going in the right direction? Assess your ambitions, and think about how you are going to succeed. Exaggerated feelings rule, but don’t mistake sex for love.

LEO
You expect your partner to be as loyal, supportive, warm and generous as you, whether in business or in love. Pursue further training or travelling in order to widen your horizons and ensure that you make serious money. Your feelings are both romantic and intense, and the sex is unforgettable.

VIRGO
Research becomes your pursuit when the Sun moves into Aries. Your status or finances could change, and it’s important for you to be financially independent. Try not to get into debt. Laziness could be a problem tonight; you’ll have to work hard to make it exciting.

LIBRA
As the Sun moves into Aries your influence over your friends, colleagues and especially your partner is highlighted. You are strong and forceful, though still very romantic towards your lover. Sex is not always a priority for you, though tonight looks promising.

SCORPIO
The Arian Sun puts the emphasis on your daily work routines as well as on your health. You know what you have to do to achieve, and tenacity rules. No problem is too big. Health-wise, learn to relax and to de-stress. Love-wise, is your man keeping a secret?

SAGITTARIUS
You have many interests which range from using your creative talents to climbing mountains and have adventures. Jupiter rules your sign so you usually have luck and success in everything you do. Your intuition rules your love life. Use it!

CAPRICORN
Your home and family are the focus this month. You need your home to be well-kept, so are ready to do some decorating and renovations. You love having your family around, and you enjoy doing everything together. Love is more about friendship today, and it's both serious and emotional.

AQUARIUS
If you want to take your computer skills to a higher level, now is the time. Gather information, study and read as the flow of information intensifies. You could be asked to teach or get involved in community affairs. Love could be out of control, sexually. Inspiration rules.

PISCES
Your self-esteem is very important - do you value yourself as much as everyone else? Your finances should be improving this month and if not, why not? Keep to your value system of integrity and generosity. Love and sex are totally exhausting tonight... lucky you!

Now is the time to face any career worries and fears - what will make you really fulfilled? You are so gifted and competent that if you just get on with it, you’ll soon reach far more than your goals. You just have to believe in yourself. Mutual pampering rules tonight.

ARIES
It's time to follow your intuition and to do what you instinctively know is right, not only for you but for those around you, too. Integrity is the key. Do watch your stress levels today as arguments at work will only leave you with a bad headache. Your love life is rich and comforting tonight.

TAURUS
You don’t need others to tell you how good you are - you know by now. At the same time, it won’t hurt to let others know how good they are and how much you appreciate them. Getting angry with colleagues won’t help; keep your cool. Love-wise, long-term commitment could happen.

GEMINI
Love-wise, you could be more demanding than usual, which surprises your man. You need to share values and goals for a successful relationship - it’s no use glossing over important differences. Use your intuition at work, and you’ll find it much easier to satisfy your goals.

CANCER
Ruling emotional action, you feel the pain and the fear but know you have to do it anyway. You want to be independent, but sometimes you have to share. When you participate fully in your relationship it will be a win-win situation. Take a box of tissues to bed with you as emotions rule.

LEO
You need to feel loved and needed, so stop worrying and let it happen. Your strength lies in bringing justice, harmony and equality to every situation, but mostly in lifting the spirits of everyone around you. You're in a romantic mood today, and taking the sexual lead will excite.

VIRGO
You don’t have to be what your partner wants; just be your usual lovely shy, funny and compassionate self. If that isn’t good enough, then gently let him go and be ready for real love. Stop worrying about not being perfect as no-one is, especially whoever is criticising you.

LIBRA
There is an air of mystery about you today - go on, drive him wild! At work, it's time to really connect with others, and to listen to your colleagues' hopes and dreams as well as sharing your own. Don’t forget to share your doubts and fears. You’ll all accomplish so much more.

SCORPIO
Don’t be too trusting with money. It's time to empower yourself by accepting responsibility for your own finances. Write down your expenses and earnings, don’t spend more than you earn. When you have a secure base, only then you can help others. Love is fathomless...

SAGITTARIUS
It’s time to acknowledge boundaries - your own, as well as those of your friends and partner. Try not to overstep the mark or let others invade your space. Balance is needed in all relationships. Set up a home office or take on extra work from home. In sex, your primal instincts are activated.

CAPRICORN
Stop trying to escape from reality, whether through drugs, alcohol, excessive sleep, sex or even overwork. Your brilliant imagination needs to focus on your vision, and work that is inspired, spiritual and helpful to everyone. Love and sex are win-win tonight.

AQUARIUS
Let love happen! You are generous of spirit, helpful and uplifting to those around you; try to show these qualities to yourself, too. Money-wise, research everything carefully, taking a loan from a bank only where you know what interest will be charged. Sex is fast, furious but very erotic.

You might find self-control difficult today, and give in to bouts of moodiness. Let the past go, and focus on your new goals. Participate in active, boisterous group efforts and team sports as well as erotic sexual activity. Be tolerant - of yourself and everyone else.

ARIES
You probably need to learn to be a bit more patient today as you want immediate answers and quick action which could end in an accident. Spend time alone listening to your intuition, and follow its guidance. Energy and enthusiasm guide your love life.

TAURUS
You have a great attachment to beautiful (and expensive) things that bring comfort, as well as a propensity to over-indulgence in good food and drink. Release your attachment to things and bring new, exciting people into your life. Let your lover bring you renewed sexual vitality.

GEMINI
It is time to give up a long string of relationships that no longer fulfil your needs and have just one deep relationship where you offer support and love rather than expecting them only to be given to you. You’ll be surprised at how your career will take off, too.

CANCER
Bringing order into your life will make you more self-confident, enabling you to focus on what’s happening right now instead of on the past or the future. You need to trust yourself rather than finding a mentor or someone else to save you. Intimate, exhausting and chaotic sex satisfies.

LEO
You can either follow your heart or your intellect, but if you can get the two to merge, you’ll have it all. Take a few risks, be enthusiastic and confident, and enjoy your life! It’s time to use those creative talents. Let your man lead you to multiple orgasms.

VIRGO
You don’t have to control anything at all, except the way you nurture and support yourself and your lover, friends and associates. Life doesn’t have to be hard slog - let others help you for a change. You can start off by bringing a few surprises to the bedroom.

LIBRA
It’s all about balance - try to see both sides of the situation before making a stance. Taking yourself too seriously will stop you connecting with other people. Listen, and don’t make assumptions. Find happiness and joy in the present moment, and lighten up your man’s life.

SCORPIO
Looking for a soul-mate? Don’t rush the relationship - take your time. Physical affection, touching and kissing will show you when it’s right. Honesty is necessary, both to yourself and to him. Shared values and goals will be invaluable. When it is right, you’ll easily withstand the bad patches.

SAGITTARIUS
You need to be your own person, so take your courage and make some decisions which ensure that you do the things that bring you joy and nurturing. Only then will you develop a healthy partnership of equal sharing. Whether single or in a partnership, you always exude an air of lusty sex.

CAPRICORN
Compassion is the theme today. Don’t blame or find fault with everyone, and stop worrying about making mistakes. Be kind and generous, and embrace the changes in your life, even if it means giving up a relationship. Remember, a freer, improved life will emerge.

AQUARIUS
If you insist on having your own way you’ll have fewer friends, nobody will listen to your advice, and you won’t earn their approval. Be patient with your lover, and listen to what he has to say. If you do, the sexual sky really will be the limit.

Your personal influence and control over everyone in your group (friends and business associates) will bring you greater self-confidence as they listen to your innovative money-making ideas. You expect your man to dote on you, but does he also listen?

ARIES
You’re in a sober mood today, planning and thinking carefully rather than rushing into things. You’ll find your career gets a huge boost when you put your ideas into action. Let your man win in the competitive stakes if you want erotic love-making.

TAURUS
Knowledge is power and you certainly don’t need to talk about any secrets you’ve heard - just be still and listen. Don’t use it to gain control over others. Your attitude towards widening your horizons is encouraging you to travel and study. In love, do everything that is right for you... 

GEMINI
It’s time to give up something that isn’t working for you in order to gain something else. This might be frightening, but you know instinctively whether or not it is right for you. Be positive. Love-wise, you are more understanding than usual, making love a treasure trail of excitement.

CANCER
The relationships and alliances you make now will benefit you in the future. Be confident and take your power, even if it does mean terminating unhealthy partnerships. You need space to be yourself today - which doesn’t mean you don’t want wild sex.

LEO
There is the chance of promotion which will mean added responsibilities and a change in the way you work. More research will be needed, and you’ll probably have to give more service to others but with your usual dignity intact. Your love of living spills into your sex life, and it’s feverish!

VIRGO
Constructive changes will make your life more creative in an intense and focused way. Trying to manipulate and control your man will have the opposite effect - it’s time to gain a deeper understanding of his needs. Meet halfway if necessary.

LIBRA
Being more than usually confident, you could well be ready to leave the family home and strike out on your own. Another scenario is moving house, buying or renting and perhaps sharing with friends. Exciting! Love-wise, your feelings could suddenly change. Be kind.

SCORPIO
You feel powerful enough to have your say in community and neighbourhood matters, as well as to your siblings and neighbours. Try not to be too intense and dramatic as it could scare them away. You expect your man to do your bidding today, and you can be quite chilly if he doesn’t.

SAGITTARIUS
Your present self-confidence and good judgment help you reach your financial goals, but don’t let material possessions and money become too important. Using money to manipulate others is also a total no-no. Love-wise, anything is possible. Just make it fun.

CAPRICORN

Even though you aren’t interested in anyone’s advice, you have the persistence and confident to know what is right for you - and to go for it. Use this newfound power to lift your life to new heights. Battles in your love life are debilitating, but loyalty and understanding will help.

AQUARIUS
You realise just how powerful a personality you are - and how easy it will be to dispel any worries and fears as your self-confidence rises. You’ll probably be more interested in helping the needy and less fortunate, too. Let your love life be sexy, wild and fun.

17 March 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/17-march-2012 PISCES
A quiet day, but you go emotionally OTT - even as you try desperately to remain aloof. Rather than trying to change your friends and lovers, why not express your own individuality? They’ll be eager to follow. Love is dark and erotic.

ARIES
This is a good weekend to spend some time on your own to think things over and plan how to transform your work to in order to achieve your career goals. Later, give in to your man and enjoy some very raunchy and erotic sex. You might want to warn everyone that you are more erratic and unpredictable than usual.

TAURUS
You want everyone to listen to your tales of woe, but you are equally ready and willing to hear what others have to say which makes you very popular. Try not to overreact at home, no matter how provoked. Stellar sex is very liberating.

GEMINI
Your love life could feel a bit unstable today as you search for perfection. Give in to generosity and allow your partner to fulfil your sexual appetite. There don’t seem to be too many worries, career-wise, though you dream of travelling the world. Start planning.

CANCER
Peace and harmony with your favourite man? Probably not! Fierce fighting might just be the rule today, but it will end in almost frenzied sex. As the wildest of all the signs, you just can’t go wrong. Take extra care when travelling.

LEO
For once, your man doesn’t seem to give in to your demands, and you seem more fun and spontaneous than usual. There is a lot of sexual passion there, too, though some of you might be far too tired from working overtime or doing extra work to make ends meet.

VIRGO
All work and no play will make you dull, tired and miserable. Luckily, you know exactly how to make your love life exciting, even eagerly fulfilling your man’s fantasies as well as your own. Mars is bringing the energy, but making you feel restless.

LIBRA
Plan to bring a more fun element into your working life. Do the planning now so that you’ll be ready on Monday to get your colleagues interested and ready to help. One of your male colleagues might pose opposition - be warned. Romance as well as passion leads to an amazing sexual romp.

SCORPIO
You seem more maternal than passionate today, and your home life is very romantic and loving which should inspire your man into making a greater effort. Friends are the source of your inspiration, and you can expect a lot of fun whether entertaining at home or out visiting.

SAGITTARIUS
Even though it’s the weekend, this doesn’t mean you won’t be noticed. Use every activity to promote yourself or launch a campaign on someone else’s behalf. People listen to you today as you have something new and different to say. You almost demand commitment. What does he say?

CAPRICORN
You are feeling calmer and more stable today, and your intelligence shows through. You have some innovative ideas, but won’t go out of your way to explain them to anyone you think dull or unworthy. Try to be tactful. Love is a bit passive.

AQUARIUS
You might be the best organiser around, especially in your home and family space, but you’ll get more gratitude if you listen to what others have to say (you don’t have to go along with their ideas, just listen!). In love, secrecy and intrigue rule.

16 March 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/16-march-2012 PISCES
Your love life seems to be more than meeting your expectations, and is fun and energetic. At work, new joint ventures are potentially very prosperous as everyone is co-operative and helpful. Use your new-found optimism and you’ll succeed. Friendship can turn to a mind-blowing sexual partnership.

ARIES
As you work towards your career goals, you can see your bank balance increasing. The trick, now, is not to overspend, but to invest wisely. Luckily your positive attitude and quick reactions mean you usually make the right decisions. In love, you seem a little quieter and more sober than usual.

TAURUS
You attract everyone to you today - a new romance, a business opportunity, and invitations to join a business association are on the cards. Go with whatever suits you. You instinctively know what the public wants, and this is your key to success. In love, classy men aren’t always the most exciting.

GEMINI
Secrets abound... don’t talk about everything that happens to you, especially when it relates to your finances, a salary raise or a promotion. A property deal could be very successful now, too. Listen to your intuition. You seem more determined in your love life, and less of a social butterfly.

CANCER
This is one of those really successful days where you accomplish everything you set out to do with the help and support of your friends and business associates. Your ideas are welcomed, and discussions are fruitful. Sex is mind-blowingly carnal - just as you like it!

LEO
Don’t waste your time sitting back; now is the time to get out there and show off your skills and knowledge. Devote some of your time to your financial and business concerns - your luck will increase your income. Sex is stylish, but with added heat.

VIRGO
Talk about energy! Your competitive spirit adds fire and you become almost aggressive in your desire to succeed. Widen your horizons and take advanced training in order to realise that success is possible in everything you do. Sex isn’t the focus today as you have other things on your mind.

LIBRA
When it comes to your finances, you’ll probably achieve far more when working from behind the scenes than being in the front - listen and learn! Sexual enjoyment is possible, especially if he understands your own unique way of living. Try to let go and enjoy...

SCORPIO
An instinctive leader, your interest in human rights and other similar issues strengthens. Get on your proverbial soap-box and tell the world what should happen as you have both the ideas and the means to put them across. Are you obsessed by sex, or by him?

SAGITTARIUS
Job seekers should have great success now as career prospects improve and there could be financial rewards to match. You will have more responsibilities at work, and maybe a pay rise too. Love-wise, there doesn’t seem much commitment tonight, but a lot of randy fun.

CAPRICORN
Your imagination works overtime. Let your creative talents shine and make your work even more successful, and use your energy and inspiration to expand your favourite hobby into a money-making success. If you are still only thinking about him as a lover, then perhaps you should forget it.

AQUARIUS
You want to be seen as successful and having a large, grand home could be the way forward - or, you could decide to build on or renovate. Remember the small detail and don’t get too carried away with enthusiasm. Try not to talk too much in bed. Instead, use your humour and elements of surprise.

15 March 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/15-march-2012 PISCES
Career, money and even your love life look great today. Most things are enjoyable and worthwhile as you try to transform everything to suit you, though you might be better off working alone as group energy could be stressful. Sensual sex suits...

ARIES
Career-wise, you could experience a lack of co-operation from your colleagues, and even daily tasks will be difficult to accomplish. If you make the effort to share power and be extra enthusiastic and helpful, it will be a lot easier. Drama and fantasy rules your love life.

TAURUS
Knowledge is power, and you have the opportunity to present your ideas and information in great depth to the benefit of many people. Singles, there are opportunities to meet someone from a different culture, and love and romance are waiting... Sex has to be luxurious for you to be satisfied.

GEMINI
Your resourcefulness and talents are key to your financial independence. You could also receive monetary help, a release from a debt or other favours, maybe from family or an inheritance. This does not mean you have to sit back - work is essential. Love is not the most adventurous day.

CANCER
You really do want your love life to be a mind-blowing experience - is it time to be brutally honest with your partner? Your career takes off when you work with groups, and you might have to deviate from your usual routine and take a few risks.

LEO
You are ready for less independence and more togetherness and commitment, but is he? Sexually, you seem more daring than usual - the question is whether he lives up to your needs... There is confusion about your latest creative efforts and whether they’ll earn you the money you need.

VIRGO
A difference of opinion at home could adversely affect your love life, and you might feel hurt by a lack of romance... Don’t overreact - tomorrow will be better, especially if you drop a few unsubtle hints. A trip away (with or without your man) to broaden your horizons will be exciting and inspiring.

LIBRA
You want to keep something important to yourself, but others try to share this information. Conflict could arise, and you’ll have to do some fast talking and work alone so you can get everything finished. Intense feelings of love need release. Be impulsive!

SCORPIO
Intensity is the name of the game today, and you are only interested in the things that make you happy and successful. Working with others might be stressful, but you’ll succeed more than when working alone. Sex-wise, is it love or an obsession? And, does he feel the same way?

SAGITTARIUS
You want someone who is not only socially acceptable, but who has the money to keep you as living the high life. It’s time to promote yourself, but that means everyone will know everything about you. Do you mind? Sex-wise, does reality measure up to your fantasies?

CAPRICORN
Love and sex is steady are snug, and just a tiny bit boring. Stop worrying what others think and let his body tell you what to do. You might be seduced into acts you’ve only fantasized about. Don't worry, you don’t have to tell anyone... You can achieve all your dreams today; just go with the flow.

AQUARIUS
Let the battle commence! Group energies will be exciting, but you’ll have to do some fast talking. This will be extremely enjoyable and passionate, though it means you’ll have to co-operate for once. Love is all about power, control and passion - let it all go.

Venus and Jupiter are conjunct with Mars and Pluto, so use your good ideas to develop community activities. Your influence and status rises considerably amongst neighbours, friends and groups. Singles, your physical attractiveness means no lack of romance and would-be lovers.

ARIES
The grand trine between Venus and Jupiter with Mars and Pluto means you are making money, but are probably also spending it far too freely. Don’t lose your financial values. You have the energy -now you need to be organized and hardworking. In love, there are no rules. It’s primal!

TAURUS
Release anything and everything that has been holding you back, and use your inner passion to unleash your energy and creative skills. There is financial luck coming your way, too – check out your investments. Sex-wise, your libido will finally be satisfied.

GEMINI
There could be a new lover in your life, but don’t talk about it too much, even if it doesn’t have to be a total secret. It’s quite an intense time, and you’ll have to learn to share and trust. Use your intuition to guide you. Give in to love rather than being too calculating.

CANCER
It’s time to go with the flow of love and friendship rather than being too cold and analytical about it. You will make extremely powerful alliances, even if they don’t turn into full-blown love affairs. You don’t have to let him know he’s a second-class lover compared to you. Fake it!

LEO
Today is all about power at work, and when you take control of your work and your finances, your career can only go one way - up. And, fast! Don’t delay, make the necessary changes and then let everyone know your opinions and ideas. Love is a delicious mix of pampering and teasing.

VIRGO
You make the right decisions, but everyone else’s decisions help you, too. You are inspired in so many different directions, and you have the energy and the drive to do and be anything you choose. Financially you are on a winning streak, too. Are you too tired for sex?

LIBRA
Your two financial planets, Venus and Pluto, are in a grand trine with Mars and Jupiter which lifts your finances up quite a few notches. Sex-wise, this is a very active and passionate time - and enjoyable, too. You decide where you want to live. Don’t let anyone influence you.

SCORPIO
Your ideas are more intense than ever - even for you, Ms Scorpio! You gain through the assistance of friends and associates; in fact, it is more about helping others achieve than yourself. This generosity of spirit returns to you in every way, especially financially. In sex, it’s all in the climax.

SAGITTARIUS
Beautifying your work space might cost a bit more than you want, but it will be well worth the time and effort as it’ll not only improve your health, but the quality of your work gets better too as you work towards your career goals and the money rolls in. Love is emotionally fulfilling, too.

CAPRICORN
It's all about living the good life, including indulging in blossoming romance. Prosperity is all around, and money seems very easy to access at the moment. You won’t take advice, preferring to rely on your own personal power. Don’t just use him - have fun, too.

AQUARIUS
Property deals look very favourable during this grand trine of Venus and Jupiter with Mars and Pluto, but don’t forget the legalities. Your family becomes more important, too; is it time to do some entertaining at home? It’s definitely time for some lusty, earthy sex.

Your self-confidence seems to have grown overnight. Your social and business status is important to you, and you want your achievements recognised by your associates. Is it time to stop running from love and romance, especially if he is that rare mixture of passion and compassion?

ARIES
Your determination will help you achieve your career ambitions, so be confident in your own competence. Remember both the big and small picture. You’ll have to balance the demands of home and family with your ambitions. Sexual fantasies rules, and anything goes.

TAURUS
Knowledge might be power, but don’t gossip about anything or anyone today. The more logical and fair minded you are, the more you’ll get everyone on your side. Expand the depth of your knowledge to help you even further up the success ladder. Sexually, too, your horizons widen...

GEMINI
Sexually, there are no limits to your experiments - the wilder and more fun, the better. These are secrets you don’t have to share with anyone but your partner. Your understanding of yourself can only help further your career goals. Love and business work together.

CANCER
The powerful alliances you make now can only help your long-term career goals, and it is all about give and take. It's time to give up partnerships, lovers and friends who don't support your ambitions. Your lover could leave you if you don’t offer the same support that you demand.

LEO
Your daily responsibilities come under the spotlight. If you don’t take care of yourself, including your health and fitness levels, you won’t be able to achieve the status you need. Give up any abusive substances including drugs, excess alcohol and smoking. Love-wise, a slow build-up will drive him wild.

VIRGO

Your creative talents and skills suddenly seem to be in demand, and you seem far more intense and focussed. Don’t forget that the more fun you are, the more you’ll actually achieve. Love-wise, there is growing romance and love - but are you doing all the giving? Balance is required.

LIBRA
It will be easy to repair any differences of opinion within your family, and you become more powerful as everyone listens to you. Your home might be in need of repair or renovation, too - let family members help. You don’t need any sexual limitations - just do whatever you feel and need.

SCORPIO
It’s certainly not in the bedroom that you have difficulties today, unless you are attempting too much control over your man. Try to lighten up. Sexually, you have many new exciting ideas. The biggest arguments you have are over money and shared resources.

SAGITTARIUS
Be honest with yourself, and decide exactly what it is you want. Chances are, you’ll achieve it now. Think about money, and place it in its rightful place. Don't let it rule you, but don't neglect your finances. Not even lavish sex will totally your demands.

CAPRICORN
You probably won’t listen to advice or go along with anyone else’s ideas. You are becoming aware of just how much power you have, and how to use it to your advantage whether at home, in your love relationships or at work. Your energy is intense, focussed and sexual.

AQUARIUS
You don’t want to shout about it, but your power and control over yourself and others is very compelling. Don’t let past fears and worries dominate your life; it is time to help yourself and others to achieve. Being a generous lover will excite him. ]]>

If you have a few domestic disputes, they could come up now so be ready with decisive answers. A little compromise won’t hurt, either. At work your goals are still moving on. It's exciting as new ideas, people and opportunities come your way. Sexually, it’s a day of sweeping away useless emotions.

ARIES
Try not to let money run through your fingers like sand. You and your partner could easily have a disagreement if one of you is overspending. Keep an eye on your possessions as any loss could end in stress or even illness. You are ready to try all a few new sex techniques - is he fit enough?

TAURUS
You don’t have to worry about finances today as you seem to have it all in hand - and, being quite a 'tough cookie' in this field you are often ahead of the pack. You do seem a bit stressed today, though. A little self-indulgence won’t hurt, but don’t ruin your figure.

GEMINI
Those of you in a committed partnership will want to sort out priorities over sharing and living together. Discuss your individual needs and your expectations, and see where compromise can be made. You don’t want domestic troubles. Today you don't want your man to be passive.

CANCER
You’ll accomplish a lot on the love and romance front, as long as you don’t become too aggressive, but remain friendly and generous of spirit. Try to keep your need for love as well as your huge sexual appetite under control. You don’t want to scare him off with too much emotion.

LEO
You have courage now, and it’s time to sort out your work space and to get rid of everything, from old papers to ideas which no longer work for you. Transformation is the key, and you’ll be surprised at how much money you’ll make. Love is your life-force, and sex and ambition are entwined.

VIRGO
Your creative talents can transform your life - and you, personally. Go for a makeover or change your hair and your clothes - be more aware of the impact you make. You expect your man to share your high standards. Turn criticism into discernment, and he’ll soon satisfy your needs.

LIBRA
Your attraction to younger guys suddenly turns into a desire for some quite heavy sex with a tough, edgy man. Or is he the one who has changed from sensitive to demanding? Whatever, whichever - your performance is always expert. When it comes to finances, stay calm.

SCORPIO
Discussions with your business associates could be pretty intense and passionate. If it gets too heavy, find your sense of humour and lighten up a bit. It’ll be easier to get what you want. Love-wise, your magnetism is sensational, but love could soon turn to hate.

SAGITTARIUS
Go on, pretend to be demure and sweetly flirtatious - he knows, of course, just how erotic you really are. You love sex, and if your man isn’t up to it, you'll be quite ready to flirt with the nearest man to make him jealous. Today, anything goes as long as you are the winner.

CAPRICORN
The more you are aware of your personal power, the more you’ll achieve. Career-wise, business associates are the means of moving rapidly up the success ladder. Listen, learn and do things your way. You're often turned on by younger men, but today he has to offer you passion and depth, too.

AQUARIUS

Your dynamism and intensity are noticed by everyone which is very much to your advantage, career-wise - as long as you don’t overdo it. You need your favourite man to help you relax, and you're needing more compassion, passion and depth than usual. ]]>

Try not to be too OTT when telling your man your feelings as it could make him uncomfortable. Often, men show their feelings through actions rather than words. Let your intuition guide you. Don’t take unnecessary risks with your money.

ARIES
Try to talk to your man if there are differences of opinion between you. If you can’t reach agreement or compromise, perhaps it’s time to move on? Don’t overreact, though - keep your cool. Get stuck into hard work or physical exercise to de-stress.

TAURUS
You start the day with getting organized, finishing tasks and sorting out problems. Later, it will be time to relax and realise just how much you are achieving - or decide how best to grow and expand your personal influence. In love, you indulge in total togetherness, satisfying all your lusty instincts.

GEMINI
Career and work are the issues this morning, and there could be added responsibilities as your creative talents start to earn you money. Even your love life becomes more serious, and you seem ready for commitment. Love is overwhelmingly sexual.

CANCER
Talking about your career prospects as you accomplish a multitude of tasks and work will be worthwhile, and set you on the right track. Just be careful when driving or travelling. Visualise your future, and your intuition will guide you. When it comes to sex, the raunchier the better. Is it your reason to live, though? Don’t confuse it with love.

LEO
Don’t let your emotions run out of control if your computer or car break down. Find solutions to all communication problems. If one way doesn’t work, try another, and be sweet and reasonable at all times. There is a battle for sexual dominance in the bedroom which turns out to be satisfyingly orgasmic.

VIRGO
You can see the results of your hard work and good organisational methods, but now is the time to think about your relationships - have you neglected them? Are you impatient with your man if he doesn’t live up to your standards? You are turned on by power, and you need a real lover.

LIBRA
Finances are the issue today, especially joint income and shared assets. When you have the same values, your sexual enjoyment grows too. A natural beauty, men often forget that you have huge intelligence and reasoning too, and that no matter how sexy you are, you need your space.

SCORPIO
Even if you want to be left alone today, chances are you’ll be inundated with people. You need your man to keep you stimulated and interested, and you know your own worth. When you want it, you want it now. If he’s not up for it, move on!

SAGITTARIUS

He doesn’t want to share you today - but do you want to share him? You’d much rather stay hidden away in the bedroom where the two of you can indulge in all kinds of sexual pleasure. The more he spoils you, the better.

CAPRICORN
Business associates and colleagues are helping you get recognition and rewards for your work - at last! You aren’t into one-night stands; you need him to appreciate your intellect, your body and your soul. Venus is bringing love and romance. It's time to indulge in all your sexual fantasies.

AQUARIUS
Your feelings towards money can get quite emotional if you feel you aren’t being paid enough for the work you do. Discuss the issue calmly with those in charge of the finances. Some advanced training might be required. Sex veers between casual and rough. ]]>

10 March 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/10-march-2012 PISCES
You're more creative than organized, and you need to work on your efficiency and practical abilities. In love matters you drift from one affair to another, always looking for that perfect partner to keep you safe and loved. In sex, massaging each other is the way to go.

ARIES
Working with your colleagues in a co-operative and friendly way will bring the best results as you get through everything you set out to do. Love-wise, today is a different story as you need a certain amount of sexual freedom which will probably not suit your man. You have to decide.

TAURUS
It's often hard to know the difference between a man who is happy with light flirtation and one who is after a serious affair, and you can easily be hurt. Just don’t let this situation affect your health - he is the one who loses out, not you! By developing all your talents, you can have everything.

GEMINI
Love, romance and friendship - these are the things that you thrive on. Sex had better be fun, flirtatious and preferably quick... otherwise you can just as easily pleasure yourself. Your man has to be ready to move with you, and to keep you stimulated with new ideas that match your own.

CANCER
Feelings, feelings and feelings... whew! Then again, you love sex, and the more erotic, the better. For you, the saying ‘energy follows thought’ is totally true. You decide on a lover, the top job and, within a very short time, you get exactly what you want. It’s Moon magic!

LEO
Are you playing hard to get today with your new man? Let him know it’s only a game... You need to find out if he is sexually strong enough before you commit to someone whom you later discover just doesn’t have it.

VIRGO
Sensitive and sensual, quickies are not for you. You like a long, slow build-up to ecstasy with a man who has power, intelligence and is willing to commit to you with real love. A bit of name-dropping and social climbing won’t go amiss today either...

LIBRA
Needing to be considered an equal partner doesn’t go down well with the men in your life. The trouble is, you are too attractive for your own good - it hides your intelligence, intellect and ability to do and be anything you choose. Talking about your feelings in a loving way will help today.

SCORPIO
Intuitive and highly emotional, you are able to rise above any setback. Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, you come back stronger and more beautiful than ever. You are either hot as fire or cold as ice, so feel pity for the poor guy who dared be unfaithful. He’ll totally wish he hadn’t.

SAGITTARIUS
Always out to make a huge impression, life is a stage with you as the leading lady... It’s hard for you to live in the now (it never lives up to your expectations) so you are always ready to move on. Today, your work will be noticed, but will you get the credit?

CAPRICORN
Sometimes a bit too serious, life is all about hard work and dedication to everything you do. Love and sex are the same - enduring and conservative, but when you finally blossom you are the most beautiful and alluring of all. Creativity and imagination are your assets today.

AQUARIUS
Today is all about success as you and your man build castles together. Emotionally it could be cool, but things in the bedroom are exciting. If your man is a bit rough, so much the better. A problem with your family or home might mean you have to give up some of your precious free time. ]]>

9 March 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/9-march-2012 PISCES
Your intuition is stronger than usual. You're ultra sensitive, and picking up every emotional undercurrent. Perhaps you should distance yourself a little from people. Look at your career aspirations, and let go of outdated goals. Use sex to escape stress today, though it could cause tension with your man.

ARIES
You think of yourself as the elite, belonging to an exclusive club of one, and today you expect your man to be your slave, providing the wildest sex. Financially, you probably want to move on and change your investments so that you make more money. Go online, investigate and talk to experts. Don’t be impulsive.

TAURUS
Is it time to look at your work, your pay, and consider whether or not you are progressing and growing? Do you need to adjust your expectations? The trick is to be thankful that you can pay your bills. Give without even expecting to be thanked. Sex-wise, lavish him with love.

GEMINI
It’s no good feeling sorry for yourself if you’ve had a disagreement or even a break-up with your love partner. Losing your cool and giving in to impatience won’t help. Try sharing your vision and giving him support. Let your love of life shine through, too.

CANCER
Juggling your need to be helpful, caring, methodical and hardworking with your love of friends and socialising can be quite stressful. Is it time to let unrewarding friendships go and to be open to new and fulfilling relationships? Eroticism rules the bedroom.

LEO
You're daydreaming and fantasising, and not everything is at it seems. You could easily be taken in by false promises, too. The trick is to take a bit of a risk. Concentrate and enjoy making your dreams reality, one at a time. Let your love life be light and fun - flirtation rules.

VIRGO
Today is all about feelings as you share, support and nurture yourself as well as others. If you are over-ambitious or arrogant, now is the time to realise that you don’t know it all, and be ready to learn through new experiences. Love isn’t enough; he has to have potential.

LIBRA
Is 'commitment' the word for you today? Probably not... but if you want to really share your life you do need to consider joint income and shared ventures in order to benefit both of you. If you continually run away from real connections, you’ll remain restless and lonely. Sex is urgent and experimental.

SCORPIO
Loyalty rules, but you need to make sure your friends and associates have the same values. You might have to let the untrustworthy ones go and open the door to let new people into your life. It's vital that you remain true to yourself. Socialize tonight, preferably with your man.

SAGITTARIUS
It’s no good pretending everything is fine - if you need help you have to ask. The trick is to be yourself, love yourself and put yourself first. Sadly, this doesn’t mean your colleagues will be generous or that you’ll immediately earn more, but it’s a start. In sex there are no limitations.

CAPRICORN
You could fear you are losing your independence. You enjoy the good life, your friends and having fun. Don’t let self-indulgence get OTT. Just remember that change is good, especially if it kicks you out of your rut. Love is more emotional than you like.

AQUARIUS
Having everyone’s approval is important, but you won’t get it if you insist on having your own way all the time. A little humility can go a long way. The time is right to start a new project, a new business or advanced training. ]]>

You might be considered one of the more upright, moral (even pure and virginal) young women in the zodiac, but the truth is very different as you are more than ready to fulfil your lover’s every fantasy. Today, however, there is tension between you. Don’t let the stress make you ill.

ARIES
You start the day feeling energetic and enthusiastic about your work, but the opposition of the Sun and Moon could leave you with a headache or a fever if you get too aggressive or do something you might regret later. Love-wise, you don’t understand your feelings, so just enjoy the dirty sex.

TAURUS
Friends, social events and business colleagues are your main concern. You are involved in so much at the moment that you don’t have time to rest. Go after what you want, get rid of what you no longer want and work as part of the group. In love, you need someone reliable and safe at the moment.

GEMINI
Matters to do with your home and family relationships are on the agenda, but first deal with any problems, either at work or connected to your home, that could cause an accident. This could be a broken floor or a fire hazard. Satisfying your tempestuous sexual energy will relieve tension.

CANCER
The Full Moon causes great inner tension for you. It doesn’t mean you won’t accomplish all the little errands and tasks you set out to do, but you will easily overreact, and are ready to argue. Siblings and neighbourhood issues take up your time, too, and your design and writing skills will be in demand.

LEO
The Full Moon encourages you to devote some of your time to your financial and business concerns, so sort out your papers, bills and ensure you make payments on time. Take on an extra job or ask for a raise if you need more money. In love, you need a lusty, lively partner today.

VIRGO
As the Full Moon is in your own sign you’ll have to take steps to avoid inner tension and restlessness by working extra hard and going after what you want. Avoid accidents as well as fevers and headaches. Sensual love making is possible - if you don’t talk too much!

LIBRA
Working alone today means you can accomplish everything that has to be done. You have huge inner strength (you are the strongest woman in the zodiac), so don’t shirk duties which could include visiting someone in hospital or other institution. You need sweet, tender love-making tonight.

SCORPIO
You want to be involved in the lives of your friends and business associates, but the stress caused by the Full Moon makes you aggressive and lose patience when things don’t go your way today. Don’t argue, just cool it. In love, you're excessive in every way today.

SAGITTARIUS
Promoting yourself and others today will get you everywhere as long as you don’t become too aggressive, tense or moody. Make your work space beautiful and pleasant to be in, but don’t overdo it (one pot plant, not a jungle...). In love, you need to compromise or move on.

CAPRICORN
There is so much going on in your life that it’s hard for you to know where to start. Try not to let your energy be too scattered or your life will swerve out of balance. Decide where you want to go, what you want to study and stick to it. A hot lover will help sort out any stress.

AQUARIUS
Your focus on finances and shared resources could become too intense. You want a loan? Get your facts and figures sorted before you ask. Collect money owed, and pay your bills so that you can relax. Sex-wise, do you need to give more compassion and understanding? ]]>

7 March 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/7-march-2012 PISCES
The Moon is in your love house for a couple of days, and emotions rule as you try to do and be everything he wants you to be. Stiffen your backbone and be your own person. If it isn’t good enough for him, let him go. There is the possibility of promotion at work - go for it!

ARIES
You have difficulty understanding yourself today, much less him. Try not to be too critical - it’s hard to find someone who is both sexy and emotionally sensitive. Your finances improve as you make the most of all the career opportunities that come your way. Meanwhile, your bank balance is no-one else’s business.

TAURUS
Today your common sense and charm balanced with self-confidence and persistence will help you achieve any (if not all) of your goals, whether at work or in your love life. You feel a bit uncertain of the future at work. This is a world trend, so hang in there. In love, flattery gets you everywhere.

GEMINI
You feel misunderstood both at home and at work as you try to balance your commitments, but find yourself easily losing interest. You’ll have to work extra hard to keep your enthusiasm charged, but so will your man or you’ll just move on without a backward glance. Does masturbation rule?

CANCER
Your nerves are a bit jangled today, especially if you haven’t been doing any exercise. It's probably time to go to the gym. Swimming is extremely beneficial for you, Ms Cancer. A water massage will help, too. Have confidence in your uninhibited sexual relationship. He finds it magical.

LEO
You might sound aggressive, but today you are more timid than usual which could make you jealous and even suspicious of your man. Only his lust will satisfy. Career-wise, the mixture of confidence and persistence with added financial luck makes for success.

VIRGO
Perfectionism rules, and you drive yourself mad over the slightest mistake or error, blaming yourself whether or not it is your fault. Allow yourself the confidence to have some fun - you are a powerful woman. A rough and tough sexual tumble will help you to relax.

LIBRA
Emotional warmth today is not your priority as you just want the feeling of security and to share resources with a self-sufficient partner. This doesn’t mean that sexual enjoyment is missing, it's just a bit cool. This is helped when joint ventures become financially successful.

SCORPIO
You can expect great success through deep-level interaction with colleagues, your partner and friends as you gain new knowledge. Your confidence grows as you take more and more control of your life, others take notice. You might have to drop your standards if you want really passionate sex.

SAGITTARIUS
Your persistence is paying off finance-wise, and you can see the rewards of your hard work as your career prospects rise. Just make sure your self-confidence doesn’t spill over into arrogance. Mix realism with romance as a stepping stone to success.

CAPRICORN
Today is all about duty rather than flashy flamboyance, whilst still allowing your imaginative ideas to bring you success. Looking at the wider picture for inspiration, your self-confidence makes everyone listen to your ideas. Raunchy sex rather than frothy flirtations satisfy.

AQUARIUS
When you help him achieve all his sexual fantasies (and your own) he’ll be happy to give you total support in return, whether you are right of wrong. Work-wise, you are gaining total control over your life through your continual search for knowledge - plus, of course, sound financial management. ]]>

6 March 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/6-march-2012 PISCES
You might feel as if you're hitting your head against a brick wall, but it will be far better to compete rather than becoming dejected and moody. Let your sense of humour see the funny side of the situation. You need affection, love and sympathy, but won’t get it if you are filled with self-pity.

ARIES
Patience is needed at work, and you're in the mood for creative adventure and to take a few risks, but something or someone is holding you back today. Talk rather than becoming frustrated and angry; then you’ll see results. In sex, exhibitionism rules, and there is no-one better than you.

TAURUS
Your sensitive, creative work makes your friends and business associates very appreciative. The more you listen to your subconscious and your dreams, the easier it’ll be to overcome frustrations at work. Sex with a well-heeled hunk is a huge turn-on.

GEMINI
Laughter is your saving grace today, especially if you are under emotional pressure at work. Talk to your associates. Understanding will follow, and you’ll no longer feel as if you aren’t getting anywhere. Sex-wise, you are in your prime - is he?

CANCER
At work, your ideas may be out of sync with everyone else's, especially with regard to computers and the latest software. Do you need to upgrade? Listen, learn and communicate your concerns. Emotionally, you are warmer than usual, and love is satisfyingly carnal.

LEO
Your finances, especially shared assets with your partner, seem static - or you aren’t managing to keep abreast of your debts. Travel plans are definitely out of reach, but be patient and leave your credit card at home when shopping. Your ego is so huge today, how can your man satisfy your whims?

VIRGO
If you do things too quickly today you could easily have an accident. Also, watch out for stings, bites as well as headaches. The payment of debts and collection of money owed to you is important. Be as accurate and determined as possible. Show your man what you really are made of.

LIBRA
You know exactly what you want, and you have the opinions to match. This is great at work, and you can see your ambitions being fulfilled so you imagine even more. Love-wise, if you are too interested in pursuing your own dreams, you can’t expect real commitment from him.

SCORPIO
Self-pity won’t work for you now - no matter what the frustrations, you must face your worries and get on with things. In your love life, you want romance but cool it a bit if he is scared of excessive emotion. Insatiable hunger for each other will have to do instead.

SAGITTARIUS
Expect a confrontation between you and your colleagues over an issue at work. You want to achieve your goals, but they may not be in sync with everyone else’s, especially if your ideas are a bit too unorthodox. Compromise and patience are needed, and vigorous sex will help calm your nerves.

CAPRICORN
Your workload and sense of responsibility could be hindering your need to travel abroad or study further. Listen to others, but make your own decisions based on what is good for you in the long-term. Being too elitist could stop you meeting the right upwardly mobile man.

AQUARIUS
Your latest experimental ideas could bring you dramatic success - or failure. Meetings, discussions and sharing information will make success easier, as long as you don’t get angry. Avoid accidents on the road. Arouse his sexual passion with the use of toys, if necessary. ]]>

5 March 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/5-march-2012 PISCES
Venus moves into Taurus and encourages you to be more charming, while your sense of humour is on top form. You’ll have more opportunity to participate in local affairs, helping to beautify the neighbourhood. He makes you feel like a Goddess, but is he your perfect mate?

ARIES
You manage perfectly well on your own but the wealth, social status and joint ventures offered by your special partner seem very alluring, especially if it means you can purchase a few luxury items. Who knows, you might even remain faithful if he provides the primal sex you need...

TAURUS
Your charm, sense of humour and willingness to co-operate make a huge difference, and Venus in your own sign boosts your luck, too. This is the perfect time to have a makeover and update your look. He has to be silky-smooth and successful to keep your attraction. You won’t accept anything less.

GEMINI
Moody, changeable Ms Gemini, Venus moving into Taurus could easily find you more interested in your fantasies and dreams than you are in reality. Here, at least, you won’t have to endure anyone course and vulgar. Warning: don’t listen to false flattery.

CANCER
Venus moving into Taurus sees you focussing on your participation in friendships and associations, and how they assist your own happiness and aspirations. A friendship could easily develop into a long-term relationship. Are you ready to give up your wild, sexual exploits? Be honest.

LEO
You are more in the spotlight than ever, and everyone notices you so make sure you look your best, and be charming and interested in everyone you encounter. Being cooperative will make you benefit, too. You don’t want a quickie - only long, hard, sensual and committed love will satisfy.

VIRGO
Socialising with people from different countries and cultures helps you broaden your outlook. Travel is well-starred, and there is potential for more socializing as well as a new romance or marriage. Fantasies aren’t important, but you do want it long, hard and sexy.

LIBRA
As Venus moves into Taurus, you balance sexual passion with your need to share common goals with your man. You want instant gratification, but have too many other things getting in the way. You want to be considered perfect. Will a strategically placed mirror help?

SCORPIO

You need him to be yours completely now that Venus has moved into Taurus, whether the relationship is marriage or a business partnership. Either way, get the legal matters sorted out as it could be a long-term relationship. His staying power has to match yours.

SAGITTARIUS

Your daily responsibilities are the focus of Venus in Taurus, and harmony rules. Beautifying your work space will help keep you fit and healthy. Don’t forget your own beauty treatments, a new hairstyle and your diet and exercise regime. You fantasize about yourself rather than him.

CAPRICORN
Secretly, your fantasy is a rough, tough labourer, but in marriage he has to be intelligent, spiritual, successful and quite conservative so that you can run the house, the children (and him) from behind the scenes. Indulge in romance and social events as Venus moves into Taurus.

AQUARIUS
It’s hard being an Aquarian woman - you need a man with a hot body who is ruggedly sexy, but brainy and successful too. Sadly there aren’t too many of these particular animals around... Venus moving into Taurus suggests your home and family are the driving force for entertainment at the moment. ]]>

4 March 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/4-march-2012 PISCES
Frustration is controlling your love life, so get out the tissues. Nothing seems settled. Try not to overreact, and think before you speak. Your finances look a bit shaky - who is overspending? Keep a sharp eye on your bank account. Co-operating with those who matter works wonders.

ARIES
Personal freedom matters, so express your own, individual ideas - no matter how controversial or unusual. Insecurity in your love life suggests you’d love to be more independent, but this isn’t the time. Express your love as only you know how. You’ll survive, no matter what.

TAURUS
Be careful of over-indulgence today, and don’t take unnecessary risks in your love life. Romance should be fun and not too heavy. If you try to control him, he might just walk away. Don’t forget to have your routine health check, and sharpen up your diet and exercise plan.

GEMINI
Unexpected developments are both stimulating and challenging as your plans change. Everything seems a bit unpredictable, and you may be temporarily separated from your usual network of friends and family. Keep in touch. In love, moodiness rules. He’d better make it quick.

CANCER
Your life is bit predictable as you try to juggle your work life with your home and family. No-one seems to understand, so clear your mind and explain. Avoid getting angry, though, or it could escalate into serious stress. When it comes to love, you entertain him in the bedroom.

LEO
Broadening your mind is the issue, through travel, study or meeting up with new, interesting people from a different country and culture. Exchange thoughts and try out new ideas. Warning: avoid unnecessary risks. You want him all to yourself today.

VIRGO
Your probably don’t want to go out socialising today, and staying home with your man is just the turn-on you need. Your partner might have an unexpected money-making idea for you both, but don’t forget the legal contract. You don’t have to accept all his ideas.

LIBRA
The emphasis is on other people, but it is vital that your interests are taken into account too. Not everyone keeps their word, so ensure that you have a legal contract where finance is concerned. Love-wise, you need scented baths, candlelight and your favourite man because romance rules.

SCORPIO
Your work goes through some changes, and your organisational methods and planning for the future will be important. Expect other changes, too - the more flexible you are, the easier it will be to keep ahead of the game. A little mothering by your strong, virile man will ease the changes.

SAGITTARIUS
Your imagination and creative talents have no boundaries at the moment so develop them, and let colleagues and everyone know your ideas while keeping a sharp eye on the details. A few days away with your romantic partner could be the time to fulfil some of your more outrageous fantasies.

CAPRICORN
Is it time to cut some family ties and become more independent? Discuss everything with your family rather than having an argument. Keep your keys and any lease agreements or deeds safe. You need a soul mate who understands your carnal needs.

AQUARIUS
Don’t take on every new idea, suggestion or method offered, and independence of thought is vital. You just might need a new computer or electronic device, but investigate first. Your siblings and neighbours could be moving on. Be happy for them. Let your lover transform your life. ]]>

3 March 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/3-march-2012 PISCES
Let your confidence spill over. You know you can survive anything as long as you are motivated. The difficulty comes in controlling and directing it to the right places. Today passion rules, but if you are too competitive or argumentative, tensions will rise. In love, it’s hard, falling off that pedestal!

ARIES
With the Sun opposing your personal planet, Mars, it's vital that you slow down and try not to be too impulsive (very hard for Aries), otherwise you could end up either having an accident or an argument. Singles, great sex with a rugged, sexy boy will soon make you forget past love affairs.

TAURUS
It's time to make new friends, socialise and enjoy new and exciting entertainment. Don’t be afraid to change your plans at the last minute if necessary - the more flexible you are, the more fun you’ll have. Try not to over-indulge. Drinking and driving is a no-no.

GEMINI
You have difficulty concentrating today as there is just so much to be done; slow down a bit. At home, be careful of accidents in the kitchen or with sharp implements. Arguments with your family could flare up at any time. Let them have their say too... Don’t plan your love life - be spontaneous.

CANCER
Be careful of overreacting to your man as this could end in an argument or fight, with you on the losing end. The same goes for your love-life. You enjoy a dangerous fantasy sex life, but don’t make it too real over these next couple of days.

LEO
Your ruler, the Sun, is in hard aspect to Mars which means that taking unwise action with your finances and investments could have you losing everything. Be clever, think carefully and listen to what the experts have to say. Success can mean doing nothing. In love, stick to play-fighting.

VIRGO
You ooze self-confidence today, and are ready to take risks in everything you do. Normally you need to work with your man for real success, but today you want to take action and do everything yourself. You refuse to listen to his advice. What exotic sexual ideas can you dream up to boost his ego?

LIBRA
You want to succeed, and with your confidence you will, but being too intense and competitive will not be good for your health. Your sex life will suffer too. In sex, you need a sensitive man who knows exactly what you like.

SCORPIO
Go out and have some fun with your friends. An adventure and taking a few risks will take your mind off any worries. The setbacks come if you lose patience when things don't go your way immediately. Try to avoid confrontation, unless you can use it to spice up your sex life.

SAGITTARIUS
Arguments or a disagreement with your father or the man in your life are very likely today. Try not to overreact. Most things can be solved with a little understanding, but don’t waste your precious time on the impossible. You need a man with staying power to satisfy you today.

CAPRICORN
It’s the weekend, so don’t worry about things you can do nothing about - except, of course, if it involves your love and sex life. This seems to be enviably intense and passionate, as well as far more emotional than usual, but full of romance and love. Only he can give you that sense of fun.

AQUARIUS
It might be necessary to discuss money matters with your partner, but not if you are tense. What can you do to make the weekend lighter and happier? Socialise with friends, neighbours and siblings, and listen to your favourite music to soothe your soul. Rough play will boost your libido. ]]>

2 March 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/2-march-2012 PISCES
You’ll be extra busy for the next couple of weeks with all your paperwork, especially regarding financial matters. You have so many new money-making ideas, you don’t know where to start - be realistic! Talk to experts about financial investments. In love, let him feel like he is king.

ARIES
You, you and more you - Mercury moving into your own sign makes you think of no-one else. Luckily, everyone seems very impressed by what you have to say. Try not to rush around too much; you’ll only get irritable and overtired. Love is a sex romp for two.

TAURUS
Mercury moving into Aries suggests you keep quiet about your personal stuff, so make sure your computer data is safe and that your cell phone is not accessed by anyone. Listen to your intuition - it’s quite sharp. A joint venture with your man would be successful.

GEMINI
Your personal planet moves into Aries today, and this will a great time to communicate on a deep level with friends, business associates and colleagues. Important business discussions will be successful, but don’t tell everyone about your benefit or gains. Love has to be fun or you'll move on.

CANCER
You could receive some really good news about your career prospects, and a promotion or some other success is waiting. Take the opportunity to tell everyone your ideas, and share your knowledge. Everyone will listen.

LEO
As Mercury moves into Aries your life becomes more exciting. You need to reach beyond your usual boundaries and make contact with people from different races and cultures. Travel abroad or take advanced training - whatever you do, move on. Sex couldn’t be better.

VIRGO
Your personal planet, Mercury, moves into Aries, making you think more deeply about things and spend time researching everything you can think of on the net. You ask financial experts for advice, and a loan could be approved, money owed repaid. Try to remain faithful.

LIBRA
The next couple of weeks are all about partnerships, including love and business, as the Gods are smiling on negotiations, contracts and joint ventures. This is a good time to talk to your love partner in an easygoing, relaxed way. Sex is invigorating, but stress-free.

SCORPIO
The next few weeks are all about responsibilities, your organizational skills and how much you can fit into your busy schedule. Your health is of concern, and it's time to join a health club and get your diet on track. Try not to let your sex life overwhelm; just enjoy the lust.

SAGITTARIUS
Romance thrives over these next few weeks as your charm makes everyone fall for you, and flirting is second nature. Business easily mixes with your social life too. Sex has to be spontaneous and spiced up by your usual exhibitionism.

CAPRICORN
If you are negotiating property deals, then luck is with you. Everything seems to fall into place. Shared family projects work out, too, and ideas and discussions go well. It’s time to get in contact with family members who live far away. In love, who is seducing who?

AQUARIUS

Business meetings and short trips will be the focus for the next few weeks as everyone is interested in your ideas, and ready to share their knowledge. You receive some news about one of your siblings or a close neighbour, but is it what you want to hear? Make him beg for sex. ]]>

1 March 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/1-march-2012 PISCES
This could be a bit of an emotional day. Try not to overreact, especially with your man. You want to talk, but somehow your reactions are a bit OTT, even when you just try to explain your feelings. It's better to wait as tomorrow you’ll have far more control. You make sex fun.

ARIES
Liberation seems to be the name of the game, but is it really? Be honest. Rather than getting into an argument or disagreement, you might prefer to spend the evening alone. Give yourself a mini makeover in a relaxing bath full of your favourite smellies with music and candlelight. You're ready to face any struggle.

TAURUS
Don’t listen to false flattery, compliments or sob stories as this usually means he wants to get you into bed, no matter what. As you're feeling slightly vulnerable, you could be easy to persuade. Be friendly and cooperate, but evaluate the situation carefully. A better bet would be to socialise in the company of friends.

GEMINI
At work there could be meetings and discussion groups to organise, but don’t expect to get everyone’s cooperation. Stick to your schedule, and try not to let stress interfere. Diplomacy and tact will help. Your love life started with promise, but could easily become just friendship.

CANCER
Your work is putting you in the spotlight, even if you’d prefer to stay quietly at home, nursing your feelings of being too fat and having a bad hair day. Make the effort - you’ll most likely enjoy it when you’re there. Love-wise, thinking up new tricks and ways to excite is fun.

LEO
Excited about a journey? Don’t be over-friendly with fellow passengers straight off; rather, size up the situation first. Also, think about how you dress, and don't choose anything too revealing. Today is all about good taste and not going too far. Lovemaking is great, though, and you need your man to indulge all your needs.

VIRGO
An issue at work could cause a stressful interaction, especially with a female colleague. Stay calm, and figure it out before blowing your top. Don’t just look busy, get on with your work as quickly and efficiently as you can. You can relax when you reach your goal. Sex is exciting; even unexpectedly dirty.

LIBRA
Feelings for someone at work could cause more problems than it’s worth as an inappropriate relationship could leave you in the loser’s seat. You would just love to get away and go on a trip overseas, or study something new and different, but honour demands that you don’t let anyone down.

SCORPIO
Just because your creative projects aren’t accepted or appreciated by everyone doesn’t mean you have to overreact or become aggressive. Losing patience too quickly means you’ll only have to apologise in the end. Think before you speak. An evening with your man will take the pressure off, in more ways than one.

SAGITTARIUS
Your family might not understand your latest colour scheme, or want to get involved with your renovations. That’s their choice. Just do your own thing, and avoid confrontation as best you can. An argument with your man could get nasty, but touchy-feely sex will calm him down.

CAPRICORN
Being in control in the bedroom is one thing, but bending his ear about every thought that enters your head is just plain boring. Make your home life interesting and fun, and share all the latest news and gossip so that you get him to laugh. You have a devilish sense of humour; use it today.

AQUARIUS
There is the question of shared values and the bank account, especially your money. Who spends what? Discuss things rather than bottling up your feelings. The energy is so intense you could cut it with a knife. Please him with rough sex, and it will break the tension. ]]>

29 February 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/29-february-2012 PISCES
It's a Leap Year! What can we say about you, Neptune, who is ruled most complex of all signs? You are warm, loving and the best friend imaginable, but you also have a cold and, frankly, bitchy side. You're ultra feminine, and you need a man who is sensitive, virile as well as able to take care of you. Sex, today, has to be spontaneous and experimental.

ARIES
Womanly rather than feminine, you can’t be bothered with a man who isn’t a rough, tough, macho and willing to satisfy your very basic sexual needs. Shyness isn’t your strong point; you just go for what you want. He must be kind, though, and look after you when you need TLC. The Moon moving into Gemini means that life’s a party. It’s leap year, which means it's up to you to ask...

TAURUS
You are the sensual, natural beauty of the zodiac, but that doesn’t mean you don’t love luxury, beautiful clothes and expensive, designer handbags. You want a committed relationship, and marriage was made for you. If this relationship also means running a business together, so much the better. If you agree on most things, why not drop a (more than subtle) hint this Leap Year?

GEMINI

Provocative, flighty and highly nervous, you seem to be perpetually on the move, and not quite ready to settle down in any one place for more than a few minutes. If you act and think later, you fall in love quickly, but it could turn to hate just as fast. Every relationship is entered into as if it's the first time, and it certainly fools him. You might hint at commitment, but do you really want to be tied down, Ms Butterfly?

CANCER
You might have the sign of the Moon Goddess, but few realise that you are the sexual spell-wielding witch, and the most experimental, sexually erotic woman in the zodiac. You are also soft, maternal, and very loving. When you find the right man, you are willing to give up your entourage of eager males for total commitment to him. If you ask him the big question, he'll probably fall at your feet.

LEO
Dignified and classy, you ooze sex appeal in a subtle, yet passionate way. You have to be noticed and admired by everyone, from the street cleaner to the President. You know exactly what kind of man you want, and when you spot a potential mate, you go for it, discarding other lovers. Your target doesn’t stand a chance when you've set your sights... You don’t need a Leap Year - he’ll propose to you anyway.

VIRGO
You long to be considered a sex Goddess, and you are, once the man of your dreams sees through your feminine, Virginal outer shell to the sexy, earthy woman inside. You are a true woman, mother, lover, healer and friend, and when you find a powerful, successful man who can really bring out your eroticism, you know how to keep him.

LIBRA
Always searching for balance and perfection in everything you do, think and want, you take a long time to decide on a permanent partner. As an air sign, even when ruled by the love Goddess, Venus, you need a man who is on your intellectual level. Sexually talented, intuitive and charming, you are an exciting lover, ready to share your life with someone on your wavelength. If he isn’t, move on.

SCORPIO
Hypnotic, intense and magnetic, but cold as ice on the surface, you inwardly boil like molten lava. The sign of Scorpio rules the sexual act and the sex organs. You transform everyone and everything that comes into your circle, especially your man as you know you are the best lover he’ll ever have. The Gemini Moon today makes you nervous. Is he really the one?

SAGITTARIUS
As the natural born flirt of the zodiac, you know exactly how to flatter any man into submission. Hiding your penchant for tantrums behind a facade of charm, he thinks you are sweet and innocent. Stamina rather than exotic kinkiness is your strong point, though you do consider yourself the sex queen. If he worships you enough, go for it.

CAPRICORN
Once you meet the man of your choice (a loyal intellectual) you easily become the kind of girl he absolutely has to have. You are the most capable of all the signs, easily running a home, your own business, helping your partner and supporting him. Fantasy rules your love life, so everyone is satisfied, but is he really your dream man?

AQUARIUS
As a true Aquarian you are totally secure in who you are, and you know your own mind in all things. Love-wise, you are forgiving and understanding, and often disappointed in your chosen man who you thought was both sexy and brainy. Sex for you is all about pleasure, and you can be quite detached and emotionless about it. Does he really please you? If he does, go ahead and ask. ]]>

You are bursting with energy and enthusiasm, but what are you going to do with it? Teaching, meetings and neighbourhood matters are of interest. If too many people intrude, you’ll be left very frustrated. Joint ventures and partnerships work well. Sexual pampering is needed.

ARIES
Anything to do with health and fitness works for you today, so play competitive sport, go to the gym and enjoy vigorous sex. At work, you can feel the flow of energy between you and your co-workers. Just don’t be too impulsive or aggressive.

TAURUS
Today is all about the pursuit of pleasure, whether at work where your creative juices can really flow, or when out socializing and having fun. Your love life will have to be really physical for you to entirely happy. Appreciating him just for being him will help.

GEMINI
Getting your family involved in group activities such as redecorating, renovating or just looking at new properties will help the family dynamics. Mars suggests a new business venture could take off quickly with great results. Love works when there is real friendship.

CANCER
Your siblings and neighbours seem to have a lot to say, and could swamp you with ideas and information. As long as these are in sync with your own ideas, all is well. You are a doer as well as a thinker, and it is time for action. Love should be equally energetic to really satisfy.

LEO
It will be to your benefit to devote your time to your financial and business interests. The more organized you are, the easier to ensure your payments are up-to-date and that you receive money you are owed. Flirting and being seduced ensures sexual passion.

VIRGO

Today is all about your needs, and you have to be the mistress of your own destiny. To do so, you must take responsibility for everything you do. You have courage and stamina, but you don’t have to take unnecessary risks. Love is equally passionate.

LIBRA
You find strength today when you hand over some of your power to others, helping them to achieve their goals. Your life has no limits. Don’t get bored, but do whatever you need to keep your interest flowing with excitement, especially in your love life.

SCORPIO
Your enthusiasm inspires everyone around you, especially friends, and you will find you achieve something you could never do on your own. Helping a charity or improving society in some way satisfies. Love-wise, erotica calls.

SAGITTARIUS
Try not to be too aggressive at work or in achieving your goals as you could call negative attention to yourself. Use your energy in an honourable way where everyone benefits while you get the rewards. Being an exhibitionist in love situations excites today.

CAPRICORN
You probably just want to get up and go, and jump on a plane at the spur of the moment. A foreigner could easily come into your life, possibly through your work. The trick is to use your energy today on widening your horizons and learning new skills. Seduction calls.

AQUARIUS
Joint enterprises and partnerships make you feel alive. Use your enthusiastic energy to get to grips with your finances, collecting money owed and paying debts. Your sexual passion is not just to relieve your desires today, but is a way of showing your power. ]]>

27 February 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/27-february-2012 PISCES
Your magnetism today hides your steely determination to do whatever will make you happy, and everyone helps you achieve this end. But you do have to co-operate and participate in group discussions and projects. You need your man to share your aspirations in order for love will flourish.

ARIES
Take your courage and power in both hands. You can achieve everything you set out to do at work, and make a lot of money, too. Luck is with you when you take the lead. The choices you make today won’t be trivial, so use your instinctive wisdom. In love, you might be a little outspoken.

TAURUS
Stubbornness is your main drawback to success today, so try to be flexible with colleagues and business associates. Make the effort to learn, have new experiences and widen your horizons. Share your knowledge and ideas in a deep way rather than skimming the surface. Love is very creative.

GEMINI
You are strong, feminine and very sexy today, a great combination as long as he appreciates all the different sides of your personality. Career-wise, you might feel you have to give up one thing in order to gain another. Don’t make decisions too quickly.

CANCER
Cooperation with your partner and other important relationships is your way of gaining more personal power; just don’t be too manipulative or it could backfire. Nurturing your relationships is the way forward. Being able to trust your partner brings greater love and laughter.

LEO
You need to take your responsibilities towards others and yourself very seriously as you develop more control at work. Being neglectful of your health isn’t worth it, so make sure you eat healthily and take regular exercise. Vigorous sex can help, too.

VIRGO
The emphasis should be on your creative talents if you want to enhance your romantic and love life rather than being too intense, controlling or manipulative. Remember to enjoy your life whether alone or with a partner, and to satisfy your own needs first.

LIBRA
You need a living and work space that reflects your personality, even if it means a move or a change of décor. It's time to take control, and you have the confidence so it could be worth taking the risk. You might be surprised at the power it gives you. Love is highly sensual; just as you like it.

SCORPIO
Noone can hide anything from you today, but don’t delve too far into the lives of your colleagues and friends or it could destroy the relationship. You are probably quite intense today. Your interest in your local community affairs take up more of your interest and time. Love is an addiction.

SAGITTARIUS
Your family is bound up in your need for money and status. Try not to let cold materialism take over. Money isn’t good or bad, it's neutral and there to give you and others a better life. Use it wisely. Your impulsive lovemaking is wonderfully erotic.

CAPRICORN
You usually ignore what you can’t control. Be aware of just how powerful you are, and you’ll be able to accomplish everything you set out to do today. Your intensity and physical energy can be a bit off-putting to others, though. True love might be a bit boring.

AQUARIUS
Gaining your inner power, rather than having control over others, is important if you want financial success. Your intuition is getting stronger all the time, and is a vital tool for your own progress. Help others without expectation of reward. Rough, tough love excites. ]]>

26 February 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/26-february-2012 PISCES
Your artistic awareness increases, your intuition becomes stronger and you find it easy to let go of any feelings of self-pity. You probably have itchy feet as short trips or overseas holidays call. The world is yours; follow your passion. Love is a rich, wonderful affair.

ARIES
If you are working too hard, is it time to take a break? If the frustration comes from a failing love affair, make sure you aren’t being too forceful or selfish. When it’s good, you can’t get enough of each other - but, what’s happening now?

TAURUS
If work-related problems are causing stress, even over the weekend, it's time to do something about it. Are you fulfilling your creative potential? Are you allowing yourself to relax and have some fun (other than retail therapy)? You are a highly sexual being; enjoy it!

GEMINI
You might pretend to be innocent, but he will soon know the truth and that it’s all part of the seduction act. Why not? It's time to have fun. Your home and family activities are the focus this weekend, but try not to overreact if things aren’t quite as you'd planned.

CANCER
In matters to do with your long-term plans, you certainly don’t want your family members to interfere or tell you what to do. Keep your cool. You do need to earn and save enough to maintain your independence. Love is more dangerous than even you believed.

LEO
A new way of earning money, probably through a partnership or joint venture, is opening up to you. This will be quite a significant change, but Jupiter is urging you to express your opinions and ideas to those who can help you move forward. You need a strong, long-lasting relationship.

VIRGO
Mars says take charge of your life, but warns against becoming angry when things don’t go your way. A lot of your focus at the moment is on your love life and partnerships. Many of you want more commitment and are ready to marry, despite differences. Go for it!

LIBRA
A business partnership or joint venture goes well. There is a lot of hard work and a regular routine, but the financial rewards are worth it. Great sexual enjoyment is assured at the moment as long as you can avoid power struggles.

SCORPIO
Love and romance bring their own rewards, and you are more affectionate and warm than usual. With a little common sense and hard work, this could turn into a winning combination, either marriage or a long-term commitment. Meanwhile, socialise or have an adventure with friends today.

SAGITTARIUS
The emphasis for most Sagittarians is on your home space - beautifying it, painting, decorating and using your creative talents. There is a lot of work to get through. Let your family help, even if it means listening to their advice. Spontaneity wins.

CAPRICORN
You could feel as if you aren’t reaching your career goals - why not? You have the communication skills, creative talents and the fighting spirit at the moment, so use them. Tell everyone your ideas, and let them know what you want and how you feel.

AQUARIUS
If you need a bank loan, now is the time to ask - especially if your home or property is involved. Your partner’s income or joint assets should be discussed. Be resourceful and go for everything you want. Sex is a playful pleasure. ]]>

25 February 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/25-february-2012 PISCES
It's time to take a few risks, get out of your comfort zone and try something new, different and exciting. Exchange ideas with as many people as possible, and widen your circle of contacts. Learn a new computer programme, and remember that mutual nurturing is important.

ARIES
An unexpected bonus or financial windfall could happen, or someone could give you good advice on how to invest. Try not to exaggerate your wealth or status just to impress, and leave your credit card behind when shopping. In love, try not to be too self-centred.

TAURUS
What are your goals? Now is the time to make the most of whatever opportunities come your way so that you really do let restricting influences go, and move on. You might just over-indulge at the moment, and it won’t help your figure. Vigorous sex will help.

GEMINI
Your career is going from strength to strength today, though you might not see the tangible rewards. They’ll come soon enough, though, so don’t get disillusioned or lose your optimism. Help will come just when you need it. Love is more about infatuation.

CANCER
Friends, even more than your favourite man, are the means to your good fortune - especially if you use their influence to broaden your horizons and your mind. There is probably some sexual tension. Turn it into a healing experience.

LEO
The Sun in good aspect to Jupiter makes this the day to show off your skills, and tell everyone your ideas and thoughts (perhaps not your most private ones). Everything and everyone seems to support your ideas and plans. Love is warm and romantic, too.

VIRGO
This is a lucky day as the Sun and Jupiter bring success in most things, including the lottery. Do you have your ticket? Just remember that Jupiter also encourages you to waste money, so don’t take unnecessary risks which you’ll have to pay off tomorrow. In love, passion rules.

LIBRA
Joint ventures and partnerships (either business or marriage) work in your favour and to your benefit. If you need a bank loan, ask today but remember that you’ll still need all the facts, figures and paperwork to back up your request. Love has to be on a deep rather than a superficial level.

SCORPIO
Being in touch with friends, business colleagues, your close friends and your lover is the most important thing for you today as it is through increased interaction with everyone that you’ll be stimulated into achieving great things. Glamour, wealth, amazing sex..... you can have it all...

SAGITTARIUS
Job seekers, you could find the right employment opportunity today. Starting a new job or project looks good, too, and you could be offered further training if necessary. Get to grips with decorating or renovating your home, and enlist the help of your family. Love is cosy.

CAPRICORN
Over-indulgence is the biggest threat today, and you’ll have to be really strong-willed. Be creative with your drinking and eating, and think up ways of enjoying yourself without the threat of a hangover. In love, you don’t have to let him take the lead.

AQUARIUS
It is time to move on from any comfortable rut you are in. You need a new venture or career to make you feel stimulated and inspired again. If you have to move, do so - all property negotiations are in your favour at the moment. Think up ways to make your sex life more fun. ]]>

24 February 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/24-february-2012 PISCES
When it comes to making and earning money, you need to take action and enjoy the challenges that are thrown at you. It is time to let go and move forward, making the most of the opportunities offered. In love, expect a bit of tension if you try to smother him.

ARIES
Tension at work could leave you feeling stressed and with a bad headache, especially if you try to get everything at work finished in record time. Slow down, and don’t overreact - especially to the slightest form of criticism. Retaliating with sarcasm won’t help. In love, urgency rules.

TAURUS
Be careful to get your facts and figures accurate as you rush ahead with entertainment projects and social events involving your friends and colleagues. Business association meetings go well, but only if you have the answers. You need a big, strong man in your life.

GEMINI
Overreacting won’t help at all at work. Everyone will know about your bad mood if you get upset about their criticism. Just accept the way things are, and explain your viewpoint quietly and carefully. Love-wise, there are no inhibitions.

CANCER
Try not to get too stressed, even if you hear bad news. In order to do things quickly it will be best to slow down and be as methodical as you can be. Impulsive reactions will work against you. Let your man heal you. A little excitement will help take your mind off your problems.

LEO
Increasing your education will help you incorporate new ideas and give you the self - confidence to achieve everything you want. You are ready to take a few risks and to have an adventure, and you are quite a fighter. Sex will have to be energetic and invigorating.

VIRGO
When you put on a brave face and convince everyone just how capable and confident you are, it’ll rub off on you. Just don’t let criticism and sarcasm spoil your relationships - you could be very happily surprised by what sexual passion can offer.

LIBRA
Don’t be surprised if your computer goes on the blink or your phone dies... It's just one of those days. However, if you don’t pay attention to the small print in both work and health matters you could end up problems. A power struggle with your man could leave you upset, too.

SCORPIO
You just love stimulating conversation with your friends, and discussing things that are deep and interesting. Just don’t become aggressive or impatient with those who aren’t on your wavelength or don’t have quite your depth. Take refuge in lustful sex.

SAGITTARIUS
It's no good waiting for others to promote you, your work and your interests - you have to take charge and be proactive in promoting yourself. You could easily have a disagreement with someone in authority (probably a man). Charm wins. Sexually, things are fun, but keep your sense of humour.

CAPRICORN
You are probably running yourself ragged trying to do far too much and scattering your energies in too many different directions. Try to limit yourself today to just a couple of things - if necessary, get help from your family and partner. In love, there is no hesitation today.

AQUARIUS
This is probably not the ideal day to ask for a loan or a raise. Wait a few days instead. Be careful in all matters to do with partnerships and joint ventures, especially joint finances. Keep a careful eye on your bank cards. Love brings unexpected fun. ]]>

23 February 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/23-february-2012 PISCES
Being impulsive could get you into trouble today, and an argument with your favourite man is very possible. Try not to criticize him too much, even if you think it’s necessary. Hiding away by yourself isn’t the answer either, so try being ultra-sweet - it might just work.

ARIES
You have so much inner strength at the moment you will easily be able to overcome any feelings of fear or self-pity even if you are alone or unwell. You need to fulfil all your obligations, and taking it slowly will see the best results. An unusual love situation fascinates.

TAURUS
Just because you are working on a creative project that is getting to a critical stage, it doesn’t mean you can overreact. The more you co-operate with colleagues and ask for their help (even if you ignore it), the better. You expect your man to understand.

GEMINI
If you stop yourself feeling emotion in order to avoid being hurt, you’ll probably become overly defensive and then assault his ears with too much talking and not enough action. You seem more than usually demanding. Luckily your career plans are improving by the day.

CANCER
You could hear some news or information that isn’t as positive as you’d hoped. Instead of overreacting, chat honestly and openly to someone who has a broader view or perspective. A different viewpoint might be just what you need. Love is physical.

LEO
You may need the services of an accountant or tax expert today, especially if you are in a partnership or joint venture. Whatever happens, get your finances in order and your book-keeping up to date. Others probably depend on you. If there isn’t passion in your love life, maybe it’s time to move on.

VIRGO
Not only are others not in the mood to cooperate with you, but the goal posts could be moved too... Instead of overreacting use your usual, friendly approach with added charm to defuse any volatile situations and bring some clarity. Love will be great if you don’t talk too much.

LIBRA
At work the only problems come from lack of attention to detail and if you haven’t communicated clearly. The same goes for health problems, so read prescriptions carefully, and be clear about what is wrong and how it can be cured. You want to be the driving force in your relationships.

SCORPIO
Avoid accidents when travelling, look after any tickets (flights, theatre etc) and make sure your car has petrol and in good working order. You can easily get on with creative projects, though these might not always be understood by anyone else. Are you keeping quiet about your latest lover? Why?

SAGITTARIUS
If you expect delays in your negotiations, contracts and leases you won’t get so upset when they happen. Do keep the keys to your house, your deeds and other important papers in a safe place. You can’t blame anyone else if you lose them... You might have a sharp tongue, but you aren’t mean.

CAPRICORN
With so much going on and being so busy with business projects, neighbourhood activities and rushing to meetings it’s vital you ensure your transport is reliable and on time. Have all the facts and figures ready - you don’t want to be caught out with misinformation. Be patient in love.

AQUARIUS
You could have a hard time balancing your books today. Check for mistakes in your banking, receipts and payments. Instead of getting angry, calm down - this could easily be a blessing in the end. Be methodical and ordered. You are ready for some inspired erotica tonight. ]]>

22 February 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/22-february-2012 PISCES
Expect the way you think of yourself to change in a very positive way. It’s a good time to rid yourself of addictions like smoking, drugs or alcohol. Tell family and friends what you think and feel. Co-operation at work is needed. Love is physically and emotionally exhausting.

ARIES
You resent any interference in your career goals, but today you welcome the input from your family over your future and find it easier to cope with the demands of both your work and your home. Your love life seems richer as you protect each other.

TAURUS
You feel comfortable and competent, and you have great self esteem. Use these attributes in discussions with colleagues and business associates - they’ll listen as your input is inspiring. Your love life is a bit emotionally unbalanced, but wild sex satisfies.

GEMINI
It’s easy today to see everything from two different viewpoints - one is your usual, level- headed approach and the other is the emotional level. Consider them both for the clearest answers. You might be a bit too defensive and talkative to enjoy love-making tonight.

CANCER
You're ultra feminine today, and you might easily use tears to manipulate everyone into looking after you. This is fine if it’s only for a couple of days, but don’t let it become a habit. Be open about what you want instead, and reach beyond your comfort zone. Love is a great escape.

LEO
Exercise is necessary today to keep your body, mind and spirit in sync. You start by being more than usually understanding and feeling, but you can easily become impatient when no-one listens to your pearls of wisdom. Calm down! Romantic love from your partner is the answer.

VIRGO
Today is a good one to get to grips with all your housework and getting everything clean, tidy and ironed. It's boring, but it will make you feel so much more in control when your home is in order. Then, give yourself time to relax and enjoy your favourite sexual fantasy.

LIBRA
You're more glamorous than usual, and there is an air of mystery about you, too. Listen to your sharpened intuition - you can learn a lot and use the knowledge to develop your talents and skills. You can inspire your man to elaborate, unforgettable lovemaking.

SCORPIO
Romance is on your mind, but you probably know exactly who and what you want, and could become extremely critical of anyone who falls below your expectations. Don’t despair or give in to bouts of (secret) sobbing. Your creative edge will fulfil your dreams in the end.

SAGITTARIUS
You aren’t at your most practical at the moment, especially in matters to do with your home and family. Renovations could get out of hand, and cost you far more than you’d budgeted for as your imagination takes you on a fantasy journey. In love, femininity wins.

CAPRICORN
If things go wrong (with computers or your car) you’ll lose your usual cool and burst into tears of frustration. Luckily, Jupiter is bringing some optimism and you’ll soon take charge and do whatever has to be done. In love, you need to feel protected. Tenderness wins.

AQUARIUS
There are huge benefits to be made to your financial situation through discussions and the luck brought by Jupiter, especially in all matters to do with property whether renovating, buying, renting or selling. The Pisces Sun and Moon bring out the sentimental side of your nature. ]]>

21 February 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/21-february-2012 PISCES
The New Moon will be conjunct Neptune, your personal planet, which could make you feel a bit confused and even lethargic. Are you being told to slow down? Don’t start feeling sorry for yourself - over-indulgence will only make you feel worse. Try not to lose sight of reality in your love life.

ARIES
This New Moon in Pisces is important as it conjuncts Neptune. Take time on your own to slow down, meditate, relax and be compassionate towards yourself as well as others. Listen to what your body and your intuition say. Even in your love life you are softer, and mutual nurturing is needed.

TAURUS
You could achieve one of your important dreams or wishes now as the New Moon in Pisces conjunct Neptune suggests your intuitive powers are stronger than usual, especially in relationship issues. You will know instinctively how to react and what to say. Love should be fun and happy.

GEMINI
The conjunction of the New Moon with Neptune puts the emphasis on your intuition. Any uncertainty about the direction your life is taking will be much clearer when you use your intuitive powers as well as your usual common sense. Sex isn’t a priority today, love is.

CANCER
You really will need a box of tissues handy. You need lovemaking to be an almost spiritual experience rather than just plain sex. Meditation will help clear your mind of unrealistic schemes and misplaced spiritual idealism, and leave your creative talents inspired and free.

LEO
If there is any misunderstanding with your partner over sexual matters or joint finances, you will have to use your intuitive understanding to know what to say and do. This will be easy today with as the New Moon is conjunct Neptune. Sex-wise, you might have to take control.

VIRGO
The New Moon conjunct Neptune suggests you wait a few days before negotiating contracts or agreements. Use your highly sensitized intuition to suss out the situation before speaking or taking action, especially if there is the possibility of deception. Love is unpredictable.

LIBRA
The uncertainty brought about by the New Moon conjunct Neptune could make you feel ill. Alternative healing methods will bring relief to minor complaints or you’ll find the right doctor. Don’t become involved in anything underhand or illegal at work, and avoid scandal at all costs.

SCORPIO
‘Love is blind’ could be written for you today! Neptune conjunct the New Moon means you can’t see any faults in your new lover, or you fail to see danger in your pursuit of pleasure. Be careful not to be picked up by a stranger or to be persuaded to take drugs or excess alcohol.

SAGITTARIUS
Be very careful if buying, renting or renovating a property as you are open to deception at the moment (Neptune conjunct the New Moon in Pisces). Don’t ignore your intuition, but use it to know when to act and what to say. You are very sexy, and don’t need constant reassurance.

CAPRICORN
Your personal planet, Saturn, is helping you control the highly sensitive emotions of the Neptune/New Moon conjunction which will make your relationship with your siblings and neighbours more compassionate. Be understanding as you could easily misjudge a situation.

AQUARIUS
It's hard to keep to your usually unwavering principles during the Neptune/New Moon conjunction. Don’t lend or borrow money at the moment; earn through your usual hard work and dedication. Get-rich-quick schemes should be avoided. Can you handle the emotional input in your love life? ]]>

With the Sun in your own sign encouraging you to be emotionally OTT, the Moon is trying to keep you balanced and to use your mind as well as your feelings. Your romantic fantasies suggest erotic lovemaking, but there is still a lot of affection and nurturing being exchanged.

ARIES
Today is all about love and friendship, and the security and comfort they provide. Group activities and socialising suits you today. Try not to be too influenced by the opinions of others, especially over your health or daily work. You place no limitations on your love life.

TAURUS
Try not to expect too much, but be happy with everything that happen - you’ll get on so much better with your colleagues and your friends, and you will find it easier to direct your life as you want it to be. You have high expectations of sexual bliss.

GEMINI
Lovemaking today consists of a lot of give-and-take as generosity and enthusiasm rule. Secretly you want total perfection. Your public image inspires others as you become more idealistic and altruistic. Try not to over-indulge or your figure will suffer.

CANCER
It is time to reach out, find a greater understanding of the world, meet new people and travel abroad. Your imagination is running wild, though, and you need practical input so that you don’t follow an unrealistic path. Love-wise, you try to remain a bit detached but it is a losing battle. Try to relax and enjoy.

LEO
You have to try extra hard if you want to be independent and resourceful. Joint ventures and partnerships need your input as not everything is what it seems on the surface. You need to talk. Love-wise, self-indulgence and neediness mean you need to take nurturing rather than give it today.

VIRGO
Don’t rush into marriage or a business partnership at the moment. Your expectations could be much higher than reality. If you aren’t careful, the relationship will end in mistrust and misunderstandings. Just wait a while. Lovemaking has to be really creative to keep your interest.

LIBRA
All work and no play will make you tired and stressed, but luckily, alternative therapies such as meditation and water therapies will really help. Even a walk along a beach, dam or by a river will revive your spirits. Drink lots of pure water. Jupiter adds indulgent passion to your lovemaking.

SCORPIO
As your sense of humour strengthens, you really start to appreciate the joy of letting your imagination run wild. Daily responsibilities are there, but you carry them out with more joy and fun which makes your home life much easier. Your libido always needs satisfying.

SAGITTARIUS
There could be drama at home - try not to go OTT no matter what the circumstances as this will only stress you out. Try to find a balance between enthusiasm for everything you do and your need for emotional security. Lavish attention to the details of lovemaking will ensure satisfaction.

CAPRICORN
Neptune suggests that meetings may not go well, and that the information you receive may not be totally accurate. Don’t drown your sorrows in alcohol or over-indulge in comfort foods - they’ll make you feel even worse. Use your mental faculties to find the truth. Love is a sexual battlefield.

AQUARIUS
When it comes to making money (an emotional issue for you) you rely on your own organizational skills and power, but gather as much information as you can from the experts before making up your own mind. Sex is not a priority - you have other, more important things on your mind. ]]>

As the Sun moves into your own sign, you have this great need to talk about your fantasies as your imagination, your intuition and even your dreams become more vivid. You need someone to help you keep your feet on the ground. Love is inspirational.

ARIES
Think about your inner struggles and your successes, and remember that the world owes you nothing. Luckily, you have all the resources and energy to make your own way. Your dreams and fantasies can easily be fulfilled. Go for whatever you want.

TAURUS
As the Sun moves into Pisces, your role in the lives of your lover, friends, family and business colleagues becomes the focus. Your personal influence is increasing as you become more assertive. Take control, have patience and use your intuition.

GEMINI
You have to take more responsibility for your life now as your attitude, independence and reputation are all open to scrutiny by others. You’ll be congratulated for your achievements, but criticized for any failures. You have the potential - use it!

CANCER
You are up for everything now - widening your horizons, pursuing higher education, teaching, learning and writing. Your spiritual beliefs might undergo a change as you meet people from different cultures and belief systems. It’s an exciting time.

LEO
As the Sun moves into Pisces you need a more active role in your finances whether it is to do with your earnings, a joint venture or partnership, a loan, a mortgage or even an inheritance. Use your determination and willpower to keep ahead. In love, passion rules this month.

VIRGO
The Sun is moving into Pisces emphasizing your influence over others - are you independent, strong and forceful or too domineering and egotistical? The outcome of negotiation and contracts will depend on your attitude. Compromise, rather than conflict, will help.

LIBRA
The Sun moving into Pisces focuses on your daily work, your efficiency, your personal status and the pride you take in everything you do. When you feel out of control your health suffers. Relaxation, a healthy diet and an exercise regime will increase your self-confidence. Take your power!

SCORPIO
Not usually known for self-indulgence, you now want more fun, romance and humour in your life. Your imagination is soaring, and you allow your creative talents to be freer than usual, too. Children could play a greater role in your life. Don’t let your need for attention become OTT.

SAGITTARIUS
The Sun moving into Pisces makes you more focussed on your family, home and property - and on your family dynamics as you become more assertive within the family group. Property dealings (buying, selling, renting and renovating) take up your time, and success depends on your attitude.

CAPRICORN
The energy of the Sun moving into Pisces encourages you to focus on communication, including computers, social media appliances as well as on your leadership qualities within your local community. You have ideas and opinions, but be assertive rather than aggressive.

AQUARIUS
The focus is on your self-esteem as well as on the progress you are making towards being financially independent. You have the energy and the willpower to succeed, and others are ready to help, especially when you show personal integrity and generosity. Take your courage and succeed. ]]>

18 February 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/18-february-2012 AQUARIUS
You are at your most decisive today, and could be ready for a fight if no-one listens to you. Try not to overreact, no matter how frustrated you feel, especially with your home, family or partner. Make a conscious effort to switch off by listening to music, or going to the theatre or a movie.

PISCES
This is another good day where you are highly sensitive to everything going on around you, and your intuitive powers are even stronger than usual. Tell your friends and your man exactly how you feel. Patience may be needed. If you can, avoid legal matters today.

ARIES
There seem to be obstacles and frustrations to achieving everything you want to at work. Try to moderate your expectations, and slow down. Check and double-check that everything is in order and that your figures are correct. Don’t forget that there are two of you in the relationship.

TAURUS
The pursuit of pleasure is very important despite the main focus being on your career. When you can combine your creative talents and social skills with your work, you are in a total win-win situation. Love-wise, try not to be too controlling. Relax and enjoy…

GEMINI
Your powers of persuasion are very apparent at work, and you can get anyone to agree with you. You feel you have to win today, and moderation is needed in order to avoid wasting your energy. You aren’t at your hottest love-wise, so let him take the lead.

CANCER
Business associates, friends and neighbourhood issues take up your time with endless meetings and discussions, but none of them go anywhere despite your confidence and spirit. This could be very de-motivating. There are great possibilities sexually, but don’t expect too much too soon.

LEO
Financial matters take up your time, but the frustrations of having to sort through your bills and papers as well as making payments could be quite exhausting, and leave you feeling a bit depressed. Be decisive, take charge and it’ll all fall into place. Sex-wise, you know exactly what you want - tell him.

VIRGO

Love-wise, you have the power and you know what you want, but if there are too many frustrations and problems you could become tired and give up. You might even want to travel to get away from it all. Relax, take your courage and tell him exactly what you feel.

LIBRA
You could easily have a few sleepless nights at the moment as you worry over joint ventures, partnerships and money. You do need to work on exercising moderation in all things by being patient, unselfish and showing quiet self-control. Fashion takes the place of passion.

SCORPIO
You probably would love to have time out alone, but friends, work colleagues and business associates all need your time and energy. You probably have to fight for your beliefs, and this leaves you tired and lacking in energy. Take time out for simple loving.

SAGITTARIUS
At work your lack of moderation and need for action doesn’t win you friends. Patience and taking time out to re-charge your batteries will have more effect. Show your appreciation for your colleagues instead of fighting all the way. Love may not be long-term, but have fun anyway.

CAPRICORN
Taking too much time out and pursuing pleasure instead of work may leave you having to defend your actions. Very tiring... You still make money, though, which is comforting. Your self-centredness means you are respected, but are you really loved today? ]]>

17 February 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/17-february-2012 AQUARIUS
The planets are smiling today, though you're going to have to do a lot of hard work if you're going to earn as much money as you want to. Property dealings will be successful too - negotiate, research and investigate all possibilities. In love, you probably talk too much, but at least you're having fun.

PISCES
Love is great fun, but he will find it difficult to satisfy your demands today. Your quiet charm covers your need for a hot, red-blooded lover, and your unassuming, yet strong leadership qualities give you more influence at work than you could imagine.

ARIES
You thrive on drama, and could get buckets of it today. It's nothing bad, just that you get bored when things come too easily. Even if you try to exert control, in the end it will spill over into delicious fantasies.

TAURUS
Your intuition is stronger than usual, so use it to know when to exert control and when to give way. You could be dreaming of escaping from your daily rut, but how will you do this? Travel and fun are important, but don’t ignore your career. Love has to be the best.

GEMINI
Finding emotional security is important. You may be all light and airy on the surface, but underneath you are really quite ambitious. Sex-wise there is passion, but there could be a coldness and a lack of emotional warmth today. Forget work, and give in to love...

CANCER
You both demand and offer love, nurturing and caring today, and a soul mate will provide the emotional content, even if he isn’t the macho dude you sometimes crave. Saturn is bringing control over your home life, and you can easily succeed in sorting out problems.

LEO
Is it time to assess your skills and determine whether you need further training if you want to go higher up the corporate ladder? If you need a bank loan, this could be a good time - just ensure you have all the facts and figures. You can accomplish anything now, including a daring love life.

VIRGO
You might feel as if you are in a comfortable rut with your hopes and dreams coming to fruition, though it might not be as exciting or fulfilling as you thought. That’s life. As one dream is fulfilled, it’s time to chase another.

LIBRA
Whether it is to do with your home and family, your work or anything else, research and investigation will help bring the answers. You need to see things from a deep level rather than just on the surface. He has to share in your cultural pursuits if he wants to stay on the scene.

SCORPIO
The focus shifts towards using your communication skills, and plays a big part in any new relationships, whether business, friendship or love. A holiday or trip with your romantic partner is possible, but try to avoid obsession.

SAGITTARIUS
It is time for social climbing and meeting up with people of influence. You aren’t interested in the plebs. When you hang out with people you look up to, you'll feel stimulated, and almost live their experiences. Don’t take your other friends for granted or ignore them, though - you’ll soon find that they are just as important.

CAPRICORN
Your self-control as you climb the success ladder is remarkable, but don’t expect instant success. Relish every opportunity to widen your horizons, learn new skills and meet the right people. Your love is supportive, but is there enough passion? ]]>

16 February 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/16-february-2012 AQUARIUS
Anything to do with property looks successful, and negotiations go well despite some minor frustrating obstacles. Be patient - all the loose ends will soon be tied up. Sexually, there is a bit of tension, possibly because your energy levels are low and he expects the usual ecstatic sex.

PISCES
Taking a short trip will be successful today as meetings and learning new skills take your career up a notch. However, it won’t hurt to take extra care on the roads and avoid road-rage. Overreacting is a no-no, and love is an almost spiritual experience.

ARIES
Money for you is a source of pleasure, so use your good judgment especially if the bank balance is a bit low. If your friends only love you for your money, they are not worth keeping. Love-wise, you prefer not to keep to any rules, but sometimes they are necessary.

TAURUS
The bad news? Ove--indulgence in all the good things will make you put on weight. The good news? The remedy (exercise, good diet, patience) is easy enough to find. Surf the net; you’ll easily find a solution to suit your needs. Love, like food, is never enough.

GEMINI
You are gaining great inner power, though the outward results may be hidden or at least not very obvious at the moment. Instead of indulging in self-pity, take in the full picture and be positive. Everything is coming your way. Do you and your man share the same aspirations?

CANCER
Too much of a good thing, especially if you're tempted away from your partner, can have really difficult consequences, so think carefully before you do anything you’ll later regret. Career-wise, things are in your favour, and you can almost pick and choose.

LEO
Be alert, and don’t be taken in by fast talkers with false promises. You work very hard for your money, and you don’t need to have it taken away from you. Patience is needed; don't rush in to situations too quickly. Luxurious pampering is necessary in your love life.

VIRGO
Compromise is necessary in love. Name-dropping and social climbing might help in the short-term, but long-term you need your usual hard work, coupled with advanced training. Luck is certainly with you, and you talk to the people who really matter to you.

LIBRA
Be positive - you have good judgment, so use it regarding money, the payment of debts and joint ventures. If you mix with the wrong people you could easily lose out, but the opportunity is there to learn something that will really benefit your future.

SCORPIO
You need as many friends and people around you as possible at the moment. Avoid the tendency to take them for granted or over-estimate the assistance you receive. Legal matters and negotiations go well through the c--operation of everyone else. Sexually, there are no barriers.

SAGITTARIUS

CAPRICORN
Living the glamorous life is important for you, but does your man really want this? Your love life isn’t suffering, even if you do have a different end in sight. This is the time to find true romance. Too much self indulgence now could mar your career plans. ]]>

It’s time for adventure! Make the most of all new opportunities, especially if they will help you forget unhappy memories. Love-wise, it is all about spontaneity and fulfilling your needs. Anything goes - and the sexier, the better.

PISCES
Earning the money you deserve should be easier now, and you could find new and exciting opportunities, especially through your friends and business associates. Don’t dismiss ideas, but don’t take unnecessary risks, either. In love, you have an intuitive understanding of your partner’s needs.

ARIES
You feel happy enough within yourself to change your self-image and even aspects of your personality as you grow, learn and relish new experiences. Personal freedom is vital to you, and today you want to live outside the rules and enjoy whatever you want with whomever you want.

TAURUS
This is an exciting time, and you can easily give up anything that has been holding you back (like relationships or attitudes) and move forward. The results might be unexpected, but will be very worthwhile. You want the good life, and everything is possible, including a new man...

GEMINI
The emphasis is on friendships as new people come into your life, both socially and for business. A friendship could develop in love or vice versa as the roles you play in each other's lives change. You might have to rethink your career goals. In love, the more boldly sexual, the better.

CANCER
Freedom to be independent could make you rethink your career goals, but outside forces have a role to play in your life, too (like the current economic climate). It is very exciting, but don’t expect immediate success. In love, can your man assuage your huge appetite?

LEO
Your innate sense of what is important means you could decide to return to your studies or take up further training. You also have itchy feet, so an overseas trip will fulfil your need to have fun and perhaps indulge in a new romance. Explosive lovemaking looks exciting.

VIRGO
Have you already met the man you want to spend your life with? Remember, love isn’t only sacrifice and service - it’s an enthusiastic, optimistic partnership. Being self-reliant and resourceful not only keeps him on his toes, but adds to your self-worth. In love, sensuality rules.

CAPRICORN
You could easily find family responsibilities are just a bit too much. Instead of breaking these ties, give yourself time out. Move to a new home if necessary, or do whatever you can to make your current environment suit you. You need glamour now - in all areas of your life. ]]>

14 February 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/14-february-2012 AQUARIUS
It might be Valentine’s Day, but there is sexual tension and jealousy. Lighten up, and don’t let your imagination run away with you; use your intuition to keep to the truth. Your quick thinking and intelligence will make you money. Make the most of any opportunities that come your way.

PISCES
As Mercury moves into your sign, your intuition becomes even stronger than usual, and you're easily able to tune in to everyone’s thoughts. Everyone finds you appealing and just a little bit mysterious. Even so, you can easily become depressed, so let your sense of humour rule.

ARIES
Mercury moving into Pisces suggests you ask your partner and friends to help you find answers to problems as you may have a clear understanding of what is actually wrong, and how to put it right. Love matters take up a lot of your time and are emotionally draining. Stay upbeat!

TAURUS
A new friend could enter your life, someone who helps you make the most of all the opportunities that come your way and relish the adventure of living. Friends and business associates are all ready to listen, and meetings at work are extremely productive. In love, is there enough laughter?

GEMINI
People are turning to you for advice and to share your ideas and knowledge. You could receive some very good news such as a job offer or a promotion now that Mercury, your personal planet, has moved into Pisces. Being overly sensitivity to the remarks made by your man could leave you feeling down.

CANCER
Your travel plans work out well, especially if they involve a trip abroad for study or business. Your interest in spiritual matters and learning about new people and cultures widens, and this is a good time to further your studies. Your sexual needs could make you unfaithful - be careful!

LEO
This is a good time for entering a joint venture or a business partnership. Develop your talents and skills now, and you could make a lot of money. Medically, should an operation be needed, do careful research first. Whatever your sexual fantasy, now is the time to experiment.

VIRGO
You are probably quite happy in your emotional rut today, but just remember that you are stronger and more powerful than you appear. Think about what you really want, and don’t hold back - tell him exactly what you want and he’ll willingly comply.

LIBRA
As Mercury moves into Pisces you are more concerned with your health. Even if you have no problems, learn about new, subtle healing methods of relaxation and de-stressing as well as focusing on your diet and exercise. In love, surrender seems to be the key.

SCORPIO
Mercury moves into Pisces today, and writing and speaking projects become the focus. Investments could be tricky unless you investigate all the facts and figures. Get expert advice even though your intuition is strong. Love is fierce this Valentine's Day. Try giving up control for once.

13 February 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/13-february-2012 AQUARIUS
Your intuition and insights into making money are very astute, but Saturn is telling to you be conservative and not too impulsive. Your logical mind combined with the Scorpio Moon intensity is a winning combination. Love-wise, you're feeling quite exhausted.

PISCES
Thank goodness your sense of humour helps you see the ridiculous in most situations, but even so your moods and emotions are unpredictable, so keep a box of tissues handy. You need your man to understand. Luckily your sexual passion isn’t affected.

ARIES
Use your inner drive and passion for living to inspire your friends and business associates, and your whole life will be energized. Partnerships and joint ventures will move forward, too, as long as you listen as well as having your own opinions. Love becomes an addiction.

TAURUS
Your sexual connection overcomes any other differences. Work on the positive potential and learn how to let go of the negative - it should be very healing. Work-wise, tolerance and controlling your emotions will help a lot.

GEMINI
You want to be everything to your man, and he has to devote his life to you. But, is this possible? It might be time to get real. Being self-righteous is a no-no; demonstrate your love instead. At work, control your impulse to take charge and tell everyone what to do; instead, tolerate their way of doing things.

CANCER
Saturn is urging you to be tolerant at home and with your partner, so curb your impulse to overreact. Lavish your man with affection, and he will respond to your magnetism in unexpected ways. Your imagination has no boundaries, especially regarding all things spiritual.

LEO
Try not to give in to anger or become too passionate or OTT today. You expect total loyalty from everyone, especially your man, but he is only human and may not realise what you need. Accept him as he is or move on.

VIRGO
Love-wise, you are very intuitive and sensitive today. Remember, you are quite complex and far more powerful than you appear. Saturn suggests you curb your spending at the moment so think about what you really want - and no impulse buying!

LIBRA
Feeling jealous of someone who has more money, influence or, even worse, the man you want? It's hard, but realise that there is something or someone far better out there waiting for you. Use your intuition and creative talents. Remember, energy follows thought.

SCORPIO
Your creative force is extreme today, even a bit OTT. Try not to over-dramatize everything; use your talents and passion to make everyone’s lives better. Tolerance is needed, no matter how hard it is for you to keep quiet. Try to be the calm voice of reason.

SAGITTARIUS
You want your man to love you and only you, and would be happiest if the two of you were safe in your ivory tower where you could have all of his attention. That is, until you get tired of solitude, and need the outside world again. Your career is your real focus, but try not to be too opinionated.

CAPRICORN
Talking to colleagues, business associates and financial experts is the best way to ensure that your financial situation improves. There could be an offer to study or work abroad where someone from a different culture has something important to offer. In love, the focus is on the ridiculous.

More than usually competitive and aggressive, you can easily achieve your goals at work - as long as you are left alone to do whatever you see fit. Expect others to object, but go for it anyway, and try not to be impatient. You need your man to be tough and protective today.

LIBRA
Use your inbuilt charm to let others warm to you, and don’t be too aggressive. Life is all about achieving balance. Listen to your intuition to help you develop inner strength and determination. Accomplish your creative tasks by working alone. Love veers between eroticism and cool friendship.

SCORPIO
Success comes through your interactions with friends and colleagues. If there is too much for you to accomplish today, ask for help. Love-wise, the one thing that could really destroy a relationship is being unfaithful or having a secret lover.

You are focussed on your work, and you should now get the financial rewards you deserve – your career is on the up-swing.

Your daily responsibilities at work seem to be increasing, and you’ll have to use your imagination to ensure they don’t just become tedious and boring. The good news is that, by using your charm, you can negotiate an increase in salary. You enjoy a very healthy sex life, and retail therapy calls.

GEMINI
Today is all about the pursuit of pleasure. Love-wise, you like the idea of a long-lasting love affair and a stable home life, but the idea of emotional commitment as part of the deal is not so attractive. Just make sure you don’t promise more than you are willing to give. Your imagination is running wild…

CANCER
Your home life is bringing you more warmth and support than you’d imagined or hoped, though in the long-term you mind find all the added responsibilities quite restricting. Aim for balance. As long as you have a quiet room or space where you can recharge those inner batteries, you’ll be fine. In love, the more spontaneous, the better.

At work you’ll be able to talk and discuss your ideas very seriously, especially if your vision is both creative and practical. These ideas could make money both for you and your business – perhaps it's time to take a bit of a risk. Your competitive spirit makes your love life a very sexy battle ground.

VIRGO
You are being asked to decide what's important to you – your career, your finances or your creative spirit? When you can happily mix them all with love and romance, you’ll be a really happy, well rounded woman. It's time to go after what you want. Love is fickle, but fun.

LIBRA
Now is the time to get your body, your personal appearance and self image just as you want it to be. Discuss a make-over with your hairdresser. Don’t forget to have a medical and dental check, then focus on your personal goals. Love is creative, free and easy – what more can you ask for?

SCORPIO
Working on creative projects at home is creative and invigorating, but could be very costly to the bank balance. Face your fears and worries rather than becoming full of self-pity. You will be rewarded for your hard work and gain inner strength, too. Love is pressurized, but hard to resist.

SAGITTARIUS
What makes you happy? The role you play in the lives of your friends, or is it your career? Use your imagination to take your life towards your goals. Jupiter is smiling on your work – job seekers have great luck. Your love life is tactile, flirtatious and fun. ]]>

There could be a very welcome change in your living arrangements - anything from someone coming to stay to moving home or redecorating. It will take a bit of work, though, so be prepared. Even when you're very busy, it’s necessary to remember your usual daily routine and chores. Love-wise it’s great fun, but you are the boss!

AQUARIUS
You aren’t in the mood for too much routine - the more creative and exciting your day, the better, especially if directed at a new project. Love-wise, you could easily break off with your partner for no apparent reason except that you're a bit bored. You need to be a free spirit today.

PISCES
You can be quite manipulative when you feel like it, especially with friends, family and at work. You usually come out on top, but not always. Your finances look a bit unpredictable today, but you’ll soon be able to find ways of making up any loss. If you lack self-confidence you’ll miss out on fantastic sex.

ARIES
You know you are totally unique, and today you want to tell everyone just what you are about. Freedom to be yourself is increasingly important, and you want to follow your new ideas to boost your career. Love-wise, you are in the mood for experimenting in a light-hearted, uninhibited way.

TAURUS
An unexpected, but in the end very favourable, event could happen which makes you think about your personal independence. You have some great new ideas for making money which need to be thought about, too. Your love life is more exciting than it has been - almost a whirlwind of romance and adventure.

GEMINI
You enjoy being free to do whatever you want, expressing yourself in your own, unique way and making friends with new people. You’ve probably moved away from old friends and family, and you may have to be content with a smaller group. You aren’t too sure about commitment - you need excitement.

CANCER
If you feel you aren’t totally in charge of your life, remember you can’t control all the outside influences. Relax, and go with the flow. Your family supply the emotional warmth, so let them know just how much you feel. Your man needs your support - in return for amazing sexual tricks.

LEO
You could feel a bit bored and restricted. It’s time to plan your next holiday or find a way of broadening your knowledge and meeting new people. You and your man have a lot in common, especially if he supports your need for retail therapy... Sexually today you can
expect total bliss.

VIRGO
You are in the public eye today, but probably feel it isn’t exactly what you’d hoped for or planned. You know you have to be more financially independent, but may not be sure how to go about it. Just be yourself, and go with your ideas. Let your man take your mind off problems with exotic sex.

LIBRA
Adaptability is your strong point. Use your clever mind and your friendly attitude, and you just can’t go wrong. The more you are seen to cooperate, the easier your life will be today. The last thing you need today is drama in your love life. Your sense of humour really helps here.

SCORPIO
Flying pheromones, lust and fun - but will it last? The sexual attraction might stay, but you probably aren’t sure of what or who you want at the moment. Your health is good, but a new, unorthodox approach attracts. Be careful and check it out carefully. You need rest and healthy food to get you through.

SAGITTARIUS
Love, romance, great sex and a busy social scene with some added adventure will really make your life zing... But, there are bills to be paid, so you’d better direct some of your ideas towards your work and financial ambitions. Singles, you could meet someone quite unorthodox and unusual. ]]>

4 February 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/4-february-2012 CAPRICORN
Duty and honour are excellent qualities, but when you add your instinctive flair for knowing exactly what everyone wants, you’ll really achieve. You could feel restless and decide to take your career in a new direction - think creatively as it’s a big world, full of opportunities... Love could be the real thing.

AQUARIUS
Your home and property are important issues, but lighten up if you feel you are being a bit too intense. The question of money and shared resources comes up again, and you might have to collect money owed as well as pay an unexpected bill. You need your man to listen to what you have to say (a lot).

PISCES
You’ll achieve far more with the help of your partner or colleagues than you will on your own. You have bags of enthusiasm and energy, but still need their inspiration to really get you going. You would quite like some quiet time alone, but this probably won’t happen. Your partner won’t let this happen tonight, either.

ARIES
Your energy levels are even higher than usual, and you become even more competitive - just don’t become aggressive. Excess energy can be used up with vigorous exercise, either at the gym or in wild lovemaking. Finances look good as Lady Luck is still smiling on you.

TAURUS
Everything today is encouraging you to indulge in the things that give you pleasure, and your creative juices are flowing at work and in your social life. Your love life isn’t far behind - you just want romance and fun rather than heavy emotions. Career-wise, you seem a bit confused, but it will sort itself out in a few days.

GEMINI
Inviting family and friends home and doing things together as a group, as well as getting to grips with decorating and renovating your home, are the issues that fill you with enthusiasm today. If you’ve recently moved, it's a good time to sort out boxes and ensure that your home suits you. There is not much time for love.

CANCER
Take the lead in all neighbourhood and community projects and events. You have so many ideas, though, that you can’t decide what to do next. Gather friends and colleagues together. Meetings will be highly successful at work, too. Your love life is passionate, but can you handle all this emotion? As long as he is a friend too, it’s fine.

LEO
Your focus is on making money today through your career, and the prognosis couldn’t look better. It's important to get all your papers sorted and bills paid so that you have a clean sheet. At work, you easily meet your deadlines. Retail therapy is called for. Love-wise, you need your buzzing libido to be satisfying.

VIRGO
If you're feeling a bit impatient and restless, search the net to see what opportunities there are overseas. Stay with friends, travel around and be adventurous. You might decide to work abroad, too, and there could be great openings coming up. Don’t sit back - act! Love is powerful, which might be the reason you are still here.

LIBRA
Someone from your past could reappear - is he welcome? It could bring back memories which need to be sorted. Someone close may have to go into hospital or need your assistance. Being involved in charity work is very rewarding, too. Your love life is highly sensual - just how you like it.

SCORPIO
Friends will give you the help and support you need, especially when choosing between love and friendship. Your sex life is more of an addiction than just lovemaking - exhilarating, but quite exhausting. Don’t forget that there are meetings and work to get through, too. Finances look good - is it time to sort out your investments?

SAGITTARIUS
You need everyone, especially your favourite man, to look at you, admire you and tell you just how wonderful you are. As long as you believe in yourself and in everything you do, you’ll succeed - probably more than you could ever imagine. In love and sex, you are insatiable. ]]>

3 February 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/3-february-2012 CAPRICORN
Your creative spirit lightens your life and you move on with huge self-confidence, enjoying every challenge that comes your way. Don’t lose your cool if there is a minor setback. Your popularity is rising, and there could be a new love interest, too. Sex-wise, it is up to you to tell him exactly what you want and need so you’re not disappointed.

AQUARIUS
Everything you do, especially new projects including anything to do with property, will be successful. It's best if you don’t talk to too many people about your ideas at this stage - investigate and research first. Your colleagues are only too pleased to help and cooperate with you. You need your man to be practical and earthy today.

PISCES
Today you are able to help a friend or someone who really needs your love and healing with your special way of comforting. Just make sure you stand back a little and don’t drown in your own emotions. Business meetings are highly successful, as long as you avoid direct confrontation. In love, it's fantasy time.

ARIES
Your love life, as well as your business relationships, is being lit by Jupiter and the Moon, bringing bags of self-confidence and optimism. You feel there is nothing you can’t achieve, so go for it. Your finances look particularly good today which is a welcome relief. Mars brings energy but also headaches if you overdo it.

TAURUS
The Moon suggests that a love life of emotional, comforting sex is what you need for the next few days. If this isn’t available, some intense retail therapy will have to suffice. Try not to exaggerate your status in order to impress. Socialise, but don’t over-indulge - you most likely need to detox to get over the festive season indulgences.

GEMINI
Some quiet time is needed in order to get over a very busy Christmas season. If you are given a raise in salary or a promotion, don’t brag or talk about it at the moment. A member of your family or a close friend probably needs your help and support, so be generous with your time and money. Love-wise, you are far more sensitive to his needs.

CANCER
Carry on as usual - even if you feel you aren’t achieving much, you’ll soon start to see the good results. Friends and colleagues are a great source of comfort and support, but you need your freedom, too. Love-wise, trust and sharing are the way forward, but you need something or someone to lighten your spirits.

LEO
You are in the public eye, and your career is on the up-swing. Your optimism is inspiring to everyone around you too, and you feel like you’re finally achieving your ambitions. Someone with influence is there to help you, so go for whatever you want now. Love-wise, are you too inflexible to really give in to your emotions?

VIRGO
You’d probably like your present romance to become more committed, especially if you share the same philosophical and emotional approach as well as the same dreams. Don’t let nerves and worrying become a problem - luck is with you now. Your energy is inspiring, but don’t be too competitive.

LIBRA
You have the opportunity to make money from your creative talents. Follow your vision, maybe in partnership rather than on your own. It could bring in more money. Just believe in it and it will happen. Your love life is sumptuous, sensual and probably excessive. It may not last, but what a ride!

SCORPIO
This isn’t the time to be alone or out of touch with everyone - other people will help you succeed. It will help if you can give in occasionally instead of always being in charge of every situation. Love-wise, passion rules as long as he isn’t too submissive.

SAGITTARIUS
You might want a lot of attention from your man, but is he willing to give it to you? Think carefully about commitment if there are too many differences (you like freedom and adventure - what does he want?). Keep on top of your work, and don’t take it for granted in these hard economic times. ]]>

2 February 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/2-february-2012 CAPRICORN
Today you have far more optimism about the future, especially regarding your home. You're prepared to take a risk, especially in love and romance, as you take a step further into commitment. You will be accused of being too impulsive – let your intuition guide you. Just remember that love is sharing, not domination.

AQUARIUS
The Moon and Mercury are both encouraging you to tell your family exactly what they mean to you. Your generosity will be noticed, and this is a good time to socialize with your colleagues. It could help your career aspirations, especially if you use some of your big ideas. In Lovemaking, eroticism rules.

PISCES
You gain the respect of your friends with your great advice and help. There are still a lot of social events going on and you are ready to join in everything offered - just remember that you do need a quiet space where you can recharge your batteries. Usually quite demure, today you want to be swept off your feet. Will he join in?

ARIES
Take charge of your finances - you know exactly what is right for you, and won’t accept any interference. However, being too impulsive can work against you, so investigate all possibilities before committing to anything. Being a bit wilful, you seem out of reach - but someone is waiting to turn friendship into love.

TAURUS
It is all about having fun today, but do watch that you don’t over-indulge as this can be disastrous for your health. Not only that, but everyone is watching you and noticing what you do - especially the very people who can help you up the corporate ladder. Romance could blossom into a relationship.

GEMINI
Your love life looks like fun, but you could make a decision too quickly and then regret it. Slow down, and take time out to consider what you really want. Ask yourself if you share the same values and ideas, and whether your family get on with him. If not, why not? Also, you need someone who understands your sexual games.

CANCER
You’d be quite happy to concentrate on your love and sex life as it really is quite healing, but the Universe demands that some of your attention is directed towards your career, as the time is right to make good contacts and to discuss the future. It is vital you don’t get drawn into an argument or that you lose your cool.

LEO
A relationship at or through your work could be very tempting as your self-confidence just oozes sex appeal. But you seem a bit restless - perhaps it’s time to detach yourself a bit and plan a trip overseas or even work abroad for a while. Mars says to plan very carefully as unwise behaviour could result in money loss.

VIRGO
It’s time to plan your holidays, have fun and adventure, take a risk and do something that is out of your usual comfort zone. Saturn warns you not to over-spend, and you’ll have to stick to your own beliefs and values without losing your cool or getting involved in an argument. In love, more romantic opportunities arise than you could imagine.

LIBRA
Love conquers everything, but how much of this romance is real and how much is in your imagination? Go with the fantasy energy follows thought so whatever you dream could easily become reality, especially as Jupiter says you’ll both prosper. It's important that he shares your need for the finer things in life.

SCORPIO
Love and business partnerships are well starred as contracts and negotiations go well and you should see positive financial rewards. A friendship is turning into something much deeper, and you enjoy a healthy and active sex life. Someone suggests an unorthodox health method which resonates with your beliefs. Be careful, though.

SAGITTARIUS

You are ready to help all your friends, but you need to make a steady commitment to one particular person rather than scattering your energies to everyone. Your daily responsibilities could be increasing, and you may need further training in order to cope. He knows exactly where he stands – even when you’re in a jealous rage. ]]>

1 February 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/1-february-2012 AQUARIUS
You are even more than usually open to new experiences, and the more creative and fun you make them, the better. Work with groups and other people – your leadership skills are in demand. Love-wise, being a free spirit is a real turn-on.

PISCES
Your willingness to co-operate makes everyone happy at work, but don’t be persuaded into doing anything you don’t want to do just because you lack self-confidence. Think carefully, and give reasons for your decisions. Home is where your heart is today.

ARIES
If you are keeping a relationship secret, it is no wonder you are suffering a bit of stress. Enjoy very physical love making, and remember that your body is sacred. Don’t do anything you might regret. Career-wise, you need your colleagues.

TAURUS
Do your best to cooperate with your friends, even if they don’t want to follow all your ideas. Your romantic life could be quite adventurous, possibly even risky, so be a bit careful. Your passion at work will help your career - and your bank balance.

GEMINI
The Moon moves into your own sign today, so you are even more of a social (and love) butterfly than usual, and you're having great fun. Love-wise, variety is essential if you are to avoid boredom. What new moves can you dream up? A new business venture looks successful.

CANCER
The Gemini Moon is helping you lighten up with spontaneous lovemaking rather than predictable sex. You will have to take the lead in a business partnership, especially where finances are concerned. Adventure calls – an overseas trip, perhaps?

LEO
Try to cooperate with your partner rather than becoming overly emotional. You are a natural leader, but it helps sometimes to let him show the way. A new career opportunity is coming up for Leo – don’t rush in, think carefully.

VIRGO
Your love life seems to be opening to new possibilities, and singles could find a new ‘significant other’. Work-wise, you are now able to pursue your personal goals, and see worthwhile results as your career really takes off.

LIBRA
Talk to colleagues, discuss ideas and work together to accomplish your goals. You are at your most creative, so use your talents. Having fun and socializing are just as important as making money. Love-wise, being on the same wave-length as your partner is essential.

SCORPIO
Your home and family are potential sources of both angst and protective calm. Aggression with friends and colleagues is to be avoided, so try not to lose your cool no matter what the provocation. In love, you’ll be happier staying at home with your man tonight.

SAGITTARIUS
It’s no good trying to keep secrets from anyone at work or at home – they’ll all know, whatever you do. Love-wise you are at your most attractive, and nurturing your man who’ll respond in a very touchy-feely and loving way.

CAPRICORN
You seem to have far more energy than usual, and- travelling is really important, both locally and abroad. You want to meet as many interesting people as possible, learning and teaching as you widen your horizons. Love-wise, flattery and charm get you everywhere. ]]>

31 January 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/31-january-2012 AQUARIUS
You seem more than usually nervous and irritable today, especially if you know you are going to be asked questions you’d rather not answer. Rather than be negative, you’ll have to use your charm. Think first and decide if it’s necessary to give out the information. Does he have enough sexual 'oomph'?

PISCES
You seem to be doing some soul-searching today. Don’t dwell on losses and disappointments. What will make things better? Maybe just accepting and forgiving others - and yourself, if necessary - and moving on. When you learn to share and trust, you’ll feel a million times better. Let him pamper you tonight.

ARIES
Be aware that someone could gossip about you today, causing you hurt and disappointment. Don’t overreact as confrontation might not be in your best interest. Think first, and then decide on what to do. Real friends will know the truth. Love is highly sexual and earthy.

TAURUS
There is just no way you can keep your career aspirations secret as everyone is watching you. You will have to explain exactly what you want, need and what you are doing. This might not suit you as you have many other things on your plate. You'll just have to make time. In love, you need closeness.

GEMINI
Your holiday or travel plans may be delayed, so keep an eye on the details. Don’t get frustrated or annoyed as it won’t make things go any faster - though it might relieve some of the pressure! Being pleasant and understanding will get you more help, though. In love, is he as sensitive and understanding as you first thought?

CANCER
Shared assets and partnerships (including love) could be going through a financial blip. Get expert advice on your money problems, tax or insurances, and get real if you’ve been a bit too creative in your thinking. Is there enough intimacy in your love life, or are you just good friends?

LEO
Suddenly you aren’t getting all the cooperation you are used to from colleagues, your lover and everyone else around you. This could compromise your progress, especially if negotiating favourable terms for a long-term contract. Stay calm and discuss the issues. Love is difficult if you are as competitive and ambitious as each other.

VIRGO
You could find it hard to knuckle down to the daily routine, writing reports or finishing an important assignment. Make sure you have all the facts and figures as a lack of detail or incorrect information could cause huge problems. You enjoy the sexual energy, but you worry too much today to really relax.

LIBRA
You just want to have fun today, but there could be some delays as you could lose tickets (for a show or the cinema) or you are given the wrong details. What you thought was a promising long-term romance could suddenly come to a standstill. You may just have to take charge and show him how it’s done.

SCORPIO
Don’t expect property negotiations to work quickly or in your favour. But don’t lose your cool as this would only make the situation worse. Keep your documents and keys safe. Your family could get upset with you, too – try to keep smiling. Savage lovemaking might help calm your nerves.

SAGITTARIUS
Keep your eyes firmly on the road, don’t use your cellphone and don’t succumb to road-rage. Make sure your car is filled with petrol and that you have enough water and air in your tyres. A sibling or neighbour may have something negative to say about you - rise above it all. Eroticism rules your love life.

CAPRICORN
You need to keep a close eye on your finances as there could easily be an error in your bank statement or when shopping. Check everything very carefully. Someone might criticize your values. It is up to you to defend what you believe and do. Lovemaking could be just a bit predictable today. It's very calming, though.

Luck is with you now, especially to do with real estate, so if you're planning to move, buy or sell property, now is the time. You are brimming with self-confidence, and easily overcome any setbacks or delays to do with travel, learning new skills or setting up a business from home. Love should be uninhibited.

PISCES
Don’t limit yourself - you have some many interests, skills and talents, and you could do anything you set your mind to. You might like to take a course to develop your skills. Neighbourhood activities look exciting, with the potential to make you quite influential. When you find the right person, all the stars seem to shine brighter.

ARIES
You need to concentrate on conserving and investing at least a portion of your income, and finding ways to increase your earnings. Lay old, painful memories to rest, and move on with optimism as you have hidden talents which can be taken further. Let your man offer you protection for a change.

TAURUS
The Moon in your own sign conjunct Jupiter could be ruinous for your body, so resist the temptation to eat all that chocolate. When you take control your self-image improves, and your body becomes fit and healthy. You'll achieve far more. Lavish lovemaking is definitely on the agenda.

GEMINI
You are extremely popular today, quick-witted and with an air of stability and inner strength. Someone may need your help because they are ill or in trouble. The more willing you are, the more you’ll receive help when you need it. Sex is tender, but you don’t seem all that interested.

CANCER
You seem totally trustworthy, safe and steady, but you actually get your way very easily as you are no pushover. Love-wise, you need your man to be a good friend today, and willing to let you teach him a few tricks. What is your role in the lives of your friends? They could help you today.

LEO
You can rely on those of influence to help you in whichever way you want - up the corporate ladder, to help your family and to achieve your long-term goals, so go for whatever you want. You could gain from your present relationship or business partnership, but there has to be real, deep feeling.

VIRGO
Anything to do with the arts will be successful now, whether it's advertising, marketing, writing or taking advanced training. Your spiritual awareness increases, so travelling overseas to widen your knowledge and perspective becomes more important. Sex is a powerful motivator, and you could be in it for the long term.

LIBRA
Your self-confidence is rising today, and you feel you could achieve anything as luck is with you. Mix with the right people, and ask for a loan or a mortgage. Anything is possible. Research and the quest for knowledge are easier today, too. The more attention you give your partner, the more attention you’ll get back.

SCORPIO
You're not always outgoing, but the more you interact today, the more you’ll benefit from the Moon conjunct Jupiter aspect. Other people will help keep you stimulated and more prosperous, too. Luck is with you, love-wise, and a friendship could be turning into a deep love relationship. Just don’t expect too much too soon.

SAGITTARIUS
Are you looking for promotion or a new job? Your luck increases with the Jupiter conjunction and there could easily be new offers, even a raise in your salary. An important healer could come into your life or you find just the right doctor or treatment. Luxuriate in your sex life - it’s a winner.

CAPRICORN
Success is yours at the moment so be creative, and don’t hide your talents or your vivid imagination. Use them to their fullest in whatever project you are working on. You instinctively know what everyone wants and needs. Love-wise, romance can easily become stronger. Take charge! ]]>

29 January 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/29-january-2012 AQUARIUS
You like to have a constant companion, but you don’t really want heavy passion or a clingy boyfriend to interfere with what you want to do. You need someone successful, independent and who is an individual in his own right. Lovemaking today should be experimental and inventive.

PISCES
You just adore the macho men, though you expect them to have sensitivity combined with the mind of a poet. This is just about impossible to find, so you are quite happy to go along with your red-blooded partner’s sexual desires. You need peace and quiet today to give you time to sort out your finances.

ARIES
If your man doesn’t satisfy your sexual needs, he’d better learn quickly - or it’ll be out with the old and in with the new. At the moment, though, you are more interested in business associates, friends and whoever can help you make the money you need. Your opinions might not always be welcome.

TAURUS
You're a bit of an enigma, Taurus girl! You are so soft, feminine and sensuous, but no push-over. You demand the same sexual freedom as men, but without losing your femininity. Put your energy into your creative talents and you’ll be very successful.

GEMINI
You love to pretend you are the innocent little butterfly. This keeps you free from relationships which are too heavy or where you are expected to indulge in acts you find offensive. This way, too, the men in your life remain protective. Join up with groups of friends, have fun and don't forget to laugh.

CANCER
You can be so eager to have a steady relationship that you rush in without thought, and end up in one disaster after another. You are extremely sexual, so avoid confusing sexual attraction with real love. You are a Cardinal sign which means you can easily look after yourself. Reach for the highest - it’s waiting...

LEO
You need a man who will love, adore and cherish you in a very vocal way with outward displays of affection and adoration. You don’t really appreciate the shy guy or the macho he-man who expects you to adore him. Don’t let your competitive spirit become too much today.

VIRGO
You might look like the natural woman, but it can be extremely expensive looking like you've done nothing. Health-wise, you might make up your own remedies today - just make sure you know what you’re doing. Love-wise, relax, enjoy and don’t say too much.

LIBRA
He might think you are all sweet and demure, and could get very shocked when he realises you have sexual tricks he’d never even imagined. Today, though, you need real love and romance - otherwise you won’t waste your time or effort. You have some interesting ideas, though.

SCORPIO
No matter your age, you Scorpio woman have an innate sexuality which oozes from every pore without you even being aware of it. It's difficult to say which kind of man really suits you as you don’t know yourself. He just has to be mysterious and elusive. You could even meet him today.

SAGITTARIUS
When you meet a man who interests you use all the flattery in your vocabulary to make him feel special and needed and he'll be putty in your hands. Romance is on your mind at the moment, but does he know you enjoy a bit of variety? Try not to be overly dramatic or over-indulgent.

CAPRICORN
You aren’t interested in fun love affairs as you have your eye on the long-term. So, Ms Capricorn, you look for a partner who has it all - looks, potential to achieve (if he’s not there already) as well as being exciting and just a little bit different. Jupiter is bringing romance, and you are looking for a secure family life. ]]>

28 January 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/28-january-2012 AQUARIUS
If there is confrontation today with your boss or others who have influence, probably because of your rather radical viewpoint, be polite and listen. Your intuition will tell you when to discuss your experimental ideas. In sex, exciting and erotic suit you best.

PISCES
Try to avoid a disagreement with your partner and other loved ones as you need everyone’s co-operation. Your enthusiasm is infectious, but if you take it too far others will dig in their heels. There could be mutual agreement over finances in the next couple of days. Be loving, not smothering today.

ARIES
Watch out for accidents whether working or having some sort of adventure - a little more care will save you a lot of problems. You could end up with headache if you overdo it today. Socializing will be a lot of fun, but could be ruinous to your bank balance. In sex, you need no complications.

TAURUS
It is time to be seen in all the right places, socializing and having fun - just watch you don’t over-indulge as this could damage both your figure and your bank account. You are ultra-feminine, but enjoy earthy sex. Today you won’t take any nonsense from your man.

GEMINI
You want to play, have fun, travel and be noticed, and there is a tendency today to tell your friends what to do. You'll be better off offering love and support rather than bossing them around. Try not to rush too much if you want to prevent falls, cuts and other mishaps, both at home and on one of your adventures. In love, can you resist?

CANCER
Be careful when driving. Accidents can happen when you lose your cool, so keep calm as much as possible. Health-wise, being agreeable, co-operative and just going with the flow will help keep you from experiencing too much stress. You are extremely sensitive today, so even lovemaking should be a healing experience.

LEO
Love is the key all month, but be careful as not everyone is as honest and straightforward as you. Unwise actions could lead to a very depleted bank account, so don’t be taken in by a fast-talking stranger - no matter how attractive and exciting it all seems.

VIRGO
You want your love and sex life to be passionate and physical - but you are not as bold as you like to appear. Talk to your man about his feelings as well as yours, and what would please him. Health-wise, you seem interested in alternative methods. Don’t experiment; get expert advice.

LIBRA
Is there a power struggle going on in your love life? Turn it into a fun, passionate and romantic game. Whatever is going on today, you’ll accomplish more from behind the scenes rather than trying to be at the forefront of everything. Subtlety is what counts today.

SCORPIO
Any arguments or disagreements at home or with friends could end with you getting a migraine, so show your love and diplomatic skills, and walk away from conflict. Let your home be a place of peace, even if there are more responsibilities than usual. You’ll just have adjust to the changes.

SAGITTARIUS
This is a very hands-on time for you, and it's all about survival of the fittest. You can do anything you set your mind to, so relax and have some fun. Let romance blossom by not trying to be too dominant. Let him have his say.

CAPRICORN
Much of your time today seems to be taken up with managing the household finances including paying bills and ensuring that you stay within your budget. Think about overseas travel or advanced training, but also give yourself time for fun. Moderation is the aim in everything - except your sex life. ]]>

27 January 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/27-january-2012 AQUARIUS
You are full of unique and original ideas, and ready and eager to listen to what everyone else has to say. Your intuition will show you when to discuss your ideas - and when to keep quiet. If someone disagrees, you’ll just do what you want to anyway. Love is playful.

PISCES
With Mercury moving into your own sign it's time to talk to people from your past, including old school friends and members of your family. Your intuition is sharper than ever, and you could have some very vivid dreams. Don’t tell everyone your innovative ideas. Does your man give you the protection and love you need?

ARIES
Friendship is key at the moment, and involves your network of colleagues, business associates and members of your family. This is a good time to join a business club, fund-raise for your favourite charity and have meetings and discussions at work. In your relationship there is sexual urgency but not enough nurturing.

TAURUS
It is time to share your innovative ideas with your boss and other important people, even if they are a bit too original for everyone to understand. You have the attention of everyone who matters, and your career ambitions could now come to fruition. Love is both social and sexy.

GEMINI

Your personal planet, Mercury, moves into Aquarius today, encouraging you to see beyond your usual environment and out to the big, wide world. People from different cultures and countries have appeal and you want to learn more. Travel or study, but don’t sit still. Uninhibited love making calls.

CANCER
It's time to develop your skills and talents to their fullest, so don’t sit and wait, take action. Enrol for advanced training or research the internet. Do whatever it takes to ensure your future security. Now is the time to collect any money owed to you, and to pay off debts. Danger excites in your love life - be careful.

LEO
Any negotiations and contracts can be successfully negotiated in your favour. Meet up with lawyers, consultants and other financial experts to discuss it all. A partnership or joint venture will be beneficial. Love-wise, you have a huge attraction to your latest man - no matter how unsuitable.

VIRGO
Your personal planet, Mercury, moves into Aquarius today, encouraging you to look at your organizational skills and the planning methods you use at work. This isn’t the best time to purchase new computers or communication equipment, so wait a couple of days. Sexually, things are steamy, but don’t be too domineering.

LIBRA

You are at your most sexual - extremely exciting and wild. There will be some arguments and spats, though, so don’t expect a peaceful time. This is, on the other hand, the way you enjoy romance. At work your creative talents need an audience, especially if you are organizing a work-related social event.

SCORPIO
Today is all about real estate dealings, family projects and your computer and communication equipment. This is not the best time to buy. Keep your house keys and deeds very safe, and don’t do anything that could cause a family argument. You could meet someone very sexy, and it will be all about lust.

SAGITTARIUS
Today is one of those really busy days where you have so much on your plate you can’t decide what to do next. Prioritize, otherwise you won’t finish anything. You’ll probably be rushing around, so make sure your petrol tank is full and that your tyres are in good condition. Love is competitive.

CAPRICORN

Independence could be your mantra today, whether in your sex life or at work. You are full of unique money-making ideas, and won’t listen to anyone’s advice. However, financial experts could have something beneficial to say. Check payments carefully as there could be an error. Keep your cool.

26 January 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/26-january-2012 AQUARIUS
Watch out for traffic jams and congestion today, and be ready to get a lift with someone else. There could also be delays if you are taking a flight somewhere. Don’t become frustrated – co-operation will make your life much easier. You are in the mood for messy, uninhibited lovemaking.

PISCES
Social events and business meetings might have to be postponed or cancelled today which means you won’t have all the information or knowledge you need to make a decision. Don’t fret - be polite and understanding, and trust it will all work out anyway. Love is a box of tissues affair…

ARIES
Use all your protective, mothering qualities on everyone today as you shower affection and love on those in need. Don’t forget your partner – no matter how strong he seems he could do with some pampering, too. At work there could be delays in negotiations or contracts. Don’t worry, just wait a few days.

TAURUS
In your pursuit of love, romance and an exciting social scene, don’t forget your friends - even your business associates could do with some of the affection you're handing out. Things don’t go as quickly as you’d like at work. You’ll just have to be patient.

GEMINI
Try not to be too judgmental today just because you can’t get your tax rebate or insurance payout on time. It will happen, but everything always takes longer than it should. Be as polite as you can – it just might make things go faster. Sex is not as important as having a good, solid bond.

CANCER
Get out the box of tissues – it’s a day for opening up and talking about everything that worries you, especially family problems. This will bring tears, but great healing. You need your man to understand. This will make your life together much stronger.

LEO
Discussions and meetings at work may have to be postponed. Instead of getting upset, use the time to get your ideas and thoughts down on paper so you’ll have everything ready. Expect traffic disruptions, and ensure your car has petrol and is serviced. Your love life is happily passionate today.

VIRGO
You can be most persuasive, but today Saturn is making you a bit too judgmental over money matters – think before you criticize, and avoid confrontation at work. Towards your man you are loving and nurturing which will make your love life feel almost extravagant.

LIBRA
You probably try to organize your man to suit you today, but he might just object and follow his own needs even more. Aim for balance. Problems at home with your partner or family could be upsetting. Instead of getting angry or depressed, just go with the flow. Relax and enjoy ecstatic lovemaking.

SCORPIO
Your love life should be at its most romantic today. If not, you’ll just have to drop as many hints as you can to your favourite man. Let your affectionate and nurturing side show, not just to your partner but to friends and colleagues, too. Keep your keys and documents safe, and drive carefully today.

SAGITTARIUS
You don’t really need to be reassured of just how sexy and attractive you are, but it never hurts to hear your man tell you just what you mean to him. If you show love and affection it will encourage him to reciprocate. Your family will be happy to share some too.

CAPRICORN
You need total loyalty, not just from your man but from everyone in your group – at work and socially too. This isn’t always possible, but when you show your affection and love, they should get the hint. Your ideas at work might not be fully appreciated immediately. Explain again!

25 January 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/25-january-2012 AQUARIUS
You are independent and imaginative, and far more sentimental than usual. At work there are more meetings and social events to do with your work and business. Diplomacy could well be needed, so try not to be too competitive or domineering. Show your man how much he means.

PISCES
You’ll have to work extremely hard if you want to come down to earth. Communication is a breeze for you today, though not everyone will understand your unique vision and insights. Do you? Most people will go along with you, however, as your optimism is so infectious. In love, you need someone to make you laugh.

ARIES
You are far softer than usual, almost maternal. You still don’t want his emotional baggage, though, and the idea of some solitude is very tempting. Socializing with people from abroad could tempt you into a secret liaison. This is exciting, but why don’t you want others to know? The truth will come out…

TAURUS
Let your sense of humour show through today, especially with colleagues and anyone of influence. This will help keep you de-stressed and make you more tolerant when things don’t go according to plan. You’ll know if this relationship is the real thing as you feel both peaceful and productive.

GEMINI
Your mind is quicker than ever today if that’s possible. Emotions are another issue, though – you’ll have to work hard to stop being hurt, but try not to go on the defensive or talk too much. You could be very demanding of your man, craving attention and understanding. Sex is probably not a priority.

CANCER
You appear extremely pleasant, helpful and agreeable - but is this an act? Inside, you could be a bit suspicious of others and what they really want from you. It might be easier if you talk about things openly. Good sex will help you de-stress.

LEO
If your life is all about good timing, then you are on a roll. You know instinctively when to stay and when to go, and you are helpful to others which, in turn, helps you succeed in everything you do. You're passionate, but you might not be the most faithful if someone else has more to offer.

VIRGO
Today is all about relationships, and most of the time you’ll be the softest, sweetest person in the room. Your imagination takes you into realms of fantasy which could well be satisfied and made real. At work, though, if things don’t go according to your plan you could upset colleagues - be careful.

LIBRA
Talk about a mystery – you don’t want anyone to know your business, which of course makes them all the more interested in you. However, as you are feeling a bit shy today, simply observe others rather than talking about yourself. Love is inspired.

SCORPIO
You could be feeling in reclusive mode, not wanting everyone around you today. But this could make you feel lonely and quite depressed. What can you create out of these morbid thoughts? Your imagination has no boundaries. Love-making is healing rather than passionate.

SAGITTARIUS
It’s hard to be practical today, but you do see the big picture rather than just the detail. Your generosity of spirit makes you a pleasure to have around, and you achieve just as much through your communication skills. Don’t worry – your sex appeal is as strong as ever.

CAPRICORN
Your loyalty and protective outlook cover up a lot of your apprehensive, jittery feelings. You might want to be alone or a bit reclusive, but if you force yourself to do something out of the ordinary it will make you feel far stronger and in control. Tonight is all about love rather than just sex.

24 January 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/24-january-2012 AQUARIUS
Mars is moving retrograde until mid-April, so expect a loss of energy and a reluctance to deal with things like tax, looking after joint assets and property or even the money you look after for others. Sexual passion might disappear too. Just relax and get more rest.

PISCES
Mars moves retrograde until mid-April, so although you’ll achieve far more when working with others, you probably prefer to be alone. If you can, avoid negotiating contracts at the moment as you could just sign something on impulse, without real thought. Take time out to pamper yourself.

ARIES
Your personal planet, Mars, moves retrograde bringing a distinct lack of enthusiasm for your work, and you're unsure about what you want. This is quite an intense time. Tension headaches could be one result, so make sure you get enough rest and relaxation. Friends are your main support, so try not to upset them.

TAURUS
You don’t seem to know what you want now that Mars is moving retrograde. You could rush into a new, very physical romance and then leave just as quickly, or over-indulge in all the wrong foods when you’ve just managed to lose those 5kgs. Don’t take too many risks; you don’t want to hurt yourself.

GEMINI
Mars retrograde suggests it’s time to check your house for fire (curtains too near the stove, for example) and other hazards. Make sure your insurance is up-to-date. Your anger levels rise now. Try to avoid arguments with your partner and family.

CANCER
With Mars stationing and moving retrograde it is vital that you take extra care on the roads over these next 4 months. Accidents with fire are another possibility. You will try to do too much too quickly and results could be arguments, disagreements and achieving nothing.

LEO
If you don’t listen to experts you could lose money (this could happen even with professional advice), so be extra careful at the moment. The same goes if purchasing anything important (a car or computer, for example) as you could just rush in and buy the first thing you see without checking it out.

VIRGO
You seem more than usually physical at the moment in love, in your leisure time and especially in your work, rushing around and keeping very busy. The problem will be in doing too much too quickly, and then having to redo it all. Accidents, toothache and bites are all potential threats with Mars in retrograde – slow down!

LIBRA
You could find everyone intruding on your space just when you need to be alone to think things out, or just get on with your work. Then you could overreact, leaving you exhausted but unable to sleep. Mars retrograde can be difficult. Luckily, today your man understands and brings some welcome love and romance.

SCORPIO
Your aggressive attitude when things don’t go according to plan could upset your friends who are really trying to help and make you happy. Just explain that it is Mars retrograde. But it is up to you to work on the problem. Today your family and partner provide the loving support you need.

SAGITTARIUS
You’ll be in the public eye and take the spotlight, but this will not be to your advantage if you do things too quickly or in a slapdash way. Slow down, and think carefully before you speak or you could put your foot right in it. You could also find yourself doing unnecessary work. You need total commitment or nothing.

CAPRICORN
You want to do all the ‘right’ things, but Mars retrograde encourages you to do so many things that you achieve nothing at all in the end as you scatter your energy. Sit down, think about what you want to achieve and then narrow the goalposts. Honesty in financial affairs will add to your bank balance. ]]>

23 January 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/23-january-2012 AQUARIUS
You feel even more secure than usual when using your intellect rather than relying on your emotions. It's important for you to have quiet time on your own where you can nurture yourself and re-charge those inner batteries. Love-wise, you feel almost superhuman. What does he feel?

PISCES
The New Moon could make you a bit moody with others. Try not to take everything too personally, especially when discussing joint finances. Extravagance at this time could lead to many arguments. Make the extra effort to go along with what’s best for both of you. In love, eroticism rules.

ARIES
Today is all about relationships with friends and colleagues, and how you interact with them. You are full of exciting ideas and want them to come along with you (and do all the hard work while you direct operations). You benefit from your partner’s generosity, but don’t take it too far. Are you giving enough affection?

TAURUS
Today the emphasis is on your career and where you fit into the grander scheme of things. Are you making the progress you want, and moving onwards and upwards? You should focus on your own uniqueness, your appearance and your personality. Don’t make any hasty decisions. In love, be real if you want amazing sex.

GEMINI
The focus is on your professional and intellectual status. If you feel the need to pursue a higher education or advanced training, now is the time to get on with it. Don’t delay! Just don’t try to do too much, or you’ll suffer from burnout. Your lover is far more important than your friends tonight - be generous.

CANCER
Family connections, business partnerships and those who can help you up the success ladder are your main concerns today. Issues to do with loans and mortgages are important, but it’s even more important to develop the skills that will make you financially independent. When it comes to sex, do you really want intimacy tonight?

LEO
Look at how others regard you – as independent, or too strong, forceful and domineering? Do you use your love relationships to take you up the business or corporate success ladder? Be careful you don’t fall off. Chasing financial security is fine, but not at the expense of your integrity. Sex is deliciously erotic.

VIRGO
Life is all about self-motivation and getting on with your daily responsibilities. If you’ve taken on too much, your health could suffer through the stress of not completing the tasks you’ve set for yourself. Take time out for a relaxing beauty treatment. Be creative in your sex life, and your fantasies will be realised.

LIBRA
You're totally self-indulgent today, and the pursuit of pleasure is key. Your creative talents can go overboard, though - are there no limits to your imagination? Social events and entertainments add another dimension. Just remember your daily routine and commitments as moderation may be needed. Energetic love-making is on the cards.

SCORPIO
Domestic chores, as well as your family, are the focus, and they take on a more inspired and experimental dimension. You want more influence within the family group or close circle of friends. They give you the love and support you need at this time, too. When it comes to love, singles, you could find yourself in an unusual liaison.

SAGITTARIUS
Your life could easily be turned upside down, either by your present relationship or a new one. Relationships change and move on, and you demand lavish attention which may or may not be forthcoming. Communicating your needs is key, but is he the kind of man to listen? There has to be give and take.

CAPRICORN
The New Moon emphasizes your finances, asking not only whether you are making progress towards financial independence, but also if your principles or value system are being compromised. Don’t use money to gain affection or admiration. Use it for advanced training, travel and to widen your horizons. ]]>

22 January 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/22-january-2012 AQUARIUS
Today is a difficult day, so you have to have patience and let everything run its course, but you want to get on with everything and make progress. Aim for balance. Consider your new, innovative ideas, but don’t be too pushy or you’ll have opposition. Emotional messages are blurred, and love is a bit of a battleground.

PISCES
Relationships seem a bit difficult today, especially with business associates and close friends. You want to help, especially if someone is ill, but you have other important matters that have to be seen to. It’s no good trying to escape or run away, so just do what you can. In love, keep jealousy to yourself.

ARIES
Love? You need simple, but today seems complicated. Don’t get too dramatic. Relationships today are the cause of upset at work, so just concentrate on the daily responsibilities and don’t get involved in complex problems between colleagues. Take your own practical advice regarding financial issues.

TAURUS
Your travel plans could be delayed, or you might have to change your plans for business reasons. Don’t get upset; just go with the flow in as patient a manner as possible. Don’t over-indulge - making love, instead, is far better for your figure.

GEMINI
Are you worried that you can’t afford that holiday you’ve been planning? Only you know your financial situation, but in this present economic climate, you do need to think carefully. Be resourceful and find practical solutions – do you expect a tax refund, or does someone owe you money? Perhaps your man can help.

CANCER
Your love life seems a bit rough and extreme today, so be careful. Passions are running high, and joint income or resources are causing confusion. Be alert to what is happening, and be as open and honest as you can be when discussing the situation - decisiveness will work.

LEO
Family dynamics are the cause of concern for you today – are you being too dominating? You can’t control every situation, so let others make their own decisions. If you are going to take action, make sure it improves the situation. Discussions will solve problems. Possessiveness won’t work in your love life.

VIRGO
At work, you make all the right decisions in a creative and practical way, but don’t expect to be complimented. This could cause you emotional frustration. Just accept it as an astral blip. Be patient- everyone will appreciate you tomorrow. Love is comfortingly romantic, with unexpected passion.

LIBRA
You aren’t inclined to suffer fools today. Be careful that you aren’t too hasty with your remarks, or sound too superior. Be assertive, but not domineering and don’t interfere in anyone’s private life. Your sex-life will be quite progressive.

SCORPIO
You have some new ideas for working from home which could be very exciting and progressive. There are delays, though, surrounding your domestic life which are causing you some frustration – a burst water pipe or a gas leak might be the cause. A few clashes with your lover is exciting.

SAGITTARIUS
You want to be at the top of the social ladder, and you will do whatever it takes to climb there - just don’t push anyone else off. Be careful with your finances, and don’t compromise your values or exaggerate your income. It won’t impress. Love is brassy and very bold.

CAPRICORN
What is important in your life? You might have difficulty deciding today. Don’t worry about it, be patient and don’t force yourself to make decisions at the moment. Do something to make your home and family life more interesting and fun. Your ambition makes you do too much – relax with your man. ]]>

21 January 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/21-january-2012 AQUARIUS
This is your day - you're always interested in things that smack of being innovative or progressive, and now is the time for action. But first consider your priorities and adjust your life accordingly. See the ridiculous in your love life - humour adds spice to your love making.

PISCES
Question your ideas for making money - no matter how innovative they are, they may not be that practical and your over-confidence could make things a lot worse. Don’t accept anyone else’s values either. Research and investigate before investing in a new venture. If he isn’t inspiring you, who will?

ARIES
A business associate could come up with a really innovative idea for bringing new impetus and improving your life in different ways. This could mean giving up something which has been important, but it’s time to move on. Drama spices up your love life which is complicated, but fun.

TAURUS
Today is all about extra responsibilities and hard work. Is this an endurance test? Be patient – it will pay off in the long run, so grit your teeth and get on with it. Working as part of the team rather than as an individual will help. Love-wise, you want stability and luxury today, but is it just a tad boring?

GEMINI
Studying as part of a group and sharing new, innovative ideas or going on a trip with colleagues or friends will bring great results. You can’t do this on the spur of the moment, though; you’ll have to adjust your workload. Love is a bit of a learning curve.

CANCER
Love-wise, sometimes the wildest sexual relationships become a bit dull and lose their sparkle. What can you do to lift it up again? Don’t wait for your man to take the lead. You have some amazing ideas, so use them. Your partner’s money or joint finances need to be looked at, and sharing and trust are needed.

LEO
Patience in your love life will pay off, and you could actually reach your goals no matter what they are. You should try not to be too possessive. Think first, though – is this really what you want? Travelling abroad, as well as someone from a different cultural background, has a certain appeal.

VIRGO
At work your progressive ideas really work, and you seem adept at making money as well as improving everything for others as well as yourself. Just don’t be over-confident – work as part of the team. Your passion seems more of the mind rather than of the flesh? This is comfortable rather than exciting.

LIBRA
Love becomes more exciting by the day in unexpected ways. This might not last, or there could be some change in the dynamics of the relationship. It is very progressive, though. Saturn is urging you face up to your responsibilities, even if this means giving up some of the less useful activities.

SCORPIO
If you find him a bit predictable (sitting and watching sport every night?), then it will be up to you to find new, radical ways of changing the dynamics of the relationship. Your ideas about your health undergo some changes now, and new methods of exercising and diet are very appealing.

SAGITTARIUS
Your latest ideas for making money, getting your neighbourhood affairs sorted out and for social events are as creative as they are unpredictable. You could be doing too much at work which could lead to some stress. Try to remember that you aren’t super-human. You're both feeling pretty horny.

CAPRICORN
Your home life seems to be undergoing some changes, and you take more responsibility as well as needing more personal independence. You could decide to work from home, start a business or just move on. You need professional success, with or without your man. ]]>

20 January 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/20-january-2012 AQUARIUS
As the Sun moves into your own sign of Aquarius, it’s time to look at yourself in an unemotional way, take greater pride in yourself and see how to improve your self- image. What are your goals? Be forceful and dynamic in your own, unique way. In love, anything goes.

PISCES
Look at what makes your life difficult, see how you can overcome problems and you’ll gain great strength through your determination to win. Working as part of a group and talking to business associates will bring you more success. There could be a lover’s tiff which will liven up your sex life.

ARIES
Professional success is yours at the moment. Use it for your future benefit as well as for the immediate gains. Aggressively seeking greater financial rewards is good, but don’t go OTT. Decide what you need to make you happy, and go for it. Healthy sex will relieve any tension.

TAURUS
Is your life going in the direction you want it to? Your reputation is on the line. In these difficult economic times, is it possible to achieve? Don’t do anything which could undermine your integrity. Let your creative talents bring new luxury to your love-making.

GEMINI
You are ready to take more risks and have more adventures. Travel abroad to widen your horizons, pursue advanced skills and focus on good communication – your opinions matter. Be generous with both time and money, but ensure that you pay your way. Love is even greater when you combine business with pleasure.

CANCER
The Sun moving into Aquarius puts the emphasis on family connections, including inheritances, as well as on business partnerships. Just don’t be too demanding or critical as it could have the opposite effect. Your erotic sexual appetite needs satisfying.

LEO
For you, the Aquarian Sun is all about domination and assertiveness. Watch your behaviour at work, with colleagues and other business alliances as well as with your love partner. You need the co-operation of everyone, so be willing to help. Love is all about pampering.

VIRGO
What motivates you, both at work and in everything else that you do? You need to take pride in your efficiency and the way you carry out your daily responsibilities. You have greater influence than you think. Make sure you eat a healthy diet and have a good exercise plan. In love, don’t be over-shadowed.

LIBRA
You need your man to help you loosen up so that you can pleasure each other, in pretty naughty ways if you want. Saturn is still a bit inhibiting, making you feel unworthy of the attention you get. Lose your cool if this will bring back your sparkle. Let your capacity for having fun shine.

SCORPIO
The emphasis is on your home and family, and you could be renovating or planning to move on. Be assertive within the family group, but not OTT. Good family support can help your business aspirations and contribute to your success. In love, you need time alone together.

SAGITTARIUS
The emphasis is on transportation, local travel as well as computers and other communication equipment. You might want to learn new computer skills or take driving lessons. You’ll have more interaction with neighbours as well as your siblings. In love, there is nothing you can’t have or do.

CAPRICORN
What are your priorities, other than making money? Your principles and the things you value will be influenced by the Sun in Aquarius. It’s time to aggressively pursue your career aspirations, but do keep an eye on your spending. Don’t use your man as a way to move up the corporate ladder – you could fall. ]]>

19 January 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/19-january-2012 CAPRICORN
Despite a few career setbacks or delays today, your need to prove your self-worth is helped by your new, experimental ideas. You really want your colleagues to agree, and you could get a bit upset if they don’t. But don’t let this stop you expressing your opinions. Love-wise, your cheeky approach is a turn-on.

AQUARIUS
Talk about sexy! Today, you want your lust satisfied. Your travel or study plans are still subject to change, but don’t let this upset you or make you feel tense; it’s just a part of life. Adjust to the situation and get on with it. Be a leader instead of a follower.

PISCES
Lovemaking seems to lack the spirit of romance, and you seem a bit aggressive. Career and financial issues are on your mind, and take away your usual spirit of adventure. Perhaps your imagination is working over-time. If so, stand back and try not to let emotions interfere with reality.

ARIES
If you’ve entered a relationship out of expediency rather than love, no wonder you are feeling confused - especially if there is someone else in your life who you want to keep secret. Don’t make any decisions at the moment. Love-wise, you like to live outside the rules.

TAURUS
You probably feel you can’t control what’s happening at work, and it's making you a bit tense. You will get the recognition and rewards for your hard work, just but maybe not at the moment. Try not to say too much out of nervousness. Love-wise, you want him to be totally fixated on you.

GEMINI
You want to enjoy your love and romantic life, but you seem a bit inflexible today - as if he has to commit himself before you’ll really let yourself go. He will – if and when the time is right. Make sure you share the same values and financial goals at work and in your love life.

CANCER
You need your man to help you lighten up, but you are finding all the problems of life, your work and your home and family just a bit too much. You know what you want, and you have the ideas, but feelings of insecurity confuse the issue. Work as part of a team rather than on your own. Love is an emotional struggle.

LEO
You want to be loved and pampered, but you have to give something in return. Are you up for it? Don’t let self-indulgence mess up what should be a really good, committed relationship. It’s hard for you to communicate your feelings honestly at work – make the effort.

VIRGO
Your imagination is working overtime, so come down to earth a bit before you discuss anything with your family, your colleagues or anyone else. You have new ideas for a business partnership – it’s quite experimental, but it could work. Sex-wise, there could be some conflict here due to your stress levels. Relax!

LIBRA
Use your imagination at home to help conquer any confusion. Your intuition is strong, so you know when to keep quiet and when to express your opinions. You need your family’s co-operation to help you keep in control, both at home and at work. In love, who gives in to whom?

SCORPIO
You're lucky in love at the moment, so why are you feeling stressed? Your luck is spilling over into your career – probably because your feelings of insecurity are making you work even harder. It might be best to wait a couple of days before telling others your more outrageous ideas.

SAGITTARIUS
You feel as if you own the world – and you probably do, but don’t tell your colleagues or you won’t get the support you need. Ask for advice instead. Financially, you seem a bit out of control. It might be best to leave your credit cards at home for a few days. Vigorous sex will revitalise you. ]]>

Co-operating with others will make it easier for you to keep control of your life and your career. There will be some confusion over financial issues, and things seem to take longer to solve than you would expect. Try not to fret; concentrate on your work instead. Sex-wise, fantasy rules.

AQUARIUS
Delays in your travel plans or study sessions will be very frustrating, but as long as you adjust to what is happening without losing your cool, the easier it’ll be for you. Just don’t lose your sense of humour as it will see you through the irritations. In love, anything’s possible, so just go with the flow.

PISCES
Life is often confusing for you, and even more so today as your personal planet is in frustrating aspect to Mercury.

Think, and don’t make a decision today.

ARIES
Rules? What rules? Adventure calls, and you'll take the lead and do whatever you want to. If no-one follows, who cares? If there is a misunderstanding with your colleagues, business associates or friends, just be yourself. Love is amazingly sexual.

TAURUS

Always a bit of a bossy boots, passion and intensity rule you today, despite Saturn trying to dampen your sexual spirits. You are trying to reach beyond your immediate environment, but there is some confusion about which direction to take. Just relax – it will happen.

CANCER
Your imagination is certainly stimulated, but how much is sexual fantasy and how much is real? Have you tried to accept your partner’s values? Your intuition is stronger than usual, and this will help your career and work prospects as there is a lot to get through today.

LEO
Love and friendship are a winning combination, and today there are the added notes of romance and passion with just a touch of mystery, too. Mars is still insisting that you devote some of your time to your business or you won’t make the money you need. Unwise financial action could cause monetary loss.

VIRGO
Just what are you sacrificing in order to be successful? And, do you really want this? It's your life, so you have to make decisions that suit you. Confusion in your love life could end in you feeling stressed and even getting ill if you aren’t careful. This probably isn’t a good day to make decisions.

LIBRA
You try to lift yourself above self-made limitations, but this is hard today as Neptune is in hard aspect to Mercury, causing confusion in anything you say, write and even think. Patience will be needed, and Saturn brings you self control. Is it time to let go and let your naughty needs be satisfied?

SCORPIO
Confusion about your home and finances cause you stress, and it is vital that you be clear about what you want and how you can go about getting it. Joint ventures go well as you have the support of friends and business colleagues. Love is erotic as you don’t seem able to refuse anything today.

SAGITTARIUS
Be careful when discussing your financial affairs with anyone as you could be given the wrong information and make unwise investments. Be patient and wait a few days. Your mind is very creative, but will you make any money? You're desirable and anything but passive today - quite a sexual powerhouse! ]]>

Let everyone, especially your close friends and partner, know what you think and feel. You are feeling so affectionate and warm today, you won’t put anyone’s backs up. This won’t stop you getting cross if your travel plans have to be changed, though. You need his inspiration to make your sex life sizzle.

AQUARIUS
Not your most social day, you'll probably do better spending quiet time working on your latest project. No matter how much you earn money is a worry today, and you need to get stuck in and ensure that everyone is doing their part in terms of collecting money owed and paying bills. You need your man to be serious.

PISCES
Even if your world is falling apart, your sense of humour carries you through as you see the funny side of everything, no matter what. This, combined with your enthusiasm for everything that has to be done, helps lift everyone else’s spirits too, especially colleagues and friends. Love is healing.

ARIES
The focus is on your work and on making more than enough money. Your competitive spirit should be used to its full advantage, though avoid aggression if you want to keep colleagues and everyone else on your side. You use aggression in your love life, too. It's sexy but quite combative.

TAURUS
What gives you the most pleasure - travelling with your partner, meeting up with friends or letting your creative juices take you on new journeys? Luck is with you, no matter what you do. You make money today, and are being noticed by those who matter. Romance and love are amazing.

GEMINI
Your personal planet, Mercury, is making it easy for you to be honest about your feelings in a far more intense way than usual. Issues of shared financial resources can be dealt with easily, without upsetting anyone. Passion rules your love life. Necessary physical work at home (spring cleaning?) could make you very tired.

CANCER
Love, romance and having fun are the keys today, so let your imagination run wild. You have so many ideas, it’ll be hard to know which one to follow.

LEO
Your money and hard work should be directed towards your home and your family today, and it could be quite an expensive exercise. Make sure your finances and papers are in good order, and it is essential that you meet your priorities. If you are stressed, especially relating money, he will most likely do what he can to help.

VIRGO
You have the creative imagination, the ideas and now the energy and inspiration to go after whatever it is you want. This is not the time to hold back – the world is waiting! Love-wise, the emphasis should still be on your man and on your friends rather than on yourself. Sex-wise, let him take the lead.

LIBRA
You should spend a little money on making your workspace as you want it to be – even a vase of flowers will help make the atmosphere relaxed and enjoyable. Your health matters, and it’s a good time to join a gym, and get your diet and exercise plan working. Experimental sex rules – you are in charge, remember?

SCORPIO
The pursuit of pleasure and having fun is very important, and you’ll have more success when you join up with friends and colleagues rather than doing things on your own. Your creative force is terrific, but it could be overwhelming to others, so cool it a bit. Love veers between love and hate - exhausting for both of you.

SAGITTARIUS
Promote yourself today. Your boss, your family and everyone else see you in a good light, though this might mean a lot more extra work. At least it will help prop up your bank account, so it’s not all bad. Any property transactions will go smoothly, too. You want him to persuade you with new, erotic love-making techniques. ]]>

Business associates give you love and support, despite your intensity and need for drama. Express your opinions, but try not to be too attached to your own ideas. When you control your emotions, you’ll find others are far more willing to listen. You need your man to calm your nerves.

AQUARIUS
Your generosity to your friends and to yourself means you are probably spending far too much. It’s vital you prioritise your purchases otherwise you could find yourself in financial trouble.

PISCES
You ooze charm today which will get you far, but you do need to back your ideas with common sense, otherwise your dreams will remain just that. Your acute intuition will tell you what to do next. If you aren’t totally in tune with your man, you might as well move on.

ARIES
There could easily be OTT passion and intensity, making you want to run away from your own love life. Is it as bad as you fear? This might not be the time for defiance, but for controlling your impulses and emotions. Bonus - there is great financial luck coming your way today.

TAURUS
You might be after love and romance, but Venus is suggesting that keeping things at the friendship level and letting everything else develop slowly might be more beneficial in the long-term.

Venus has just moved into Pisces, and your use of flattery and charm, coupled with your sense of humour, is very persuasive - especially when talking to your neighbours, siblings and people you come into contact with every day. Make love an art form.

AQUARIUS
Are you about to hit the January sales? If you want luxury items or a good piece of art, now is the time to buy. Spend money on yourself and your appearance, as well as making your personal environment more attractive. In love, passion rules.

PISCES
With Venus moving into your sign, your sense of humour will make a big difference to your life. You also seem more charming and willing to co-operate with everyone, but you are definitely not a doormat. Luck is with you, but you probably won't be winning the lottery. Love-wise, don’t let Saturn dampen your passion.

ARIES
Your love life seems to have moved into a fantasy zone while you waste time feeling too fat, too thin, or just having a bad hair day. Or is it just that your latest lover has to be kept as a secret? Ask yourself whether this is wise. Someone from your past could be in contact which could be fun. Don’t listen to flattery.

TAURUS
What is your role in the lives of your friends, your colleagues or even in your family? It's time to promote harmony, and make sure everyone gets along with each other. Group activities could be fun and help you make new friends. Singles, it’s time for romance.

When it comes to love and sex, do you have time?

CANCER
As Venus moves into Pisces your interests in cultural pursuits, religion and politics take on a distinctly social feel. You seem more light-hearted, and you could easily find romance with someone who shares these interests or who has a fascinatingly different cultural background.

LEO

With Mars in Virgo and Venus moving into Pisces, you are more interested in people who share your values. You could enter a partnership (business or marriage) which could be highly successful, and your income should improve. Use your charms if he plays hard-to-get.

VIRGO
At work the emphasis is on contracts, negotiations and achieving common goals which, at the moment, should be quite easy as Jupiter is on your side, and you have the help and co-operation of all your colleagues and associates. In love, put the emphasis on his happiness rather than on your own.

LIBRA

As Venus, your personal planet, moves into Pisces you need a working environment which is pleasant, friendly and harmonious, and it is up to you to promote these feelings so you can do your best work. Flowers or a plant will make your workspace more to your taste, too. In love, eroticism wins.

SCORPIO
You need a change in the form of a holiday, an adventure or a new romance (or preferably all three). Don’t miss out on any social activities or invitations, but avoid too much indulgence or extravagance. Your creative abilities enhance your work. In love, is loyalty missing?

SAGITTARIUS
Your enjoyment will come from your home and family now that Venus has moved into Pisces. Decorating or renovating will be to your taste, and improve the quality of your life. Property negotiations go well too, whether you're buying, selling or renting. You need a deep and profound relationship – does he fit the bill?

AQUARIUS
The Moon opposes your personal planet, Uranus, making you even more wilful and freedom- loving than usual. This could cause a few problems in your life as not everyone will want to go along with your ideas and need for instant action. At least in bed there are no hang-ups.

VIRGO
Your creative talents are the focus, and it’s time to take initiative, be self-motivated and use your artistic ideas to make money. This is a great time to negotiate favourable terms in a business agreement or contract, but you need the freedom to make decisions. Love-wise, do you want more than friendship?

LIBRA
You need some time on your own to think various things through before making a decision. Property negotiations are going well, but don’t be persuaded to rush into a contract. Love-wise, there is a lot of romance as well as passion, but it seems you have to make the decisions here as well.

SCORPIO
Are there feelings of envy or jealousy about someone close? Okay, someone might have more money, be slimmer, taller and have bigger boobs, but does she have your magnetic, transformative power? Your passion and excitement are out in full force today.

SAGITTARIUS
Today is all about earning money, taking your career up a few notches and using your persuasive powers when talking to your boss, colleagues or business associates. Everyone is willing to help you up the success ladder; just use your good judgment and diplomacy. In love, there is no limit.

It is time for you to realise that in order to take and keep your inner power, you need to help others without the thought of personal gain.

PISCES
Your happiness comes through others, especially the role you take in the lives of your friends, your colleagues and as a member of a club or some other organization. Rather than trying to be either in control or retreat from responsibility, just be yourself. Love is unpredictable but exciting today.

ARIES
Rather than let others make decisions for you, it's time to make things happen for yourself. You will be in the public eye, like it or not. Luckily, you thrive on stress and on the power and influence you have. Just remember that friends can become enemies if you are too self-centred. Give your man his space.

CANCER
It's hard for you to be brutally honest, but this is what is needed both for yourself and for your partner.

This can be quite healing if you are both open.

LEO
Your healing and helping abilities are needed when you talk to your colleagues, especially if you feel there is a power struggle going on. Your responsibilities could well increase at this time. The more willing you are to take on extra work, the better you’ll get on. In love, don’t let jealousy come between you.

VIRGO

LIBRA
Where do you fit in within your family? If you need to strengthen your position, now is the time.

Exciting changes are happening, either in your home life or to do with a close relationship. You might decide to move in with your lover or back with your family. Purchasing or renting your own home is your next move. You are a strong woman, and usually quite careful.

AQUARIUS
Keep your need for power and control secret, especially if it involves a promotion or the decision to resign from your job. One of the ways of coping with changing circumstances is to help others, especially your favourite charity. Compassion is the key, and love is passionate.

PISCES
You need to take a greater role in business organizations, your local social or sports club or simply organizing a social event at home. You won’t want to be manipulated by others, though, so make sure it's what you want. Whatever role you choose, it will help you rise up the corporate ladder. There's not much time for love.

ARIES
Both your home life and your career prospects are undergoing some upheaval during this transit of Pluto, and it's exciting, challenging and a little scary. If a family member is coming to stay, or you decide to move home or job, talk to your man – he might have just the right advice.

TAURUS
Talk about knowledge being power! If you have the willingness to pursue further education or advanced training, the opportunities will be limitless. A negative potential of the Pluto opposition is that you’ll use the knowledge to gain some sort of underhanded control. In love, do you let your true feelings show?

GEMINI
Use your sense of humour to encourage your man to share in some wonderfully light-hearted lovemaking. You might lose some jointly owned assets, but your resourcefulness, skills and talent bring you even more personal power. It is important, though, that you pay your debts.

CANCER
You need to be totally honest about what you want and need from your man, your business partners and everyone else - it’s an all-or-nothing scenario. One of you could undergo a traumatic event which will either make the alliance stronger, or you could decide to break it off altogether. In love, try not to be too controlling.

LEO
Your attitude towards your work and your responsibilities is more serious than usual, so be ready for some unexpected changes. Service to others is starred, and teaching or guiding your colleagues is a possibility. Look after your body – a healthy diet and exercise plan is essential. In love, are you too forceful today?

VIRGO
If you're involved in creative pursuits, you will find you need a far deeper understanding of what you are doing, and you'll have to make a greater effort if you are to develop your real true potential. You are quite intense about your love life. Don’t let jealousy be a barrier.

LIBRA
A family problem, such as an older family member experiencing a difficulty, could be disrupting your usual calm. Your strength and perseverance will be needed in order to keep the peace and solve the problems. You will become far stronger in the end. Love is stimulating.

SCORPIO
Your ideas and self-expression are becoming more intense and serious, and you want total control of your environment. In order to deal with everything, you’ll want more computer and design skills. A dramatic event in your neighbourhood could impact your life. In love, you demand everything your way.

SAGITTARIUS
Life is all about conserving and investing in the future. If you use money or your possessions as a way of manipulating people to do what you want, you could find yourself in trouble. It’s difficult to avoid materialism – the trick is to not let possessions control you. Love is all about glamour.

It's time to forgive and forget old wounds and hurts – phone, e-mail or pay a visit. Do whatever it takes to mend broken bridges. Listen to the troubles and problems that others have and use your insights and understanding without being judgmental. Relationships have style, but is there love?

AQUARIUS
There are new ways of becoming financially independent, but it would be wise to keep your ideas to yourself for the moment. You know intuitively what is best, but others might not agree as your ideas can be quite radical. Sex-wise, it's all about being big, bold and very passionate.

PISCES

Group association meetings and discussions will go very well as you are more sensitive to the needs of others, and have included them in your latest plans. Your ideas for making money are quite experimental, so don’t expect everyone to agree. Your time alone with your man will be quite enlightening.

ARIES
This is a good time to ask for a rise or a promotion as your career prospects look very favourable. Colleagues could need your understanding and unique way of looking at situations, especially as you is unusually sensitive to their problems. In love, let warm romance rule.

TAURUS
Opportunities are there for travelling, maybe with a group of friends or colleagues or perhaps to an international trade fair or meeting. You are open to new insights. Is this the time to start new, advanced training? Would learning a foreign language help your career? Love is very tactile.

GEMINI
Your resourcefulness is even more acute today, especially when you tune in to your intuition. Any career setbacks are easily overcome, and you go from strength to strength. A loan could be approved or you could be given a financial boost. Don’t let a playful argument degenerate into a real fight.

CANCER
Joint ventures are extremely well starred, and you can negotiate very favourable terms when you use your insights in a practical way. You could be asked to teach or give advice, or perhaps study a foreign language. Talking of teaching, you can certainly tell your man a thing or two.

LEO
Love-wise, it could be an overly emotional day with a few battles which could turn nasty if you aren’t careful, especially if you feel sexually inadequate or confused. The good news is that you are able to tune in to your healing abilities. Try not to be too direct – use your considerable charm instead.

VIRGO
No matter how hard-hearted you think you are, you become really upset and traumatized when your relationships end or you become separated from your loved ones. You’ll have to think up creative ways of showing your man what you really feel. Don’t become jealous of his previous relationships.

LIBRA
Your sensitivity is obvious when you talk to the less privileged or the disabled, but this could stimulate your own dread of being ill, or bring up body insecurities. Stop worrying, and take control. Your man probably loves you just the way you are.

SCORPIO
If you've been let down by one of the men in your life, don’t let it destroy your self- confidence – not everyone is right for you. Rather than be hurt, be glad he’s moved away so that you can move on to a better, more exciting and worthwhile relationship. Career matters take up your time. Don’t waste time on trivia.

SAGITTARIUS
Your relationship with your father is important. Is it time to phone or visit him, or just give you time for a chat together? If you live away from your parent’s home, this might be a good time to visit. Your love life seems even more glamorous – or are you just on a retail therapy mission?

The focus is on your relationships, and a love affair rises to another level of commitment. Is marriage a possibility, or are you ready to move on? Your judgement is good so you’ll make the right decision. The same goes for a business partnership and your work.

AQUARIUS
You are being warned about bad habits like smoking, designer drugs and excess alcohol. The stars say it is time to shape up if you want your skin to look good, and to ensure you have a fit, healthy body. Follow a healthy diet and exercise. This includes energetic sex as well as workouts at the gym.

PISCES
It's no use feeling confused and uncertain. You need to get on with your creative projects. Your life is a blank canvas waiting for an exciting painting full of colour, so make the most of all the opportunities opening to you. A new romance accompanies amazing physical attraction.

ARIES
Balance is needed, so be sure to give equal value to your career, your social life and your favourite man. Something is coming to completion – it could be a project at home, or a property deal being finalized. In love, the word 'physical' rules.

TAURUS

Everything to do with communication is the key today, including your computer, your car and your cell phone. You can easily end conflict with one of your siblings or a neighbour as your charm works over-time. You might have to give a talk or go on a short business trip. Love is far better than you imagined.

GEMINI
Are you in control of your finances? It is no use relying on others. Take the time to investigate all investment opportunities and which financial institution is offering the best returns with the least risk. You could receive a new job offer – think carefully. In love, it's time to be nurturing…

CANCER
It is decision time. It might be something very trivial, but it could also be a life-changing decision that has to be made. Everything will be fine as long as you’ve considered all the aspects and the options before coming to a conclusion. Your bedroom, with or without your man, is your place of safety.

LEO
Give yourself time to rest and think. If you rush on, it could end in self-destruction. Don’t feel sorry for yourself or try to hide your problems – it’s time to face them. You can easily do what’s right for you. If you don't, your health will suffer and you'll experience tension and stress. You need tender, nurturing love.

VIRGO
Business associates, colleagues, business groups and friends should be your focus. You probably need to take on a more responsible role, and finish various projects you've started. Then you’ll start to see your hopes and dreams coming true. Love is most fulfilling when you just go with the flow.

LIBRA
You are in the public eye with your career and personal reputation on the line, so it is vital that you avoid clashes and arguments with anyone in authority as well as your parents. Clarity will come regarding your career, and you could decide to move on. Romance rules.

SCORPIO
You seem very restless today, and you check out your options for working abroad or booking your next holiday. You need a new adventure to give your life some impetus, and to re-charge those batteries. You could question your usual belief system, and investigate different religions. Love is erotic and nurturing.

SAGITTARIUS
Is sex a little too unpredictable? You seem more intense than usual, and you're focussed on joint finances, investments and whether or not your man shares your views and set of ethics. You might become a bit too demanding and critical. Lighten up a bit. Sex is still good, so don’t worry.

As Mercury moves into your own sign of Capricorn you become more self-centred. Share your knowledge and information, and research and learn anything new and interesting. You probably become a bit nervous and anxious – don’t worry, everyone is impressed. Love seems more comfortable than exciting.

AQUARIUS
Especially in matters to do with your work, it's important you keep your ideas and information to yourself. Someone could easily challenge your views – be prepared to stick up for yourself, but don’t become too intense or passionate about it. Love-wise, you might be getting serious, but is he?

PISCES
Your imagination is taking you into totally new territory, and as you convey your ideas to your colleagues and business associates this coming week, they become equally inspired. Just don’t go OTT. Today, think about what would make you really happy. Love-wise, your moods might put him off.

ARIES
Mercury is moving into Capricorn, so the emphasis is on both your family and your career. Think logically, and concentrate all your attention on what you really want. There could be good news. Love-wise, you need a man who is equally as ambitious as you but who will give you all the support you need.

TAURUS
You will be in contact with someone from a different culture or country; someone who could have a huge influence on your future. Don’t limit yourself – let your imagination go wild. Any plans to travel or work abroad work well, and advanced training could really help your career. He has to be friend and a lover.

GEMINI
Joint income, looking after someone’s else’s money, the payment of taxes and insurances and getting your investments on a better footing are some of the activities that will take up your time these next few weeks – logical thinking is needed. Your charisma inspires spontaneous sex.

CANCER
With Mercury moving into Capricorn, all partnerships will be given a boost, both business and love… Just avoid being overly suspicious or too self-protective. Moodiness is a turn-off. It will be easier than usual to negotiate favourable contracts, and you’ll win any discussion or debate.

LEO
Job-seekers, you could hear some good news over the next couple of weeks. It is time to get your work space more organized – plan ahead rather than wait to the last minute. Love-wise, you are far more imaginative, and tender nurturing helps, too. Your sense of humour will help keep it all light.

VIRGO

This is a really time to travel with your romantic partner, though business trips are well- starred too as business transactions will be finalized quickly and easily. Just make sure all your facts and figures are accurate. Friendship rules your love life, but that doesn’t mean less great sex.

LIBRA
Property dealings are important for most Librans over the next few weeks – negotiations, contracts and lease agreements all work in your favour. A member of your family might purchase a car; discuss and help where you can as your logic is needed. Romance is highlighted, so let your imagination run free.

SCORPIO

Your time could be taken up with meetings and business projects for both your work and neighbourhood activities. You might have to purchase a new car or computer and other communication devices. Research first, and get as much information as possible. In love, follow your vision.

SAGITTARIUS
Finances are the focus today, especially if you are trying to balance the books after the Festive season. The sales might be on, but what is the state of your credit card? Check your invoices and statements very carefully – errors could be in your favour. Love has to be fantastic, or you won't waste your energy.

7 January 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/7-january-2012 CAPRICORN
Your nurturing qualities are much stronger than usual, and you give help to anyone who needs it. You also want your man to mother you. Why not, especially if he is your soul mate? This is a really good time to be in touch with your parents – more than anyone, they’ll help ease your worries.

AQUARIUS
Feeling restless today? You are tuning in to all the emotional influences of everyone around you, which is not comfortable for airy Aquarius. Love-wise, if you let yourself go, you might even find yourself getting serious though there will be issues to be faced first. Discuss work problems with colleagues rather than going it alone.

PISCES

Moodiness is the name of the game today, but the pursuit of love is more exciting than anything else. Your imagination takes you into the future, but is it reality or just fantasy? Both have their place. Friends will give you the support and fun you crave, so don’t ignore even last-minute invitations.

ARIES

Is there a difference between being selfish and being self-centred? Be aware of the feelings of others – you don’t want to hurt anyone, but sometimes you do. The good news is that you are so colourful that your dramas make everyone else’s life more interesting. Sex is exciting.

TAURUS
Jupiter brings good luck – but do you need it? Your creative imagination, and your ability to keep your boss and colleagues on your side because of your willingness to work hard, brings great success, so this really is a banner time. Your 'earth mother' mode lifts your relationship to a different level.

GEMINI
You are unusually moody and sensitive, reacting to the slightest remark, especially over money issues. Concentrate on intellectual and cultural pursuits with social events to keep you feeling light-hearted – otherwise you could sink into a mire of emotional tears. His nurturing will help you snap out of it.

CANCER

It might be moody, but what a great sexual connection. Even if you think you could live on love and passion alone, your dash of realism makes you very aware of the necessity for shared finances, common values and a need to use your shrewdness to make your own way in life.

LEO
Let your sense of humour have free rein today so that you don’t become too heavy and intense – especially if financial matters are making you over-react. You are still worrying about your work, but it's the weekend, so forget about it for a couple of days. Love-wise, you need tender nurturing today.

VIRGO
Having a man in your life who is your best friend as well as your lover is vital, and you know that together your life will flow. Then, of course, your sex life goes up many notches. Take time out today to socialize, meet up with friends and enjoy a new romance.

LIBRA
You have the amazing ability to adapt to most situations – so much so that no-one knows exactly where you stand. This means you are very popular, and that your social life full of opportunities to meet that perfect man. Try not to overreact or lose your cool – you could put him off altogether.

SCORPIO
You are under a lot of emotional pressure, and seem to be lacking a certain amount of logic in your arguments. Not that this matters to you as it is all about emotion rather than cold fact. Colleagues, business associates and even your close friends might not understand. Sex? Now there is a surprise...

SAGITTARIUS
Far more unpredictable than usual, you may not be thinking or seeing things very clearly. If this is the case, you'll just want to give up and move on. It's important that you concentrate on finishing the project – unless you’ve really found it not to be worthwhile. The same goes for your love life which is an emotional struggle, but which could be fantastic.

6 January 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/6-january-2012 CAPRICORN
You are focussed on your work, and you should now get the financial rewards you deserve – your career is on the up-swing. However, there could be additional responsibilities and you may need specialized training. Love-wise, you share the same values, but you would secretly love to have more excitement.

AQUARIUS
Making new friends, especially people who have a different culture and philosophy or who have travelled abroad, will stimulate your creative juices. You want more out of your life. Socializing is fun, but broadening your creative vision is exciting. Being a free spirit is exciting, but what about the long-term?

PISCES
It’s time to use whatever skills and abilities you possess so that you become financially independent. Focus, use your intuition and imagination and then talk seriously to the people who matter. Love-wise, remind him just how special you are. Have a cuddle even if you’re not in the mood for sex.

ARIES
You and your man seem to be able to agree on most things, and it is easy to discuss shared values and opinions which makes your love life and business relationships very much easier. Contracts and other legal matters will all be much easier to deal with, with happier outcomes. His infatuation with you spices up your love life.

TAURUS
Your daily responsibilities at work seem to be increasing, and you’ll have to use your imagination to ensure they don’t just become tedious and boring. The good news is that, by using your charm, you can negotiate an increase in salary. You enjoy a very healthy sex life, and retail therapy calls.

GEMINI
Today is all about the pursuit of pleasure. Love-wise, you like the idea of a long-lasting love affair and a stable home life, but the idea of emotional commitment as part of the deal is not so attractive. Just make sure you don’t promise more than you are willing to give. Your imagination is running wild…

CANCER
Your home life is bringing you more warmth and support than you’d imagined or hoped, though in the long-term you mind find all the added responsibilities quite restricting. Aim for balance. As long as you have a quiet room or space where you can recharge those inner batteries, you’ll be fine. In love, the more spontaneous, the better.

LEO
At work you’ll be able to talk and discuss your ideas very seriously, especially if your vision is both creative and practical. These ideas could make money both for you and your business – perhaps it's time to take a bit of a risk. Your competitive spirit makes your love life a very sexy battle ground.

VIRGO
You are being asked to decide what's important to you – your career, your finances or your creative spirit? When you can happily mix them all with love and romance, you’ll be a really happy, well rounded woman. It's time to go after what you want. Love is fickle, but fun.

LIBRA
Now is the time to get your body, your personal appearance and self image just as you want it to be. Discuss a make-over with your hairdresser. Don’t forget to have a medical and dental check, then focus on your personal goals. Love is creative, free and easy – what more can you ask for?

SCORPIO
Working on creative projects at home is creative and invigorating, but could be very costly to the bank balance. Face your fears and worries rather than becoming full of self-pity. You will be rewarded for your hard work and gain inner strength, too. Love is pressurized, but hard to resist.

SAGITTARIUS
What makes you happy? The role you play in the lives of your friends, or is it your career? Use your imagination to take your life towards your goals. Jupiter is smiling on your work – job seekers have great luck. Your love life is tactile, flirtatious and fun.

5 January 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/5-january-2012 CAPRICORN
There could be a very welcome change in your living arrangements – anything from someone coming to stay to moving home or redecorating. It will take a bit of work, though, so be prepared. Even when you're very busy, it’s necessary to remember your usual daily routine and chores. Love-wise it’s great fun, but you are the boss!

AQUARIUS
You aren’t in the mood for too much routine – the more creative and exciting your day, the better, especially if directed at a new project. Love-wise, you could easily break off with your partner for no apparent reason except that you're a bit bored. You need to be a free spirit today.

PISCES
You can be quite manipulative when you feel like it, especially with friends, family and at work. You usually come out on top, but not always. Your finances look a bit unpredictable today, but you’ll soon be able to find ways of making up any loss. If you lack self-confidence you’ll miss out on fantastic sex.

ARIES
You know you are totally unique, and today you want to tell everyone just what you are about. Freedom to be yourself is increasingly important, and you want to follow your new ideas to boost your career. Love-wise, you are in the mood for experimenting in a light- hearted, uninhibited way.

TAURUS
An unexpected, but in the end very favourable, event could happen which makes you think about your personal independence. You have some great new ideas for making money which need to be thought about, too. Your love life is more exciting than it has been – almost a whirlwind of romance and adventure.

GEMINI
You enjoy being free to do whatever you want, expressing yourself in your own, unique way and making friends with new people. You’ve probably moved away from old friends and family, and you may have to be content with a smaller group. You aren’t too sure about commitment – you need excitement.

CANCER
If you feel you aren’t totally in charge of your life, remember you can’t control all the outside influences. Relax, and go with the flow. Your family supply the emotional warmth, so let them know just how much you feel. Your man needs your support - in return for amazing sexual tricks.

LEO
You could feel a bit bored and restricted. It’s time to plan your next holiday or find a way of broadening your knowledge and meeting new people. You and your man have a lot in common, especially if he supports your need for retail therapy... Sexually today you can
expect total bliss.

VIRGO
You are in the public eye today, but probably feel it isn’t exactly what you’d hoped for or planned. You know you have to be more financially independent, but may not be sure how to go about it. Just be yourself, and go with your ideas. Let your man take your mind off problems with exotic sex.

LIBRA

Adaptability is your strong point. Use your clever mind and your friendly attitude, and you just can’t go wrong. The more you are seen to cooperate, the easier your life will be today. The last thing you need today is drama in your love life. Your sense of humour really helps here.

SCORPIO
Flying pheromones, lust and fun – but will it last? The sexual attraction might stay, but you probably aren’t sure of what or who you want at the moment. Your health is good, but a new, unorthodox approach attracts. Be careful and check it out carefully. You need rest and healthy food to get you through.

SAGITTARIUS
Love, romance, great sex and a busy social scene with some added adventure will really make your life zing... But, there are bills to be paid, so you’d better direct some of your ideas towards your work and financial ambitions. Singles, you could meet someone quite unorthodox and unusual.

3 January 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/3-january-2012 CAPRICORN
Your creative spirit lightens your life and you move on with huge self-confidence, enjoying every challenge that comes your way. Don’t lose your cool if there is a minor setback. Your popularity is rising, and there could be a new love interest, too. Sex-wise, it is up to you to tell him exactly what you want and need so you’re not disappointed.

AQUARIUS
Everything you do, especially new projects including anything to do with property, will be successful. It's best if you don’t talk to too many people about your ideas at this stage – investigate and research first. Your colleagues are only too pleased to help and cooperate with you. You need your man to be practical and earthy today.

PISCES
Today you are able to help a friend or someone who really needs your love and healing with your special way of comforting. Just make sure you stand back a little and don’t drown in your own emotions. Business meetings are highly successful, as long as you avoid direct confrontation. In love, it's fantasy time.

ARIES
Your love life, as well as your business relationships, is being lit by Jupiter and the Moon, bringing bags of self-confidence and optimism. You feel there is nothing you can’t achieve, so go for it. Your finances look particularly good today which is a welcome relief. Mars brings energy but also headaches if you overdo it.

TAURUS
The Moon suggests that a love life of emotional, comforting sex is what you need for the next few days. If this isn’t available, some intense retail therapy will have to suffice. Try not to exaggerate your status in order to impress. Socialise, but don’t over-indulge - you most likely need to detox to get over the festive season indulgences.

GEMINI
Some quiet time is needed in order to get over a very busy Christmas season. If you are given a raise in salary or a promotion, don’t brag or talk about it at the moment. A member of your family or a close friend probably needs your help and support, so be generous with your time and money. Love-wise, you are far more sensitive to his needs.

CANCER
Carry on as usual – even if you feel you aren’t achieving much, you’ll soon start to see the good results. Friends and colleagues are a great source of comfort and support, but you need your freedom, too. Love-wise, trust and sharing are the way forward, but you need something or someone to lighten your spirits.

LEO
You are in the public eye, and your career is on the up-swing. Your optimism is inspiring to everyone around you too, and you feel like you’re finally achieving your ambitions. Someone with influence is there to help you, so go for whatever you want now. Love-wise, are you too inflexible to really give in to your emotions?

VIRGO
You’d probably like your present romance to become more committed, especially if you share the same philosophical and emotional approach as well as the same dreams. Don’t let nerves and worrying become a problem – luck is with you now. Your energy is inspiring, but don’t be too competitive.

LIBRA
You have the opportunity to make money from your creative talents. Follow your vision, maybe in partnership rather than on your own. It could bring in more money. Just believe in it and it will happen. Your love life is sumptuous, sensual and probably excessive. It may not last, but what a ride!

SCORPIO
This isn’t the time to be alone or out of touch with everyone – other people will help you succeed. It will help if you can give in occasionally instead of always being in charge of every situation. Love-wise, passion rules as long as he isn’t too submissive.

SAGITTARIUS

You might want a lot of attention from your man, but is he willing to give it to you? Think carefully about commitment if there are too many differences (you like freedom and adventure – what does he want?). Keep on top of your work, and don’t take it for granted in these hard economic times.

4 January 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/4-january-2012 CAPRICORN
Duty and honour are excellent qualities, but when you add your instinctive flair for knowing exactly what everyone wants, you’ll really achieve. You could feel restless and decide to take your career in a new direction – think creatively as it’s a big world, full of opportunities… Love could be the real thing.

AQUARIUS
Your home and property are important issues, but lighten up if you feel you are being a bit too intense. The question of money and shared resources comes up again, and you might have to collect money owed as well as pay an unexpected bill. You need your man to listen to what you have to say (a lot).

PISCES
You’ll achieve far more with the help of your partner or colleagues than you will on your own. You have bags of enthusiasm and energy, but still need their inspiration to really get you going. You would quite like some quiet time alone, but this probably won’t happen. Your partner won’t let this happen tonight, either.

ARIES
Your energy levels are even higher than usual, and you become even more competitive – just don’t become aggressive. Excess energy can be used up with vigorous exercise, either at the gym or in wild lovemaking. Finances look good as Lady Luck is still smiling on you.

TAURUS
Everything today is encouraging you to indulge in the things that give you pleasure, and your creative juices are flowing at work and in your social life. Your love life isn’t far behind – you just want romance and fun rather than heavy emotions. Career-wise, you seem a bit confused, but it will sort itself out in a few days.

GEMINI
Inviting family and friends home and doing things together as a group, as well as getting to grips with decorating and renovating your home, are the issues that fill you with enthusiasm today. If you’ve recently moved, it's a good time to sort out boxes and ensure that your home suits you. There is not much time for love.

CANCER
Take the lead in all neighbourhood and community projects and events. You have so many ideas, though, that you can’t decide what to do next. Gather friends and colleagues together. Meetings will be highly successful at work, too. Your love life is passionate, but can you handle all this emotion? As long as he is a friend too, it’s fine.

LEO
Your focus is on making money today through your career, and the prognosis couldn’t look better. It's important to get all your papers sorted and bills paid so that you have a clean sheet. At work, you easily meet your deadlines. Retail therapy is called for. Love-wise, you need your buzzing libido to be satisfying.

VIRGO
If you're feeling a bit impatient and restless, search the net to see what opportunities there are overseas. Stay with friends, travel around and be adventurous. You might decide to work abroad, too, and there could be great openings coming up. Don’t sit back – act! Love is powerful, which might be the reason you are still here.

LIBRA
Someone from your past could reappear – is he welcome? It could bring back memories which need to be sorted. Someone close may have to go into hospital or need your assistance. Being involved in charity work is very rewarding, too. Your love life is highly sensual – just how you like it.

SCORPIO
Friends will give you the help and support you need, especially when choosing between love and friendship. Your sex life is more of an addiction than just lovemaking – exhilarating, but quite exhausting. Don’t forget that there are meetings and work to get through, too. Finances look good – is it time to sort out your investments?

SAGITTARIUS
You need everyone, especially your favourite man, to look at you, admire you and tell you just how wonderful you are. As long as you believe in yourself and in everything you do, you’ll succeed - probably more than you could ever imagine. In love and sex, you are insatiable.

2 January 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/2-january-2012 CAPRICORN
Today you have far more optimism about the future, especially regarding your home. You're prepared to take a risk, especially in love and romance, as you take a step further into commitment. You will be accused of being too impulsive – let your intuition guide you. Just remember that love is sharing, not domination.

AQUARIUS
The Moon and Mercury are both encouraging you to tell your family exactly what they mean to you. Your generosity will be noticed, and this is a good time to socialize with your colleagues. It could help your career aspirations, especially if you use some of your big ideas. In Lovemaking, eroticism rules.

PISCES
You gain the respect of your friends with your great advice and help. There are still a lot of social events going on and you are ready to join in everything offered - just remember that you do need a quiet space where you can recharge your batteries. Usually quite demure, today you want to be swept off your feet. Will he join in?

ARIES
Take charge of your finances – you know exactly what is right for you, and won’t accept any interference. However, being too impulsive can work against you, so investigate all possibilities before committing to anything. Being a bit wilful, you seem out of reach – but someone is waiting to turn friendship into love.

TAURUS
It is all about having fun today, but do watch that you don’t over-indulge as this can be disastrous for your health. Not only that, but everyone is watching you and noticing what you do – especially the very people who can help you up the corporate ladder. Romance could blossom into a relationship.

GEMINI
Your love life looks like fun, but you could make a decision too quickly and then regret it. Slow down, and take time out to consider what you really want. Ask yourself if you share the same values and ideas, and whether your family get on with him. If not, why not? Also, you need someone who understands your sexual games.

CANCER

You’d be quite happy to concentrate on your love and sex life as it really is quite healing, but the Universe demands that some of your attention is directed towards your career, as the time is right to make good contacts and to discuss the future. It is vital you don’t get drawn into an argument or that you lose your cool.

LEO
A relationship at or through your work could be very tempting as your self-confidence just oozes sex appeal. But you seem a bit restless – perhaps it’s time to detach yourself a bit and plan a trip overseas or even work abroad for a while. Mars says to plan very carefully as unwise behaviour could result in money loss.

VIRGO
It’s time to plan your holidays, have fun and adventure, take a risk and do something that is out of your usual comfort zone. Saturn warns you not to over-spend, and you’ll have to stick to your own beliefs and values without losing your cool or getting involved in an argument. In love, more romantic opportunities arise than you could imagine.

LIBRA
Love conquers everything, but how much of this romance is real and how much is in your imagination? Go with the fantasy – energy follows thought so whatever you dream could easily become reality, especially as Jupiter says you’ll both prosper. It's important that he shares your need for the finer things in life.

SCORPIO
Love and business partnerships are well starred as contracts and negotiations go well and you should see positive financial rewards. A friendship is turning into something much deeper, and you enjoy a healthy and active sex life. Someone suggests an unorthodox health method which resonates with your beliefs. Be careful, though.

SAGITTARIUS
You are ready to help all your friends, but you need to make a steady commitment to one particular person rather than scattering your energies to everyone. Your daily responsibilities could be increasing, and you may need further training in order to cope. He knows exactly where he stands – even when you’re in a jealous rage.

1 January 2012 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/1-january-2012 CAPRICORN
A few problems with mechanical breakdowns or travel delays will leave you feeling stressed, but try not to take your anger out on your family. Let your friendly nature show through, relax and let yourself go. Great sex is a wonder cure.

AQUARIUS
Your stress will come from a lack of information or from being disorganized, making it hard for you to get on with whatever project you're working on. Don’t overreact; be as cooperative and agreeable as you can be. Playful sex is what you need to take your mind off your problems.

PISCES
Feeling uncertain about your financial future? The only consolation is that so is everyone else in this economic climate. The trick is not to act without thought, but to stay positive and get as much information and advice as you can. You need gentle, tender lovemaking – tell him.

ARIES
The Moon in your sign in hard aspect to Pluto and Mercury is square to your personal planet, Mars, so it is no wonder you feel tense and irritated if anything stops you achieving what you want. A sexy pretend-fight will help satisfy your libido and calm those nerves.

TAURUS
No matter what stresses are thrown at you today, the Moon in good aspect to your personal planet, Venus, encourages you to show affection and nurturing, and a willingness to co-operate with colleagues. In love, you don’t want to miss out on anything.

GEMINI
Impulsiveness will lead to arguments with your partner or family. It won’t help bringing your friends or colleagues into the argument as they’d probably just make it worse, but socializing with them will help take your mind off your problems. In love, there are no inhibitions.

CANCER
Your focus today is on your work and career; just try not to overreact even if there is a computer or internet failure. Sort it out as calmly as you can. It's best that you ensure your car is in good working condition, too, as you don’t want to be delayed. Love is dangerous.

LEO
Venus is encouraging love, romance and exhilarating sex, so why the angst? Try not to over- react regarding your finances, even if you might think you aren’t being paid enough for your creative talents. Cooperation will take you further.

VIRGO
Your personal planet, Mercury, is making you impatient and restless as it interacts with Mars, so it isn’t a good time to get into an argument, especially over money. It's far better to cooperate so that you can come to a mutually acceptable agreement. In love, just follow your instincts…

LIBRA
Wild, erotic sex will help calm any tension caused by your overreaction. What a way to solve problems! Your loving affection is just what everyone needs – especially your family. Meetings may have to be delayed because you need time alone to develop your ideas.

SCORPIO
An inner conflict between spending money on socializing with friends and your need to save makes life difficult. This conflict makes you work even harder, and you make a welcome breakthrough. In the meantime, don’t argue with colleagues. Sex is exhausting for both of you... just as you like it.

SAGITTARIUS
You probably aren’t in the mood to answer questions about your career – but if you do, you’ll be able to muster the right amount of cooperation and nurturing to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement. Love-wise, you need a health freak to keep up with your needs.

It’s time to think about a new start. Your partner might be suggesting that your love will grow, but only if you become softer and less critical. What do you want? Try not to over-react. At least the sex is great.

AQUARIUS
It's New Years Eve, and the opportunities are there for socializing, parties and being with friends and family. Try to rest a bit during the day and give yourself some private time as being over-tired could lead to a bit of self-pity. Love is more fun than passionate.

PISCES
Socialize tonight with friends as well as colleagues and business associates. You could also make a useful contact, and meet that perfect man who sweeps you off your feet – but will it last? Don’t rush into a commitment.

ARIES
You want to do everything your way. You have the ideas and won’t accept interference from anyone, much less your well-meaning friends or partner. That’s fine, and you’ll achieve everything you set out to do, while still having the energy to party.

TAURUS

You are quite a powerful personality when you want to be, and it's time for you and your man to be out there and to be seen in all the right places. If you feel you aren’t looking your best, you are quite happy to stay at home with your man, indulging in some earthy lovemaking.

GEMINI
Meeting a new man could make you more than usually impulsive which but could lead to an argument. Keep an eye on your transport, and ensure your car has petrol, oil and is in good condition. Don’t take chances. In love, there are no inhibitions.

CANCER
An argument at or about work could make you feel a bit nervous, but this isn’t the day to worry. It's the start of a new year, so relax and have fun. Friends, cultural and social events will calm you and your man will provide the love and excitement.

LEO
Love is warm and romantic, and you are ready to party. Don’t let an argument over how much you’ve spent mar the evening or the start of the New Year. If you’ve managed to get away for the weekend, so much the better. A new love interest could be there for single Leos.

VIRGO
You’ve probably been working too hard, and although there are social events and parties ready, you just might prefer to spend the evening at home, having an early night. If this is with your favourite man, a bottle of champagne and comfortable bed might be just what you need.

LIBRA
You don’t need to go far to socialize tonight – a party in your neighbourhood or at home will be everything you need. You appreciate the finer things of life, so make sure you have loads of champagne and your favourite wine. Love is everything you want.

SCORPIO
Give yourself time for a beauty treatment today so that you aren’t tired and stressed out by tonight. Glamour is essential. Even if driving round your own neighbourhood rather than travelling far, be careful and don’t drink and drive.

SAGITTARIUS
Love, romance, and socializing – you can have it all this weekend. Your sense of humour, with a dash of charm and flattery, will make you the most popular person there. Pop into your neighbours, visit your siblings and socialize where you live, but avoid accidents on the road – alcohol is a no-no for drivers.

Tomorrow night will probably be a late one, so give yourself a break from friends and have an early night. Otherwise you’ll just feel tired, sick and ready to blow your top at the slightest disagreement. Don’t let jealousy affect your love life.

AQUARIUS
You feel prettier and more feminine than usual, ready to let your man protect and take care of you... but is this the real you? You need to trust him enough to be able to show your inner self. Don’t work or play too hard tonight. Instead, reserve your energy for the New Year bash.

PISCES
Your own goals are the dominating force today, and it's about time, too. Let your personality shine through. It's time to look at your body, your fitness levels and your general appearance. Be aware of your power and magnetism over others, and let your love life be an emotional commitment.

ARIES
If you are doing too much it could end in headaches or a fever as well as becoming over-tired, getting angry, stressed and ruining what should be a fun weekend. Rather than trying to be in control of everything all the time, let others help. Let your man comfort and support you.

TAURUS
Over-indulgence and taking too many risks could mar the next few days, but that shouldn’t stop you enjoying a very social time. You’ll just have to be creative. Love and romance grow when there is friendship as well as fun.

GEMINI
If your present relationship is more mental than physical, you’ll have to decide if you can balance it with an active love life – or if you need to move on… There is the possibility of an accident at home so be careful with fire and sharp implements. Avoid domestic fights.

CANCER
You have some great ideas for a neighbourhood party, and it’s time to turn your ideas into reality. But, don’t drive too fast and avoid accidents by trying to do things too quickly. You hide your suspicion of others under a show of affability. Love is hugely physical.

LEO
Take care of the cents or you could lose a lot of money. Be careful with your wallet and your credit cards. You need to give your finances some attention, even if it is the festive season. If you have to work late, do so willingly – especially if it brings in more money. Love is romantic.

VIRGO
You are full of energy, and your competitive spirit is buzzing. You could do yourself some harm, so calm down and think before you act. Try being softer, more giving, and sweeter, and your lover will be surprised by the new you. Have me-time in the form of a facial or a new hair style before the New Year festivities kick in.

LIBRA
There is an intriguing air of mystery about you today which excites your man. You seem shyer and more romantic than usual, too. There is a lot or work to get through, and you easily persuade him to do the physical work.

SCORPIO
Romance is in the air, and you could well meet someone special through one of your friends or a social event. A confrontation with an old boyfriend might upset you, so be understanding and avoid conflict. You don’t have to tell the world about your new lover.

SAGITTARIUS
Everyone notices your enthusiasm and energy, so don’t even attempt to keep your actions secret. Meeting up with your siblings and entertaining your neighbours and friends this weekend is a priority. In love, you need time alone together.

You seem to be at peace with the world today, getting recognition for your hard work and probably more money, too. But there could well be added responsibilities. This is the time to consider your long-term goals. Be bold and daring - this is a new year.

AQUARIUS
You are enjoying exciting new ideas and experiences. Face past disappointments, and move on with courage and boldness. Whatever your interests or career, further training will help. You are more sentimental than usual which helps your love life to become more sensual.

PISCES
It's time to value everything you have, especially your friends, your colleagues and your family. You need to be more responsible about investments and paying your bills on time. In the meantime, be playful and have fun.

ARIES
Your partner may be going through a difficult time where your help, love and advice are needed. Do this with compassion and understanding, and it will make the relationship even stronger. Luckily, your career is moving forward.

TAURUS
Keep it real, and accept all your responsibilities both at work and at home, and life will be much easier as you find answers to the problems. It's important that you keep as fit as possible; a healthy diet and exercise are vital. Your love life looks amazing - warm, and emotionally validating.

GEMINI
Your love life is becoming more stable, warm, romantic and long-lasting, but do have an emotional commitment as well? Try not to be too defensive – why not let him into your life? Money issues at work need to be dealt with. Don’t put it off.

CANCER
It's time to improve your ties with your partner and with your family, and ensure that your domestic environment is stress-free. Do you need to be more accepting of your background and extended family? Your emotions spill over, but this actually heightens your sex life.

LEO
You will find it easier to achieve when your life is more organized – the more information you gather, exchanging ideas and opinions, the more you’ll learn. It is all about timing, and you instinctively know when to stay and when to go. You should take the lead in your love life.

VIRGO
Your finances seem far more stable as you put money in its proper place, leaving you free to prioritise. Whatever you need seems to be coming to you which makes you stop worrying, allowing you to relax enough to let your sweetness through to your man.

LIBRA
You are making impressive progress with your fitness, your looks and in achieving your goals – unless, of course, you have ignored the advice that Saturn is giving, in which case you need to start asap. This is a new start and a new year, and love will be everything you wish for.

SCORPIO
If you’ve been neglecting yourself, working all hours to achieve a certain goal (anything from a degree to finishing everything that you have to do) you should see the benefits of all this self-sacrifice. Let your sense of humour and your creativity shine in your love life.

SAGITTARIUS
Your friends are important, and their support and love is helping you become happier and more productive. A new friend could come into your life, and this could turn into something even more important. Your intuition is strong – listen!

Try to be more tolerant, and control your impulse to criticize. Think of sensitive and kind ways to say what you think. This way, your popularity at work will soar even more. Your intuition is strong at the moment – listen to it. Animal magnetism rules.

AQUARIUS
Is it time for you to think of you and your partner instead of focussing on the world at large? Your mind is always active, but what about your body and its needs? Being a good organizer at work won’t help your love life. Let passion rule.

PISCES
Your family are very appreciative of what you do for them. Are you thinking about moving home? Consider what would make you happy. What is your role in your circle of friends? Are they supportive and helpful? Is your man as sincere and loving as you?

ARIES
It's time to take charge of your life as just drifting along and hoping it will all turn out fine is no longer an option. Action is needed, and the power is in your hands. What is your vision? Decide on a goal and go for it. Your friends and colleagues will be supportive.

TAURUS
Increasing your knowledge becomes stronger now, and you might also decide to move abroad to gain new experience. Don’t limit yourself – it might be scary, but the results will be so worthwhile. Use your creative imagination, and don’t under-estimate yourself. Love-making is exciting.

GEMINI
You’ve wanted something, like your own property or a more fulfilling job, but you may have to give up your comfortable rut in order to gain it. Change is scary – only you can decide if it is worth the risk. Make your own decisions. The same goes for your love life.

CANCER
You veer between a need for intimacy and a need for independence. This can be quite confusing for your partner, your colleagues and your family, but by showing your love and your sensitivity you’ll have everyone on your side. Honesty is best.

LEO
Is there a power struggle going on at work or at home? You don’t like to take orders, only to give them. Today, assist someone else. The more willing you are to help, the easier it’ll be. A sense of humour keeps your love life on track.

VIRGO

The more difficult the situation, the more creative and focussed you become. Your choices do impact on those around you, but ultimately you need to make the decisions that will best suit you. Married Virgos might decide to have a baby… Singles, be careful! You're emotionally cool, but very sexy!

LIBRA
If you have made the decision to move home, don’t look back but move onwards and upwards. It's exciting, if emotionally upsetting, especially if you are leaving your childhood home and family. If you are renovating, it's vital you don’t over-spend.

SCORPIO
Intensity is the word today. You are serious about everything you do, but try not to lose your sense of humour as it is vital you keep your friends, colleagues and family on your side. This is a good time to further your computer knowledge. In love, it might be a good idea to mask your power a little.

SAGITTARIUS
You may decide to change jobs in order to earn what you need – or to take on another job in the evenings or over the weekend. Just remember that you must control your finances, rather than letting them control you. Learn now how to invest, and spend wisely. Love is fun and sexy.

27 December 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/27-december-2011 CAPRICORN
You could be given a salary increase or make money through a joint venture. Share your ideas and interests and see what comes of it. If you're organizing a social event, you probably want to spend on a couple of luxury items – it might be a better idea to leave your credit card at home. In your love life, actions speak louder than words.

AQUARIUS
Your willingness to help, and co-operate combined with your innate charm, will make a big difference in not only your life but in that of your friends and colleagues. This, in turn, improves your luck. Take this opportunity to indulge your body with a soothing massage.

PISCES
Being involved in charity work, helping someone less fortunate as well as fund raising will all be successful this week. A secret love affair or a sexual fantasy is exciting and very erotic, but will it be fulfilling in the long-term? Discuss matters with a close friend – but not one who gossips.

ARIES
Your love life doesn’t seem as exuberant as usual, but this doesn’t stop you enjoying some exotic sex. Is your heart involved, though? Your own happiness is more important, especially if you are joining a social club or business association.

TAURUS

Your beauty, artistic and musical talents and your willingness to cooperate are noticed by everyone of importance. You don’t have to over-do it, just be your usual, charming self. Let everyone know how you feel; just don’t be too heavy and intense. Love is honest and real.

GEMINI
The more you are in touch with everyone, the better, and the holidays are heaven for you. Today is good for planning a trip abroad or a holiday away from your usual environment. Love-wise, there is a touch of the exotic today, with the chance of meeting someone new and exciting.

CANCER
Your status at work and in your social circle increases, but you do though need to share a common vision and goals with your man if it is to be a long-term commitment. On a more mundane level, a mortgage or a bank loan will probably be approved.

LEO
It's important that you focus on your partner and your colleagues rather than just on yourself if you want legal matters, contracts and negotiations to work in your favour. The planets are smiling on you and your career prospects. Let your man help out.

VIRGO
The better you look, the better you feel, and the better you work. Now is the time, after the holiday festivities, to get your body back into shape. A healthy diet and exercise regime will help, but don’t forget to factor in some early nights too. Love is surprisingly erotic.

LIBRA
You enjoy the festive season, and the more social events, the better. Friends, your romantic partner and nieces and nephews are the focus of your creative imagination. Your local community, neighbours and siblings are part of the scene too. Love is a little too intellectual.

SCORPIO
Your love life could be getting serious, and your imagination runs to setting up home together... But is this what he wants too? Your family and home take up your time – keep an eye on your finances as you have to pay off overdrafts and credit cards.

SAGITTARIUS
If you haven’t been in touch with your siblings and extended family, it isn’t too late. Get on the phone, text or hop in the car and go visit. Flattery and charm will work wonders as long as you don’t overdo it. Don’t forget that your career is still important, and you could make a useful contact.

26 December 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/26-december-2011 CAPRICORN
After all the hype of family and celebrating it’s good to be able to sit back and just enjoy your friends and family. Try not to let any worries about your job, career or anything else impede on your sense of fun. Just be yourself, and explore a few new ideas. Love is working well, despite a few battles.

AQUARIUS
You might look for perfection in the people around you, but you know there is no such thing. Do what you can to help everyone, but don’t stress if it seems an impossible task. Remember that ideas are like acorns – they grow into mighty trees. Love is not a priority.

PISCES
Expansive, loving Pisces, you are mean and petty. You have some great new ideas, but don’t expect everyone to go along with them; they aren’t as generous as you are. Don’t forget the small details as well as the big picture – it will be worth the effort. Love is explosive.

ARIES
At work, your courage and decisiveness work well, but your communication skills could be a bit cold. Coat your opinions with sugar to make them palatable to everyone. The same goes for your love life as you seem a bit emotionally aloof today. This doesn’t stop your libido from buzzing, though.

TAURUS
If you can, stand back and clear your mind of any expectations in order to see what's really going on at work, in your relationships and in your spiritual beliefs. You might decide on advanced training, to travel or to work abroad – or even to commit yourself to your current relationship. Sex is not a problem.

GEMINI
Meetings with friends who share your ideas and interests will go well today, though you might have to drive or travel to be with them. Be yourself, though – you don’t have to follow everything they say. You could meet that special man who shares your views. Listen to your intuition.

CANCER
You're friendlier than usual, and you have an inner warmth which radiates to colleagues and friends. Your lover will find you particularly appealing, and lovemaking will be exhilarating. Try not to be too intense when you talk to friends or business associates. Keeping your ideas light and unserious will help.

LEO

You seem more inventive and creative than usual, both at work and in your love life. Your sense of fun is stronger than usual, but you don't lose your dignity. He is willing to help your career aspirations but, as you don’t want emotions to interfere with your love life, he stands back bit.

VIRGO
You need your man to accept you just as you are, acknowledging that you can sometimes be detached and at other times overwhelmingly emotional. Despite your family’s needs, your mind is focussed on your work and making sure your space suits your needs.

LIBRA
Probably not at your warmest emotionally, you can get a lot done in a practical way by using your artistic talents. Get your family involved in renovating your home space – they are probably willing to share the costs. Love is cool, but very physical.

SCORPIO
Your maternal instincts can be very appealing to your man, despite your coolness, and this could be the start of a serious relationship. One problem is your intolerance today of anyone who disagrees with you. Work on your friendships.

SAGITTARIUS
Independence is your mantra today, but is it lonely in that castle? It isn’t any use having things to say if there is no-one to communicate with. It's time to think about your career, so arrange meetings to discuss your latest ideas. Love is a winner.

CANCER
Your feelings for your loved ones, and especially your partner, get deeper all the time. No matter how strong and independent you are, you need your lover, family and friends. Get on the phone, call, text or email everyone. Better still, go and visit them in person.

LEO

You have the admiration of your friends and family, and now is the time to bask in their love as you show just how much they mean to you. Think of the little ways you can bring them love and healing – a small cup of tea often means more than an expensive gift.

VIRGO
Let your humour, sense of fun and the pursuit of pleasure follow you today. Your creativity needs no boundaries. Spend time with friends, family and on socialising. Let your hair down, relax and do whatever you can to make everyone's life more fun.

SAGITTARIUS
Your energy and enthusiasm will make this a Christmas never to be forgotten by your friends and family. It might be an expensive time for you, but it isn’t the cost of the presents you bring, it’s the love and time you give to your siblings, extended family and neighbours.

PISCES
You really enjoy this Christmas, and being with friends as well as family brings even more fun. You might meet or make new friends, too. You could be stubborn about the way you spend your money – generosity is one thing, but emptying your bank account, quite another. Inspiring lovemaking is key.

ARIES
Your reputation is even stronger if you are the one organizing the Christmas lunch party – as long as you do it all in the spirit of generosity rather than just to promote your own goals. An unexpected event makes you change course, and infatuation rules your love life.

TAURUS

Only the best will do this Christmas, especially in relation to a holiday abroad. A last-minute invitation or trip could well be offered. If you are at home, a more spiritual connection calls. Emotionally, don’t let family matters stress you. Discuss everything with your man.

GEMINI
Your family could be more than usually generous with money, which could help take the strain off your credit card. Don’t borrow to buy gifts - Christmas is expensive enough. An unexpected visit to or from friends could make you change your plans. Heightened sexual activity is exciting.

CANCER
Relationships are becoming even more important this Christmas. Someone else could make a decision that changes your plans, but the calmer you remain, the easier it will be as a highly emotional reaction will only make things more difficult.

LEO
Christmas might seem to be a lot of work, and it probably is, but it will also be a lot of fun and very productive. Your affectionate nature shines and your love life will become more daring than usual. There is a risk when travelling, so be careful. In love, you need to learn how to keep a secret.

VIRGO
You and your man really need to work as a team if you want to get everything finished on time. You are in artistic mood, decorating your home space, dressing up and wrapping presents. Your family and friends are very lucky this year. Creativity rules all areas of your life, especially your love life.

LIBRA
Your home and family are the important factors this Christmas and bring you the security and emotional warmth you need. Not everything will go exactly to plan, so be co-operative and ready to listen to what others want, too. Your love life progresses to a new level.

SCORPIO
This Christmas It is all about communication. It's time to connect with the friends and family you haven’t had time to call or be in touch with. An e-Christmas card just won’t do. Visiting friends and family as well as neighbours is also important. Don’t over-eat or drink too much, though. In love, you're inseparable.

SAGITTARIUS
Has everyone gone away, leaving you without much going on? Use your creative talents to take you in a new and innovative direction, especially when entertaining. Being too impulsive might cause upsets, but socializing with your favourite man is important.

You have the ability today to put your ideas across easily with your witty sense of humour. You need your partner to be clever, intellectual and to share your need for glamour, as well as the same values. A tall order? Probably. Lovemaking will be energetic and fun.

PISCES
You probably try to do far too much today, and end up not achieving. Slow down, think, plan and prioritize. Luckily, your self confidence is high today so you can finish everything you set out do. Only relaxed lovemaking will suit you.

ARIES
You won’t buckle under anyone’s rules or regulations as you just want to follow your own path today. Left to get on with your work in your own way, you’ll achieve even more than usual. Think before you speak as you could upset someone in authority. In love, don’t be too competitive with your man.

TAURUS
You aren’t in 'caretaker mode' with your man – today you need an equal partnership, and even being expected to do the washing up makes you angry. Try to be fair; has he had a bad day compared to you? Some erotic, sensual lovemaking will help.

GEMINI

You feel you can do everything today, and you're flying high. At work your professional attitude brings great results and increases your status. You can focus more than usual, too, as you use a more spiritual approach in everything you do. Your man had better be as bold.

CANCER
You are feeling a bit sensitive and easily hurt today, though you can still be quite forceful when necessary. Discuss matters with your colleagues and gently show your feelings - or you’ll go into a 'slow boil' mode, and the steam will really fill the air. Love is turbulent.

LEO
Passion and excitement rule today, and adventure calls whether at work where you take more risks, or when having fun. Your creative ideas help your career up a few notches and this, in turn, increases your bank balance. Unrestrained passion rules.

VIRGO
You know the detail – now is the time to be expansive, enthusiastic and to let everyone know what you can do. Your mind is quick and accurate, and your entrepreneurial skills are impressive. Is your man on your wave-length?

LIBRA
You are an interesting mix of hot and cold today, and love-wise there are no limits. This is a good day for selling and advertising yourself as you can talk to everyone and make them feel good about themselves, but are your ideas practical?

SCORPIO
You could be more aloof than usual – loyal and affectionate, but needing time alone to get things sorted and finished, otherwise you’ll steam with rage and probably burst into tears. You probably won’t want to refuse your man anything, but you could have over-extended yourself.

SAGITTARIUS
Try not to preach to everyone today - not everyone wants to follow what you have to say, and this will only make you unhappy as you veer between happiness and despair. Love is something else, where you feel you can achieve everything with your chosen man. Love- making will revitalize you.

keep your man? It’s time to be yourself. Negotiations and contracts are favourable.

It's all about ideas, information, computers and your means of transport. You might decide to buy a car, travel locally, get involved in community projects and socialize with neighbours. Interaction with your siblings is more important, too. When it comes to lovemaking, mind-blowing orgasms rule.

SAGITTARIUS

The Sun in Capricorn puts the emphasis on your monetary goals – are you achieving them? What are your other priorities? Your principles are as important as your income. Everyone recognises your personal integrity which helps your earnings too. Passion is revitalized today.

21 December 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/21-december-2011 SAGITTARIUS
You are far more emotional than usual and pick up on the feelings of everyone around you, too. Rather than overreact in a dramatic way, stand back a bit and try not to get involved. A sense of humour will see you through. In love, take a risk with your emotions.

CAPRICORN
You are a very caring person even if you don’t want to show it today. Your colleagues and workmates will appreciate all the help you give them, especially when you share your creative talents. Love could be almost an obsession today. Have fun.

AQUARIUS
The focus is on your career, so use your charm on business contacts, associates and even your friends. Appreciate their support as it helps you climb further up the ladder. You feel a little more nurturing than usual, and more intense. Let your man help you relax.

PISCES
Your wicked sense of humour saves you from being too intense and emotional, though you could still be a bit sad underneath the humour. At work you could have the opportunity to learn a new skill which will help your career. Love-wise, you sing the same song.

ARIES
You seem to have much more energy than usual, and nothing will get you down today and you get through a huge amount of work. Jupiter is adding to your financial luck too, and your self-confidence and optimism help. Passion rules your love life.

TAURUS
Intensity and passion rule your love life today, but if you are too heavy it could scare your man away. Career-wise, you know exactly what you want and will not deviate from the path today. Finances look good due to your practical outlook.

GEMINI

You want to spend time alone with your man today rather than sharing him with friends or social events. Your passions are stronger than usual and you are more sensitive, too. A touch of brilliance could make your work at the office and at home much easier.

CANCER
You meet someone very sexy, and you could easily be tempted into an affair which could really damage a permanent relationship. Think first - is it worth the risk? You don’t want to hurt anyone, including yourself. Meetings at work will be successful.

LEO
You need your man to help you de-stress today, especially if you’ve burst into anger at work or let your passions fly. Luckily, he’ll give you the support you need – even if you don’t deserve it. You have a creative idea to help you earn the money you need.

VIRGO
Don’t let silly remarks get you down – petty people say petty things. You are bigger than that. You have a magnetic quality about you today; an inner strength and subtle passion which is powerfully attractive. Let sensuality rule.

LIBRA
Your self-confidence and passion for everything you do today makes everyone else enthusiastic too. Discuss your ideas, especially for making money – it could well be worth the risk. Love-wise, you could be unusually jealous. Don’t let these feelings get out of hand.

SCORPIO
Emotionally, you are very extreme today, tears turning to laughter. You can easily be manipulated by people in your state. Don’t be taken in by a sob story. Keep your creative force under control as your ability to change from love to hatred can make you and your man very unhappy.

20 December 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/20-december-2011 SAGITTARIUS
Venus moves into Aquarius today bringing the emphasis on to short holidays and trips. You are more unconventional than usual, and ready to speak your mind on community issues, especially if this involved beautifying your local neighbourhood. 'Sexy' is the word for you today.

CAPRICORN
You want some luxury in your life, but wait for the January sales before you buy that new plasma TV, Blackberry or laptop. Luckily patience is one of your greater virtues at the moment. You need your man to have the same outlook, otherwise there’ll be a battle.

AQUARIUS
You are attracting everyone’s attention at the moment, and the range of your personal influence increases, surprising even you. Use your charm and physical appearance while letting your sense of humour show through everything you do. Your friends will love it, and so will your man.

PISCES
You could be tempted to have a secret relationship, one you don’t want anyone else to know about. Or you might want to stay away from everyone, dreaming, fantasizing and being in your own head. An ex-boyfriend could turn up again. Do you want this?

ARIES
You want more influence over your friends, colleagues and business associates, but as you don’t want any arguments or disagreements, promoting peace and harmony is very important. Joining group activities will be beneficial. A friendship could turn into love.

TAURUS
A public social event will put you in the spotlight, so make sure you look your best and show off your artistic talents, charm and beauty. Don’t sit back – this is the time to be noticed. When your man listens and admires you, love will be fantastic. When he doesn't, there will be tension.

GEMINI
You seem more serious about higher education and cultural pursuits, and willing to concentrate more on one subject. Advertising campaigns and marketing are successful at work. Make friends with people from different cultures. You could meet someone very special.

CANCER
You need to know that you share the same vision, values and goals with your man before you are prepared to commit yourself. Romantic relationships and even friendships are quite intense, but very worthwhile. Love is exhausting and exhilarating, but well worth it.

LEO
You need to forget yourself for a while and concentrate on your partner and your friends. At work, negotiations and contracts will work out in your favour as long as you keep promoting harmony and being as charming and co-operative as you can be. In love, let him take the lead.

VIRGO
No matter what is going on at work stay calm, smile and be as understanding as you can. This will help keep the peace. Even making your work space more beautiful will help. An office romance or meeting someone through work is probable now.

LIBRA
A holiday now will be beneficial, and you are in the mood for pleasure. If you can’t get away now, start to plan your next vacation. Love and romance are necessary. Don’t miss out on any invitations, but socialize and enjoy your friends.

SCORPIO
Entertaining at home is more important now, so enjoy social gatherings with friends and family. Decorating your home (either for Christmas or a complete make-over) will be fun – get your partner and family involved too. A legal matter or contract to do with property is successful.

19 December 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/19-december-2011 SAGITTARIUS
As you attempt to control your life, make sure you don’t distance yourself from friends or colleagues too much. You’ll have great success in overcoming problems, but it’ll be far easier with help from everyone around. In love, anything goes.

CAPRICORN
Love-wise, there’ll be a battle of wills if you want everything to go according to your wishes – how about a compromise? Be sensitive to the needs of those around you, and use your intuition to know what is going on rather than fearing the future. Your work is noticed, and your career is on the upswing.

AQUARIUS
Broadening your mind is good, and Saturn says you’ll have great success when you use your innovative mind in a responsible way. Travel is possible now, especially to see family and friends. It's expensive, so use your time and money wisely. Is your love life a priority?

PISCES
You're being forced to be responsible and mature about your finances, especially where others are involved. Even your love life is more serious, but this doesn’t stop you enjoying some really erotic sex. Your career is going well, and should make you more money.

ARIES
You need help at the moment to take your career and work up a notch or two, but the added responsibilities you get in exchange for this help might not be worth it. Think first. Charm will help, as will being sensitive to their needs. Sex is raunchy, but lacks emotion.

TAURUS
Working too much could make you overtired, but it's the only option if you are bogged down with all the boring routine things you've neglected (filing, keeping accounts up to date, etc). Make sure you get enough sleep and a healthy diet. Expect amazing sex.

GEMINI
Listen to your intuition rather than gossiping; it’ll be far more accurate today. Your creative talents will make you money as long as you use them wisely. Your love life becomes more serious now as a new relationships turns to commitment. Singles – an instant attraction could turn into romance.

CANCER
It’s time to take control of your home life. If you want to move house, you must make the decision, and if there are disagreements with your family, you must make the move in order to sort them out. Be proactive, and take time to beautify your work space. Is he providing the intimacy you need?

LEO
Check that your car is in good condition as you don’t want to be stranded somewhere because of faulty tyres or no petrol. A misunderstanding with someone at work due to being over-sensitive could cause confusion. Self-consciousness is a no-no in your love life.

VIRGO

You need to control your finances by looking at what really is important and what isn’t; what you need to buy and what you can do without. Even if you've received a bonus, think about waiting for the January sales. Creativity rules your love-making.

LIBRA
Don’t blame anyone else – your life is in your hands. This is exciting and scary, but also very rewarding. Research the information you need to move forward, take responsibility and make whatever changes are necessary. Love-wise, your feelings could change.

SCORPIO
Don’t feel sorry for yourself. Rather, deal responsibly with any setbacks or losses and move on with quiet determination. Concentrate all your mental faculties on the problem and you’ll overcome all obstacles. Financial agreements will work out well, and love could get serious.

18 December 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/18-december-2011 SAGITTARIUS
If you are feeling a bit tense, let your friends make you feel safe and nurtured. This doesn’t mean you don’t want freedom to be yourself, it's just nice to know they care. Singles, there are opportunities to meet someone who will fulfil your dreams of having it all.

CAPRICORN
Are you feeling touchy for no good reason? You want friends around you for support and entertainment, but get irritated by them too. Your love life too is a seesaw – one minute, absolutely amazing, fun and fulfilling and the next, down in the doldrums. Aim for balance.

AQUARIUS
You need your friends, as long as you can still travel, feel the wind in your hair and remain a bit elusive. When pinned down for commitment, you may just run away. It will take a strong man to get you to commit. Sex is free, physical and inventive.

PISCES

You might be sensual and romantic, but even you need a bit of time out alone. As long as he appeals to your emotions you’ll be putty in his hands. Listen to your intuition to help you make the right career decisions, especially if you feel your values are ignored.

ARIES
You and your man have to be great friends and trust each so that you have the freedom to be yourself - though you can be quite aggressive if you think someone is muscling in on your territory. You are willing to help everyone today as long as they do everything your way. Be reasonable.

TAURUS

Optimism is your saving grace today, and no matter what is going on, you are able to cope, and to get stuck in to everything that needs to be done. Love is passionate, and you demand and give loads of attention. Your man might find this a little bit heavy.

GEMINI
You are easily able to combine business with pleasure, so if going on a business trip, perhaps plan a holiday afterwards so your man can come along to save on another air fare. Or have you just met someone special through business? Enjoy a weekend of love and romance.

CANCER
As you seem a bit scared of being hurt or fooled, you need to take budding relationships slowly. Take time out alone to decide if this is who you really want. There is a lot to get through, so immerse yourself in work. Meetings are very successful.

LEO
This is a day for having fun, socializing, laughing and chatting with friends – it all might be a bit superficial, but who cares? You have the energy; do what you want. Freedom to follow your heart is one thing, but following your soul might cause jealousy.

VIRGO
This is a day for socializing, but only with those you consider to be on your intellectual and social wave-length. Does this mean you are a bit of a snob? Probably - but this has to be because you are such a perfectionist. Spend time on your home. One small designer item gives more pleasure than loads of cheap stuff.

LIBRA
Trying to keep your life perfectly balanced could be taking some strain. Rather than bottling things up, talk everything out with your man. There's no point in being less than honest. Luckily, your innate charm will see you through.

SCORPIO
Rather than staying at home and feeling sorry for yourself, make the effort to invite friends over. Seeing to their needs will make you forget your own for a while. If that isn’t possible, get stuck into a creative hobby. There is a bit of sexual tension which needs attention.

17 December 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/17-december-2011 SAGITTARIUS
Be careful of what you wish for… You might suddenly acquire new friends through a group, website or your business, but do they offer the commitment and affection you need? They may cost you your hard-earned money, so be careful. Take the lead at work where your decisiveness counts.

CAPRICORN
Listen to advice and get the latest information, but it's you who has to make the decisions. Don’t blame anyone else if it goes wrong. Rather, accept responsibility for everything you do so that you can really achieve success. You are good at covering up your fears. When it comes to love-making, there are definitely no fears there.

AQUARIUS
You could find your travel or study plans being delayed, but this could work out to your advantage in the end. You could find that a different destination provides more interest, or that changing to a different study course could be of more help in the long-term. Love-wise, who is the boss?

PISCES
You could be forced to take more responsibility, not only for your own money but for other people too, and these skills and abilities are the key to your future security, even if it is a daunting task that you could well do without. Don’t try to keep a failing relationship going. Happily, the good ones get stronger.

ARIES
A partnership, whether love or business, may be terminated or you have to make an extra effort to make it work. When it does, it will be very satisfying. The experience you gain will be invaluable in the future despite the added responsibilities now.

TAURUS

The earlier you start to eat a healthy diet and follow an exercise regime the fitter you’ll be. Start laying the foundation immediately so you’ll reap the benefits now and in the years to come. You’ll feel much happier, too, which will then spill over into your work and love life.

GEMINI
Be careful not to take risks unless you have thought about everything very thoroughly first. You need strong, stable relationships and a mature approach to enjoying your life. Selfishness is a no-no now. Show your love but don’t expect it to be reciprocated.

CANCER
You could feel that your partner or family are restricting your personal freedom, or you become disappointed with your home. Think of ways to strengthen family ties rather than break them off. Don’t expect your man to give in to your moods – he has his own to deal with.

LEO
You could have difficulty in expressing your ideas and opinions to the people who matter. Make sure meetings are well organized. Check that your car is in good condition – you don’t want to break down or run out of petrol. Prioritize.

VIRGO
Placing too much emphasis on money and assets could mean a loss of something else in your life, like a loving relationship or friends. Shopping or retail therapy won’t work at the moment as you probably won’t find what you need or you'll buy the wrong size and colour. This is probably not a day for great sex either.

LIBRA
You probably feel unhappy with your self-image, and the fact that you don’t look any different to yesterday isn’t any help. Take responsibility for everything you do, be calm and take one day at a time. You’ll be surprised at the progress you make. In love, you need more passion.

SCORPIO
Face your worries and fears so that you don’t dwell on failure or disappointment. You have great reserves of inner strength and understanding, so use them. If a member of your family or a close friend is in hospital or confined, give your help generously. In love, does he match your high standards?

16 December 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/16-december-2011 SAGITTARIUS
Your career gets a boost as someone important notices how much you are achieving, but being too much of a nit-picker today could make you ill or stressed. You need your man to provide the romance. Use your considerable diplomatic skills to help him understand what you want.

CAPRICORN
Capricorns usually quite like to take a few gambles, but today you seem more timid which is probably good news for your bank account. Love-wise, though, you might loosen up a bit more, showing your feelings and emotions in your own unique, creative way.

AQUARIUS
There is unusual intensity at home with your family, but luckily the Moon is adding a dash of optimism and the discussions will end in an amicable fashion. It will be up to you to keep your cool even when your loved ones don’t agree with you.

PISCES
Try to keep your opinions to yourself – or, at least wait until asked, no matter how emotional an issue it is for you. If you don't, everyone will argue and it could all get out of hand. If you’ve fallen head-over-heels for someone, think carefully before you make any final decisions.

ARIES
It's all get-up-and-go, and you have no patience for the slower members of society. You seem to be able to achieve everything you want today with ease and no sweat – which is most annoying for everyone else. Your fighting spirit brings in the money, but also the headaches.

TAURUS
Today is one of those powerful achieving days where your creative mind is in unity with your financial prowess and you still look cool, poised and full of charm. Today, if you have any energy left, also sees your erotic sexual appetite being fulfilled.

GEMINI
You might want to spend time alone today, crying into your pillow because you feel misunderstood and unappreciated. Then, suddenly, you snap out of it, optimism returns and you become your usual successful, chatty self. In love you're a little bit moody.

CANCER
Friends provide your happiness today as long as you take an interest in what is going on in their lives too. Being too quick to give your opinion without knowing all the facts could be the cause of some angst, so think before you speak. Give yourself some me-time.

LEO
It's time to let everyone know your ideas and opinions, especially on financial matters - but use your charm and understanding for the best results. You can expect a lively, stimulating evening with your favourite man where there’ll be emotional warmth and loving trust.

VIRGO
Romance for you today is in the form of shared intellectual interests and loyalty rather than flowers (though these will be welcome too). Advice? Keep your sharper opinions to yourself, and listen rather than talking. Sensuality will win over passion.

LIBRA
Self-sufficiency is your mantra today, and you just want to do whatever makes you happy and fulfilled. You are full of interesting ideas, but are quite happy to keep these to yourself until you are ready to tell the world. Love-wise, sweetness rather than passion rules.

SCORPIO
If you get a bit irritable, take time out to relax today and let friends cheer you up or go out for a coffee or drink with colleagues. Your mind is more analytical than usual, and you are able to achieve even more than usual. In love, you have the power.

15 December 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/15-december-2011 SAGITTARIUS
You do everything in pursuit of your own goals, especially those to do with relationships. Follow your heart, but if you are too pushy you could find you lose the cooperation of your friends – and even your lover. Only extravagant, pampering sex satisfies.

CAPRICORN
You probably need to stop, take a deep breath and decide which direction you really want your work life to take. You can’t do everything, so prioritise. Making decisions too quickly could work against you in the long run, so control is needed. You are more capricious than usual, love-wise.

AQUARIUS
The consequences of over-indulgence (alcohol, drugs and food) could be a bit unpleasant. Have fun, but know when to stop. Singles, the intensity of your feelings in your love life could have unwanted results. Don’t take risks - think first.

PISCES
You want to get things done at home and make the decisions, but you might be better off discussing big issues with your family or partner first otherwise there’ll be arguments. Direct this energy towards your work and career goals instead. When it comes to love, bring in some romance.

ARIES
Love might be warm and romantic at the moment, but if you’ve been working too hard and expending too much energy on everything else, your migraines and headaches mean you won’t be in the mood for anything else. Try not to be too assertive at work or your colleagues will get upset.

TAURUS

Try not to take too many risks, especially with your money – either by spending too much or making unwise investments. You don’t always know best, so ask questions and listen to advice before making up your mind. Love-wise, use your imagination.

GEMINI
You have a plan, and don’t want anyone to suggest you do things differently. That's fine, just don’t push yourself to the extreme. You might find it helpful to listen to what others have to say. You don’t have to follow their advice. In love and friendship togetherness is vital.

CANCER
If you try to do too much today, imposing your own will on everything and everyone, you could end up exhausted and quarrelling with those closest to you (neighbours, siblings, and people in your local community). You could even have an accident. Keep calm and let your loving nature show.

LEO
Think very carefully before spending too much money, especially if it involves friends and social groups. Listen to experts when it comes to your finances – if you have to work overtime or take on an extra job to make ends meet, do so. Love is a battle ground when you are too demanding, but at least it's exciting.

VIRGO
You are pushing for what you want today to take your career up a notch, but this could upset the very people you need on your side like your colleagues, business associates and your boss. Use charm and persuasive talents rather than aggression.

LIBRA
Travel is on your mind and a business trip could come up now, but don’t neglect your other work. You achieve more by working alone at the moment and making your own decisions. You're making great progress. Don’t let your worries keep you awake at night – you can only do so much.

SCORPIO
Trying to do too much today means you might not finish anything. Ask rather than demand that your colleagues and associates help. You are popular, but others will lose patience if you are too assertive. Love-wise, you’ll take what you want.

14 December 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/14-december-2011 SAGITTARIUS
Mercury is stationery, and about to move forward making you far more assertive and even aggressive, though very optimistic. Try not to make instant decisions you could regret later. Your travel plans work out well. A new spiritual concept or belief could be of long-term interest. Love is vigorous.

CAPRICORN
If you’ve been replaying times when you were sad or depressed, you can expect your life and moods to lighten up, and you'll be able to see far more joy and beauty in everything you do. Your popularity at work increases, not to mention your love and sex life.

AQUARIUS
Mercury is now bringing you even more flashes of brilliance and innovative ideas than usual. Use them in a positive way. Love-wise, you are more unpredictable but show yourself as bold and passionate even if you aren’t prepared to settle down right now.

PISCES
You are in the mood to jump at new career and work opportunities. Take time to think as you may not be as cautious as you have been recently, but the outlook looks very positive. There will be more paperwork and reports. Love-wise, you need time together.

ARIES
The idea of travelling abroad has been at the back of your mind, giving you very itchy feet. Now is the time to book tickets. You might study a foreign language or take up further training for your career. Love-wise, being faithful is an asset worth cultivating.

TAURUS

If there is something in your life that needs investigating, now is the time as you are in research mode. Focus your mind on your strong and committed ideas, but keep it light and
Simple. You could collect some money owed to you. Love is deep.

GEMINI
You are able to make decisions much more easily now, and you won’t change your mind as often. Partnerships and joint ventures become far more harmonious and easy now, and you can negotiate better terms in all contracts. Love is sexy.

CANCER
You’ll be less emotional and more analytical in your approach to problems or issues. Your mind will be far more organized, but coming to a decision will be quicker and easier. If you're worried about an ailment, you’ll easily be able to sort out the problem. In love you are the teacher.

LEO
Your social life is far more stimulating now, and you receive some good news regarding your love life. If involved in writing or the arts, you become far more creative. Your holiday travel plans could come together, especially with your favourite man.

VIRGO
Your intuition is bright and more accurate than before, especially in matters to do with your family and property transactions. Instead of just thinking about moving house, now is the time to do it. It’s also a good time to install a new computer, phone or other equipment into your home. Avoid jealousy.

LIBRA

Your mind is still very quick, but less scattered so now you are able to finish the projects you’ve started. Love-wise, you are able to express your feelings, though you still might not be able to demonstrate them to his satisfaction. Make your love-life fun.

SCORPIO

You could discover a monetary error, and for once, it's in your favour. It's important to think and discuss your financial ideas with an expert. You could learn something to your advantage. You’ll find it far easier to make the right decisions – be confident. In love, realism is setting in.

Your energy and enthusiasm spill over into most areas, and you’ll find it invigorating to participate in group discussions and activities that boost your career. You might want too much attention and praise, however – cool it a bit. Can he handle your ego?

CAPRICORN
Sex-wise, you are more passionate and intense than usual, but you also need to mix with the people who count in your life. Don’t dismiss anyone you feel is inferior – you never know who you might need… Learning new skills will benefit your long term goals.

AQUARIUS
Far more than usually sensitive to the needs of your partner, your willingness to go along with what he wants will make you very popular and passion will rule. Group energy is intense – don’t let your need to succeed put a dampener on your friendships. You need your colleagues on your side.

PISCES
A bit over-the-top emotionally today? He probably won’t mind that you veer between a lively sense of humour and total dejection. Avoid confrontation today. When you use your charm you’ll find it easy to keep your career on track, and you'll be able to get a lot of work done.

ARIES
Your adventurous spirit is highly appealing today so not many will notice that you are focussed on success both for yourself and your business – as long as you don’t go too far. If you do too much, though, you could get a headache. Exercise will use up your excess energy.

TAURUS
Is it time to really let your feelings out? Be the natural woman he craves. Your home and family could be causing you some angst, so use your charm to smooth out the differences, but cool it if your efforts at co-operation amount to nothing.

GEMINI
You are in upbeat mode, even if things are going wrong. Don't worry, noone will know. Usually you think more with your head than your heart, but today you need to be more generous with your help rather than just giving advice. Love-wise, it’s a dream.

CANCER
You are concerned with financial issues, and today you have the energy to discuss and confront important money matters that you might have been avoiding. Don’t let resentment simmer – let it out or you’ll become ill. In love, you prefer being in for the long-term.

LEO
You are such a forceful character today that everyone had better watch out or else they'll get burnt. You could become impatient and restless. It won’t help to get things done any quicker, especially if talking to your bank or a similar organization. Lust is the operative word…

VIRGO
Stop being the martyr; just because you are one of those rare people who always fulfil your
Obligations and do what you say you will. Show them what you are made of, and smile sweetly. In love, school-teacher fantasy turns him on.

LIBRA
The performing star in you is dying to get out, but if you play hard-to-get too believably, it could backfire. You’ll have to find a different stage on which to show your acting abilities. There might not be much emotional depth in your love making today, but it's a lot of fun.

SCORPIO
You know exactly what you want and how to get it today, and you will be in touch with friends, business associates and anyone else who can help you achieve. Just don’t become too aggressive or it’ll have the opposite effect. Love is insatiable today.

12 December 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/12-december-2011 SAGITTARIUS
On this quiet day in the heavens let’s look at who you’d probably find most compatible. You get on well with other fire signs, but a long-term relationship might be best with Librans and Aquarians who encourage your ideas but with less ego or competition. A Capricorn will keep your feet on the ground.

CAPRICORN
Looking at your compatible signs, you’ll find other earth people share your values and ethics, but it could be a bit dull in the long-term. Try water signs, especially Scorpio or Pisces. A Sagittarius will keep you on your toes, while Aquarius has the ideas for you to work on.

AQUARIUS
Looking at your compatibility chart, Aries and Sagittarians will bring warmth and fire into your ideas – Cancer is too watery and Virgo, too dry. Other air signs will encourage even more unorthodox ideas and behaviour, but would you achieve anything? Capricorn and Scorpio could help here.

PISCES
A satisfactory relationship is important for Pisces – you don’t need your ego to be continually bruised. Taurus could be good as well as Capricorn, but Virgo could be too critical. Aries and Aquarius would lift your spirits, but the sarcastic remarks of Gemini and Sagittarius could bring you down.

ARIES
There is probably too much competition for the limelight from Leo and Sagittarius, however much you enjoy their company, so your most compatible signs would probably be Gemini and Aquarius who are full of ideas and have a light touch. Taurus helps you make money, while Pisces offers emotional support.

TAURUS
In terms of your ideal partner, Cancer and Pisces will provide the emotional support you need, and won’t be too unpredictable. An Aries will bring you enthusiasm while a Gemini will lighten your spirits. Keep away from fiery Leo, Sagittarius, airy Aquarius and Libra.

GEMINI
You need a relationship that complements you – Leos and Aries will help you achieve your potential while Scorpio, Pisces, Virgo and Capricorn put dampeners on your enthusiasm. Cancer encourages your emotional feelings and Taurus keeps your feet on the ground.

CANCER
Other water signs make wonderful friends, but you need sensitive, down-to-earth Virgo and Taurus to help you achieve. Leo will provide some fire and Gemini could lift your spirits. Avoid Sagittarius and Aries as well as Aquarius.

LEO
You’ll be friends with other fire signs, but a long-term relationship would probably be best with Libra or Gemini who bring good ideas. A Virgo will keep everything in perspective and Cancer will provide the necessary emotional input. Capricorn and Pisces to be seem from a different planet.

VIRGO
If you want peace in your life it will be provided by a relationship with a Scorpio or Cancer - it’s best to avoid Aquarius and Aries. Other earth signs are compatible, sexually, but otherwise quite dull. A Leo excites, and a Libra encourages you to achieve.

LIBRA
You enjoy the company of other air signs, but you need the fire of Sagittarius and Leo to really excite and stimulate you. Scorpio is a mystery you want to uncover, and you need Virgo’s strength and sympathy. Avoid Cancer and Capricorn, and don’t mix with Pisces or Taurus.

SCORPIO
For Scorpio, Gemini and Aries are just too much to handle, while Aquarius and Leo cause angst. Why not choose a Virgo or a Capricorn? Pisces are sympathetic and fantastic lovers, but might irritate long term. A Cancer could be good.

11 December 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/11-december-2011 SAGITTARIUS
Now that Uranus is no longer retrograde, your enthusiasm and creative talents reach new and probably unorthodox highs. The possibilities are endless, though your favourite man might think you are a bit too much to handle. However, he seems willing to help you both emotionally and financially.

CAPRICORN

You might want more independence from your family or to move to home now that Uranus is no longer retrograde. Family relationships and dynamics could change, or you could get a new member of family through marriage or a birth. Sexual fantasies could be realised now, so don’t limit yourself.

AQUARIUS
With your personal planet no longer retrograde, your ideas and methods will change as they become more innovative and daring. You are inspired to develop new skills. Your pattern of transport will change as you either travel more or less. Even your love life is inspired.

PISCES
The focus is on your finances now that Uranus is no longer retrograde, and there could be some unexpected changes as you find new ways of earning what you need, encouraging you to be totally financially independent. Your love life is even more than usually emotional. Best you get out the tissues.

ARIES
There are no limits now that the Uranus retrograde is over. Expect a change in your personality and self-image. Different, unusual people come into your life, and having the freedom to do what you want to is a challenge. Watch out for accidents.

TAURUS
If you feel uncertain about your future, you’ll need to control your emotions and let your man and family nurture and pamper you. Tenderness rules. Uranus and Jupiter are both encouraging you to be more independent, positive and optimistic.

GEMINI
A highly unorthodox or unusual friendship develops as an old ones ends. Your role in your community life becomes far more interesting, even if you think you are being asked to do too much. Try not to be too moody and unpredictable with your man.

CANCER
You need to be comforted and nurtured by your family and your colleagues, and especially by your man who is supportive despite your over-emotionality. Your career won’t be uneventful now that Uranus is no longer retrograde, giving you the independence to try out new, innovative ideas.

LEO
It is time to get out of your comfortable rut and try out new ideas and activities in a more unconventional and broad-minded way. Singles, you could meet someone special from a totally different background or culture. Someone ill could need your help now.

VIRGO
It will be far easier for you to become more self-reliant and financially independent now that Uranus is no longer retrograde. Joint resources through marriage or a business partnership could be unpredictable. Your lover understands and helps you manage everything, but keep a sharp eye.

LIBRA
A new relationship forms that takes you out of your comfort zone, but you really enjoy the buzz and different ways of looking at everything you do. There will still be some tension and uncertainty, so be flexible and ready to change plans. In love, let romance rule.

SCORPIO
Your ideas concerning your health could undergo some changes as you become more interested in unorthodox health methods. Just don’t become too fanatical, and check with your doctor to ensure you don’t do anything that could endanger your health. Love is surprisingly erotic.

10 December 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/10-december-2011 SAGITTARIUS
The eclipse of the Moon today puts the focus on your relationships. A business agreement could be resolved or a love partnership could begin or end. Avoid overreacting whether things are going well or badly. Stay calm instead.

CAPRICORN
The Lunar eclipse is all about your work environment and your health. This is a good time to give up smoking, start an exercise regime or embark on a healthier diet. If there is tension at work, you’ll need to be as co-operative as possible to avoid health problems.

AQUARIUS
The eclipse is bringing the focus onto your creative projects and also onto your love life. Perhaps you should ask yourself if this is love or just an infatuation? Are you ready to take the relationship to another level? Your social life becomes far more interesting and fun.

PISCES
The focus for you during this Lunar eclipse (and for months to come) is on your house of home and also your career. You may need to balance your time so that they both have your attention. There could also be a bit of tension in your love life as well as in business ventures. Try to stay upbeat.

ARIES
Avoid accidents especially when travelling and when working with anything sharp or hot, and don’t let tension give you a headache. A course of study may end or you could start a new one. Your siblings become far more important, too. You may need to help sort out their problems.

TAURUS
It's time to make some decisions regarding your finances, and this is a good time to pay off your credit cards and other debts. You need to know that your colleagues and love partner share your values otherwise you’ll feel tense and unhappy. Over-indulgence could ruin your figure.

GEMINI
A new beginning is promised by the Lunar eclipse – but this means endings, too. What needs to be removed, and what changes do you need to make? Look at your appearance, your home life and your relationships. Now is the time to take your courage and do what you have to do.

CANCER
Now is the time to use your sensitive nature rather than be overwhelmed by it. If there are any unfinished relationship issues, face them - especially if your family is involved. Say goodbye to what you no longer want in your life and welcome in new, rewarding friendships.

LEO
What do you long for? If your friends, groups and business associates don’t give you the support you deserve, now is the time to change your life. Take a leading role and more responsibility at work and in everything you do, and let everyone share your enthusiasm. Have fun!

VIRGO
Your career, reputation and how your local community sees you are the focus of the Lunar eclipse. You could be offered a new job or change your career in a new direction. Projects end, and new ones start. It's exciting, even if a little scary. It is time to go after what you want.

LIBRA
Think about furthering your studies, travelling abroad or working overseas. Meet up with people from different countries and cultures. This could lead to a new, exciting friendship and a new spiritual outlook, too. Health-wise, it's important that you get enough sleep and don’t allow stress to dominate your life.

SCORPIO

A revision of your finances might be necessary, especially if you have a business or love partner. Love-wise, it's time to take a relationship to a more intimate and committed level – or finish it completely. It's important you don’t become aggressive or lose patience with friends and colleagues.

9 December 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/9-december-2011 SAGITTARIUS
This is really your day. Your career is helped by your natural charm, and you can get away with anything. You’ll probably try to do far too much, your problem being not enough time. You need your love life to be flirtatious and fun rather than too serious.

CAPRICORN
Your work is the important issue. Use your creative talents in a serious way rather than being self-indulgent. Real prosperity and the good life are within easy reach. Don’t be so serious and hard-working that you get over-stressed. In love, do the unexpected.

AQUARIUS
Today you probably hide your determination to succeed at everything you do under an air of fun and socializing. Uranus, your personal planet, is bringing you new ideas so discuss and work them through. They could change your life. Love is not serious, but a lot of fun.

PISCES
Confusion reigns at home today. You don’t seem sure of where you want to be or what the future will bring. Relax, and focus on your strengths rather than weaknesses (we all have them, you aren’t unique). Don’t make any major decisions. Sex will happen when you have time.

ARIES
You're full of ideas, and it's all about freedom and fun. You need to consider which will work... and which are just pipe dreams. Do you need more knowledge to get them off the ground successfully? Love is one big party.

TAURUS

You would love to study or travel abroad to widen your knowledge and horizons, but finance is your main issue today. Luck is with you, and you should succeed at everything you set out to do. Think big. Love and sex become more and more fun.

GEMINI
You don’t need problems, hassles or anything too serious today as you are in butterfly mode. This means looking gorgeous and jumping from situation to situation. You don’t have the time for emotional pressure. Is this love, or are you more like friends?

CANCER
If you feel like everything is getting to be a bit too much, let friends lift your spirits – they are all ready to help. Try not to be too sensitive. Work-wise, you don’t need to tell everyone what is going on until you are sure of what you want. Love is unpredictable.

LEO
Pride comes before a fall, and you don’t want to be crushed, so instead of bossing everyone around, keep quiet and let people make their own mistakes. Keep your opinions light and fun. Using your creative talents will impress colleagues and bring in the money. Love is committed.

VIRGO
Your family probably have a lot to say about most aspects of your life. Be analytical, but also let your feelings and emotions have free rein so you don’t appear cold and critical. There are many creative opportunities opening up to you. Don’t make an instant decision. Love is both challenging and moody.

LIBRA
By combining friendliness with your quick mind you can turn your creativity into practical ideas that will help every area of your life. Look at yourself, your physical appearance, personality and your self-image. Now is the time to get your body fit and healthy. In love, you don’t need drama – just fun.

SCORPIO
Finance-wise, you hide your indecision under a cloak of determination. Just make sure that you don't lose a good opportunity because you haven’t made a decision. You probably aren’t feeling full of energy today. If this is the case, dream and let your fantasies loose.

8 December 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/8-december-2011 SAGITTARIUS
Doing too much? It’s great to be confident and optimistic, but even you can get tired and stressed. Studying to improve your skills and widen your horizons is easy now, so just take the plunge. Your dreams are very creative – what are they telling you? In love, you want it all.

CAPRICORN
Losing your self-confidence? Don’t run away from problems; face them. Life will be much easier in the end. Tension will be relieved by a healthy diet and exercise. Love-wise, you want luxury and pampering, but a sexual workout will reduce your stress levels, too.

AQUARIUS
You seem more tolerant of the people around you, even if they are not as organized and enthusiastic as you. Make a point today of mixing and exchanging ideas with friends and groups of like-minded people. You could learn a lot and have fun. Don’t fret if you have to change your plans; it’ll be for the best.

PISCES
If you aren’t sure of what’s going on or are feeling confused and uncertain, discuss with whoever is involved rather than just giving your opinion. Love is all about fantasy – enjoy! A serious relationship will be richer when you share common goals and boost each other’s ambitions.

ARIES
You are uncomfortable about being held back in the things you want to do, whether it's related to your career, your work or your love life. Love-wise, you don’t need complications - just loads of happy, earthy sex. You give your all at work knowing it will bring in the money.

TAURUS
You need romance in your life as well as sexual passion, so despite the intensity, your love life is extremely comforting. For success at work you should work to solve all the problems in a controlled way, but still use your creative talents.

GEMINI
You're very popular today because you show your affection in a sensitive way even when expressing unwelcome opinions. There are a few problems to deal with at home or with your family, especially if you are trying to renovate or move. Lovemaking is enjoyable, but not a priority.

CANCER
You might seem to be very amenable, but if pushed too far you are very capable of standing up for yourself. Meetings with business associates go well today and give a boost to your work, especially when you discuss your new ideas. Friends will lift you when your spirits get water-logged.

LEO
You aren’t going to change your mind for anyone today. You know exactly what you want from your career, and where you are heading (up!). Your creative talents and imagination are flowing – now you need the financial rewards. In love, let him know what you feel.

VIRGO
Should you go or should I stay? Travel, especially abroad, has great appeal but your home and family need you too. The worst thing you can do is worry or fret, so try to go with the flow but remember that your own needs are as important as everyone else’s. Have some fun.

LIBRA
Will you give in to your feelings and emotions, or will you try to use common sense? Both have their place, and balance is needed. What you do have to do is believe in everything yourself. Love is all about tactile, sensual experiences.

SCORPIO
Venus rules your relationships and today, the more sensitive and affectionate you are, the more addicted your man will become. At work you’ll easily reach the top if you put your mind to it. Talk to your business contacts to help you up the financial ladder.

7 December 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/7-december-2011 SAGITTARIUS
You seem to be in a very romantic mood today. You're still practical, but are able to give free rein to your artistic talents which will not only help your career aspirations but make you money, too. Love-wise, you are impulsive, but also loyal and devoted – a real friend as well as lover.

CAPRICORN
Your sharp intuition suggests you know exactly what everyone wants today which keeps you one step ahead of the game. You want your life to be more creative, so it’s a good time to study to enable you take the opportunities opening up. Love is predictable.

AQUARIUS
To do your best work, you need to be free from restrictions, ideally working from home. You have the qualifications and energy to be the boss, but is this what you want? You need someone to listen to you today. That will be a turn-on.

PISCES
You can heal and comfort everyone today as everything you say and do soothes and calms. You will have to ensure that you don’t become over-emotional about everyone’s troubles and problems. Don’t forget yourself: now is the time to heal your own wounds. In love, harmony rules.

ARIES
By using your usual forceful character combined with tact and charm, you can do and get whatever you want today. There are many opportunities to make money, but think carefully as you could make more by helping others. In love, fantasy rules.

TAURUS
You have the opportunity to heal a rift between you and a friend or colleague which you’ll find liberating, and you could learn something very important from the experience. Love is intense, but comforting.

GEMINI
A partnership could make you a bit nervous and tense. It is important to discuss, listen as well as give your opinions. This way you’ll succeed in everything you do – and could find the courage to take a few more risks with your life. Love is pure fun.

CANCER
Sweetness personified today, you are, nevertheless, very determined and even pushy when you want to be - especially with colleagues. A business trip or holiday is a good way to help you solve past problems and could open new doors. Love is all about pleasure.

LEO
To get further up the career ladder you need to join others to accomplish all your creative ideas. It’s all about teamwork. You’ll make more money that way, too, so be prepared to take a few risks with your usual way of working. Love is hot.

VIRGO

Nervous tension can get out of hand if you aren’t careful, but it does inspire you to work harder. Your home and family appreciate all the time you put in. Love-wise, you are in the mood for a long-term relationship, and a holiday or even a honeymoon is possible.

LIBRA
Charm rules today. You believe in yourself and in what you do, and you know exactly what to say to make the right impression. In fact, you could persuade everyone to follow your ideas. Love-wise, things could get a bit sentimental.

SCORPIO
Today is all about addiction – to work, your career and your man. Relax and take it easy – you don’t have to be so hard on yourself. Let others care for you for a change. Love-wise, let romance as well as passion rule. Team-work could make you more money than working alone.

6 December 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/6-december-2011 SAGITTARIUS
Your passions are roused in love and romance, and you're prepared to take more risks. Your judgment may not be accurate, though, so be extra careful and use your intuition. You’ll accomplish more through teamwork rather than going it alone.

CAPRICORN
A family problem could cause you some angst today. Don’t let it keep you awake, but talk it through with those concerned before it has a negative impact on your career aspirations. Think positively and be creative and you’ll soon come up with the answers.

AQUARIUS
A delay in your travel plans could cause frustration, but just go with the flow. The outcome could give you the time you need to sort out property or family matters. Friends and business associates give you great support, and passion rules your romantic life.

PISCES
Quiet and demure? Not today! At work your leadership skills make it easy for others to follow your ideas as you confidently find ways of earning more money for your business and yourself. You find it easy to take responsibility. Friends could introduce you to an exciting new man, so keep your eyes open.

ARIES
Try to be as sensitive as possible towards your colleagues as you need their cooperation to get everything finished. If not, you’ll end up disappointed and frustrated. Love-wise, you want your sex life to be as exciting and physical as possible.

TAURUS
Health matters are very important, and regular dental and medical checks, as well as a healthy diet and exercise plan, work together to make you fit and keep you in good shape. Taurus's love of all good things can put strain on your figure. Love is sensitive, passionate and romantic.

GEMINI
It's important for you to focus on your friends, colleagues and your lover rather than yourself today. The more you co-operate at work, the more you’ll achieve and the more you’ll benefit financially. Love is passionate – do you ever tire?

CANCER
The focus is not so much on you as on your friends, colleagues and everyone around you. Co-operate, and common goals will be much easier to achieve. Your health is good, but not if you overdo it or burn the candle at both ends. Love needs to be exciting and a bit naughty to satisfy today.

LEO
You want to be the leader of the pack, and you have the enthusiasm and self-confidence. First, however, you must learn to be a bit more detached in order to become a real leader. Saturn encourages you to make your creative ideas more practical. A romance at work could become a battle field.

VIRGO
Luck is with you, bringing new opportunities for a trip abroad or studying to further your knowledge. Your romantic partner has ideas for some exciting adventures, but don’t ignore invitations from friends and colleagues. Tension at home needs to be sorted before it gets out of hand.

LIBRA
Your home is the place to be as your family provide the support and the fun and your home, the security and peace. This is a good time to start decorating or renovating – even bringing in a new pot plant or flowers will help. In love, you don’t need arguments, just love and some warm, exciting sex.

SCORPIO
This is the time to improve relationships with family and friends. You don’t have to go far to socialize. Opportunities are opening up for you to get involved in local community affairs which could lead to other exciting business ventures. Love is lusty, but hard work.

4 December 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/4-december-2011 SAGITTARIUS
It's time to relax, do what you want to do and have some fun by making your work more creative and giving your talents free reign. You have great new ideas – don’t keep them to yourself. Be experimental, both at work and in your love life. Sex needs to be vigorous.

CAPRICORN
Any tension and stress can be helped by your man. Give in for once, and let him give you guidance. It could have amazing results. Do your present living arrangements suit your needs and individuality, and what could you do to make them better? You have the energy and enthusiasm, so go for it.

AQUARIUS

Your creative juices are really flowing. Romance is in the air, and you are full of ideas to make your social life more interesting. Your acting abilities are just waiting to be let loose which should make your love life more exciting, too. Let your imagination free at work, and your finances will improve.

PISCES
You have bags of self-confidence at the moment, and everyone respects your independent spirit, encouraging you and helping you move higher up the career ladder. This means a more solid bank balance too. You might pretend to be sweet and demure, but he knows better.

ARIES
Your independent spirit, zany ideas and exhaustive energy mean you’ll go far – but will you get anyone else’s support? Probably not, but that won't stop you. Follow your heart wherever it takes you. Love is fierce.

TAURUS
Today you are an odd mix of being powerful and needing to spend time alone. Is this where you give yourself space to think things through? Whatever way, success is yours. Give time to a friend or a family member who needs your help.

GEMINI
Friends and business associates will listen and help you find new ways of achieving your goals. You probably need to discuss your ideas in a serious way, so listen and learn. Joining business groups and associations will help too. In love, style over substance rules today.

CANCER
Don’t expect peace and quiet today unless you are very lucky. Spontaneity is the theme, so investigate your ideas, no matter how unusual or even life-changing they might be. Sound them out on your more enthusiastic friends, and don’t let anyone dampen your spirits. In love, don’t be suspicious.

LEO
Are you as sexy as you make out? A little bit of naughtiness will add spice to your warm, romantic nature. Making new friends is exciting today as you meet people from different cultures, broadening your knowledge. New ideas will pep up your daily business routine.

VIRGO

You might not feel totally confident today, but yet you are still a dream employee. You might let others take some of the credit for success at work, though, rather than hog it all for yourself – unless, of course, you did all the work. You're in highly sensual mode today, and your man will find you irresistible.

LIBRA
Love is unpredictable today. Either you or he could end the relationship, but if you make it through to this evening, you’ll be able to make peace. A new love could be with someone completely different to your usual man. Will it last? An exciting idea for working from home could be a winner.

SCORPIO
There is a bit of a lack of warmth in your relationships today – sex is good, but where is the love? You are far more focussed on your work and getting to grips with your daily routine. Health questions need answering as you look for new ways to get fit.

5 December 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/5-december-2011 SAGITTARIUS
Mars is the dominant planet today, bringing great physical enjoyment and passion to your love life. However, there could be an argument with a woman if she disagrees with one of your ideas. Try not to overreact. Promote others as well as yourself.

CAPRICORN
Flights could be delayed and your trip postponed under the Mars/Sun hard aspect. The trick is not to let yourself get stressed, but to go with the flow. Tomorrow is another day – just find a way round the problem. You are a highly sexual woman; he’s a very lucky man.

AQUARIUS
Your time is being taken up by financial concerns – paying taxes, bills and collecting money owed. You have the energy, but need to think before you speak so that you don’t upset anyone. Being domestic doesn’t hold any charms today, and raunchy, exotic sex will help use up excess energy.

PISCES
Call on colleagues and associates to help you today. You’ll achieve far more than when working on your own. Don’t let your anger about a situation build up - talk and discuss before it gets out of hand. Some quiet time with just you and your favourite man will help.

ARIES
You want to do just what you want, without thinking of anyone else. If you want to go abroad you’ll book a ticket even if it upsets your partner and your career. In the end, though, you might suffer more stress and headaches than you thought. Even in your love life, narcissism rules and the sex is fantastic.

TAURUS
Everything you do today will have a touch of drama about it including work, your social life, and playing sport. Enthusiasm rules; just don’t take too many risks. Romance is entered into with the same vitality, but avoid too much indulgence in everything from food to un-protected sex.

GEMINI
You seem a bit tense today, especially over your home and family matters. Don’t be too impulsive. Ask your friends and business associates for help, tell them your problems and come up with answers that suit everyone. Sex is strenuous and fun, but he has to be a friend, too.

CANCER
Try not to get into an argument with one of your siblings or a teacher. Self-control will help to keep you calm. Your nervous system is on edge today, and hard work and physical exercise will help. Let your man give you the loving support you need to heal your body, mind and spirit.

LEO
As long as you can control your ego, you’ll make far more money when you work with others as you have the most exciting and innovative ideas. Avoid arguments; you can turn them into lively discussions instead. Love is warm and sexual as your optimism and zest for life rubs off on to him.

VIRGO
Be careful when driving and using sharp implements. You do everything in such a rush you could easily have an accident. Arguments with colleagues, friends and partners should be avoided as they will stress you out. Work with your man, and love will be creative.

LIBRA

Love is very physical at the moment – lucky you! Someone from your past could turn up at your door or a past action you’d prefer to forget returns to haunt you. Don’t sulk or stay away; just deal with it in a confident manner. Give yourself some TLC; you deserve it.

SCORPIO
You will probably get very irritable today if things don’t go exactly according to your plans. You might find solace in getting stuck into some boring routine work rather than letting yourself get really mad. You're passionate, and might be a bit too demanding today for your man – or any man, for that matter.

3 December 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/3-december-2011 SAGITTARIUS
Mars is making you unusually ambitious, and you want to be seen as powerful, strong and assertive. The problem is you are a bit too competitive, and your impulsive actions could upset your colleagues as well as your boss. Divert this energy towards your creative talents for a win-win situation.

CAPRICORN
You don’t want anyone to disagree with your viewpoint today. You might decide to book a flight and dash off without telling anyone, and your ideas could be inspired by someone from a different cultural background. You might even take up a new religion or philosophy. Avoid accidents or dangerous situations.

AQUARIUS
Try to keep calm about your financial situation, especially if you're forced to borrow money to pay back debts. Don’t let finances get out of hand, especially in a business partnership. Love matters are best kept to yourself – they are no-one else’s business but your own.

PISCES
Joint ventures and business partnerships should work well, as long as you remember to discuss all important decisions and not go it alone. Otherwise there’ll be arguments which could get out of hand. Your love life needs common goals. Don’t be too pushy.

ARIES
There is conflict between your need for freedom to do whatever you want and the work that you know must be done. If you get stressed or angry, you could have an accident or get a headache. As long as you take pride in everything you do you’ll be fine. In love, for once you need him to comfort you.

TAURUS
Everything you do today will be carried out with enthusiasm, and you'll give it your all, whether making money for yourself and your business, having fun or making love. You could easily overindulge in food, alcohol or even exercise. Cool it a bit. Even your love life seems to be a workout.

GEMINI
Your energy will be directed towards your home and family, shifting furniture, cleaning and organizing it all to suit you. You probably won’t take any advice but just expect everyone to follow your lead. Great if you live alone, but expect an argument if you share your space with others. There is no time for lovemaking.

CANCER
You know exactly what you want everyone to do, but as Mars is spoiling for a fight, you’ll have to work hard to keep the peace. Your mind is quick and you have great ideas. The trick is to use diplomacy to get everyone on your side, especially your neighbours and siblings. Love is passionate.

LEO

Devote your time and energy towards your business and finances, but don’t expect everyone to cooperate if you are too impatient and abrupt. Buckets of diplomacy and charm are needed. Also, be a bit cautious in financial dealings – unwise investments could lead to money loss. Love is a little too intense.

VIRGO
You want to be mistress of your own destiny, but you can’t expect your family to go along with every demand. You have greater influence when you use charm and diplomacy, and consider their needs and feelings as well as your own. Love-wise, he’ll be just as demanding.

LIBRA
If he is a bit too demanding, spend time with one of your siblings or neighbours. At work, meetings will be successful, though you might come across as if only your opinions have any meaning. You have bags of charm – use it.

SCORPIO
You want to be part of a team or a group, if you aren’t careful today, you’ll come across as aggressive and too assertive. They might not understand that your intention is to make life better for everyone. An argument with a man is likely. Cool it, unless you're with your partner. It could really stimulate your sex life.

You might feel you can’t control your life today. If so, become more competitive and don't let anyone get in your way. The truth is, though, that you’ll actually achieve more as part of a group. It’s lonely when there is noone to share your problems with. Your family will provide comfort, and your man will bring romance.

CAPRICORN
Love, loyalty and charm are your strengths. Everyone is noticing you now, so check your appearance and use your people skills. Your creative talents will give a boost to your career aspirations too. Be daring and let your fantasies free at work - and with your man.

AQUARIUS

Today is all about money matters. You don’t have to let everyone know your personal business, but business associates and financial experts will have some good ideas. Pay attention to the small details, like paying bills and collecting money owed. When it comes to love, erotica is a turn-on.

PISCES
Whether it's with friends or lovers your energy is focussed on interaction and the way you are inspired by everyone around you. You’ll get much more done when working with your colleagues. A new business partnership could give a boost to your career aspirations. Don't let love be only about you and your needs.

ARIES
The focus is on health. It could be your own, but probably that of someone close who needs your support. You have the energy and the enthusiasm, both for your work for helping others. Just don’t lose your cool when not everyone wants your advice. You seem more maternal, even soft, towards your man, and he loves it.

TAURUS
Let your creative talents help you develop ways of making more money for your business, and try not to become too intense. Luck is with you, so go with the flow instead of trying to control everything. Take a few risks in your romantic life, and enjoy the moment.

GEMINI
There is a bit of tension today. Are you spending too much time at work and ignoring your romantic life or is it the opposite? Balance is needed. Mars says your family and home need more attention, too, and that it’s a good time to set up a business venture. Love is intriguing.

CANCER
Conflict between you, your home life and work could make you lose your cool today. It could even cause an accident. Showing interest in your friends and colleagues will bring more peace and cooperation, and you won’t be left with a tension headache. Love feels like an escape into your fantasy world.

LEO
It isn’t that you are fickle, it’s just that you enjoy lots of friends. As long as your lover gives you space today, you’ll remain loyal and romantic. Your creative imagination is flowing, but Mars wants you to spend more time on organizing your finances. Find a balance.

VIRGO
The pursuit of love is on your terms, but if you can avoid getting impatient, restless and talking too much, sex will be sensational. Controlling your finances is difficult at the moment as there seems to be so many bills, accounts and things to buy for your house and family. Prioritize.

LIBRA
Health matters take up your time. If you’ve been neglecting your health, or over-indulging in the wrong foods, you could feel the results now. Binge drinking and excess sugar aren't a good idea today or this coming weekend. Love is wickedly compulsive. Enjoy!

SCORPIO
Pushing only for what you want to do and pursuing your own pleasure without regarding anyone else could lead to confrontation, and you need your friends and associates on your side. Just as you think you’ve sorted out your finances, something else crops up. Don’t make big decisions today.

Your daily routine and schedules might have to be changed. Don’t overreact and get angry or your health could be adversely affected. Being more objective and detached from your own and your colleague's emotions will help. In love, your imagination rules.

CAPRICORN
Working as part of a group will make you feel comfortable as the sense of belonging works its magic, and you’ll find it easier to explain your ideas. Don’t be too easily influenced by them. You’ll probably prefer to spend some time alone or at home with your partner in an atmosphere that is warm, intimate and satisfying.

AQUARIUS
Your independent spirit is interested in everything new, innovative and progressive but you still need to be appreciated. Just know that, no matter what, you are loved and admired - especially by your colleagues and groups with similar interests. You're anti-social tonight, and only your man can intrude.

PISCES
It's time to listen to your intuition, especially where your career is concerned, so that you don’t worry without reason but head straight for your vision. Someone from abroad or your teacher gives you important information which will help your future. Love is emotional, but a lot of fun.

CANCER

You are looking for relaxation, comfort as well as sensitive lovemaking this evening, especially if you’ve been hard at work both at home and in the office. Tiredness is a problem – use creative alternative ideas to feel better (a new way of meditating, massage or indulging in your latest artistic hobby).

LEO
Everyone gives you their loyalty and admiration today, possibly because your latest ideas are both scientific as well as creative, and could really make some money for your business as well as yourself. Your power to amuse everyone helps when you are entertaining at home. Keep your temper under control today.

VIRGO
You might think you are being rational and objective, but could really be overreacting to your emotions and feelings. You are more than sensitive now that your personal planet, Mercury, is moving retrograde so try not to be too touchy and vulnerable. Let him take the lead in the bedroom.

LIBRA
This is a day for self-indulgence – in chocolate, retail therapy and in love… You are able to talk with enthusiasm which makes everyone sit up and listen, but with Mercury retrograde you need to be very sure of your facts and figures. You need something (or someone?) new to stimulate your love life.

SCORPIO
You walk into the room as if you own it – but not everyone appreciates this trait, especially not other women. Cool it a bit, and everyone will be on your side. Love is intensely sexual. Be extra careful when it comes to advice on finances and investments. Get a second opinion.

Innovative ideas, especially for making money through a joint venture, work well. Be methodical, and don’t rush into anything. This is a good time to investigate business loans.

GEMINI
Your need for a close love connection might be almost overwhelming today, so keep it light and romantic.

A family matter, maybe to do with an inheritance, is quite intense.

You might not be your most faithful today as having a vigorous sexual connection seems more important. You don’t want to hurt your man, so be careful and don’t do anything you might later regret. Your work needs close attention to detail, and serious consideration of new and innovative ideas.

LEO
You and your man seem a bit stressed and unusually possessive of one another. You need your sexual fantasies to become real. Go for it! A trip abroad is possible, either for business or a holiday.

Your creative talents are more innovative and exciting than usual. Your warmth when speaking to clients and everyone else makes you very successful as you can both glean and give out information. This spills over into your love life and friendships. Your enthusiasm is a real turn-on for your man.

SCORPIO
You are in sentimental mode, looking for emotional security through the things you value most in a dramatic, obsessive way. Luckily, your intuition is so strong you will know when to hold back. Your creative force is extreme right now, and you will scare a lesser man away if you aren’t careful.

SAGITTARIUS

The Sun moves into your own sign today, and it's time to take a long hard look at yourself,  improve or update your self-image and take pride in everything you do. What are your goals? Are you achieving them? This is your time – in love, in health and in life.

 

CAPRICORN

As the Sun moves into Sagittarius, you won’t have to prove your worth – this is the time for your private life to be perfect. You now have the opportunity to look at your unconscious motivations, becoming more open and more sensitive to your own needs as well as to those of everyone around you.

 

AQUARIUS              

The Sagittarian Sun encourages you to be more aggressive in seeking financial rewards for your work efforts, but you’ll also be far more generous with your money, your time and your friends. You’ll be an inspiration. In love, there are no hang ups today.

 

PISCES

Is your life going in the direction you want it to? Look at your long-term ambitions, and whether you're achieving them. Think about what you can do to make improvements. Your relationship with those in authority is important, and your attitude is key. Love-wise, today you seem ultra sensitive. Try appealing to his emotions.

 

ARIES

You are in an adventurous mood now that the Sun has moved into Sagittarius, and your imagination soars. Just about everything you dream can be achieved if you keep your mind on it. It's all about the journey, so live your life to the fullest. Love is a wild and exciting challenge.

 

TAURUS 

The Sun in Sagittarius promotes empathy. Don’t deny real intimacy; take the risk of getting hurt. It's all about transformation. You may want to learn new skills to make yourself more financially independent. Avoid being too demanding and critical.

 

GEMINI

You use every trick in the book to get others to help and co-operate with you, and you're stronger and more forceful than ever. Today you show great charm, and everyone is willing to help. Love has to be romantic - and financially beneficial - if you are to agree to the long-term.

 

CANCER  

Everyday tasks will be carried out with care and efficiency, both at work and at home. Look at what motivates you and follow your heart if you want a happy, healthy life. Try not to be afraid of being hurt. Being open and honest in your relationships always wins.

 

LEO    

The move of the Sun into Sagittarius puts the emphasis on romance, your sense of humour, your imagination and on having as much fun as possible. Using your creative talents will make all your projects successful. Socialize, entertain and make energetic love.

 

VIRGO

The focus of your energy this coming month will be on your domestic life and family relationships. You’ll want to take a greater role in the decision-making, and if living with your family, you may decide to move into your own place. Love-wise, you seek perfection, but is it possible?

 

LIBRA 

The Sun’s move into Sagittarius encourages the flow of ideas and information and your interest in computers, new software and buying a car, grows. You will probably be busier, socializing and having business meetings as well as becoming interested in local community affairs. Sex is experimental.

 

SCORPIO

The Sun’s move into Sagittarius puts the emphasis on achieving your monetary goals. What can you do to improve your finances? Your self-esteem is vital. Do you value yourself enough? Only be with friends who boost rather than bring you down. The same goes for lovers.

21 November 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/21-november-2011 SCORPIO
Only the very best will do for you today, and you want to be seen at all the coolest places. If not, you’ll prefer to spend time at home thinking of ways to transform your life and share your power. In love, is any man strong enough for your present energy?

SAGITTARIUS
Looking for a new partner? You could be lucky today. Get out there, socialize with friends and business associates and join a group or a sports club. He has to be on your intellectual wavelength, though, or you’ll soon get bored. It’s time to promote your career now, but don’t overload yourself.

CAPRICORN
Your emotions are not exactly stable today, and you feel as if you are on a roller coaster. You want your friends and family around you, but you don’t feel very warm towards them. How do you think they feel? Perhaps it's best to concentrate on your career. Try to see the big picture today.

AQUARIUS
Bored and ready to move on? If you and your man don’t stimulate each other in every way (intellectually as well as sexually), you might as well say goodbye - tolerance and sympathy only go so far. A joint business venture works well.

PISCES
You need romance and glamour to satisfy your buzzing libido, but your emotional sensitivity might turn your man off. Relax in a warm bath with loads of scented oils, candlelight and soft music for the soul. This is a good day to discuss promotions or other career opportunities, either here or abroad.

ARIES
You are in helpful mode, especially towards your business partner and lover – as long as everyone does everything your way. Try not to get angry because they have their own opinions – you might learn something valuable. An overseas trip needs planning.

TAURUS
At work and at home your artistic talents are working magic, and when you use them in your love life, you take your romance to another level. You are usually an optimist, and even more so today so nothing should get you down for long. Spread your magic to everyone you meet.

GEMINI
What are you trying to prove - that you are the wittiest, most enterprising woman with both a clever business sense and love of socializing? You are, so you don’t have to prove anything. Love-wise, there might not be much time or energy left for lovemaking today.

CANCER
After a day spent doing all the boring office and home chores you aren’t in the mood for anything ordinary in your love life – you want something far more interesting, liberal and erotic. You’d better warn your man before he falls asleep in front of the TV.

LEO

Entertaining friends is not about a clean carpet and dust-free table, it's about laughing, eating and talking. Get to really know your friends, and move beyond the superficial. Show that you do care. This is a good time to discuss changes you want to make to your career. You’ll see the success in the New Year.

VIRGO
You could come across as an intellectual snob today who is rather aloof and superior. You need a fire sign friend to jog you into having fun and a water friend to help you show some emotion. Everything should be moving along well, so loosen up and love.

LIBRA
You like a serene, calm Ms Libra – but what is going on inside? You want a peaceful and tranquil life, but ambition rules. You try to be the kindest, most considerate person today, but is this coming from the heart or your mind? Be real. Erotic sex satisfies.

20 November 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/20-november-2011 SCORPIO
Don’t give in to emotional pressure, but take your time to check everything out first - especially if you're involved in any kind of property negotiations. You could easily make an error of judgment. Listening to music will help you relax and soothe your soul. In love, too, it's time to take back your power.

SAGITTARIUS
Today is all about practical romance and being realistic without losing your charm and vivacity. You might have to make some compromises in your approach to love and sex. At work, make sure you get all the facts and figures as accurate as possible as mistakes could easily happen.

CAPRICORN

Confusion in your financial affairs could end up as a loss if you aren’t careful. Research and get as much information as you can. It's vital you keep to your strong personal values and don’t compromise. Love is hot. Let him take the lead for once.

AQUARIUS
Whatever you do, don’t give in to feelings of self-pity. Instead, let your maturity and healthy self-image rule. You might lose sight of reality a bit today. Just tune in to your intuition and let common sense have free reign. Don’t be critical of your man if he disagrees with you. Give your fantasies free reign.

PISCES
You are going to need a very clear head and to take extra care in everything you do, from driving to cooking, if you are to avoid accidents. At work, concentrate and double check everything so you don’t let errors slip through. Love is exhausting.

ARIES
Normally you would have an eye for detail, but today a few mistakes and errors could creep in. Be very accurate, especially when dealing with clients or business associates. Don’t break up a friendship or love relationship without having a very good reason.

TAURUS
Your sex life seems totally erotic and sensual. At work, though, you could feel a bit confused about whether or not your career is going in the right direction. Don’t make any snap decisions you might regret later. Wait a while and think very carefully.

GEMINI
You are in the mood for some energetic, tempestuous sex – but what mood is your man in? Generally you want new experiences, a greater understanding of everything, and to travel – but you must be careful of being too idealistic and even fanatical. Keep to a solid daily routine.

CANCER
Your nerves could easily be shattered today, especially if you find that you and your partner have totally different ideas about money, personal values and honesty. Take time out to do nothing but rest and build up your strength so that you are ready to deal with everything.

LEO
You could have a hard time trying to live up to everyone’s expectations. It’s impossible to do, so don’t even bother. Don’t expect too much from your partner either. Just be yourself, and let him be his own self. Enjoy some invigorating lust.

VIRGO
Make sure you have clear instructions about what is expected of you at work today so that you don’t spend hours doing something that wastes your precious time and energy. Don’t experiment with drugs, alcohol or fad diets today. Criticizing his sexual prowess is a total turn-off.

LIBRA
You aren’t your warmest today, so watch what you say before you upset someone. You are in danger of losing your sense of humour and money, too, so avoid putting yourself in a dangerous situation. Love is sweet and tender rather than hot.

19 November 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/19-november-2011 SCORPIO
Be careful of misunderstandings or deceit when negotiating to rent or sell your property as not everyone is honest. Watch out for leaking pipes or taps. Someone with a drug problem could cause you angst. Don’t lose your temper with your man – you need his love today.

SAGITTARIUS
Your personal planet is bringing you confidence and positive thoughts, but the Sun is warning you to slow down when talking or you could get muddled, say the wrong thing and upset everyone. Make sure your facts are correct, and stick to them. Love-wise, be the practical romantic.

CAPRICORN
Your practical ideas combined with your creative talents have great potential, but today be careful of people who might be out to cheat you. Keep a very close eye on your wallet and credit cards, and don’t get taken in by a fast talker. Your love relationship is great, but could be a bit boring today.

AQUARIUS
Don’t expect your man (or friends or colleagues) to agree with everything you say or want to do. You are ready to take a few risks, but are they? Be sensitive and inspiring if you want your own way. At least in your love life you let him have some say.

PISCES
Take care today as Neptune, your personal planet, is warning of potential danger when travelling or related to a stranger as your judgment may not be strong. Nothing is certain, but be alert to all possibilities without dampening your spirits. Love-wise, extravagance rules.

ARIES
A friend might need your help, but are you ready to give it? Use your quick mind to analyse the situation before deciding, especially if this is a new acquaintance. You want action today, and you have the optimism and self-confidence, so go for it. Love-wise, he finds you exciting, but what about you?

TAURUS
This whole month is all about love, passion and romance, but don't forget to use your creative talents at work. When you combine creativity with your daily routine, it’s a total winner. Your love life improves when you feel you can trust and share. Today, let romance rule.

GEMINI
Your home life is important – are you moving house or starting a new business venture? Be decisive, and take the lead. There are some emotional issues to be talked through with your family. Your present love will help you be more positive about everything, so stop feeling unappreciated.

CANCER
A lot is going on today – at home, in your neighbourhood and with your siblings. It’s all about communication; what you say and how you say it, including e-mailing and social networking. You don’t have much time to stop and think. Watch out for accidents. In love, there are no holds barred.

LEO

Rather than spending on big items on the spur of the moment, take your time and research first. Just because a car is sexy doesn’t mean it’s a must have. Luck is with you though, and your charm will get you everywhere today – especially with your man.

VIRGO
You are in sentimental rather than passionate mode today, and good taste is preferred to raunchy lust. Your intellectual interests dominate your working day, too, and you are more concerned with your own personal needs and goals.

LIBRA
You could be a bit concerned that something you did in the past will catch up with you, causing a bit of gossip. Keep a low profile and your sense of humour handy. You’ll also accomplish far more at work when working alone, behind the scenes.

18 November 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/18-november-2011 SCORPIO
You are still full of self-confidence, but are you overdoing the complacency? There will be some changes to your schedule, but don’t lose your cool. Accept and fit in. If there is an awkward emotional situation you’ll have to be realistic and honest, but in the nicest possible way.

SAGITTARIUS
Your personal planet, Jupiter, is still in good aspect to Mars but you do seem to be pushing the limits. If self-confidence becomes over-confidence you could upset your colleagues. Keep some of your opinions to yourself. In love, your loyalty is appreciated, but don't take too much power.

CAPRICORN
Your self-confidence is now combined with the self-control of your personal planet, Saturn, and you’ll achieve even more than you thought was possible. Use your creative talents together with your usual common sense and the financial rewards will soon become evident. In love, there is more happening than you care to admit.

AQUARIUS
Intensity relating to your home and family means all your self-confidence is needed to sort out problems. Socializing with friends is important, and singles, there is a good chance of meeting someone special. Career-wise, business associates help you achieve, but expect a change in your plans.

PISCES
As is usual at the moment you feel a bit confused about the future. Use your self-confidence and positive spirit to take you in the right direction. Rely on your intuition for direction if you receive conflicting advice. In love, let him provide the romance while you supply the humour.

ARIES
If you need money, you’ll probably get better help from the men in your life than the women. Just don’t push too far or it’ll have the opposite effect. Warning: overspending is a no-no. Adventure calls, and you might be about to embark on an overseas trip.

TAURUS
The planets are telling you to relax, not to inflexible and to let yourself have some fun. You’ll feel energized and confident in all areas of your life especially your work, making money and business partnerships.

GEMINI
Rather than feeling sorry for yourself and unsure of the future, take time out with your man and discuss everything that is worrying you. Don’t whine, just be your usual, bubbly self. Your innate sense of humour wins the day – and the man.

CANCER
If you want your career to move ahead, it's time to discuss your work and future with those who matter including your boss, colleagues and business associates. When you show your self- confidence and energy, it will rub off on them. Come on, put on your happy, smiley face.

LEO
Despite the Moon, Mars and Jupiter all working to your benefit, the Sun (your ruler) is bringing a bit of tension. This can either make you work harder and more successfully, or make you over-tired. Balance is needed. Love-wise, can your ego get any bigger?

VIRGO
Your optimism and self-confidence are stimulating all areas of your life, but you could find them quite tiring. An early night or doing something that takes your mind completely off your work will help re-charge those batteries. Love is stimulating.

LIBRA
You’ll accomplish more from behind-the-scenes. Use your positive attitude as you check joint finances, pay bills, collect money owed and gather knowledge so you earn more money. A request for a bank or other loan should be successful. Love-making should be relaxing.

Life is more than meeting your expectations as you are reaching your career goals with the help of your business associates and colleagues - and are having a lot of fun in the process. You even treat your love life as a banquet for two. You could over-load your schedule, though, so don’t take on too much.

SAGITTARIUS
If you are looking for promotion or a new job, today is the ideal time to put yourself forward. Don’t take it for granted that you’ll succeed, but the prospects look very good as your confidence and cooperative spirit show through. Vigorous sex would be welcome.

CAPRICORN
You need your partner to be as stylish and ambitious as you, and love will flourish. You want to mix with powerful people to add to your own stature. Channel your energy into your work and career, and you’ll soon achieve your goals.

AQUARIUS
Your enthusiasm is mainly to do with money and property, especially if your family is involved. This is a very good time to start a new business venture, or even to take your career in a new direction. Love is generous, passionate and very energetic.

PISCES
Your enthusiasm is directed at widening your circle of contacts and exchanging ideas and information. A neighbourhood meeting will be successful as you have something worthwhile to say. Don’t be shy. Love-wise, you don’t need other people; just your favourite man.

ARIES
With your personal planet, Mars, in good aspect to Jupiter you really will have to take care of your money as the temptation to spend is greater than ever. Leave your credit cards at home. Find ways to increase your income through saving, and try to be faithful.

TAURUS
Romance is great fun. You feel free, and somehow released from personally restricting influences of your own making. You must avoid too much indulgence in all the good things as you need a healthy image at the moment. Your libido is buzzing.

GEMINI
Moving home, gathering up all your personal possessions and organizing your domestic arrangements are the focus. You have the strength and energy to achieve everything you want as well as the confidence to know what is right for you, so don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Love is a dream.

CANCER
Your enthusiasm and positive energy when talking to business associates will more than meet your expectations and make you highly successful. You could sell snow to Eskimos today. Socially, this is a fun day too. In love, who is teaching who?

LEO
You’ll not only succeed, career-wise, at everything you do, but you’ll make more money too. Your confidence rises and you know that you can do anything and everything you want with your life. Your love life is the only battleground – keep your ego to yourself.

VIRGO
Watch out for jealousy; you don’t need it in your life. Focus on your self-confidence, your beauty and your femininity. You can achieve anything and everything from studying to travel, and you even take a few risks as luck is with you and everyone is on your side.

LIBRA
Love-wise, this is a day for singles to flirt and to play hard-to-get. Those in a committed relationship might have to focus on joint income, property and paying debts. Sexual enjoyment is possible as long as your keep it light and fun.

Your positivity today means you’ll obtain the recognition you want and deserve - as long as you keep your emotions in check. If you let arrogance show through, you could miss out big time. Your emotional warmth is enough in your love life; you don’t need dramatic gestures.

SAGITTARIUS
Your ego needs to be kept under wraps, and power should be used with wisdom. It won’t hurt to say sorry sometimes. At work, visualize your goals, and you’ll achieve them sooner than you think. Love seems to be an unbreakable bond as long as you aren’t OTT.

CAPRICORN

You can easily fulfil all your obligations today if you put your mind to it, but don’t expect anyone to thank you. There are many opportunities out there, so take them and show the world your power. Let your man satisfy your emotional needs as well as providing some mega sex.

AQUARIUS
The Moon is bringing you good luck today, but that doesn’t mean you don’t have to work hard or fulfil your obligations. Although you're a bit of a loner, today it is your colleagues and business associates who help you realise your ambitions. Love is about pure passion.

PISCES
It is necessary for you to feel emotionally connected to your work, and you need people around you today. Try not to become too entangled in anyone else’s problems. Be supportive in a practical way or you’ll become stressed yourself. Your man should keep the romance alive.

ARIES
Everyone takes you very seriously today as they see your need for success in everything you do. They like and admire you, and will contribute to your good luck - though also add to your responsibilities. Love-wise, you expect your man to give you all the loving support you need - does he?

TAURUS
You are in 'earth mother mode' - warm, sensual and naturally loving. As you drop any stiffness, you realise just how many friends you really do have. Your loyalty makes you a great friend, but not everyone is cut from the same cloth. Don’t get upset by their fickleness. Raunchy sex satisfies.

GEMINI
Patience is needed, but with time and loving attention he could become just the partner you’ve been dreaming about. In the meantime, he’s probably your best friend. Getting on with your work is key. Use all your ideas, and research what you need to know on the net. Your charm works wonders.

CANCER
While you search for that ideal man to take care of you, you are quite happy to be seen as just one of the crowd. Underneath your sweet smiles, of course, you are very independent, strong and passionate. Making the money you need through your work is easy today – the stars are with you.

LEO
The Moon in your own sign, Leo, makes you more ambitious and forceful than usual. Use your instincts to know when to rush in and when to let others make their point. Your creative talents will impress everyone today, and lovemaking could be rough and tough.

VIRGO
You probably feel like spending a few hours alone, especially if your favourite man is with you. More than a little lust will be very satisfying. You can access great sources of inner wisdom, and will have to decide whether or not to share these insights or keep them for later.

LIBRA
Let your creative, artistic talents have free reign at work, with colleagues and associates – and take your friendships up a few notches, too. Fun and laughter when making love with your man will inspire him. Pretend it is a secret one-night-stand, even if you’ve been together for months.

15 November 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/15-november-2011 SCORPIO
You’ll probably have difficulty dealing with cold, hard facts today as you filter everything through your feelings. It's probably best if you don’t even try, but wait until tomorrow or you’ll just get stressed out. Your personal popularity is rising – a new man on the scene for you singles? Hope he’s erotic enough for you.

SAGITTARIUS
Mars enters your personal planet, Jupiter, today bringing you more energy to cope with the multitude of tasks awaiting you. Your competitive spirit wins today, and you can do anything and everything. Opposites attract, which can work as long as your emotions are in sync.

CAPRICORN
Your feelings for everyone around you are more intense than usual, encouraging you to do as much as you can to help wherever necessary. This could leave you a bit tired and even stressed out – let your man provide the comfort you need.

AQUARIUS
You seem more inspired than usual at work, but you know this will help your career aspirations, so put even more effort in. Business colleagues and associates will find you very helpful – and you’ll achieve far more than usual. Love-wise, you want it wild.

PISCES
You manage to put out an air of serenity which hides some turbulence lurking beneath the surface. You do want everyone to love you, but you seem more than usually confused about the future. Is there a moral or ethical issue that needs to be discussed with your man? If it works, it could be life-changing.

ARIES
Your personal planet, Mars, is making you confident, energetic and very successful. However, you could be very demanding and critical of your partner and your family, and think you’ll be happier if you travel or move overseas. Ask yourself what you really want long-term.

TAURUS
Be your beautiful feminine self, keep in touch with your friends and participate in community projects. Having the same goals and values as your man will make your relationship much easier. In love matters, try not to be too intense, but keep it all light and fun.

GEMINI
Having money in the bank brings you a feeling of security, but this doesn’t mean you can’t pay your way or forget to take a bottle of wine to the dinner party. Love-wise, now is the time to focus on your partner rather than on yourself. He’ll appreciate you all the more.

CANCER
You might not be in the mood for housework today, but who cares? You are in the mood to help, comfort and support anyone in trouble which is far more important than an unmade bed. Don’t forget to give your man some of this loving care too.

LEO
Use your sense of humour to stop you becoming too heavy and self-centred. Social events or a risk-taking adventure will help keep you buoyant and light-hearted, especially if there is stress between you and your partner. Yours effort at work will be noticed, and will help your career prospects.

VIRGO
What is your mood today? Don’t let your emotions get the better of your common sense, especially when dealing with business associates. Let the Mars energy make you feel positive and successful rather than argumentative. Your partner understands, and lends you his support.

LIBRA
Socialize and be in touch with friends, neighbours, siblings and other members of your family today. Their sense of humour makes you feel great, and adds to your sense of belonging. Great sex works too. At work you seem concerned with your salary, but don’t overreact.

You're eager to expand your knowledge and broaden your horizons by travelling abroad, and will feel happier if you do this with your partner or friends than alone. Check that your car and computer equipment are in tip-top condition. Go for an erotic as well as a prosperous love match.

SAGITTARIUS
Don’t waste your energy on the impossible – if you know your present relationship isn’t working for you, don’t hang on, hoping it’s more than just a fling. You deserve the best. Remember that energy follows thought, so visualise who and what you want, and take practical steps to find the right person or job.

CAPRICORN
You need to give and be given loads of love and nurturing today. Use all your mothering instincts at work, with friends and especially your man, but let everyone know you want to be cared for, too. Don’t be too proud - ask for help if necessary.

AQUARIUS
You might change your ideas about being such an independent woman, and think seriously about committing yourself long-term to your partner. Does he make your heart sing? If so, your life will be transformed. Business partnerships will also feel stronger and even more inspired.

PISCES
Your sensitivity shines through everything you do today, but that doesn’t mean anyone can walk over you and push you around. Take your power in a courteous, considerate way, and stand up for yourself when necessary. Love has no limitations.

ARIES
You need some peace and quiet to soothe your soul today. Spending time alone at home or with your partner or family will help rekindle your enthusiasm. Your man might think you're being a bit selfish, but you’ve probably just been doing too much. Use your intuition to guide you.

TAURUS
Today is a day to make things grow – everything from a pot plant to a love relationship. You are in nurturing mode, and a real earth mother. Negotiating a business partnership will be of great benefit. Your man should be your best friend, and fantasy lover.

GEMINI
One minute you're full of fun, the next a low mood prevails. Your intellectual abilities shine at work, but you have difficulty concentrating on one subject for long. It will probably be best to use your communication skills to bring in new business. Love is fickle.

CANCER

Get the tissues ready as you could be in ‘poor me’ mode – ultra sensitive, and imagining insults and hurts where none exist. Cuddling is more appealing than erotic sex. You don’t need a partner to rely on – learn to stand on your own two feet. A new and better job offer could come your way.

LEO
On one hand you want some time alone, but a romantic meeting is coming your way, so you don’t want to miss out on any exciting invitations or social events. You're extremely adaptable, so a long hot bath, candlelight and soothing music will revive your spirits.

VIRGO
The Cancer Moon is making you a bit more moody than usual - which upsets you more than anyone else. Don’t let your mood destroy your day – or your special love relationship. Perhaps some retail therapy will help? Buy something pretty for yourself or your home.

LIBRA
It's great to be so adaptable, but this doesn’t mean you have to change your opinions to fit in with everyone you talk to. Be tactful, but stand up for what you believe. If you're feeling a bit moody, let a fire-sign friend cheer you up and help bring back your power.

Your feelings and emotions are running high, and you feel unsettled in your love life as there is an uncomfortable power play that you have to deal with. Socially all is fine, especially when you join in the activities of your local community. Finances look great.

SAGITTARIUS
If you are looking for a man to take of you instead of a sharing an equal partnership you could well be disappointed - even if the sex is fantastic. Make sure you pay your own way. Luck is certainly with you at the moment, and your easy charm brings many friends.

CAPRICORN
Stop feeling guilty about enjoying your love life, even if you have to keep it a secret. Having fun is what it’s all about. Just enjoy doing the unexpected – it makes everyone sit up and pay attention. If you keep on worrying, you’ll end up stressed and ill.

AQUARIUS
What makes you happy within your community? This is the time to enjoy having your family, friends and business associates around you, so why not organize a social event to include the people you enjoy the most? Use your creative talents in the social sphere, and you’ll gain financially when using them at work.

PISCES
You could be confused about your feelings at home – perhaps a disagreement with member of your family has upset you? Instead of indulging in your emotions, use your charm and understanding to calm everything down. Career-wise, you are in the public eye, while love seems solid.

ARIES
Love should be one huge, party with loads of socializing and friends involved. Start planning a trip together. At work any marketing, advertising and publicity projects will have a great effect on your business while bringing in the money too.

TAURUS
You won’t take any nonsense from your man today. You want a lot of fun and flirting with yourself as the centre of attention. Your mind is on a partnership rather than going it alone. A joint business enterprise will work well with your cooperation and expertise, but this is not the time for compromise.

GEMINI
With the Moon still in your sign, you know instinctively what to do to get everything you want. Marriage and business partnerships both look beneficial for you, though you’ll have to work hard to keep him interested today as you only seem concerned about your own feelings and needs.

CANCER
You are more sensitive than is good for you today, and far too eager to please. At work, use your creative talents to make your day more enjoyable. A pretty pot plant or flowers to brighten up your work space will do wonders to lift your spirits. Let love be light and spontaneous.

LEO
This isn’t the time for extravagance or self-indulgence – watch your health. If you want some love in your life, don’t pass up on invitations. Oozing idle flattery is a no-no, no matter who is concerned. Don't believe what others have to say.

VIRGO
Anything to do with your family, relatives and siblings, as well as all property dealings will be successful. Transactions are in your favour, though you have to keep a very sharp eye on contracts, official papers as well as your keys. Love-wise, sex is good, but you seem to be a bit moody.

LIBRA
Meetings and sales will be extremely successful today as ideas are flowing and it's easy for you to convince anyone of anything. Your serene friendliness makes a good impression, and finances look good too. Love is fun, cool and invigorating.

12 November 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/12-november-2011 SCORPIO
Always open to hidden elements, you now seem to know what's going on without being told as you tune in to the emotional undercurrents rather than to what is said openly. This helps you to make the right changes both at work and at home. You ooze sexuality at the moment which could cause jealousy.

SAGITTARIUS
You want your man to follow your lead today and to enjoy the things you want to do, and you would really like it if he looked after you. Negotiating contracts should be easy today, and to your benefit. You're stimulated by others, and you achieve much more when working as part of a team.

CAPRICORN
If you feel your mind is a bit scattered today, stick to your usual daily routine to give you the solidity you need. Caring for others will also help; even small things like feeding the cat. You could be working a bit too hard, and need someone to encourage you to be light-hearted.

AQUARIUS
You want your man to be there for you and noone else. Together you can have as much light-hearted, creative fun as you want, with or without a social life. All you need is each other - but does he feel the same way? Use your innate, creative talents to further your career prospects.

PISCES
Showing your cosmopolitan, worldly attitude will impress everyone at work as long as you don’t overdo it. Your pleasure today comes from entertaining friends and family at home. If you're feeling worried, stressed or lonely, let your family give you the loving support you need.

ARIES
Your imagination is running wild today in everything you do, and you're certainly making an impression on your friends and siblings. You might not always be rational, though, so think before you speak. Socialize in your neighbourhood rather than travelling far. Love is just one big party.

TAURUS
You need to tap into your toughness today - you know who you are and just how strong you can be. The Moon might make you feel that your finances are not as stable as you’d like. Just stick to your own values and don’t let anyone divert you. You can be extravagant in love as well as money, so think carefully.

GEMINI
You are more than usually open and sensitive today as you look for answers to all your questions, as well as giving solutions to everyone else’s problems. Try not to only think of yourself and what you want – ask your man what he would like. Think of ways to keep him interested and excited.

CANCER
You take in the emotions of everyone around you, but are not willing to share your vivid dreams and thoughts today. You have deep insights into how you can help others, but are perhaps not as good at helping yourself. Let him lighten your mood, and have some fun.

LEO
You can have it all today – friendship, domestic bliss, warm love and amazing sex. You even seem to be making money from your career, and all this brings emotional harmony. Be careful, though, as there are always a few people out there ready to crush you. It’s time to toughen up.

VIRGO
At work you are in mothering mode, ready to help and sensitive to everyone’s needs which, in turn, makes you feel wanted and popular. Use this time to gather as much information as you can – knowledge is power. Love-wise you could be a bit fickle today.

LIBRA
You need your man to be on your wave-length spiritually and intellectually, and to share the same interests. You might imagine yourself walking or climbing hand-in-hand, travelling to other countries or living abroad. There is not much passionate sex, but a lot of love and affection.

11 November 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/11-november-2011 SCORPIO
As Mars moves into Virgo you’ll want to participate in groups and organizations, putting your hard work to good use in a practical way. Friends become more important and you’ll want to be more of a leader than follower. Passion rules – or is it obsession?

SAGITTARIUS
It's time to start promoting yourself. You want to be seen as powerful, ambitious and on top of your work. You can see where your career is leading you, and now is the time for doing something that will be remembered. Second-best is not an option. It's all about sharing the good life with your man.

CAPRICORN

Mars is encouraging you to get out there, so travel abroad and widen your horizons, even if it means working away from home for a while. Foreign languages have greater appeal, as do people from different countries and religions. Sport or exercise relieves stress. In love, you know how to push his buttons.

AQUARIUS
You can be quite intense with Mars moving into Virgo as joint enterprises and partnerships excite you and make you feel alive again. It's important to have similar values and ideas about money as your partner if you want to avoid becoming angry. You need him to listen.

PISCES
You are full of energy and enthusiasm, ready to co-operate and work with everyone, and you’ll certainly achieve more with others than working alone. This is an excellent time for joint ventures and partnerships. Are marriage or a permanent relationship calling?

ARIES

Your personal planet, Mars, is moving into Virgo so you’ll find it easier to get through all the jobs you’ve been neglecting from filing your papers to tidying your cupboards. Getting a health and fitness programme sorted is important, but check with your doctor first. Is this love or just great sex?

TAURUS
Your emphasis is on love, romance and having a lot of fun with your man, especially if you are in a new relationship. At work, your creative talents are vital to your success, and it's time to put your heart and soul into everything you do. Lavishness in love and work is needed, as well as an eye for detail.

GEMINI
You have more enthusiasm for doing things with your family as well as getting on with any neglected tasks at home such as redecorating, sorting out the kitchen cupboards or giving away unwanted clothes or clutter. Avoid arguments in your home, though making up will be spicy.

CANCER
Try not to rush everywhere as this could easily lead to burns, cuts and driving accidents. You want to get on with everything as quickly as possible, but if you take it slowly you’ll accomplish even more. Make sure you equipment is serviced and in good condition. Love feels safe.

LEO
Be more aggressive and assertive in money matters or, at the very least, sort out your bank statements and pay your bills. You could work overtime or take on another job if you're desperate. Perhaps you'll even find a job that pays more. Don’t be rash – think very carefully. Showing your feelings to your man could be exciting.

VIRGO
As Mars moves into your sign you have more energy than usual, doing everything faster and more aggressively as you move to achieve your goals. Watch out for insect stings and burns, and be careful with knives and other sharp objects. Ecstatic sex is on offer, but marriage is on your agenda.

LIBRA
Mars in Virgo is urging you to achieve, but you seem a bit inconsistent. On minute you are dissatisfied with everything you do, the next rushing on to the next assignment. Let others be in the public eye; today you’ll you achieve more from behind-the-scenes. Let sensual love-making soothe your body and soul.

10 November 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/10-november-2011 SCORPIO
The Full Moon today makes a tug-of-war with your love partner seem almost inevitable, but you enjoy this kind of tussle, so all will be fine as long as he enjoys it too - or you’ll have to be more sensitive to his needs. Talking about your financial needs brings positive results.

SAGITTARIUS
You could become a bit over-emotional and even overly assertive about your job. You need to discuss your work with colleagues rather than trying to do everything on your own. Love-making with your man is luxurious, and will help calm your nerves.

CAPRICORN
Everyday work seems boring and tedious, and you want to take time out for some creative, interesting projects. Your imagination is running wild as you feel you could make money from your talents and are prepared to take the risk. Just think carefully first. Lovemaking could be a bit too predictable.

AQUARIUS
Arrogance or stubborn pride could upset your supervisor or the people in authority, but are you achieving everything you set out to do? Be ready to alter your plans and to change direction – flexibility is the answer. Let your home bring you feelings of peace and safety.

PISCES

You are restless as the full moon sees you wanting to move on and to travel, both locally and abroad. It's the ideal time to plan your holidays, so get online, investigate what you want to do and how much you can afford. Love is all about pleasing and pampering each other, and harmony rules.

ARIES
Don’t be too forward, sexually – unless you know he wants a relationship too. Keep to your own value system whether to do with money, partnerships or marriage. Use your career skills to make you financially independent rather than relying on your partner or others to support you.

TAURUS

Use the energy of the Full Moon today to increase your intuition, and follow it to find new, exciting career opportunities. Who knows where it will take you? This foresight will also help you avoid antagonizing anyone or being too stubborn.

GEMINI
Have you found that sensitive, caring and strong man to look after you, or at least be a good friend? You might find that there is not much sexual buzz today, but you are so busy with work and finishing your projects that you don’t really mind.

CANCER
A bruised ego is likely, but over the most trivial of criticism. Try not to take any remarks to heart, especially if they were made in a light-hearted way. Wallowing in self-pity won’t help, but some retail therapy with a close girl friend might.

LEO
The Full Moon could make you complain that you have all the responsibility, do most of the work and have none of the fun. You are just dying to be mothered and babied, so don’t be your usual, independent self - suggest that he cooks for you or takes you out for a meal. It will make him feel needed.

VIRGO
The Full Moon could be making you just a bit moody and nervous. If there is no-one to help you snap out of it, you’ll just have to do it yourself. Try opening up to your partner and friends; you’ll be surprised at how loving and supportive they can be. Your lovemaking will bring ecstasy too.

LIBRA
You seem to worry about everything today – that you aren’t making the money you need, that you aren’t achieving everything you set out to do, that your man will leave and that your sexual prowess is not as good as you thought. It's only the Full Moon; tomorrow you’ll be fine. Just don’t over-spend today.

9 November 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/9-november-2011 SCORPIO
Are you feeling over-sensitive today? You need your partner and your friends, but that doesn’t mean you have to agree with everything they say, no matter how much you want to be loved in return. Don’t be indecisive - use your intuition and go for it, whatever it is. Your positive thinking will make the risks worthwhile.

SAGITTARIUS
Don’t go it alone at work. The more you interact and share with your colleague and business associates, the better you’ll get along. You have the urge to travel and to meet with people from different countries and backgrounds, but you could be disappointed that your beliefs don’t match reality.

CAPRICORN
Are you imagining more than there really is in your current love relationship? Use your creative talents at work where joint enterprises will give you more satisfaction than working alone. A make-over or other beauty treatments will boost your spirits, as will a massage by your favourite man.

AQUARIUS
You can expect some opposition from all your relationships if you are too bold or bossy. Cool it, and think before you speak so you don’t rouse anyone to anger. Your family and home life will provide the peace you need, but is there enough passion in your love life?

PISCES
Are you rushing to finish everything at work, or are you using your energy wisely and with pride? Try co-operation rather than aggression. Good communication is the key. Take action to avoid illness. A diet including a lot of fruit and veggies will help. Love is over-powering, but exciting.

ARIES
Avoiding over-indulgence is the key to managing your personal planet Mars opposing Neptune. This covers everything from too much good food and wine to your love life. Moderation is required, especially when indulging in a new romance.

TAURUS
Patience is a virtue at work, but not if you carry it too far. Assert yourself in your own, quiet way. Be your own person at home, but you don’t have to lose your cool over the slightest thing. Remember, real men can be quite messy creatures and don’t always enjoy living in a show-room. Balance is needed.

GEMINI
You should be able to gallop through everything at work, just remember if travelling anywhere to take your documents, tickets, keys and the right clothes. Watch your driving and avoid accidents on the road. In love, is there enough time?

CANCER
Take advice from friends and colleagues today, or at least listen to what they have to say over money matters and investments. Being impatient and too aggressive will be counter- productive. Love-wise, rather than fantasize about someone else’s man, think more about your own relationship.

LEO
You could be attracted to someone totally unattainable – perhaps it would be best to stop the dreaming and get on with reality. Some physical activity like Karate or Tai-chi will help dissipate any anger or frustration. You don’t want your integrity to be questioned. Your optimism at work brings good fortune.

VIRGO
Don’t let prejudice or narrow-mindedness stop you making money in a partnership or joint venture. Think big, and work quietly to gather all the information and details you need before making up your mind. Love-wise, take the chance to travel abroad with him.

LIBRA
Try not to lose your cool if things don’t go according to your plans. The more flexible you are, the easier it will be to avoid confrontation and arguments, especially with friends and colleagues. Your charm ensures that a partnership or joint venture goes well. Real affection makes your love life bloom.

No matter how frustrated you are at work, it won’t help if you lose your cool or overreact. Patience will help. Take time out - alone if necessary - to regain your composure. Your energy levels are high, so channel it into another worthwhile project as well as your satisfying your buzzing libido.

SAGITTARIUS
You love being the centre of attention, but this could backfire today if you are too full of yourself, expecting everything to just fall into place. It's no use blaming others for your mistakes – own up and put them right. Love and romance flourish.

CAPRICORN
You flourish when working on a joint project or with your colleagues today, but don't expect everything to go your way. Remember, it is a team effort, so don’t be too judgmental. Patience and moderation will help. You are far more passionate then you let on – lucky man!

AQUARIUS
You’ll be in the mood for raunchy and erotic love-making, but first you have to win a few battles, probably at work. You're full of inspired energy, and you could find that not everyone is as enthusiastic as you are. It isn’t even worth trying to be on your own – someone will find you. Just ride it out.

PISCES
Watch your health today – if you try to do too much you’ll end up with a nasty headache, or worse. You need to make money, but it just doesn't seem to be happening. Wait, and tomorrow will be better. Love-wise, you need some time and space on your own. Say so.

ARIES
You have even more energy than usual, but also double the amount of frustration and restlessness when things don’t go immediately to plan. Stand back a bit and see the bigger picture. Ask a few questions, and be interested in everyone’s opinions as well as your own. Love is urgent.

TAURUS
Your sense of fun, willingness to laugh at yourself as well as your beautiful glowing skin, make you very popular. At home, though, you can be quite critical, even more so today, with Saturn in hard aspect to the Moon. Lighten up? Some raunchy lusty sex will help keep your special relationship sweet.

GEMINI
Try as you might to dance through life today, you are forced to keep your feet on the ground. Rather than bursting with frustration and driving erratically, slow down and don’t over-react especially towards other impatient drivers. In love, he probably won’t be able to satisfy you today.

CANCER
Unwise decisions could make you lose a lot of money today, so be careful and don’t rush into anything without careful consideration - even if it means delaying buying a pair of designer shoes. If your man isn’t a really good friend as well, will it work in the long-term?

LEO
Watch out for accidents today – don’t drive too quickly, and think carefully when cooking. Headaches, toothache and a fever could be possible too. Your creative talents are exciting, but maybe too unconventional for everyone, so expect a few setbacks. Keep the romance and warmth going and he’ll adore you.

VIRGO
You could feel really frustrated when something you did in the past flares up again, but don’t let it give you sleepless nights. Develop your inner strengths and learn to work as part of a team, even if you think you’ll accomplish more when working alone. Love is creative and joyous.

LIBRA
No matter how angry others make you, don’t lose your cool. Get on with your responsibilities, do what has to be done and ignore the things which are holding you back. The more you appreciate your friends and your local community, the happier you’ll be. In love, forget the power struggle and just give in.

Try not to get depressed at work, even if you feel your dreams aren’t coming true – this is just a temporary setback. If you give in, the stress will make you ill. You have great new ideas, so experiment and try them out. Your sex-appeal isn’t suffering, and it’s lust all the way.

SAGITTARIUS
With so many ideas you could easily lose your temper with the slower members of society who appreciate them. This could lose you friends and allies so try to smile, no matter how irritated you are. Love might be superficial today, but sex is exciting.

CAPRICORN
Business and work should be thriving with your independent spirit, though you do need to moderate yourself just a bit otherwise you’ll explode when you get home. If you are stressed, eat a healthy supper – no fatty comfort food! Let your man take your mind off your worries.

AQUARIUS

The only obstacle to your success is the way you speak and communicate with everyone. Even if you're irritated, smile and count to ten before you open your mouth. You could find you are born to act, and could even be a great star. Don’t pretend with him - just enjoy.

PISCES
Your health will suffer if you let the occasional setback or disappointment at work get to you. Don’t lose respect for yourself; this is just a minor glitch. A fire or air sign friend will help keep you upbeat, as will a brisk walk or playing sport. Your man’s tender love-making will help too.

ARIES
Your independent spirit is shining today, and it hides any indecisiveness or disappointment. If you do lose your cool, apologise before you lose a friend. Freedom to do your own thing at work is fine, but what about at home? What does your man say?

TAURUS
You're still in social mode, and you really appreciate the support of your colleagues and friends, so indulge your caring, nurturing spirit and take care of them for a change. If you need a business loan, today is a good time to ask. Your sexy glow is very inviting to your favourite man.

GEMINI
You are on a high today, but you could soon come down to earth with a bump. Stay calm and float gently instead. Appreciate your friends and everyone in your community, and be in contact with business associates who could have something very worthwhile to say. Make love fun.

CANCER
He might want to rescue you, but you are absolutely capable of looking after yourself. Your charisma will make you the leader of every group as you are passionate about everything you do today. You're ultra sensitive, so don’t let one adverse comment wreck your achievements. Love is spontaneous.

LEO

Your warm, loving optimism is inspiring to everyone today, especially your man who just thrives when he is with you. You might get too involved with everyone at work. A little detachment will help your career advancement and executive skills.

VIRGO
This is not a day for too much thinking, contemplation and discussion about every detail. Try to act first and think and talk about it later. Joint ventures, a business partnership as well as love relationships start to fulfil your dreams. Indulge yourself tonight, doing whatever turns you on.

LIBRA
Are you following your head or your heart today? You are good at telling everyone what to do, but will this advice really help? Do you speak with love and compassion rather than practicality? Avoid power struggles in the bedroom; try giving in for once.

You want your independence, so warn everyone not to tell you what to do today. You’ll be less stressed if you keep to your usual weekend routine. Going on a walk near water (preferably with a dog and your favourite man) will help recharge those batteries. You’ll need it to satisfy your passion tonight.

SAGITTARIUS
Variety is the spice you need to enliven your love life, but what does this mean? Think about it, and avoid going too far and being too much for people to handle. Everyone loves you, but you can be an exhausting friend. Learn to chill.

CAPRICORN
If there are arguments or disagreements with your family or friends, use all your powers of compromise to find a solution that will suit everyone rather than forcing your own way. You need your home to be a place of peace where you can enjoy your sensual fantasies.

AQUARIUS
There is nothing small about you today as everything you think and do is on a grand scale. Try not to lose your cool with lesser beings (most of us) - a little kindness and TLC is better than cold, hard advice. Enjoy playful lovemaking.

PISCES

You should be feeling more solid and secure than usual. Even though it’s the weekend, you can’t stop thinking about your work and whether you are being paid enough. You need to relax and find some inner calm. Let your man sweep you off your feet – he probably adores you, anyway.

ARIES
This is a day for doing what you want, when you want. You aren’t really interested in anyone else, especially those who don’t keep up with your inventive ideas. You could, at the very least, pretend to listen. Your libido needs satisfying, but is your man as eager?

TAURUS
This is not a day to spend quietly at home – you need to be out and about, socializing, meeting people and being seen in all the right places. You look fantastic, so use your charms. You feel sure of yourself today, so let everyone see just how successful you are. Love feels more like lust.

GEMINI
You are light-hearted, fun and interested in everything that's happening – and in everyone else’s business, too. Domesticity is not on your agenda today – you are the Prima Donna, and everyone seems eager to do everything for you. Play, have fun and indulge in uninhibited sex. Remember there is a tomorrow.

CANCER
Feeling more up-beat than usual, it seems that danger and excitement are calling. Use your creative skills to think up new ways of fulfilling your needs without putting yourself in danger. You want amazing sex that not only satisfies your libido but is healing, too.

LEO
Your woman’s intuition is stronger than usual, and you seem to know what is happening before being told, and anticipating what everyone is going to say. Fill your home with friends and interesting people who keep you in high spirits. Love has to be warm and romantic.

VIRGO
The Aries Moon is boosting your self-confidence today, making you look and feel strong, sensual and beautiful. You attract new men into your life, but be careful. You don’t need losers and anyone who needs to be taken care of.

LIBRA
Although you are kind and considerate, there is a challenging aspect about you, and you are ready to take on the world. Your partner had better watch out, though, as you certainly aren’t any kind of push-over today. It makes for some wild sex, though.

5 November 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/5-november-2011 SCORPIO
Direct your creative talents, energy and zest towards your promoting yourself through your career and long-term ambitions. Not everything you do will work out for you, but that's part of the challenge. Focus on what you know you can do, rather than pie-in-the-sky schemes. Love - is it destiny?

SAGITTARIUS
You could easily scatter your energy in too many directions. Be careful of playing a sport you aren’t either fit enough for or approach in a reckless way. Slow down and use your head. Rely on your intuition to tell you when your man needs some solitude.

CAPRICORN
These next few days are probably not the best for asking for a raise or promotion. Wait for a week, probably until the 14th when Neptune will be direct and Mars moves into Virgo. In the meantime contact with business associates is important. In love, patience is needed.

AQUARIUS
Everything seems to be going well, so how come your love relationship is so complicated? Are you arguing over beliefs and ideologies, or does he appear not to be as committed as you thought? It's just Mars opposite Neptune. Don’t panic or make unwise decisions – wait a few days. Sex should still be good.

PISCES
Emotions seem to be running high which could be exhausting, and it's hard to keep a grip on reality. The stress could give you a bad headache or a fever so make sure you have some early nights. The most important thing is to avoid alcohol and drugs at this time. Sticking to a strict routine at home and at work is best.

ARIES
Since Mars moved into Leo you’ve been enjoying a time of pleasure and fun, filled with social activities and romantic adventures. Neptune, however, is bringing the potential for disappointments and draining your energy, especially if you over-indulge or take too many risks. Try the feminine approach in love, and let him protect you.

TAURUS
Check that your home is safe as accidents could be waiting to happen (think: loose rugs, boiling pans, water spills etc). Avoid arguments at home too, whether with your partner or your family, and be sensitive to everyone’s differing point of view. Balance is needed in your love life too.

GEMINI
Short trips are necessary, but it really is important that you take care when driving or travelling as road rage can quickly turn into a nasty incident. Don’t be paranoid that you’ll be a victim, just be aware. Decisions are hard to make at the moment, by you as well as by your man. Wait.

CANCER
You don’t want to be secretive but at the moment, but so many of your efforts are amounting to nothing. Perhaps it’s best not to complain about everything you are doing for at least a week when all should be progressing nicely again. In love, expect a long-term relationship.

LEO

Lovemaking might be unrestrained, but you could feel that the relationship is suddenly going nowhere and that everything is vague. The same seems to be happening in all areas of your life. Don’t worry, it's just Mars in your own sign opposing Neptune. Everything will feel more positive in a week’s time.

VIRGO
Your energy levels are probably down, your activities restricted by illness or because someone close needs your help. You feel like you aren’t achieving anything at all, but keep to your daily routine as best you can and things will look rosy in a couple of weeks time. When it comes to love, stop talking and just be.

LIBRA

It's important to listen to your intuition – you need to know when to lose your cool and when to hold back, especially with male friends and colleagues. Take time out if your schedule is overloaded or you won’t accomplish anything. Keep love as light as possible.

Striking the right balance between persistence and self-confidence could help bring promotion at work. There will the chance to travel, most likely within South Africa - but don’t refuse an opportunity to go abroad. Your imagination soars in love situations, and your lover is very lucky.

SAGITTARIUS
Advanced training or learning a new skill will certainly help you expand the scope of your work, and this is a good time to be looking for a new job. Self-confidence is great, but boasting to your colleagues is not as you need their support. Even you need some time alone to re-charge your batteries.

CAPRICORN
Everyone notices you now as your imagination is flowing, and you enjoy a busy social, romantic and creative time. It’s a good time to shop and buy luxury items for yourself, whether it's a designer outfit or expensive beauty products. Romance is blossoming, and friendship too.

AQUARIUS
You can see your goals coming to fruition now as a promotion and new job offers are in the pipeline. Your home life is the focus too, with everything from redecorating to moving house.

PISCES
It’s time to widen your circle of contacts to increase your influence in your local community. Be ready to travel. Opportunities to both teach and study are likely, so don’t miss out! Despite your present self-confidence, you still need reassurance in your love life. Try to laugh and play more.

ARIES
The main problem for you today is that you spend too much. Let your self-confidence ensure you make the most of the financial opportunities that come your way, and spend time alone, thinking and considering your options, rather than rushing in. He’ll appreciate you showing your caring, even maternal feelings.

VIRGO
Luck is with you which has a lot to do with your self-confident persistence in gaining as much knowledge as possible. There are opportunities to broaden your horizons through travel, too. Let your lover take you on a magical, fantasy adventure.

Does anyone owe you money or a favour? Now is the time to collect… You are more resourceful than usual, and your skills and talents are appreciated. If you need a loan, now is the time to apply. Use your considerable charm together with all the facts and figures. Love is complex, but worth it.

It's all about schedules and responsibilities today, and for the next month. There is more and more information to sift through so keep focussed on your work and get organized, otherwise you’ll get stressed and your health will suffer. Even your love life looks exhausting – lighten up!

LEO
Love is in the air, but there is so much travelling, meeting up with friends and other social events that there is little time left for relaxing and making love. Furthering your ambitions is important, but don’t be too serious.

VIRGO
There could be a lot of transactions, papers and negotiations to see to this month, starting now. You might be moving home, doing renovations or getting involved in other family projects.

This month is all about personal finances, and on what you should spend your hard-earned money. If you are going to spend on big items, make sure they are worth it. Cultural and social events are expensive, but you get a lot out of them. In love, is it as serious for him as it is for you?

SAGITTARIUS
You are giving and demanding attention from your man. He probably needs you more than you need him today as everyone is attracted to you. Your experimental ideas and open attitude is very attractive - just don’t become too big-headed.

CAPRICORN
You want to do the right thing today in a calm and stable way, but you are in the mood to take a few risks at work and with your investments. Perhaps it would be best to take time out, away from everyone, to give yourself time to think – and avoid a battle of wills.

AQUARIUS
You have some original ideas today, mostly focused on yourself and your own aspirations, but also on your friends and the role you play in their lives. They might not appreciate some of your wilder plans, so be prepared for them to not always going along with what you want.

Take every chance you have to go to interesting cultural events (music, ballet, theatre) and to further your knowledge. Someone from a different background or country could well come into your life. Could a new romance be on the cards? You seem to be in the mood for some raunchy sex.

TAURUS
Your personal planet, Venus, moves into Sagittarius today putting the emphasis on your social status and the importance you place on having the same values and goals as the man in your life. At work, your innovative ideas really work when you distance yourself from your emotions.

GEMINI
A very good day for all your relationships as you forget yourself for once and think of your lover, as well as putting all of your colleagues and friends first. This makes it far easier to achieve common goals. Listen to your intuition – it won’t let you down. Contracts and legal matters work in your favour now.

CANCER
It's very important that there is peace and harmony in your workplace. Even if it doesn’t directly involve you, your warmth and sensitivity will promote good relationships.

1 November 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/1-november-2011 SCORPIO
You're friendly towards everyone today and see yourself as a leader in your community, using your easy charm so that everyone listens and follows your advice. If others question your logic, just stick to the facts. You need your whole body pleasured through massage – tell him.

SAGITTARIUS
You might want to hide away, preferring to be in contact with everyone by phone and social networking instead. It's a shame, really, as your leadership qualities are shining today. Excite your love-life with some cheeky and uninhibited sexual play.

CAPRICORN
Your friendly, helpful manner towards business associates and colleagues will really give your work a boost and inspire you to greater achievement. Saturn says you shouldn’t forget to keep your mind on the job in hand. Love is slow and steady, but very sexy.

AQUARIUS

The way you share your ideas and knowledge is important, and you could well have a bigger audience than you’d planned. Don’t sit back – let everyone know how knowledgeable and clever you are. You don’t have to show these same attributes in your love life.

PISCES
Love and romance with someone from a different culture or country is very possible as the opportunity to meet new people opens up for you. Don’t miss out on invitations, socials or club meetings. Business associates support your personal aspirations too.

ARIES

Complication is the name of the game in love today. You know where you are going, though, and the quickest way to get there. The right people will help, and you know exactly who they are. Partnerships bring success.

TAURUS
When you promote and think of everyone else, luck falls on you too. Common goals and partnerships are very lucky and negotiations go well, but do be careful and get legal advice, if necessary, before signing contracts. Luxury is the word in relationships.

GEMINI
If you want to feel really good, brighten up your work space with flowers, paint or music, and then get down to re-organizing your files and papers. Cold determination at work will help you accomplish everything that has to be done. In love, moderation is key.

CANCER
It's all about love and romance today as well as planning or taking a holiday, attending or organizing a social event and having as much fun as possible. Business-wise – don’t hold back, go for what you want. Love is extreme.

LEO
Business is powerful as you know exactly what you want and how to get it. Talk about having it all... Today you could feel you don’t need anyone, but tomorrow? Don’t make rash decisions. You flourish with a loving sensual man.

VIRGO
Charm and your particular brand of humour will be extremely persuasive today at work and when dealing with community neighbourhood matters. Don’t forget you have to make money as well as spend it. Your duty to everyone else is admirable, but don’t forget your own needs. In love, traditional values rule.

LIBRA

You are an elitist when it comes to love – does he match up to your expectations? Don’t expect perfection, it doesn’t exist… Joint ventures benefit you financially today, though there could still be a few setbacks. Just don’t let them keep you awake as they’ll soon be sorted.

31 October 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/31-october-2011 SCORPIO
Highly sensitive today, you’ll find that being with friends, and especially your love partner, will make your life easier, more prosperous and you’ll be able to negotiate contracts to your advantage. Just don’t take anyone or anything for granted. In love, who is the prima donna?

SAGITTARIUS
If you want a new job, now is the time to look. You could also be offered a promotion or a salary raise. Before embarking on a new diet or exercise regime, get professional advice as too much or too little could seriously affect your health. Bold and brassy lovemaking will satisfy.

CAPRICORN
Emotionally you want your love life to be slow and steady, but Jupiter is urging over-indulgence and living the good life in every way. Let romance blossom, but in your own, special way. Use the same emotions at work, and success will be assured.

AQUARIUS
You need to stay in charge of your own life while you start new projects such as a business venture or a new career, maybe from home. Your imagination is running wild, but there is confusion over the financial aspect, so don’t waste money. Action rather than words will help your love life.

PISCES
Being positive is the name of the game today. Develop your computer skills even further, widen your circle of contacts, and exchange ideas and information. Use your creative talents to help your local community, and participate in meetings and discussion groups. Tactile, sensual lovemaking brings complete enjoyment.

ARIES

Your enthusiasm and generosity can be ruinous for your bank account, even if it does impress others – just think first before opening your wallet. Luckily, you know the right people who will be willing to help and advise you. Lovemaking has you satisfying your fantasies.

TAURUS
Over-indulgence, however tempting, should be avoided if you want to stay fit, healthy and slim. You can achieve your goals now so don’t delay. You should be able to reach your financial goals in a steady way. Use your artistic talents in your love life. It's all about style today.

GEMINI
Over-indulgence in drugs and alcohol will be self-destructive, but you are a tough woman and are easily able to turn any negative experiences or obstacles into positive ones today. Working quietly alone will help. Diplomacy will be needed if lovemaking is slow and unsatisfying.

CANCER

Friends and business associates will help you to fulfil your goals – just decide what you want, and go for it. Scattered energy won’t help, so take things one at a time. Love-wise, this is not the time to be prudish as you could miss out on a mind-blowing encounter.

LEO
Your optimism and self-confidence will help expand your personal ambitions, and your prospects are fantastic. Everyone is out to help you achieve your dreams, but you have to tell them what you really want. No-one will get in your way. Lovemaking is more daring than usual.

VIRGO
What are your dreams? You can achieve everything now from furthering your education, and learning a new language to travelling to far-off parts of the world. Don’t limit yourself – you can have it all without compromising your sense of duty. Lovemaking is not over-the-top exciting, but very satisfying anyway.

LIBRA
You have that air of being slightly superior and better than everyone else – is this to cover your nerves? The good news is financially you are prospering in all ways. Love-wise, your sexual prowess is satisfying your own and his appetites, but what about emotional intimacy?

30 October 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/30-october-2011 SCORPIO
You have a need today to listen and learn, and pass on your information in a structured way rather than through an emotional outburst. Love-wise, do take care not to go OTT, especially if you meet someone new and sexy who has all the attributes you can’t resist. Well, it's no use warning you: you won’t listen anyway.

SAGITTARIUS
You could well jump to conclusions and lose your cool before you know all the facts. Slow down, think and make sure you have all the information first. Keep a lid on your spending today – it might be worth leaving your credit cards at home. Love is a bit like your spending: no holds barred!

CAPRICORN
Take the lead in group meetings and discussions, and your personal network of fellow club or association members will give you their support. Fund-raising will go well, but could take up a lot of your leisure time. Enlist the help of colleagues and friends. In love, you could be a bit of an exhibitionist tonight.

AQUARIUS
Having it all means having your man share the domestic load as an equal partner rather than a sofa-lolling sports fiend who expects you wait on him - otherwise you’ll feel your personal growth is being hampered. The trouble is your sense of humour makes your sex life wicked, so you’ll put up with his caveman behaviour.

PISCES
You are inspired to achieve great things, from cultural recognition to travelling the world – even political success is possible. You have the courage to get down to it, but don’t rush in. Think about it first, plan, and investigate all the possibilities. Your man will give you support.

ARIES
You could be making your love life a bit more complicated than it has to be – perhaps you need to be more flexible rather than forceful in your ideas. A lack of restraint in your spending will seriously damage your bank balance, and caution is needed. Focus on your long-term plans by using your creative talents.

TAURUS
You aren’t in the mood to take risks or let your high standards drop, but don’t stress about a tiny mark on the sofa or a spot of dust on the table. Most men run away from too much perfection. Friends can also relax when they aren’t worrying about a bit of spilt red wine. In love, expect the best.

GEMINI
Your life seems to be more of a learning experience than fun today. You want your love and sex life to provide the emotional security you crave, but what you really need is someone to make you laugh and forget your struggles with the world. Let your sensitivity shine through.

CANCER
You are still pursuing as much pleasure as you can through your creative talents, adventures, music, social events and through the romance you bring into your life. Just remember that too much of a good thing can be disastrous to your love relationship. Sex could be almost mind-blowing today.

LEO
Watch out for promises, especially if they seem too good to be true – they probably will be! Watch what you promise, too: is it realistic? If not, you’ll only get stressed, and it's not worth it. You need a stylish, ambitious man who will appreciate your sexual prowess.

VIRGO
Your creative talents take you out of the mundane rut of everyday living into a world of adventure, light and laughter. You want to be everywhere – in meetings, attending to business projects and deals, chatting, gathering information and swapping ideas. Love-wise, your quiet magnetism is very appealing. Love is about being romantic rather than passionate.

LIBRA
It isn’t any good holding back; if you want something, go for it! Money and security are the catch-words at the moment, and you’ll have more chance if you use all your contacts, networking and socializing rather than staying at home worrying. Your outlook is open and progressive – just like your sex life today.

It is time to put your goals into action instead of just thinking and dreaming about them. You have the passion, energy and enthusiasm, so let everyone know what you want, and listen and learn at the same time. It won’t all be easy – expect competition but the results will be worth it. In love, trust is needed.

SAGITTARIUS
Don’t resent all the responsibilities you have at the moment. Today you can’t rely on your colleagues to help you out, despite your charm and friendliness. Be careful not to get over-tired or stressed. You can only do what you can. Let your man make you feel like a Goddess.

CAPRICORN
You look great and are super-glamorous, especially when socializing with your partner, and romance could easily blossom into something deep and long-lasting. Your imagination and creative talents are flourishing, and you're ready to experiment and take a few risks. Now is the time for networking and making new business contacts.

AQUARIUS
If you want to make a good impression at work you need to be seen as tasteful and stylish – nothing OTT will do. You’ll accomplish more when working with your colleagues, even if it means sharing your unique ideas. Promotion could be coming your way. Love is also about togetherness, and anything and everything is possible.

PISCES
Try not to be overly optimistic or spread yourself too thin. Keep to the important matters and let everything else wait. You see things through rose-tinted glasses which is wonderful for you and everyone around, but could lead to disappointment. You are a bit of a gypsy – are you sure you're ready for commitment?

ARIES
You make your partner feel absolutely wonderful, and he will be willing to give you the world. Honour, honesty and shared values are important. You don’t want to lose your social status or your possessions. Use your creative talents to make money, and to fulfil your dreams.

TAURUS
Knowing the right people is very important at the moment, and your desire for harmony will see you achieving all your goals - including financial ones. This is especially true when working in a partnership. Legal matters and contracts work in your favour. In love, whose libido is buzzing the most?

GEMINI
Today is all about working with others. Whether at the office, with your family or your partner, the more harmonious and happy the atmosphere, the more you will achieve. You need to look at your body, your fitness levels and your wardrobe. Let them work beautifully together. You just ‘fit’ with your man, and sex is wild.

CANCER
Romance is in the air, but will he be able to handle your changing moods and supreme sensitivity? You can make your life exactly as you want it to be, but will he stand up to your expectations? At the moment at least your sexual appetite is easily satisfied.

LEO
The use of your imagination and creative flair will make your home a place of peace, beauty and charm where you’ll be happy to spend more of your time. This is a great weekend for inviting friends over and entertaining as you have a passion for excitement. Love is glamorous, passionate and fun.

VIRGO
You just can’t stay still at the moment, dashing around your neighbourhood and seeing friends and siblings. Being involved in community affairs will be satisfying, especially if it involves making people from other countries or beliefs feel at home. Your enthusiasm for his success makes your love life a winner.

LIBRA
This is the time for social and cultural events. If there is no man around, phone a friend or a sibling as you need to relax with friends rather than being alone. Retail therapy will work as long as your bank balance and credit card can stand it. Love-wise, is he sophisticated enough for your taste, or does he have other interesting talents?

As Neptune is making you feel uncertain about the future, you need the emotional security of sentimental rather than expensive possessions. At work, discuss your latest ideas – your magnetism will make everyone listen. Just don’t get angry if not everyone agrees. Your man’s good luck rubs off on you today.

SAGITTARIUS
Success in the business world is promised, but as it’s quite lonely at the top, try listening to what you're extremely strong intuition has to say. You would love to change the world, but not everyone wants to live by your rules and principles, so be prepared to compromise. Love is legendary.

CAPRICORN
You don’t want to be with anyone but your favourite man tonight, and you make a romantic and very sexy twosome. At work you are feeling very powerful and you make good progress. There could be a delay. Be patient, and don’t lose your cool as it is actually quite fortunate. Your creative talents will ensure promotion and recognition.

AQUARIUS
You seem irrepressible today, enjoying everything you do and finding something to smile about in every situation - even sitting in a traffic jam. The only problem is your inner urge to do too much. You have to give yourself a break occasionally. Love is ecstatic.

PISCES
There is a spiritual quality about you today which helps balance your self-confidence and persistence in achieving your goals. If you carry on like this you will succeed at everything you do. Your love life is hot and steamy tonight – just the way you like it. You can always rely on mothering from family and friends.

ARIES
You are in competitive mode and can get very passionate about everything you do, but sometimes you don’t succeed - especially where men are concerned. You can cry if you want to; who says you always have to be strong? Financially, take a good look at your investments and make changes where necessary.

TAURUS
Don’t gossip today, no matter how juicy the information you’ve been told. Let conversation flow, and be friendly and appreciative instead. There could be tension in your love life which is probably to do with financial matters, especially if you have different values and needs. Compromise?

GEMINI
Big and bold today, you are full of plans and ideas, and quite ready to run with them without actually thinking them through. Your self-confidence is great, but temper it with practical, common sense. Stubborn pride could be your downfall, so be flexible. You enjoy a sexual romp with some wild, experimental love-making.
CANCER
You aren’t prepared to hold back today as you know what you want and aren’t afraid of letting everyone else know too. Diplomacy will be needed. Your life could be a tad chaotic today unless you are organized and know where everything is. If not, now is the time to get yourself sorted. Let him cheer you up.

LEO
Extravagance is the key word today. You want it all, and are ready to spend it all. You are the centre of attraction today, so enjoy - just keep being charming and enthusiastic. He probably won’t appreciate your compulsion for glamour, but the sex is mega.

VIRGO
The main focus is on your home and family. Avoid impulsive reactions as you can easily change your views when you know all the facts - without losing your enthusiasm and optimism. This is a great asset. There could be a bit of stress in your love life today. Try talking less and loving more.

LIBRA
Your imaginative flair is so strong that it can overpower your usual common sense today. The good news is that you make everyone else feel fantastic, self-confident and able to cope, whatever the circumstances. There are no limits to your sexual prowess and passion, but you do need to be less assertive and more cooperative.

SAGITTARIUS
You seem to have a more spiritual attachment with your man. If you've been feeling your work is not fulfilling enough, opportunities are coming your way that will satisfy your needs. You probably need more time alone at the moment – except, of course, for your supportive love partner.

CAPRICORN
Joining groups and business or social associations is very important at the moment as they will bring new business contacts as well as the opportunity to make friends. Your social life is becoming more active and enjoyable, and meeting a special someone who shares your interests is possible too.

AQUARIUS
The New Moon is activating your reputation – how do others see you? Your career is more important, too, and others seem to be keen on promoting your ideas and your business. Just remember, you are more important than your business title. Love is all about raw sex.

PISCES
Your serenity today benefits everyone around you and, when coupled with a great sense of humour, you can easily disguise your feelings of sadness and depression. This can turn the sadness into joy. Your emotional warmth cheers everyone, especially your favourite man.

ARIES

TAURUS
Are you a leader today, or comfortable just being in your cosy rut? Encourage your man to join you on adventures, and try something new and exciting – even a little scary. Music will take you out of the mundane into the realms of magical intuition. You don’t need a guru – you need to connect to your own inner wisdom.

GEMINI

He will find you quite bewitching today, and you can satisfy all his fantasies - but only if you want to. Don’t let his neediness bring you down. Focus on your sense of your own personal worth, and don’t compromise. You live in the real world - don’t forget that floors need to be cleaned and clothes washed.

CANCER
Today is all about relaxing and having fun. It's time to laugh, dance and enjoy being the centre of attention. You could be tempted into having an affair with someone other than your usual partner. Think very carefully. You are very special – don’t do anything to harm your reputation.

LEO
The New Moon is making you a bit stressed, overly reactive and bursting with emotion. This could make you feel miserable, and you veer between silence and explosive reaction. If you want to cry, weep or scream, do it. Just don’t lose your sense of humour – joy and fun will soon return. In love, what are your fantasies?

VIRGO
You don’t deserve criticism, but some people just can't help themselves, so keep your head held high. You are tough as well as gentle. Just carry on doing your thing without too much fuss or bother. Take up (or at least investigate) any offers of further study or travel. In love you are surprisingly complicated.

LIBRA
You don’t like arguments or bad feelings, but are quite willing to risk it today if it means you aren’t compromising the truth – or at least the truth as you see it. You are quite forceful today, especially when it comes to earning money and the power it brings. Don’t be disloyal to your partner.

AQUARIUS
You could feel a bit antisocial today. Your dynamism and intensity are directed towards your career, ensuring that you get noticed by those who matter and who appreciate your talents. Saturn won’t let your more radical ideas get out of hand. Love is exhausting but relaxing.

PISCES
There is so much going on that it’s hard for you to choose what to do next to satisfy your creative needs. The only problem is that your emotions are fluctuating between very high and very low, as you alternate between laughter and tears. You need friends and your man to keep you buoyant.

ARIES
Your passion for life is given a greater boost today, and you have tremendous faith in your own abilities. You don’t arouse any sympathy from friends or colleagues, but do you need it? You give the impression of having it all, and a vigorous sex life too.

TAURUS
Love is the key today. Your influence over others and your ability to get their co-operation is made much easier by your charm and readiness to compromise as you hide an enviable inner strength and strong passions. You could be more assertive in legal matters and contracts. Is your love life in a rut? Let passion rule.

GEMINI
You should be able to out-distance any man today, especially at work. Don’t be quiet about your need for satisfying sex either. Why should you put up with second best? Communication is your strength – use it tell everyone what you need, whether at work or in the bedroom.

CANCER
You could be a bit OTT, even ruthless, in your desire to get your own way. Sexually you are more magnetic than usual, and he won’t be able to refuse your need for sensitive intimacy. Your use of your creative talents both at work and socially create magic.

LEO
Family relationships, your home and property are your focus, and if there are differences of opinion, you're inclined to be very vocal. If you can give rational answers, do so – if not, it would be best to keep quiet. You seem stressed with your man, but his loyalty is soothing.

VIRGO
With so many ideas and information flowing, your mind is working in overdrive. Local politics and community affairs are all very important areas which could well suit you in the longer term – now is the time to investigate. Love-wise, being adored and admired is a great turn-on.

LIBRA
More emotional than usual, you seem to want change and progress - perhaps just for the sake of it? Business and political arguments are stimulating, but don’t take them too far or someone could get hurt feelings. There are business opportunities with huge potential coming your way. In love, who will give in first?

25 October 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/25-october-2011 SCORPIO
So, what is making you feel moody, uncomfortable and slam everyone’s ideas? Just the Moon. Try to concentrate on the positive and discuss everything in the spirit of compromise rather than becoming tense with those who disagree with you. Your show of superiority could make him misbehave.

SAGITTARIUS
Don’t try to repress your feelings; acknowledge and transform them into something creative and amazing instead. Part of you needs to be alone with an illicit lover or your fantasies, while the other side of you has lots of energy, wanting to travel and meet new people. It's hard to marry the two, but you can have it all.

CAPRICORN
Instead of allowing yourself to become moody and tense, focussing on your innate charm will help keep everything and everyone calm. You might want to comfort eat today. It won’t hurt for once, but be careful of your sugar levels. You aren’t in the mood to suffer fools – don’t put your man in this category.

AQUARIUS
You could be a bit obsessed with your ideas of what is right, correct and important, but don’t let your need to control take over. Relax, and let others relax too. You could receive some important news about your career and ambitions – don’t forget to do the paperwork. Love is inventive.

PISCES
Too much pride in yourself could stop your success. You have so much love and warmth to give, it would be better for you to focus on others instead of just on yourself. When you gain everyone’s respect you’ll feel deservedly proud. You seem totally in tune with each other today, and it's romantic and glamorous.

ARIES
Normally you like to be best friends with your man, but your reactions seem more emotional and tense than usual. Trying co-operating - it could work wonders. At work you’ll find far more clarity and answers to problems if you are prepared to compromise.

TAURUS
You’ll achieve more if you put the emphasis on everyone else rather than on yourself, and public relations and legal contracts will all be in your favour. Try to be more analytical and detached rather than overly emotional. In love matters, the more feminine you are, the more your man becomes your adoring slave.

GEMINI

Sexually your love life is hot and fun, but is there enough emotion? You are an air sign, so perhaps it doesn’t matter to you, but does he need more feeling? Socially and at work you have the air of compromise and agreement which makes it easy for you to negotiate contracts.

CANCER
You seem even more introverted than usual, just remember that you don’t live in a glass house, and that everyone gets hurt sometimes. Your man probably thinks you are perfect. Let eroticism rule. At work, your creative imagination and talents make money for both you and your company.

LEO
You could be looking for an escape route – from your own emotions, if nothing else. Instead of hiding away or over-indulging in alcohol or chocolate, try visualizing what you want from your life. Energy follows thought so you could start to achieve immediately. Don’t play too hard to get; he might not bother any more.

VIRGO

Conversation flows, and your ability to discuss rationally with all the facts is met with enthusiasm (as long as you don’t bore everyone with too much detail), so it is a very successful day at work. Love-wise, you dream of someone sweeping you off your feet – but is it just a dream? Keep him laughing.

LIBRA
Someone with a lot of influence and prestige is important to you today – make sure that you gain strength, power and importance too… You are quite passionate and intense – but equality and fairness are even more important to you. Experimenting in your love life is more important than emotion today.

24 October 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/24-october-2011 SCORPIO
You are warmer and more affectionate than usual, but if you aren’t careful you could wallow in a sea of emotions, picking up everyone else’s feelings as well as your own. You’ll compromise and agree to everything suggested, and you’ll be far more tolerant and sensitive to your love partner too. Jealousy is a pitfall, though.

SAGITTARIUS
Doing everything correctly and according to the book is not your way today. You want to help everyone, but listen to what they really want rather than what you think they need. If he encourages you to greater achievements, you could be a winner.

CAPRICORN
You could be a bit touchy today, so try not to overreact for no reason. You are extremely sociable, especially with those who have influence. Forget your personal status and try to just enjoy whatever the day brings. Let a fire sign friend provide some fun.

AQUARIUS
The Scorpio Sun suggests steamy passion, but you just aren’t in the mood today. You're into intellectual pursuits and physical exercise, and an active sex life would be fun. At work your quick mind is appreciated by everyone. You could rise quickly up the corporate ladder.

PISCES
You're very intuitive, and today you can add a heightened intellect to the mix which will certainly help your career and any studies you're embarking on. It is easy for you to see where your career is going – make any changes you think are necessary. Your sensuality works wonders for your love life.

ARIES
The Moon has moved into your house of relationships, with the Sun and Venus adding passion, emotion and love. The only problem could be your reluctance to co-operate. Sex will be a wild romp. You’ll accomplish a lot if you use patience and discipline, and even an aggravating delay works out in your favour.

TAURUS
Your optimism, friendliness and ability to make money as well as the way you lavish your partner with affection make you the ideal mate for any man. Today you might come across as a bit too independent. You need to be extremely organized at work if you are to get finished on time.

GEMINI
Using your creative talents at work will make it far more enjoyable, and you’ll accomplish everything you need to. If you can combine business and pleasure you could make some very good contacts which will help you in the future. You and your man need a common vision in order for love to thrive.

CANCER
What does openness mean in your love life? You don’t have to do anything that makes you uncomfortable or goes against your beliefs, even if you are infatuated with him. You need to control your spending, especially on your home and family – just leave your credit card at home.

LEO
Being house-proud is one thing, but don’t take it to a point where friends feel uncomfortable or unwelcome. Family matters are being activated by the Scorpio Sun – if there's a problem, get to the bottom of it and see if you can help. Sex is fun but a bit lacking in emotional depth today.

VIRGO
You need to be really good friends with your man for love to develop into a real relationship, but you also need passion and energetic lovemaking. If you don’t get what you want, you're in the mood to move on. Reaching your financial goals is important. Talk to your boss or others in authority to see how best to earn what you need.

LIBRA
As one of your greatest assets is your ability to make everyone like you, you can hide any aggressive tendencies behind a mask of friendliness and caring. You are in the strongest financial position of the year, so take advantage of every offer of support and assistance to reach your goals. In love, eroticism rules.

23 October 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/23-october-2011 SCORPIO
Today the Sun moves into your own sign reminding you to look at your personal attributes and to take greater pride in yourself. If necessary, improve your self-image. Have a make- over do whatever you can to be more successful, independent, healthy and strong. Relax - and don’t let your quick temper get the better of you.

SAGITTARIUS
Look at your unconscious motivations and outward behaviour and how these contrast with your true self. Focus on being open, optimistic and enthusiastic so that you keep inspiring everyone around you instead of being argumentative and impatient. There could be stress in your love life. Transform it with sensuality.

CAPRICORN

You could become a bit too aggressive as you seek recognition for your hard work. Avoid arrogance! Friends and groups become more important (business associations, sports clubs etc.), and this is where your leadership qualities show best. Show more compassion and understanding in your love life.

AQUARIUS
Using your intellect and reasoning are great, but not in bed. Now it’s time to let your fantasies and emotions run free. Career-wise, it’s time to look at your major ambitions and see how to achieve everything you set out to do. At the moment you are on good terms with everyone who has influence over your life. Do what has to be done.

PISCES
The Sun’s move into Scorpio makes this an ideal time to think about pursuing a higher education or learning new skills to help you climb the next few rungs of the corporate ladder. You can be quite a formidable opponent when in competition. Don’t let anything put you off if he is the one.

ARIES
The focus of the Scorpio Sun is on your personal status, especially through family connections and marriage, but it's also on money and the collection and payment of debts. Do you have the skills to make you financially independent? Sex-wise, perfection is hard to find.

TAURUS

You hide your executive qualities under an air of sweetness, but everyone seems delighted to cooperate and help you. The Scorpio Sun tells you to be assertive when negotiating contracts and legal matters. Do you want passion or safety in your love life today?

GEMINI
The Scorpio Sun suggests that this is the time to take more pride in your work, and find ways of making your daily routine more efficient. Love-wise, think about what qualities you are looking for in your man (ambition, sensitivity, passion?) before committing yourself to anyone.

CANCER
The Scorpio Sun makes it hard for others to figure you out, though you find it easier to ‘read’ them which gives you the advantage. Your imagination runs loose today as your pursuit of pleasure increases and you enjoy indulging yourself in every way. In love there are no barriers.

LEO
Your participation in family matters increases now that the Sun has moved into Scorpio, and your role and influence become more important as you try to strengthen family pride, goals and ties. Your charm and good taste are invaluable assets. Love is all about adoration and lust.

VIRGO

As you gather information you are more eager to impose your opinions on everyone, especially now that the Sun has moved into Scorpio. Your leadership skills are welcome in your community – is it time to take a more active role? Don’t be too critical of your love partner. Let romantic passion rule.

LIBRA
This whole month should be focussed on reaching your financial goals. The Scorpio Sun also suggests that your principles and values are equally important and shouldn’t be compromised. There is tenderness rather than warmth and passion in your love life today.

22 October 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/22-october-2011 LIBRA
A social or cultural event is coming up so you are probably in the mood for some retail therapy. Before choosing the most expensive items, no matter how good they make you look and feel, consider your bank balance. Try not to be too emotional, even if your love life is confusing.

SCORPIO
Your work and career are the important factors today and you could be quite excitable and rebellious when the mood takes you. Promote yourself as well as your work, and everyone else will benefit too. Some really hot sex will help you de-stress and make you feel fantastic.

SAGITTARIUS
Your creative mind is at its most imaginative, and anything and everything is possible. Just visualise it, and it will happen. Love-wise, if you are involved in a secret affair, there could be trouble ahead. It’s exciting but unstable. If your relationship is working for you, you could be one power couple.

CAPRICORN
Your strong personality and self-confidence make it easy for you to make friends with those in power today. Add a few spoons of love to the mix and you’ll get along even better. It's important that you both pay your bills and collect monies owed. In love there is more style than passion.

AQUARIUS
You could be quite rebellious today, and say things just to provoke a reaction from your colleagues and business associates. Add some humour and they’ll listen to even the most outrageous ideas. This could end in a joint venture or a business partnership – possibly even marriage.

PISCES
You’d probably prefer to be alone with your man tonight rather than socialize. You need affection and understanding today. If you're single, there is a lot for you to get through from work you’ve brought home to things that need doing around the house.

ARIES
Are you falling in love again? First sight is always the best – but then what? Still, it's exciting and you're feeling quite daring. If there is no man around, your zest for life will enliven any social event and make your friends laugh. Use your creative imagination at work, but don’t take too many risks with other peoples' money (or your own).

TAURUS
Is it time to let your feelings out instead of keeping everything inside? You are at your most attractive right now, glowing with beauty and femininity – as well as spunk! You want it all? You can have it all. Be sensitive at work, and use your intuition to tell you when to hold your opinions back a little.

GEMINI
No matter what you feel, you aren’t about to let others know you're down, depressed or upset. Luckily your partner (and your friends) know exactly how to cheer you up and make you laugh again. No-one likes to see a butterfly with closed wings. Communication is your skill – use it at work today.

CANCER
You may have to work overtime or find an additional job in order to make the money you feel you need. Use your imagination, but don’t tire yourself out. Rethink your budget, and organize your accounts, bills and payments. Unwise actions can make you lose money.

LEO
You can cry, you know; you don’t have to be tough all the time. It's time to develop your feminine side. You know you're good at everything you do, you don’t have to put on a show. Instead of a battle of wills with your man, give in for once – who knows what will happen?

VIRGO
Men are really attracted to you – just ensure they aren’t the drop-outs who want you to look after and pay for them. You are in sensual mood, so why not indulge? Just be careful in the long-term. Those less fortunate and your favourite charity need your attention and involvement, but don't tire yourself out.

21 October 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/21-october-2011 LIBRA
You can attain pleasure through everything you do today. Use your imagination at work, with friends and especially in your romantic life. Don’t try to play hard-to-get – just enjoy yourself. At work your confidence and leadership qualities help you solve most problems.

SCORPIO
Try not to spend all your time day-dreaming. Use your intuition, but let your strong personality be positive and forward-thinking. It's time for self-promotion, to think about your long-term ambitions and to transform your life. In love, if you find yourself losing interest, do something to add that spark.

SAGITTARIUS
Feeling powerful? You can make your love life as vigorously enjoyable as you want. There are many other areas of your life just waiting to be enjoyed – cultural pursuits, philosophies, writing a book, studying a foreign language or teaching and travelling. Decide what you want, and go for it.

CAPRICORN
Your intensity might be hard for everyone else to handle at the moment so use the energy to make decisions, find answers and think strategically. The more professional you are in your attitude, the more your career will benefit. For love to flourish you need your partner to support your ambitions.

AQUARIUS
Love is big and bold, but a bit unpredictable. Is this coming from you or from him? You aren’t always a domestic goddess, so today go out for a meal or bring home a takeaway. Life is too exciting today to be stuck in the kitchen. You’ll enjoy passionate and energetic love-making.

PISCES
Be pro-active at work and let your self-confidence and leadership qualities show. Your enthusiasm inspires your colleagues too. Keep an eye on your health, though, as there is the possibility of headaches and other ailments if you do too much. Sensitivity towards your man is the key to romance.

ARIES
The pursuit of pleasure in everything you do is what counts today. You are confident and assertive, just don’t forget your femininity as you use almost military-like precision to realise your ambitions. The same goes for your love life. Be sensitive to his needs if you want to be adored.

TAURUS
New business ventures, working from home, moving house and achieving personal goals are all possible right now. Think about what would really suit you and your needs. You have the strength and the pioneering spirit; you just have to take the first steps. In love, just be your usual loving self.

GEMINI
A busy, busy day is forecast as you are almost swamped with information, new ideas as you battle to deal with everything that has to be done… You need to be organized – make a list of what has to be accomplished and stick to it. Siblings and neighbours take up your time too. Love? Are you ever too tired?

CANCER
If you need a new computer or other equipment (even a car) for your work, now is the time to buy what you need. Get your financial papers in order, make payments, send out invoices and collect money owed to you. You may need all your sensitivity… You know all the tricks in bed…

LEO
If you aren’t too showy or blatant, your ego today will help you accomplish absolutely everything… Your competitive spirit assures success – there are few people who can match you today. Do though watch out for stings, bites and burns if you do things too quickly. Casual sex is a no-no today.

VIRGO

Tune in to your intuition today especially if plagued by irrational fears or worries. Mars is helping you develop inner strength - your creative and artistic talents will help you develop your true potential. Use these same talents in the bedroom – it will help stimulate both your own and your partner’s passion.

Continue to create your life just as you want it to be, making important changes to your love relationship. Now is the time for excitement and sparkle. There are great opportunities for love and romance for single Libras right up to the end of the month. Friends and business groups are very supportive which is great for your career.

SCORPIO

Your career is important and you feel it’s time to make changes to your work. You might decide to further your studies or go on a trip to widen your knowledge. Do whatever it takes you make it feel new and exciting again. You have so many ideas, so use them!

SAGITTARIUS
One of the best days all month. You should be full of vigour and drive, and if not, why not? Your creative talents are boosted by your unlimited imagination. Energy follows thought so let your mind take you wherever you want to go. Pamper him tonight, and passion will reign.

CAPRICORN
You need an equal love partnership, but it won’t hurt to be a little less independent and to lean on him... just a little bit. It will make him feel macho and needed. There could well be a change in your family dynamics as something is happening which brings you all together in an exciting and bonding way.

AQUARIUS
Luck is with you at the moment, but don’t rely too heavily on it - you still have to put in a hard day’s work. Your relationship with one of your siblings could be undergoing a change for the better as you think of ways to bring back the fun and sparkle of your childhood. Love is big, bold and very much fun.

PISCES
Don’t ignore your daily routine as it helps keep you grounded and able to work. Eating unhealthily or over-indulging in alcohol could really damage your health, and it’s time to listen to your body. Love-wise, your sense of humour, understanding and love makes your love relationship romantic and unrestrained.

ARIES
This really is a great day for you as your adventurous spirit adds to your innate love of life and people so everyone enjoys themselves in your company. Life is far more exciting when you are around. You might not be the most faithful of partners – but only if the opportunity is irresistible. Luckily for your partner, it usually isn’t.

TAURUS
There are changes happening. If you are single and independent, you might suddenly find commitment more rewarding; if you are in a committed relationship, you might want more freedom to express yourself. Whatever is happening, go with the flow and enjoy the excitement. Relax with colleagues at work if you want their loyalty.

GEMINI
You can expect some changes in your friendships as well as your business associations. You could make new friends, join new business groups or break off with old ones as you feel the need for more stimulation and something to bring the spark back. Is this lover the one you have dreamt of?

CANCER
Your life certainly isn’t boring, and you're eager to make changes to your lifestyle, bringing new impetus to your career and possibly even changing direction. Think about what you really want to achieve – now is the time to move forward. In love, you are far more independent than you show.

LEO
This is an exciting time. You might think your life is a bit too unstable, but when you go with it, you’ll find a new interesting world opening up to you. Let your independent spirit free to explore new ideas, places and to meet different and exciting people. Don’t take unnecessary risks when travelling. Sex-wise, expect tough love.

VIRGO
The more self-reliant and independent you are the better so that you can enjoy the challenges life throws to you. It won’t all be easy, but the rewards are absolutely worth it. The trick is not to lose your femininity while you show the world exactly what you are made of. Love- making is lively and fun.

19 October 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/19-october-2011 LIBRA
Love-wise, you seem almost out of control, which gives him something to think about. At work your reputation is the all-important issue. Secretly you need to be loved and admired, so you should try to avoid arguments. Fight for your rights, but wait a couple of days.

SCORPIO
The focus is on your long-term ambitions, but the Moon is telling you that there are so many different options it’s hard to know what to choose. Listening to your inner feelings could help you decide rather than just going for money or status. Love is snug; almost smothering.

SAGITTARIUS
Using sex is one way to cement his feelings, but if there is nothing else to keep him, the relationship won’t last, and it will just make the break up more devastating. The element of 'unknown' makes things erotic. At work use your creative talents to solve problems.

CAPRICORN
Nurturing and caring for your man will make him feel wonderful, and you are particularly sensitive to his needs. But, what do you want and need for yourself? Don’t be a martyr. There could be a problem over joint finances, accounts and property. Make sure your money is safe.

AQUARIUS
You are ready to fight for your man or business partnership but this could make you feel a bit insecure and worried, so stay back and observe for a couple of days. Rather than rushing to make your love relationship more serious, wait as you could be over-emotional today.

PISCES
You are at your most creative today, and use these talents at work. They’ll make your day far more enjoyable and your colleagues will make you feel very special. Be careful at work and when exercising in order to avoid accidents. Indulge your romantic feelings and use your intuition.

ARIES
Unusually for you, you long for some peace and tranquillity, and an early night - especially if you’ve been overdoing the partying recently and you are reaping the consequences of over-indulgence. Don’t overreact at work – smile and get on with what you need to do.

TAURUS
You are in earth-mother mode towards your lover as well as everyone else, and you instinctively know what people are thinking without having to be told. Try not to confuse your own thoughts with those of the people around you. Get in contact with your siblings who will give you their support.

GEMINI
Spontaneity in your love life is your strength today – enjoy! Your weakness, though, is your difficulty in concentrating on any one thing for long which doesn’t help your work schedule. In a sentimental mood, family heirlooms, photographs or a present from someone close could bring you close to tears.

CANCER
Despite your ultra-sensitive nature today, you are a very good businesswoman, and your feelings and intuition ensure your success. You do need to organize your finances and debts, though, so don’t put it off. Love-wise, only thinking of yourself could be a problem, but lots of affection, hugs and cuddles will help.

LEO
Your dreams are so vivid they are almost real today. You also pick up on everyone else’s feelings, but don’t let their hurts overwhelm you. Keep your sense of humour to stop yourself from overreacting. Exercise helps to keep you balanced. Love is warm and tender, but don’t expect anything more.

VIRGO
Tension and stress could stop you achieving everything you set out to do – and then you’ll be over-taken by your emotions. Let colleagues help your work-load, and make sure you get enough rest. Your mother or an important woman friend will give support. Love-wise, when is enough sex actually enough??

18 October 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/18-october-2011 LIBRA
Clever you - you’ll know exactly what others are thinking, and are able to change your opinions in order to keep the peace. However, if you are pushed too far or your personal rights are challenged, you’ll fight back. You want your achievements to be recognised. You're more passive than usual, and you let him take the lead.

SCORPIO
Everyone comes to you today as you ooze empathy and understanding. Logic is not your strong point, though, as you let your emotions take over. Think before you give your opinion. At work, use logic and intuition as a winning combination. Your personal magnetism rules your relationships.

SAGITTARIUS
You enjoy competing in a so-called ‘man’s world’, but today you can do it with a grace, warmth and charm that ensures you get everything you want. Don’t push yourself too hard or you’ll get overtired, stressed and ill. Don’t overreact to something your man says or does – smile sweetly instead.

CAPRICORN
You are ready to take on the world today without losing any of your femininity - everyone listens to what you have to say, so make sure you have all the details and facts at hand. Strongly intuitive, you know exactly when to be tough and when to show love and warmth. Sex is highly sensual.

AQUARIUS
You feel inspired today and a little bit restless while you try to combine your need for independence with emotional sensitivity. It's a winning combination which helps you find solutions to problems at work and in your long-term career. Lovemaking is physical and passionate.

PISCES
You love everyone today, and they want to cherish you back. Just make sure you aren’t using emotional blackmail to get your own way. Your imagination flows, which is especially good for advertising campaigns at work, and does wonders for your love life too.

ARIES
Listen to your intuition today rather than rushing in too quickly or saying something that really hurts. Be confident and decisive, especially where it concerns joint finances or partnerships – but not to the point of risk-taking. Spontaneity wins in your love life.

TAURUS
Family matters take on a greater significance as you feel more caring and empathic towards your parents and siblings. Personal goals seem far more achievable now, too, and this is a good time to discuss your ideas and plans with those who matter. Love is tender; almost sacred.

GEMINI
It really is time to give in your feminine side. Be softer, sweeter and more serene. If nothing else, it will make everyone want to help you and give you a break from always being too logical. Finance is a bit of an emotional subject – have you been overspending? You seem moodier than usual which hampers your love life.

CANCER
Where is that box of tissues? Better get them ready, just in case you start to fall apart – probably for no apparent reason. Your sensitivity causes you to feel both real and imagined hurts. Tuning into your logical side (if you can find it) will help. Chaos is comforting at the moment.

LEO
Intensity rules today. You’ll need to tune into your common sense (you have bags of it) and sense of humour to help you cope with everything. There seems to be so much to do, but so little time. Impatience and tears won’t help at all. You are more loving and giving in bed, which satisfies your man.

VIRGO
You need your friends to help you through today’s mood swings and changes of heart, especially if your man finds them difficult to cope with. Not that it stops your sex appeal. It's just that one minute you are sweet and the next, in a rage. Your finances look good though – focus on those.

You're impulsive, and you want action and adventure today, but there are risks, too, so think carefully before taking up a new sport. Your work is frustrating today, and not fulfilling your vision - you need more patience. Networking and being in contact with business associates will help. Love is easy and fun, but not exactly dramatic.

SCORPIO
There is a lot to get through today. Don’t be shy to promote yourself as well as your work. You do everything quickly and decisively, just be careful on the road as accidents can happen. Luckily your reactions are quick today. When it comes to love, you need time alone with your favourite man.

SAGITTARIUS
Which direction do you feel like going in today? There are so many paths open to you that it’ll be hard to know which to choose from travelling abroad to politics to studying to advertising. You are energetic, successful and very creative which is great for your sex life too.

CAPRICORN
You need to delve into everything, especially financial issues, paying close attention to all the small details. Skimming the top is not a good idea today. You are ready to take the lead and make the decisions, but only when you know all the facts. Don’t feel guilty about enjoying a little fling.

AQUARIUS
At work you find yourself inspired by many different things, and your energy and enthusiasm grow by the hour. You might think you aren’t getting anything done, but it is this initial work that sets up the future. Love is fun and very sexy.

PISCES
You have a lot of energy today, and it’s the ideal time to start on a new fitness regime or play some team sports. Don’t go overboard – start slowly and build up. At work you are unusually aggressive and competitive. Don’t get upset if there are no instant solutions. Love is compulsive.

ARIES

Everything is about having fun today. There is a lightness about you, an enthusiasm and a sparkle. You are full of ideas - not just for social events but for your adding romance to your relationship. Even the bedroom has a party atmosphere. Be careful when taking risks.

TAURUS
There is more emphasis on family activities as well as on your home and domestic environment. Working from home, starting a home-based business or doing renovations are all embarked upon with enthusiasm. Be careful, though – accidents are possible, so be careful of falls and other mishaps? Love is a lot of fun today.

GEMINI
Freedom to do whatever you want today is important, but try not to be too bossy. Be careful when driving or even crossing the road as accidents of all kinds happen when you do thing too quickly. Is there time for love?

CANCER
Take your time if choosing a car, computer or some other expensive item – impulsive actions could easily backfire and you will lose money. The problem is that you don’t want anyone telling you what to do. This is fine, and you should make up your own mind, but think first. Sensitivity in your love life brings brownie points.

LEO
You show yourself to be more competitive than usual; even slightly aggressive. You want to get your own way, and could get a headache if you feel you aren’t achieving. Give yourself a break, and chill out with friends. Love works when your man supports your need for achievement.

VIRGO

There is a lot going on – making money, keeping your career on track and ensuring you are in touch with the people who matter. Take time out to think and figure things out in an analytical way rather than making snap decisions. Are you in the mood for energetic exotic sex? It's coming your way...

You should take advantage of every opportunity when it comes to mixing business with pleasure – even at a local Sunday braai your eyes and ears should be open for an exciting contact. Try not to be too self-absorbed, though, and give some sympathy to your friends too.

SCORPIO
You’ll feel much happier when you focus on others, especially your partner, rather than on yourself. Certainly, today, you prefer not to be the centre of attention. Doing something creative, which takes all your concentration, will help. Career-wise, think about a future plan of action.

SAGITTARIUS
Are you involved in a new romance or a love affair that has to be kept secret? Don’t let false flattery make you do something you’ll later regret. Find something to do that inspires your enthusiasm – travelling, writing and meeting up with people from different cultures will broaden your mind and your horizons.

CAPRICORN
Your partner could find you a bit overwhelming as you are really serious, despite your unexpectedly impish behaviour (some might call it devilish). The only problem for you today is trying to decide what entertainment you are going to indulge in next.

AQUARIUS
There is a load of fun, sparkle and hilarity in your love life today, but is there warmth? The sex might be great, but you need to be able to show your love through warmth and empathy as well. If not, this is something to work on. When it comes to making money you know what to do, and contracts and joint ventures work well at the moment.

PISCES
Trying to make up your mind about what you want while being firm and not giving yourself away will be hard at the moment. It's best not to make decisions for the next couple of days. If you’ve got time today get involved in a team sport or some other form of exercise. The fitter you are, the easier it will be to fight off common colds and other minor ailments.

ARIES
Party, party, party! Get all the boring jobs (like tidying the house) done as quickly as possible so that, at the very least, you know where everything is. Love-wise, you have few, if any, inhibitions today and are ready to indulge in experimental sex.

TAURUS
Are you being just a little bit of a perfectionist today? Becoming a nag won’t go down too well with your man. Carpets can be cleaned, and towels cleaned and dried. Is it time to give everyone a break? Let your lovemaking be a bit of a rough-and-tumble

GEMINI
The good news is that you are very flexible, coming up with new, creative and exciting ideas from what you eat to how to have fun in bed, but you probably aren’t so good at making decisions. Don’t even try... This is a good day for going online and checking out new jobs, diets and health fads.

CANCER

You seem a bit too eager to please, telling everyone your plans and ideas before you’ve really thought them through. Best to keep quiet, smile and be a little enigmatic – it will keep everyone’s interest. You need a man with great prospects if he is to keep you satisfied.

LEO
You might enjoy being provocative in public towards your man, but your friends might find it just a bit embarrassing and OTT – and, it could turn him off for good. Are you really ready for a permanent mate? Today you need great sex, but maybe not domestic bliss.

VIRGO
You would love to go out and spend on something, but you know that Saturn is warning you not to waste money and to keep a very close eye on your credit card. Socialize, and keep a look out for someone who could help you up the corporate ladder. Don’t forget to add a dash of emotion to your lovemaking.

15 October 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/15-october-2011 LIBRA
Some tension in your love relationship could be caused by you both wanting different things. One of you (probably you) needs adventure and to widen your horizons, but what does he want? Are you expecting too much from him? Shared finances could also be a source of aggro too.

SCORPIO
You probably find it a bit harder than usual to concentrate on work, your love life being far more fun than your career aspirations. Don’t ignore your responsibilities – especially those to do with money.

SAGITTARIUS
It's important you get on with your business associates and colleagues, but if you aren’t putting in your share of the work you can’t expect their support. A secret love affair might take up your time. Be careful of attention and flattery from someone totally unworthy of you.

CAPRICORN
It's lucky that Saturn is encouraging you to keep control of your career, but this weekend have fun and enjoy a busy social life. You could, on the other hand, just stay at home, relaxing and recharging your batteries with your favourite man. Be resourceful.

AQUARIUS
Adventure calls as you rush around this weekend, following your impulses without restraint - but watch out for accidents. You’ll excel at group activities rather than being on your own. Do you feel your personal growth is slowing down? Just wait… Love is a free-spirited fling.

PISCES
Your intuition is sharp at the moment, as are your dreams. Your home life could be a bit confusing as you try to decide what to do next – just keep your spirits up and let friends and family boost your self-confidence. Love is a solid bond.

ARIES
Leave the responsibilities of life to someone else today, and let your child-like qualities take a break from mature decision-making. You don’t always have to tell everyone what to do, so give that a break too. Your tireless libido is transforming your love life.

TAURUS
The more you concentrate, the more steady progress you are making at work – and you are earning money too. This is not the time to take a holiday break or over-indulge in chocolate or other comfort foods. A new love is there for single Taureans. Watch your diet.

GEMINI

A social whirl this weekend – enjoy! Love takes a back seat unless you can find ways to keep the excitement going, but you are more than happy with friendship today so don’t feel guilty. Don’t waste time arguing or forcing any issues. Go with the flow.

CANCER
Extravagance and self-indulgence are the main things to avoid as you indulge in an adventurous social whirl. Your love life certainly benefits from your increased imagination and creative ideas. There could still be some issues to do with your home and parents that need to be talked through.

LEO
You show yourself to be playful and light-hearted, but today your heart will not be with your home or family if they constantly criticize you. Don’t let anyone stomp on your self- confidence. Participate in fun social activities and fun lovemaking.

VIRGO
This doesn’t seem to be a weekend for staying still as your restless spirit wants to be on the move, meeting up with friends, and travelling and participating in local community activities. Try not to lose your cool with one of your siblings, no matter what the provocation. Love- making is tempestuous and challenging.

14 October 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/14-october-2011 LIBRA
You act as if you haven’t a care in the world, but you know it’s time to face up to your extra work load and responsibilities. Look at your health and fitness levels, and take action like giving up smoking or changing your diet. Your love relationship looks quite serious.

SCORPIO
You feel the need to think about others, particularly the less fortunate. Remember that the more you give, the more you receive. You have amazing inner strength and more patience than usual too. Love-wise, try not to take your man for granted.

SAGITTARIUS
You are meeting people from all walks of life, and the challenge is to accept and embrace those who are from a different background, however unsettled it makes you. It's hard to decide whether you want to go socializing or to stay in. Whatever you choose, relax and enjoy it.

CAPRICORN
You’ll probably get everything you’ve been working towards, but are you ready for even more responsibilities? Stay calm – you thrive when producing something solid and enduring. And take control. You don’t need drama in your love life at the moment. The trick is in communication.

AQUARIUS
You might have failed in the past, but who hasn’t? Stop listening to your own propaganda and move forward, out into the big, wide world. If you want to study, organize it, or book a flight abroad. Express your ideas and demonstrate your skills. You might need to change your attitude to love.

PISCES
Don’t let anyone tell you it’s wrong to feel love and passion, or that you have to go further than you want; choose your own boundaries. Act out your fantasies or keep them private – it’s up to you. Finance-wise, don’t forget to pay your bills or taxes.

ARIES
Are you a bit scared of commitment at the moment, and are you showing yourself to be independent, inflexible and unwilling to compromise? Is this the real you or just an escape? Whichever it is, be tactful. And be careful not to overspend at the moment – leave your credit card at home.

TAURUS
You are so dutiful and hard-working that you seem driven to succeed at all costs. Don’t let this drive make you feel insecure or you’ll end up stressed and ill which will be totally self-defeating. Balance is needed. Your love life is intense today – just go with the flow.

GEMINI
You could feel guilty if you take time out to enjoy yourself; even social events seem to be accompanied by too many responsibilities at the moment. Love-wise today, instead of being your usual fun, light self, you expect commitment first and fun second. Tomorrow will be better.

CANCER
You could be wallowing in self-pity today, feeling lonely and abandoned even when you're surrounded by people. You’ve just forgotten how strong, warm and sensitive you are. Don't worry, it's just Saturn playing up. Let your man remind you how sweet and tough you are – and bring you a large box of tissues.

LEO
No matter what's happening, it’s time to put on a smiley face. Listen to what everyone else has to say, no matter how trivial; in fact, the lighter and funnier it is, the more you’ll relax and smile too. Be open to new ideas and skills. Let go in your love life, too – the hotter the better.

VIRGO
You know that for you hard work equals a healthy bank balance – but you don’t have to make a martyr of yourself as there are far more important things in life than money. Pay your bills on time, buy yourself something frivolous or give to a beggar. Generosity in your sex life works miracles too.

13 October 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/13-october-2011 LIBRA
This is a very good time for you financially. You have some very interesting ideas on how to make money, and you're quick-thinking and intelligent. Believe in yourself and it will happen. Even so, it might be a good idea to get as much information as you can, so talk to experts. Love is sensual but maybe a little bit superficial.

SCORPIO
You know what you want, and no-one can convince you otherwise. You trust your medical practitioner to come up with answers, but you know there are alternative options too. Your career and work thrive as a result of your intellectual abilities. Sexual love can be obsessive - lighten up.

SAGITTARIUS

There is the need to keep all your personal information and activities confidential at the moment. Your intuition is sharper now – listen to what it says, especially on how to make your creative talents work for you. Your loyalty combined with your fun nature make you an ideal lover.

CAPRICORN

As Mercury moves into Scorpio the emphasis will be on your participation in group activities, and joining business associations and groups on-line. Today you know instinctively what others want. It's time to let everyone know what makes you happy too. Love is more about duty than passion.

AQUARIUS
Your ambitions are likely to be realised now – at the very least you can see where your vision is taking you, so expect some good news or information to help you further. Some of your views might not be popular, but stick with them. Love is complex and more intense than usual.

PISCES
It's time to contact old friends who live far away, and make new ones - especially people from different countries and cultures. This is a good time to study a foreign language too. Advertising and marketing are well starred at work. Love-wise, you are ready to please and pamper – is he?

ARIES
The subject of joint income could come up between you and your man. This is one way of knowing if he is the right person for you as having the same values, ethics and views on money and shared finances is imperative for a long-term relationship to last. A loan application could be approved.

TAURUS
Legal matters are important now with the emphasis on contracts, negotiations and even marriage. Everything looks favourable, though you might have to compromise on some issues which is hard as you are quite stubborn and determined today. Love is comforting.

GEMINI
Your personal planet, Mercury, moves into Scorpio today putting the focus on your daily responsibilities and encouraging you to get to grips with those boring, routine tasks. Health-wise, gather as much information as you can before embarking on a new fitness plan. In love, it's time to explore all your secret fantasies.

CANCER
Trusting your man is one way to feel safe enough to relax, laugh and indulge in sensual, tactile pleasures. Mercury is encouraging you to use your mind through conversation and social activities, as well as being more creative at work.

LEO
You are probably at your most inflexible and stubborn, and Mercury moving into Scorpio won’t help. If you want to renovate, decorate your home space or even move, you’ll just do it. This is a good time to install a new computer system or buy a car. Sex is hot, but tense.

VIRGO
You are busy, busy, busy with sales, meetings, trips, being in contact with as many people as possible and telling everyone your ideas and opinions. You get good feedback, too. Siblings are important. Most of what you receive is very good news and you enjoy chatting with them. Keep your keys and documents safe.

12 October 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/12-october-2011 LIBRA
Release your creative, artistic flair in everything you do today. Looks are very important to you, but don’t let them dominate your life otherwise you’ll let something trivial like a broken nail ruin your day. Anyway, most men find it hard to live up to perfection, and who wants to live with a nag?

SCORPIO
Your flair for the dramatic is probably totally over-the-top today. This is exhilarating at first, but then becomes exhausting. Nothing at work could possibly be as bad as you imagine. That cough is most likely not lung cancer but a mild flu. This is great for your love life, though, which is all about glamour, glitz and passion.

SAGITTARIUS
Your revved up spirit might be a bit much today. Impulsive generosity could empty your bank account, while being the life and soul of the party could leave you exhausted the next morning. Give yourself a break with your man. You absolutely don’t have to be ‘doing’ all the time.

CAPRICORN
You could well impress your boss today, but if you hog all the credit, what will your colleagues say? Be careful, love-wise, as you could attract the kind of men who want you to take care of them and this will soon annoy you. You need a true partner.

AQUARIUS
Talk about big ideas! However, if you really concentrate and focus, you could turn them into something serious. Be prepared, though, for steady accomplishment rather than quick money. You need a man on your intellectual level otherwise boredom will soon set in. At least the sex will still be raunchy.

PISCES

Your steamy anger soon cools down, leaving you somewhat deflated. You could feel frustrated over financial matters, but it's no use getting angry. Talk everything through calmly and peacefully with those who matter and who can give you good, solid advice. He loves you, no matter what.

ARIES
Have you learnt how to say ‘sorry’ yet? It’s quite hard, but important as you often go too far, saying things you later regret. Crying alone is one solution, it's but better to apologise. You have very strong intuition. Use it in your love life to let your feminine side free.

TAURUS
Listen to your intuition today as it could bring you a very strong ‘ah ha’ moment – which could really help if you are serious about improving things for the less fortunate. Saturn suggests you need to be more patient and let others help you. Show your tough side today; it will surprise and interest your man.

GEMINI
You feel restless, especially if you're having to spend all day cooped up at work. You’ve probably accomplished a lot today, and this evening is the time to socialize and have some fun with friends or colleagues. Your man finds you fascinating.

CANCER

Even a slow boil produces steam in the end – and when a pot boils over, everyone gets out of the way... Instead of harming anyone’s feelings, you need to sit down and count to ten before saying anything. In your love life you are ultra sensitive today. Expect some healing, loving and buzzing sex.

LEO
Your usual optimism seems slightly dampened today, as if you are looking at the negatives instead of the positives. You are a fighter, though, and can still accomplish a lot if you just focus your mind. You need your man to be warm, romantic and boost your self-confidence again.

VIRGO
Love-wise, you are a highly sexual woman, so today is one where you should explore all your secret sensual fantasies. If there is no man around, you could try a massage, spa or other ways of pampering. Saturn, though, is warning you to watch your wallet.

11 October 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/11-october-2011 LIBRA
Are relationships worrying you in terms of holding you back or not supporting you? The Full Moon says it is time to sort out problems, so take your courage, talk, share and find a way to move forward so that you can fulfil your own dreams and goals. This won’t stop some really wild lovemaking.

SCORPIO
The Full Moon suggests it's time to take control of your body, so eat healthily, go on diet if necessary, give up smoking and have a medical and dental check up. Take a short break away from your daily routine to revitalize your body, mind and spirit. Your sexy love life is time- consuming, but the question is whether it will last.

SAGITTARIUS
You feel that something is holding you back at work. Are you socializing too much, and not getting down to the more boring, routine tasks? Do you feel your colleagues aren’t as supportive as you’d like? Take the opportunity to discuss and resolve any problems. Tension in your love life adds spice.

CAPRICORN
Too much self-indulgence and socializing could hamper your career goals and upset your colleagues. Success is within reach, especially when you use your creative ideas. Balance and moderation are needed to make the progress you want. Knowledge is power in your rapturous love life.

AQUARIUS
The emphasis is on cars, computers and communication. Have your car serviced, look after your computer and be careful what you say. You thrive when allowed to be independent, but family problems need your support and input. Playful sex lightens your mood.

PISCES
It's time for give and take, especially in your love life. Try not to quarrel with him over trivial matters, and don't panic over your finances. Sit down and think how best to move forward, and plan your budget carefully. Talk to experts and obtain as much information as possible.

ARIES
Singles, there is the chance of a new and exciting relationship, or for taking your love life to a new level of commitment – or breaking up altogether if you have different values or ideas about finance. Communicate, and share all your worries, fears and reservations. It’s the only way to move forward.

TAURUS
You have the opportunity now to talk about any issues at work or with family, friends and your partner. If you fret, you’ll be more inclined to 'comfort eat' which will play havoc with your health and your figure. The best exercise for you is mind-blowing love-making with your favourite man.

GEMINI
There is absolutely no point in indulging in self-pity or unnecessary guilt – especially if you use them to manipulate everyone into doing what you want. Instead, take on more responsibility with your work organization, committee or group. Love-wise, even your tireless needs will be satisfied.

CANCER
The emphasis is on your long-term goals, career and reputation. Make sure you think very carefully before resigning or moving on, and that any new job has the potential to fulfil your aspirations. His love and support make your love life inspirational.

LEO
You're in the mood to lead which will really help your reputation. Don’t get taken in by false promises. The Full Moon is making you restless, and you’re dying to travel, either far away or locally. Further training will satisfy your restless mind. Let your partner keep your spirits buoyant.

VIRGO
Talk to a teacher or spiritual counsellor to help you sort out any problems with finance, relationships or even the death of someone close. It's important that you sort out your core values and spending behaviour before committing yourself to a long-term relationship. Love is creative, to say the least...

10 October 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/10-october-2011 LIBRA
Although quite independent today, you show huge consideration for others which is greatly appreciated by your colleagues, friends and especially your partner. There is an underlying power struggle, though, which you do your best to hide, and your love-making seems a bit restrained.

SCORPIO
Love-wise, you are even more passionate than usual. You aren’t exactly easy today, so try to keep your demands reasonable - not just in love, but in everything you do especially regarding your work and career aspirations. It won’t help if you boil over with hardly any provocation.

SAGITTARIUS

You love your competitive spirit to be challenged - whether it's running across mountains, at work or in your love life, you need your adrenal kick. The more variety there is in your life, the better you might over-estimate your abilities. Teamwork works well today.

CAPRICORN
Finding solutions to suit everyone really works for you today in your career and in your personal life – and especially for your friends, even if your opinions are a bit forceful. Your love life can't ignored either as there is passion, romance and some great sex. Is this relationship for keeps?

AQUARIUS
You always have great ideas, but now you could actually do something about them, getting them off the ground and having them make money for you. You're in the public eye – use it to your advantage by letting everyone know just what you have to offer. Love is fun and quite exotic.

PISCES
Life is a rich mixture of tenderness and independent spirit which fascinates your man. Making money is important today – you don’t want to be reliant on anyone, but you’ll probably achieve more by working with others and getting your colleagues on your side.

ARIES
The Moon in your own sign gives you a buzzing libido, and being demure doesn’t seem to be on your agenda today as you need uncomplicated but exciting sex with a dash of romance thrown in. Try not to let impatience get the better of you at work, and show interest in what others are doing.

TAURUS

You come across as very sure of yourself today, and this energy will help you achieve success in whatever you are doing. Success makes you look good too, and this glow makes you even more attractive. This will certainly excite his lust and make him realise you are more than just a beautiful accessory.

GEMINI
You could exhaust your man as you seem sexually tireless today, ready to try all manner of new tricks. At work you are full of ideas, but many of them will be impractical and pie-in-the sky. But maybe one of them will work, and then the sky will be the limit.

CANCER
Your mind is sharper than usual, and no-one at work can trick you or get past you today. Love-wise, you're attracted to a bit of danger and excitement, despite your need for loving support. Don’t be persuaded to do anything you don’t want to.

LEO
You want your man to adore and even obey your every wish today – boring sex just won’t do it for you. At work, you need to chat to colleagues and business associates. The more you communicate your ideas, the better. There is the chance of advanced training which could help take your career up a notch or two.

VIRGO
Use all the diplomacy and tact you can find to help you make more money – charm, flattery and a sense of humour will get you everywhere. The more interested you are in your neighbourhood, the more you’ll achieve. Love is creative, passionate and driven.

9 October 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/9-october-2011 LIBRA
Your personal planet, Venus, moves into Scorpio today putting the emphasis on your relationships and the importance you place on shared integrity and values. Be ready to play peacemaker if there is an argument over money. Your charm makes him putty in your hands.

SCORPIO
Venus moves into your own sign today bringing out your sense of humour, and encouraging you to be more co-operative and charming. You attract quite a lot of notice. Do you want this though? You like your privacy, and hate being the subject of attention – unless, of course, it's coming from that perfect man…

SAGITTARIUS
As Venus moves into Scorpio you’ll be less likely to tell everyone what you're are up to. A secret love affair is possible. On the other hand you could decide you are too fat, thin, or just feeling unsociable and wanting to be alone. You need your man to tell you just how attractive you are.

CAPRICORN
You are more concerned about your own happiness through the part you play in the lives of your friends, your lover and business associates. Is it selfish? Not really – when you feel happy and confident, you make others happy too. Love thrives when there is real intimacy.

AQUARIUS

Don’t wait to be noticed – get up there and show just how cooperative and interested you can be. Venus isn’t in Scorpio for long, so take every opportunity to show off your talents. It's time now to ask for promotion. Inspired, erotic sex will satisfy.

PISCES

Venus is shining on you, encouraging you to indulge in cultural pursuits as well as to mix with people from different races and backgrounds. A romantic encounter with someone from a different country is quite possible now, and could turn into a dizzy, dynamic affair. At work, advertising campaigns will be successful.

ARIES
As Venus moves into Scorpio you’ll find it easier to obtain a mortgage or get your credit limit increased. Or, you could even receive a tax refund. Joint ventures are well starred, and marriage or a business partnership will increase your income. It's time for self-promotion at work and with friends. In love, promote him too.

TAURUS
There is harmony and co-operation in your workplace as you try to achieve common goals. Don’t worry about yourself - focus on your colleagues and your love partner. Love needs to be playful as well as passionate.

GEMINI
If you are going to have any beauty treatments, now is the time, whether dental, cosmetic or just a new hairstyle. Your work is becoming more enjoyable, and you get on well with colleagues and could even indulge in an office romance. Don’t let him become too demanding.

CANCER
Life will be more fun this month as Venus moves into Scorpio. You want more romance in your love life, and more social happenings. Your creative imagination becomes sharper, and you can make money from your projects. Self-indulgence could be a problem if carried to the extreme – but what a pleasure!

LEO
It's time to invite friends to your place, socialize at home and to participate in family gatherings. You might want to re-decorate your living space to suit you, and any property deals will be carried out easily and to your advantage. Your love life seems a bit too intense at the moment.

VIRGO
Charm, flattery and a heightened sense of humour come easily to you now that Venus has moved into Scorpio, and will make your work life much easier. Take time out for your siblings as well as participating in the affairs of your local community. Church, school or local politics could all do with your input. Love is unexpected.

8 October 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/8-october-2011 LIBRA
Quieter and more pensive than usual, you show inner poise today which hides any confusion or challenges to your judgment. You don’t have to worry; just be positive and generous at work and everything will all fall into place. Love-wise, your affectionate nature makes it all worthwhile.

SCORPIO
You could dissolve into tears and fits of despair for no apparent reason. Today, you don’t need one. The Moon is in Pisces, so just get your box of tissues and sob away if you want. But not for too long... let your creative imagination shine, and do something really memorable.

SAGITTARIUS
Who says you always have to be the life and soul of everything? Today you need some time to yourself where you can be moody, cranky and downright miserable if you want. If someone upsets you, just smile sweetly and ignore. Oddly, your sex appeal seems to be heightened.

CAPRICORN
If things at work are a bit confused, you need to ask questions and get more information. Discuss with colleagues so that the air is cleared. You’d love to relax and be a bit more frivolous, but that probably isn’t the real you. Be yourself instead.

AQUARIUS
Your self-confidence has you dealing with family and property issues in a very sensitive way. This is great for planning renovations or improving your décor. Even buying small items like a new cushion or candle brings great enjoyment. Indulge in a risk-taking venture, but get all the facts first. You're more sentimental than usual, and love flourishes.

PISCES
You can easily be manipulated by other people’s emotions leaving you both indulging in floods of tears. Try not to be too introspective – meet up with friends and colleagues to keep your spirits buoyant. Watch your health today. In love, you need your man to make you laugh.

ARIES
Love thrives because you are more maternal, understanding and sensitive to his needs. You do though need some time alone, though, over these next couple of days to think about what is worrying you. You don’t have to share your thoughts until you are ready. Use your creative imagination to express yourself.

TAURUS
Bring out your sense of humour today by visiting friends and socializing. Enjoy having an adventure! Some retail therapy will help, though limiting your spending might be a good idea. If you’ve got time, get stuck into organizing your wardrobe, and throwing out clothes you haven’t worn in years. In love, commitment is appealing.

GEMINI
You seem so busy enjoying yourself that you probably don’t have much time or energy for your sex life. If you do it’ll be a relaxed, fun affair. If your creative talents are honed, you should think about turning them into a career rather than just a hobby.

CANCER
You might try being a bit more open with your partner and family about your real feelings so they can help you deal with a very emotional Pisces Moon these next couple of days. You need your personal freedom, but today your friends help provide good fortune. In love, buttons are pushed…

LEO

Romance rules this weekend, as well as unrestrained and passionate love-making. Visiting friends and getting involved in community projects will entertain you, and you’ll instinctively know when to stay - and when to go. You could make an interesting business contact.

VIRGO
This could be your lucky weekend, but use your usual common sense – you only need one lottery ticket! Over-spending will do more damage than good at the moment. You and your man should go on a wonderful flight of the imagination. No fantasy should be ignored.

7 October 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/7-october-2011 LIBRA
Patience and deep concentration are needed if you are to make the most of this exciting day. Give up projects and even relationships that no longer work for you, but be sensitive and kind. You might need time home alone rather than going out clubbing.

SCORPIO
You feel very powerful and independent. Be patient, and control your need for immediate action. Take time out to really think and consider the consequences of your actions. If necessary let something go, and don’t expect immediate rewards – it will take time. You need a serious relationship rather than a fling.

SAGITTARIUS
It’s a day for telling your business colleagues about your plans and ideas, but do so in a serious manner, with patience and a lot of thought. Control your impulse to be irritable with people who don’t understand your concepts. Just relax and indulge them. Love, marriage and lavish sex? Yes please!

CAPRICORN
You are quite happy to do all the right things, but only if there are tangible financial rewards at the end. Saturn, your personal planet, tells you to think seriously about your future. You have the vision, now work slowly towards the end result. He’d better support your aspirations – or ship out.

AQUARIUS
You seem far more interested in enjoying new experiences than worrying about colleagues, friends or your lovers. You might think about offering some help, advice and support to those who need it. Asking your man how his day went will be a start...

PISCES
Your vision is to help everyone in a big way, sharing your values and making the world a better place. Patience is needed as you handle financial responsibilities, paying debts and learning to be independent. Try not to let heavy emotions get in the way of a fun sex life.

ARIES
You can be whatever you want in life. You have the inner fire and the independent spirit, though might have to work on the sense of humour. Your slight aloofness in your love life might be upsetting to your man, but your love of the exotic is more than satisfying.

TAURUS
All work and not much play doesn’t suit you. You aren’t exactly lazy, but probably only work so you can have the best of everything, and as many holidays as you can fit in. Keep smiling, even if you are crying inside. Many men find perfection hard to live up to. Let go, and enjoy a bit of mess.

GEMINI

Your intuition is working overtime at the moment – see the vision, and use your creativity and imagination to get you wherever you want to be. You are flying so high you could reach the Moon. Romance is there for the taking, and could happen with someone totally different to your usual lovers.

CANCER
You could find moodiness a bit of a problem today. If necessary, take time out at home where you feel safe and secure. Let your family bring comfort, and help deal with all the problems of running a home. Everyone is willing to help, and love is fabulously chaotic and wild.

LEO
Your management skills shine today so take the lead and show everyone how it's done. Your relaxed friendliness means no-one gets upset – except for a male colleague who might accuse you of bossiness. In love though, let him take the lead.

VIRGO
It is time to wind down for the weekend, so you probably need to ensure that you have the money you need and that your bills are paid so that you can give yourself up to enjoyment. The more adaptable you are, the easier you’ll find it to relax. Love-wise, you need to mix reality with fantasy.

6 October 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/6-october-2011 LIBRA
You think you're being logical and cool, but something seems to be clouding your vision, leading to misunderstandings. The same goes with your latest lover: your judgment just isn’t sound today, so don’t make hasty decisions.

SCORPIO
Not the best day to make decisions regarding your home or family – it’s a day to think, consider and sift through all the information at hand: what works for you and what doesn’t? Don’t run away; it's time to mix emotion with logic. Self-righteousness will upset your man.

SAGITTARIUS
You want to be with your friends, or at least be in touch with them, socializing as much as possible - but be careful what you say. Otherwise, what you think is an innocent remark could be very upsetting to friends and colleagues alike. You might feel self-reliant today, but you need a man to spoil you. And he will.

CAPRICORN
Don’t upset those in authority at work. You know logically what you need to do to make more money, but something unexpected could crop up which upsets you or makes you rethink your financial strategy. If you let anger take over, it’ll be hard to put it right. Love is a battle, but there is wonderful love-making.

AQUARIUS
If there is boring work to be done, you’d rather spend the day studying, travelling or bossing everyone around. You're a good organizer, but be aware that not everyone takes kindly to your ideas. There could be a serious misunderstanding. Your sex-life is inspired, though – enjoy!

PISCES
Health-wise, don’t ignore a medical issue that needs your input or that of someone close. Your sense of responsibility will keep it all together, especially if things aren’t as clear as you’d like. Try to be as rational as you can without losing your compassion. Love is both supportive and erotic.

ARIES
Not everyone wants to do things your way, even though logical planning and energetic passion combine to make you convinced that you are right. You probably are, but let others have their say. Love-wise, you refuse any limits - lucky man!

TAURUS
Work and career are your main interests at the moment, especially if you’ve just started a new project or job. Try to see the big picture as well as all the small details. The efficient way you tackle daily responsibilities is admired. Love-wise, listen as well as speaking if you want really amazing love-making.

GEMINI
Your usual sixth sense about people could be a bit clouded today – not everything is as it seems, so don’t make instant judgments or decisions. Be careful on the road, and don’t drive too fast or take chances – accidents can easily happen. You're hungry for love, and could rush into a relationship too quickly.

CANCER

A misunderstanding over a property deal or family issue could be more to do with your stubborn pride than with reality. Be very careful who you agree or disagree with. Let your emotional sensitivity show through if you want to attract good will. Love-making is both exhilarating and tiring.

LEO
A misunderstanding with your favourite man makes you want to rush away, and discuss with friends or whoever will listen. This is not a good idea. Instead of getting carried away with the moment, try to think as clearly as possible. Blowing your top really won’t help, and too many demands will put your man off.

VIRGO
Being organized will certainly help get your finances in order, especially if you’ve been over-spending - which certainly won’t impress anyone. You are quite cool in your love life, but oddly this doesn’t mar your sex-life which is satisfying most of your fantasies.

5 October 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/5-october-2011 LIBRA
Full of spark and wit, you enjoy the fun and romance but maybe not the hot steamy sex… You are full of ideas and ready to chat and laugh. You need a meeting of minds rather than only of bodies. Use your imagination at work in your usual flamboyant way and it will make you money.

SCORPIO
You could feel more maternal than usual, especially towards your man. Use these feelings to nurture and encourage rather than smother him. Follow your goals, and your family will help you achieve success. At work your independent views will be appreciated.

SAGITTARIUS
Self- reliance is the key word today as you play a large role in the lives of your friends, fellow club members and business colleagues. Your leadership qualities make you invaluable, as long as you aren’t arrogant or overly proud. You need your man to lavish attention on you.

CAPRICORN
You are in ultra-capable mode today as you turn your hands and mind to anything and everything. You need to make everyone realise just what you can do, so don’t be a shrinking violet, be a bright brassy rose. You need perfection in bed – just let go a bit.

AQUARIUS
You could be a bit cool today, too busy organizing, planning and being self-sufficient to give in to your man’s emotional needs. Don’t worry, he’ll probably think it is just your way of dealing with PMS. Tell him about some of your new ideas – he could help you take them forward.

PISCES
Everything you do is big and bold, from your emotions to your work. Eroticism is the name of your sexual games. Though your mood could start off quite dark, your man should soon be able to snap you out of them. Think carefully about borrowing money, even for your company. Get all the facts and figures first.

ARIES
Love, friendship and a lot of romance are all there today, but you seem to be in quite a serious mood. You could change quickly from dashing around to thinking and planning. This is good for business if you are able to keep tabs on everything. Love is erotic.

TAURUS
You need your man to listen to what you have to say today, even hanging onto your every word - in return for some stellar sex. Everyone listens to you at work, and your independent spirit shines through and they seem very happy to follow your lead.

GEMINI
Listen to your intuition - you seem to have a sixth sense today to know when to keep on with what you are doing and when to change course. Your love life could be a bit unstable as you search for perfection – but if he is the one, generosity rules.

CANCER
Your personal warmth and sincerity shine on everyone like a beacon today, especially at home with your family. This is a good time to ask for a mortgage or loan for your property. Make sure you have all the facts and figures at hand. In love passion rules which is exhausting, but amazing.

LEO
Dignity rules today which is great for your business and career where you need to ask for advice and information in a serious way. But this isn’t so good in the bedroom where you need to let go and enjoy some really wild lovemaking.

VIRGO

Your mind is on your work and earning money, but if anyone is in trouble or needs your advice you’ll really be there for them today. If, on the other hand, this is just for something trivial, you won't have the time or patience. Love is a big surprise… Enjoy!

4 October 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/4-october-2011 LIBRA
If you are buying, selling or renting property, now is the time to go for what you want. Listen to what others have to say, but it is your needs and wants that should be your priority. Career-wise, it will be best to work with others rather than alone, but you should still promote yourself. In love, it's best when you boost one another's confidence.

SCORPIO
Ambition rules today, but it's time to think, ponder, investigate and ask questions before you take action. You ooze confidence in your love life, and the more generous and positive you are the more you’ll succeed. If you're obsessive about your lover you should aim for moderation.

SAGITTARIUS
Let your leadership qualities shine through. You are like a shining star, making everyone feel confident and uplifted. This is a very good time for job hunters, and you can make things happen now. But, keep your overly competitive spirit under wraps a bit. Sex-wise, audacity wins.

CAPRICORN
Don’t let self-control take over, otherwise you’ll end up a bag of nerves. Taking time for a bit of self-indulgence will do you the world of good; take a few risks too. Love-wise, you need him to be your best friend, sharing your values as well as your bed. Does he?

AQUARIUS

Is it time to play more and have a break from the career-minded, hard-working and ambitious woman you are? Take time out to relax – a visit to the spa or having a few beauty treatments will help. Whatever you do, don’t work so hard you lose your wacky sense of humour! In love, don’t let him think you're a know-it-all.

PISCES

When you're at peace with the world you can let your wildest dreams come true. Love-wise, being both sensitive and tactile will bring your man the greatest pleasure - and who knows what it will bring you? The time is right to develop your work talents to the fullest.

ARIES
You know exactly what you want and how to get there so don’t delay. Be forceful, but gentle – you can rely on those with the power to help you now. This is a great time for negotiating contracts and partnerships, and legal advice might help. In love, anything goes.

TAURUS

Be aware of what everyone actually wants and needs, and use this knowledge to help you succeed. Your sweetness helps too. There is good news about your work aspirations, and you could be offered promotion or a new job. Love-wise, you are more demanding than usual – good for you.

GEMINI
The chances of enjoying a romantic as well as more passionate love life are increasing, but you don’t really enjoy anything too emotional and heavy, so do your best to keep everything as light and carefree as you like it. A matter concerning debt needs your attention.

CANCER
Whether you are in a permanent relationship or not, your understanding and support are welcomed by your partner. There is a lot going on at home, but you can be quite a work-horse so get stuck in and finish all the jobs that have to be done.

LEO
Don’t be afraid of telling everyone what you want today. Work with your man if you're in a committed relationship; otherwise, just go it alone. You have all the resources you need so don’t be put off. At work share ideas, discuss and investigate – success is waiting.

VIRGO
Financially, you are still on a high, so use your creative mind to make even more money. However, keep your imagination within the bounds of reality if you want to make the most of this time. At work your quiet magnetism rather than flash helps you succeed. Love might be a bit predictable today.

3 October 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/3-october-2011 LIBRA
A day for making decisions and standing up for what you think is right - but you need to make sure you think everything through very carefully and discuss calmly, as you could rush in with some overly hasty opinions. A night at home with family or your favourite man will bring emotional support.

SCORPIO
Human rights and women’s issues could take up your time today. See how you could make a paid career from these issues rather than just having them as a passing interest. You are a true leader, remember, so use those ideas. Sexual tension in your love life brings excitement.

SAGITTARIUS

With Mars aspecting your personal planet Jupiter you are in the mood for a fight, and argue with anyone who doesn’t subscribe to your ethics or values. Don’t be too quick to react. Discuss issues with friends, business associates and groups, and don’t take yourself too seriously. Love is bold and brassy.

CAPRICORN

Ambition rules today, and it's all about how to achieve in your career no matter what it is. Now is the time to discuss with others, and borrow money if necessary to help further your aims. Use your imagination, and visualise a future of total success. You need love to be cosy and warm.

AQUARIUS
The more you can keep your sense of humour and sense of fun, the more your love life will be a sexy, wild affair. Socially, you probably feel like you need a break to meet new people and make interesting new friends. Do you need further training to reach the next career level? Go for it!

PISCES
The day starts with you being unusually level-headed, especially regarding joint income or business partnerships. If you want a bank loan, this is a good time to ask. Later, your love life will be inspirational and creative. Let your intuition rule.

ARIES
Sometimes you go for a complicated love life, and drama rules today. There is love and romance which could be marred by your need to rule. Arguments over money could become totally explosive, so count to ten before you speak. A session at the gym may release some pent up feelings.

TAURUS
You believe in fairness in everything, and stability and honesty are the key words today at work. Your warmth and affection help you keep colleagues and workmates on your side. In love, you want the best of everything, and seem to be getting it now.

GEMINI
Are you the light, airy person you think you are? Today you are more than usually determined, and you let your ambition shine through in an almost coldly determined way. This will help you make money from your imaginative ideas. Love-wise, don’t let him smother your need for romance.

CANCER
If matters to do with family and property are getting too heavy, you need to let love shine through – it could be a mind blowing experience. You could be spending time and energy on your financial concerns. It is important that you organize your accounts and don’t delay paying bills.

LEO
Direct all that energy towards your work projects, and getting your ideas into concrete form – this is a powerful time for you, so don’t let anyone or anything stand in your way if you want your career to really take off. Your love life needs to be equally stylish. Ambition reigns today.

VIRGO
You may come across as quite traditional, even restrained today – but there is a quiet sexual magnetism about you that is extremely attractive. This is a highly successful month for your finances. Today you should use both your imagination and your intuition.

2 October 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/2-october-2011 LIBRA
Go on, this is your month – what will make you happy? What’s your idea of an adventure? Your finances are improving, and Lady Luck is shining on you, though not if you are extravagant or wasteful. Build up your man’s confidence, and he will love you even more.

SCORPIO
You are affectionate but just a bit aloof today, not wanting anyone too near – except, of course, for your man. But you’d prefer the two of you to be alone in cloistered togetherness. At work you want to make things happen for you, so take the initiative. You don’t have to tell anyone else.

SAGITTARIUS
Sensitive in the extreme today, this is an emotional day as you veer from high to low and back again. Try to keep focussed. Your finances look good, and friends and business associates are very supportive. Love-wise, are you ready for commitment?

CAPRICORN
Your career is great, and even better with your personal planet Saturn in such good aspect – you face all problems easily and successfully. Give yourself time to rest, relax and to eat healthily so that ailments can’t affect you. Romance can blossom, as long as you are both serious.

AQUARIUS
Stop trying to analyse so much – go with your emotions. Instead of trying to run away, take him with you if you really love him. In financial matters use your intuition together with your sharp mind.

PISCES

You gain financially from the help you receive from other people. If you need a loan or additional credit, get your facts and figures together before you approach the bank. Focus on your health, and getting your body fit and trim. This will build your self-confidence, too – and your career and love life both win.

ARIES
It isn’t just the influence you have over your man that is important, it is how you get everyone (colleagues, friends etc.) to co-operate with you that really counts today. Speaking of your man, you just love living dangerously so have fun but remember that you have to live with the consequences.

TAURUS
Don’t forget to have that medical and dental check as well as indulging in some beauty treatments. Take time out with friends for a day of pampering at the spa which will boost your immune system in a fun way. Work any overtime with a generous spirit even if you don’t feel like it. Can anyone satisfy your libido today?

GEMINI
Love-wise, you could be living on air at the moment, you feel so high… Try to come down to earth long enough to see to your finances. You are full of ideas and imagination so put them to good use in a practical way. Take the initiative and you’ll accomplish everything.

CANCER
You are highly sensitive, but could send out some verbal arrows which hurt others so be careful what you say - especially to your colleagues. Family and property matters are still the most important matters. Organize yourself, and stick to your plans.

LEO
Your imagination is flying high, bringing passion and excitement to everything you do. Information on anything of interest comes pouring, in including gossip – you’ll need to sift through to find what is important and what to discard. Romantic luxury is needed.

VIRGO
If your love life is stressful, ignore it today – this is the time to think about your financial goals. Use your intuition; even your dreams will have something to tell you. Visit your family today or invite them over – today is for relaxing and enjoying their support.

1 October 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/1-october-2011 LIBRA
You certainly attract attention today, but this is the time to think carefully about your relationships. It's time to face all your problems before making a commitment. In love, there are no limitations. Taking a leadership role, especially with business associates, friends and social groups will help make your life just as you want it to be.

SCORPIO

Direct your energy towards achieving your goals, but also spend some time alone, gaining inner strength and determination, while you think very carefully about what it is you really want. Health-wise, a member of your family or close friend might need your support. In love, eroticism wins.

SAGITTARIUS
You probably think you own the world – and you do. It's all about new friends, old friends, hearing from people abroad, travelling, moving and studying. You are an inspiration to everyone around you, though you could be a bit exhausting to be around. Love is like something out of a movie.

CAPRICORN
Worried about your future and your reputation? You don’t have to be! Give yourself some time to think about how to improve your finances, but even these are falling into place without much effort on your part. You want everyone to see just what a glamorous and ambitious woman you are – hopefully with a man to match.

AQUARIUS
Take this opportunity to look at your talents and see if you have the right qualifications to take you up the career ladder. You probably want to travel, meet up with people from different backgrounds, and widen your horizons. A new relationship promises to satisfy your lust.

PISCES
Joint resources and assets and even dealing with an inheritance could be stressful. There has to be a common goal and shared values if your relationship is to be in for the long haul. Sort out any differences sooner rather than later. You might be a bit of a gypsy, but even you can’t run forever.

ARIES
Today is one where you should think about others, especially the man in your life, rather than yourself. Take contracts and negotiations very seriously – you might want some legal or professional advice. Love-wise, you aren’t bothered by convention or rules. Anything goes today.

TAURUS
How are you getting on with colleagues? Do your best to keep a good relationship with everyone at work, but an office romance might not be the best idea, so be very sure before you get involved - it all could end in tears. Instead, use your energy on getting your office space clean and decorated.

GEMINI
Today is all about having as much fun as possible – taking part in social events and taking a few risks are all on your agenda. Saturn warns you that you should take care, though, and think about the end results. If you shy away from your responsibilities you’ll regret it later. In love, you need to be the boss.

CANCER
You need to make the effort today to improve your domestic arrangements – both where you live as well as your relationship with your family. When this is happy, you feel far healthier. An unhappy, sick Cancerian is a well of self-pity. You need your man to be lively enough to snap you out of your moods.

LEO
Only one thing can mar your day – spending more money than you can afford. Stop fretting, talk it through if necessary and let your luxury life rule. You exude glamour and style, even if you're living on a show-string. Your sex-life lives up to your dreams too.

VIRGO
It isn’t lady luck that brings you money at the moment – it's the results of your hard work. Give yourself time for love and relationships, and for your family. Being of service is great, but you do need some fun time out too. Tell him what you want and need.

30 September 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/30-september-2011 LIBRA
Although you are ready to take action and know exactly what to do about your finances, you are more conservative today, and ready to listen to what experts have to say. This means you take full advantage of investment and earning opportunities. You let him take the lead in your love life.

SCORPIO
The passion and intensity is still there, but you can relax a bit as you know you are making a breakthrough. Take time out to think and consider your next move instead of rushing in. You can rely on most people’s co-operation. Don’t take your partner for granted.

SAGITTARIUS
You’ll probably be asked to help someone who is ill, and you can rely on your colleagues and business associates to cover for you. If you do too much, you’ll need some medical help yourself, so make sure you get enough rest. In love, he helps you shine.

CAPRICORN
Your ability to make the right business decisions in a conservative way combined with the need to get results makes this a very successful day at work. Instead of passionate outbursts, your special brand of diplomacy will help. Love is satisfyingly intense.

AQUARIUS
As usual, your need for freedom overrides everything else, but by using economy and stability as your buzz words you will achieve even more than usual. Your love life, which is usually quite unemotional, could easily become serious. Are you absolutely sure that he is what you want?

PISCES
Your body needs attention. Instead of thinking about what you take in (food, pills etc.), consider a detox as the Scorpio/Pluto influence wants you to free your body and life of anything that's no longer needed. This means taking shoes and clothes you don’t wear to the Charity shop. And old lovers may have to go too.

ARIES
You probably think you are the prize every man wants, and you use every trick in the book to make it happen. Finances are important. Looking good is one thing, but trying to impress by wasting money is another. Using loyalty and economy might help today, along with dynamic sexual passion.

TAURUS
At work it is your good business acumen that will see you win over your rivals. There is some pressure and tension, but your ability to use diplomacy when needed soon gets everyone on your side. Your love life is picking up. Don’t over-indulge!

GEMINI
You have found the practical solutions, and now your ability to tell everyone what you are doing in a charming but decisive way makes everyone sit up and listen. Your love life seems less frenetic and more serene as you go with the flow.

CANCER

Not everything you do is always successful, but you can certainly count on those who matter as your new enthusiasm keeps them interested. You are there for your family and those closest to you, and they are there for you. Nostalgia rules your love life, but be sensitive to his needs too.

LEO
A Pluto/Scorpio influence always brings matters to a head for you as you become tense and ready to overreact whether at work, with family or in love matters. Don’t make important decisions today – wait for a couple of days.

VIRGO
The intensity and passion you put into everything you say and do might be overpowering to some people today, especially if this is to do with investments or joint ventures. Whatever you do you’ll succeed as you are on a financial high. Your love life is improving rapidly as you take your power.

29 September 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/29-september-2011 LIBRA
Love-wise, who is going to give way first? Passion rules, but there needs to be trust and sharing. Make things happen at work – you don’t have to wait for others to show you the way. For greatest success, use all that energy and vitality when you talk to business associates and you won’t fail.

SCORPIO
The Moon is in your own sign and Pluto is dominant, making you even more dramatic and emotional than usual. What you do now will either help or hinder your career. You can handle the fast pace, though you’ll need some quiet me-time to recover. Obsession rules.

SAGITTARIUS
Friends will help keep you light and upbeat when the Scorpio Moon gets too heavy and emotional. It is time to motivate yourself to do the things you want including feeling free to travel and have some adventures. You’ll have to work hard to make the money to pay for it all – let Mars and Pluto provide the motivation.

CAPRICORN
You can use all the power and energy in your career and social life to make things really happen for you – you are the leader, and the one taking the initiative. You are very supportive of your man, but there is a certain inhibition and conservatism today.

AQUARIUS

Career-wise, you have everything it takes today – passion, drive and a competitive spirit. Your professional status becomes your priority, and you look at pursuing a higher education or training. Your love life is intense and dramatic, but maybe not very nurturing.

PISCES
Love and passion rule today, but the emotional outbursts could leave you quite exhausted. At work, your ability to concentrate helps you achieve. This is also a good time for borrowing money or collecting money owed. Use all the diplomacy you can.

ARIES
You could easily become a bit too emotional, dramatic and intense as you try to make your relationships (business and love) work according to your plans, directing your energy into too many things at the same time. Use your charm and elicit cooperation, and life will be much easier.

TAURUS
Take the initiative at work. You can achieve everything you want now as you can handle any stress and solve all problems. Love-wise, high emotions and passion bring healing as well as satisfying all your sexual needs. Diet and exercise will help. Remember a fit, lean body does wonders for your self-esteem - and your sex-life.

GEMINI
You need your man to be reliant on you while you dash around chatting, talking and lighting up everyone else’s lives. This power over everyone can be a weakness as you become weighed down by everyone’s problems. In love, only lavishness will satisfy.

CANCER
You need sensitivity and intimacy, but jealousy could be a bit of a problem tonight, ending in a box of tissues rather than warmth. Focus on using your imagination in a creative, loving way rather than letting it run away with you. Career and family need to be balanced.

LEO
Possessiveness could be your downfall this evening as you need total loyalty. Try not to burst into anger, but keep your cool no matter what the provocation - or just because you feel like it. Communication is key, so watch your body language at work – and his at home.

VIRGO
You are probably far more complex than you seem from the outside today, and quite ready to show your power in an intense, emotional and dramatic way which will make everyone from your lover to your boss sit up and think. Finances are good – talk to an expert for investment advice.

28 September 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/28-september-2011 LIBRA
Whatever you do, you want the results now, immediately, without having to wait… Don’t overload your already busy schedule as you want time to indulge in your very erotic love-life – and you have some very experimental ideas you want to try out.

SCORPIO
You can make things happen at work both for yourself and for others who work with you, though you are probably more self-motivated than the rest. Your ambitions will soon be realized if you go on at this rate, and leadership is almost guaranteed. He will worship you even more.

SAGITTARIUS
If you have the chance of indulging in cultural pursuits do so, even if they take you out of your usual comfort zone - who knows where it will lead when you combine creative talents with business acumen? Your love life is equally progressive.

CAPRICORN

PISCES
Who or what are you trying to escape from? Messages seem very blurred, and you don’t seem to know what you want. Focus on your work with enthusiasm, even allowing yourself to become more aggressive when necessary. In love, things will fall into place.

ARIES
It's easy for you to find all the practical solutions you need, especially when dealing with social events and speculative ventures. You are more creative than usual, and able to think out of the box. You have a need for sexual freedom today, even if it is only in your mind! Go on, fantasize…

GEMINI
You have many ideas about dealing with neighbours and local community affairs. Your clarity of mind and assertiveness means everyone will listen, and you’ll be able to persuade people to do what you want. This doesn’t mean your man will be a push-over, but you don’t have much time for love.

CANCER

27 September 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/27-september-2011 LIBRA
You want to make things happen today, but in your own, independent self-expressive way so that you feel nurtured rather than stressed. You know what you want, and your mind is clear as to how to go about it. A bit of tension in your love life will help liven it up.

SCORPIO
At work your enthusiasm brings great success. The New Moon is in Libra bringing inner harmony, but which today suggests you need some private time alone. Why not take a long bath by candlelight with some soft music, and then let your favourite man give you a massage. Watch your body language!

SAGITTARIUS
The challenge is to lift yourself above your usual limitations. The sky really is the limit, but you still manage to accomplish everything. Friends, old and new, provide all the fun and enjoyment – and challenge some of your views. In love, let go and 'free fall'.

CAPRICORN
The New Moon brings more public recognition for everything you do, and you see that the result of all your hard work is that your ambitions can be realized. You are a fighter for what you want, as well as being very sociable. Add charm to the mix, and you are unbeatable.

AQUARIUS
Be generous with both your time and money. Your sincerity will help you in the long-term. Love-wise, you don’t really enjoy long relationships. You are faithful when in one, but soon tire and want to move on. Today your inventiveness borders on self-indulgence. Enjoy!

PISCES
Try to avoid worrying about your health too much or it’ll smack of hypochondria… Let your favourite man bring some passion to spice up your love-life today. If you need to borrow money or collect money owed to you, today is really a good time. Don’t hold back.

ARIES
Relationships aren’t just about sex, even if this is your favourite part – today is all about compromise and co-operation. You are known for being forceful and strong, and today is a good time to ask for advice and help as well as to listen to your partner’s problems. Sex will be wild.

TAURUS
When you take pride in your work you achieve so much more. Today your optimism keeps you up-beat no matter what is going on. A lot of good things are coming your way so don’t hold back - take advantage of them. You need your man to take the lead today.

GEMINI
Your creativity is almost flamboyant today. Social events and other entertainments are fun, and spark your imagination – and if you can combine business with pleasure you will achieve even more. But, will your man follow you?

CANCER
When it comes to your love-life and sexuality, you are one of the most open and liberal of all the signs. Today is no exception, so enjoy whatever it brings but remember you don’t have to go too far. You can rely on your family connections to help your success at work today.

LEO
You are in for a busy time as you want to study, read and learn, but also to get involved in local community affairs and see your siblings. Balance these needs with your work commitments, but still give yourself time to eat and sleep. Love is about compromise.

Don’t sit back, waiting for things to happen – do it! No matter what you feel like, just get on with whatever inspires you. Take the initiative to discuss business matters with your associates so that your problems can be solved easily and decisively. Love seems a bit tame for you…

SCORPIO
You are gaining remarkable inner strength, determination and the courage to do whatever has to be done, no matter how hard it is to you. At work your computer could break down, so you lose a lot of technical data – make sure you back up. Feminine sweetness is needed in your love life.

SAGITTARIUS
Not only do you have some innovative ideas, but you are eager to sound them out with your business colleagues. This could mean getting publicity for your work and even an overseas trip. Don’t hold back – do what you have to do. Encourage your man to help you achieve.

CAPRICORN
If your reputation is on the line, you must take action to ensure your achievements are recognised not only by your colleagues but by a greater public in the best way possible. Put on some music, cook up a storm, and do whatever you have to do to ensure your man is as hot as you.

AQUARIUS
You're more creative than usual, and your love life really shines. Whatever you need to do to reach the top in your profession, do it now while you have the energy, decisiveness and clarity of mind. Even if your ideas are even more radical than usual.

PISCES
If someone owes you money or you need to borrow money now is the time to take the right action to make it happen. You know exactly what to say, and how to say it… Think what you can do, then take the initiative. In love, you easily deal with any obstacles? Go for who and what you want.

ARIES
You find it far easier to elicit everyone’s co-operation at work today, even if they do think you are strong, independent and even domineering at times. If your partner thinks you are too bossy, now is the time to show him your softer, more romantic side.

TAURUS
Think about what motivates you at work, and whether you are taking pride in your responsibilities. Health-wise, you hear about a radical new health treatment which challenges your views on diet and exercise. Research thoroughly before embarking on anything new. In love, don’t be too virtuous.

GEMINI
In your love life your imagination soars, and Mars suggests you make it all happen, no matter how original, creative or fantastic. Romance becomes self-indulgence which, in turn, can be quite tempestuous. Use these same skills at work and you won’t go wrong.

CANCER
Family relationships are the key to your happiness. Taking the initiative is one thing but if you are too dominant and bossy you could drive away the very support you need. Career-wise, you are more unconventional than usual as you take on some radical ideas.

LEO
When you aren’t too passive you can expect fun, lively love-making. This isn’t the time to be too fixed and rigid in your views or else somebody will challenge you. You can make anything and everything happen as you want now. Motivate yourself!

VIRGO
You would just love it if you and your man could stay curled up together forever… Unfortunately, the mundane world intervenes, and you have to earn a living. This is a very good month for your finances and you can make it even stronger. Don’t take too many risks, and think before you make changes.

25 September 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/25-september-2011 LIBRA
Today you act as a go-between, making the peace and bringing harmony wherever you go. Your ideas at work challenge everyone to think and explore new ways of looking at every situation. There is not much passion love-wise, but it's sweet and tender – and you can do whatever you want.

SCORPIO
It's probably best to keep your ideas to yourself for a while - at least until you have really thought them through. Listen to your intuition, and you could understand matters that have been puzzling you. Are you on the same wavelength as your man? This is important!

SAGITTARIUS
Love-wise, you are both romantic and practical which is a rare combination, so take your relationship to the next level. Your personal network of friends and business associates are supportive, and give you all the latest information and gossip.

CAPRICORN
You can hide your fears if you have to give your ideas and information to a wide audience – make sure you are organized and have all the facts and figures, and you can’t go wrong. You could tense your muscles during this busy time, so get your man to massage your neck and shoulders.

AQUARIUS
You are far more emotional than usual which is uncomfortable for you. Just think in as broad a way as possible and be in touch with friends who live far away, or make plans to travel. If you are interested in politics or local community affairs, get involved. Realize those fantasies.

PISCES
You could easily fall head over heels in love with someone whether or not they are suitable, or even whether you actually like them. You would also do anything to hold on to a relationship even if it has died a natural death. It's time to toughen up, be resourceful and take your power back, both in love and at work.

ARIES
Lawyers, legal matters and contracts all come under the spotlight if you want partnerships and joint ventures, including marriage, to be mutually beneficial and successful. Success comes when you pay attention to the small details as well as the larger concept.

TAURUS

As Mercury moves into Libra you will need all your charm and poise, along with some common sense, if you want to take advantage of the good news regarding your work assignments. The more organized you are, the easier it’ll be. He seems to be a safe choice, and is still doing it for you in bed.

GEMINI
You love talking, and Mercury in Libra adds creative writing and speaking projects to your field of expertise. Keep travel and other tickets safe this month. Your love life looks to be exciting, but a bit of a challenge – try action instead of talking all the time.

CANCER
Your home and family are the subject of great discussions, especially if transport is involved. If moving house, make sure you don’t have to travel too far to your work and shops. Property transactions will be successful despite a few delays. Don’t give in to your moods if you want romance to flourish.

LEO
You are in for a busy few weeks as Mercury moves into Libra. Meetings will be successful, and everyone listens enthusiastically to your ideas, methods and information. Keep your documents in a safe and secure place. Love is lively, as long as you avoid jealousy.

VIRGO
Everything you do these next few weeks seems to involve finance – you're earning money, paying bills, and discussing your potential earnings. There could be a mistake in an account or bank statement, so be sure to check. Is love a bit too puritanical today?

Look at your life, your ambitions and reputation – are they going in the direction you want? What can you do to improve things? Make sure your relationship with those in authority is good and that they appreciate everything you do. Love-wise, you are a bit of a snob, which may not suit your man.

AQUARIUS
You will want to spend more time on further training, expanding your spiritual awareness and taking a few risks to spice up your life. You have itchy feet now and are ready to travel and have more excitement. Your love life is also more energetic and passionate.

PISCES
Money comes to you through others - either family, business, a love partner or an inheritance. It's important that you make yourself financially independent, so research how you can do this, and what the best career would be. Love and romance are unrestrained.

ARIES
Your social life suddenly improves dramatically, and you won't be getting much me-time. Romance is there for singles, and falling in love at first sight is a possibility, but you could need more commitment. Don’t rush into anything you might regret. Ambitions at work are being fulfilled too.

TAURUS
The Sun moving into Libra emphasises work ethics and the pride you take in your daily responsibilities. Get a new hairstyle, a beauty treatment, a medical check-up and make sure your body is in tip-top condition. Your home and family are your support today. Can you resist his power?

VIRGO
The focus is on your finances which can either boost or diminish your self-esteem if you place too much importance on them. Make sure you value yourself and not your possessions. You do seem to be making good progress in achieving your monetary goals, however. In love, stay feminine.

SAGITTARIUS

GEMINI
A special new relationship could easily come your way now. Be realistic as you know how much you love your freedom and could easily get bored with all the doting attention you are receiving now. Take it slowly, and offer and receive love with no regrets rather than avoiding commitment.

After some easier days, the stars are not being so helpful today. Someone might not pay you on time or at all, or you suddenly need to pay a debt you’d forgotten about. The key is to be self-reliant and resourceful during the day, and to let your man comfort you tonight.

SCORPIO
Logic could fly out of the window if you allow your emotions to take control, so your opinions can’t always be trusted. At least intensity and passion don't wane. Eroticism in your love life is amazing, but jealousy causes tension.

SAGITTARIUS

Your enthusiasm is infectious, though it's hard for you to concentrate on any one thing. You have strong opinions, even when you have no idea what you're talking about. If anyone owes you money, it's time to collect it – and also to pay your debts. Unpredictability makes your love life very exciting.

Your concern for others does you proud today, and is really appreciated by those who need your help, though they might consider you a bit intimidating. You and your man seem to be in a very comfortable (but not that exciting) rut.

AQUARIUS

TAURUS
You love dressing up to excite your man, and today is perfect for those kinds of fantasies. Don’t ignore your family – socializing with them will ease any old, lingering tensions. You could easily achieve a business goal if you think carefully first.

GEMINI
When dealing with finances, think before you speak or get angry as you don’t want to upset anyone. This is a good time to get your car serviced, check your tyres and generally make sure you are safe on the road. Love-wise, unusually for you, you need nurturing.

CANCER
You are ultra-sensitive today and using your hard, outer shell to protect you from all hurts, especially the imagined ones. You take comfort in your bedroom, even in an un-made bed surrounded by piles of clothes. Let’s hope all he wants is cosy cuddling tonight...

LEO
Your saving grace today is your sense of humour, otherwise your competitive spirit would be too much for anyone to handle. You want to win at everything you do, but you do it with such good grace today no-one minds – not even your man.

AQUARIUS
Mars moving into Leo puts the emphasis on business partnerships and other alliances, including love relationships. You will be stimulated into action, but realise you can accomplish far more with others than on your own. This is great for your love partner.

LEO

You should at least try to resist him, or has he become an obsession? When it's working for you your life becomes stable, peaceful and nurturing – but when it’s bad everyone should keep away.

SAGITTARIUS
You might not be able to afford all these groups and clubs you belong to. If finance is a problem, choose the ones you really enjoy and let the rest go. Love should be fun and stimulating rather than heavy and passionate.

CAPRICORN
A little bit of naughty love-making will relieve the pressure of too much work, and provide the fun at the end of this busy day. Make new contacts, but don’t be too dogmatic – listen as well as talking, even when taking the lead.

AQUARIUS
The Sun is in harmony with the Gemini Moon which is ideal for your love life whether in a relationship or just having a fling. Work-wise, it’s time to use your creative talents to make more money and to keep ahead of all the work.

PISCES
You have a very sweet nature, and today sees you having real sympathy with anyone in trouble, especially members of your extended family. Love, romance and passion rule as well today. You enjoy being the princess, and men love your feminine ways.

ARIES
This is definitely not a day to be alone, so make the effort to socialize, meet up with friends, and organize your social life to suit you. You're in the mood for being carefree. The same goes for your love-life – it should be a party, with lots of laughter and fun love-making.

TAURUS
Try to avoid rushing into a new love affair. You don't have to be stand-offish, but take it slowly so that love doesn’t turn to hate when early promises aren't fulfilled. Your creative talents could make you money - don’t waste them.

GEMINI
Today isn’t one for intensity in any area. You are restless and ready to meet up with friends for a gossip over a coffee or glass of wine. Your love life has to be equally fun, sociable and creative rather than heavy and passionate.

CANCER
Home is where the heart is, but it might not be offering the security you need which makes you a bit nervous. Don't say too much - keep your secrets to yourself. There is a bit of tension in your love life, perhaps with jealousy raising its ugly head. There is great action in bed, though.

LEO
If he tries to bring you down and squash your spontaneity, you have to learn to toughen up. Laugh it off and not to take it to heart. Take the time to visit and socialize with your friends – they’ll be only too willing to boost your self-confidence.

17 September 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/-17-september-2011 VIRGO
Destiny is quietly leading you to reap material rewards. You need to live your life free of worry by keeping a grip on your finances in a disciplined way while still remembering that the more you give, the more you receive. In love, when is enough enough?

LIBRA
If you’ve been feeling less than satisfied with your body, now is the time to take charge and see yourself as the beautiful, loving person you really are. Use Neptune’s imaginative magic to transform yourself and your life. Love is everywhere.

SCORPIO
Over-confidence and optimism could bring on a difference of opinion with your partner – be aware of what he wants, and compromise. Be spontaneous with friends rather than planning every detail of your social life, and be ready to make spontaneous decisions. He is like an addiction today.

SAGITTARIUS
The more tolerant you are of people who are different from you, the more your life is enriched. Your imagination is working in unexpected ways. Use it to combine your need for wide open spaces with his need for the comforts of home.

CAPRICORN
Destiny is calling you to take charge of your career in a self-disciplined way without being afraid that you won’t succeed. You will, and the more friendly and harmonious your actions, the quicker you’ll reach the top. Tell your man exactly what you want love-wise.

AQUARIUS
You'll really benefit from a trip abroad or learning new skills to take your career further. It's time to understand more about how the big, wide world operates, and you could meet someone who will change your whole perspective. In love, avoid conflict.

PISCES
How are you going to achieve your life’s purpose - by being a control freak with your own money, or by the excellent care you take of other people’s resources? Be clever, resilient and strong, but not mean. Love-wise, being impulsive can bring problems, but also instant devotion.

ARIES
If he's a bit slow on the uptake you’ll have to take charge today. Don’t rush into marriage or commitment without proper thought, and certainly not before you’ve enjoyed your single life to the fullest. If you push yourself to the extreme, problems will arise.

TAURUS
You make your home life into an art form, and your love life follows suit. Let spontaneity happen. Love is both satisfying and comforting, and it's time to reap the benefits of all your hard work by being selective.
GEMINI
Someone coming into your life now will change the shape of your future. This could be in the realm of romance or in the way you use your creative talents to take you to new heights. You could even take a few enjoyable risks and gambles in your love life.

CANCER
You suddenly feel very safe and secure, your feelings of insecurity vanished. New doors are opening to you and you feel ready to move on with confidence and anticipation. While you appreciate your man’s ability to look after you, you want to have fun as well.

LEO

You could be asked to take on a significant role in your local neighbourhood affairs where you have a platform to express your views on how to uplift and help your community. You won’t have to travel far either. Career-wise, you are making money – but, does he support your ambitions?

16 September 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/16-september-2011 VIRGO
When you find a man who can help you overcome your shyness you’ll find your own erotic appetite, and with Pluto no longer retrograde and Jupiter providing self-confidence, that will be easy to do. Try not to get irritated with a friend – everyone has their own opinions.

LIBRA
Your charm and helpfulness towards colleagues gives your career a boost. You’ll be able to sort out a financial problem at home, too, as Pluto is no longer retrograde which helps ease any tensions. Your love life is enviably sensual.

SCORPIO
Finally your personal planet, Pluto, is no longer moving retrograde which will certainly lighten your spirits. Being involved in community affairs becomes more important, but your love life is bordering on obsessive. When it gets all too much, socialize with friends to relieve the tension.

SAGITTARIUS

You should start to feel much better about your finances now. Be honest about what you want, especially to those closest to you as well as to your boss at work. Love-wise, you should be enjoying great sex, but you still need the freedom to be yourself.

CAPRICORN
Pluto moving forward suggests that you should be more aware of your own, personal power and that it is time to achieve your personal goals. Take a long, hard look at yourself and see which (if any) areas of your life need your attention – the sky is the limit.

AQUARIUS
Listen to your inner voice and to what your intuition is saying. Is it time to help others without expecting anything in return? Your executive abilities are being noticed by those at work, but try to keep a lid on your more eccentric behaviour. Love is complex, but a lot of fun.

PISCES
You will start to find more happiness through your friends, different groups and clubs as well as through working with business associates rather than by going it alone. You could be offered an executive position. Love is all about pleasing each other.

ARIES
Pluto moving forward puts the focus on your ambitions, and urges not to let anyone else exert control over you. You must take charge of your life, but this doesn’t mean ignoring everyone else. Being a team player is important while balance, especially in your love life, is essential.

TAURUS
Determination to get things right is one thing, but being overly stubborn will work against you. Knowledge is power, making this the perfect time to seek further education or take an interest in cultural and spiritual pursuits. Lovemaking should be comforting as well as lavish.

GEMINI

Your skills, talents and resourcefulness are the things that will see you through these years of global financial difficulties. Take back your power, but remember that it is more than just for material wealth. Don’t be too stroppy with your man if you want to keep him.

CANCER
You can establish extremely powerful friendships and business alliances now through the way you co-operate and commit yourself to the greater good. True power is all about balance – if one of you has too much control, the other suffers. You need sweetness in your love life today.

LEO
Your fitness and health will take on greater importance as you take control of your body through a good, healthy diet and exercise programme. As you become fitter your attitude towards your work and responsibilities becomes stronger too. Your buzzing libido needs even raunchier sex.

15 September 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/15-september-2011 VIRGO
The emphasis is on your personal finances, with a need to buy some luxury items rather than just the necessities. Your affectionate behaviour makes you popular with your friends as well as colleagues, and your self-confidence soars. Express your opinions at work – your judgment is sound.

LIBRA
Venus moves into your own sign today emphasizing your charm, humour and willingness to co-operate at work and with your friends. You man seems to be the perfect partner – is this true or just your rosy-coloured glasses speaking?

SCORPIO
Has a man from your past suddenly showed up again, or are you involved in a secret love relationship? If you can’t tell the world about it, perhaps you should think again, and very carefully. Try not to make rushed and impulsive decisions.

SAGITTARIUS
Your love life is crackling with sexual tension, and Venus moving into Libra suggests that you are concerned with your own happiness rather than that of anyone else. As you are oozing love and affection, no-one will notice. Networking for your work and career creates a win-win situation.

CAPRICORN
Social and business events will put you in the spotlight, so make sure you look your best at all times. Don’t wait to be noticed – be pro-active and take the lead. Asking for a promotion or a raise in salary could work now. Don’t push too hard to get your own way with your man – use a soft approach.

AQUARIUS
No matter what you do, there seems to be air of relaxation and a social atmosphere surrounding you. It's time to pursue further studies and to explore cultural ventures such as music and the arts. You might not be outwardly demonstrative in your love life, but you are more loving than usual.

PISCES
The next few months are all about joint income, common goals and values you share with your man. A business partnership is also emphasized. Try not to be too intense – luck is with you, so apply for that loan, but first ensure you have all the facts and figures first. He loves you no matter what.

ARIES
The Moon in your own sign and Venus in Libra means that there is a tug-of-war between your needs and those of everyone else, especially your love partner. Be as co-operative as you can at the moment and you’ll find your life gets easier.

TAURUS
Don’t waste time arguing or forcing issues – instead smile, be friendly and get on with what needs to be done. You need a calm, beautiful atmosphere to do your best work. Keep on with your physical fitness regime as you need to be as strong and healthy as you can at the moment.

GEMINI
Express your opinion, especially about financial matters, in as harmonious and friendly a way as you can so that no-one’s back is put up. It's time to bring some romance into your life, so don’t pass up invitations, and visit friends. Avoid oozing flattery to get your own way.

CANCER

Anything to do with property is favourable now whether decorating, renovating, buying, selling or renting. It's a good time to invite friends home and to improve relations with your family. Give support to your man as well as mega sex.

LEO

You can persuade anyone to do anything right now, but use this power wisely or you’ll lose everyone’s support. Community activities are well starred, and local politics, a play or an art exhibition offer enjoyment. Love is warm and romantic – lucky Leo!

14 September 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/14-september-2011 VIRGO
Be friendly and affectionate, interested in your friends and co-operative at work so that it hides any lack of self-confidence. Finance-wise, something is worrying you. Instead of becoming judgmental, talk it through. Love is sexy and creative.

LIBRA
You appreciate the best, and you make sure you look a million dollars by buying one really good item rather than a few cheap ones. You're always immaculately groomed, and this is the way you attract others who also appreciate the finer things in life. Love-wise, let your performing star shine.

SCORPIO
How are your interacting skills? You need your business associates, colleagues and friends, so don’t be demanding. Instead, show your kind, helpful side, especially at work. Love-wise, there has to be glamour, wealth with loads of passion. Is he fulfilling his earlier promise?

SAGITTARIUS
When it comes to letting your man know how you feel you aren’t going to hold back today. You know exactly what you want and how to get it. Pay close attention to the small details at work, especially regarding financial matters, and don’t accept superficial explanations.

CAPRICORN
Using your innate ability to find a solution to just about any problem, you’ll find it easy to sort out family disputes or property deals today. It could be a bit harder to find a solution at work, but stick at it and you’ll easily win. Love-wise, it’s time to go for it.

AQUARIUS
Energy and enthusiasm will help you overcome any problems or obstacles at work. Get your colleagues involved, and let your competitive spirit shine. At home, your good judgment helps you sort out any family disputes and ensures that any property deals work in your favour. In love, show affection as well as sexiness.

PISCES
You need your love life to be easy, peaceful and calm but, instead, it's really dramatic. Use this drama to think up new ideas to excite your lover rather than becoming judgmental and depressed. A little adventure will add considerable spice, while your imaginative spark could help your finances.

ARIES
You are not going to be told what to do today whether at work, by your family, friends or your lover. When you're too self-centred it can work against you, so try to listen to what others have to say. Your love life will be fun and exciting.

TAURUS
Using your artistic and creative mind at work not only makes your life easier, but brings luck to every area of your life. Romance is emphasized, and you should accept every invitation that comes your way. Life suddenly feels much easier, more open and far more fun. You deserve it.

GEMINI
Your curiosity is such that you want to try different things with your man as long as they are fun, light and with no added pressure. Your judgment is sound, and you know when to stop. Expending your nervous energy in sport or physical fitness exercises might be the way to go.

CANCER
Your mind is sharp and quick today, and you aren’t letting anything go or be forgotten. You need him to come and take you away from everything. At work, you are becoming more and more competitive; even aggressive. Watch out for burns, cuts and fevers.

LEO
As you are in the most favourable financial period of the year, decide which direction you want to take next. You might be interested in taking up further studies or planning the trip of a lifetime. The time has come to do whatever suits you. With your warmth and enthusiasm, your man will be only too happy to follow your lead.

13 September 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/13-september-2011 VIRGO
After yesterday’s emotions you might feel quite exhausted, but eager to get on with your life. It will help to think about the cycles of life, and how your changing moods influence your decisions. Develop skills to make you more independent. In love, you are in charge.

LIBRA
You seem ready for a power struggle in the bedroom, but you don't mind giving in if wild sex is offered. Your quick reactions save the day at work, and you know instinctively when to take the lead. Your love-life could undergo a change, but you remain in charge.

SCORPIO
What you want seems to be more important than what he wants today. If you're too demanding, he won’t give you the devotion you crave. That doesn’t stop a great sex life, though. Meetings with business associates will help keep your work on track.

SAGITTARIUS
With so much hard work and success you’ll revel in all the love and romance on offer. Use your imagination and artistic talents to provide variety, both in the bedroom and at work. Speaking of work, your resourcefulness helps you win.

CAPRICORN
You thrive on a challenge, and love finding solutions to problems today. Don’t do too much, though - give yourself a break. Love-wise, you could be attracted to someone from a different background which could pose a challenge. Romance blossoms.

AQUARIUS
Talk about big ideas – everything about you is OTT today, but as long as you are organized and can keep the finances under control, you’ll make all the right decisions. It’ll be very exciting. You need your love life to be light and fun.

PISCES
You seem very sweet, solid and dependable today – but your temper is ready to flare if you don’t get your own way. Luckily this is very attractive to your man. Even so, if you find anger building up, do something to let off steam gradually. Finances look good and are getting even better.

ARIES
Your feminine intuition is working at full capacity today as you know exactly when to act and when to hold back. If you can show more interest in your colleagues, friends and your partner, you’ll win even more. Show your man that you're more accessible than you seem.

TAURUS
A bit of a ruthless streak could show itself today which is not a bad thing if it's used to succeed in a business project, but difficult if you try to tell everyone else how to live their lives. Love-wise, you need your man to stand up to you before you walk all over him.

GEMINI
Talk about a lot of hot air – you might need to come down to earth a bit and be real when you talk to friends and business associates. Your focus this month is on spending money on your home and family, but don’t take too many risks. Speak to financial experts before taking out a loan.

CANCER
Life could be a bit chaotic today as you thrive on a bit of danger. Don't drive too fast, and avoid accidents at work and at home. You could make career decisions based on intuition rather than fact which might not work in the longer term. Think before you act.

LEO
Your finances are your main concern this month. It's best if you don’t discuss them with too many people. There are many different possibilities today, but you need to detach yourself and see the wider picture rather than letting your intuition and feelings control your life. In love, the forbidden is tempting.

12 September 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/12-september-2011 VIRGO
The Full Moon is affecting the relationship between you and your partner this evening. It's probably nothing serious, but try not to overreact to trivial matters. The more you do together (sport, exercise or carrying out some DIY) the easier it’ll be. Let your imagination fly.

LIBRA
Librans, you could find your health suffering a bit today and you could feel unsettled, edgy and restless. Get stuck into work with as much enthusiasm as possible, and co-operate with colleagues. It isn’t a good day to question anyone’s authority. In love, he’ll be irresistible if he listen to you.

SCORPIO
Use your creative edge to do something spectacular and realize your dreams, whatever they are. The Full Moon could make you a bit weepy, but that shouldn’t dampen your healthy passion for love - and everything else. The important thing is not to lose your sense of humour.

SAGITTARIUS
The Full Moon causes tension at home, so cooperate and try to adjust to every situation. Your hard work is bringing in the money, and it might be a good time to go for a home loan or mortgage. Your man seems to be able to read your mind which is causing mixed emotions.

CAPRICORN
Tension rises if you’ve been attracted to a man or made new friends from a different background or country as suddenly you feel uncomfortable or confused. You don’t have to make an instant decision. Wait until it feels right for you. Perhaps you need to teach your man some patience?

AQUARIUS
The Full Moon brings some uncomfortable feelings, especially to do with finance. Expect a disagreement if you share property, a bank account or business. Talk it through in a co-operative way. As it's very important that you share the same values. Luckily, your sex life is totally inspired!

PISCES
Tension rears its head today due to the Full Moon in your own sign which is really affecting you – keep a box of tissues handy. You overreact towards your partner, making both of you feel confused and over-emotional. Remind him its Full Moon, and that he needs to help keep you upbeat.

ARIES
A Pisces moon is hard enough for you to understand your emotions – but a Pisces Full Moon? Totally impossible! For once, you are softer, enjoying some cosy cuddling, but you are also more prone to worry at the moment. Luckily, your personal planet, Mars, will help bring enough enthusiasm to carry on.

TAURUS
The Pisces Full Moon is confusing your feelings towards your man… Mars is working on your physical attraction in a very positive way so watch out for flying pheromones! Social events are fun and active and your sex life should have equal energy.

GEMINI
The emphasis in on reaching your highest aspirations in everything you do – but the Full Moon is confusing the issue, questioning how far you’ve reached and whether this is right for you. Go with the flow, and don’t make any instant decisions. There could be other things on your mind rather than your sex life.

CANCER
Suspicion could raise its head today as you seem to mistrust everyone. This is due to the Full Moon which always affects you as it unearths old hurts and wounds. By tomorrow you’ll feel much more positive. Try not to self-indulge in excessive displays of emotion as it will only make things worse.

LEO
It’s unwise to overspend at the moment. Keep a close eye, especially on joint finances, and investigate possible investments thoroughly. You could find your love-life a bit too restricting, and you need your space. Explain this to your man – it is only the Full Moon talking. Sex is fast, furious and not terribly loving.

11 September 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/11-september-2011 VIRGO
What you thought was a committed relationship may be just the opposite, and you need to question what's important to you and what you really value. If either you or your partner have placed too much emphasis on money and material assets, you need to talk things through.

LIBRA
It’s so hard when you know what you want and you have the ambition and the drive, but obstacles out of your control hold you back. The only thing to do is hold the dream and wait. It will happen. Don’t let this upset your relationships with family, friends or your lover. Let them comfort you instead.

SCORPIO
Have you lost your zest for life? Why not spend some quiet time at home, wandering along a beach or out in the bush. Better still, pamper yourself at your local spa and get a massage while listening to music and surrounded with scented candles. Or just sleeping in with your favourite man will do the trick.

SAGITTARIUS
You find it easier to cope when you work with groups, directing your talents towards others. Making an effort to meet new friends or offering deeper affection to your current circle of friends will help as well. Commitment to others rather than focussing on yourself is the key – and your man will love it too.

CAPRICORN
It's one thing asking advice, but quite another letting others make decisions for you. Is this why you are feeling a bit frustrated and at a standstill? It's time to take charge of your life so that with time and patience you achieve real success. Your man might be jealous of your success.

AQUARIUS
Are you feeling the results of not studying hard enough before, and now people with less experience but that vital piece of paper are leap-frogging over you at work? Will some specialized training help? There could be a delay in your travel plans. Don’t fret – do something to inspire your love life instead.

PISCES
Your love life seems very heavy and intense. You could be asked to make a commitment, but are you ready? You need to be able to handle your own finances and assets before you take on anyone else’s. Chill – you have lots of time to make big decisions.

ARIES
No-one seems willing to offer you the help and support you need, and even when they do, there seems to be so much added responsibility you probably tell them to forget it. You need to compromise to reach an agreement. Luckily, your man seems willing to give you the love and comfort you need.

TAURUS
Your weekend seems to be full of household chores as you catch up with housework, washing, ironing and everything else that you didn’t have time for during the week. Watch your health and get a good routine going sooner rather than later. A healthy diet and exercise plan gets your mind, body and spirit back on track in no time.

GEMINI
Saturn says that taking unnecessary risks is a total no-no this weekend. This means not over- indulging in alcohol, drugs or food, and being careful not to lose your job, your money or even your health by taking on risky love adventures. A strong, stable relationship is your key to happiness.

CANCER
It's possible to find real happiness and peace in your family circle, but only if you take the first step towards improving family ties by talking through any differences of opinion. When you do, you’ll find every area of your life improves too. Physically, love is hot.

LEO
Are you totally bored with the people you deal with on a daily basis? Your car could break down because you didn’t get it serviced. Your computer might suddenly blank out – make sure you have back-up! Love livens you up.

10 September 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/10-september-2011 VIRGO
Today is all about romance, passion and physical attraction which you enter into with unusual enthusiasm. You can see the potential of your relationship, so use your intuition and insights to take you there. Let the sweet, soft side of your nature shine this weekend.

LIBRA
Light, airy Libra can find the Piscean Moon strangely heavy to handle as you become more compassionate, but less clear-thinking and inclined to burst into tears for no apparent reason. Sex is amazing, though! Use this emotional passion on a career project with great success.

SCORPIO
Keep a box of tissues handy today. Luckily, you can easily snap out of your fits of despair, especially when your love life is passionate and carnal. Be very clear, and have all your facts and figures to hand when talking to business associates. Then, let your creative talents show.

SAGITTARIUS
Socialize at home with your friends and colleagues today – you don’t have to be extravagant. Everyone loves you for who you are, which could also give your career a boost too. You need some quiet time alone to re-charge those batteries. Make the most of your love life.

CAPRICORN
Go on, dare to do something different today! If romance has been missing from your life you could find it today, unexpectedly, and just when you weren’t looking… Plan a trip abroad, or go online and see what’s available. Ask friends and colleagues for input.

AQUARIUS
Far more sentimental than usual, your love life is intense, passionate and inspired. It’s amazing what can happen when you let your imagination run free. Finances need to be checked. Remember, you don’t want to overspend or have people owing you money. Change is happening, so it’s important you keep to your daily routine.

PISCES
Love, romance and passion surround you today, making it hard to know the difference between your imagination and what is reality. This can be totally exhausting. Try not to focus too much on yourself, but get stuck into creative projects and give time to your friends, colleagues and those less fortunate than yourself.

ARIES
As you work hard, rushing around and getting stuck into your latest creative project, it’s a wonder you have time to worry – but you do… Focus on your home and family, as well as on your man as you are far softer and more maternal than usual. You achieve far more with a man than on your own today.

TAURUS
Today is all about your friends, socializing and playing sport – and maybe letting a friendship become deeper as the focus moves to romance. Despite the heavy emotions, your sense of humour and creative inspiration will help keep everything light and fun.

GEMINI
Try not to be on the defensive today, especially when discussing your career or other important matters with your family. You don’t have to run away from the problems as all the solutions will come when you talk them through. Your man seems a little demanding and heavy today.

CANCER
You try so hard to be sweet and agreeable, at least on the surface - though secretly you are doing exactly what you want. You are under some emotional pressure, and co-operation is the best way forward. You could probably do with a holiday or trip, so start planning. Meanwhile, let mega sex unwind you.

LEO
He can’t hide from you as you make it your mission to know absolutely everything. This is fine by him as your love-making is romantic and enlivening. Finances are looking good – and it seems that your bank balance is stronger than ever today.

9 September 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/9-september-2011 VIRGO
Mercury is encouraging you to be even more critical and analytical than usual as you gather information and ideas from everywhere. Confusion could easily reign as your imagination becomes over-stimulated, but it's great for turning sexual fantasies into reality.

LIBRA

Your libido buzzes so much today that you have to censor your own thoughts. If he doesn’t fulfil your needs, you’ll have no qualms about moving on. This isn’t the time to worry about past disappointments. The future is exciting with the promise of success in everything from love, money to an exciting career.

SCORPIO
Business and other meetings and discussions are inspirational, though you might get bogged down by the tiny details when all you need is the outline at this point. Listen to what others have to say. You're feeling more maternal than usual, and your man will benefit from your special kind of TLC.

SAGITTARIUS
With the emphasis very firmly on your career and intellectual abilities, try not to focus your ideas too narrowly. Everyone is listening to you, and what you say now will impact on your future. Love-wise, healthy passion rules – but who is the lucky man?

CAPRICORN
Contact with someone special who is far away will demand your attention. This is the perfect time for a trip abroad as long as you know exactly where you want to go. Love-wise, if you can go beyond the initial battle of wills, unexpected passion will satisfy even your libido.

AQUARIUS

Talk about organizational skills – who needs anyone else when you are around? Your talents and skills are enough to satisfy even the pickiest of people as the bigger the challenge, the more you enjoy it. Love-wise, there is not much emotion today, but mega sex instead.

PISCES
With love being the main event, Mercury is urging you to consider a long-term relationship. If marriage is a possibility, consider the legal implications very carefully, and don’t let emotions enter into the deal. A business venture or partnership looks very beneficial, but read the small print on every contract.

ARIES
A fantastic day if you get it all together. Your ability to focus, together with your unusual flair, combines well with your skills at thinking and planning. Love-wise, you are in erotic mode - but with a dash of prudishness to add a touch of mystery.

TAURUS
Use your creative imagination in tandem with your business and money-making skills, and you simply can’t go wrong. Going away for the weekend with your romantic partner promises to be great fun too. If not, meet up with friends and organize some kind of entertainment.

GEMINI
It’s time to discuss family matters, property transactions and even household repairs and décor. A visit to see a member of your family is possible, too – but be flexible as plans may have to be changed. Keep an eye on your house keys! Love-wise, you are sexy but cool.

CANCER
You will be busier than usual for the next couple of weeks, visiting, organizing meetings and telling everyone your latest ideas and opinions. Make sure your car is in good condition and serviced, and keep your keys safe too. Love is exhausting.

LEO

You approach everything with dignity and seriousness – just don’t lose your sense of humour, otherwise you’ll find it harder than you imagined to reach the top. You’ll have to take yourself less seriously if you both want to enjoy that promise of powerful sex.

8 September 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/8-september-2011

VIRGO

Following your usual routine today will help you keep focussed and prevent unwanted emotions from creeping into your business relationships. Remember to eat and drink at regular intervals – de-hydration is a no-no. You're independent today and, if necessary, quite ready to move on.

 

LIBRA

Today is not one for looking back in a sentimental way. It's time to move forward and to make the right changes. Your love life is equally progressive and has to be spontaneous, fun and full of energetic, unforgettable lovemaking. Use your active imagination to make even more money.

 

SCORPIO

Even if you're irritated by everyone today, it’s best not to show it. This way, you’ll really achieve everything you set out to do. Your home is your refuge, but even so there could be tension with your family. Singles, widen your circle of friends if you want to meet someone special.

 

SAGITTARIUS

Feeling a bit aloof and lonely today? You're probably more focussed on your career and work than on anything else. If so, get everything done over the next couple of days, using all your innovative ideas. Your sex life will still be strenuous but enjoyable.

 

CAPRICORN

Doing the right thing is extremely important, especially when it comes to sticking to your own set of values – and you will get very angry if someone tries to persuade you to do something underhanded. A trip away with your favourite man will take the relationship to a new level, so get ready for a sexual master-class.

 

AQUARIUS

Never conventional, you have even more unique ideas in your head than usual. You don’t want to be bossed, but are very happy to organize everyone else. Use some charm and you’ll achieve absolutely everything. In love, you’ll have to work on togetherness.

 

PISCES

Don’t give in to a dark mood. Rather, devote yourself to the people you love, especially that special man in your life. You’ll get back double everything you put into the relationship.  Meetings at work go well as you use your imagination to fire everyone’s enthusiasm.

 

ARIES

Your sex life is fast, furious and unrestrained, but is there any real feeling?  You probably don’t have much time for anything except your work as there is such a lot to get through. You do need to relax a bit or you’ll end up with a headache, a fever or having an accident.

 

TAURUS 

You attract everyone today, easily making new friends and strengthening business ties. Your career becomes more and more important as the day wears on and you think up new ways of working, of making money and fulfilling your ambitions. Love is more complex than you like it to be.

 

GEMINI

It's important to get your home finances in order, whether this is just paying bills or negotiating a property deal. You and your man seem on the same wave-length, good friends as well as generous lovers - not that this will stop you arguing as you could easily overreact today.

 

CANCER

Is your man giving you the emotional support you need? Your sex life looks amazing - wild and fast - but without any real intimacy, in the end you’ll feel rejected and unloved. Your finances look good and are getting better. Sort out all the small print of any loans or contracts.

 

LEO

Your finances seem in better shape than they've been for a long time, leaving you free to concentrate on your love relationships. You don’t have to talk about them, but if you are keeping one secret for some reason then perhaps you should rethink the situation.

7 September 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/7-september-2011

VIRGO

Love-wise, you worry that you're receiving mixed messages, or giving them out yourself. Go with the moment and don’t question or talk too much today; just relax and nurture yourself. A business associate may have to alter a planned meeting – don’t over-react, just arrange another time.

 
LIBRA

Staying in this evening and recharging those batteries will make you look and feel fantastic.  Try not to get involved in family arguments. If there is something to discuss, do so in an atmosphere of affection rather than hostility.  

 

SCORPIO

You could easily overreact today, especially with colleagues and business associates - which will do nothing for you in the long-term. The more you can show of your loving nature, the more you’ll succeed; think of it as advertising yourself. Sex-wise, arguments will probably end in some very raunchy love-making.

 

SAGITTARIUS  

As your self confidence grows, your career becomes even more of a focus and your finances increase. Pay attention to the details, especially the payment of debts and collecting money owed to you. Check on insurances and taxes. Mix with the right people, and you’ll meet the perfect man.

 

CAPRICORN

Widen your circle of friends to include people from every background and belief system, especially single Capricorns who want to find a partner who shares your principles and ideals. Your business expands in the same way. Let romance blossom; use your imagination. 

 

AQUARIUS

There could be a battle of wills with your man. Turn it into a game, laugh and enjoy your feelings of love for each other. Keep some of that energy for your work; there is a lot to get through, but your enthusiasm helps you achieve it all. 

 

PISCES

Positive thoughts will help you overcome any feelings of uncertainty about the future. It’s time to take a few risks with your love (but not your body!) if you want a friendship to turn into something deeper. It’s time to indulge him and yourself. Meetings are successful at work if you're open to changing your mind.

 

ARIES

Today is all about your career, your daily routine and using your imagination to keep your work up-to-date and yourself ahead of the pack. Avoid arguments both at work and at home by not overreacting or pushing too hard for what you want. Compromise is the way to go.

 

TAURUS

It's time widen your horizons – think big. The more optimistic, generous and positive you are, the more successful you become. Don’t rush about too quickly as accidents can easily happen. Drive carefully and be careful at home too. Romance is there, but you are extremely picky.

 

GEMINI

You could feel a bit uncomfortable if you are forced to show your true feelings – don’t let your anxiety show. Just go with the flow, and let Venus help you show the affectionate and nurturing side of your nature. The problem is that you want fun and romance, and not too much heavy commitment.

 

CANCER

It's time to relax and let live – you don’t always have to be the workhorse, in charge not only of your own life, but everyone else’s too. An air or fire sign friend will help you lighten up.  At home, avoid accidents - especially cuts or burns. An argument with your man is possible – mega sex is on the cards when you make up.

 

LEO

Set your mind on what you want to achieve, especially financially – and then decide on a plan of action. You’ll be surprised at how soon it all comes together as you have the energy necessary to see it through. It's best not to tell too many people. Does he share your ambitions?

6 September 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/6-september-2011 VIRGO
Your creative side is best expressed in a structured way; rather than a quick scribble, you need to produce a beautifully finished piece of work. Love-wise, you know exactly how to break off a relationship without hurting him too much. This is a day for cooperation and working as a team.

LIBRA
Nothing can hold you back this week; you have the vision, so go after everything you want, whether it is a new man, the latest fashion or a job. It's time to use all that innate diplomacy and tact no matter what emotional pressure you feel. Success is yours.

SCORPIO
You are the leader today in everything you do, whether you like it or not. Business associates and colleagues are all listening to what you have to say, so share your ideas. Learning new skills is important, but perhaps even more so is making new overseas contacts. In love, take control.

SAGITTARIUS
Career networking will bring in the money, whether it's for your job or a new one on the horizon. You ooze confidence, so look at all the chances and opportunities that are coming your way. Don’t sit back - make them happen. The same goes for your love life where it's time to be bold.

CAPRICORN
What are your ambitions - to reach the top of your career or to find that perfect relationship? Whatever you want, it's within your grasp. What's your vision? Make it a reality through your self- control, passion and dedicated work. In love, let romance win.

AQUARIUS
Use your zany sense of humour to get you through any battles with your man. Perhaps it would be best to concentrate on making money rather than arguing about who is spending what. Your energy and enthusiasm are infectious despite your unusually competitive behaviour.

PISCES
The Capricorn Moon is helping keep you steady and focussed, and you can make anything happen today. You need your love life to be calm, and for your man to be your best friend so that you can focus on everything else. Be ready to change your investment ideas.

ARIES
Career issues take priority over these next couple of days, and you demand perfection from yourself as well as from everyone else. When your co-workers see you getting stuck into the hard work they’ll be more inclined to join you. Drama in your love life adds the spice you enjoy.

TAURUS
Even when you feel the earth crumbling beneath you, you remain calm and don't let on to anyone about your fears and worries. It won’t hurt to get it out, though. It's time to follow your dreams so let your imagination run free, put your plans together and get going!

GEMINI

That butterfly behaviour is all an act – you know exactly what you want. Follow your ambitions today, whether it is for making money, purchasing a property or helping your family. You don’t have to tell the world what you are doing – just get on with it! You probably don’t have much time for love today.

CANCER
Are you feeling a bit more prudish than usual? Relax, but tell him to be a bit more patient than usual. It's a good time to talk and discuss anything that is worrying you. As your man is also your soul mate, he’ll understand. At work, discuss your ideas – they’ll be well received by everyone.

LEO
Talk about power! At work, everyone sits up and listens to what you have to say today. If you don’t make money now, you can at least give yourself a head-start. Love-wise, you need a man who supports your ambitions, and who is as stylish and go-ahead as you. Sex is mind-blowing.

5 September 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/5-september-2011 VIRGO
Everyone knows about your need for perfection and how busy, organized and modest you are – but do they know you are also one extremely sexy woman? You need a strong, rugged man to satisfy your need. Worrying will cause digestive problems. Good colours for you are dark blues and greens.

LIBRA
Your colours are pale pinks, blues and greens, and while you might come across all sweetness and light, this belies your backbone of steel. You are beautiful and you use your attractiveness to get what you want. Romance rather than passion is important. Watch out for social climbers.

SCORPIO
The Scorpion is magnetic, sexual, passionate, emotional and domineering, and you demand total faithfulness and loyalty – you never forgive or forget. You're difficult to please sometimes as you need a strong man who will always do exactly as you want, and one who’ll put up with your ever-changing moods. Your colours are deep reds and turquoises.

SAGITTARIANS
Intelligent, athletic and freedom-loving, you're a generous and enthusiastic lover, especially when the man is your intellectual equal. Often speaking without thinking, your verbal arrows can hurt which is a turn-off to your man. In public, you're warm and loving. Your colours are dark blue and purple.

CAPRICORN
Being supportive is your theme today. Serious as a child, you get younger as you get older when you start to attract much younger guys. Only when you make a serious love commitment do you enjoy a satisfying sex life. Your colours are black, grey and purple.

AQUARIUS
Zany, independent and a total individualist, you are also a loyal, practical and caring partner. Not usually over-emotional, you enjoy sex for the fun rather than the passion. You're creative, and you come up with very innovative ideas, especially when lovemaking is spontaneous. Your colours are violets and yellows.

PISCES
You're a romantic escapist, both compassionate and depressive, and your emotions change hourly. You thrive and express yourself sexually when in love, but are easily hurt. He’d better use his imagination, sensitivity and protection otherwise you’ll drift away. Wearing blues and greens will help.

ARIES
Dynamic, selfish, aggressive, inspiring and energetic, you are full of exciting sexual ideas. Many men find you too much of a challenge as you prefer to be in total control. Love-wise, routine equals boredom so your man has to be as sexy and enterprising as you are. Red, black and white are your signature colours.

TAURUS
As the most beautiful woman in the zodiac, you seem to be made for love but he has to be sexy, fantastic in bed and share your need for security, stability and pampering. You are more than willing to help him up the ladder of success as long as he does his bit. If not, he’s out without a backward glance. Your colours are pinks and blues.

GEMINI
When it comes to love you are quite primitive, and love the forbidden. You're excited by married men, ones years younger or older, or from a different background. You like to feign innocence, letting him think he's teaching you new tricks. If only he knew! Your colours are silver, yellow and orange.

CANCER
Romantic, clingy, laughing or crying, you always seem to be the centre of attention. You are also quite promiscuous and sexually experimental, making your own boundaries to suit your mood. You expect your man to supply the emotional support you crave in return for caring, loyalty and erotic love-making. Your colours are silvers and pearls.

LEO

Quite the Prima Donna, your fiery, vivacious and fun-loving personality fills every room. You are turned on by strong men who are ruled by their hearts, and will use every trick in the book to secure your man in return for total devotion, generous love-making and mega sex. Your colour is gold.

4 September 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/4-september-2011 VIRGO
Try not to become irritated with members of your family because you are frustrated by delays and financial problems. You will make steadier progress if you work through others as part of a group rather than trying to do everything on your own. In love, do you enjoy being a martyr?

LIBRA
Stop worrying about how you look! You are one of the most beautiful women in the zodiac so you have a head start over everyone else. Even if you're having a bad hair day it will soon pass – the answer is to make others feel good about themselves instead. Taking your power back at work will make you forget everything else.

SCORPIO
You must face your financial worries – self-pity won’t help. You have the inner strength, so use it. Someone close could have an even bigger problem and needs your support. You need your friends to keep you upbeat, so try not to be aloof. Love-wise, let his good luck rub off on to you.

SAGITTARIUS
This is one of the best days all month as career-wise you can’t seem to put a foot wrong. Not everyone enjoys being reformed, though, and you could feel a bit frustrated when they won’t listen to what you have to say. Just continue to be yourself. Love-wise, let your intuition guide you.

CAPRICORN
You might feel there is something or someone stopping you from earning what you think you are worth. Don’t get depressed, just remember these are hard economic times. Continue to be yourself, do your best and get on with the job. The required results will come. Take charge of your love life.

AQUARIUS
You may have to delay a trip or learn a new skill. It is probably out of your control, so stop fretting about it. Do keep tickets and passport safe, and check all departure times. Take refuge in your love-life where passion and love rule. Friends are equally important, so don’t neglect them.

PISCES
Someone at work is trying to impose their values on you, but you find this frustrating and disagreeable. Instead of becoming over-emotional, take time out to think about what to do next so that you don’t lose your self-confidence. Be willing to take on more financial responsibility. Don’t run from love.

ARIES
Today you are competitive, accomplished and able to find solutions to every problem – just as you like it. Use up your excess energy by playing sport or indulging in some fun sex. Rules - what rules? There could be a lack of emotion in your love life, but that doesn’t seem important today.

TAURUS
Frustrations over financial issues at work could get out of all proportion to the problem – try to keep it in perspective and, whatever you do, don’t get depressed. Use your sense of humour and imagination to keep you buoyant and to find solutions. In love, libidos are satisfied.

GEMINI
Romance could disappear today as you need a strong, stable relationship which your partner may be reluctant to give long-term. Don’t force the issue, just go with the flow – for now. Move on when it suits you to do so. Your family is there for you, so don’t shut them out.

CANCER
Improving family ties and your domestic arrangements will make your life so much easier – and you’ll soon find the power to take on additional responsibilities and do what has to be done. Keeping to a regular routine will improve your health. Love-wise, a little wildness will add spice.

LEO
Your enthusiasm and verve is inspiring to most people – just make sure your attitude towards others is acceptable. It's important that you keep your car serviced and checked, and that your computer and other communication appliances are looked after. Let your man pamper you – then you’ll really purr.

3 September 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/3-september-2011 VIRGO
Adventure calls – as long as your partner or a member of your family goes along with you to give emotional and physical support when needed. If you take the risk of travelling somewhere unknown or of opening your mind to new ideas, your confidence will grow too. Love is awesome.

LIBRA

By tonight you’ll want no limitations – enjoy! Career-wise, is it time to take a few risks? Your ambitions could be realized as long as you get the attention you need from the right people, i.e. those with influence and power. Work on it - you’ll enjoy the competition.

SCORPIO
You are enjoying a very social time, but a slight aloofness today makes you appreciate time on your own. This is a good day to discuss your career and finances, and perhaps ask for a salary raise. Negotiations and contracts should go well, but you might have to ride out an emotional situation at home.

SAGITTARIUS
At work you could be under a bit of emotional pressure. While you have some great ideas and are full of confidence, not everyone agrees with you. This sense of competition only adds to your personal power as you find all the answers. Don’t let worries affect your love life – passion is yours for the taking.

CAPRICORN
Love-wise, passion and romance rule, and it's time for a bit of adventure and excitement. You don’t want any criticism from your family, so do what is necessary to keep the peace. Your career is moving forward steadily, just don’t be too judgmental if you want co-operation from your colleagues.

AQUARIUS
You could just say more than you mean, and it comes out in the wrong way. Think carefully, especially when talking to your family or partner. At work your enthusiasm energizes your colleagues, and everyone achieves – just avoid doing everything too quickly. In love, everything is possible today.

PISCES
There is a special quality about you today, and you seem to know what is happening without anyone saying anything. In love, you need tender love and support rather than aggressive passion, and you’ll have to be very clear if you want him to understand. Use your creative talents to boost your work.

ARIES
At work you are more concerned with the concept and the bigger picture, but if you ignore the small detail you could end up in trouble. Balance is needed. Luckily, you can easily take over, making all the decisions, but you will though have to persuade everyone to follow your lead. In love, romance rules for once.

TAURUS
Romance, passionate love-making and financial security - you need it all to satisfy your need for the good life, and it's all within your grasp now. You could have difficulty in letting an old relationship go – if it’s over, it’s over. Move on. Avoid gossiping about anyone, especially at work.

GEMINI
Nerves could take over today especially in matters to do with your love life – your family and partner give the support you need to help you handle everything that’s going on, no matter what pressure you’re under. Get your finances under control.

CANCER
Health really does matter. You have a highly emotional temperament, and will really benefit from friends and a lover who can lift you out of your moods and help you lighten up, especially if there was an uncomfortable meeting at work. Take action to avoid a headache.

LEO
Charm and enthusiasm are the key words today, so use them to help you make the money you need. Don’t overdo it, though, as you could find it hard to wind down and end up having a sleepless night. Love-wise, there is romance – but is there the excitement and passion you need?

2 September 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/2-september-2011 VIRGO
No matter what the situation, you have the personal power to handle it as your self-confidence continues to rise; just don’t have overly strong opinions. Remember to listen as, especially to business associates. Love-wise, it’s time to haul yourself out of your rut.

LIBRA
Don’t let jealousy mess up an otherwise good relationship – are you brooding and worrying too much? Concentrate on your career, do some retail therapy and meet up with friends for a good giggle. Then, let your affectionate nature emerge and indulge in whatever you enjoy.

SCORPIO
More than just plain sexy, you have a magnetic quality about you today, but can he or anyone else handle your emotions? You're attracted to that guy you just met - is it sheer sexual indulgence or something deeper? You seem overly willing to take risks. Pursue further knowledge if you want more power at work.

SAGITTARIUS
The word ‘excessive' isn’t strong enough to explain your attitude at work. It isn’t just about inner growth, but about wanting to know everything, to learn and to teach. You can easily compete in a man’s world, but play it cool. Luckily, your sense of humour sees you through.

CAPRICORN

Do what you do best, and be as helpful as you can towards your friends - without them realizing it of course. If you are feeling a bit down, let your friends make you laugh or watch a movie that suits your rather off-beat sense of humour. Love-wise, simple but passionate sex will ease those stresses.

AQUARIUS
Today is one to pursue your career by getting stuck into your daily work. Sort out any financial problems, pay your bills and be dynamic and passionate about everything you do. Health-wise you need to relax, so take time out with your favourite man.

PISCES
You have that creative edge today – just try to keep it in perspective, whether at work or in your love life. Sharing with your partner will make you feel healed, especially if your mood swings are a bit OTT. The more you can laugh at yourself, the easier to bounce out of any lows.

ARIES
Get organized at the office and at home by calling in money owed, paying accounts and getting your work schedule sorted out. It's hard for you to show your warm, loving side, and your relationships seem to focus on intense passion today. Invite friends and family home this evening.

TAURUS
Talk about a sexual connection – romance is turning into real love, with all the athletic passion you need. Are you fit enough? At work, you need to use all those wonderful creative talents, but not to excess. Try not to get sarcastic or irritated by those who don’t understand.

GEMINI
Financial luck is with you, but you still need to get stuck into some hard work. Singles, your love life also seems to be on the up. Try not to be too sensitive or unpredictable, even if you feel you are no longer in control of every situation – just go with the flow.

CANCER
Singles, you could find a new love through internet dating or being introduced by a friend. It's all about lightness and fun until your magnetism pulls him in. At work, your communication skills sort out any potential problems, and will save you money.

LEO
Finances are a key question today. It's time to discuss with your partner and family, especially if you are planning anything to do with property. Career-wise, you are on a roll as your personal power is strengthening and you make steady progress. Loyalty in your love life is essential otherwise it is a total turn-off.

30 August 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/30-august-2011 VIRGO
Don’t miss out on a special social occasion as you could meet someone who will help you both make money and invest it wisely. Try to be flexible when it comes to joint finances, though – your partner's input is vital. You need your man to be your best friend, but is there enough passion?

LIBRA
If nothing else works, for most Librans your sex life always does, and this improves your mood. You’ll probably prefer to spend time alone with him, experimenting with eroticism. Sexual passion really does rule today.

SCORPIO
When you meet the right man you become more sensitive and tolerant – as long as he worships you. With everyone else, you could be a bit edgy and difficult. Your courage takes you far, and you're not afraid to try different things.

SAGITTARIUS
You need people around who share your love of life and adventure, and who appreciate it when you turn problems into a joke. Your emotional warmth is infectious, and business meetings are a breeze. In love there are no limits.

CAPRICORN
You could make friends with someone powerful today; someone who will help take your life to a new height. It's time for socializing and making sure you look and dress your best. The more you believe in yourself, the more others will believe in you. In love, you can have it all.

AQUARIUS
This is probably not your most faithful of days, and if you meet someone new and exciting you could just satisfy your buzzing libido without a second thought. Be clear about what you are doing, as well as the potential consequences. Are you up for the challenge?

PISCES
Sensuality is the name of the game today, and glamour, romance and emotional outbursts are all part of the deal. Good communication is essential at work today, so be friendly and generous with colleagues if you want their support.

ARIES
You seem more peaceful and are friendlier than usual at work. You still want to be in charge, but you do this with such charm that no-one refuses you anything. This won’t work in your love-life where you need more passion than tenderness.

TAURUS
Today is all about using your creative imagination in all areas of your life from your work to your home – and certainly in your lovemaking. Entertaining at home, meeting up with friends and socializing will all make you feel happy. You are looking fantastic too.

GEMINI

Your creative talents show you how to combine business with pleasure to your advantage, and you deal with problems with ease. Use your heightened intuition to help you overcome any fears and worries about your home life. Love is fun rather than passionate.

CANCER
You may want to spend time alone or with your family giving you loving support and protection. If you don’t want to go out, then be in contact with friends via email or over the phone. Love-wise, though, romance revives your feelings.

LEO
Your love life seems to be a game of stop and go, and fun and flattery. This attitude works for your career, too, where your sociable, friendly behaviour makes you a favourite with colleagues and business associates. You might need more depth if you want to make the big time.

31 August 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/31-august-2011 VIRGO
Money issues? Rather than getting angry and tense, why not get in touch with a friend? Socialise – you look fantastic, so make the most of all the opportunities to make new contacts and network. Love-wise, is he doing it for you?

LIBRA
You are working too hard, so you tend to overreact and then make decisions without thinking them through. Slow down and take time out for yourself – and with your favourite man. You're making a good impression despite being a bit edgy. When it comes to love, it isn’t a competition!

SCORPIO
You are making progress at work and you thrive under pressure, but this doesn’t do much for your anger levels. Take time out, and get enough sleep. Love-wise, jealousy could be a problem – if you are too direct you could end up alone. Be sensitive to his needs too.

SAGITTARIUS
You try so hard to be correct and not to put your foot in it, but end up feeling stifled and resentful. Just be your usual generous, humanitarian self – everyone adores you for it. Don’t forget your routine work as well. Health looks good, love is strong and finances are excellent.

CAPRICORN
Your love life looks great, though it has emotional ups and downs. Your career is moving forward as you learn new skills, so why are you feeling so touchy? Do you feel your responsibilities are holding you back from achieving your vision? An unexpected career move could come your way.

AQUARIUS
Your love life could be a bit fraught as you get bored easily. Today you could be ready to move on as your usual tolerance flies out of the window. Is there somebody new on the scene? A joint property deal will be favourable, and could make you money.

PISCES
Getting on with colleagues is a breeze today – widen your circle of contacts, and exchange ideas. There’ll be a lot of travel locally, but take care on the roads. Think carefully before changing your financial plans, and be sure to gather all the necessary info first. Love-wise, there is not much passion today.

ARIES
Love-wise, you can have it all – especially some creative, erotic love-making which adds to the romance of the moment. At work, use your creative ideas to make the day really worthwhile. Money seems to come to you, and your father could be very generous today too.

TAURUS

Singles, you could be attracted to a lovely new man in your life, but don’t rush into a new relationship; take it slowly, and give it time to develop into a solid connection. Don’t forget the value of keeping to a strong routine, both at home and at work.

GEMINI
You are able to combine your love life with your home and family, yet without neglecting your work. You thrive on dashing between everything and meeting up with as many people as possible en route. A romantic interlude livens up your love life.

CANCER

You probably prefer to stay at home today, feeling safe and protected. There are family responsibilities that need your input. Don’t let your emotions get the better of you, otherwise you could lose your cool. Invite friends home. Love is where you really relax.

LEO
Today is all about meeting up with friends and colleagues, dashing from one scene to another. You aren’t interested in really getting to know their problems; today it's all fun, light and laughter - which cheers them up anyway! Love-wise, energy is the key.

1 September 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/1-september-2011 LEO
The New Moon in your sign makes this your day, though it may be a bit too forceful for some. Sort out your finances over the next couple of days as your financial planet, Mercury, moves retrograde on Thursday for most of the month. It's best not to overspend until next month. Love is unpredictable, but juicy.

VIRGO
You can be totally honest about your feelings, but in a nurturing and protective way if your mind is a bit confused about what you really want. Try not to come across as ‘holier than thou’ as it won’t go down well. Taking on more responsibility and extra work will be noticed.

LIBRA
You need your lover to be sweet and good-natured, as well as sexy, macho and very secure financially. This might be difficult to find in just one man. Don’t try to do too much today – quality time is probably better than quantity especially when visiting clients.

SCORPIO
At work, pay close attention to details and subtleties and this, in turn, will help your financial situation. It's time to call in any money owed to you. Be decisive, but not bad-tempered. Not everyone is out to cheat you – don’t let your imagination run away with you!

SAGITTARIUS
You would love to get away on a business trip or holiday, but it seems that you have too many commitments. Finish what has to be done first, and use your considerable diplomatic skills to get everyone on your side. It might make your man even more eager.

CAPRICORN
Not many people realize that many Caps are secret gamblers who quite enjoying taking the odd risk or two. Optimism and luck are with you today but your personal planet, Saturn, is warning against excess. Your man is very lucky today as you are willing to try out a few sexy new tricks.

AQUARIUS
There could be a bit of a difference of opinion between you and your man, or between you and your family about your man. Are issues of commitment the problem here? You seem more willing than usual to compromise, and to reason everything out. In love, it's fantasy time.

PISCES
Have you done it again - fallen in love without thinking about the consequences? If confusion is blinding you to reality, you’ll come down to earth soon enough. Just enjoy while it lasts. Don’t forget there are real issues too such as work, daily commitments and money.

ARIES
Your quick mind is even sharper than usual as you are ready to listen, learn and, for once, pay attention to all the small details as well as the big picture. Your creative juices are in conflict with your need to make money – which is more important? Try to understand your man’s weaknesses as he accepts yours.

TAURUS
You could easily have a disagreement with one of your parents today – perhaps you are spending your time on your own needs rather than your home and family? Do what is more important. Think creatively so you know what to do next while using your usual charm, poise and common sense.

GEMINI
Feeling just a bit unappreciated? Don’t let your imagination run away with you – you are loved and supported both at home and at work. Instead of trying to do too many things at once, try to concentrate on the most important and work through your list. Love-wise, he’s probably feeling a bit bewildered.

CANCER
The fantasy is that you want to be ‘rescued’ by a gorgeous prince, but the reality is that you are extremely capable in your own right, so don’t be nervous. You could be getting too much differing financial advice from too many people. Don’t take risks – think carefully first.

The more love and affection you show today, the more you’ll receive from everyone else. As your self-confidence grows, your optimism for a bright, successful future grows too. It's time to take the lead and really show what you can do. In love, sensuality rules.

LIBRA
Being in love with love today brings extra warmth. You could still be quite argumentative, but no-one really minds. Asking for a loan or a raise today could be successful, but look carefully at the implications rather than doing it on a whim. When it comes to love, be careful.

SCORPIO
Socializing, business meetings and contacting associates who can help you up the success ladder will work today as you are more open and affectionate than usual. The more you trust, the more others will trust and share with you. Love-wise, you have the power.

SAGITTARIUS
Beauty, brains and a romantic soul – what more could any man want? Prospects are excellent for job seekers and those starting a new career. Health and fitness should be pursued, and a healthy diet and regular exercise programme energises your love life.

CAPRICORN
You're eager to have more fun and enjoyment in your life, and over-indulge in all the things you usually avoid. It's time to get away or at least plan your special trip. Even if there is no-one to go with you, don’t worry – your new-found confidence assures success.

AQUARIUS
Romance seems to be blossoming for many Aquarians as you show your feelings of love, and allow emotion to creep into your psyche. Love is dreamy… This is a good time for property deals, whether buying, selling or renting - especially if in a partnership.

PISCES
Singles, have you met that new man? Fallen madly in love again? He thinks you are wonderful too, so enjoy while it lasts. Work-wise, group meetings and discussion groups will need your attention today. Make sure you are on the alert.

ARIES
You have luck today money-wise, so spend it on higher education, learning new skills and travelling rather than on unnecessary luxury items and status symbols. Your man finds you ravishing, anyway – and probably wouldn’t recognise a really expensive designer handbag from a good copy. But then, neither would anyone else...

TAURUS
What goals do you want to achieve? There is no limit to your success. Your poise, balanced with common sense, makes you an ideal candidate for any employer. In love, you might be a bit too discriminating today – loosen up a bit.

GEMINI
You are developing more inner strength and power now that you are overcoming your hidden fears and worries. Your home life is getting better too – are you moving into your own home? Certainly your relationship with your family is strong and loving.

CANCER
Emotionally warmer than usual, you enjoy having friends around who will boost your self-confidence. Your role in their life increases without limiting your personal freedom, or theirs. Take time out for yourself; you don’t have to do anything. Just be.

Less romantic and more sentimental, try not to be too holier-than-thou today. No-one will realise just how ambitious and competitive you are as you try not to offend anyone, but your quiet magnetism has everyone on your side and success is assured.

LIBRA
Don’t talk too much about your innermost self, and certainly don’t gossip about anyone else. Be honest about your feelings, but don’t dwell on them. You need your lover to be sweet and tender rather than macho, especially if you’ve been out socializing all day.

SCORPIO
Look beyond your career – what are your highest aspirations? What do you really want to achieve? It's a day for meeting up with friends, but also for talking to people who can help you achieve your vision. Let your lover calm your mood.

SAGITTARIUS
With the end results of your hard work coming to fruition, today you need an adventure and to get out and exercise your body as well as your mind. More diplomatic than usual, you can get your man to do whatever you want. In love, he really wants you.

CAPRICORN
You can be a bit of a social snob, so think carefully before you accept an invitation today; you don’t want to upset anyone by appearing superior. This actually hides a certain timidity which is completely unnecessary as you have everything going for you. Relax, and let yourself go – with your man too.

AQUARIUS
You are ready to meet everyone half-way, especially your favourite man, instead of insisting on only doing what you want. This could mean a change of plan but, instead of overreacting, you can reason it all out. Let your fantasies be realized.

PISCES
You're over-the-top and will go to any length to keep the man you love. You just don’t see any obstacles or problems. But, does he deserve you? You won’t listen to reason, so instead just enjoy your exotic, extravagant love life where creativity wins.

ARIES
Try not to overreact today; not everyone is as strong as you. You don’t have to work so hard; when you use your creative imagination to take you into realms of fantasy, you’ll find that everything you do becomes fun. When your man shares your ambition, your sex life becomes activated too.

TAURUS
Your charm is balanced by common sense today which is a very potent mix. You can do whatever you want, but avoid being too perfect as this unsettles everyone else. Luckily, this doesn’t seem to spill over into your love life where ecstasy is the norm.

GEMINI
Do you feel unappreciated? There is no need as you are one of the most loved people in the zodiac. You might, however, be criticized for not turning up at a social event if a better invitation comes your way. You sometimes drop your men with equal ease.

CANCER

You could feel more tense than usual. Fresh air and exercise will help so go for a walk, swim or play a competitive sport. Keeping to a strict routine, making sure your bills are paid and papers kept in order will help too. When it comes to lovemaking, really let yourself go.

LEO
Your good taste in everything brings you good friends. Show them just how much you care by being generous and hospitable without being too nit-picky. Love-wise, there is more contentment than ecstasy.

SCORPIO
Your ability to talk to your man about any problem brings you even closer and makes your relationship more passionate. Communication problems at work cause frustration; make sure you back up your work. Don’t be too rigid; be ready to compromise or change course.

SAGITTARIUS
Your personal magnetism takes you wherever you want to go at work today, and this could be a good time to ask for a raise. Some of your creative ideas could be too new for colleagues to appreciate. You need the freedom to take them further, but it might be better to wait. In love, you can have it all.

CAPRICORN
Too much control can kill a new romance. Instead put on your favourite music, dance and do whatever you enjoy to lighten up. There could be a misunderstanding over money or shared resources. Persist as patiently as you can.

AQUARIUS
Love and passion are the themes at the moment, but you could have trouble telling your man exactly what it is you want. Think carefully, and find the best way of expressing yourself. Even then your love-life will be a bit unpredictable.

PISCES
Try to control your emotions at work, and make every effort to see things clearly – you might not get the raise you deserve, despite all your ideas and hard work. You’ll just have to be patient. Love and romance are needed to cheer you up, whether it's real or just a fantasy.

ARIES
For many Aries there is a love situation developing with someone very special who you met through your work, and it could be a long-term deal – unless you mess it up by being unfaithful. Don’t forget your daily responsibilities, both at work and at home.

TAURUS
As you are quite an earth mother, make sure your man appreciates what you have to offer. At work you might have to loosen up a bit and not be too rigid in your approach. Let your creative talents show.

GEMINI

No matter how frustrating you find your friends, this could just be the result of misunderstandings or because you're feeling tense. An evening with your favourite man, watching a comedy or a funny movie and encouraging each to laugh will help bring sexual bliss.

CANCER

Discussions about money, shared values and legal contracts all cause you a certain amount of frustration if they aren’t being sorted quickly enough. You’ll just have to wait and be as flexible as possible. Patience is the only cure. Love-wise, you can always teach him a new trick to help lighten your mood.

LEO
Your travel plans might have to be delayed, but don’t let these disruptions cause too much frustration. There is a need for better communication with your favourite man, and patience is needed to clear up any misunderstandings. A night of lust will probably sort it out.

26 August 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/26-august-2011 VIRGO
Spending time alone dreaming and fantasizing suits you today. You will probably receive some good news from someone far away. Finances also look good, so why not be self- indulgent? Have a luxurious massage or a facial, and buy clothes that suit your mood and life-style. A little jealousy won’t hurt him.

LIBRA
No longer content to sit on the fence, you have definite opinions about everything and everyone. You know what you want, and are prepared to go for it. Be kind, though. Love-wise, you don’t want a hanger-on - he has to match your need for prestige and success.

SCORPIO
Why not give a talk to business associates today on things that really matter? Friends and members of your social and sports clubs would also benefit from your knowledge. Just don’t be too intense. As long as he is loyal, you’ll enjoy a feast of all the senses.

SAGITTARIUS
Success is yours now as your studies, hard work and ability to communicate come together to lift your career ambitions to a new height. A trip abroad is a distinct possibility, while a joint venture needs delicate handling. You give your word - does he? Love demands a lot of time and attention too.

CAPRICORN
Your love life is entered into with passion and intensity, but you don’t give up your traditional values. Is there enough emotion involved to satisfy him? Your finances, especially from joint ventures, partnerships and investments, look very promising.

AQUARIUS
Love and passion look fantastic, but there is still some stress. Your experimental attitude can be a turn on, but could also be quite surprising if he always wants to take the lead. Work-wise, your enthusiasm can make you more competitive. Confront problems in a co-operative way.

PISCES
You could be asked to make a decision over your love life today which causes a lot of stress. Follow your heart. Work-wise, the focus is on achieving your financial goals, so discuss with those who matter. Keeping to a strict routine will help.

ARIES
At work your relationship with colleagues is inspiring. Your creative talents are blossoming today, especially your writing skills, bringing huge success to everything you touch. Your love life is exciting, romantic and adventurous, but are you content with just one man?

TAURUS
You still seem a bit withdrawn, almost scared of showing your feelings. Express your creative talents at home today, anything from adding a pot plant to re-decorating. Too much self-indulgence is a no-no if it affects your figure.

GEMINI

Even if you're hurting inside, you aren’t going to let anyone else know it. Your bravery and ability to keep yourself and everyone else up-beat is infectious, and this spills over to your family and home-life. Could this be the relationship you’ve always wanted?

CANCER
Are your savings and investments bringing you the happiness you expected? Problems are easier to bear with a healthy bank account than when you are broke, but money doesn’t solve everything. A loving relationship and good friends helps too. This is no problem today when you show warmth and generosity.

LEO

Talk about ego! Yours is firing loudly today as your ambitions take you everywhere you want to go. Don’t let that hard streak get the better of you. Love-wise, you need your man to share your need for success. The more spontaneous and open you are, the more your sex life will benefit.

ARIES

If you are bored with all the detailed work you have to put in this whole month, you could well be looking for some excitement in your love-life. Being spontaneous is one thing, but rushing into a dangerous situation is quite another.

CANCER
Your shrewdness in making money and your ability to put your ideas across is working in your favour. You enjoy the competitive aspect of business, and your leadership skills make you money. You are probably too emotional for anything but cosy love-making.

LEO
Take the lead – you have the answers, so use them. You can’t control everyone, though, so expect some opposition. Don’t let this make you ill or want to run away – face everyone and put your ideas across with determination and facts. Love-wise, let your tender and nurturing side show.

AQUARIUS

PISCES
Today is a box of tissues sort of day as you could be unpredictable, over-emotional and find it hard to make a decision. The Sun is opposing your personal planet, Neptune, so you can’t expect clarity. Enjoy some wild, messy sex instead.

ARIES
It is time to get organized at home as well as at work. Pay your accounts, and get household chores in order. By being practical and organized now you will make your life easier in the future. Jupiter is still attracting money to you, but also persuading you to spend. You need excitement in your love life.

TAURUS
You are far more creative in your outlook which will work well if you're going for job interviews. Finance-wise, it's vital you keep well within your budget as over-spending now will only create problems later. Love is all about intimacy and nurturing.

Finance is the key issue today, especially if it is all wrapped up in matters to do with your home and family. You want the best, but what can you afford? Don’t worry yourself into stress situations as it won’t help your bank balance, and will seriously damage your love life.

CANCER

Ultra-sensitive and self-protective today, if you had a shell you’d crawl into it. Just remember what a strong woman you are. Being feminine does not mean being weak, just that you are more nurturing. You're probably more than usually moody, though.

LEO
Luckily for you, you probably have a great sense of humour to lift you out of the moody blues. If you can focus on others instead of yourself, you’ll find your life much easier today. You are in a strong financial period, so ask the experts for investment advice. Flirty teasing is a turn-on.

You will experience real depth of feeling if you can give in a bit today, especially when it comes to your special man. You can still be decisive, and showing feelings of affection will take your love life to a new height.

SAGITTARIUS
It's all about adventure, sport and using up that energy, so go on an expedition, climb a mountain or enjoy a vigorous sport. You will be successful at whatever you do. The more you are on the same wave-length as your man, the better will be your love-life.

CAPRICORN
True love is a rare commodity, but you could find it at any moment. Your man has to be on the same wave-length emotionally, and the opportunities seem to present themselves. Your intellectual horizons are expanding too – don’t limit yourself.

AQUARIUS

Your confidence is soaring, supported by your family and home as well as by your favourite man who is ready to listen to everything you have to say. Luck is with you in matters to do with property (selling, buying or renting). Use your courage.

PISCES
There are so many new opportunities for you to express yourself creatively, whether it's to do with work or hobbies. When you combine the two, the sky is the limit. When it comes to love and romance, is it real or just fantasy? Whichever way, these dreams fulfil you.

ARIES
You aren’t into romance today, but are more concerned with seeing your carnal fantasies fulfilled. A property deal could come up which would further your financial situation – grasp every opportunity, but remember that there are moral and ethical issues to consider too.

TAURUS

You can talk anyone into anything today, and luck is with you all the way. You have to put in the physical effort if you want to enjoy the good life and move up the career ladder, though. You can achieve everything you set out to do. Love is lavish.

GEMINI
There are opportunities out there to make money – think about them today, and gather information over the internet. Take advantage of the favourable openings that come your way, but keep your affairs to yourself. Is he sensitive enough for you?

CANCER
Friends, groups, colleagues and social clubs all play their part in your success. Take time out to socialize today – there are other ways of succeeding than going to your office. Finances are still looking good. Your lover has to be a friend as well.

LIBRA
Wild love-making is the attraction today, perhaps starting with an erotic game. Follow your heart rather than your mind, and let love rule. At work, your attractiveness helps, but your idealistic motivation is the real key to success.

SCORPIO
A sizzling day where your hot temper threatens to boil over. Disperse the energy in as many ways as possible by focusing on learning new skills, travelling or playing sport. Do whatever is necessary to stay calm. Active sex will help too.

SAGITTARIUS
Pay attention to all the small details if you don’t want your loan application to be refused, or if you have problems over debts and money. The answer is research and investigation – be creative. Don’t take yourself too seriously if you want to be seduced.

CAPRICORN

At work you are full of energy and inspiration, but avoid accidents and arguments with colleagues, especially if either of you is overreacting. Luckily this won’t hurt your popularity in the long run, but don’t let frustration and stress get the better of you. When it comes to love, have fun.

PISCES
Your creative talents will make you money as long as you remain focused and disciplined. Slow down a bit and think carefully about everything you do.

ARIES

Your independent streak means you won’t accept interference from anyone, and want to be free to get on with whatever creative project you like. You are charming and friendly, but a little self-centred today. Your libido is buzzing, and the sex is all about you – think about what he wants too.

TAURUS
Mars suggests that instead of trying to do everything on your own, whether to do with family or your career, you’d be better off talking and discussing. Listen to some new ideas and go for the ones that really inspire. Drive extra carefully today.

GEMINI
Today is all about taking an interest in everything, but also really listening to what others have to say. Financially you are worried, as usual, that you are going broke (even Gemini billionaires think they don’t have enough). Calm down. Love-wise, can you resist? He really blows you away.

Today is all about timing - knowing when to show passion; when to arrive and when to go; when to co-operate, and when to show your competitive edge. Love is romantic, passionate and unrestrained. The question is, are you being faithful?

VIRGO
It's probably best to keep your ideas and activities confidential at the moment when participating in community projects. Listen to what others have to say, and gather as much information as you can. Let your imagination fulfil your fantasies if there is no man around.

SAGITTARIUS

CAPRICORN

AQUARIUS
Your love life is very grounded, and you want order and routine. If your partner isn’t inspiring you to greater heights, you will soon lose interest. The emphasis today is on friendship and good relationships with colleagues. Ensure routine tasks are finished.

PISCES
All work and no play? It's up to you to meet up with friends to show them how much you care and let them fuss over you. Keep a firm grip on reality and don't let others drain you. At work, the more you can keep to your daily routine the better. A healthy diet and exercise plan are needed.

ARIES
Friends are a good tonic, but you still need some time alone to recharge those batteries. Try to control how you use your creative energy; think before you rush around. Headaches and fever could be a problem, so take preventative measures. Love is complicated.

TAURUS
Let your sense of humour rule when talking to family, colleagues and business associates. You like your home to showcase everything of the best, but this takes money. Don’t over-extend yourself. Love-wise, emotional balance is the key.

GEMINI
You need your man to share your quick, perceptive mind, and help you up the success and financial ladder. The trouble is, at the moment you could talk so much that it hides your skills and intellect. Think before you speak! Love is solid, but sex takes a backseat.

CANCER
You are very secretive about your real beliefs, needs and desires, covering everything in a veneer of love and friendship. In truth, you need a man who shares your love of adventure combined with a solid bank balance! Career-wise, are you pushing yourself too hard? Balance is needed.

17 August 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/17-august-2011 LEO
Well, you certainly are in fighting mode today. Instead of using your combative skills find a challenge, go on an adventure, book a flight overseas or learn a new language. This will get you out of any winter lethargy or depression. In love, show him exactly how you like it.

VIRGO
You might look innocent and be a little timid, but only until you find the right man. Then he’d better be up for it. Finance-wise, nothing you do seems to help. Don’t worry or you’ll make yourself ill. Just carry on, learn from the past and study as much as you can.

LIBRA
You have a wonderful ability to enjoy life and maximise pleasure. You have strong opinions, but if you put them across with love and friendliness, your man will benefit today. Surround yourself with your personal network of business associates and friends.

SCORPIO
Your job gives you the most satisfaction as your colleagues and business associates are willing to co-operate and help you wherever they can. Your lover is very eager for some lusty sex. At home, problems arise from being disorganized, so don't let chaos reign.

SAGITTARIUS

Talk about being saleswoman of the year – no-one can resist your charms today. You are probably well-paid too, but if not, why not? You can be quite fickle in your love-life. Variety adds spice, but superficiality could be a huge downer.

CAPRICORN
You enjoy your independence, but there is the possibility of the right man coming along and making you willing to give in and let him take charge. It would be a formidable pairing. You could lose your self-confidence if you think you aren’t being paid the right amount of money. Don’t force the issue today.

AQUARIUS

You want action, a new challenge and have some very innovative ideas, so what is holding you back? Do you have the skills and necessary know-how? There could also be other annoying delays and frustrating restrictions. Rather than give in to anger, talk them through as calmly as you can. Raunchy, playful love will relieve any tension.

PISCES
You are far more independent than usual as you focus on your work and finances. Try not to become too emotional. Instead be positive, friendly and ready to compromise when necessary. Don’t let on that you might have lost your self-confidence. You need your love life to be easy, friendly and warm.

ARIES
Today, you will do exactly what you want today and will get totally impatient with anyone who stands in your way. You’ll have great success, but it could be lonely when you reach the top so temper your ambitions with friendliness and co-operation. Love feels more urgent than usual.

TAURUS

You feel more powerful than usual so go after everything you want, especially in matters to do with your home and family. Your work and career might not be what you’d hoped or worked for, but don’t overreact. Sit down and think. What do you really want? Real love might still be a fantasy.

GEMINI
This whole month is about communication. Keep it real today as you don’t want to be accused of hot air. Be interested – don't just talk; ask questions and listen too. Also, don’t take risks with your creative talents. Friendship is more important than lust.

CANCER
You are very popular today and your work is admired and respected, but at home you don’t seem so sure of what you want. Don’t rush into anything. Think about who and what is important to you. Your goal is personal growth and a healthy home life. Is he exciting enough?

15 August 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/15-august-2011 LEO
You feel friendly and affectionate towards your co-workers, but you have difficulty handling your high energy levels. Don't act without thinking first as this could lead to an argument. Calm down before you have an accident. Unrestrained love-making will help.

VIRGO
Do you feel out of control in your love life? If he is right for you, just go with the flow. You are fairly headstrong today, so don’t be surprised if your business associates disagree with you. Be passionate, but avoid conflict.

LIBRA

You want to be one of the crowd today, and to socialize with your business associates as well as your friends. Your competitive spirit (and ego) take over at work, so try to remember to be as warm and charming as you can when pushing for your ideas and beliefs. Your man probably has his own ideas too.

SCORPIO
You are in needy mode today wanting love, affection and tolerance, and your love life will be very healing. Your strength lies in your strong but sensitive feelings, and the way you do everything with creativity. Try not to let your reactions at work be too emotional.

SAGITTARIUS
You need your space at home, and at least some time alone to process everything you’ve been doing - and the risks you’ve been taking. Your man probably finds your optimism and self-confidence a huge turn-on, which is a great boost to your sexual self confidence.

CAPRICORN
You need your man’s respect, friendship and understanding to be able to act out your fantasies with confidence. It's time for a serious discussion, be it a joint business venture or marriage – but, get the finances sorted out first. Avoid accidents on the road.

AQUARIUS
Be careful of accidents at work. Competition is good, but not when it disintegrates into an argument or impulsive action which you regret later. Give free reign to your imagination, and come up with some interesting, innovative solutions. Express your love – romance rules!

PISCES
Let friends and colleagues give you the admiration and friendship you crave. If you do, you can give the same to your lover without feeling deprived, yourself. Keep to a steady routine over the next few days, at least – this will help give you self-confidence. Creativity rules in all areas of your life.

ARIES

Today is all about power and survival, especially at home. Instead of reacting in a fighting, argumentative way, use your creative talents to come up with innovative answers to your problems. Don’t rush in – think carefully first. You do have a softer side, so use it.

TAURUS
You are at your most physically attractive, and this is combined with good judgment and a friendly demeanour. You can only do well when you network and call up business contacts and associates. Your man seems extremely supportive, especially if your career goals match. Love is fun.

GEMINI

Try not to be on the defensive at meetings in the workplace as this will only make you say too much. Stop and think, using both the level-headed air-sign approach and the emotional, water-sign one. The combination will be dynamic. Don’t talk too much in bed either.

CANCER
If there are financial matters to sort out, do so – but try not to let your emotions win out over rational judgment. You are more headstrong than usual and accidents, stings and burns can easily happen so do be careful.

You are still feeling the effects of the Full Moon, but the feelings of frustration will ease as your energy levels rise and you start to achieve whatever you've set out to do. Tune in to your intuition – even your dreams have meaning. Love strengthens as passions rise.

VIRGO
The Moon and Neptune meet in your house of love today so enjoy some sizzling romance. Use your intuition to know when to hold back, but affectionate love rules. As you find it hard to switch off, this is a good day for planning new contacts and signing up new clients.

LIBRA
Business associates and colleagues will be impressed with your latest ideas. You don’t need to get down to the hard work of getting it altogether. Did last night’s Full Moon give you a sleepless night? Socialize with friends, but have an early night.

SCORPIO
The Full Moon wasn’t that easy on you as it focussed on your home and family, causing tension and stress. As the Moon moves into Pisces you feel much happier, and your imagination flows with ideas. This creative edge inspires your career aspirations to new heights. In love, destiny calls.

SAGITTARIUS

The Moon moves out of your Aquarian comfort zone and into Pisces which means that getting down to practicalities will be far more difficult today. The good side is you will be more tolerant and your verbal arrows will lessen. Love-wise, you’ll need more space today.

CAPRICORN
There is less of a battle of wills in your love life today, and you start to relax as you become more understanding and intuitive. Love is warm and fuzzy rather than sexually edgy. Discuss joint financial matters, and tune in to your intuition to find the right time. Socialize and invite friends over.

AQUARIUS
After your almost superhuman energy levels these last few days you can relax and let yourself become romantic and sentimental. Don’t drift, though, no matter what the temptation – unless the Full Moon last night meant you didn’t get any sleep and you need to recharge your batteries.

PISCES
Love-wise you can now relax and have a bit more fun. Reality could get washed away by your emotionality. Surround yourself with uplifting fire signs or unemotional air sign friends to keep you upbeat, and make sure you stick with your commitments.

ARIES

You probably enjoyed the last few days as not even the Full Moon could make you feel less than fabulous. But as the Moon moves into Pisces you could become more moody, worrying about the troubles you’ve created for yourself. The truth always comes out! Let your softer, maternal side rule your love life.

TAURUS
Any lurking tension about career problems should disappear, at least for a few days. You are making great progress, especially if starting a business from home or anything to do with real estate. Socialize, and invite friends home – and don’t worry if there is no permanent man in your life at the moment.

GEMINI
Have you had instant attraction to an amazing man? The Moon moving into Pisces makes your intuition much stronger and you are able to see him for who he really is. If this alters your perception, better now than later! He has to share your highest aspirations, not just your bed.

CANCER
After some tension over the past few days (especially over finances) your love life relaxes into an imaginative bond. Let your flights of fancy free you from all restrictions. You're sometimes suspicious of others; let your heightened intuitive powers provide the truth.

The full Moon is encouraging you to make an impression today, so make sure you are looking your best. Singles, you could meet a new prospective partner - one who helps you further your ambitions. Your behaviour is slightly less conventional than usual, tending toward rebellion.

VIRGO
You attain an interesting balance between feminine neediness and masculine detachment which is completely intriguing to the men in your life. Your energy levels might be a bit low, so be ready to cancel or change your plans. Make sure you are eating a healthy diet to get all the vitamins you need.

LIBRA
Your love life is energetic and elaborate. This could be with your committed boyfriend or just as a casual fling. There doesn’t seem to be much emotional input, though, and the focus is really on having fun. You are very headstrong and will do exactly what you want.

SCORPIO
Try to be tolerant of other people, no matter how difficult this is. Spend time this weekend at home and with your family as a break from work stress. You’d love a trip overseas, but work is taking precedence. Your sexual attractiveness means you are seldom without a gorgeous guy in tow.

SAGITTARIUS
If you really want a loving relationship, trying keeping your opinions to yourself and be ready to give as well as take. A keen sense of humour helps too, especially if you can laugh at yourself. Your partner’s income or joint resources need your expertise and input, but be diplomatic.

CAPRICORN
You know exactly what you want and how to get it today, although this might take a bit longer than you care to wait. Your rational ideas combined with unexpected innovation could really boost your finances and investments. Love-wise, you are content to keep learning.

AQUARIUS
Your love-life is important, as long as he continues to support your goals. If not, he might as well bow out now. You could try to put more focus on him rather than on yourself. Your social life is active and fun today, and everyone notices your beauty.

PISCES
After what was probably a very busy, tiring week at work, now you can relax and have some fun with the emphasis on friendship and the pursuit of pleasure. Try to control your emotions if there is confusion in your love life, otherwise your health will suffer.

ARIES
It is all about socializing, having fun and chasing love and romance. Enjoy, and try not to rush in with answers to everyone’s problems. Love-wise, there might not be much emotion, but the sex is mega.

TAURUS
It is the weekend so, if you can, stop worrying about your career for just a couple of days. Get rid of the tension by inviting friends over, chatting to family and letting the different facets of your personality be seen. You don’t have to impress anyone.

GEMINI
You meet new people this weekend, and there is instant attraction between you and a complete stranger. You love finding out how people tick and what motivates them – the more exciting, the better. Whether the attraction will last is another story... in the meantime, satisfy your sexual appetite.

CANCER

The Full Moon makes your feelings very intense – one minute you need intimacy, the next you’ve gone completely cold. You’ll have to work hard to bring back your warmth and passion. If financial matters are harming your relationship, clear the air through discussions.

Do everything at work and in your social life in a dignified manner if you want the right kind of attention. This doesn’t mean, however, that you have to take yourself too seriously. Love-wise, keep a light touch if you want sex to be great.

VIRGO
You tend to be detached and unemotional today when faced with situations that demand your attention where you focus your mind on the task in hand and ignore everything else around. Health-wise, home-made veggie soup acts as a detox. In love, expect the unexpected.

LIBRA
Cool, a bit zany and buzzing with creative ideas, you are more of a 'mind person' than warm and emotional – which is exactly what is needed today to help you further your professional ambitions. Despite your somewhat judgmental attitude, your love life is unforgettable.

SCORPIO
The Moon is urging you to tidy up your life – your home, your office space, and even your mind. But, the truth is, you enjoy your rather messy existence where you can laugh, cry, make love and be yourself. You might make an effort to transform yourself for your man, but do you mean it?

SAGITTARIUS
Self-reliant today, you feel you can achieve more on your own and it is a great day to get your plans together. Just don’t let yourself get lonely. Make an effort to have coffee or a drink with friends, pick up the phone or chat online.

CAPRICORN
Today you detach yourself from everyone else's emotions and try to make sense of things in a practical way. If you can, try to see the bigger picture. There could be a confrontation with your man or perhaps business partner which won’t be to your advantage – avoid it if possible.

AQUARIUS
Organization is the key word today. Your ideas are original and you prefer to work on your own without interference. As far as your love-life goes, today you need your man to be your friend and your support. Love-making may not be a priority.

PISCES
Your compassion and sympathy is usually reserved for the people you love, but today it covers all of humanity and you dream of alleviating suffering. At work, though, you are more practical and you come up with some clever ideas. Only erotic love will satisfy.

ARIES
One minute you're thinking, and the next you're rushing around organizing everything. That is, of course, until the next brilliant idea makes you forget the last one. If you can keep your mind on one thing at a time, it will be a very productive and satisfying day. You need playful, fun lovemaking.

TAURUS
You could be inundated with friends and family members who want you to listen to their problems and you respond with solid advice. Your career will benefit from some of these ideas, and today you seem to know exactly what should be done. Love is a mind-game today.

GEMINI

Listen to your intuition, and be ready to make changes in your life. Travel abroad is calling, but you could be equally happy just visiting and moving around your own neighbourhood. Needing a new computer or car? Today is a good one to buy – if you have the money.

CANCER
You're warm with friends and colleagues which belies a deeper intensity and a desire to make money. You could be trying to transform your love life so that you are the one in charge, but there could be disagreements as you veer from loving intimacy to cool detachment.

With your career uppermost in your mind, you are ready to fight for the freedom to do whatever you think is best. Use all your charm, and be a team player – but keep your secrets to yourself. Love-wise, forget the future; just enjoy what comes your way.

VIRGO
Your investment ideas are quite narrow, but explore all the options, including those which challenge your ideas. Wait a few days before you make your decisions. You are quite dominant at work, but you need to transform yourself before you start trying to change your colleagues.

LIBRA
You want all your personal needs to be met today, but are unwilling to give up control. Luckily you are buffered by your charm and physical attractiveness. Discuss ideas and new information with your colleagues. All of it will add up to you achieving your career goals.

SCORPIO

You are the leader at work, and everyone seems to follow what you say. This becomes even easier when you add warmth and humour to the mix. This is a good day to talk about a medical procedure, just be sure to gather as much information as you can. Love-wise, move slowly.

SAGITTARIUS

Further studies will help your career ambitions and your bank balance. Don’t expect your work-mates to support everything you do; they’ll have to be convinced. This is a good time for networking, so mix business with pleasure.

CAPRICORN
You feel the passion and intensity, but can’t seem to show it to your man. Tomorrow you will feel differently. You certainly don’t seem in the mood to take risks in any area of your life, but this doesn’t mean you have to be judgemental. Allow yourself some romance.

AQUARIUS
Honesty is very important to you so having a secret, especially a love affair, does not sit easily and could cause you stress and even illness if you aren’t careful. Discuss things with a trusted member of your family. Real love conquers all.

PISCES
Your work is very important, but don’t trust all the advice you are given as not all of it is true. Be discerning. Your best bet is to get on with everything you have to do in as orderly way as possible. If you don’t want any disagreements or arguments, make changes quietly.

ARIES

You know how to get what you want by being as charming as possible, and you attract some very powerful allies. Love is something else, and there could easily be a complication or drama upsetting the relationship. Is this because you are overly ambitious?

TAURUS
When you have the right partner you live a really luxurious and stable life. Don’t let past disappointments affect you; try to be yourself. Someone close to you could become ill or need your help. Be your usually supportive, helpful self.

GEMINI
You are all fun on the surface, but there is an inner intensity and focus getting what you want, and ambition really does rule. Luckily your inner charm and diplomacy make everyone happy to do as you want. You need to tell him what you want; otherwise, how will he know?

CANCER
Career-wise, there is a problem which needs to be solved. It is up to you to initiate it. Don’t let uncertainty about the future undermine what you really want to do. Relax and think. You might get some inspiration from an air or fire sign friend. In love, is he really your soul mate?

You know exactly what you want today and at work you let everyone know it, though in the nicest possible way. You might have to change your travel or study plans – it's not a train-smash, just go with the flow. Your love flourishes when he is as stylish and ambitious as you.

VIRGO
Your quiet personality today belies your eagerness to let your imagination fly. You can see your goals; now is the time to reach for them. Be aware that others are not always as honest as you. Let your business contacts and friends help, and especially your love partner.

LIBRA
You are one of the most popular people around – but even you can have an emotional day occasionally. If this is happening to you, dress to kill and strut your stuff, and you’ll soon find your self-confidence returning. You and your man need to support each other.

SCORPIO

You like being in charge of your life - and your partner’s too. Just don’t let him know; be subtle. Talk about your vision for the future, both career-wise as well as for your love and home life, but keep it lighter than usual. Your sense of humour makes it all possible.

SAGITTARIUS
Your optimism today shines through in everything you do – reach beyond yourself. The sky is the limit. Contact with people who live far away, further studies or travelling are all exciting prospects. Instead of dreaming, do it! Don’t hold back in love.

CAPRICORN
There is no sense in limiting yourself - you want the best of everything. Ambition rules today, so give your imagination free reign and follow your dream with passion and intensity. Love-wise, don’t overreact if he doesn’t feel the same way. Discuss it with warmth and enthusiasm.

AQUARIUS

The more you can laugh together, the better your love life becomes. It's possible that you are hiding a delicious secret; you don’t have to tell anyone anything. Negotiations towards a joint venture progress slowly, but your strong sense of honour wins.

PISCES

You need the support of your colleagues and business associates otherwise you could become a bit depressed. Rather than give in to the dumps, have a massage, preferably by your partner – he will then be ready to gratify your every whim.

ARIES

TAURUS

Fair play is important today. If someone upsets you, your emotions could easily spill over. Just remember how attractive, creative and loving you are. It is time to go for what you want. Your family and home give you the support you need. Love-wise, go on and push all of his buttons.

GEMINI
The Moon’s intensity makes you more passionate about everything, and this comes across to everyone which makes them respond with equal enthusiasm . Make sure you have all the facts and figures. Try to be sensitive to the feelings of everyone, especially your man who is trying hard to please.

CANCER
You enjoy more erotic sex than most people realise. While today you show yourself as prudish, but no-one knows what goes on in your mind. Your finances are going through a high, so don’t waste the opportunities that come along. Be aware of deception and lies.

Most Leos will feel great today - happy, friendly and in a very positive mood, especially relating to work and your career. You're ready to fight for your freedom to do things your own way, but you're more relaxed than usual. Later in the day you become more demanding of your man, and daring too.

VIRGO
The start of the day is peaceful, and your family is very co-operative. As the day wears on you become more creative, and make more effort at work to make money. Team efforts work best. Be quietly magnet and loving rather than flashy with your man.

LIBRA
This morning is all about chatting to friends, calling up business associates and collaborating with colleagues. Later, your focus is on your own domestic and family issues. Expect an argument over your need for more freedom. You know what you want and how to get it.

SCORPIO
Discuss financial matters at work in the morning, and take advantage of the positive attitude to express your feelings in an honest, but calm way. Your two personal planets, Mars and Pluto, are in opposition. Quietly take control, and transform your life as you want it to be. Keep your love life simple today.

SAGITTARIUS
Peace reigns early on, but as the day progresses your thoughts turn more towards your finances. Tension rises as you try to decide if you can afford to travel or enrol in further studies. Don’t take yourself too seriously.

PISCES
Your work and career are the driving force early in the day, and you achieve success in your endeavours. Your creative talents might be unusually unrestrained. Follow your heart, especially in romantic situations. You can expect a very social evening.

ARIES
Using your creative talents is one way to make money, but as the day wears on you realise that your career choice needs a wide input of talents. You are totally your own person and know exactly how to transform yourself and your life to suit your present circumstances. Love is also a learning curve.

TAURUS
You and your man seem very together over shared resources and about who pays for what – even joint bank accounts don’t seem to upset you. By this evening you’ll be more outspoken about what you really want and think as your personal needs become more important. Only the best does it for you.

8 August 011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/8-august-011 LEO
With Mercury moving into your sign today you become more curious, looking for information and dreaming up new ideas that will benefit you. Don’t let your imagination run away with you! Sound judgment is needed if you are to fulfil your ambitions. Love might be a battle.

VIRGO
It's vital that you keep your activities confidential, and it’s best not to share your ideas right now - at least until Mercury move back into your own sign next month. Finding answers at work is hard, but don’t be too impulsive. Being feminine and passive could work with your man.

LIBRA
Mercury moves retrograde back into Leo today. There could be a lack of information as well as a feeling of being unable to get organized. You might have to cancel events at work as well as social ones which is frustrating. Let your man take the lead – it will make him feel wonderful.

SCORPIO

Make sure everything you say is true and that what you do is honest as you will be asked to explain your actions, especially if your point of view is unpopular. Luckily, you are feeling positive and know exactly what you are doing. You expect total loyalty from your lover – does he give it?

SAGITTARIUS
There could be a delay in your travel plans – check on flight times and possible cancellations. You might find people with different viewpoints to yours upsetting, especially if this touches on your spiritual beliefs. Don’t overreact. Luxurious love-making will help.

CAPRICORN
Make sure your insurances and taxes are up-to-date, and also that any joint ventures and accounts are in order. Check carefully as the information you receive may not be accurate. Be diplomatic when you make your opinions known. Love-wise, do you want romance or someone on your intellectual level?

AQUARIUS
Don’t expect anyone to co-operate with you today; you’ll just have to go it alone if need be. Instead of giving in to stress and tension, make more of an effort to talk people about your point of view. Your man appreciates your extraordinary qualities, and passion rules.

PISCES
It could be an annoying day with your computer and other office equipment breaking down, you can’t seem to get on with your work assignments. Misunderstandings with colleagues arise. It's probably nothing serious – just aggravating. Your man should be understanding.

ARIES
Keep an eye on your possessions – you could easily lose tickets for a show, a flight could be delayed, or you are given the wrong time for an event. Check and check again! You could find your home life a bit stifling, and you need some space today.

TAURUS
Even when a special relationship ends, you could still find him sexually attractive. Don’t tell your present man or your ex! Keep your house keys safe today, and the deeds or agreements locked away. Avoid arguments at home.

GEMINI

Your personal planet, Mercury, moves retrograde back into Leo, so avoid accidents on the road, make sure your car is in good condition and don’t drive too fast. A business meeting will be successful, but will take longer than usual for everyone to understand what you have to say. Be concise.

CANCER
There could easily be a mistake in an account, bill or bank statement so check everything very carefully today as well as for the rest of the month. It will be easy for you to put your new ideas across in a spontaneous way, and everyone accepts your need for freedom now. Indulge in his lively approach to love-making.

This weekend you will need a lot of exciting things to do to keep your interest – use your charm and enthusiasm to get everyone to go along with what you want to do. The more creative you are the better. He seems to push all the right buttons for you, and new ideas rule.

VIRGO
You probably want to get out today as the emotions of your home and family might be just a bit much. Rather than criticise get out, work off any angst through exercise and participate in a group sport. Enthusiastic sex works too.

LIBRA
Can you think of a better day to satisfy your every wish, no matter how naughty? Don’t limit yourself, but don’t exhaust yourself too much either – it’s back to work tomorrow! Emotionally, it's another story as Neptune is confusing what should be an easy question.

SCORPIO
Career-wise you are still on a high, but you could be questioning whether you’re making the money you deserve. Questions won't be answered today, but you can formulate them in your mind. Your man’s luck rubs off on you, and together you can take on the world.

SAGITTARIUS

Talk about having it all! Just remember to look at the small print if you want to make it big. You can act like one of the boys, but remember that femininity can also be powerful. Singles, there is the chance of someone new and exciting coming into your life.

CAPRICORN
Your wit and ambition carry you wherever you want to go today, and when you talk everyone will listen. There are still a few frustrations, but the potential is there so don’t let too much passion and intensity dampen your spirits. Love-wise, don’t let a past relationship intrude.

AQUARIUS
You want to be noticed – by your man, by your friends, and at work. Let your creative talents fly today in all areas of life, from love-making to being the domestic Goddess to finding innovative solutions for every problem. Forget logic, and let passion rule.

PISCES
It's Sunday, so why are you worrying about your work and career? If you scatter your energy too far you’ll make yourself ill. Mars suggests that you let romance into your life by letting your creative talents and ideas flow – maybe he is the one for you? Give it a go.

ARIES
You just love living outside the rules, but instead of just thinking of yourself (and maybe your man) you can actually do a lot for the people around you and be a force of good in the world. Don’t limit yourself: with your talents you can achieve everything. Love is competitive.

TAURUS
You want the good life – just remember that more is not always the best. Your creative talents at home and at work are sharp, and you can easily earn the salary you want. Just think creatively, and be in touch with the ‘right’ people. In love, who has the biggest libido?

GEMINI
Do you feel a bit of tension in your love life? Good clear communication is the key – try listening as well as talking. You love big, bold men with just a hint of wildness to add spice. The trouble is he probably won’t put up with being bossed.

CANCER
You are ultra-sensitive and easily hurt today, maybe through a problem at home. Instead of being judgmental, let his lively approach shake you out of your blue mood. Then, you’ll enjoy satisfying your more adventurous fantasies.

6 August 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/6-august-2011 LEO
If you find anger building up, don’t boil over; instead use the energy to find solutions to problems, and do some hard physical work. Some wild, physical sex will help too – and also help you forget any feelings of mistrust or uncertainty.

VIRGO
You are making fast progress career-wise, so you shouldn't feel down! Your enthusiasm is infectious as you encourage your colleagues and business associates to discuss your solutions to your problems in a patient, focussed way. In the bedroom, take your power!

LIBRA
Your success comes through your patience when dealing with colleagues, business associates and even your friends. Concentrate and be in control rather than over-reacting. The more practical you are the better. Giving in to your man could be quite a turn-on for both of you.

SCORPIO

Stop worrying about your work and career; you will accomplish everything you need, and you even get along with authority figures. Learning a new skill helps your progress too. You're in party mode, but don’t over-indulge, especially not in alcohol. Healing, trusting sex is best for both of you.

SAGITTARIUS
It’s Saturday and you want to party and meet as many new people as possible, so make sure you are where it's all happening. Just don’t overdo the eating and drinking or you’ll miss out on bonding with your man.

CAPRICORN
You can show huge emotion when necessary, but don’t confuse superficial feelings with the real thing. Love is a bit of a mystery, but satisfying. When you mentally focus you have the advantage of total control over your life, your finances and your career.

AQUARIUS
It might be to your advantage to change your plans today if the need arises. Just go with the flow as you could meet a prospective new love partner or someone who will help you fulfil your career aspirations. Don’t overreact! Intense passion rules.

PISCES
Let your sense of humour have free rein, and remember to laugh at yourself. Be sociable, but don't go OTT. You are more than usually intense as well as tense which is not good for your health, so do what makes you unwind – dance, laugh, listen to music and let your imagination roam free.

ARIES
Your drive and energy could be exhausting for the people around you, but try to ignore them and get on with everything you need to do. As long as you achieve no-one will criticise you. Your creative talents shine today, and love is hot, heavy and addictive.

TAURUS
Invite friends home this evening or enjoy a special family dinner. It could be a good time to introduce your new man to everyone. One of your siblings seems to need your attention. The trick is to know when to concentrate on your needs and when to indulge his.

GEMINI
Find practical solutions rather than rushing into everything and then blowing your top when it all goes wrong. Your brilliant streak finds creative answers rather than the normal, straight- forward approach. The same goes for your love-life where fantasy rules.

CANCER

Being faithful to one person is not always your strong point, especially when so many new romantic opportunities are coming your way. Question: are being honest with yourself? Dramatic gestures won’t help. Forget baggage, and just have fun.

5 August 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/5-august-2011 LEO
Neptune moves retrograde back into Aquarius, so don’t believe everything people say. Your expectations of others could also be too high, whether it's your business or love partner. The more sensitive and intuitive you are the better. Your security comes through home and family.

VIRGO
You need to understand exactly what your job description is to avoid confusion. It's important that you don’t experiment with drugs or alcohol, so focus on a healthy diet and exercise regime. Tell him if you want him to take the lead.

LIBRA
Don’t rush into a new relationship as your love life seems the height of inspiration one minute, then filled with despair. This echoes your creative talents at work too. Whatever happens, avoid gambling, investing unwisely and get-rich-quick schemes.

SCORPIO
From love to hate and back again, and you're easily manipulated by tears. Enter into any property deals (buying, renting or renovating) with huge caution – not everyone is honest. Don’t let your imagination run away with you. Make your home a spiritual retreat where you can relax and unwind.

SAGITTARIUS
You will be given new methods, ideas and information, but sift through them as not all will work for you. Don’t rush into any new deals. Drive slowly, too, and don’t let your mind wander. Use compassion when dealing with siblings or neighbours to remove any mistrust or misunderstandings.

CAPRICORN

It will be hard to stick to your principles. Avoid extravagance and investing unwisely, and remember that money and material assets don’t bring happiness. Use your intuition. You need your man to make your life better, not add to your stress. If he succeeds, passion surfaces.

AQUARIUS
You could lose sight of reality, but instead of worrying about it or wallowing in self-pity, follow your intuition as it could give even greater insights. The important thing is to keep a healthy self-image. Get a make-over if necessary. Love is getting serious.

PISCES
Your spiritual growth and understanding is far more important now. The trick is to avoid fear of the future and of meeting new people – and especially not to indulge in drugs and alcohol. Focussing your mind at work overcomes any problems. Your love life is predestined to have lots of highs and lows.

ARIES
You could feel that your career isn’t providing the material rewards you want, and it's hard to be realistic, but try. New friends could need you more than you need them – are you ready to give help? If not, bow out now! You need all-consuming love to satisfy today.

TAURUS
Make sure your reputations stays intact. Honesty is the only option, and be careful who you choose to trust. You could easily feel your present direction has no meaning for you. Listen to your intuition. You want your man to be your guru, but it’s a tough ride for him.

GEMINI

You want to rush off in every direction without too much thought, and your imagination is running riot so you’ll have to work very hard to keep things practical. In love, though, your fantasies could easily become reality.

CANCER
You could easily be persuaded by your partner that his values are better than your own, but check his motivation. Make sure your taxes, insurance etc. are up-to-date. You could be very vulnerable sexually so take extra care. Love is one thing, casual sex quite another.

4 August 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/4-august-2011 LEO
Today is great for business meetings as you are able to express yourself warmly while still focussing your mind on the important details. You are able to accomplish a lot so you don’t need to be dramatic – less is more! Your love life is fun rather than deep and serious.

VIRGO
Your friends need you today, so offer your practical advice and your financial know-how. Use this knowledge for yourself, too, as your judgment is excellent today - though lacking a little when it comes to your love life. Are you keeping a secret? Try not to repeat a past mistake – leopards don't change their spots.

LIBRA
Luck is seriously on your side and it rubs off on everyone around you, especially friends, colleagues and the man in your life so make the most of it. It’s time to work towards a leaner, fitter, healthier you, too. Show your warm, loving self to your man.

SCORPIO
You come across as quite self-sufficient but also tolerant and sensitive, attributes which work
well for your career. It's time to do some self-promoting as well as waiting for everyone to notice you. Socialize with colleagues and business associates. Love is cool.

SAGITTARIUS
This month is still about adventure, freedom and having fun, but there are important issues that need dealing with - a meeting to do with money or an inheritance works well when you use diplomacy, but think before you speak. A trip abroad looks promising whether for business or a holiday.

CAPRICORN
Financial issues, especially to do with a partnership or joint venture, need to be sorted, but your focus is more on getting co-operation and interaction rather than looking at figures. You might find it hard to warm to people or them to you, but keep at it as your views are very imaginative.

AQUARIUS
Your enthusiasm for your work spills over to colleagues, and further studies to improve your knowledge will give you a career boost. Love-wise, you are in affectionate mode, but could still be quite critical. Is your connection more mental than physical today?

PISCES
With the focus on health all month today you imagine all kinds of diseases and problems – keep it real! Luckily, your colleagues understand. You might be a bit OTT today, so try and keep the dramatic gestures under control. Your man is lucky as sex is a great escape for you tonight.

ARIES
You and your man are friends as well as lovers today, and giving support to each other's career aspirations helps you both. Love-wise, you should take the lead as you have some very innovative and creative ways of improving your sex life.

TAURUS
Your personal planet, Venus, makes wonderful aspects today and meetings, discussions and job interviews will be very successful. Keep to the point rather than making extravagant gestures, but it's okay to show your creative talents and warm personality. Love is slow to start.

GEMINI
Today is all about communication, whether it's with business associates, friends or family. You seem to have a role to play in everyone’s lives. Do what is necessary to make more money, and don’t forget to take your car for a service. There doesn’t seem to be much time for sex.

CANCER
You are refreshingly open about your sexuality today, and ready to tell your man exactly what turns you on. Just make sure he's ready to receive your ideas. Finance-wise you are inspired almost to the point of aggression, but certainly very active. Listen to parental advice.

As Mars enters the sign of Cancer, you want to get things done and you're more than usually inclined to take a few risks. Listen to your intuition – it will guide you in the right direction, especially if you feel you're losing your personal power. If you're using flattery, keep it light.

VIRGO
Mars moving into Cancer is encouraging you to take more of an interest in your friends, and business associates. You're more willing to work with others, but are still very decisive, and quite ready to move on if he doesn’t fulfil your passions.

LIBRA
You will find that you are far more enthusiastic about your career and long-term ambitions, and right now it is all about self-promotion. Everyone notices you, and you know exactly how to make people adore you. Your love life has to be fun; try some experimental sex if you're feeling bored.

SCORPIO
As Mars moves into Cancer you find it hard to know which direction to take as so many different ideas and new ventures come your way. A business trip will be successful. Make friends with people from different countries or backgrounds, and focus on fun and adventure.

SAGITTARIUS
As Mars moved into Cancer you could experience some angst over your family, home and perhaps an inheritance. Keep your cool at all costs. You are more passionate about everything you do, especially your love-life where you can forget convention. It's time to let yourself go.

CAPRICORN
Take control of your love life. You are more impulsive usual, and you know who and what you want, but don’t come across as too aggressive, especially over shared finances or joint ventures. Your love life is quite emotional, but reassuring at the same time.

AQUARIUS
You are in a rush to get everything done and dusted at work and at home, and you have some crazy, but innovative ideas - just watch out for accidents. Avoid road rage too. Love-wise, if your enthusiasm doesn’t enliven your man, you’ll just move on.

PISCES

Your personal magnetism wins over your impatience. You want to enjoy love and romance, and are quite prepared for some risqué adventures. Jealousy, on the other hand, is a different matter, and he’d better shape up! Your work is benefitting from your creative talents.

ARIES
Your personal planet, Mars, moves into Cancer today, and you are more home-loving and warm towards your man and your family. At the same time, you want to take control and to organise household décor and repairs. Take the lead in your love life – he'll love it!

TAURUS
You will accomplish a lot now that Mars has moved into Cancer; just don’t exhaust yourself. Mars is quite combative, so don’t be too aggressive – use your charm instead. You are full of ideas that include writing, design, and the arts. Love might be a slow starter, but soon it will get hot and heavy.

GEMINI
Your money-making skills are sharp now that Mars has moved into Cancer, and the answer lies in your communication skills, your ability to chat and get others to listen as well as in your leadership skills. Love may not be the warmest, but success at work makes up for it.

CANCER
You are certainly not going to listen to anyone else now that Mars has moved into your own sign. You will be more independent and impulsive, and you're oozing self-confidence. You know exactly how to make money and are prepared to go for it. Sex is liberal, hot and erotic.

You are doing a great job of masking any fears or worries, and at work your positive thinking will make you very successful – just don’t be in too much of a hurry to solve problems. Think them through carefully for the best results. Love-wise, charm wins.

VIRGO
Loyalty and devotion to duty are important to you today so you’ll achieve a lot at work. It's through further study that you’ll expand your knowledge and if you can mix this with your sharp intuition, it will be a winning combination. This isn’t a day for taking risks, especially in your love life, so don’t be persuaded.

LIBRA
Your sweetness and good nature shine today, especially when dealing with business associates and groups of friends. Is there much passion in your love life? Probably not, but don’t stress about it. It will be good to have a break and re-charge your batteries. Your career benefits from your networking abilities.

SCORPIO
Career-wise, there could be some intense competition leading to confrontation and anger, so make an extra effort to keep everything under control. Use all your diplomacy and tact, and leave the intensity and passion for your love life.

SAGITTARIUS

You are in more of a romantic than passionate mood today, but he might think you are a bit unreliable. Your charm spills over, not just to your man but in everything you do which gives your career a boost. This is the perfect time for learning new skills.

CAPRICORN
Passion and love run hot and cold today. You would do better to stick to educational and cultural pursuits that you can enjoy together. At work, try not to get angry if colleagues don’t always agree with everything you do and say – you’ll only end up with a headache or having an accident.

AQUARIUS
You are far more intense and passionate about what you do at the moment. Using your creative skills will certainly revitalize your love and romantic life, and let sordid reality fade. Use your lateral thinking to solve problems at work. You'll get even better results when combining it with your active imagination.

PISCES
If your spirits are sagging a bit at home or at work, sit down and use your considerable mental powers to solve the problems. A dash of your intuition will help too. Don’t rush into anything – co-operate, and try not to show too much emotion. The more tact you use the better.

ARIES
You're romantic and provocative today which is intriguing to your man, but don’t overdo the aggression or it could lead to an argument over absolutely nothing. Keep your criticisms for the workplace, and not for him. At work you don't have time for anyone’s weaknesses – just remember not everyone is as strong as you.

TAURUS

A clash between what you want and what your parents want could still be causing a few arguments. Use all your common sense together with your endearing charm to calm any bad feelings. It's time to think creatively. Love-wise, is it real love or just ecstatic sex?

GEMINI
Your ability to stick to one thing at a time is lacking today, and your mind is scattered as you rush from job to job, starting with great enthusiasm but soon waning, If you are really keen on your man, don’t give him the impression that your feelings are waning – you’ll be more enthusiastic tomorrow.

CANCER
You are excellent at dealing with people, and personnel management is your forte as you seem to be able to pick up on everyone’s problems, despite what they say to the contrary. Use this ability in your love life and you'll solve any issues that arise. Your confidence is rubbing off everyone today, and it's win-win situations wherever you go.

1 August 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/1-august-2011 LEO
The New Moon in your sign makes this your day, though it may be a bit too forceful for some. Sort out your finances over the next couple of days as your financial planet, Mercury, moves retrograde on Thursday for most of the month. It's best not to overspend until next month. Love is unpredictable, but juicy.

VIRGO
You can be totally honest about your feelings, but in a nurturing and protective way if your mind is a bit confused about what you really want. Try not to come across as ‘holier than thou’ as it won’t go down well. Taking on more responsibility and extra work will be noticed.

LIBRA
You need your lover to be sweet and good-natured, as well as sexy, macho and very secure financially. This might be difficult to find in just one man. Don’t try to do too much today – quality time is probably better than quantity especially when visiting clients.

SCORPIO
At work, pay close attention to details and subtleties and this, in turn, will help your financial situation. It's time to call in any money owed to you. Be decisive, but not bad-tempered. Not everyone is out to cheat you – don’t let your imagination run away with you!

SAGITTARIUS

You would love to get away on a business trip or holiday, but it seems that you have too many commitments. Finish what has to be done first, and use your considerable diplomatic skills to get everyone on your side. It might make your man even more eager.

CAPRICORN
Not many people realize that many Caps are secret gamblers who quite enjoying taking the odd risk or two. Optimism and luck are with you today but your personal planet, Saturn, is warning against excess. Your man is very lucky today as you are willing to try out a few sexy new tricks.

AQUARIUS
There could be a bit of a difference of opinion between you and your man, or between you and your family about your man. Are issues of commitment the problem here? You seem more willing than usual to compromise, and to reason everything out. In love, it's fantasy time.

PISCES
Have you done it again - fallen in love without thinking about the consequences? If confusion is blinding you to reality, you’ll come down to earth soon enough. Just enjoy while it lasts. Don’t forget there are real issues too such as work, daily commitments and money.

ARIES
Your quick mind is even sharper than usual as you are ready to listen, learn and, for once, pay attention to all the small details as well as the big picture. Your creative juices are in conflict with your need to make money – which is more important? Try to understand your man’s weaknesses as he accepts yours.

TAURUS
You could easily have a disagreement with one of your parents today – perhaps you are spending your time on your own needs rather than your home and family? Do what is more important. Think creatively so you know what to do next while using your usual charm, poise and common sense.

GEMINI
Feeling just a bit unappreciated? Don’t let your imagination run away with you – you are loved and supported both at home and at work. Instead of trying to do too many things at once, try to concentrate on the most important and work through your list. Love-wise, he’s probably feeling a bit bewildered.

CANCER
The fantasy is that you want to be ‘rescued’ by a gorgeous prince, but the reality is that you are extremely capable in your own right, so don’t be nervous. You could be getting too much differing financial advice from too many people. Don’t take risks – think carefully first.

Stress and even depression could mar your day if you let it get the better of you. Some hard work and interaction with colleagues will bring back your sense of humour.

Try not to nit-pick at work, as this will only make your colleagues antagonistic towards you. They probably aren't as ambitious as you. Try to loosen up, laugh and chat. Socialise. Your finances need careful planning, rather than rash spending.

GEMINI
You are full of bright, sunshine energy today. You're interested in everything and everyone and your mind is even more scattered than usual. Chatting, socialising and networking are on the cards today - the more you can get out and about the better. Love-wise, he'll be the first to get exhausted…

21 July 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/21-july-2011 CANCER
Use your insight and understanding to transform your work and your life. You have some innovative ideas that express your own unique self. Your man responds to loving support and any problems or hurt feelings will fade as the excitement returns.

LEO
You are quite a fighter today, especially if you think there are injustices being done to you or your colleagues. Take a step back and try and see the situation from every angle before speaking your mind. You need your love life to be warm and romantic, otherwise you'd prefer to just curl up with a good movie!

VIRGO
You probably find that your man wants you to take care of him today, which is great in the short term, but you need looking after too! Remind him that real relationships are equal partnerships even if he is offering stellar sex. Today is about self-promotion at work and at home.

LIBRA
If your love life isn't fun, you'll have to indulge in social events and visit friends who can make you laugh. Be spontaneous in your love life, but keep some of your opinions to yourself. If you really want wild sex, be aware that bossiness can be a turn-off.

SCORPIO
Try not to hold on to any grievances over money. When you see the situation from everyone's point of view, you'll get an understanding that will transform your life. Sexual tension could be rising, but some lusty, active sex will relieve it all.

SAGITTARIUS
Your relationship with colleagues at work could be frustrating, as you can't tell who is reliable or trustworthy. It's probably all in your imagination, as your mind is working overtime. You need some loving support, preferably from your man in a warm and cosy atmosphere.

CAPRICORN
Hotter than usual, you'll only be satisfied with rapturous sex tonight. At work, a situation (probably over money) arises and your input is invaluable. You find a solution that satisfies everyone and calms the atmosphere.

AQUARIUS
You need both a stimulating career and exotic love life to keep you interested, otherwise boredom takes over and you get ready to move on. You are in a bit of an anti-social mood and are unable to rely on friends. Just being your usual individual self excites your man…

PISCES
Having a bad hair day? Feel a bit out of sorts? You need something to calm you down. Perhaps a bit of retail therapy will help. Just don't overspend on your credit card. You might have some innovative ideas for making money, but these take time. Love is tender, rather than exotic.

ARIES
You are energetic, enthusiastic, but impatient today. Your boss might appreciate these traits, but your colleagues might not be so understanding. You need to find balance. A financial situation is frustrating – even if it's nothing more than a delayed bank statement. Don't overreact. Love is urgent…

TAURUS
You want to improve things in the world, at work and at home. Concentrate more on yourself, on being successful and leave everyone else to sort out their own problems. Give your man the admiration he wants, then he'll be the stud you need.

GEMINI
It is all about fun today, like planning or leaving on a trip abroad or doing some really inspired shopping (for yourself!). Your love life might be a bit frustrating, even if it's nothing specific. He just doesn't seem to be there for you. You need a friend as well as lover if the relationship is to last.

20 July 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/20-july-2011 CANCER
Your imagination is working overtime today, which makes you quite excitable and prone to arguments. As long as you slow down a little and consider everything carefully, channel this energy into your work and career and you'll have a winner of a day. Love is spontaneous and exciting.

LEO
It is certainly not a day to sit back. Today, you have to achieve. Your intuition is working overtime, so listen to it. You enjoy making new friends today, as long as they have something interesting to say. You do need your own space - especially for exhilarating sex…

VIRGO
It is time to relax and have some fun, or at the very least, bring some passion into your life. Passion in friendships, at work, in joint ventures and in love will spice up your life. Your love life will really improve when you take a genuine interest in him.

LIBRA
At work, your charm, combined with your enthusiasm, gets you noticed for your star performance. You seem softer and more genuinely interested in your friends and your lover than usual. You need your love life to be fun and playful. Passion comes later.

SCORPIO
Your life seems to be on the boil and ready to bubble over at any time. What can you do to relieve the pressure before you're hit with a migraine? Mars is making you overreact, so just slow down and think before you speak. Lusty sex is a wonderful antidote.

SAGITTARIUS

Mars is encouraging you to show off and let everyone know just what a superstar you are. This makes you question whether you are being paid enough for the job you are doing. Don't over-inflate yourself or your job. Keep all that passion for your love life where your imagination can run riot.

CAPRICORN
You seem a bit more tense than usual, especially at home where you probably tell your man exactly what he should do. Moderation is needed, though it's good for him to know you aren't a doormat. A girl's night out could be a good idea, as you need some light-hearted fun.

AQUARIUS
There are chores to be done: routine, boring stuff that doesn't stimulate you today. Get stuck into cooking where your creative flair, combined with accurate measurements, will be really appreciated. Good communication will encourage your colleagues to help at work. Love? Feisty!

PISCES
You could dampen your inner fire to such an extent that you put it out - or make it bubble with excitement! Your mood determines which it will be, but Mars is urging you to use your creative talents at work and in the bedroom, where you are more adventurous than usual.

ARIES
Your home and family need you, but you are in independent mode and your impatience could upset them. Being practical and logical will help, but you need to try and bring in a bit of compassion and understanding. Aggressive desire in your love life stimulates your man.

TAURUS
Avoid trying to take the credit without putting in your fair share of the work. Also, avoid blaming everyone else for your shortcomings. Sensual pleasures are needed with or without your man. Massages, a bubble bath or belly dancing will heighten your imagination. You're ready for earthy sex…

GEMINI
You aren't in domestic mode today. Instead you are ready for adventure. You want to go abroad, broaden your mind and, most of all, have some fun. Does your bank balance match? Mars is encouraging you to do whatever you want. Caution - accidents could happen today.

19 July 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/19-july-2011 CANCER
You're popular and attractive – everyone notices you today. Get in touch with financial experts for investment advice rather than try to decide for yourself. Your travel plans could be delayed or changed. Don't overreact. Go with the flow. Your love life is enjoyably intense.

LEO
You know how to compete in a man's world and with Jupiter bringing you luck there is nothing you can't achieve. You are popular with colleagues and business associates, so let them help you rather than trying to do it all on your own. You need passionate lovemaking, but does he?

VIRGO
You are in a soft loving mood today and everyone responds. This is the best day for making new business contacts and advertising your abilities and your business. But, you might need to fire a colleague to get you going. Let your man take you out of your comfortable rut and have fun.

LIBRA
There is so much work to get through that you might forget the lovely, emotional side of you today. You work from a no-nonsense standpoint. You need balance today. Love? Compulsive!

SCORPIO
Your instinct for doing the right thing works well today, especially as you keep your criticisms to yourself. Your logic might not be strong and you tend to go by feelings instead. You do need time alone, but you might need a fire or air sign to keep you buoyant.

SAGITTARIUS
You could get a bit irritated today and overreact - try to keep cool. Be ready with the apologies when necessary. You won't be intentionally mean, but might speak without thinking. Intense passionate lovemaking will relieve any stress and keep your man happy.

CAPRICORN
You need your man to make your life fun and adventurous. If there is no time to climb that mountain, get a funny movie and curl up on the sofa. Lovemaking promises to be too good to resist. At work, you could be a bit of a pushover.

AQUARIUS
Your imagination works overtime as you think of new and innovative ways of making money, without losing your no-nonsense approach to work. Mars might make you lose your temper, especially if you overindulge with alcohol. Watch out for adverse drug reactions too. Lovemaking is inspired.

PISCES
Reality is difficult for you to find today, so you need your friends - a fire sign to energise you, air to lift you up and earth to ground you. Your imagination is taking you into realms of fantasy and your love life leaves you feeling almost dizzy! Think about a new business venture.

ARIES
If you are worrying about something, take time out at home to think it through. Get all the facts and figures in place. Do take care, especially when in the kitchen or when you're driving - avoid burns, cuts and accidents. Love is far more emotional and maternal than usual.

TAURUS
You're in a loving mood and you show your affection through practical help, as well as with your sense of humour, which cheers everyone up. Social events and friends will keep you busy and at work, call up business associates and make new contacts. Making money is a priority, but don't take risks.

GEMINI
If you can keep your mind on the job at hand, making money will be that much easier. Speak up and show your feelings, but don't get angry or you'll get a headache or other stress injury! Talking of that, when did you last have a dental check-up? You want him to support your ambitions, but is there love there too?

18 July 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/18-july-2011 CANCER
You can't cope on your own today and think you need a partner to rely on. Just remember what a strong woman you are. You are actually an extremely shrewd businesswoman. You've got everything going for you at the moment if you follow your vision. Loving sex will relieve any stress.

LEO
Watch what you say at work, as colleagues might not understand your mood and take offence. Luckily you are also in nurturing mood, so everyone forgives you. Love-making needs to be wild and romantic.

VIRGO
When you're in competent mode, you are able to do anything and everything in your own quiet way. You'll even put up with your partners' and colleagues' mess and untidiness. Relax tonight in a soft, feminine way. If there is no one special around, let your imagination take you on a magical fantasy tour.

LIBRA
You probably feel more reserved and shy than usual. Your intuition at work will take your career up a few notches, especially when sharing your ideas with your colleagues. Today, you are both emotional and rational. Your man will get quite a surprise if he tries to boss you around!

SCORPIO
Your creative juices flow today and will become even stronger if you have discussions with other experts and people who matter e.g. your boss. Just follow your instincts, as your intuition is very sharp today. You and your man seem to be totally in tune.

SAGITTARIUS
You aren't in practical mode today and you want to see the bigger picture. The same goes for finance and you can't be bothered with petty cash – you want the balance sheets. It might be a good idea to leave your credit card at home when shopping! Fantasy rules your love life.

CAPRICORN
Go on, take a chance on love and on life - be daring and do something outside your comfort zone. It might be scary, but it could be fun too! You are the best kind of friend today - supportive, loyal and understanding. A neighbour could have an accident with water or drugs and your practical help will be invaluable.

AQUARIUS
You could be considered unpredictable at work today. You come up with imaginative and unusual ideas that don't fit into any categories. Good news? These will probably make your company and yourself more money! Today, you are more romantic than usual and lovemaking will be inspired.

PISCES
Helping everyone, especially the less fortunate, is great, but today you need to look after yourself, show yourself some compassion and have some fun. A new romantic involvement is probable for the single Pisces - is it fate?

ARIES
You are in a quieter mood than usual. Nothing is wrong, you're just a bit reflective and need some solitude. Your home is your safe-haven. Even your love life is warmer. There could be more cuddling than hot sex tonight. Finance-wise, you have more confidence and you're even ready to take an investment risk. Get expert advice.

TAURUS
Are you being 'pulled' out of your comfortable rut - made to talk, go to meetings, network and get your career on track again? Give your sense of humour free reign and remember that everyone really likes you. Even your romantic life is more fun than usual.

GEMINI
Keep your mind focused on your vision and your finances and career will take a leap forward. Talk to the right people and go on the Internet to keep up-to-date with what is happening so that no one takes advantage of you. When he understands you, the earth moves.

17 July 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/17-july-2011 CANCER
There is great financial support from your partner, financial experts and your family (even if they don't entirely approve). You have a better understanding of what you want from life and have some innovative ideas of how to get there. Your increased self-belief spices up your love life too.

LEO
The bond between you and your man is stronger than ever. You boost and support each other's ambitions and dreams. You have the ideas, but are you ready to see the project through? Your sex life is enviable, but is there enough emotion to keep the relationship going?

VIRGO
You could feel a bit stressed, but try and use your sharp mind to persuade others to follow your lead at work, as this could have a huge impact on your future. Your hard work is noticed. Love-wise, he'd better live up to your expectations, as you are quite capable of moving on today.

LIBRA
Romance and passion take up your time and thoughts, but certainly not your routine! At work your creative talents excel and your charm makes it easy for you to make new contacts. You excel at sales and marketing. Holidays and travel are on the cards too.

SCORPIO
Although most of the month sees you full of energy and drive, today you would be happy to sit at home, dreaming of what you really want out of your life. You have the courage - so just do it. Don't forget to collect any money owed to you. You need nurturing love today.

SAGITTARIUS
Love-wise, anything is possible today, so go with the flow. Passion and lust are flowing. You don't have to over-do it though. You are quite capable of running your own life alone, but is this what you really want?

CAPRICORN
For some of you, your love life is getting very serious what with shared accounts and joint ventures. You need to get it 'right' though, otherwise you'll just get stressed. Talk about the implications, rather than simply rushing into it. Be practical.

AQUARIUS
Today is one of the best days of the month for you. You feel like nothing can hold you back, but there could be some unexpected delays causing you to change your plans. Either way, you seem to thrive on the pressure. Sex is invigorating, but real love takes a back seat.

PISCES
You need time alone today to be yourself – somewhere where you can dream and fantasise. Your man might not be living up to your romantic dreams today, but sex should be extremely erotic. A fun social event spices up the weekend.

ARIES
Even though it is the weekend, you seem to be able to accomplish a lot of business errands and work. Inviting friends over today is fun and you could make an interesting and worthwhile business contact. Lovemaking is raunchy, rather than nurturing.

TAURUS
Your career is still of concern. Talk about it with your family and listen to what they have to say before making up your mind. Mars is telling you to organise your financial matters and initiate actions regarding debt and income. You are stronger than you think – or look! Love? Play is vital…

GEMINI
You're should have a great day today. Love-wise, you might be playing the field and having fun as you decide who and what you want out of your relationships. Be creative and imagine what he should be like. Energy follows thought! Financial luck is with you and a foreigner could help you make even more.

16 July 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/16-july-2011 CANCER
Shared finances or a joint business venture could be a source of frustration, causing angst between you and your partner. Sit back and re-assess what work you want to do before making any final decisions. Be aware, he might not show enough warmth in his lovemaking today.

LEO
You are more keen on furthering your ambitions than focusing on love - but when you do, expect the stars to shine! Career-wise, you are restless and want more freedom to show your individuality. Don't be too serious.

VIRGO

Your love life feels revitalised; possibly because he knows you are always there for him - even if you do criticise him quite a bit. Your relationship with your family might not be on great terms due to a lack of comfort. Don't worry, it will pass soon enough.

LIBRA
Your career gets a creative boost from the Aquarian Moon as you find new and innovative solutions that are 'out of the box'. Your love life is buzzing too - he complements your intellectual energy and satisfies your libido.

SCORPIO
Relationships seem a bit fraught, especially if someone thinks you are over-spending or not paying your way. Even old friendships aren't lending their support. You have some new ideas for your home, but make sure to get some input from your family first. Love? All we're saying is: 'Wow!'

SAGITTARIUS
You can't solve everyone's problems, no matter how hard you try. Just be a good listener, while you let people sort out their own lives. He seems to be turning your life upside down - is marriage a possibility? Think about what you want.

CAPRICORN
Logic is great, but not in the bedroom where being calm and intelligent just won't do it for your man. Now is the time to get down and dirty, or at least try some new and exciting ideas. Don't just talk about your fantasies - act them out! Making money comes easy today.

AQUARIUS
You are the ultimate executive today and are able to organise your creative and innovative ideas into worthwhile projects. You have more charm than usual, which is a major plus. Love-wise, romance is in the air - but can you find the time?

PISCES
You need warm fuzzy love. Luckily your man seems to find this a huge turn-on. At work, you might find things a bit frustrating and muddled. You're not sure what you want or even if you want to be there. Just give it a few days.

ARIES
You only want to do the things that are really fun, so get through the boring chores as soon as possible, then get out there and strut your stuff. Networking and making new contacts will take your career up a few notches. Love will bring laughter and tears…

TAURUS

Career-wise, you need to see the bigger picture. You could bore everyone with the finer details when all they want is the broad outline. Perhaps it's best if you don't make important financial decisions today. Make sure you have all the facts and figures in place first. Love is complex.

GEMINI

You sparkle! You are extremely attractive, but are you interested in real love? You enjoy romance, but today the emotion is all a bit too much. Going on a business trip and meeting people from different cultures – now that's interesting!

15 July 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/15-july-2011 CANCER
You are a bit moody. You may feel all the undercurrents and emotions of everyone around you, but do you trust your own emotions? Your sincerity makes this a good day to ask for a bank loan or mortgage. You seem a bit detached love-wise…

LEO
The Sun/Moon opposition is bringing you a bit of inner tension, though later in the day you feel warmer and calmer towards everyone. As you try to get your social life sorted, there could be conflict with your favourite man – don't over-react, rather work together.

VIRGO

If you are too rigid in your thinking you won't achieve. Now is the time to explore different possibilities and find unexpected solutions. Keep your strength for a real crisis and don't sweat the small stuff. You love life is surprisingly different.

LIBRA
Even friendship can be quite an emotionally chilly place if there is no feeling. You will come up with quick innovative answers to problems, but try to show warmth and love too. Let your man give you a massage to bring out your sensuality.

SCORPIO

Try not to be too cool and logical with your family, as a cutting remark would be very hurtful today. There is passion and emotion when it comes to money and earnings, but don't get angry. Make sure you think before you speak. When sex is great, don't worry about petty arguments.

SAGITTARIUS
Mars is working overtime to stop you being lonely today. Self-reliance is one thing, but when love, sex and passion are around, you really flourish! It will help your health too, as your stress levels will decrease - no matter how much work there is to get through.

CAPRICORN
You need to encourage a 'fire' person into your life to bring some fun your way and stop you being so serious. You can still do the 'right' thing, but in a more enjoyable way. Finances look good and you seem to be in the running for promotion or a raise. Sex? Enterprising…

AQUARIUS
You seem more self-involved than worried about others today, but when help is needed you come up with some very logical answers. Even in your love life, the emphasis is more on experiment and trying new positions. Also, try showing some real love and warmth.

PISCES
You think more clearly today – you are not emotional or self-absorbed, but instead you're able to use your creative talents in your work and at home. Your compassion and ability to listen means you can really give help and guidance to anyone in trouble. Love is less emotional and more fun.

ARIES
Your personal planet, Mars, makes you a bit argumentative and ready for a fight, but you'll find it easier to think before you speak, to plan and get yourself organised. Keep it light and you'll have great success. There are no limits to your sexual expression.

TAURUS
Ultra-capable, you just ooze perfection today, but you lack the flamboyance needed to be noticed. You'll have to make extra effort if you want that promotion. An argument over money could be solved today, as you find the solutions to your problems. Love is complex.

GEMINI
Listen to your intuition – your sixth sense is working overtime. You'll then know exactly when to change course and what to say in a very decisive way. You could become a bit angry if someone questions your rather radical views… keep your cool. Try not to be too dependent on your man, even if the sex is amazing.

You might feel invisible today - but you certainly aren't! Your need to make some money means you use your optimism in a very positive way. Love-wise, singles will be noticed, so there may be a chance of a new romance. Erotic love appeals to you...

LEO
You'll succeed better today if you work as a part of the team rather than by yourself – and you'll still be a winner! Your contribution to finding solutions is invaluable, as you thrive on getting things done. Sexual tension is released, though possessiveness is a challenge.

VIRGO
Everyone is attracted to you today… especially a new lover. Friends as well business associates will appreciate your devotion to duty and hard work. After you find the solution to a difficult problem, you clinch a successful business deal. Love is traditional, but satisfying.

LIBRA
It's easy for you to concentrate on whatever it is you are doing today, but be tolerant of those who are not as organised. Your business and home thrive, although there could be some conflict when you try to keep everyone happy. Love is progressive.

SCORPIO
Your home might be your castle, but today you want to spend some time away, travelling both locally and abroad, learning, teaching and making as much money as you can. Your passion means you do everything faster than usual. Love? You need stimulation.

SAGITTARIUS
When it comes to making money, you have it all today: the focus, the charm, the wit and the passion. You appeal to all the right people. Be very serious when dealing with business associates (and even with friends), as frivolity isn't ruling today. You'll find love in only the best circles…

CAPRICORN

You are feminine, but tough today, which is a great combination. You also have charm combined with a passionate intensity, which gives you the edge over everyone else. This doesn't mean there won't be any frustrations, but you will succeed. Love is a bit slow.

AQUARIUS
Your health is of concern to you. Even when there is nothing wrong, you still want to investigate. Do consult a doctor if you're really worried or your work will suffer from tension. Love-wise, romance can easily turn to real, committed love - if this is what you want.

PISCES

What began as a friendship could be rapidly turning into a really close love affair. Those of you in committed relationships will find inspiration tonight. At home there are things to be fixed - not just leaking taps, but family problems too. It is time to talk…

ARIES
Career-wise, you are forceful to the extreme. Luckily, there is an appealing softness about you today, so you get away with it! You might talk about romance, but what you want and enjoy right now is sensual and dramatic lovemaking.

TAURUS
You are apprehensive when you're out of control and the thought of dashing off overseas or meeting up with people from different backgrounds can be scary, so try and travel locally or get involved in your community. Explore making money with your family or from home. Love? He'd better be the best!

GEMINI
Using other people's resources for your benefit certainly arouses your excitement. Success comes when you get in on the action. Be quick and decisive. Love-wise, you are unusually intense and passionate - you might just have to do something to make him feel the same!

You need nurturing today – by your friends, your partner or your mother. You expect your colleagues at work to mother you as well. If you are going to cry, go for it – listen to soul music, or watch a weepy movie. Work-wise, make the most of any opportunities that come your way.

LEO
You know exactly what you want today, and no-one should dare get in your way. Use your strength and energy at work and you’ll have amazing success, though you might not make all the friends you want. Your love life will be equally energetic and daring.

VIRGO
Your slightly restrained, feminine manner is very attractive, even magnetic, though your love life is more traditional than exciting. ‘Duty’ is the key word today, though you should use your flashes of creative genius to liven up your work and your social life.

LIBRA
Ambition rules today, and the more logical, practical and organized you are, the more you’ll be appreciated – and the more money you’ll make. You are patient with everyone, even though you won’t suffer fools today. In love, keep the compliments flowing if you want passionate sex.

SCORPIO
You are very approachable today, and your self-confidence is noticed by your boss which means a promotion or recognition for your work is a possibility. There are other exciting opportunities coming your way too. In the meantime, you’ll accomplish a lot. When it comes to love, you are in charge today.

SAGITTARIUS
Your energy levels are so high it seems you just can’t stop. Avoid completely over-powering everyone around you! Winning is important, but not at the expense of colleagues. Your moodiness today probably won’t harm your love life – you need bold and outspoken.

CAPRICORN

GEMINI

You are diplomatic today, but is there any warmth under that friendly exterior? If you are too ambitious, especially for money, you could turn away the very people you need to help you achieve.

AQUARIUS
You are at your best today when networking, giving talks or socializing for work, preferably with men rather than women. However, in your love life, your man might find you a bit intimidating. Sex is no problem – here your energy comes out on top.

PISCES
You feel stronger and sexier than usual, lighting up your man’s life in a very open way. Fabulous sex is the result as you drop most of your inhibitions. The only problem could be of excess in everything you do, and your creative talents at work might be a bit OTT.

ARIES
Instead of overreacting or working too hard, listen to your intuition as it will tell you when to slow down, when to be calm, and when to express your feelings. It is all about control rather than having so many ideas that you don’t finish any of them. There are no rules in your love life today.

TAURUS
Sexy Ms Taurus, nothing is enough for you today. You want everything, and you want it now as passion and intensity rule your whole life, especially your love life - which, of course, is equally insatiable. When it comes to finances, communication is key.

GEMINI
Control is necessary in many areas of your life today, especially making your wilder money- making plans more practical. Money is, as usual for Gemini, a very important issue and you are still in your financial peak, so they should work well. Love is totally addictive.

11 July 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/11-july-2011 CANCER
Are your moods on a slow boil? If you feel them building up, action is needed - use your exciting money-making ideas in a practical way to feel fulfilled and in control of your life. Better still, indulge in lively wild sex.

LEO
Ambition rules today – if not for you then for the man in your life who is eager to get in on the action. Being too forceful won’t win you any friends, so show warmth and be ready to adapt. Luxury and glamour are your keywords, including in your love life.

VIRGO
Your enthusiasm and optimism are certainly part of the success at work today. If it was a joint effort with colleagues rather than on your own, don’t forget to give credit where it’s due. You and your man might see life differently, but if it’s the real thing, it’ll be mind blowing!

LIBRA
When you boost his self-confidence, you make him feel like he’s the best. In this frame of mind, he will be strong enough to satisfy even your naughtiest of suggestions. Have fun! The same goes for work – when you compliment your colleagues and even your boss, your career will go up quite a few notches.

SCORPIO
Try to get your act together and use your charisma to take everyone at work forward with you. Your finances are boosted, especially if applying for a loan for yourself or for your business. You and your man on a desert island appeals – but this is the real world, so use your imagination.

SAGITTARIUS
Today is all about using your intuition – use it to stop you going too far, at the expense of colleagues. Don’t fall into despair because you think you don’t have it all. You can, and more - but slow down a bit. Invite friends round, socialize and have fun. Let your lover revitalize you as only he can.

CAPRICORN

Love-wise, you are in a power situation – but do you believe it? You want to be home alone with him, with no interruptions. If he is on your intellectual level (Neanderthals can stay away today) then you’ll quickly switch on the passion.

AQUARIUS
Give advice and help when needed at work. You want to be noticed, but for your talent, intelligence and abilities - not your power to criticize. It is a day for friends, socializing and adventure, even in the bedroom where love-making is experimental and energetic.

PISCES

Your creative talents work well at the office, but don’t fret if there is some confusion and not everyone understands your concepts. You’ll just have to be more methodical and focussed rather than scattering your energy in all directions. Love is creative but slightly restrained.

ARIES
Talk about excess – everything you do is slightly over the top today. Bring in a more spiritual approach to your work as well as your home life and everyone will appreciate what you are doing. There are no barriers in your love life; you do exactly what pleases you.

TAURUS
Talking, chatting and gossiping are fine as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone. Be honest and fair. You need to mix with the right people today to give your career as well as your social aspirations a boost. Use your imagination to find ways of making more money. Love is a fixation.

GEMINI
Are you ever quiet and relaxed? If your lover doesn’t provide the spirit of adventure you want, then you’ll be off. With luck, though, he’ll soften those hard edges and your love life will be a winning, sexy twosome. Your finances should be getting better and better as you are brimming with new ideas.

10 July 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/10-july-2011 CANCER
Today is great financially and in all ways with love and romance being the key issues. Are you absolutely faithful, or are you still looking for that perfect man? And, does he exist? Your magnetic personality attracts people to you; be gentle but ruthless about who you let into your space.

LEO
In a quieter mood than usual, your home and family provide the comfort you need. Dinner with friends is more appealing than clubbing with friends. At work your logical and practical solutions to problems bring rapid progress. His encouragement takes your career up a few notches.

VIRGO
You want success and to prove your worth, but you could be in a rut. What can you do bring back the enthusiasm? Don’t let criticism get you down. Instead, meet up with friends, embark on an adventure and have a laugh. Think of ways to bring back the magic into your love life.

LIBRA
This is a great time for your career and finances – just keep being practical. Your social life is fun, and you are happy with your girl friends if there is no man around. You are enthusiastic about most things, especially encouraging change. Love is unusually challenging.

SCORPIO
You feel you need a partner to rely on, but in reality you have huge inner strength to call on when needed. You are lucky in that you emanate sex with no trouble at all. Experiment to reach the ultimate orgasm.

SAGITTARIUS
You might need to cool down your sexy clothes today as your friendliness could be taken the wrong way - especially as you are even more charming than usual, with intensity and passion adding spice to the mix. Mars is encouraging love with erotic overtones.

CAPRICORN
Getting on with everyone and showing love and affection are key today, especially when talking to colleagues and business associates. But you also need to be practical, organized and focussed on what you are doing, especially when discussing financial issues. Arguments bring passion to a head.

AQUARIUS
Your career and work are still your main concern, but your communication skills show more warmth than usual and really help you get it together. Love and romance are in the air, but do you want to give up your freedom? Together you’ll be dynamic.

PISCES
Helping the underprivileged has huge appeal today, and your instinct to do what is right could take over from being practical and finishing what you are paid to do. Is there balance? Love could mean a move to another country – don’t make hasty decisions.

ARIES
With passions running so deep today you could easily lose your temper, shouting and performing in a very dramatic way. All you need is an audience. Try to be rational and unemotional in your arguments, and keep all this passion for your sex life.

TAURUS
Your home living space is one area where you excel as you love to entertain in your beautifully decorated home. Don’t let this intimidate a potential new man who might not live up to your standards. The passion in real love never fades.

GEMINI
This is still a mega month financially, but other areas could cause stress. Do you feel that life is unfair? You’re not alone. It’s fine trying to run your life in a no-nonsense way, but you need to add some feeling too. Make love lavish.

You are in a determined mood, knowing exactly what you want and going all out to get it. Luckily, your sense of humour lightens any intensity and you let your usual generosity and friendliness rule. Sex-wise, you are in the mood to experiment – is he?

CAPRICORN
You’re one tough Cookie today, but underneath it is all about compassion. Everyone at work benefits from your ability to be rational and logical, especially when you express yourself in a nurturing and affectionate way. Love is obsessive.

AQUARIUS
Intensity rules today, but at least you’ll be noticed by those who matter. Your dynamic and positive way of dealing with everything assures success, so you don’t need to act like a princess. There is a definite wow-factor to your love life.

PISCES

Your sense of the ridiculous and being able to see the humorous side to everything brightens your day. Everyone notices your appearance and just how friendly and generous you are, and your creative talents are appreciated too. In love, expect some emotional highs and lows.

ARIES
Full of energy and drive, your faith in your abilities attracts great luck and an unexpected windfall could come your way. Don’t expect others to be pleased – they probably think you have enough already! Your man will provide the erotic sex, and it’s addictive!

TAURUS
You don’t show it, but you have an inner strength which helps you through most situations. Your musical and other creative talents are emphasized, and your intuition shines. Your love relationship takes centre stage, though, and togetherness is the key so avoid obsessive jealousy.

GEMINI
You feel you have power over others today which could be a strength but also a weakness if you start bullying the less influential. You are also a bit unpredictable today – calm on the outside, but then bursting into anger. Your sexual fantasies are fulfilled.

8 July 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/8-july-2011 CANCER
Rather than staying at home nursing your emotional wounds, it’s time to discover your talents and try new things whether it’s study or travel. It might be scary at first, but incredible opportunities will come. Mars is bringing you the courage, so use it. Love thrives, and it’s all about romance.

LEO
Jupiter suggests you have healing talents you didn’t know about. Study and learn – it could be the start of a new career as well as helping those less fortunate than yourself. There could well be some business-related entertaining where your ability to chat goes down well. In love, you are in charge tonight.

VIRGO
Sharing the same values as your friends and business associates is important, but you might have to bite your tongue as you try to be tolerant. The opportunity to travel or study could be presented to you – use your intuition. Are you jealous of a friend’s love life? Don’t be.

LIBRA
You know how to make everyone like and appreciate you and this is important today if you want your career to move up a few notches. Your sex life is complicated, but if there is real affection, healing and understanding follow – with some very erotic love making thrown in.

SCORPIO
Your self-confidence could be jolted when you discover that some people can’t be trusted. It’s no good running away; you’ll have to talk it through. Take this opportunity to recover from a lost love or argument with your man. Are you too sensitive to his needs?

SAGITTARIUS
Passion rules in your love-life, but it might get a bit too heavy. You need to get away or travel with friends. It’s easy to heal any misunderstandings with your family or in your home life. A business partnership should be thriving now and bringing in the money.

CAPRICORN
You can have it all at the moment – a thriving career, a happy home and an exciting love-life, so don’t let anyone try to put you down or make you feel insecure. Use your creative talents to make money, and let your special man boost your self-assurance in his special way.

AQUARIUS
You need the stimulation of both intellectual as well as physical energy – is your man fulfilling these needs? If not, immerse yourself in your daily routine and work. Your love life will be better tomorrow. Take the time to write your journal, or do some creative writing.

PISCES

Neptune could be making you a bit challenged today when it comes to reality, so don’t believe everything you hear. This is especially true if trying to turn a friend into a lover. How long with the passion last? There is conflict between your instinctive response and what you know is right.

ARIES

Don’t be afraid of your emotions and of being hurt – it will happen at some stage of your life. Learn, and move on. Your home and family will give you the love and support you need. Keep power and control for your other goals as great opportunities are coming your way.

LEO
Entertain your friends at home or meet up with them for drinks or supper. It’s time to socialize and attend meetings, but don’t just chat on a superficial level – really get to know everyone. A misunderstanding over money could become heated. Be persistent, but charming and peaceable.

VIRGO
You are in social mode, but only with people who stimulate you otherwise you’ll be totally bored. Your man should also know how to excite you – does he? Finances look stable, which is a huge relief in these difficult times.

LIBRA
You know exactly how to impress everyone around you and how to make them like you. When you use these qualities at work, your career can only move upwards. Networking today will bring a huge boost. Use your judgment over joint finances – you can’t go wrong today. Experimental sex rules.

CAPRICORN

You are in sociable mood, but today your career comes first and you are ready to fight. Instead of getting irritable or being touchy, explain what you are doing. When you have the right balance, you feel in control, and peace and harmony reign. Your special man will help lighten your mood.

AQUARIUS
Love-wise, your man had better be careful as you are ready to drop him if he doesn’t meet your needs. Emotions are confusing, so you prefer to ignore them today. Try to think about his problems rather than just your own. Work gets better as you learn new skills.

PISCES
Sensuality rules today as romance appeals to the emotions rather than the intellect. It is all about self-indulgence. Your intuition is not that clear today and you could easily make a serious error of judgment at work, either over money or in your love life.

6 July 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/6-july-2011 CANCER
If you’re feeling a bit stressed or nervous, swimming or water exercises could help, as will fun, no-holds-barred sex. Work-wise, you can accomplish a lot as long as you stay focussed in a practical way.

LEO
Even if you’re feeling more shy than usual, use your innate charm and good taste to win people over, especially if this means you’ll make more money both for yourself and for your business. Your love life is no-one else’s business, so keep it a secret if you want. Hide any jealousy.

VIRGO
Your intellect takes over from romance, and there’s not that much passion in bed. The way you encourage everyone to get on together ensures your place as leader in the groups you belong to. Rather than being too conventional, feel free to push the limits.

LIBRA
You feel especially independent and self-sufficient today, wanting to do and say just as you please. Just don’t get upset if others get angry – they are used to you being more co-operative. Your career aspirations get a boost though. Love is tender rather than passionate.

SCORPIO
Tense? A massage or other relaxing techniques will help ease your mood. Sadly, you can’t expect everyone to have the same high standards, so don’t get stressed. You and your man are on the same wave length, working for common financial goals – sexually, things are smouldering.

SAGITTARIUS
You might still be in practical mode, but this doesn’t stop the romance. Sharing a vision for the future is a total turn-on for you. Everyone is won over by your charm, and this helps take your work and career up a few notches.

CAPRICORN
You may want others to take the lead today as you get on with your tasks in a very organized and practical way. You’ll be happy to indulge in cultural events, especially if this means you pick up information and learn new skills. Love is passionate, but lacking in soul.

AQUARIUS

At work you convince everyone to agree with you by using charm combined with your unique ideas. Keep your passion and emotion under wraps, but don’t expect everyone to agree with you. Love, passion and amazing sex can be expected tonight.

PISCES
Love is the key, but just how far will you go to keep your man, and is he really worth it? You are an amazing and enchanting woman, but you might need to strengthen that backbone of yours and stand up for yourself. Don’t let him put you down verbally. When sex is good, it’s is out of this world!

ARIES
Your mind is more analytical than usual, and you seem to know that success really comes through the finer detail. Just don’t criticize those who don’t come up to your standards – you need everyone on your side. You don’t understand him, but does it really matter?

TAURUS
Is there anyone more stubborn than you today? You have power, you give and earn respect and your creative talents are outstanding. But where are the fun and the laugher? Experimenting with your man will lighten your mood.

GEMINI
A bit of an unsettled day – you have many ideas, and start different projects but drop them just as quickly. The same goes for your attitude towards the men in your life whom you pick up and drop without thought. If you keep a man long enough, sex will be wonderfully tempestuous.

VIRGO
With the Moon in your own sign today you are more intense and emotional than usual, especially if you are overly critical of everything you do. Remember, nobody is perfect. In bed you can find that blissful love – but only if you stop talking.

LIBRA
You probably don’t realise just how powerful you are, but today is the time to accomplish everything you want in a quiet, controlled way, and preferably on your own. Mentally, you can push the limits. Your love life is sweet and tender today.

SCORPIO
You have the highest standards at work and in your private life, though passion can take over in a self-destructive way. Control is needed when talking to business associates and friends or you’ll end up antagonizing them, even if you are right! In love, is he strong enough?

SAGITTARIUS
Your love life seems stressful with a bit too much intensity and passion, and not enough laughs and freedom. It might work better as a business partnership as you continue to search for that perfect mate. Your work is successful, though and your positive, optimistic approach really pays off.

CAPRICORN
If offered the chance to learn new skills, take it! This can only help you up the corporate ladder and with a far healthier bank account too. Promotions and new job offers could come your way too. Love lacks warmth, despite the action.

AQUARIUS
Creativity rules at work, and with just the right amount of practical application you are on a winning streak which means your status at work increases. Your self-confidence in matters to do with your home and family helps everyone prosper. Love is about intense passion, but does he feel the same?

TAURUS
You’re powerful, passionate and creative, and your sexual appetite is easily fulfilled today. Harness this same power at work and even you’ll be surprised at how much you’ll achieve. You’ll need all your diplomatic talents though to keep everyone happy.

GEMINI
Anything to do with property is given a boost today, especially if you are trying to obtain a mortgage. Negotiations and contracts go in your favour as long as you aren’t too pushy. You know what you want, so go for it but use diplomacy. Are you in the mood for love today?

There is absolutely no doubt you are attracting attention today and during the entire month of July as you are more charming, attractive and co-operative than ever. You’ll make a huge difference in everything you do, and to everyone you come into contact with. You even teach him a few tricks.

LEO

This is a great month for catching up with yourself, whether it’s starting a diet, having a makeover or getting your body into shape. Your love life could be more fantasy than reality too – otherwise, why are trying to keep it secret? Think carefully if you have to make a difficult decision.

SAGITTARIUS
This whole month is about taking your power, and having common goals and values - particularly with the man in your life, but also at work and with friends. If you need a bank loan, it will probably be approved – just have all the facts and figures ready. Love is volcanic.

CAPRICORN
The movement of Venus into Cancer emphasises all your relationships. The more you co-operate and show how much you care, the better as this will make you feel more secure and confident. Be sensitive when talking to your man – being fickle is a turn-off rather than a turn-on.

AQUARIUS
As usual, you come with some quite unusual ideas, and this month it will be much easier for you to put them across as Venus is bringing harmony and understanding to your colleagues. This is a good month to try out a new hair style, have a makeover. Love is unpredictably energetic.

PISCES
Socially, this is your month and it brings romance to singles too, so don’t miss out on any exciting invitations. Your imagination is soaring which can only help your career aspirations – though do keep them within the realms of possibility. In love, adoration rules.

ARIES
This whole month will be about keeping your family and friends happy without forgetting your favourite man. Singles, be careful as you could fall for the first hot guy you meet – but he might not be who he says he is. Fantasy is fine, but don’t forget a reality check.

You are full of ideas for expressing your unique individuality, but you feel overwhelmed by your family, domestic commitments and your man all wanting to take over your life. Tell everyone what you feel, and stick to what you want to do. In love matters, remember, he’s your lover, not your father.

LEO
Take it easy after the eclipse yesterday. Although you want to be private at the moment, you are being pushed into the limelight. Look your best as everyone is noticing you whether you like it or not. Luckily everyone seems impressed. In love, is there a decision to be made?

VIRGO
More nurturing than usual, you are at your best when dealing with difficult situations. You come up with some interesting ways to develop your talents and skills, but they may be too innovative for people to understand. Luckily, your man is stimulated by your ideas.

LIBRA
Socialize now as you could meet someone interesting, maybe a spiritual guru but more likely a new man will enter your life that is inspiring, loving and fun. At work, let everyone know what makes you happy and productive. You might have to make a difficult decision about your career.

SCORPIO

Talk about a fest of ideas at work – there is so much going on that it’s hard to concentrate on one thing at a time. You need to be totally yourself, and to follow your ideas. This could cause some opposition, so be tactful. Love is all about satisfying your sexual hunger.

Love and romance are today’s challenges. You are in experimental mood – let’s hope he is too! It’ll take more than chocolate and flowers to satisfy you today. At work you find it hard to keep control over everything you are doing due to delays and problems outside of your control. Relax - it’ll be fine.

PISCES
Today is still about the detail and the planning so keep as organized as you can. If you let it get out of control, your health will be affected. Even if you prefer alternative cures, it’ best to get serious ailments checked out by a professional first. Even unrestrained romance needs a break sometimes.

ARIES
This is a wonderful time for a holiday or weekend break away with your romantic partner as this will help you get over any problems or obstacles standing in the way of domestic bliss. You’ll still have to face them on your return, however.

TAURUS
Property negotiations will work out well for you now, but include your family or partner from the beginning in order to avoid arguments later. There could be a few misunderstandings at work, so make sure you have all the facts and figures and know exactly what to say. His power is a huge turn-on.

GEMINI
Laughter really is the best medicine as it makes everyone around you happy and relaxed,

There is very good news about your work as Mercury and the Moon move into Leo, but do ensure your business life is organized and planned as your work assignments could be increasing. If you get stressed and confused, your health will suffer. Romance is on the agenda.

ARIES
Your persistence in receiving the right money for your hard work pays off in a positive way. Take time out for entertainment projects – the more fun you make your life, the easier it is to handle your workload. Romance rules, but don’t expect a new relationship to last; just enjoy it for now.

TAURUS

Your family and home take on greater importance, and there are family discussions, property transactions, household repairs and renovations on the go. While all this happens, you’re still trying to keep your job moving forward. Remember, balance is needed. In love, let him energize you.

GEMINI
Your personal planet moves into Leo, pulling your energy in many directions as you dash to meetings, get involved in community projects, see friends and learn new skills. Tired? Make sure you get enough sleep. Love-wise, things are great.

1 July 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/1-july-2011 CANCER
The ‘biggie’ today is the Eclipse of the Sun in your own sign emphasizing energy and enthusiasm for achieving your ambitions, while Saturn suggests you feel responsible for everyone around you. Start a diet, an exercise regime or have a make-over. You need a cozy but sexual love connection.

LEO
Love-wise, the eclipse suggests you need a spiritual connection as well as a sexual one with your man, and to spend time alone to relieve any tension. Great achievements are possible, but remember to think before you speak at work, especially when talking to business associates.

VIRGO
If you are thinking of joining a sports club or business association now is the time. Your social life is active as well, all due to the solar eclipse. Prioritize and set goals – you can achieve your dreams more easily now. Sex-wise, are you ever satisfied? Luckily, sex gets better all the time.

LIBRA
The solar eclipse emphasizes your career ambitions, and it’s important you keep your reputation good as you’ll be noticed by those who matter. Look and dress the part. There could be a change of management where you work, while laughter and fun make your love life special.

SCORPIO
Your need to widen your horizons becomes even stronger, and you need to know everything, meet new people and study new philosophies. Travel becomes more of a necessity, and sex-wise, it’s erotic (to put it mildly).

SAGITTARIUS
You are full of confidence, so now is the time to re-evaluate your investments and make any necessary changes. There could be matters of an inheritance or joint finances which need to be sorted. Love-wise, you are less predictable than usual – exciting!

CAPRICORN

The solar eclipse suggests that singles could meet someone today. It might not be the special person you really want, but you might be in for a surprise. Love will certainly be more important this whole year due to the solar eclipse today. Build relationships slowly.

AQUARIUS
Your social life and your sex life both seem a bit too frenzied and wild. It’s time to cool it at bit. The solar eclipse puts the emphasis on your personal habits, and it’s time to quit smoking, go on a healthy diet or give your wardrobe a make-over. You’ll look and feel fantastic.

PISCES
The solar eclipse puts the emphasis on your creative talents, so have some fun with them - take art or music lessons, enroll at the local dance studio, or find ways to make work more interesting. Laugh and socialize more, and let love be messy and uninhibited.

ARIES
As the Solar eclipse emphasizes your home and family, you could be more involved in décor, renovations or moving home. Your parents could have changes happening in their lives. There will still be excitement in your love life, but now with added emotion. It’s a formula that works.

TAURUS

Nurturing love is needed after the solar eclipse, but it’s vital that he is on the same wave-length, and that he is a friend as well as lover. Siblings take on a greater role in your life as well as involvement in local community affairs, and your caring nature is greatly appreciated.

GEMINI
The eclipse puts the emphasis on your finances and possessions, and you may find your income changing. You want to purchase new items and your focus is on increasing assets. Now is the time to polish your skills to make you even more marketable. In love, you could be moody and brooding all year.

30 June 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/30-june-2011 CANCER
You probably need to spend time on your own and think about what you really want especially if you lack emotional satisfaction in your work or your private life or are scared of taking a new path. Spiritual guidance could help. You need cosy nurturing and an early night.

LEO
Friendships could be the issue at the moment - especially if you’ve been trying to do too many activities and your schedule is over-loaded. Decide on what you really want, who you want to be with and who is on your wave-length. In love, you need to be more tender and caring.

VIRGO
You want everyone to notice you, but at the same time, you don’t want anyone to pry into your affairs. This is quite difficult to balance! Be honest with yourself as well as with others. You are a good friend to your man – but you need him to be a real friend to you too.

LIBRA
The more tolerant you are of your man and the more willing you are to laugh at yourself, the easier and more fun your relationship will be. Your enthusiasm for life is taking you in many different directions - perhaps you need to slow down a little and consider what you really want to do…

SCORPIO
At home, watch out for conflict between you and your man – but don't worry, it won’t hurt your sex life. You could be denied a loan at the moment, or at least asked if it is really necessary. It is time to re-assess your finances - and pay off debts before you embark on a new path.

SAGITTARIUS
There may be new job offers and opportunities, but your spirituality could easily be holding you back. Don’t make any quick decisions. Love? Unpredictable!

CAPRICORN
Many of you have found a perfect partnership, but it could seem a little too easy. Health-wise, don’t go overboard with exercise and stringent diets - check with your doctor first. Always start slowly and take expert advice. Try to rest a bit – this way, you can try and avoid stress headaches and other illnesses.

AQUARIUS
You are so energetic and enthusiastic that you might overdo it. Take time out for some fun and let your creative juices flow. Just remember, there are tough and unpleasant consequences if you over-indulge. Binge drinking is a no-no! Love looks serious, but is it? Re-think it if you aren’t sure.

PISCES
Property negotiations might need to be re-assessed. If you are not absolutely sure about what you are doing then don’t go ahead, whether you're buying, selling, renting or just decorating. Your creative juices are flowing - so think up a new scheme with your man – it'll probably be very successful.

ARIES
Danger thrills at the moment - but this kind of excitement can make you a victim, so be very careful. You need a more meaningful relationship. Before the eclipse tomorrow, take time out with family or at home to rest and re-energise. Travel is highlighted, but be sure to avoid accidents.

TAURUS
You need to be involved in your local neighbourhood activities, such as community meetings and local social events. This is a good time to buy a car or a computer, as long as you don’t rush into it. Investigate and research carefully first or you could throw away your hard-earned cash. Fantasy rules your sex life.

GEMINI
He has great appeal now - but is he a bit too emotional and needy for you? You should be making financial progress now, but impatience will hinder you, rather than help the situation. Is it time to re-think your strategy? Be very careful in the kitchen with sharp and hot implements.

29 June 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/29-june-2011 CANCER
You are under pressure to discuss your ideas at work, but if you can do so without too much emotion you’ll find everyone eager to listen. Use diplomacy and tact when dealing with colleagues and friends – and you’ll make the breakthrough you want. Let your man lighten your mood…

LEO
You have so many ideas for social events, parties and meeting up with friends that they might urge you to slow down a little and give them time to think. Even at work you seem a bit OTT - but this won’t stop your love of life. There might not be much domesticity today - but a lot of fun!

VIRGO

Career-wise, your colleagues and business associates need your input. Luckily you are eager to tell everyone your ideas and what you think should be done next - you want success and are ready to put in the hard work. Love-wise, you might be doing all the compromising, but the sex is great.

LIBRA
A business trip or meeting with overseas clients means your communication skills will be used to your best advantage both at work and socially too. This is easy for you, as you light up every room when you walk through the door. You can expect your sex life to be free and easy.

SCORPIO
With Pluto opposing the Sun you could be engulfed in sexual tension and jealousy - and probably for no reason at all. Do watch your body language and try to lighten up. There are financial issues to be dealt with, which could have something to do with an inheritance. Love? You’ll be happiest alone with him…

SAGITTARIUS
Love and relationships loom large at the moment - much of it to do with who has the power, who earns the money and who is in control. If you are both opinionated, neither of you will listen - so calm down and give each other time to talk. You can easily work it out.

CAPRICORN
If you’ve been neglecting your work because of a relationship issue, now is the time to get back on track. Arrange meetings, talk about ideas, listen to what others have to say and you’ll achieve everything that has to be done. In bed it’s your turn to be demanding.

AQUARIUS
Relationships, love, having fun and being generous with your man should be the focus today - but this doesn’t mean you can neglect your work! If you can bring some of that joie de vivre into your working life, it will be a breeze.

PISCES
In this month of social happenings, today is all about entertaining at home with friends and family - or for taking a well-earned rest either alone or with your man. In love matters, if you don’t expect too much you’ll be ecstatic with the results.

ARIES
Your home and family are the focus all month, but tonight you need to get out and socialise. Meetings go well at work - you know exactly what to say. It is important that you don’t show any cravings for power though. Love? Yes!

TAURUS
Talking about money matters is your priority today – but you could be a bit too focused. Keep it in perspective no matter what emotional pressure you feel. You could find your present relationship favour a business partnership too.

GEMINI
You know exactly what you want and you know how to get it - using charm and just a bit of manipulation. But, will this last? Do you really want committed love today? You could be in butterfly mode, ready to move on. Keep love making light and frothy!

28 June 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/28-june-2011 CANCER
What an emotional day – you could feel totally overwhelmed by everyone around you as you pick up all their feelings. Think quickly and decisively, and get out before you sink! You need nourishing friends rather than draining ones. You always help your man, but does he reciprocate?

LEO
You probably aren’t aware of your own power and influence – or your iron will. Watch your body language, especially if there is any jealousy regarding your man. The more space you give him, the quicker he’ll return.

VIRGO

Love-wise, you look for answers everywhere, but your intuition is very sharp today and will tell you just what you need to know. Sex is moody and tempestuous. At work you need your mind to be kept stimulated, so do some research and investigate all possibilities.

LIBRA
As long as you and your man share a common vision you’ll move along in an easy give-and- take way, with no drama or fuss. You’ll need all the diplomacy you can muster during business meetings if there is disagreement over your ideas.

SCORPIO
The intensity in your love life could be more than even you can bear which might be really hard for your man today as it feels more like a competition than a love affair. Can’t you relax and trust a bit more? It might be a good idea to get away, either alone or together.

SAGITTARIUS
Can’t keep your hands off each other? Your love life is very touchy-feely. It could be a bit one-sided, though - especially if you are doing all the giving and him, all the taking. Think about it; you deserve more. Don’t ignore money issues – they have to be faced and dealt with.

CAPRICORN
In love matters, your strong biological drives may be a bit too much for your man today, who may want more freedom. No problem - your health will benefit from a bit of space, too. Keep to your routine at work, and deal with the boring paper work as well as the more exciting stuff…

AQUARIUS
There is empathy and understanding as well as very generous love – and, if emotion is lacking, who cares? You thrive quite well without that added complication, so just enjoy the romance. Watch your body language at work as this says a lot about your motivation.

PISCES
Inviting friends home for dinner will add some sophistication. You want to be seen as your own person. Hopefully, your man will add the dash of romance you need. Money-wise, you have some unusual ideas and are feeling quite focussed – for now.

ARIES
It's party time at home, either with friends or alone with your man. You want to laugh, dance, chat and have no inhibitions in bed. At work, meetings go well – you can talk anyone and everyone into following your lead.

TAURUS
Finance and money are the big issues today, but the more you discuss and plan, the better you’ll get along. You need more than enough to make you feel independent; you need independence of spirit which is far harder to achieve. Love is rough and tough.

GEMINI
If you stop talking long enough, you’ll find some innovative answers to your questions. You need mental stimulation, but it’s exhausting for everyone around you. You might find it hard to make a real commitment – is he the lucky one?

27 June 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/27-june-2011 CANCER
Painful memories can be laid to rest now, maybe through a spiritual teacher or by talking to someone from a different culture or country. There are opportunities for travel or further study, and you’ll be faced with challenging ideas. Emotions are highly charged – you’ll need a box of tissues!

LEO
A business associate could suggest a way of transforming your finances. Listen, consider and take further advice before making a decision, especially if these ideas are quite radical or mean a move away or further study. Colleagues offer the emotional support which could be lacking in your love life.

VIRGO
The potential is there for success, personal growth and spiritual awareness which, in turn, helps you to find comfort and healing. Love overcomes every obstacle, and investments are looking good too. Ask business associates for advice.

LIBRA
You’ll have to work hard to understand your man’s unconventional behaviour, but make the effort. You are able to move on from past financial problems and work on your present talents to bring in the money you need. Intensity brings passion to your love life.

SCORPIO
Let love and romance soothe any pain from past relationships with, and tell him how you feel. You still need some freedom to express yourself and be your own woman, so don’t let him smother you.

SAGITTARIUS

AQUARIUS
You are full of ideas on how to expand your technical knowledge and find solutions to problems – just be careful you don’t lose all your data in the process. At home, you are able to let go of past financial problems and ready to start again. Your man will listen.

PISCES
Try not to talk too much, just give him the attention he needs and let sexual passion rule. There is a lot going on in your community which needs your input, and you have some quite radical ideas which surprise everyone. An argument between you and a sibling can be easily sorted.

ARIES
You are not going to be thwarted today; you know what you want and how to enforce change. Your leadership qualities are dynamic, but will you be liked? Don’t try to impress anyone by buying luxury items – it will backfire. Love is demanding.

TAURUS
A new colleague or business associate could enter your life, helping you develop your talents even further and achieve all your personal goals. Good communication is key – don’t dismiss new ideas, but rather listen and learn. If boredom is creeping into your love life, you’ll have to be proactive.

GEMINI
Helping others now, especially at work, will heal your emotions. This, in turn, will bring great improvement to your chances of promotion as you gain inner strength and power. Your sex life is enjoyable, but probably not your main focus today.

AQUARIUS
You could hear news about a member of your family, or a relative could suddenly turn up. There is good news about your home, too, especially if you are moving or renovating. Your creative ideas might not be appreciated by everyone. You need him to listen to you today.

PISCES

If he wants your constant pampering, he needs to tell you just how much he loves and appreciates you. At work, the more you develop your computer skills and keep in touch with business contacts, the better you’ll succeed. A short trip is successful.

ARIES
Can you really afford to spend as much as you’d like? Luck is with you today, but unnecessary extravagance can damage your bank account and your reputation too. At work, your dynamic leadership qualities help you to find solutions.

ARIES

SAGITTARIUS
This month is all about money, status and inheritances. There are debts to be paid, but by developing your skills you become financially independent. At home you need to be very sensitive, so use your intuition. Fitness seems more important than a satisfying sex life.

You are ready to go along with whatever your man suggests – just remember it is your body. Your influence over others is highlighted now, and you need a relationship that supports rather than impedes your progress. Be compassionate and helpful towards neighbours and members of your community.

20 June 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/20-june-2011 GEMINI
You find that your career and social standing give you a feeling of security, so keep in touch with those who matter if you want your achievements to be recognised and acknowledged. Love-wise, he admires you, but he could be surprisingly demanding tonight.

CANCER
You know instinctively what's going to happen, but it's still necessary to plan. You are in the mood for adventure, travel, and meeting new, interesting people – especially if you feel your present group of friends or colleagues don’t give you the support you want. Are relationships about love or escape?

LEO
At work you’ll know the latest trends in whatever you're doing so that you keep one step ahead of the game. This doesn’t mean you have to act immediately – just that you know what is going on so that you can time your strategy to perfection. Love-wise, you dictate the pace.

VIRGO
Are you being just a tad over-adaptive and letting others dictate what should be done? Career-wise, you are in a strong period and fulfilling your ambitions. Let your creative talents show you the way. Love-wise, don’t talk – just go with it.

LIBRA
You might find life a bit heavy if he is trying to control you and, with adventure and freedom calling, he might very well regret it. The trouble is that the sex is just too good. Your career will become more important soon so take a holiday now if you can.

SCORPIO
Love, romance and intense passion rule today, and you probably won’t want to get out of bed. At work there are more serious issues to deal with, finances being uppermost. You’ll probably be able to talk yourself in or out of any situation, but keep your integrity intact.

SAGITTARIUS
Togetherness is fine, but Sags really do need their space so take time out, go to the gym, for a run or whatever soothes your busy mind. Love-wise, you feel that this is the real thing, and the stars seem to agree. At work a financial problem needs your input.

CAPRICORN
Communication is the key to sorting out problems at work, but you have to try to be rational and objective. Stress over a problem will make you feel quite unwell, so sort it out sooner rather than later. Love-wise, you need him to be your best friend.

AQUARIUS
The more creative and imaginative you are, the more money you’ll make both for yourself and for your company. Your man, if he is right for you, will inspire you in all areas of your life. In bed, of course, it will be an erotic fix.

PISCES
You seem a bit indecisive today, especially over matters to do with your home and family. Try not to sign anything or even give advice for the next couple of days. Love-wise, let your partner take the lead if you want your libido satisfied.

ARIES
It is no use trying to hide a secret love affair or anything else today as gossip will soon surround you and what people don’t know, they’ll make up! You can be very persuasive at work, but you need to be sensitive to what is going on. In love, he brings out your maternal side.

TAURUS
He seems ready to commit, but are you? Or do you still need to meet other people and explore other options? Your goals and ambitions are fluctuating today, so this is perhaps not the best day to make a decision. To fix that buzzing libido, you need a sexual work-out.

21 June 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/21-june-2011 GEMINI
As Mars moves into your own sign, the next few months sees you full of inspiration, busy and energetic – perhaps even a bit more aggressive. You’ll have to ensure that you don’t lose your temper or overreact as this could end in an accident or a nasty headache. Love is solid, but not very sexual today.

CANCER
A past action (good or bad) will start to impact on you today. You could become more interested in helping the less fortunate as charity work is well starred, and your sensitivity and compassion increase. You need extra sleep at the moment, and loving sex will help ease stress.

LEO
Over the next few months you’ll become more involved in business associations, sports and social clubs. Don’t take on more activities than you can manage or it’ll end in burn-out. It's time to go after what makes you happy and fulfilled. Today, love is unrestrained.

VIRGO
Mars moving into Gemini is all about self-promotion. Do what’s necessary to put you in the eye of those with influence and power, and be prepared to do a lot more work. Losing your temper or patience is not a good idea. Laziness could hamper love today.

LIBRA

Your enthusiasm for life will be scattered in many directions now that Mars has moved into Gemini, and it’ll be hard to know what to do. Broaden your horizons through travel, further education, cultural pursuits and spiritual practice. Your man has his own ideas today.

SCORPIO
You become even more intense now that Mars has entered Gemini, and you investigate everything in detail. You’ll spend more time sorting out your finances, especially joint income or property, and become far more resourceful too. Love-wise, is destiny calling?

SAGITTARIUS

Your enthusiasm and energy over these next few months will be directed towards your partner, whether in love or business. You become more co-operative to everyone and will achieve more with others than by yourself. You could become aggressive if thwarted. Love is reassuring.

CAPRICORN
Mars is moving into Gemini energizing your work and making you more competitive, but also likely to take rash action so make sure you think carefully first. This is a good time for medical and dental check-ups. Fever and accidents could happen so take care. In love you need mutual respect and loyalty.

AQUARIUS

The movement of Mars into Gemini encourages you to become more enthusiastic, creative and inspired, and social events, entertainment and friends will all be on your agenda. Your romantic life will be indulged with more enthusiasm too. Love is sexual and erotic.

PISCES
Now that Mars is moving into Gemini your home and possessions become far more important. You need more family involvement, to sort out your home and perhaps embark on a new business venture. Check your insurances and prevent fire hazards. You need constant reassurance in your love life.

ARIES
You’ll be swamped with information and ideas. Ensure that your car is in good condition, serviced and with new tyres. You are in 'doer mode', and will accomplish a lot. Anger could cause accidents. Love is probably too emotional for you today.

TAURUS
Your time and energy will be taken up with business and financial concerns. This is not the time to sit back; take an additional job or do what’s necessary to earn the money you need. Think carefully about investments as you don’t want to lose your hard-earned cash. Love is energetic and satisfying.

If anything is troubling you, especially to do with your career choices or aspirations, you could find that you see everything differently, with fresh eyes - and know exactly what to do next. Strategize, but be straight and honest. Singles could find instant love.

CANCER
You are ready to give total love and nurturing, but will he respond? Just relax and go with the flow. A financial problem could be fixed today, maybe through a raise or a promotion - just don’t tell everyone about it yet.

LEO
It is all about give and not just take if you want the relationship to succeed, and let him take the lead for once. You’ll be more than surprised and satisfied. Career-wise, keep up with the networking – meetings, negotiations will be successful.

VIRGO
Love-wise, you find forbidden fruit exciting today, but will it last, and do you care? It's all about the initial excitement and exhilaration which will take your mind off past love problems – you could find them being healed, too. Success in your career and work is very satisfying.

LIBRA
You can easily smooth over any problems with colleagues and strangers as you use your immense diplomatic skills. Your personal reputation and popularity will rise too. Everything you do today will be successful. Your libido is buzzing, so expect intense love-making.

SCORPIO
You need to be loved and nurtured by your man, but he might not be in that sort of mood. Rather than arguing or feeling let down, let love take its course. A mortgage or loan could come through today – try to control your emotions!

SAGITTARIUS
Make sure you are being rational rather than emotional when making big decisions, both in your personal life and at work. If in doubt, discuss with colleagues or your boss to ensure success. Love-wise, you and your man are a very sexy couple, but is this enough?

CAPRICORN
In matters to do with money, especially at work, diplomacy rules. Don’t be tempted to argue. If you have upset someone with a derogatory remark, now is the time to make amends or at least apologize. Love-wise, shared values are as important as great sex.

AQUARIUS
You can find very interesting and creative ways of making love – if you have the time in your very busy schedule searching for ways to improve humanity’s lot. Your home will give you the sanctuary you need after your extremely busy schedule today.

PISCES
At home your lovemaking will reach new, erotic highs – but may lack some of the emotion you need long-term. Your family is still a priority, needing your help and advice. This is a good time to start a business from home or to sort out your home office.

ARIES
Your friends will provide the support you need if your man seems to be disapproving or severe with you. However, it might be worth listening to what he has to say before getting angry. Ask him for his financial advice – you don’t have to act on it, but it will boost his ego.

TAURUS
Your mothering qualities come to the fore at work today, and will be greatly appreciated by everyone you listen to their problems. Sex will be fantastic if you take extra care not to contradict everything your man says.

18 June 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/18-june-2011 GEMINI
This isn’t a day for sitting at home being miserable – you need adventure, and to learn about everything from different religions and philosophies to planning a trip abroad. The same goes for your love life which needs to be exciting and fun. Not too much emotional commitment is on the cards today.

CANCER
Quite an emotional day where you thrive on your feelings, but even these might be a bit OTT today. You may well have passionate secrets, but this is not a day to talk about them. Career-wise, you could be overly fixed on your point of view. At least consider new ideas.

LEO
At work you want to go with some new exciting ideas, but Saturn tells you to keep it simple and conservative. There is the possibility of an old relationship being healed, but whether or not you reach the same level of passion is another story.

VIRGO
Your colleagues could become bored with your same old ideas – and challenge your views. You trust the more conservative way of making money, while they might want you to take more of a risk. Aim for balance. Love-wise, life isn’t so predictable either.

LIBRA
You're feeling relaxed, and you make your life just as you want it to be today. Not everyone appreciates your need for fun and enjoyment, so a loan application might be delayed or someone could criticise your extravagance. Just be yourself. Sex is physical, but is there an emotional connection?

SCORPIO
You and your man thrive on individual success, then come together for some amazing sex. Being an extremely private person, you hate anyone prying into your life or telling you what to do, but working with people rather than alone will make your more successful today.

SAGITTARIUS
You are more interested in what makes your man and everyone else around you happy rather than focussing on yourself, and this makes him eager to lavish attention on you. At work, there could be a few obstacles which you have to overcome – don’t get stressed.

CAPRICORN
You seem to know exactly what everyone wants today, especially at the office which leads to a very happy working environment. Flowers and plants help too. Take the time for a new hair style or beauty treatment. He appreciates your practical outlook, and you appreciate his need to experiment.

AQUARIUS
Love and romance – you want it all today but is there time? There is so much going on in your life, from social events to fun but risky adventures that sex takes a back seat. It can wait. You could be planning a change in your domestic life.

PISCES
You can call on a hidden storehouse of wisdom and knowledge - just use your intuition and the answers will come to any question. Your positive attitude and willingness to listen will be appreciated by your family. Love-making is erotic, but unemotional.

ARIES
You chat to everyone today as if they are all your family, but you do need to exercise some discrimination. This is a good time to join a business association or get involved in group activities. Sex is unlimited in its eroticism, but a bit cold.

TAURUS
You have the power to sway the feelings and emotions of everyone around you, but be careful not to overdo it. Your judgment is good when it comes to business, with loyalty and duty being uppermost in your mind, as well as the financial rewards. Love is tense, but sex is mega.

With your positive mood you’ll succeed at everything you attempt, learning as you go. Your imagination is working overtime, but something is holding you back from letting it go wild. Are you and your man on the same wavelength today?

CANCER
Someone is very impressed with you today, and you are able to put across your ideas easily and coherently in a warm, though slightly emotional way. Being diplomatic at home will ease family relations, and he could be the soul mate you’ve been looking for.

LEO
You could hear something that's not usually talked about – keep it to yourself. Your imagination is working overtime which could be confusing. Stay focussed, loyal and use your diplomatic skills. Love-wise, don't be tempted to kiss and tell...

VIRGO

Career-wise, your loyalty and diplomacy will help your bank balance as it becomes more appreciated by those who matter. Use your creative talents to make even more money, and have some fun at the same time. Love is all about sex.

LIBRA
You have great success as everything you do, and you make good judgments. Romantic relationships are really well starred especially as you boost your man’s ego – which always helps your sex life.

SCORPIO
Is there a bit of a clash in your love life? It will pass, but sex might be a bit predictable today. Try not to be judgmental. The answer lies in the way you use of imagination. Your sense of humour is sharp today, so use it to good advantage in your career. A new skill will help too.

SAGITTARIUS
You are still trying to be organized, getting through loads of tasks, trying to make enough money and see friends - is there time for you? You do need your adventures, and to keep your body fit. At least your man is helping you up the success ladder.

CAPRICORN
What should be a good day is dampened by the Moon, making you feel a bit sad and frustrated. If you can concentrate on the positive things that Saturn is bringing (good judgment, diplomacy and business sense) you’ll not only have a devoted lover, you’ll have huge success too.

AQUARIUS
Now is the time to think up new ways of making money. Listen to your intuition, and follow your vision by taking in the full picture. It may take time, but it will be worth it. If you are too demanding of your lover there will be fireworks, but a lot of romance too.

PISCES
Your personal planet is causing some confusion, both at home and with your friends. Your intuition is telling you one thing and your mind something quite different. If entertaining at home this weekend, do your planning now. You need your man to help.

ARIES
Even if there is an argument over your career or between your parents, don’t get involved – keep calm, and don’t blow your top otherwise it could affect your love life too…Your love life looks suitably chaotic, sexual and fun.

TAURUS
You want the best of everything, and with your present outlook and resolve you are able to make the money you need. This means you’ll soon have everything you want, including that special man. You may have to travel abroad, or at least widen your horizons to find him.

16 June 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/16-june-2011 GEMINI
Over the next few weeks you’ll have new ideas of how to make and earn money. Your partner and family will be ready to assist you financially and with advice, but you have to have the facts and figures ready. In love, you don’t have much time.

CANCER
You could be more than usually self-centred, and most of your ideas, thoughts and even your discussions will be about you. If there is something stressing you out at the moment, try to talk it through rather than waiting and letting it explode. Erotic sex will help.

LEO
It's best to keep your personal matters to yourself, no matter what emotional pressure you are under. Your intuition is sharp, so use it to suss out what is really going on. Keep your life as ordered as possible at the moment. Love is all about style rather than messy sex.

VIRGO

Group meetings and discussions are very favourable, and your imagination and vision will be appreciated. You might have to cancel or postpone a social event, so keep a close eye on your diary. You will prosper when you and your partner work as a team rather than on your own.

LIBRA
You could hear some good news about your career prospects, but wait before you tell anyone! If you know your point of view is different or unacceptable to those who matter, then it might be best to keep quiet about it. Sex is not the focus today.

SCORPIO
Think big: reach beyond your normal environment, and broaden your horizons. Learn from people from different cultures – they have something interesting to say. This is a good time to plan a trip abroad. Sex-wise, it is all about obsession.

SAGITTARIUS
Now that Mercury is moving into Cancer you will be more interested in how you can develop your talents even further so that you can really make some money. Talk to your family as they could have some good ideas too. Being an exhibitionist will add excitement to your love life.

CAPRICORN
Negotiating a new contract or starting a joint venture will be very favourable as long as you discuss everything, especially the small print. Something or someone at work is a source of stress – find other ways of calming your temper. Professional success doesn’t always mean instant sexual satisfaction.

AQUARIUS

You could feel weighed down by deadlines, schedules and responsibilities, but the more organized you are, the easier it’ll be to deal with it all as a lack of attention to detail could cause problems. Plan your day carefully. Love-wise, lots of laughing will assuage a lack of emotion.

PISCES
Use your imagination and intuition to make sure your creative talents are appreciated at work. This is a good time for any form of the arts, but especially when writing or speaking. There is the chance you could lose your tickets or that your travel plans will be delayed.

ARIES
This is a good time to install a new computer, phone or other equipment, or set up an office at home. Anything to do with property will be successful if you do the research. If purchasing, get an expert in to assess its worth. Love-wise, your fantasies could be satisfied.

TAURUS
These next few weeks see you busier than ever with meetings, discussions and loads of paperwork. You are also concerned about money, so much of your time will be taken up with planning your budget, and negotiating loans and deals. Love-wise, being perfect might not be very sexually fulfilling.

VIRGO

LIBRA
It's time to get your car checked, and ensure that your computer and communication equipment is up-to-date. Remember to back up important documents. There could be more trips than usual and further studies will be very successful. In love, he certainly seems serious – is that is who you want?

SCORPIO
The Lunar eclipse shows that over the next few months you’ll be focussed on your finances, making money and paying off debts. You’ll find it necessary to work harder and co-operate more. In love matters you could find yourself thinking more about your sexuality and what you really want.

SAGITTARIUS
It’s a new beginning which also means there is an ending. This could be an offer of a job or a new relationship. Even if you are happy about the changes, there will be a bit of tension so make sure you stay healthy and get enough exercise and sleep.

CAPRICORN
The Lunar eclipse isn’t easy for you. It's time to sort out any past issues with siblings, talk to your boss about your career prospects and discuss anything that's worrying you with your present partner - especially if the relationship is not as fulfilling as you’d like.

14 June 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/14-june-2011 GEMINI
Routine love-making will just not do it for you today – you need something wild and exciting. Saturn is no longer retrograde so your imagination will add spice. Your creative talents will be appreciated at work, so put in a bit of extra effort.

CANCER

You need more excitement in your work – boredom and too much routine can be a bit stifling to your creative spirit. You know you have to co-operate with everyone at work, but it can be stressful, so relax tonight with some wild, untamed lovemaking.

LEO
Stress could dominate if you feel you aren’t appreciated by your friends or business associates. Perhaps your ideas are a bit too experimental? Self-control could be necessary instead speaking your mind. Some luxurious pampering by your man will help.

VIRGO
Do you feel he's hogging all the limelight, leaving you in the shadows? Don’t sit around complaining – do something! Your career is going well, but is there something you can you do to make an even bigger impact? Your home is your retreat, but that doesn’t mean you have to be the doormat.

LIBRA
Your mind keeps fluttering from one thing to another, so it's difficult for your man to hold your interest. Your man might object to your eyes following every gorgeous guy around as he tries to tell you his latest story… If you want to get that trip sorted, co-operation will be necessary.

SCORPIO
It's vital that you cooperate if you want to keep your finances on track. Over-spending on unnecessary items will just deplete your resources and anger both your man and your family. You’d love to get away to a desert island with your lover, but you might have to use your imagination instead.

SAGITTARIUS
You want adventure and the freedom to do whatever you want whilst still having your man’s total devotion. You are also in more of a social mood than usual, so invite friends (even that prospective lover) over. Some exotic lovemaking will lift your mood even further.

CAPRICORN
If you insist on picking up every mood and emotion of those around you it's no wonder you feel stressed. Use your fertile imagination to make your work more fun and efficient both for you and for your colleagues. Love-wise, you are a bit of an exhibitionist today.

AQUARIUS
The benefit of having a wide group of friends becomes more evident today as the interaction increases your artistic creativity and keeps you from getting bored. New money-making opportunities are coming your way – listen to your intuition. Love is about hot sex.

PISCES
It's time to be adventurous with your home and your work too. If redecorating, you might choose to go minimalist when normally you prefer messy comfort. Remember, you probably have to live with your decisions for quite some time. Sex-wise, a bit of aggression could turn you on.

ARIES
Talk about success! You have it all – amazing sex, travel opportunities, creativity and great entrepreneurial skills. Love-wise, you are equally free-spirited, especially if the sexual tension at home gets too hot.

TAURUS
A friend or colleague needs you to help them through their crisis or trauma and this, in turn, helps you overcome any past hardships or losses. Be extra careful with money, especially when dealing with other people’s finances. Your man probably doesn’t like your extravagance.

13 June 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/13-june-2011 GEMINI
Today is all about co-operation, working as part of a team and dealing with the pressure. You will have to be very diplomatic with those in authority, and overreaction is a no-no. Show your interest by asking questions. In love, he is willing to do everything you ask.

CANCER
Intensity in everything you do brings clarity, making it easier for you to gather and assimilate information. It is important that you don’t talk about it as gossip could damage your reputation. Conflict between you and your man over work and domestic chores shouldn’t harm your intimacy.

LEO
You will be busier than usual, but making new contacts now will really help you in the future – and apart from that, it's a lot of fun. You could meet someone very special and a new romance could blossom. Be in touch with friends and business associates.

VIRGO
At work you are quick, efficient and highly successful, and this is a good day for meetings and business negotiations. You could get an unexpected bonus and, love-wise, there is more warmth and feeling in your relationship which leaves you satisfied and nourished.

LIBRA
Be extra careful when driving or even crossing the road for the next few days, even in your own neighbourhood. Your money and financial position are important. Discuss them with your partner, but don’t get angry if he can’t help. Don’t be disloyal in love.

SCORPIO
It's time to look at your skills and talents, including what you have developed and what is still untapped treasure. Look at your debt situation too; try to pay off whatever you can, and collect money owed to you. You have the strength of mind now to look after your own interests. Sexual obsession rules.

SAGITTARIUS
Partnerships and joint ventures are given new impetus, and now you can negotiate the terms and conditions to suit you. Don’t get over-tired as you’ll become stressed; rather, take time out to relax. An early night won’t hurt – with your favourite man, of course.

CAPRICORN
You could hear some good news about a job application or a work assignment. Is it time for a new hairstyle? Today is also a good one for other beauty treatments – these will make you feel great and boost your self confidence. Simple togetherness is key in your love life.

AQUARIUS
You may not care about commitment today – what you want is pleasure. If it comes with a brainy, brawny slightly rough macho-man, you'll be in seventh heaven. You’ll settle for any one of these traits. Use your imagination in your job.

PISCES
It might feel like destiny has brought you together, but the intensity is exhausting. Luckily you know exactly what you want, and you can persuade anyone to help you get there. Family projects are very successful.

ARIES
Everything you do will be a success – as long as you keep that temper under control. Don’t let too much intensity mar your negotiations and business dealings. Your siblings need to discuss something important, so find the time for them. Love is hot and passionate, but not easy.

TAURUS
The emphasis is still on finance, but you can negotiate favourable deals and ways of investing. Don’t become impatient if your personal needs aren’t met immediately. Discuss things calmly, with all the facts and figures at hand. You are a mixture of beauty and power – use these attributes to your best advantage.

12 June 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/12-june-2011 GEMINI
You need to feel appreciated for your hard work today, and can be quite dramatic and self- righteous when you feel ignored. Help others with generosity but don't have expectations. Self-pity is definitely a no-no. Your love-life will make you feel liberated today.

CANCER
Let your imagination run riot, especially when doing any kind of charity work or fundraising and you'll achieve huge success. This same creativity in your daily work also means that you soon see your dreams coming true – whatever they may be.

LEO
Hang in there, no matter how emotionally low you’re feeling today otherwise it will either upset a good love relationship or prevent a new one from happening. The same goes for family and colleagues. You are intent on success today, but don’t let your temper interfere.

VIRGO
Let your siblings give you support and comfort, especially if a trip has had to be postponed or altered. Your public speaking skills are strong, though perhaps a bit overly emotional. You’ll have more success if you stick to the facts. In love, you need him to show you how it’s done today.

LIBRA
Just remember that more is not always the answer. If you are in need of a little retail therapy perhaps it would be better to leave your credit card behind. This is even more important if you and your man are at cross purposes – don’t add fuel to the fire.

SCORPIO
Talk about sexual obsession! Your main interest lies in getting what you want. Luckily this will most likely make your man extremely happy. Handling other people’s money today at work is important, confidentiality being the key-word.

SAGITTARIUS
You are so sensitive today that you pick up the emotions of everyone around you. Try not to confuse them with your own feelings. A little detachment is necessary. Sex-wise, you seem eager to try new tricks and eroticism is key.

CAPRICORN
Be very careful when becoming too attached or friendly with a new business associate – they might not be who they seem. A group social activity will help you unwind at the end of the day, especially if followed later by some satisfying lovemaking.

AQUARIUS
Utilize those creative talents to bring your career aspirations closer. A disagreement between you and your parents or over a property deal could leave you a bit emotionally low. A romance seems to be turning serious, and he’ll give you the support you need tonight.

PISCES
Jupiter is turning your love life into a bit of an emotional roller coaster. You could look elsewhere, but will you find that same duet and be perfectly in tune with each other? If involved in property negotiations or renovations, make sure you’ve researched all possibilities.

ARIES
Try not to use your money as a way of showing off or trying to climb the social ladder. Let your natural generosity of spirit and sense of fun lead the way. Love-wise, you and your man are enviably sexy, but don’t let inner aggression flare out of control.

TAURUS
You are in the mood to be loved and nurtured, but in order to do this you could feel you have to do everything he says. Remember, it's your body and you have the right to say what you want and don’t want. Which is stronger – the love or the sexual connection?

11 June 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/11-june-2011 GEMINI
Your mind is clear and strong, but are you pushing yourself to the limit? Being honest is one thing, but do you have to always tell everyone what to do? People find you very appealing today, and loving romance will encourage emotional bonding.

CANCER
Don’t hide your feelings – let your man know exactly what you want. You look demure, but does he appreciate that you actually enjoy a very erotic love life? At work the more you participate, the easier it will be to find co-operation and agreement.

LEO
There might be a bit of confrontation with your man if you want to pursue your hobbies while he has other ideas. A little flattery will get you everywhere. At work it is all about networking and good communication with business associates.

VIRGO
You're in the public eye today at work, but are you comfortable with this? Try to relax and go with the flow, and concentrate on your finances instead. There is the chance of an overseas trip, and there could be more friendship than passion today - which is fine by you.

LIBRA
A romantic fantasy about a colleague or someone you meet through your work could make your judgment a bit weak, and this could spill over into your work in general. Try to keep a sense of proportion by using your inner strength. Further studies will help your career aspirations.

SCORPIO
Love and sexual passion are swirling around bringing out deep, hidden emotions which you find difficult to handle. What does he think? You enjoy spontaneous sex, but today you are in difficult mood. Think about the long term – what are your goals?

SAGITTARIUS
Socializing with colleagues, friends and business associates is important today as you are more interested in them than you are in yourself and your aspirations. Your work seems to be going well and your health isn't bad either. Sex-wise, has he shown you all his tricks?

CAPRICORN
You certainly seem to be rising up the corporate ladder as your work goes from strength to strength. Just give yourself a break occasionally so you don’t suffer from burnout. Is your diet healthy, and are you following an exercise routine? Vigorous sex is good, but not the answer.

AQUARIUS
Use your imagination to plan the perfect holiday – you don’t want to miss out on anything. Romance is high on your agenda - are you including a man in your adventure abroad? If you're single, the chances are you’ll meet someone very special. Love has to be fun all the way…

PISCES
Passions are running high at home – this could either be a strong sexual connection with your man or an argument with your family. A social gathering could make you feel a bit stressed, no matter how much you look forward to it. In love sensitivity is the key word.

ARIES
As you are usually the dominant partner in any relationship, you will soon tell him exactly what you want. Today you are unusually sensitive to his needs and this could lead to some really wild sex. There could be a delay in your travel plans. Don’t fret – just accept.

TAURUS
The stress of making money could affect your health – relax! The best for you is to keep to your routine as far as possible, but don’t worry if you have to make sudden new plans. Just go with the flow. Love-wise, your femininity stimulates his imagination.

10 June 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/10-june-2011 GEMINI
As the Moon moves into Libra you are in the mood for some fun. You look fantastic, and you're super popular. If there is no special man around, have a night out with the girls. Just avoid getting angry when someone disagrees with you. Sex is OK, but there is not much emotion.

CANCER
A good time for a night at home alone - wash your hair, do your nails, and have a wax. If he is there, then let your affection show and share your romantic fantasies. It’s a journey that doesn’t have to be taken alone. Be ready to change your plans at work.

LEO
Use charm, but there is no need to manipulate others into doing what you want as Venus is doing its best to make even your wildest dreams come true. All you have to do is relax, be affectionate and nurture everyone. There isn’t much emotional depth, but your libido will be satisfied.

VIRGO

As you push yourself to the limits work-wise you find your interest in learning new facts is really helping your career. This is one of the strongest financial days all month. Saturn urges restraint, especially when dealing with other people’s money. In love, is he earthy enough for you?

LIBRA
Peace and love rule, and you're feeling affectionate, contented and ready for some exciting, experimental love-making. At work your creative talents are proving that you can make money by using and trusting your imagination.

SCORPIO
The more you develop your talents, the greater the financial rewards for you and those who work with you. You're a bit too sensitive today, possibly picking up the emotions of everyone around you too. Spend time with friends rather than too much time alone with your man.

SAGITTARIUS
It is all good news as far as contracts and other negotiations go – as long as you co-operate and find a mutually beneficial way forward. You find comfort through a sense of belonging rather than on your own. Sex-wise, there are no limits today.

CAPRICORN
At work, the better you get on with colleagues, the more you succeed – and with Venus assisting the Sun and Mercury everything looks bright. Speaking of bright - don’t forget that new plant or flowers for your office. In bed, your self-confidence grows.

AQUARIUS
Life is all about pleasure, having fun and doing what you want – there doesn’t seem to be much emotion though. Love is physical, active and quite inventive too. A business partnership might work even better as you are both interested in learning new skills.

PISCES
It's all about your home and family today. Property negotiations go well, and asking for a loan to purchase a new home or do renovations should succeed. Just make sure you have all the facts and figures at hand. Sex today will help you forget any troubles or setbacks.

ARIES
The time and energy you put into local neighbourhood affairs will be greatly appreciated as you thrive when you are part of your local community. Expect some tension, though, especially if your plans have to suddenly change. You can dissipate this with your lover...

TAURUS
Try not to let different views on finance explode into an argument – you are making enough money, so keep the peace at all costs. Listen to your body; it will tell you whether or not you need a caffeine, sugar or veggie boost. In love, let him nurture you.

9 June 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/9-june-2011 GEMINI
Venus moves into your sign today encouraging you to express your love and beauty – inner as well as outer! Your sense of humour helps and flirtations have their own rewards. Express yourself as you are, not as others want you to be.

CANCER
Fantasy romance could be far more fun than the real thing. Are you keeping your latest love affair secret? If he is married or unavailable, let him go – it will only get more painful later… You have the courage and the ability to make the right decisions in your work as well as in your personal life.

LEO
Your friends, your job, your money and your possessions all work together to make you feel safe and secure and you feel that all your dreams and aspirations can come true. You can easily sort out any feelings of jealousy – you know how loved you are.

VIRGO
Everything is working to put you in the spotlight, so make sure you look your very best, and that you show all the charm of your personality. Show off your talents, and ask for that promotion (you may not get it but it is worth a try!). Love could be a bit puritanical.

LIBRA

Your personal planet moves into Gemini today bringing more romance and less commitment. A joint business venture will most likely involve someone from a different country or have to do with travel. You could take up a new creative hobby involving writing or music.

SCORPIO
You will need a common goal for your relationship to really work. A loan application should be approved more easily and you have the support of business associates and friends. In matters of love, will the lust last?

SAGITTARIUS
With Venus moving into Gemini you are more interested in pleasing your man than in your own needs, and he showers you with even more love. There is great harmony at work as everyone wants to co-operate with you and negotiations and contracts work in your favour.

CAPRICORN
You’ll work far better if your office space is as pretty as you can make it – a coat of paint, a plant or flowers will make all the difference. You are very gentle and feminine so a loud, raucous atmosphere could cause you stress. In love, you need him hot tonight.

AQUARIUS
If you want to put some romance back into your life you have to accept every invitation, attend social events and hang out with colleagues – be where it is all happening. A make-over or new hairstyle will work wonders. Sex-wise, fantasy could finally turn into reality.

PISCES
Harmony in the home is possible now that Venus has moved into Gemini, so get together with your family. Renovating and decorating will go well if you get your family and partner involved. This is a good time to purchase property. Love could easily get serious.

ARIES
You can charm anyone now that Venus has moved into Gemini, but beware of coming across as false. Your relationship with your siblings can be improved now so get on the phone and invite them over. Opportunities for romance can be found in your local neighbourhood.

TAURUS
With your personal planet moving into Gemini this is the perfect time for some pampering so that you are ready for the busy social time ahead. New romantic opportunities abound for single Taureans but your judgment might not be good, so take care.

8 June 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/8-june-2011 GEMINI
You start the day full of optimism and feel you can do anything – don’t let a few small obstacles get in the way. Be logical and concentrate, but don’t lose your imagination. Love-wise, a disagreement over money needs more trust and compromise. Emotional pressure makes things tempestuous.

CANCER
Talking about your health takes priority today, especially if there is pressure at work. Don’t give in, even if you do feel a bit uncertain about what to do next. Talk to the experts. You probably need a break so that you get back your self-confidence. His support calms your nerves.

LEO

He loves you just as you are – what a welcome change! There seems to be mutual adoration, huge depth of feeling and rising passions. At work you can see the results of your hard work and dedication, as well as your inspiring leadership.

VIRGO
After a day of working to achieve your major ambitions with confidence and optimism, you can’t wait to get home to some peace... But even at home there is so much to do. Let him help and support you, and bring you the love you deserve.

LIBRA
You seem to be sweet and good-natured, but somewhat remote today. Is this because there are so many different opportunities opening up that you need time to think and reconsider before taking action? Your sex life mirrors these feelings, and you prefer gentle love to heavy sex.

SCORPIO
Transforming your life could become almost an obsession and, while this is important, you have to learn to share and trust your friends and colleagues. Joining in a group activity might help release some of the pressure - and be fun too! Do you know your own emotional strength?

SAGITTARIUS
Love-wise, it's no good looking for adventure - just be patient. Be generous rather than self-righteous at work. Your colleagues and business associates will appreciate your organizational skills and ability to focus on problems. Love-wise, you are the needy one.

CAPRICORN
Learning new skills or attending a business seminar, will give your career aspirations a boost. A business trip could be coming your way, but it might end up being local rather than overseas… Compassion is needed in your love life, especially if passion is waning.

AQUARIUS
You are more than usually responsive to the needs of your partner, who - with luck - will respond with some very experimental and energetic sex. This whole month suggests the pursuit of pleasure both at work and socially. There could be confusion over finances.

PISCES
You need the care and nurturing of your family and partner today. If you're alone, your home will provide the comfort you want. Flowers, candles, a long, warm bath and soft music will all help lift your mood. A pedicure will do wonders too.

ARIES
A busy month, and today you need to answer emails, sort out papers, return calls and generally get your daily routine sorted. This is the way to keep yourself focused and lessen any stress. You thrive when organized. Love-wise, kinky sex satisfies!

TAURUS
This is a day to think about how you can use your creative skills to make more money. Financial luck is with you and others will recognise your personal integrity and abilities. Romance is there too, but you’ll have to suss out the opportunities.

7 June 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/7-june-2011 GEMINI
There doesn’t seem to be much warmth right now, and you're being extremely critical. Nobody's perfect, least of all you. You might be indulging in a secret love affair which you do your utmost to rationalize to yourself. Is the worry worth it? Your family provides emotional support.

CANCER
A day for logical thinking and concentrating on the things that have to be done. Try not to get upset by too many interruptions or you’ll just end up stressed. Your man seems willing to put up with your mood swings – but for how long? A de-stressing, sexy massage will work for both of you.

LEO
Group influence could impede your personal freedom as well as your financial progress. Fight for your individuality. Luckily, due to your nurturing manner, you are able to do this without upsetting anyone. Is he jealous of your popularity? At least it makes him more passionate and lustful.

VIRGO
You should hear some good news about your career, especially if it involves a more public forum - though you might want to put a little restraint on talking about your unique ideas, no matter how serious you are about them.

LIBRA
Your travel plans are working well – just be careful on the roads. You need a break, especially if you’ve been harder than usual. Someone from a different culture or country could become very special to you. You’ll have to provide the heat in your love life today.

SCORPIO
You start the day off in a positive manner, but you become more and more frustrated as the day wears on. Concentrate and focus on your finances, and don’t let interruptions get to you. Lock the office door if necessary! His perfection could be very dampening – you’ll have to take it up a notch.

SAGITTARIUS
Preaching and moralizing could be a pitfall in your love life, which means the steamy sex you want might not be forthcoming. Action rather than words will be needed. Friends and groups give you more support. This is a good time for networking if you want to be financially independent.

CAPRICORN
Diet and exercise still take priority, and when you feel fit, energetic and healthy, your work improves as well. An overseas connection will help your career today. Your sex-life is down-to-earth, but is it getting a little predictable?

AQUARIUS
Everything you say, do and think are creative, exciting and without restraint. You are determined to make a difference, but can be a bit too demanding and critical. Luckily, your man encourages you to even greater heights of creativity and fantasy – he’s probably that sexy nerd.

PISCES
Today is all about your role in the family. You could be introducing your man as a new addition, and you could be setting up home together - or just visiting your parents for supper. There is tension over an impulsive financial action; be extravagant in bed instead.

ARIES
Your personal planet is bringing tension, and this could cause an accident if you aren’t careful. Beware of causing an argument due to an unwise remark. Think carefully before you speak. You and your man seem on different planets – Mars and Mercury!

TAURUS
As long as you keep the romance and mystery going (along with a good dose of imagination), your love life will be fabulous – but if it becomes even a tad boring, you’ll want out. Keep experimenting. Financially, things go well as long as you aren’t too extravagant.

6 June 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/6-june-2011 GEMINI
As you try to do far too much and end up totally overloading yourself you could start to suffer burn-out and tension. You need self control, as well as a more tolerant attitude towards those who disagree with you. Laughter is your saving grace, especially in your love life.

CANCER
You want to be alone, yet it's your friends and business associates who offer the support you need. You’ll just have explain that keeping your space and personal freedom doesn’t mean you don’t appreciate them. Togetherness with your man is a much better option.

LEO
Try not to be too impulsive or confrontational with your man – he won’t understand. Look after your own needs, by all means, but don’t ignore his. You seem more than usually busy at work, and while optimism is one thing, trying to do too much is another. Ask for help if necessary.

VIRGO
Don’t let too many phone calls and garbled messages upset your working day. Instead, keep a clear head and a sense of purpose. You have many new ideas, but making them into reality will probably require further training. Your love life is enviably active and exciting.

LIBRA
Any partnership you are in now seems to be more than financially viable, and it's also a really good time to ask for a loan in order to get a project up and running. The more research you do, and the more facts and figures you have, the better. Love inspires you to greater achievements.

SCORPIO
Your love life could clash with your career aspirations today, but generally it is working with others that brings the most financial rewards. In love, you want it all – in a giving, taking, luscious feast of sexual experimentation.

SAGITTARIUS
You could travel or plan a trip abroad today, especially if this would help your career and your love life. Don’t take anything for granted, though – not everyone agrees with your idea, so you’ll have to do some fast talking. Love is exhausting.

CAPRICORN
You have some innovative ideas on how to expand your work and career, but it seems that these could cost a lot of money. Your personal planet urges you to control your ideas and think them through rather than rushing ahead without thought. Is love lacking emotion?

AQUARIUS
When Mars aspects your personal planet there could well be tension as you become more impulsive and less interested in what others have to say. Everything you do will be noticed, so think before you speak. Love-wise, do only what you want – you don’t have to go along with all his demands.

PISCES
A family member could disagree with something you say or write. Don’t get upset, just accept that they have a different opinion. Things go better at work, and your popularity soars, though you might find it hard to get on with everything as there are too many interruptions. In love, freedom is a problem.

ARIES

Your personal planet in difficult aspect to Uranus is not easy for you, especially if someone is trying to stop you from spending too much. You hate restraint of any kind, even when necessary. Luckily, there isn’t any in your love life.

TAURUS
Your personal planet is in serious mode today, making you very exacting and self disciplined. Not even a bit of retail therapy will lighten the mood – unless it is to make your home even more of a haven. Love-wise, does he really share your passion?

5 June 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/5-june-2011 GEMINI
You need everyone to listen to your latest opinions and ideas, but if you are arrogant or persistent it could have the opposite effect. Listen and you will learn too. Relax, and show people how much they mean to you and your popularity will increase. He seems to be the one you’ve been waiting for.

CANCER
Is he trying to control you? You’d better let him know exactly what you want before it’s too late. Extravagance or risky investments could really damage your bank account. Don’t trust everyone, but take advice from experts. Caution is necessary.

LEO
Career-wise, someone could easily mislead you with false promises today. Be careful, but don’t let this dampen your optimism. You are succeeding, especially if you can use some of your new ideas. In love matters your ego causes a battle.

VIRGO
It's important that you keep it real today as over-estimation and exaggeration will damage your reputation. There could be a difference of opinion between your parents or over the amount of time you spend on your work. Do what’s right for you. Your femininity is bliss for him.

LIBRA

Extravagance, especially when it comes to someone else’s money, will leave you in debt and wondering how you’ll repay it all. Love-wise you are connecting as equals and with greater sexual enjoyment too. Be careful, though – there could be argument brewing.

SCORPIO
If you’ve let your love life intrude on your career, you’ll find your boss and co-workers are less than impressed. Also, he won’t be pleased if you exaggerate your importance. Luckily, as usual, your mutual hunger for each other soon sorts out your sex life.

SAGITTARIUS

Adventure calls, preferably with your man and friends, so it’s time to take off. But will this be appreciated by your colleagues or will they think you’ve let them down? Don't neglect your responsibilities at work. Love is vigorous.

CAPRICORN
Romance could easily blossom this month, as long as he shares your traditional values. Today it is all about sharing at work. There will be time for using your imagination and ideas, and your life will move in a whole new direction.

AQUARIUS

Your sex life is spiced up today, but in quite an unpredictable way so expect the unexpected. A member of your family might criticize you today – take note, but don’t get too bound up in guilt. Tomorrow you’ll feel much better.

PISCES
A computer glitch or car breakdown could upset you and delay your work. If you have deadlines, you have to explain before it gets too late. Your family and home will give you the comfort and support you need. Let your man keep the romance alive and well today.

ARIES
You could easily deplete your bank balance today, so avoid unnecessary purchases and delay the retail therapy until you have more money. A new romance will take your mind off your empty purse. Luckily, Mars is encouraging you to earn rather than spend.

TAURUS
Taurus is quite a self-indulgent sign, but today Jupiter suggests that selfishness is a no-no as the consequences will be unpleasant. Let your home be your sanctuary, and your family, a provider of emotional support. Let your feelings show to your favourite man.

4 June 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/4-june-2011 GEMINI
As Jupiter moves into Taurus today you’ll make great progress through your inner strength. Your intuition is much sharper than usual, so use it at work and in your love life to help you overcome worries and fears. Spontaneity keeps your life interesting.

CANCER

Friendships, groups and organizations become more and more beneficial to you and your work as Jupiter moves through Taurus. Meditation, music and spiritual groups will bring peace, and you feel like you could survive on love alone.

LEO
Don’t sit back – promote yourself now that Jupiter is in Taurus. When you make the most of all the opportunities out there, changing your life as necessary, you really gain – and your family are there to help. Love-wise, he bows to your supremacy.

VIRGO
Jupiter moving into Taurus adds some luck to your hard work, bringing greater opportunities for success in everything you do. Even other people’s decisions favour you. You could be offered a trip abroad. It is time to mother - not smother - your man.

LIBRA
The potential of Jupiter moving into Taurus is for increasing your assets, but there is the chance that you’ll lose if you are too extravagant or pushy. Research, listen and learn. Sex-wise, you are becoming more passionate and intense, but today you just want the trappings of romance.

SCORPIO
Jupiter moving into Taurus suggests that over these next few months you should work less alone and more with people as this is how you’ll succeed. Cooperation is key. You and your man together could become a really prosperous duo. Sex is hot!

SAGITTARIUS
You could be taking on more and more work now that Jupiter has moved into Taurus, and you might even have to hire someone to help with the extra workload. Don’t expect others to be impressed, though there is the chance you’ll get extra pay. Love is exotic and passionate today.

CAPRICORN

It will be almost impossible to avoid overindulgence now that Jupiter has moved into Taurus - no matter how strong-willed you are. Your imagination is working overtime in the office, too; slow down and get the basics organized. Is he your soul-mate? If not, Mr Right is out there.

AQUARIUS
A new venture that involves your home and family will be successful, but you have to get the basics right first rather than jumping in with both feet. Sort out the finances, priorities and values, and don’t trust anyone blindly. Your love-life is transforming both of you.

PISCES

Opportunities for widening your circle of contacts through travel and meeting new people are opening up to you so that you can use your creative talents from home to make money. Local community projects are more interesting too. Love-wise, are you just too sensitive?

ARIES
Jupiter moving into Taurus puts the emphasis on money, assets and investments over the next few months. You could gain, but you could also lose so be extra careful. Don’t waste your money or lose your social standing. Love could be thrilling tonight.

TAURUS
Jupiter moves into your own sign today, making everyone appreciate your uniqueness, beauty and abilities. Self-indulgence could be a problem as Taurus loves the good things in life – sometimes with disastrous results. If he is not your friend, he won’t last long as a lover either.

He might find you fascinating, chatty and inquisitive, but would probably prefer it if you didn’t talk quite as much as he needs attention and nurturing today. You use your intuition at work in a very positive way – try using it in your love life too.

CANCER
Sentimentality is the name of the game today, and you need to be mothered and loved, digging out old photos and that tattered doll or teddy. You might be moody, and needing to be comforted and cuddled. Your imagination is working overtime – wait a few days before making decisions.

LEO
Networking is the key and business meetings go well, but if there is confusion over financial transactions, take the time to investigate and sort it all out. It's important to discuss and express your opinions. You need your space today otherwise there’ll be tension in your love life.

VIRGO
There is good news career-wise, and it seems that nearly everyone wants your ideas and opinions. At home, though, your family might not be so receptive and cause a bit of tension. You’ll have to be very diplomatic. Your man will help you de-stress.

LIBRA
This is the perfect time to take on further training to take your career or business up a notch. A trip abroad would also help. Information you receive now might not be accurate. To avoid confusion it's important you check all facts very carefully. In love, you have the power.

SCORPIO
It's time to develop your talents and skills. Opportunities could come open up for research projects and the busier you are, the bigger the success. Togetherness makes your love relationship warm and tender – and enjoyably erotic too.

SAGITTARIUS
Today is all about working with others. When discussing contracts or other legal issues it's imperative that you get your facts and figures absolutely accurate if you want to avoid misperception and confusion. There could be anxiety in your love life. Could it be because you're a bit unpredictable?

CAPRICORN
Don’t try to turn yourself into someone you aren’t just to please your man – if he doesn’t love you just as you are, move on. When love is good, it’s very, very good. Watch what you say and how you say it as words can hurt. Health-wise, a second opinion might be a good idea.

AQUARIUS
You're always a bit unpredictable, but today your creativity could be so provocative that you upset your audience. It won’t hurt them, but it might upset you as you are emotionally attached to your ideas today. Your man is there to console you with passion and compassion.

PISCES
Talk to your family about cars, transport, computers and communication equipment and how to sort out problems. Negotiations and transactions to do with property could be delayed or confused. Get your facts straight, then use your considerable charm to sort it all out.

ARIES
You tell everyone your ideas and opinions, but as you are in a more right-brained mode today you might find you don’t have all the facts. Instead of overreacting if someone questions you, re-think your answers. Love is exciting and just a little bit dangerous.

TAURUS
Sharing interests with your man makes you a long-lasting and committed couple, though your sex-life is more open than many people know. Circumstances might mean you have to defend your values, but are they anyone else’s business?

2 June 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/2-june-2011 GEMINI
After the solar eclipse yesterday instructed you to get your act together, today your personal planet, Mercury, moves into your sign and helps you decide what changes have to be made, including how, what and when. When you find time for sex, it’s fast and furious.

CANCER
Now that Mercury has moved into Gemini you need to keep your thoughts, ideas and plans to yourself – gossip is a no-no as you could receive info that is meant only for you. Someone from your past could turn up. How will you deal with the situation?

LEO
You feel most comfortable with people who share your interests, and one of them could be passing on some very favourable information about you. You like to be the spokesperson, but it's possible that others find you a little too bossy. Sexually, you're feeling playful – what are you trying today?

VIRGO
You could hear some good news regarding a promotion or a new job, and any paper-work, reports or discussions should go in your favour too. When dealing with anyone else’s money, keep your imagination in check, and beware of deception. Are you feeling fickle today?

LIBRA
Your love life is cool to the point of icy. You might be having fun, but is there any emotion? You seem more interested in travelling and finding that mountain-top guru. If you do have your feet on the ground, further study is an easy way to satisfy your thirst for knowledge.

SCORPIO
Developing your talents and skills is easy – borrow the money if necessary. You could collect money owed to you, but make sure you also pay your debts. Surgery? A second opinion is a good idea if you aren’t comfortable with the suggestion. Love is irresistible.

SAGITTARIUS
The focus most of this month is on relationships, joint ventures and partnerships, and they seem mutually beneficial. You can negotiate very favourable contracts and terms; just make sure you have all the facts and figures on hand. In love, you encourage him to express his feelings.

CAPRICORN
Are you worrying about nothing? Keep your mind on one thing at a time so you don’t get stressed. Check the small details as you could miss something important. Love-wise, be subtle in your need for control.

AQUARIUS
It’s a great time to plan a holiday or trip with your favourite man. You are in restless mood, and you need many different things to keep you entertained and interested. At work, toss ideas about and listen as well as speaking. You are giving and forgiving – but there are limits.

PISCES
Your family is important at the moment, and you enjoy being in touch with siblings and giving them advice via email and SMS. You seem more than usually restless, and with so many ideas you don’t know which direction to go next. Making love is not the issue – it's living the dream together.

ARIES
So much to do, so little time… There are meetings, business projects, ideas and trips to consider. Luck is with you, though, and everything you touch seems to be successful – as long as you think before you speak. Love-wise, it's party time!

TAURUS
Life seems to be moving faster than you feel comfortable with. Your finances are your first priority, so you might spend more time than you’d like picking up a check or ensuring that money is paid into your account.

The solar eclipse today tells you to focus on your appearance, your personality, how you view others – and how they see you. Is it time for a new look, hairstyle or diet? Find new ways to keep your love relationship exciting, before boredom sets in.

CANCER

You may well feel that the link between you and your present man is karmic; a true spiritual connection. Some of you prefer to keep your love life top secret – why? The Solar eclipse suggests you need to give your life a lot of thought, and take the opportunity to move on where necessary.

LEO

The Solar eclipse today suggests you take this opportunity to make new friends, perhaps through joining a gym or social club of some sort. Don’t ignore invitations or social events. This eclipse also says that now is the time to set your goals and priorities for the coming year.

VIRGO
The Eclipse is activating your career, and suggests that you'll be in the public eye. Make sure you are looking your best, and that you don’t do anything that could damage your reputation. This is a good time to start a new business. Take time out for your man – love is tempestuous!

LIBRA
You have itchy feet, and are feeling restless. You probably have the travel bug, and are looking for adventure. You want to study, develop your talents and explore new ideas and philosophies, and you might even decide to work overseas for a while. If he doesn’t share your vision, sex will be a no-no.

SCORPIO
The Solar eclipse is energizing investments, legacies mortgages and bank loans. You could receive a gift of money. Even more good news - your sex life is getting even more exciting and passionate. Let the pheromones fly!

SAGITTARIUS

All close relationships will be emphasized by today’s Solar eclipse and will last the whole year – business partnerships, a marriage proposal or a sexy man could come on to you. Equally, don’t be scared of letting a bad relationship finish – you are in flirtatious mode.

CAPRICORN
Health, your daily routine and responsibilities at work are the focus of today’s Solar eclipse – you’ll be happy when you get your diet right and your exercise regime sorted. It's time to sort out your personal files, and your home and office space. Love is a learning experience too.

AQUARIUS
The Solar eclipse urges you to lighten up, let yourself have fun and give yourself time for creative projects, whether it's dancing, singing, listening to music, painting or making wild love… Children, maybe younger siblings, become more important to you too.

PISCES
The emphasis is on your home and family life which could mean a move, buying, renting or selling property, or even a change of office space. There are changes in your family life, too – you might move away or open a business from home. Do you have time for love?

ARIES
Things are happening in your neighbourhood, and you could get involved in local community affairs, publicity or maybe writing to a local newsletter. You could buy a car or new computer equipment. A sibling might come to stay. Love feels like a party.

TAURUS
The Solar eclipse suggests you’ll find your pattern of income changing, or you might feel differently about your possessions and assets as they either become less important or more important in your life. You might want more luxury, or to live more simply. Love changes too – it’s a whirlwind!

CANCER
You find it easy to express your feelings to your friends, and you enjoy social occasions. It's far more difficult for you to stay at home today, despite your family trying to give you support. Try not to resent what they have to say. Love-wise, you are the teacher today.

It's important that you organise your time and energy, using the computer wisely and exchanging ideas with others. The more willing you are to help other people, the more assistance you’ll be given when you need it. Your love life could be quite unconventional today… lucky you!

VIRGO
You’d like your love relationship to be erotic today – is it? There is an exotic foreign element too. You should be earning the right amount for your work today which could be a hard slog, but worth it in the end.

SCORPIO
You might not be aware of it yet, but your feelings and emotions are connecting you to someone very special. This might be a good to tell him exactly what you feel. Use your intuition to find the best time. Finances look good, and you could be offered a loan.

SAGITTARIUS

PISCES
Patience is needed, even when your family is being bossy. Just smile, and do what’s right for you. Luck is with you finance-wise as someone could repay a debt. Your writing and ability to talk about your feelings livens up your love life, and he’ll really pamper you tonight.

ARIES
Knowledge is power, and you might be privy to some juicy gossip. At the same time, others could make up things about you so keep yourself to yourself. Love-wise, he seems a bit slow for you but sex, at least, is carnal. You are still benefitting from this strong financial time, so don’t waste it.

TAURUS
This is me-time, especially where your health is concerned. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself do some exercise, get your diet right, and don’t over-indulge. At work, your responsibilities increase and you're well paid for your efforts. Your lover provides the comfort you crave.

Expect some changes in your life, especially at work as you move from one position to another. This doesn’t always mean promotion, just change which in the long-term will be beneficial. Love-wise, you seem overly sensitive to the needs of your man.

Your whole life could move on as you change your ideas, and what you thought was important may fade as new goals come into play. You could easily change career and move on to something more creative. Your present man could become just a friend.

VIRGO
Your finances could undergo some changes, and you could be offered the chance of a business partnership. Marriage will change your financial status as well as your personal goals. Think carefully about what you really want, and be courageous.

LIBRA
Someone could promise you the world – be careful! Don’t use tricks to capture your man either – it could end in tears. If you and your man both bring warmth, laughter and generosity into the relationship you’ll both benefit. Sensuality will always be the key.

SCORPIO
Expect change in the way you look after your body – if you’ve neglected it in the past, you’ll become interested in diet and fitness, and if you were a fitness fanatic or burdened yourself with too many duties, you’ll ease up. In love, who has the power?

SAGITTARIUS
Career-wise, use your vision and creative talents in a more charitable way, perhaps by thinking up new ways of making life more enjoyable for the elderly, those with long-term illnesses or in hospital. Love-wise, have you found your father figure?

CAPRICORN
Even if you're happy in your present job, you could easily decide to start your own business or work from home. It's important to follow your dreams, even if it is a bit scary. It might take time, but whatever you decide should ultimately be successful. Love-wise, you're in charge.

AQUARIUS
Anything to do with computers, writing and studying are becoming important, but you could use these skills in a broader sense, perhaps getting involved in local politics or community affairs. Don’t ignore opportunities – every President starts somewhere. Sex is playful but complicated.

PISCES
Your attitude to money is changing – if your work is boring but well paid, you might decide to accept a more interesting job for less money. If you work for little pay, you may decide to change to a less interesting but more financially rewarding one… Follow your heart.

TAURUS
Happiness isn’t found by searching everywhere – you need time alone to find it inside yourself. Alcohol, drugs, lovers or friends... none of these really help. You need to send warmth, love and generosity to your friends and lovers, though. Sex is lavish.

29 May 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/29-may-2011 GEMINI
More than usually emotional, you could try listening to your intuition as it is far stronger than usual, and you’ll be able to see the end results.

LIBRA
You want your man to be completely nurturing and caring, though you remain your usual, challenging self. Kinky sex is on the cards. All legal matters, negotiations and contracts should work in your favour as everyone seems very co-operative.

SCORPIO
Your work is getting more and more interesting, with added responsibilities. Everyone co-operates and helps you. You might take more risks than usual; watch your health. You’d like your man to do what you want. While this is not always possible, it doesn't diminish the passion.

This is a good time to turn your ideas into reality, so discuss them with those who matter. Organize a short trip and attend community activities and meetings, adopting a more responsible role. One of your siblings could become more prosperous now. Love is raunchy.

PISCES
You can ask your father for financial help, but this could be a difficult time especially if you're spending more than you can afford. Please be extra careful. If tempted to buy luxury items, ask yourself if you really need them. Your love life is give and take.

ARIES
Overindulgence could cause you to put on weight, but it's important for you to look good and have a strong self-image. Stick to a healthy diet and don’t indulge in excess alcohol or social drugs. You are unique, and you don’t have to go with the crowd. Love is uncomplicated.

TAURUS
Your job is odd at the moment – you could be given a raise but not the title, or the title but not the raise. Luckily you have the inner strength and power to cope with everything, and help and advice arrive just when you need it. In love, you need a strong bond to satisfy your demands.

28 May 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/28-may-2011 GEMINI
You need people around you at work and at home, and you use charm to get your own way. Spending time alone could make you depressed today. If an emergency arises, you’ll deal with it quickly, getting hold of all the right people. Love-wise there are no inhibitions – but there has to be friendship too.

CANCER
You could become frustrated with things happening at home or with your family, and you think you should receive more attention at work. Try not to be too judgmental – this is the weekend, so relax and enjoy. Take time out to meditate, let your favourite man massage your neck and shoulders.

LEO
Problems could prevent you from travelling or getting where you want to go this weekend, and even your computer or cell phone could play up. Don’t become angry or frustrated – just make a plan and you’ll soon come up with a solution.

VIRGO
Firstly, look after your wallet - finances could be a problem, either because you or your partner are spending more than you can afford. You need to think and discuss your priorities rather than becoming tense and moody. Creativity in your love life will sort out any conflict.

LIBRA
You may recently have taken on a lot more responsibilities, and today you could be overly sensitive to the needs of your man and everyone else around you. It's all a bit too much, and leaves you feeling tense and tired. Even your love life seems aggressive. Try moderation.

SCORPIO
You want it all – glamour, wealth and a sexy love life. But today you might not feel your usual positive self, and you're letting anxieties and worries stop you achieving at work. Watch your diet as too much over-indulgence will only make it work.

SAGITTARIUS

If you’ve been a bit of a loner recently, now is the time to get back into the swing of your social life, so phone friends and take more of an interest in groups and business associations. It is time to get interested in your local community affairs. Love is healthy and very sexual.

CAPRICORN
It's time to take responsibility for everything you do – you can no longer blame your childhood, your parents or anyone else. Take charge of your life and it will be transformed into one of success where everything is possible. Love is an experience.

AQUARIUS
You want to travel and explore the world, but there could be delays today. Don’t worry – you’ll still make a great impression, but on the local scene. At home, one of your siblings needs your attention. In sex, the more taboo the better…

PISCES
The stars suggest you need to take more responsibility for your finances, debts and resources, as well as those of your partner. Adaptability is the key, so use your intuition to sense what needs to be done. Love-wise, give him a bit of space.

ARIES
You may just a bit too wilful and moody in your love life. This is probably because you have too many responsibilities at the moment. Relax – your finances are still good, and you are in control of your life. Using charm (no matter what you're feeling) will help.

TAURUS
Your daily responsibilities and routine are what count today. When you find solutions to problems, finish everything that has to be done and you’ll feel a lot better. It will also help you to and avoid stress-related illness. An air of mystery about you keeps your man guessing.

Keep your independence at work, and don’t criticize co-workers or business associates if you want their help financially. Stress levels are high, and a sports challenge will help. Friends and other club members provide emotional support. In love, you have the staying power…

CANCER
It is all about action at work, and using your unique ideas. Keep quiet about your financial goals at least until you’ve worked them out to suit you. Expect that opposition from your partner or family could make you a bit depressed. Heal any rifts with loving sex.

LEO
A business trip will be very successful now, as will a holiday somewhere (the more exotic, the better). Some interesting social interaction stimulates your creative side, and takes your career up another notch. Love is warm and romantic.

VIRGO
You are more than usually passionate about getting your career going in the right direction. You might find that time spent abroad or furthering your skills will help your long-term goals. Investigate all possibilities. Love-wise, you might come across as pure and innocent, but you know better...

LIBRA
Your emotions are intense and over-stimulated, and jealousy and envy are major no-nos. Avoid an argument with a woman today. Instead, look your most beautiful and be your most loving and co-operative. Don’t take risks with your money.

SCORPIO
Rushing into a relationship could bring problems, so think very carefully - especially if it is only based on sex. Keep your space. New ideas at work will further your career. Give support to a colleague at work when necessary.

SAGITTARIUS
Love and romance are softening, and you might even give up a little of your self-control. If he doesn’t have your stamina, your moves in bed will soon get him fit. Using your creative powers at work will be financially rewarding.

CAPRICORN
There could be a few disagreements between you and your partner or family over work and daily responsibilities. Try not to be judgmental, especially if you are the one not doing your share. Sex probably isn’t your motivation, but it's rapturous anyway.

AQUARIUS
Your love life needs to be flamboyant and imaginative if it is to keep you interested - otherwise you’ll just move on. Turn any aggression into creative projects as your imagination is running riot – this will help financially too.

PISCES
Your home and family are taking up much of your time this month, whether you're buying, selling or renovating your home space. There are financial concerns regarding who is spending what. Communication, not anger, is the key.

ARIES
The Moon in your own sign makes your libido buzz even more than usual. If you feel you are missing out at home, you’ll just go out and take what you need. Be careful, as this risk-taking behaviour extends to your finances as well. Work-wise your courage, initiative and hard work will bring you everything you want.

TAURUS
If there is an obstacle of any kind in your way, you go right in and get rid of it. Don’t let issues with anger damage the financial progress you’ve been making. Tonight, relax in a long warm bath with candlelight and music to calm the soul. Love yourself as much as you love him.

26 May 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/26-may-2011 GEMINI
You work well with your colleagues and your popularity is increasing, though you possibly let them have too much power over you which you then resent and become angry. Balance and positive thinking are needed. Listen to your intuition.

CANCER
Today is the perfect one for meeting up with friends and co-operating on creative projects. A friend needs your support and help, but don’t become too bossy or overbearing. Accidents with heat or fire are possible, so watch your cooking. Love is a bit frenzied.

LEO
You want your achievements to be recognised by those who matter to you, so make sure your business associates are aware of what you do. If you're a member of a group (business or social), retain your individuality rather than following too blindly. You are probably too exhausted for love.

VIRGO
Express your feelings, especially to your favourite man – but use your intuition to find out when the time is right. Do you want success for yourself or for your man? Beware of giving up your own identity. You are more unpredictable and extravagant than usual, including in bed.

LIBRA
You have to think about the big picture, whilst not ignoring the day-to-day (more boring?) routine work. Don’t worry about tomorrow – there is enough work to get through today.
Everyone can feel your enthusiasm, and your love-life benefits big time.

SCORPIO
Love is there, waiting for you – but you want more. You expect feelings and emotions to evoke the passions of a soap opera and transform your life. You might have to make some adjustments, and accept what is real. Instead, transform your career through creative expression.

SAGITTARIUS
You find your power today through your relationships whether they're with colleagues, family, friends or your love partner. Don’t only align yourself with the rich, famous or influential – everyone has a role to play. Love-wise, a languid approach works well.

CAPRICORN
The most important thing this month is to get your diet and your exercise regime in place so that you are fit enough to avoid winter ailments. Do you have enough personal skills to ensure that you are pursuing the right career? Don’t let your love life become too heavy and emotional.

AQUARIUS
There is more to you than your work. Remember, to stay true to yourself you need to use your creativity and imagination, and express yourself in an artistic way. Only then will you feel relaxed enough to explore a more erotic sex life.

PISCES
Which is more important – your hereditary past or your own personal identity? Balance is needed, and only when you express yourself in your own unique way will you find the joy and excitement of being yourself in a playful and fulfilling relationship.

ARIES
The Sun in Gemini suggests that rivalry with siblings won’t get you very far. You both need to be free to express your ideas in your own way, and communication is the key. If you aren’t speaking, try emailing or communicating through a social network. Love is a compromise.

TAURUS
Your vitality today will bring you a sense of self-worth, and the feeling that you are valued and respected. You are able to manage the material world easily as you are still in a very good financial position. Love-wise, you and your man seem to be on the same wave length in every way.

If you are away from your usual social crowd, let your mother be the focus and a source of emotional support. Don’t give up your own space. If you are having difficulty sleeping, let soft music, candle-light and a glass of milk relax you.

CANCER
Adventure calls as the Moon could be making you restless and ready to get away, or urging you to meet new people. Your love life is another way of escaping boring reality. If single, you could meet someone very exciting now.

LEO
If there are undercurrents at work or things that you aren’t sure about, ask questions so that you don't get overwhelmed by your suspicions and negative thoughts. You need to trust and share your worries – most people will be supportive. Opportunities are there to make new friends. Love is in the fast-lane.

VIRGO
You could be feeling too lazy to make decisions, letting your partner or friends make choices for you. This is okay in the short term, but you do need to be proactive especially at work as this is your strongest career month all year. Don’t miss out on an overseas trip or further study.

LIBRA

There is love, passion and some really ecstatic sex – and for some of you, an exciting new man enters your life. This could be as a friend, a new colleague or a potential lover. Much of your time will also be taken up with of sorting out the finances in boring detail.

SCORPIO
You have some very innovative and creative ideas for making money, and contracts can be negotiated easily, bringing benefits to everyone. Share your dreams with your man – this really could be what life is all about.

SAGITTARIUS
Your home and your family are your refuge when life gets a bit too much. No-one around? Then a bar of chocolate or other comfort food will help. This won’t be the answer – just a short-term crutch. Your man’s intuition could help.

CAPRICORN

Your imagination is running riot, and you are craving as much knowledge as possible, all of which really helps your daily work and career. Saturn, your personal planet, is still in your career house. It is almost 'now or never' time. Love is tender and patient.

AQUARIUS

The Sun in good aspect to your personal planet is making you even more innovative and progressive than usual, though maybe costing you more than you’d budgeted for. You’ll just have to juggle your funds and be less extravagant. Love is fast and furious.
PISCES
It is a me-me-me day and you expect all your friends and colleagues, as well as your family, to give you the love and support you need. Luckily, they probably will. Love is dynamic, but only if you stop constantly talking about yourself and your needs.

ARIES
If there wasn’t much money around when you were a child, you'll be very happy to be in a good financial situation now. Be sensitive – not many people had everything. Physically, you are very attractive today, and softer than usual.

TAURUS
You and your man seem to share so much, so why are you clashing today? You seem in the mood for more friends and social events, and you need to dictate the pace of activities today. You can expect some wild, untamed fun in the bedroom.

24 May 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/24-may-2011 GEMINI
The more innovative the idea, the more excited you become about it – and if it works you could get a lot of good publicity. It might be worth taking a few risks, as well as getting the co-operation of your co-workers. You don’t want anyone prying into your love life, so don’t talk about it.

CANCER
You seem more than usually social and outgoing, and are interested in all things innovative - but what is your unconscious motivation? Your intuition is even stronger than usual, making it easier to adapt to changing conditions. A long-term relationship brings healing.

LEO
Your love relationship is romantic and sexually unrestrained – lucky you! Ignore any criticism; just follow your heart. Group activities will be more beneficial to your career than going it alone, and your actions will bring improvement to everyone.

VIRGO
The Moon is energizing your love life which could be quite unpredictable. All your relationships are benefitting from the same aspect. A business trip would really benefit your career aspirations through the knowledge you gain.

LIBRA
Any money you borrow or look after for others is of great importance, and will take up a lot of your time. Co-operation is the key as working together will make your life a lot easier. Make sure you pay attention to all the small details. An unexpected health problem may crop up.

SCORPIO

The enthusiastic energy you infuse into your love life makes it seem as though destiny has brought you together to fulfil all your dreams. You are more than usually romantic, loving and intensely passionate. The colour orange will bring even more passion.

SAGITTARIUS
Your body needs exercise, and your muscles are longing to be stretched and worked. Take advice from a personal trainer before starting at the gym. Don’t forget your diet either – home-cooked food is so much better for you than takeaways. Your home and family provide peace and protection.

CAPRICORN
The pursuits of pleasure, whether it's love, romance or creative projects for your work need little encouragement, though you know you still have to manage the routine matters too. Being loyal to your partner is the key to your love life – as well as knowing when to keep quiet.

AQUARIUS
Your focus is on having enough money to sort out your home décor plans. Your imagination is running wild, allowing you to do a lot without it costing you too much money. You are in romantic mode, but there doesn’t seem to be too much sexual passion!

PISCES
So much to do, so little time… Your work needs you, but you're spending far too much time on the internet while your family responsibilities loom large. Remember, you also need to have me-time otherwise you won’t be able to give your objective attention to anything else - including your favourite man.

ARIES
You are so in tune with those around you, you don’t know which are your thoughts and which are those of everyone else. You want to be in touch with all your friends via the internet or the latest cell phone gadget. Don't forget to tune in to your man too.

TAURUS
Your creative work is highly successful today, as is making money, though you may need the help and cooperation of business associates. Socially, this is a fun time with friends and embarking on different events. Your love life too seems very passionate, but also fun and just what you need.

You're ready to dash off at a moment’s notice abroad, following a new guru or signing up for a new course of study. Saturn suggests you’ll accomplish more if you control your wilder impulses. Love-wise, you could throw yourself into a new relationship. You're feeling wild and wilful.

CANCER
You seem over-emotional which might be about a strong woman in your life. Don’t blame her - you are probably overreacting. Tolerance is the key, especially if you have to change your schedule or your plans. Let your natural harmony flow. Love has huge passion, but is emotionally exhausting.

LEO
For once, you could be overly adaptive to the needs of your friends and partner. This could be because you need their support if you’ve had a disagreement at work or with an authoritative figure. A foreigner or a possible holiday abroad livens up your love life.

VIRGO
A successful business transaction is both exciting and satisfying, and there is the suggestion of a trip abroad or dealings with a foreign company. Keep an eye on your health today, and keep to your usual routine. Have an early night if you want to avoid stress.

LIBRA
Your creative talents could make you very successful, and the prospects for borrowing money to start or expand your business are good now. Love is both romantic and passionate, but you prefer to be at home with your lover than out clubbing.

SCORPIO
The money and status you have through your family connections is important now as these give you feelings of security and permanence that are hard to find in your daily life. Sometimes, you have to let go… You are more nurturing than passionate when it comes to your man.

SAGITTARIUS
The influence you have over your man is strong, and you are in the mood to talk about the future – but listen to your intuition. Is this really the time for a serious chat? Let romance rule instead. At work, use your decisive ability to finish everything that has to be done.

CAPRICORN
Be aware of how you speak to co-workers, especially if you need their help. When you think first you’ll have all the co-operation and help you need. Your creative abilities will boost your earnings – it is up to you how you use them. In love, you need his practical advice so try not to argue.

AQUARIUS
Despite most of the planets suggesting you’ll be happiest at home the Sun, Moon and Uranus are ganging up suggesting you need more space, and to get away and follow a dream. Tension could make you accident-prone, so keep calm – you aren’t superwoman!

PISCES
The Aquarian Moon coupled with your personal planet, Neptune, is causing you to make errors of judgment, especially when you try to communicate anything important. Check the finer detail whether talking or on the computer. At least your sex life looks promising.

ARIES
Finances still look great, so make this a time to see friends, invite people over and socialize. Your man might try to keep you in check - which is a not a bad thing as you are quite excitable. Your sex life is amazingly unrestrained and exotic.

TAURUS

You are focussed on your career, making money and on being recognised for your creativity and hard work. Do keep your cool, though – being argumentative or sulky won’t work for you now. Try not to overreact. Hope he's not too tired to listen to you…

As the Sun moves into your own sign of Gemini, it's time to consider your self-image, your personal goals and what turns you on. Even more talkative than usual, you are evasive and cool with your emotions which could upset your man.

CANCER
Don’t hide your problems – talk them through with someone you can trust as you may not be able to think very clearly on your own. At least you are able to fast-talk yourself out of difficult situations. Friends and co-workers give support – is your man your real soul-mate?

LEO
Your integrity, generosity and leadership qualities are noticed now, and these could lead to promotion. It is vital that you think carefully before you act as errors could occur, especially when dealing with other people’s money. Your man lends support, but is there love?

VIRGO
You know exactly what you want, and you could be questioning whether your life is really going in the right direction. Look at your daily routine – is it satisfying? It's time to make decisions so your life is transformed. Your love life is full of surprises today. Enjoy!

LIBRA
Broaden your horizons now with the enthusiasm sparked by Mars and your personal planet, Venus. Do your spiritual practices really suit you? Now is the time to learn about other philosophies and cultures, and to meet up with people from different backgrounds. Expect romance, love and passion – it will be unforgettable.

SCORPIO
Money could be gained through family connections, but it's more likely that have success by developing your skills. Do some research – you are even more curious than usual, your mind is quick and you are ready to make decisions. Love is unusual, but loving and passionate.

SAGITTARIUS
Your influence gets stronger by the day – use this power wisely! You’ll judge your current relationship only from your point of view. Your love life is very sexy, but there doesn’t seem to be much emotion at the moment. Work-wise, negotiations go in your favour.

CAPRICORN
What motivates you at work? Your imagination is working over-time, and Mars is bringing solutions to every problem. You are able to take control and transform your life now just as you want it to be. Finances are strong, but love is a bit of a battleground.

AQUARIUS
You're flamboyant and creative, and your imagination is running wild. You could use some of this in your home, as you redecorate and renovate to suit your needs. Self-expression helps you enjoy your life bringing pleasure, humour and romance, but not a lot of commitment.

PISCES
The emphasis is on your role within your family now that the Sun has moved into Gemini, yet it's also the time to be more independent. Work on balance. For such an emotional person, you seem strangely detached.

ARIES
This is an exciting time as your ideas expand, and you have more energy to transform your life into whatever you want it to be. It is time to share the power rather than going it alone. When it comes to problems, you can solve everything now. Sexually, there are no limits.

TAURUS

It is time to develop your personal skills, and to be seen as an individual rather than just part of the whole. Your monetary goals are important now, and it's time to build a solid base in case of fluctuating circumstances. Be generous, but not extravagant with both your money and your love.

21 May 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/21-may-2011 TAURUS
You need your friends around you, showing enthusiasm and eagerness to participate in group activities and community affairs. Think carefully, and don’t rush in. At work, your creative and technical skills provide the solutions to many problems. Only the best will do – and that special guy finally takes notice.

GEMINI
As the Sun is set to move into your own sign you become less sulky and insecure, and ready to take back your power. Try not to be too opinionated with friends and co-workers; instead, listen as well as speak if you want their co-operation. Sex is a bit boring and predictable, and it's up to you to make it fun.

CANCER
You could easily meet that perfect man at a business or social event, especially if you share the same interests. Make sure you accept the right invitations. It's important to be your own person, so don’t let anyone else decide for you. Sex is mind-blowing.

LEO
You are on your way to the top, but is this the career of your dreams? It's important that you have passion for everything you do rather than simply doing what is expected in order to satisfy someone else’s needs. It's really important to follow your dreams, and the same goes for your love life.

VIRGO
You have a need to broaden your mind as well as your horizons. Try not to be too fanatical about your beliefs; rather, try to understand those who think differently whilst sharing your own ideas, and let your imagination roam free. Love-wise, is there compassion as well as passion?

LIBRA
Is there a secret you are delving into at the moment? If you're trying to figure something out, be careful as you might not like the answer. At home, telling your lover just how wonderful he is will boost his passion and satisfy your libido.

SCORPIO
It's time to be with as many different types of people as possible so that you can learn as well as share your thoughts and philosophies. A sense of humour will make your criticism easier for him to handle; or, better still, keep negative comments to yourself.

SAGITTARIUS
Are you trying to do too much? When you don’t manage to finish you get worried which makes it difficult to rest. This brings on stress which causes you to accomplish even less - a vicious circle. Take time out to rest, breathe, exercise and laugh! Will your man’s common- sense approach help?

CAPRICORN
You like taking the lead, so join friends and groups where you can communicate your ideas, stimulate your mind and keep yourself busy. Creative hobbies and artistic pursuits will help you express your feelings in your love life, and romance is in the air.

AQUARIUS
If you’ve been keeping your feelings bottled up from your family or partner, they could easily explode today. Secrets will come pouring out, and it's better if you dissipate this energy with decorating, gardening or other physical work. Your love-life could be a battleground too – make up with a bit of unruly sex.

PISCES
Please be careful when driving this month. Your nervous system is highly charged at the moment, and your mind is sharp and you are ready for battle with your siblings, neighbours and anyone else who crosses you. With luck, your lover will teach you patience.

ARIES
Now is the time for action if you want to reach your financial goals. Ask for advice from the experts – the more you know, the better equipped you are to deal with changing markets. Be practical. Love-wise, there is enough drama to satisfy even you.

Use your intuition – it will bring great insight into what you really want from life. You are full of energy, and able to take quick decisions whilst keeping everyone happy. Love-wise, you are attracted to an exciting new man, and passion and romance are on the cards.

GEMINI
Being as practical and down to earth as possible will save you a lot of angst, especially over your financial resources. Try not to be too materialistic. Love-wise, you probably want to abandon yourself to love, even if you have to keep it secret. Music will bring solace.

CANCER

Your social life could take up a lot of your time, and you enjoy being with a crowd of your friends. Work-wise, your energy and urge to get things done livens up business meetings, making them productive and successful. He has to be both carnal as well as entertaining.

LEO
You are known for your style, and now you show both status and power as your career gets going. You don’t mind changing your plans, but your co-workers may get upset and you need a harmonious workplace. Love-wise, he must match your ambition.

VIRGO
You have a sudden urge to get away, have an adventure or do something entirely different with your life. Your latest lover might be from a different country or culture, and you're exposed to new types of food and new philosophies. There is a lot of potential for growth, and sex isn’t the focus.

LIBRA
You are more caring than usual and want to do something about it, whether it's looking after the poor or giving money to someone who needs it. However, this is an exchange and not a gift – what will they do for you? 'Progressive' is the word for your sex life.

SCORPIO
If you find your man is not faithful and totally devoted to you, there could be an explosion of anger, and passion is uppermost. Use it to assert yourself where necessary, like standing up for others, but making sure you use charm and kindness.

SAGITTARIUS
A sudden headache might hit you today, especially if you're working too hard or too quickly – take extra care on the road. At work, you’ll want perfection which extends to your personal life where you’ll want to look fantastic. Take care with hair, make-up and what you wear.

CAPRICORN
You are very creative today, but probably extremely competitive too. You don’t want to upset your co-workers or friends, so try to cool it a bit. Get rid of angst by playing sport or exercise. You embark on romance with the same enthusiasm. Sex is imaginative.

AQUARIUS
It's time to shake off your upbringing and your traditions, and try something new and innovative; something that shows the world just who you are. You might have to expend your frustrations in vigorous exercise before going home as you just don’t want tension there. In love, you need laughter.

PISCES
He might be your best friend, but could also turn out to be your best lover, too. You are studying and learning new things all the time – don’t expect every detail to sink in immediately. Your mind is sharp, but think before you speak!

ARIES
It's time to go after everything you want with courage and initiative. Money and possessions make you feel secure, and give you the feeling of strength and power. You probably feel more sensual than sexual at the moment, and - as usual for Aries – your life is not short on drama.

17 May 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/17-may-2011 TAURUS
Avoid arguments between you and your partner or you and your mother as the Full Moon makes them into a no-win situation. Full Moons are very beautiful, but do bring tension. Later, as the Moon moves into Sagittarius you’ll be more sensitive to the emotional undercurrents.

GEMINI
Your ego could damage your relationship with co-workers, so take care when asserting yourself. You might not feel your best, but try not to feel sorry for yourself. Instead, get some exercise or throw yourself into work. You’ll feel a lot better later, and be ready for anything.

CANCER
The Full Moon is never easy for you, Ms Cancer. Your organizational abilities could come under fire from business associates, and even from your friends. Don’t overreact, just step back a little. The Moon moves into Sagittarius tonight, and lively love-making will bring relief from all your troubles.

LEO
There could be tension between you and an authority figure - anyone from your boss, father to a traffic officer. This could make you question whether or not your life is going in the direction you want - don’t overreact. Retail therapy will help ease your emotions.

VIRGO
You want to go it alone today and your competitive spirit takes over, making you go all out to win. Not everyone will appreciate your need to give your opinion, so expect some opposition. A travel plan could be delayed. Love-wise, don’t say too much.

LIBRA
Money matters could make you very critical this Full Moon, and very demanding of your partner as well as at your place of work. You have charm, so use it – but don’t use flattery in order to get your way. A medical emergency could arise.

SCORPIO
The Taurus Full Moon affects your love life, and just when you want love and romance to flourish, you're feeling tense and unwilling to compromise. Try not to be stubborn, but listen to his side of the argument. Later, as the Moon moves on, erotic sex conquers all.

SAGITTARIUS
Pride goes before a fall – in other words, watch your ego when talking to co-workers, employees and even your boss. It's good to take pride in your work and efficiency, but don’t criticize everyone else for not having your high standards. Love-wise, your favourite man will make everything right again.

CAPRICORN

You want your life to be more creative, fun and inspiring for yourself and everyone around you, so boring everyday responsibilities and tasks become totally tedious. You have to see them through, so try not to let tension make them even worse. Let your man bring some glamour into your life later.

AQUARIUS

An argument between you and a member of your family makes you tense, and while you might think you are giving loving support and advice, it actually comes across as arrogance. Relax – it's just the Full Moon. Tonight the Moon moves into Sagittarius, so you can expect some sexy fun.

PISCES
You are full of ideas, but you aren't the only one worth pursuing, so keep an open mind. You could also find that no-one wants to listen to you because of your attitude. The Full Moon says, just take it easy and tomorrow will be much better. Later, fantastic sex eases tension.

ARIES
Overspending is one of the ways you try to deal with the insecurity of the Full Moon, but this could easily backfire, making you lose the co-operation and even affection of those around you. Tonight, though, the Moon moves into Sagittarius, and your man will lighten the mood.

GEMINI
The passion and intensity are there, but he seems a bit slow for you today. Perhaps you should look at what makes you tick rather than blaming him for not being as imaginative as you. Use your intuition – you’ll soon see if you are on the right track money-wise.

CANCER
Your love life is carnal, mind-blowing and very, very sexual. Take a break with friends if it all becomes too much. Group discussions are lively and harmonious with everyone listening and approving of what you say and do, and you bond well with your colleagues and associates.

SCORPIO
You need a man who is intellectually stimulating, passionate and as intense as you are. If he doesn’t live up to your expectations you’ll probably try to transform him and remake him in the image you want. Keep a sense of humour. Love is a little obsessive.

SAGITTARIUS
You seem so busy with your work and with making money that it is vital you allocate sufficient time to the things that really matter. You will soon recover from worry and stress. Bold, brassy sex will satisfy.

Your mom is worrying about you, so put her mind at rest. You might have different opinions to your man, but things are hot in bed.

LIBRA
One minute hot and passionate, the next distant and cool – no wonder your man is scared you’ll drift off. Let him lift you beyond your usual expectations. If you spend too much time on the web you’ll suffer netlag, so make sure you get enough sleep.

15 May 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/15-may-2011 TAURUS
Watch your temper today! Mars is in your sign, encouraging you to take everything into your own hands - but you could lose it if no-one listens. Love is passionate and highly sexual, but will it last? Not if you shout at him.

GEMINI
For once you are happy just to be with him rather than dashing from one social event to another, but intensity could be a problem in the long-term. Health-wise, you seem a bit delicate, as if you can’t cope. Try a few early nights and more exercise.

CANCER
A happy social life, friends and a new romantic interest – this is turning out to be one of the best days all month and will only get better tomorrow. Cool it with business colleagues if you want to keep your career on the up. Listen to your father.

LEO
Between your career and your home life there is so much intensity that you really need a break. Success is yours, but at what price? Take it slowly – you are on a winning streak, so you don’t need to push so hard! Love-wise, he is very supportive of your goals but do you have the energy for his sexual needs today?

VIRGO
You have so much energy to expend that no-one else can keep up, though the outlook is good for an overseas trip. Today, local travel is more important, both to teach others and to learn new ideas. He seems to be teaching you some interesting new tricks – exciting!

LIBRA
Passion rules and you might even totally give in to his desires which is unusual for charming, but tough Ms Libra… You are even more emotional than usual, and a little jealous. Finances need a lot of attention – don’t ignore, but take expert advice.

SCORPIO
Have you rushed into a highly intense, passionate relationship, and totally dismissed caution and sense? If you aren’t careful your health could suffer. Don’t get angry with those who try to give advice: listen for once.

SAGITTARIUS
You are still enjoying yourself and having fun socializing, but it is more important now that you also take time out to recover from your late nights so that your work doesn’t suffer. There is a lot to get through, and you won’t achieve anything if you're too tired. In love you want more commitment.

CAPRICORN
You need a man who will love, nurture and heal you – someone who’ll make your life better and help you succeed. Is there such a man? Well, at least have fun while searching for him – laughter eases all pain. Romance is there, but is it the real deal?

AQUARIUS
Although your home and family are the most important things at the moment, over these next few days a career issue takes centre stage. Balance and old-fashioned hard work will be needed, especially if your ambition is to climb the corporate ladder. Your man should give total support.

PISCES
Despite being one of the best days all month, it is all very emotional so make sure you have a box of tissues handy for those lows. Talk rather than sulk, and laugh more than cry. You can accomplish a lot if you put your mind to it. A warm, scented bath by candlelight will renew your spirits.

ARIES
You are in the mood for hot, passionate and intense lovemaking but as you are working far too hard, pushing for as much money as possible, you overreact and you could easily explode with anger. Your man will hot-foot it away as fast as he can – beware!

Pluto, your love planet, suggests you are attracting a special man from overseas or a different country or culture from your own. Watch your body language - and his. Don’t let jealousy spoil the day; just be your usual, feminine self.

GEMINI
Your love planet is still telling you that your lover should also be your best friend, but you are in the mood for a new romance, excitement and sexual fun. Work-wise you need a more spiritual, charitable approach rather than just being out to make money.

CANCER
You're in the mood for sexual experimentation and something new to satisfy your libido, but would prefer this to be in safety of your own home. Your conscience nags you a little when you consider what your parents would think. A business associate has something important to say at work.

LEO
Your career is key all month, and today has some interesting questions that need to be asked and answered, so be ready to learn and pass on your knowledge. It's a good day to purchase a new computer or other electronic equipment. If you play too hard to get, he’ll just move on…

VIRGO
An overseas trip or further studies could be on offer for you, but you have to get your finances in order first. You're very organized so all you have to do is get your facts and figures down on paper. Love-wise, if he isn’t falling over himself with passion, is he worth the effort?

LIBRA
Your love life could explode into an erotic battle which leaves you totally exhausted, but at the end you’ll emerge stronger and ready to take on the world. It is time to do some research regarding both your career and your finances. Don’t take it all for granted.

SCORPIO
A new business partnership could be on offer so investigate and negotiate contracts with enthusiasm, but make sure it fulfils all your needs from the financial to the spiritual aspects if you want success. You can't seem to see eye to eye today. Spend time with friends instead.

SAGITTARIUS

Don’t limit yourself at work, in your daily responsibilities or in your love life. You can do anything, and have it all. Love-wise, you aren’t a shrinking violet - how does he handle your frank comments? He’d better not play any games today.

CAPRICORN
Is it worth gambling with your career aspirations? You're tempted, but be careful. If everything crumbles around you, your family will be supportive, but expect criticism. Channel your self-confidence in your love life, and turn it into something even more amazing than you had imagined.

AQUARIUS
Something or someone is making your libido buzz with excitement – it could be a stranger, the thought of an exotic holiday or even a spiritual event. Don’t ignore your family and home life, especially if you have responsibilities.

PISCES
Finances need to be sorted out today, especially if there is any confusion or uncertainty. Don’t procrastinate - sort them now while it's easy for you to talk and communicate your feelings. You need for facts and figures. If there isn’t enough passion, just swim away…

ARIES
Not even Saturn can keep your wild sex life in check today - just follow your heart. If not your heart, then follow your libido instead! Finances need more of your time and consideration. This will happen through your career but also through the help of friends and business associates.

13 May 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/13-may-2011 TAURUS
Love-wise you may take time to warm up, but once you do there is almost over-the-top self-expression. Anything goes - let's just hope he’s in the same mode. At work you are more competitive and even a little aggressive as you know what you want and how to get it. Good communication skills are imperative.

GEMINI
You’ll have to think quickly, using all your imagination if you don’t want others (especially your man) to know your secrets. Luckily, he seems to follow your lead today, and if he’s ready to follow your vision, life will be easy.

CANCER
Spend time today making your home as beautiful as possible - it's food for the soul. Then, invite friends over. Work with, not against your colleagues for the best results. You are able to think clearly and make really good decisions. In love, your vivaciousness stimulates your man. Lucky you!

LEO
Always ready for fun, use your imagination to bring new life into your work and career. Chat to colleagues and business associates using inner strength, charm and co-operation. One of your parents needs your advice, while a few compliments will get your man aroused.

VIRGO
You might think your man is taking liberties, either with your money or because he doesn’t share your priorities. You can sway him into your way of thinking, but do this through charm and conviction rather than threatening to leave. Is it time for tough love?

LIBRA
It's one of those days where love, passion and sex all seem very urgent and wonderfully erotic, and you're ready for taking a few risks. Even logic flies out of the window. Finance-wise, it's time to collect money owed to you and to pay all your bills.

SCORPIO
A lot of health issues crop up. It's probably nothing serious, but don’t overdo anything, including how much medication you are taking. Get checked out by a medical professional if in doubt. The same goes for social drug-taking - Scorpio does not need them. If you and your man are at cross purposes, ask yourself why.

SAGITTARIUS

You and your man seem to agree on everything as far as your work goes, but what about his? Is he pulling his weight? Business meetings will go well today if you keep it real and stick to the facts. New romantic opportunities are there, and you might also meet some new friends.

CAPRICORN
Matters to do with your career as well as your home are weighing on you today, and you’d love to forget security and responsibility and just give in to romance. But, career issues call so use all your creative inspiration to turn your work life into something entertaining.

AQUARIUS
A break overseas would certainly ease any tensions at home or to do with property, but do you have the time? Take a weekend break locally instead - it will make you feel a lot better! You and your man are on the same intellectual and sexual levels, but is there any emotion?

PISCES
You want someone to talk to, and to listen to your emotional ramblings about passion and love, but what you really need is someone to talk to about your financial affairs. You need good advice on how to rake in any money owed to you and how to get your debts paid off. Your lover will help you escape, but this won’t do you any favours.

ARIES
Just hope your man can satisfy you today because finding sexual excitement elsewhere is no problem for Ms Aries. As long as you take the lead all should be well. Financially, this is a very strong month, so don’t do anything to stop the flow.

12 May 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/12-may-2011 TAURUS
Look after your body. Taureans are usually voluptuous rather than skinny, so you probably have difficulty keeping the kilos off, especially when you over-indulge. Get your diet and exercise regime right. If you've had enough of selfish men, a Virgo will appreciate your qualities.

GEMINI
Your home will have all the latest electronic communication gadgets, but the kitchen may be sparse as you prefer to go out for dinner or get a takeaway. This could be an unusually emotional day for you, and it might not be an easy one. You’ll achieve more on your own, which won’t please your man.

CANCER
Let’s face it, you thrive when making money. Today, communication is key and you need your colleagues and business associates to cooperate. Don’t let emotions interfere with your common sense, and try not to get into arguments with your associates. Also, try to avoid arguments with your man as he finds this a real turn-off.

LEO
It's vital that you share the same values and views on life with your man, and money and your career are the most important issues this month. When you boost and promote your man he succeeds, and the spin-off is that your love life buzzes.

VIRGO
The Moon in your sign makes you more critical and discerning, but you want true love to bring out the romantic in you. You might come across as too much of a perfectionist, so stop talking too much - especially in bed.

LIBRA
Intensity is the name of the game for you today, and it makes you feel quite uncomfortable. You thrive when everything is light, fun and romantic, but can you handle dealing with issues to do with death, inheritances or the payment of debts? Your man seems to understand which is very comforting.

SCORPIO
You feel good when helping your man reach his full potential, but in return for this you expect total love, faithfulness, devotion. If he doesn’t, you’ll probably move on. Don’t take revenge, though - just let him go. Work, friends and a new lover will take your mind off past regrets.

SAGITTARIUS
New job offers and creative ideas all help expand your horizons and liven up your daily routine. You might have to make a decision quickly, so make sure you have all the answers. Love-wise, you have too much on your mind to really be interested.

CAPRICORN
Your ideas on your ideal home or property are widening, and you want to be seen as someone of substance who is modern and up-to-date. Your creative skills are at their highest, so use them - and don’t spend more money than you can afford. Love-wise, this is quite an exciting time.

AQUARIUS
The best way to lighten your heavy emotions is to be with friends and groups who share your interests, and are ready to chat, laugh and keep your spirits high. Sex-wise, you thrive when love-making is straightforward and fun.

PISCES
Love seems to be the real thing, and you want to talk to him about everything, even using physical expression to put your views across. This is a busy time for you as you seem to be permanently on the move, teaching, learning, chatting - and making money.

ARIES
You could lose your temper, especially with your man if he isn’t helping you achieve your money-making aims. Finances are getting better by the day, and today you need to ensure that you are organized and know everything that is going on, and that you don’t get over-tired. You have no time for love.

11 May 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/11-may-2011 TAURUS
As Mars moves into your sign you will start to feel more energetic, impatient, restless and wanting to make your life the way you want it to be. Your vision becomes clearer as you see the end results and figure out how to make them your reality. In love, do you need to be more giving and less controlling?

GEMINI
Mars moving into Taurus makes you more secretive and not wanting everyone to know what you're up to. It's time to use your inner strength in a positive way, perhaps working with a charity or helping someone who is ill. Love means laughter which, for you, could mean you are in it for the long-term.

CANCER
Instead of thinking about it, it's time to take a more active role in your life and in that of your friends, clubs and business associates. You know what you want and how to get it. Co-operation is the key to your happiness now. In love, you are in teaching mode – lucky him!

LEO
It is time to promote yourself and your career ambitions because your actions now will have great impact on your future. Put yourself in the public eye, and make sure you are seen and heard in the right places. Have faith: you can do it! You need your man’s support, and the two of you shine together.

VIRGO
You are inspired in so many different ways that it's hard for you to know which direction to take. Follow your heart and your passion for further study, foreign languages, international travel, writing or publishing. Your love-life seems more stimulating, and lust calls.

LIBRA
You will be more intense and passionate about everything you do now that Mars has moved into Taurus. Property, shared resources (both relationship and business) become more important than usual, and you could receive an inheritance. Confrontation stimulates your love life.

SCORPIO
Mars is energizing your relationships in love as well as in business, and new ventures and partnerships will be entered into with enthusiasm. You want and need others around you, but you aren't very good at listening. You might fall in love at first sight, but will he fulfil your insatiable appetite?

SAGITTARIUS
Mars is energizing your everyday work responsibilities and bringing new enthusiasm, and there is the possibility of a business trip or the opportunity to do some extra studying. There are still important things happening at home with your family; don’t neglect your man or your own needs.

CAPRICORN
Mars is bringing new energy to all aspects of your life, and telling you that now is the time to pursue whatever you find pleasurable whether it's a holiday, developing your creative talents or bringing new romance and love into your life. Don’t be too capricious if you want your man to stay.

AQUARIUS
Your family and your home are the main focus of Mars moving into Taurus, and you may decide to purchase a property, renovate or decorate your present home. A home-based business venture is given a boost. Love is lively, demanding, big and bold.

PISCES
As Mars joins the Sun in Taurus you are busy, busy, busy, and will accomplish everything you set out to do. The trouble is you have far too many new ideas. Even your love life has no restraints - just don’t get over-tired. Give yourself time to relax or you’ll suffer burn-out.

ARIES
Your personal planet, Mars, moves into Taurus bringing even more financial inspiration and energy, and is getting stronger every day this month. Use your creative talents, but don’t forget to listen to advice from experts – the more knowledge you have, the better. Love at first sight? Beware.

10 May 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/10-may-2011 TAURUS
You can turn acquaintances into friends today by your participation in community affairs, the way you interact and your willingness to compromise – even when faced with changes in schedules and plans. In your love life you find it easier to let your real feelings show.

GEMINI
Today is about communication - talking, sharing ideas with friends and neighbours and at your local sports or social club. The larger the gathering, the happier you’ll be. Don’t dismiss ideas that upset your normal thinking; try to take a broader perspective. He gets your attention when he makes you laugh.

CANCER
A business meeting, with finance as a main topic, needs your good judgment and positive outlook. Encourage everyone to compromise and agree. Everything is in your favour today – money, career and your love life – and life is more than usually magical!

LEO
Your career aspirations get a boost from the way you show your leadership qualities, and how you explain your vision and readiness to teach as well as learn new ideas and technologies. Don’t get over-tired. Your love life looks good – as long as you keep your ego under control.

VIRGO
An overseas trip or holiday is very much on your mind, but your finances need to be sorted first. Do you have things you no longer want, and that could be sold? Clear your home of unwanted possessions and your mind will get sharper too. In love, you are far sexier than you portray.

LIBRA
Love and passion rule this month, but today spending time with friends and social groups will probably fulfil a different need. Saturn tells you to look after yourself first, so examine your personal image, diet and exercise plan. Love-wise, you are ready for battle.

SCORPIO

Although love is always a serious matter for you, today it is your work, career and business partnerships that need Scorpio’s input. Take in the full picture rather than only seeing what you want to see. Be positive, ready to compromise and change course if necessary.

SAGITTARIUS
A trip is almost a necessity and, single Sagittarian, you could meet someone new for a fun rather than serious affair. Your judgment is good, so use it! At work, your life will be much easier when you work with your colleagues, and are ready to agree and compromise.

CAPRICORN

Not only is your career working well, you are enjoying everything you do. Use your creative talents, and see how much money will roll in. Your family is more than usually supportive, especially if you are setting up a business from home. Love is fun, and maybe more than a bit naughty…

AQUARIUS
Are you more than usually demanding of your man? Be subtle about it… He is probably quite independent, possibly even distant, so you can’t suddenly demand his total attention. At work, share your ideas in a friendly, generous way – you’ll really benefit financially.

PISCES

The focus is on your daily work and responsibilities, and the more you work in a spirit of compromise and harmony, the better will be your financial return. Dreaming is one thing, while working and achieving is quite another. Your love life looks exhausting, but also a lot of fun.

ARIES
Use all your creative, imaginative ideas if you want to make the money you need. You don't hold back when it comes to shopping and living the good life. You need more than sex today – you're after love, romance and a lot of laughs.

9 May 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/9-may-2011 TAURUS
If there is an argument with your man or your boss over who is right and who will give way first, find safety at home and with your family. Let your mother provide the comfort and support, even if you are in the wrong.

GEMINI
There could be an argument, and you become more emotional than you would like to. Stick to the facts, and be ready to compromise if that will keep the peace and make your life more enjoyable. In love, you need a strong, stable relationship - with some freedom, of course.

CANCER

Stability, with long-term commitment and shared values, is your dream. You’ll be disappointed if he's too controlling, and you might have to change your mind (or his). If you’ve had a disagreement with your father, this is the time to sort it out.

LEO
Success is assured in your career today, as long as you avoid too many battles of will with your colleagues - and inner battles too. Be careful when working on the computer as you could put in inaccurate data. In love, rough-and-tough satisfies.

VIRGO
You don’t want to show your feelings as they are probably too intense and passionate for you to cope with. It's best to stick to lively love-making until your emotions can settle. Don’t let jealousy damage a good relationship. A trip away will help - together if possible.

LIBRA
Love is how you like it, with two people meeting on equal terms and inspiring and motivating each other’s career aspirations. The same goes for love-making which should be fun and light without too much depth of emotion. It's easy to make money for your favourite charity, so go for it.

SCORPIO
Work and career are still the main issues, and there is so much to get through that you could become exhausted. Your love life is another story where you want it all, including the excitement you crave. If you don't get it, you’ll just lose interest and walk away.

SAGITTARIUS
Your heart says the time is ripe for a romantic getaway, but your head tells you to remember your career. Love and romance are calling for a break from your heavy schedule, but you know you’ll only get ill if you neglect anything. This is a dilemma only you can solve.

CAPRICORN
You are in stylish, snobbish mode, wanting you and your man to be seen in all the coolest places, and to rise up the corporate ladder as quickly as possible. Love-wise, though, is there any real emotion or togetherness? Sex is OK, but is there passion?

AQUARIUS
Some radical ideas for your home might not be that easy for your man or your family to get their heads around. This means you’ll have to explain in great detail exactly what you plan to do. Expect some opposition, and to be ready to compromise if necessary. Love is inspired.

PISCES
You want to keep your love and romance going, but sometimes it can be quite tough, especially if he doesn’t understand your need for romance and your need for space. Just when he thinks he’s got it, you slip away into the depths. Communicate!

ARIES

Have you done it again - fallen in love with that 'perfect' man? If he doesn't live up to your expectations, you’ll fall out of love quickly enough. Your finances are improving daily, so use your creative skills to make even more money. Just ensure that you look and dress according to whatever image you want to portray.

8 May 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/8-may-2011 TAURUS
If you feel a bit stressed today, blame Saturn! Try to balance your needs for comfort and warm friendship with your need to achieve at work so that you don’t feel confused and over-emotional. Participating in charity events will help. In love, just be your usual feminine self.

GEMINI
Spending more than you really can afford brings emotional comfort, but the worry of paying off a credit card might not be worth it. Better for you to visit friends, play sport or work out at the gym. You still seem more moody than usual, with Saturn putting the dampener on romance.

CANCER
It's still the weekend, and a great day for staying in bed late (where you feel safest), catching up on household chores and inviting family and friends over for lunch. A member of your family might try to influence your decisions. Don’t resent it - just listen.

LEO
More than usually restless, you are being challenged by some new, innovative ideas which could affect your long-term career goals. Investigate, listen and expand your views. Even your love life has you thinking more about your partner than yourself.

VIRGO
Finances are still an issue, so make sure you pay your debts and your credit card. If you need a loan, now is the time – use all the contacts and influence you have. Love is still passionate and intense, though today you are softer and more gentle than usual.

LIBRA
You have more access to other people’s money, whether it's your lover’s, loans from the bank or the organization where you work. Your career prospects look good, but commitment is needed, even though you may dislike too many responsibilities. In love, take your power.

SCORPIO
You enjoy erotic love-making, so go for it now. Just make sure your heart doesn’t get damaged when you rush into a new relationship. A new business partnership could work well, too – get legal advice if necessary. Don’t get over-tired with all the daily responsibilities and demands of your job.

SAGITTARIUS
You seem to be earning the right money for the job – even if you think it should be double. Saturn is not encouraging your colleagues and friends to be as helpful as you’d like, either, so use all your creative talents to get round restrictions. Love-wise, you are passionate but perhaps a little too emotional.

CAPRICORN
Your personal planet, Saturn, is telling you to find a balance between your romantic life and your career at the moment as you could be neglecting your work. Find a comfortable middle middle-ground. Your family provides comfort, and will listen to your problems too.

AQUARIUS
You may have to face up to past disappointments at work or to do with your education. Now is the time to change the past, study and use your talents and abilities. In other words, move on! You feel more emotional than usual, but don’t wallow in it. Sex feels frenzied.

PISCES
If you feel that everyone is trying to impose their will on to you, it's time to use your creative powers and ability to communicate to tell them exactly what you think and what you are going to do - in the nicest possible way, of course. Love-wise, are you both a bit too emotional at the moment?

ARIES
It is no good running home because your love life isn’t fulfilling - be proactive! When love is right, it's almost mind-blowing. Your finances look good and are getting better by the day, so take the time to think about your investments and consider what to do next.

7 May 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/7-may-2011 TAURUS
You just want to be loved, and warm, tender loving makes you feel soft and feminine. Sadly, this could all just be fantasy. Luckily you can talk to him and discuss your needs as well as his in an intuitive, insightful way. Be strong.

GEMINI
You should keep quiet about a certain financial matter which is almost impossible for Gemini. But you can be secretive about your own affairs, almost to the point of deceit. Talk to an expert about investments. You're too moody to really enjoy love today.

CANCER
It's time to move forward, not sideways. You are in the public eye with your creative talents, charm and cleverness. Just make sure you dress the part, and are ready to take on whatever star role you are offered. In love, anything goes – you make the rules.

LEO
An opportunity could come up for you to take your creative talents to a higher level, perhaps through study or a job offer. It's hard to let go of preconceived ideas, but when you open your mind, the world opens to you. You know he’s manipulating you, but do you care?

VIRGO
You need your man to be your best friend as you travel, widen your horizons and search for new spiritual experiences. You seem to be on the same wave-length at the moment over money matters. Don’t use emotional blackmail to get your own way with him, though.

LIBRA
You need him to keep you up-beat, laughing and ready to let your passion flow. You are in romantic mode, and enjoy buying little gifts for him. Think about what you want for the future and not just today.

SCORPIO
You want to get away as you are feeling a bit smothered, but find it difficult to actually let go long enough to make the move. Is this because you are enjoying your love relationship, but are just a bit scared of commitment? Instead of giving yourself a headache, give yourself time.

SAGITTARIUS
You find it quite difficult to understand yourself today with so many emotions running deep that you feel like taking off and just getting away. Give romance a chance to blossom. Use your creative talents to make it fun as well as erotic.

CAPRICORN
You are in the mood for love and romance, turning your man into a real soul-mate. Love-making is more about comfort than passion. The demands of your family and home still seem to overwhelm everything else. You have the creative ideas, but perhaps not the will.

AQUARIUS
Your love life could be quite serious, as if you are being called on to make a commitment. Ideas are flowing, and you are in contact with everyone who matters. But, what is going on in your heart? Don’t get overtired or ill through worrying about it.

PISCES

It's time to go beyond your usual limitations, so reach for the sky. Bread and water alone won’t satisfy you – you need ambrosia; in other words, use your creative talents to satisfy your vision. The same goes for your love life which has to be intense and almost spiritual.

ARIES
If you find it hard to let go of an old lover, what are you going to do about it? A magical sexual fling will help, but you must be very careful. You could also spend money on your home and family, perhaps wielding a paint-brush or sewing new curtains. Physical exercise also works.

6 May 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/6-may-2011 TAURUS
Normally quite introverted, this is the time to take control of your life and use your courage to shape your life as you want it to be. Using your creative talents in charity or community work brings success. Tell your favourite man how you feel, but show him too.

GEMINI
You need to be where it's all going on, and you surround yourself with friends, socials events and business meetings. This isn’t the time for low self-esteem; just get on with it, and Jupiter will provide you with the self-confidence you need. If love is boring, move on.

CANCER
You need your man to keep you excited, interested and entertained, and to be someone who will help you lighten up and take your mind off your emotional traumas. At work, talk to your boss or someone close about your personal aspirations. Use your self-confidence to take you where you want to be.

LEO
It's still time to be out there making new friends and contacts out of the ‘right’ kind of people – those who can help you up a few notches on the corporate ladder. Your commitment to your family could overshadow everything else. Balance is needed, but your man seems to understand this already.

VIRGO
If you are looking for a loan to study further, travel or for your business, now is the time as the planets are smiling on you. Just ensure that you have all your facts and figures, as well as an air of confidence. Be brave, bold and mature. In love, which of you is willing to compromise?

LIBRA
Most of the planets are insisting on intense passion and committed love, but you could have a few doubts today. It seems you want some freedom to travel and widen your perspective on life. You don’t want drama, but it might be hard to avoid.

SCORPIO
Circumstances at work suggest success, as long as you are generous and self-confident. Make sure your office space is beautiful, calm and peaceful. Decorate if necessary, or at least bring in a pot-plant. At home there is passion, love and lots of lust.

SAGITTARIUS
There could be romance, flirtation and love on the cards, but you know that you have deadlines and work that has to be completed. If you neglect it, you’ll only get ill. Organize yourself, make notes and don’t procrastinate. Too much self-indulgence is a no-no at the moment.

CAPRICORN
Using your creative talents at home will make your life more pleasurable, and you’ll feel like entertaining or at least inviting friends home for a coffee. Let these same talents spill over into your work and that will become easier too. In love, don’t feel guilty, just enjoy!

AQUARIUS
Love, romance and understanding – is this a match made in heaven? If not, get out now unless you are prepared to accept second best. Use all the charm and humour you have, especially if there is a dispute with neighbours or one of your siblings.

PISCES
Talk about your personal finances. Does your special man share your values? If this is a long- term relationship, the more you are on the same wavelength, the easier it will be. You enjoy a complicated love-life. Remember, it's very important that he makes you laugh.

ARIES
Your decisiveness wins the day for you, so take the leading role with charm and confidence and your finances will improve big time. Love-wise, you don’t want anything too serious. Laugh, chat and have your own private party - with no inhibitions.

Focus on friendships and participate in community affairs today. Your love life could be a bit unsettling, so control your emotions especially if finance is involved. Actually, money matters could also make you feel unsettled so don’t make any major decisions. Your love life is as extravagant – as is your shopping.

After needing to be free to move around, network, travel and study you now want a more serious and long-term career. Talk to your colleagues, network and call up friends and acquaintances who can help you. Your man supporting your long-term aspirations is a turn-on.

VIRGO
You’ve been worried about what others will say, and whether or not they’ll support your career aspirations by lending or giving you the money to study and broaden your horizons. Now it's up to you to get organized. A parental figure has something important to say. Love is moody and fickle, but fun!

PISCES
Communication is the key, especially with members of your family you haven’t seen or phoned recently. A sibling may need your advice, or you could be after his words of wisdom. Arranging finance for the purchase of a property could well work out for you today. Love would be fun, if you only had the time…

ARIES
It is all about having as much fun as possible, both with friends and in bed. It seems to be party time – but you do have to think of tomorrow, however boring that might sound. Be slightly more sensible in your approach and you’ll be fine.

GEMINI
Let friends and business contacts take up your time today as you successfully network. Love-wise, the evening starts off well as he is unusually sensitive and strong. But, as you get bored easily, you’d better think up something exciting to keep you interested. In the meantime, enjoy the fact that he’s a good friend.

CANCER
You are even less inclined than usual to follow the crowd. You may look sweet and innocent, but you know your own mind and exactly what you want. When spending some time alone with your man, the question is whether you will laugh more than cry.

LEO
Beautiful Leo woman, you are in the mood for entertaining, visiting business associates and making exciting new contacts to take your career up a notch or two. Participate in social events where you’ll meet new people. You are not in the mood to be bored.

VIRGO

You know you should be concentrating on your daily work routine, but the thought of your love life is so enticing that you make the time for both. Saturn tells you that friendship is more important than romance, but is it?

CAPRICORN
You desperately need some romance in your life, but your career and work are taking precedence. There is a slightly guilty frisson of excitement concerning your love-life, but you still want to be in charge.

AQUARIUS
Your family are calling for your attention, but does your home need you more? This is a good time to think about décor, renovations and doing some much-needed repair work before winter sets in. However, emotionally, it is your romantic life that sets the pace. Let's hope your stamina is up to it.

ARIES

You can’t decide between total freedom and staying home with your man who is a great listener today. This is a very good time to sort out real estate and property problems as there is more chance of success now.

PISCES
You and your man seem to speak with one voice now, or at least you’re able to persuade him to do what you want. You are the consummate actress – what role are you playing today? It’s a good time to develop your skills and talents and to get involved in community affairs.

ARIES
Your personal planet, Mars, joins Jupiter so that you’ll win any ethical or moral argument. Your finances are improving by the day, and you should start to see huge progress as long as you stick to your principles and values. He’d better have sufficient staying power tonight.

2 May 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/2-may-2011 TAURUS
Your elusive beauty shines even more with the Moon in your own sign, and radiates through everything you do. You need your man to lavish you with attention and appreciate everything about you. At work, group energy is the key to your success today.

GEMINI
With both the Sun and the Moon in Taurus, you are gaining inner strength and a greater determination to succeed at everything you do. Use this energy to focus and keep the end-result in your mind. You need your man to be as sensitive and as strong as you are, and to be a friend more than a lover.

CANCER

The Sun and Moon together suggest you need a steady man in your life; someone who complements your needs. Even if he hasn’t got that much of an imagination, you can teach him more than a few sexual skills to satisfy your needs. Don’t go it alone at work – colleagues and associates are ready to help.

LEO
The combination of both Sun and Moon in Taurus suggests you should assess your long-term ambitions – are you making progress? Having huge sexual heat between you and your man is fantastic, but is he holding you back? Get the balance right, and the sky is your limit...

VIRGO
You love the idea of a long-term commitment, but is there that nagging thought that you are missing out on something – the call of freedom, travel, spreading your wings and flying high? Erotic sex satisfies your libido, but what about your mind?

LIBRA
It is all a bit OTT today, and passions are running so high you feel you might explode. Intensity about everything you do from money matters to your sex life will probably leave you feeling a bit exhausted and flat. Money-wise, don’t do anything that could adversely affect your reputation.

SCORPIO
You have huge influence over everyone today so use this power wisely, with love and understanding; if you go overboard, it’ll only backfire. Business contracts and agreements will be in your favour today. Love is all about who is the more dominant partner – think carefully.

SAGITTARIUS
You and your man both want a lot of attention – do you demand it just from him or from your friends as well? Carrying out your daily responsibilities will be easier if you use as much creativity and imagination as possible. It is a good time to start a new health and fitness regime.

CAPRICORN
At work your creative projects enhance your reputation, though a female colleague could get upset if you take all the credit. The emphasis is on love, romance and humour, and you need a stable relationship to make you really happy.

AQUARIUS
It is all about your home and family today, and the answer lies in good communication which means listening as well as talking, and ‘give’ as well as ‘take’. It also means being ready to compromise. Use an element of surprise in your sex life to keep it exciting.

PISCES
Today is all about your ideas for making money and the flow of information which means listening, talking and discussing before making decisions rather than rushing in and having regrets later. You love the idea of amazing sex, but could get turned off by the reality!

ARIES
Does he appreciate just what a sexual creature you are, and that the missionary position just doesn’t do it for you? Oh well, you’ll just have to teach him. When you get it right the whole world is wonderful. There could be an awkward situation over money – honesty and openness is needed.

1 May 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/1-may-2011 TAURUS
You know exactly what you are doing, so let your self confidence shine rather than allowing Saturn to dampen your enthusiasm. It is still necessary to co-operate, especially over the issue of other people’s money and how is it spent. In love, your fantasy world is more exciting than reality.

GEMINI
Gemini might be the sign of twins, but that doesn’t give you the energy of two people, especially if working through your personal sex encyclopaedia. Does he have the staying power? You need tremendous energy to get through all the networking meetings as well as your social scene. Life is pretty frenetic.

CANCER
Your career and home life are all-consuming as you try to change direction, wanting to give more time to yourself whilst juggling home, family and work responsibilities, and also seeing friends and having a social life. Slow down – it will happen in its own time.

LEO
Your ruler, the Sun, is insisting you pay more attention to your career, but you need to enjoy your life and meet as many new people as possible, widening your horizons and studying as hard as you can. Be absolutely clear about money issues, and don’t jump to wrong conclusions. Love is extravagant.

VIRGO
Try not to be too extravagant, especially if spending other people’s money. Keep receipts, invoices and other important documentation. Is he as ambitious as you’d like him to be? A successful geek is possibly more of a long-term turn-on than someone who's all about looks.

LIBRA
The tension builds, but hopefully into intense passion rather than an argument over something trivial. Just remember that you need your man to be your best friend as well as an exciting sexual partner. As you are the strongest woman in the zodiac he shouldn't be too dominant.

SCORPIO
You want to have more fun and romance in your life, but most of the planets and the Moon are telling you to hang on and finish your work first otherwise you’ll be so stressed you could get ill. You’ll have to think up ways to keep him waiting for you. After all, you are the number one prize.

SAGITTARIUS
Unlike Scorpio today you want to get on with your work, but love and romance are more urgent. Your creative juices are flowing, so use them in every way to make your life more fun. Participating in sports will help keep you fit and bring confidence.

CAPRICORN

Romance is waiting for you, but you must sort out your family and domestic issues first. If there are property matters to be resolved, today is the perfect time. Don’t delay, as you have all the self-confidence and energy you need. In love, fantasy rules.

AQUARIUS
You need to sort out your domestic issues, but first get all the facts and figures at your finger- tips and then discuss it with those concerned before making a decision. If you don't, there could be misunderstandings and arguments. Love is more playful than passionate.

PISCES
Financial luck is with you, but it could be disastrous if you spend too much, waste your money or invest in unwise get-rich-quick schemes. Take it slowly and talk to experts. Even your love life seems rich at the moment – just don’t smother him.

ARIES
You are totally your own woman, in charge of your own actions, following your own values and doing exactly what you want to do today. Just think what this means, though – who is going to take care of your buzzing libido? Perhaps it's time for a little give-and-take?

30 April 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/30-april-2011 TAURUS
You are feeling full of love, and are super-attractive and affectionate. Yet, you still feel slightly inhibited and worried that your overtures will be misinterpreted or misunderstood. You’ll just have to be clear and honest. Whatever you feel is right for you. It's time to take your power.

GEMINI
Your imagination is stimulated so much that you get everything confused. Be clear when talking to business associates and colleagues. Friends are more understanding – as long as you don’t moralise. Love-wise, you are tireless today.

CANCER
Although you’d love to free yourself from some of the responsibilities at work and at home, today you start to worry about them all over again. At least at home you can let your favourite man lighten your load as exciting love-making makes you forget everything else.

LEO
Love is warm and romantic, and you have total power over him today. Keep it that way! Your travel plans might be frustrated by unseen circumstances. This is a nuisance, especially if you have to make some quick changes. Everyone is supporting your career aspirations.

VIRGO
You express yourself openly and honestly, but do you have the full picture or could your imagination be stronger than reality? Get the facts. Love-wise, your intensity and passion are so powerful that they almost overwhelm you, making you want to run away.

LIBRA
On one hand today you want to be practical, serious and are almost inhibited, but on the other you are open to affection and self-indulgence, and needing warmth and love. When there are two opposing emotions, you need that elusive balance. The day will probably end in very wild sex.

SCORPIO

There is so much to get through today that your health could suffer if you don’t have an early night, healthy food and some exercise to give you the boost you need. You’d much rather be basking in love and affection, but there is tension and you seem out of reach.

SAGITTARIUS

You have energy, self confidence and a competitive spirit in everything you do, and are more ready to do some hard work than rely on your gambling instincts and luck to bring in the money. Love-wise, you know exactly how and when to indicate your willingness.

CAPRICORN
You have total faith in your man, but you know that it's your imagination and creative flair that will make your home and family life exactly what you want it to be. You are willing to distance yourself from those don’t share your values. In love, you soar.

AQUARIUS
Computers, electronic devices and all things hi-tech take your interest. There is some travel locally as you talk to neighbours and siblings. Have you just met someone or fallen for a new man? Playful lovemaking will satisfy your libido today.

PISCES
You seem so sweet and demure, but can he see those emotions churning inside, and that you really are attracted to a seriously sexy macho man? Don’t let your imagination run too far – at least keep it within the bounds of possibility. Money-making ideas are experimental, so take care.

ARIES
You seem ready for a good argument, especially if there is a disagreement over money. Saturn is warning that it could affect your relationships. It's not serious – stay just out of reach so he has to work hard to get you back. Sex is more urgent than tender.

29 April 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/29-april-2011 TAURUS
You could feel a bit overwhelmed by everyone else’s emotions. Don’t let anyone or anything from your past upset you – it is time to move on. You might be the woman supporting your man, but you still have to be your own person. Slow, sensual love-making suits you today.

GEMINI
The Sun in Taurus encourages more quiet time to think, meditate and gain more understanding of yourself by joining in group discussions and putting forward your new ideas. You can’t do this alone, and you thrive when there are people around. Is love real or an infatuation?

CANCER
You really feel the need for some excitement in your love life, and for things to be spontaneous and fun. At work you are full of energy and making good money. This is the time to invest rather than just spend. Think carefully before you speak – co-operation at work is necessary.

LEO
Full of personal magnetism, you ooze confidence today. You might be a bit restless and you feel that your world is small and would like new people to come into your life. In the meantime, co-operate with everyone at work. Love-wise, pretending it's a forbidden affair will add spice.

VIRGO
It's fun to pretend that you're still pure and innocent despite being one of the sexiest women in the zodiac! He just loves this about you as he brings out your hidden passion. Your self- confidence is high, so use it to obtain a mortgage or a loan. Have your facts and figures ready.

LIBRA
Love is fun, but be ready for some wild sex if there is any pent-up aggression. At work there could be a moral or ethical problem that needs sorting, especially if money is involved. You need to share and trust, but keep your eyes wide open.

SCORPIO
You seem to be playing hard-to-get today, but if he does attract your attention he’d better watch out. Will he understand your passions, intensity and mood swings? You have loads of new ideas for your work, but are they practical?

SAGITTARIUS

You aren’t in the mood to let him know how much you care, preferring to keep him guessing. If he cares, he’ll be able to read your body language. At work an issue to do with finances needs your input – it’s all about determination to find a solution. Communication is easy today.

CAPRICORN
Independence, freedom and having fun are on the agenda today, so what are you waiting for? Be creative in the way you talk to your family and the man in your life. Singles could easily find a new man, but be careful of being too submissive. Career-wise, use your creative flair.

AQUARIUS
Talk to your family about shared values, discuss property issues and give support and understanding to siblings and neighbours. Use your positive way of talking to find a solution to every situation. The emphasis is still on teaching and learning new skills. Love is erotic.

PISCES
Don’t try keeping your man tied to you – the more freedom you give him, the sooner he’ll be back into your cosy love sanctuary. Finances still look good, but now is the time to look at investments, talk to the experts and gain the necessary knowledge.

ARIES
The pursuit of love becomes even stronger today and you know you can do and have anything your heart desires. Now is the time to decide which direction to take – not forgetting that a healthy bank account is as necessary as a healthy body.

28 April 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/28-april-2011 TAURUS
You feel totally at peace today which makes you very positive about your work and friendships. You’ve been thinking about others and helping the less fortunate and now you can put these ideas into practice, helping make the world the way you want it to be. In your love life, put the emphasis on fun.

GEMINI
After burning the candle at both ends all month and enjoying a busy time socially you feel the need for inner peace. Today the emphasis is on having a career that really means something to you. Love-wise, he has to support your aspirations as well as your libido.

CANCER

Friends and your favourite man all encourage you to follow your dreams. Love-wise, if you are lucky enough to have found a man who pushes you beyond your limitations, go for the long-term. A new business opportunity could come your way.

LEO
After a month of freedom where you travel, study and meet new people you are ready to decide on your long-term future. If you need money, it seems to come to you through your family, friends or your lover. You can accomplish anything now. In love unrestrained passion rules.

VIRGO
You don’t want anyone else around, and feel possessive over your man. But, what is his agenda, and is he fit enough to cope with your sexual needs? The question of a death and inheritance could come up. It is probably no-one close, but it makes you think about the future. Your health gets better all the time.

LIBRA
Your love and social life have been taking up all of your time, but what about money? Not even Libra can live on champagne forever. Luckily, your favourite man seems to be very helpful, both with cash and in helping you build a strong financial foundation.

SCORPIO
It really is time to give yourself a break from all that work. You don’t have to give up all your secrets, just enjoy some laughter and light, playful sex. If you meet that special man, it will probably be a life-changing revelation. Passion looms large.

SAGITTARIUS
Which is it to be – giving yourself up to love and romance with confidence, or using your newfound energy on your home? You can do and have it all. Your competitive spirit brings success in sport as well.

CAPRICORN

Your family are still very important, and you're trying to do the right thing – but do give yourself a break now. It's time to relax, have some fun, and let love and romance into your life again. Your health is getting better, but you still need to watch it a bit.

AQUARIUS
You might not be feeling up to your usual levels of energy, so make sure you have an early night and stick to a healthy diet. Your siblings still need your advice, but your whole family should get involved. Money is the issue today, so don’t overspend. Love is sexual and inspired.

PISCES
Career and finances look great today - take control and everything will work in your favour. The answer is in your communication skills, so leave emotion out. Finance-wise, speak to the experts before you invest. You could receive a bonus or a pay raise.

ARIES
You'll succeed at everything you do today as long as you do it with passion, depth of feeling and for the good of everyone else as well as yourself. Money is starting to flow towards you now as long as you hold onto the right values. In love you feel more feminine than usual.

27 April 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/27-april-2011 TAURUS
Network for yourself as well as for your company but keep your emotions under control. You know what you want for the future, and it is time to go after it. Trusting your friends and lovers will bring happiness and keep jealousy at bay.

GEMINI
You are more emotionally demanding of your man, yet more trusting than usual. The main focus, however, is on your career and you question whether it is fulfilling your highest visions and aspirations. If not, now is the time to do something about it.

CANCER
The Pisces Moon lets you feel and act on your emotions and you will feel lighter and with less baggage, ready to visit friends and have an adventure. Your career focus is changing, and you want more free time to be yourself. You know, on the other hand, that you have to earn to survive. Sex is an ecstatic escape.

LEO
The focus over the next few weeks is on your career and today is all about financial issues, partnerships and whether you have the same goals and values. Is your salary enough for the work you are doing? Your love life seems more intense than usual, and sex is almost ferocious.

VIRGO
Your love life sees you happy and laid-back with good opportunities to meet that special man. Everyone is very generous towards you, and if you need a bank loan, a mortgage or a rise in salary, this is as good a time as any to ask. Health-wise, things are good.

LIBRA
Your love-life seems a bit intense and even obsessive which is not like you at all, and you might have a bit of a tension headache or a hangover. It is easier for you to sort out your finances today, especially if you’ve been over-spending recently.

SCORPIO

There is a lot going on at work which means you could get over-tired. You are in the mood to party, though, and you're socialising more than usual. An opportunity today means you could meet that special man - just make sure you feel up to it.

SAGITTARIUS
You are still very creative, but the focus is on your work. Use your imagination to help your career up a few notches or to find that perfect job. Today you should also concentrate on your home. It's a good day for planning a new décor scheme or for doing renovations.

CAPRICORN
Whether or not you have a special relationship, friendship is at the core right now. Colleagues also help your career which lends a welcome respite from tension and domestic issues. Good communication is the key, so remember to listen as well as talk.

AQUARIUS
Talk to your family and discuss your home – your siblings could come up with a very good idea. Love-wise, you are more cautious than earlier in the month which is probably a good thing, but if you find the right man, eroticism will rule.

PISCES
You're still on a financial high, and now is the time to be proactive, talk to experts and discuss how to make your money work for you. Don’t take risks with the autumn weather – extra vitamin C could help avoid flu. Love has to be fun.

ARIES
You are still in control of your life and doing whatever you want, though the emphasis has become more financial. Remember, the more you give and help others, the more you’ll receive yourself. Your love life will benefit too.

Another good career day, but you could over-extend yourself so take care. Drugs and alcohol, though tempting to help you relax, are a no-no today. Follow your intuition –which is very strong, and Jupiter makes you confident and positive. Sex is great, but love could be lacking emotional support.

GEMINI
Saturn is trying to narrow your vision and keep you focused on one thing at a time rather than scattering your energies. Your car or your computer may suffer a glitch, while the thought of seeing friends and having fun doesn't hold much appeal. Sexual attraction to a new man is a distinct possibility.

CANCER
You could find your love life lacking in emotional caring. This could either be because you are too busy or due to his having other things on his mind. Take the lead at work – your input is essential if things are to get done, but acknowledge the help of colleagues.

LEO
Your love life might not be the warmest, but it is a lot of fun. Plan a trip together. Saturn warns of traffic delays locally, and your network might be down which will be very frustrating. It won't affect your career which gains impetus today.

VIRGO
Money worries could contribute to your feeling slightly off-colour. Work out what you owe and how you can repay debts. Do you really need that credit card? The man in your life seems to be doing well financially, and this spills over into your life. Sex-wise, fantasize - anything is possible.

LIBRA
Another great day when it comes to love with a lot of fun, laughter and romance. Be sure to avoid jealousy. He seems to be earning the money, but you’ll have to contribute so don’t take things for granted. You are both generous and successful when you put your mind to it.

SCORPIO
You could be attracted to a man who is totally unemotional, but will this last? He will help you with all your work commitments and probably give you some financial support, but what about love and nourishment? Think carefully: it is vital all your needs are met.

SAGITTARIUS
Your personal planet, Jupiter, is bringing you all the self-confidence you need, especially when it comes to money-making schemes. You know that money doesn’t come without hard work, so get on with it. Love-wise, you need lavish attention – drop blatant hints.

CAPRICORN
You need fun and romance, and aren’t about to be bossed around. You’d better warn him so that there isn’t a verbal battle. Financially this is a great day, though your family could demand that you spend it all on them or on your home. Prudence is necessary.

AQUARIUS
There might not be much togetherness in your love life today as you're feeling a little selfish and want to do whatever takes your fancy. Family, friends and you lover had better watch out. You can do anything you set out to do, changing your plans and direction on a whim. Success is yours.

PISCES
Your finances look great and you have more time to consider your life in a more spiritual way with the emphasis on giving rather than taking. Health-wise, it is vital that you don’t over-indulge in alcohol or drugs and ensure you keep only to the level of medicine prescribed by your doctor.

ARIES
You and your man seem to be on the same wave-length in most areas, but you could do with a bit more loving attention and affection. Just tell him. Finances are becoming more important – take advice on where and how to invest.

25 April 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/25-april-2011 TAURUS
Is there a bit of tension at work? Be honest but in the nicest way possible and try to keep emotion out of the mix. Your man might not appreciate your high-minded monologues, so keep what you say short and sweet and bring innovative ideas to the bedroom.

GEMINI
You are at your sexiest, but what about emotion? You like to appear vulnerable and delicate, but in fact you're tough and a customer. You know your sexual power and how to use it. Networking brings huge benefits.

CANCER
Your career is still powerful and networking, business associates and colleagues help make this a strong financial day too. You seem almost detached from everything going around you, keeping your emotions for your family and closest friends.

LEO
Usually quite conservative in the bedroom, today you need more and are ready to indulge in quite erotic love-making. At work you want to teach and pass on your knowledge and experience to your colleagues, but are they willing to learn?

VIRGO
With the help of your intuition you know how to express your feelings. Your man is surprisingly sexy, but you might have a headache today. Finances look good, but there are always setbacks.

LIBRA
The planets are offering love, passion and romance as well as friendship, so why are you holding back? Maybe it's all a bit over-the-top. Your libido is buzzing, and only this kind of all-encompassing love will satisfy. That special guy seems financially sound too.

SCORPIO
Your daily routine coupled with some hard work keeps you sane, otherwise the conflict between your family and your lover could be extremely upsetting. At work you are full of ideas which might be a little too advanced. Don't be discouraged.

SAGITTARIUS

Life should be light-hearted, romantic and fun at the moment as you socials with friends, neighbours and siblings. There is also the prospect of meeting an exciting new partner. You are in the mood for some energetic sex. If there is no-one special around, just chill out and laugh with friends.

CAPRICORN
Romance is in the air for single Caps, so be creative and fun as well as practical and hard-working. Put household chores and family problems aside and let your interests be sparked by your imaginative ideas. Turn tension into sexy action.

AQUARIUS
You’ve been overly concerned with your siblings, neighbours and community affairs, and now your family wants more attention. What about you, though? When do you make time for yourself? Try some togetherness with your man – unless you're just too tired.

PISCES
You are still in a strong financial month, so don’t worry on that score. You've been spending time doing things around your neighbourhood, as well as updating your computer, car and other electronic equipment, but what about you? Could be that you need some erotic sex.

ARIES

Today is less about you and more about your finances and whether friends and business associates can help you up the corporate ladder. It's not that difficult to do, and money just seems to turn up. Love seems to be chasing single Aries girls, and doing exactly what you want… lucky you!

24 April 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/24-april-2011 TAURUS
Your spiritual beliefs become more important now and you have the energy to follow them which transforms all aspects of your life. You need your man to adore everything about you and with your luck at the moment, he will.

GEMINI
If your man needs some understanding and compassion try to be more sensitive to his needs. You have your own problems at work, probably over money, but the kinder you are the more everyone will help you.

CANCER
Your love life seems to be extreme in every way making you wonder whether a breakaway would give you an opportunity to slow down a bit, think and decide on how to achieve your highest aspirations. You need comfort and warmth rather than rough passion.

LEO
Trying to borrow money seems particularly frustrating at the moment; perhaps you need to re-assess your needs, consider all the implications and then decide how best to move forward. Get all your facts and figures together. Ambition is one thing, but being ostentatious is quite another.

VIRGO
Are your relationships a bit slow and not providing enough comfort and love even though you put in all the hard work? Decide whether you want him to go away, or if it's you that needs to escape. Don't worry - tomorrow will be better. And a trip away together will help.

LIBRA
You aren’t in the mood for anyone who doesn’t pull their weight and leaves you to do all the household chores. Getting hands dirty isn’t really Libra’s style. Try discussing this in a friendly way rather than being confrontational.

SCORPIO
Your want to be creative and let your imagination run wild, but still something is holding you back. Don’t let childhood conditioning control you now. You are intelligent enough to use all your gifts and fulfil your dreams. With him, is it love or obsession?

SAGITTARIUS

You want to be seen with your man in all the best places whether it's top restaurants or the theatre, but you're frustrated at having to spend all your money on repairs or renovations to your home. You can have it all, just not today. In bed, let him be in charge for once.

CAPRICORN
Whatever you say could be misinterpreted today, so don’t discuss anything unless it's absolutely necessary, and be sure to get all your facts and figures on hand. Your home life is warm, friendly and very nurturing, and if this can a spill over into your love-life you'll be very content.

AQUARIUS
You need to express yourself in your usual, individual way, but misunderstandings over money bring up some old wounds and issues. Don’t let frustration become anger – it will all calm down tomorrow. Your sense of humour solves all problems, especially in matters of love.

PISCES
If you take something a friend says to heart, you’ll end up feeling hurt, frustrated and very unloved. Luckily, your favourite man should boost your self-confidence and help you realise all your dreams. Just be your usual, unpredictable self.

ARIES
Your emotions are quite complex today. Focus on your career instead – the harder you work, the more you’ll earn. Someone from your past, like an old colleague, turns up. Seeing them again won’t be easy, but will help heal old hurts.

23 April 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/23-april-2011 TAURUS
Your personal planet offers affection and friendliness today, and you take comfort from all your relationships. Your creative talents have an interesting edge to them even though not everyone likes them. Be your own person. Love is an exciting secret.

GEMINI
There is a lot of pressure on you today and you're feeling a little bit tense, but this actually helps you to achieve more. Use business associates and friends to help, but don’t ignore your intuition. There might not be too much excitement going on in your love life.

CANCER
Your ruler, the Moon, makes a few hard aspects today which cause a bit of frustration and even some hostility. Your friends and your favourite man are doing their best for you so try not to over-react or be overly judgmental. In love it's necessary to be forgiving.

LEO
It's all work and not much play, so you need to give yourself time to relax and socialize. Listening to your favourite music (at a concert or in your own home) will encourage romance to help satisfy your sexual fire, even if he isn’t who you want long-term.

VIRGO
Finances are still the issue, even if the Sun has moved into Taurus. Your creative juices are flowing and you can think of very exciting ways of spending your money, like an overseas trip or further studies. Love-wise, luxury is a must.

LIBRA
For some of you romance is turning to more intense commitment, and you're even thinking of setting up home together. Are you sure this is what you want? You don’t suffer fools, but passion can over-shadow common sense. Think of him as well as yourself.

SCORPIO
Sexual tension is released in a very loving way which also helps to calm your nerves and the stress of overworking. You need to give yourself a break before something gives. Instead of bottling up your feelings, talk or write it all down.

SAGITTARIUS

You share so many values that it's no wonder you're drawn to one another. You enjoy a bright social life, but might become a bit too opinionated. Listen and learn, especially at work, as colleagues and business associates aren’t that tolerant.

CAPRICORN
You can have it all today, and achieve anything and everything from using your creative talents at home to making your career the centre of your personal universe. You need your lover to be your best friend, sharing every step of the way together.

AQUARIUS
Life should be all about communication especially with your man and your family. There could be a secret you don’t want disclose. This is fine, as long as it doesn’t keep you awake with worry. You’d love to get away, but this is probably not possible. Hang in there!

PISCES
If you really are best friends with your man, this is as good a time as any to discuss finances and shared values. He may not be able to help you money-wise, but at least you can be open and honest about your views and needs. In love, keep your eyes open.

ARIES
Career prospects are going well and your finances are looking good. You seem to be able to call all the shots at work as well as in your love life. As usual, your love affairs are complex, dramatic and a little bit chaotic. For once he might have more power than you.

22 April 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/22-april-2011 TAURUS
Today you feel ready to have another adventure – as long as you have somewhere safe to return to. You want to work hard and play hard. News of what is happening around the world takes on greater significance. Love-wise, you accept no compromises as only the best will do.

GEMINI
You and your man don’t seem to be on the same wave length today. You have so many friends and so many projects on the go that the idea of a long, drawn-out love session does not appeal. You need to be away from your usual haunts as your energy is needed elsewhere.

CANCER
As the Moon moves into your opposite sign you are ready to bask in love, friendship and social events. Colleagues appreciate everything you do, though you might find all the attention tiring and it causes a bit of tension. Love is committed, though you do need to be more patient.

LEO
You decide you need more knowledge and skills to take you quickly up the corporate ladder, and an opportunity to work abroad could come up. Your man could be too possessive while you need to feel free.

VIRGO
Working as a team takes you further than going it alone. Finances play a big part in all your relationships, and you’ll be the winner in most alliances. Love-wise, you have to decide between light-hearted romance and heavy commitment. Follow your dreams.

LIBRA

Focus your attention on your favourite man, your home and your family. In your career, common goals are more successful that your own private ones. When you and your man work together and share the same dreams you accomplish dizzying heights of success.

SCORPIO
The focus is on your communication skills – get these right and you’ll achieve everything from that perfect job to financial security. You’ll be able to afford that new car, computer and other gadgets. Right now you are able to talk your man into anything, especially uninhibited lovemaking.

SAGITTARIUS
Did you burn the candle at both ends last night? Nursing a hangover won’t help your work. Luckily, you seem to know all the right people and are able to get the help you need. In love, use your imagination to turn your bedroom into a bordello where naughtiness rules.

CAPRICORN
There might not be as much co-operation at home as you’d like, so concentrate on success at work where you can be in charge, make decisions and see your vision becoming reality. Love-wise, steadiness takes precedence over passion.

AQUARIUS
The more you participate in community affairs, the better your career prospects as they seem to mutually beneficial. Siblings play a part in today’s activities, but encourage them to make their own decisions. A change in plans is annoying but not serious. Love is explosive.

PISCES
Friendship, shared values, financial ideas all suggest a long-lasting love relationship as you see your dreams coming true. Do use your intuition though – let it guide you while you use common sense too. If there is any confusion, don’t make a final commitment. Real love will wait.

ARIES
Your love life looks a bit more complex and chaotic today. You enjoy anything as long as it stops boredom creeping in; just make sure the attention you get today is for positive reasons. The situation needs great sensitivity. Lovemaking is a sexy struggle.

21 April 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/21-april-2011 TAURUS
As Venus moves into Aries, you become more secretive about your love life. An old flame could enter your life again, making you dream and fantasize more and you may indulge in an illicit romance. You look good but, as you don’t believe it, you could miss out on an exciting invitation.

GEMINI
Don’t ignore invitations as you might just meet someone very special, and you're in the mood for love and wild sex. Social events and group activities will also bring you new friends - and boost your career. Be honest about your feelings

CANCER
Venus is putting you in the limelight whether you want it or not. Just make sure you look and act your best. Be as co-operative as possible, and you’ll be offered more opportunities than you can handle. You could ask for promotion now too. Indulge your appetite for love.

LEO
Although you have great success with marketing and advertising both your business and yourself, the lure of an overseas trip or a romantic adventure is far more exciting, as are cultural and spiritual pursuits. Your sex life is explosive.

VIRGO
Usually you take the lead from your man but today your passions are running much deeper so make the most of your earthy, feminine beauty and take charge. Let him know clearly what you like and dislike. Don’t forget to pay your debts and collect money owed.

LIBRA
Take advantage as everyone is out to help you today, and the more willing you are to co-operate, the easier your work will be and the bigger the financial rewards in the end. Contracts can be negotiated in your favour. Have you finally found your ideal man? Don’t accept anything less.

SCORPIO
This is a good time to renovate or decorate your office space with a fresh coat of paint, plants and flowers. This will also give your work a boost. Your health will be improved by pampering, whether you're giving yourself a massage or a new hair style. Erotic togetherness is needed in your love life.

SAGITTARIUS
The next few weeks are all about love, romance and using your imagination to create the perfect life. Success at work encourages the pursuit of pleasure, and you and your man can have it all – love, fun, success and a healthy bank balance.

CAPRICORN
You look like the perfect couple, sharing ambitions, entertaining friends, indulging your family and decorating and renovating together. Avoid both wanting to be in the limelight at the same time. Love is more controlled than usual.

AQUARIUS
Show your sense of humour more now that Venus is influencing your charm – it should be kinder than usual. Siblings and neighbours want to be in contact, but you are still busy so you’ll have to allocate time to them. Love-wise, the future looks fantastic.

PISCES
Venus moving into Aries puts great emphasis on your finances, but while your income goes up, you tend to spend even more, so be careful. Joint ventures look very positive, and you can easily sort out any disagreements. In love, your intuition guides you.

ARIES
Venus is giving you a real boost, and luck is with you in everything you do. You have the charm and willingness to co-operate with everyone which, in turn, helps boost your finances. Extra studies will also help your career or, at least, help pay for an air-ticket overseas.

20 April 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/20-april-2011 ARIES
Take time this morning to think about your goals and what you really want. The Sun moves into Taurus later today, encouraging you to be more reliable and get your life into a stable routine. The Moon tells you to study and expand your horizons, and you might just meet an exotic foreigner.

TAURUS
As the Sun moves into your sign, it's time to look at yourself unemotionally and see what can be done to improve your image and self-confidence. This is the start of a new year for you, and it's time to achieve your personal goals. Does he satisfy your libido?

GEMINI
Gain strength from your past struggles and successes, and let friends and business associates help you achieve your goals. Your own hard work will get you where you want to be. Love is exciting and experimental.

CANCER
Does he get worried about your mood swings, or does he love you enough to support you? Love is erotic, but there are no guarantees. As the sun moves into Taurus you become more assertive, both at work and with friends. Your leadership skills become more inspiring too.

LEO
Your career is the key element in these coming weeks, and it doesn't get much better than this. Visualise your personal goals and work towards them to be assured of success. Your love life looks more glamorous than usual, but also more expensive – watch out.

VIRGO
Passions are running deep today as the Sun moves into Taurus, and this is a good time to book an overseas trip or get involved in teaching and studying. Love-wise, you seem more interested in his needs than in your own. It's time you put yourself first.

LIBRA
Don’t be afraid – life is the only way forward. Now that the Sun has moved into Taurus, use your intense passion to help you achieve your goals. You benefit from everyone’s generosity this month, and love is naughty without limitations.

SCORPIO
You want your man to teach you, learn from you and refuse you nothing. You're willing to compromise for the greater good, but is he ready to go that far? With the cooperation of your colleagues you have the ability to solve problems.

SAGITTARIUS
Now that the sun has moved into Taurus, the greater the pride you take in everything you do and the more you achieve at work. This is also a good time to get your health and body checked out. In your relationship you can have it all which revives your flagging spirit.

CAPRICORN

You are ready for every kind of self-indulgence, though you might feel a little bit guilty. The keywords for the next few weeks are 'fun' and 'creativity'. Don’t miss out; opportunities don’t come up that often.

AQUARIUS

You are in sexy mode today; who is the lucky man? But you don’t just want sex, you need commitment too. As the Sun moves into Taurus you take greater interest in your home and family. Working together will bring greater financial success.

PISCES
Communication is the key now that the Sun has moved into Taurus. Transport, travel, cars, computers as well as improving your writing and teaching skills are all important right now. It's a busy month. Love and sex are not priorities, but remain fun and a bit wild.

19 April 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/19-april-2011 ARIES
Talk about being a drama queen today – but, for some strange reason it actually suits you; just don’t go overboard. Keep the domination tactics for the bedroom, instead. You are more than usually sensitive to emotional undercurrents today, so you could find love a bit confusing.

TAURUS
When you do charity work (anything from a fund-raising marathon to rattling a money-box on a street corner), the more time and energy you give the more you receive in return. Your love life seems more intense than usual. Find what makes you relax, and do it.

GEMINI
A Scorpio Moon is unsettling for Gemini. Unusually, you don't mind when friends or your man challenge your ideas. If fact, you're almost happy to rethink them. You seem quite happy to get on with the daily routine at work, but will this harmony last?

CANCER
You are more than usually passionate about your career and you find a new, creative spirit within you, making today really exciting. You could even decide to move on and work in a new, innovative environment. In love, expect surprising intimacy.

LEO
The Scorpio Moon places your focus on your home and family, just when you were deciding on a trip abroad or to widen your horizons. Everything else might have to wait. Love-wise, you might just be losing interest – unless, of course, he can stimulate that spark of passion.

VIRGO
Your passions run so deep that he probably doesn’t understand what you are about at all. Can you let him in on a few secrets? Saturn is challenging your ideas about money, but don’t finalise any financial plans until you speak to an expert.

LIBRA
Do you realise just how much you and your man have in common, or are you merely tolerating him? Sometimes it's a question of money and values – if you share these, then the relationship is halfway there. He probably wants more passion and intensity than you can offer him.

SCORPIO
Use your strong intuition when choosing a partner, but mix it with a large dollop of common sense before committing yourself to the long-term. Your mind is on your work for most of the month, but let yourself indulge in some fun and romance.

SAGITTARIUS
Listen to the energy of your own soul; in other words, don’t follow the crowd but do what’s good for you. Your creativity spills over to your home life, making family relationships easy as you make your home a beautiful refuge from the outside world where you can really shine.

CAPRICORN

The emphasis is on using your business associates and friends to ensure that your highest career aspirations are being met. Networking, even from the comfort of your own home, brings great benefits. When you talk today, everyone listens. Love should be simple but satisfying.

AQUARIUS
Communication is the key to career success, so concentrate on your speaking, writing and computer skills. Sounding literate, being friendly and using good grammar will help as long as you know your subject. Wear black, grey or violet. Love is exotic and primal.

PISCES
Suffering from the moody blues? Bright blue will help lift your mood today if you're feeling restless. Plan a trip away or enrol in a new course of study; whatever you do, widen your horizons. Your finances look great, but love is the main interest. Sparring can bring on some hot sex.

18 April 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/18-april-2011 ARIES
The more you try to follow your heart’s ambitions, the more relationships seem to get in the way. Slow down a bit, and think carefully about what you really want rather than getting angry and frustrated. After all, you and your man make an impressive pair.

TAURUS
You don’t like being told what to do. If you aren’t on the same wave-length as those in charge you, you still have to get on and make the most of the opportunities offered. If there is no man around, stay home and catch up on the ‘girly’ things (bubble baths, scented candles, a manicure, etc).

GEMINI
This month is all about friendships but remember that you need to give people space. There could be a transport problem, so make sure your car is regularly serviced. Love is very satisfying – are you in it for the long term?

CANCER
Are you using all your abilities, or have you denied some of them just to make money? Opportunities are coming your way to do both. Spend some time at home this evening, and let your family give you the support you need. Your love life is quite liberal at the moment.

LEO

A little tension can stimulate you into action, helping you achieve at work, gain further knowledge and bring enough energy for a second job. Great benefits all-round! You may not have the time to think much about your man and his problems.

VIRGO
If your man isn’t exactly what or who you thought he was, especially finance-wise, your love life could be causing you some frustration. Do you want a total change, or just for him to fit your image? Think carefully about whether he is really what you want.

LIBRA
Together, you and your man are ready to climb the steepest social and career mountains but remember, the higher the mountain, the harder the fall. You are quite single-minded and easily able to help him over the rocky patches. Only vanity prevents erotic orgasms.

SCORPIO
Trusting and sharing are often quite hard concepts for Scorpio to understand as passion gets in the way of common sense, and you get badly hurt. Compromise today could be difficult. Jealousy could spur you on sexually.

SAGITTARIUS
You should still be enjoying a fun, creative month and today you are appreciated by your work associates and supported by your family. Your man is the one who can stimulate your imagination and make you focus on success and romance.

CAPRICORN
Are you on a see-saw? One minute your career is fantastic, and then down it goes. The same can be said for your love life which veers between emotional and sexual highs and lows. Balance is needed. You can have it all.

AQUARIUS
Freedom to think for yourself and to experiment is what makes you comfortable. Restraint in anything (unless self-imposed) can make you sick. In the real world, though, you need to compromise, whether it's with your lover or in your career.

PISCES

If you really love him go along with his ideas of changing you into his image of the perfect woman. It won’t hurt you as you will always remain the same wonderful you, even if you occasionally change the outside package to satisfy him. Financially, this is a banner month.

17 April 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/17-april-2011 ARIES
Use all that pent-up energy in sport, make passionate love rather than blow your top, and stop pushing for everything to go your way! If he is married or unattainable, don’t get involved – just move on or you’ll end up the loser.

TAURUS
The amount of work you are getting through could leave you tired, depressed and unwell, especially if you feel you aren’t utilizing your true talents. Do what has to be done and, if necessary, use all your tact and diplomacy when asking for assistance.

GEMINI
You want to be best friends with your man, but get bored if he does everything you ask – at the very least you expect a good discussion. You need a man who excites and stimulates you. Use your energy to network.

CANCER
An argument or disagreement over work, especially if it involves family, leaves you angry and frustrated. The more tolerant you are the easier it will be to find a solution. Luckily you are very popular at the moment so have a lot of support. Love-wise, romantic gestures keep you together.

LEO
Before you set off on an overseas trip, make sure you finish what has to be done locally. Siblings and neighbours have something to say, especially about your need for a wider spiritual understanding - just follow your heart. Love-wise, fun is the word.

VIRGO
Discussions about monetary matters are vital. Be sure to get all the facts and figures before making any important changes. If your man is unable to help with practical things, you’ll have to organize it all yourself.

LIBRA
You’ll have to work extra hard if you want to control your emotions today, and you might shed a few tears. But what are you really crying about? Take a look in the mirror - you are beautiful and special. There's no need to be to be self-righteous and overly opinionated.

SCORPIO

The colour aquamarine (pale blue-green) will help keep you calm and healthy today, especially if you and your man aren’t on the same wave-length. Think carefully about what you're doing. You are under emotional pressure to finish everything. Have fun socializing tonight.

SAGITTARIUS
The energy today suggests that networking, socializing and meeting new people will energize your finances. Invite friends home, but keep it simple. Don’t limit yourself or let anyone drag you down. You need a man who uplifts and stimulates you in every way.

CAPRICORN
You and your man feel that together you can conquer the world, but to get there you have to overcome some emotional baggage. It could be fun, though today might feel a bit heavy. Concentrate on your career instead – it will bring satisfaction and financial security.

AQUARIUS
Enthusiasm is the name of the game today – you are popular, attractive and being noticed by the people who count. Your energy levels are high, though you may scatter it in so many directions that you don’t finish anything. Love feels a little overwhelming.

PISCES
An even stronger day money-wise in a very strong financial month. You are more passionate than usual about everything you do. Let this enthusiasm spill over into your love life, and you’ll both be inspired by everything from poetry to erotic sex.

16 April 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/16-april-2011 ARIES
You start the day feeling a bit stressed, and reluctant to share your thoughts, but as the Moon moves into Libra you seek out loving friends and join colleagues who can help you. Wild eroticism works tonight.

TAURUS
The Moon moving into Libra activates your 'health houses' which means your health should be good, even though today you could feel a little overwhelmed by your own emotions. Keep to your daily routine as this will make you feel safe and in control. Let love be sensual, but fun.

GEMINI
As the Moon moves into your house of romance, fun, social activities and your enjoyment of life increases especially with friends and colleagues. Your sex-life will be invigorating and liberating, but probably not terribly passionate or intense.

CANCER
You seem to let the worries of the world rest on your shoulders as your home and family vie with your career for your attention, time and interest. Make sure you don’t break under the pressure. Your love life should be pleasantly liberating.

LEO
Life is all about communication at the moment, and you’ll use every trick in the book to get your own way, including flattery. Be honest, and don’t say anything you don’t mean or you’ll end up the loser. Love isn’t deep, but it's a lot of fun.

VIRGO

The main headline all month is finance, and with the Moon in your money house things look even better. You’ll make even more if you work together as a team rather than trying to control every situation. It is up to you to provide the passion in your love life today.

LIBRA
In the mood for some sexual experiments and games? You could get lucky as long as you don’t become too dominating. Relax earlier in the day with some beauty treatment. Plans might have to be changed, so be flexible.

SCORPIO
If you speak with an air of superiority, not just to your man but to colleagues as well, you could antagonise the very people you need. You don’t mean it, it’s just part of the Scorpio personality – make sure they know this. There is huge pressure at work, but this where you really come into your own.

SAGITTARIUS
Let friends and colleagues encourage you to use your creative talents – you might discover new and exciting ways of working and making money. Love-wise, you are happiest when your man is your intellectual equal. A macho man who lacks intellect is not your style, no matter how sexy.

CAPRICORN
You could get bored if your man keeps telling you how wonderful you while not contributing anything financially. You are famous for being able to do it all on your own, but what about having it all as well?

AQUARIUS
You have itchy feet, and you're ready to take off and do something more exciting – but there is still work to be done in your own environment as this is what brings in the money. The more responsible you are now, the greater the financial rewards. In love, there are no hang ups.

PISCES
This is a really strong day financially, so ask for a loan and collect any money owed to you. Just make sure that you have all the facts figures on hand. Is there tension between you and a colleague or friend? Don’t let it worry you. Passionate love-making will help you forget.

15 April 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/15-april-2011 ARIES
Your emotions are very confused which is unsettling. Don’t let the tension cause a migraine. You're even more stressed if you are indulging in a secret love affair or two-timing your man. Instead, play sport or find other ways of expending your energy.

TAURUS
The more co-operative you are with colleagues and business associates, the more your creative talents will be recognised and appreciated. A new romance is very erotic, and you may prefer to keep him to yourself before showing him off to friends and family.

GEMINI

It is very important that you look your best as you are in the spotlight today. Your creative talents can be put to good use, and you can make money from them too. It's no use insisting that you want to be left alone because it's not going to happen.

CANCER
There is an enjoyable verbal challenge in your love life, but are you going to give in? You might gain more by being flexible. Your career is still the major headline, but don’t spend too much time working. Indulge in some magical sex instead.

LEO
Make sure your bank balance can handle all the travelling you want to do – or, find other ways of dealing with your itchy feet. You are ready to learn and to pass on this knowledge to everyone else. Is he giving in to your whims?

VIRGO
Love-wise, this is not the time to talk, but rather for passion, action and lust - but only on your terms. This is one of the best days all month, so go for whatever you want. Your finances are looking good.

LIBRA
Your love life seems to be an emotional issue today with lots of soul-searching going on. Love and tenderness rather than heavy passion are the themes, and you need a break from all the emotion anyway. Relationships with colleagues look good, and there is a lot of mutual co-operation which means that projects get finished easily.

SCORPIO
As you demand the highest standards, not many men are able to satisfy you. But, luckily for him, you are ready to teach him how to fulfil your needs without revealing too many secrets. You could be a bit confused about a business associate – is he just a friend, or is there more?

SAGITTARIUS
Look at your career through more creative eyes – you are a perfectionist, but you also thrive when your creative ideas can be used to make both money. Perfection in your love life is more difficult to achieve as there aren’t many men who are clever, athletic, adventure-loving and sexy.

CAPRICORN

The emphasis is on your home and family this month, but today you need more freedom than usual to be yourself. Use charm to get your own way, but don’t be taken in by flattery. If there is no-one around who interests you, try looking further afield.

AQUARIUS
If you don’t share the same principles and values, end it before it starts. If you don't, it will cause you stress overload. If, on the other hand, he really is the right one for you, then your dreams are becoming a reality. Take care of your computer and other electronic equipment.

PISCES

You could be earning a lot at the moment, but spending it too, mainly on your favourite man. You have success in everything you do at the moment, and money seems to be coming to you from various activities and family. Be careful, love-wise, as it could be just an illusion.

The day starts off full of energy which tempts you do too much, whether it's rushing around attending to different projects or introducing new, innovative lovemaking. By tonight you could be quite exhausted, so go to bed early.

TAURUS
You start the day concerned with your family and home, while by evening your creative side gives you plenty of new décor ideas. You need security from love, and someone special is out there, waiting for the perfect, single Taurean girl to appear on the horizon...

GEMINI
Use your intuition to see how your friends fit in with your family, and when it will be a good time to invite some of them home. You start the day full of enthusiasm and ready to chat and send a couple of overdue emails, but by this evening you need your bed, preferably alone.

CANCER
Your career is going well, and you start the day concerned with your financial affairs. Later you need to find out more information which you do over the internet and by talking to experts. He’ll want to sweep you off your feet, but you're too tired and moody to care.

LEO
With the right man, you have a very lively and stimulating life, but you can also have this on your own. At the moment the travel bug is biting you, and you are probably better off when you can just go where the spirit takes you.

VIRGO
Love and passion are almost an addiction, so let him worship you as you deserve, but don’t be fooled by a con artist. If there’s no-one around, you are quite capable of looking after yourself. Financially, you're in a very strong position.

LIBRA
Visit friends early in the day because later you'll only want to bask in love. You could be too much of a perfectionist today – remember, perfection doesn’t exist. Accept love and tenderness today, and leave the passion for tomorrow.

SCORPIO
It's time for you to take your power whether it's at work, with friends or business colleagues. Promises made at work seem confused and may not even come off, so be sure to get everything in writing. It will be no use getting angry after the event – you’ll only end up with a stress headache.

SAGITTARIUS
Your mind is on your career and achievements. Don’t make decisions without too much thought as there could be some misunderstandings and even an element of deceit. Let your imagination go wild and let it stimulate your creative talents. Get contracts checked by a professional.

CAPRICORN
Did your latest romance just wither and die? Before embarking on a new relationship, take the time to care for yourself and your family. They need you more than you know. Plan a trip or a study course – the world is yours for the taking.

AQUARIUS
Discussions at the moment revolve around money, whether it's an inheritance, loans, a mortgage or debts. This is a good time to get as much information as you can so that you act from a position of strength. Love-wise, don’t try to be too independent – let him satisfy your fantasies.

PISCES
Love-wise, are there obstacles standing in the way of your happiness? Don’t worry, you can sort them out as long as you aren’t too unpredictable. Finances are your main concern. Use your imagination, but know that someone could be out to deceive.

You just love having fun and, as you are oozing popularity and being noticed by everyone, this is one of the best days all month. Use your self-confidence to get ahead, but control some of your wilder impulses. Don’t do anything to make your favourite man jealous.

TAURUS
With the help and support of your family you have the confidence to make your life exactly what you want it to be. Knowledge is power, but don’t let it become an obsession. Avoid accidents when working in the kitchen and on the road, and learn to relax if you want to avoid illness.

GEMINI
Tell him how you feel, but keep it light and know when to stop. Be patient rather than irritable with friends who don’t seem as interested as you think they should be. Finances and career are on the up, and now's the time to share your ideas.

CANCER
This is a very strong financial day as the results of your hard work are coupled with some great career luck. Your home and family need your input, so be tolerant even if you don't have much time today. Is your man a bit too controlling? You can transform him, you know.

LEO
A loving, passionate and sexy day, but who has the bigger ego? You are so popular that everyone listens, but your reputation is on the line, so don’t let out any secrets. This is a great day to travel, go on holiday or play sport.

VIRGO

With all this love and intense passion you could become stressed and over-tired, and the matter of an inheritance, someone else’s money and loans or debts requires your attention. You need to give yourself a bit of me-time.

LIBRA
Your love life and general popularity are the main headlines, but your health is becoming a bit more delicate. Take the time now to de-stress, eat healthily and boost your immune system with exercise. When you and your man inspire each other, the world had better watch out.

SCORPIO
There is so much to get through that you might neglect your health. Don’t – you need all the strength you can get. This is a good time to start meditation or some other relaxation method. Your judgment is good, so use it. You're oozing sex appeal.

SAGITTARIUS

You are in classically romantic mode – as long as he provides the freedom for you to travel and have adventures together, whether it's climbing in the Andes, canoeing down the Nile or sleeping under the stars. Let your wild imagination run free.

CAPRICORN
You tend to blame your colleagues for anything that goes wrong, and you need to accept responsibility for both the successes and failures in your life. Keep your eye on the main attraction - whoever he is.

AQUARIUS

Let him lead you to where you want to be, and make sure you have a lot of fun in bed. You can always beat him intellectually, so try to keep your mouth buttoned occasionally. You could get overtired as there are a lot of meetings, talks and travel on the agenda.

PISCES
Your work is the feature today, and you continue contributing to your already healthy bank account. The Moon is warning you not to indulge in alcohol, drugs or anything else that could potentially damage your health. In romance, let him keep you happy.

As the Moon moves into Leo you feel happy and full of fun. Being creative in all areas of your life makes you feel content and helps you stay healthy, as well bringing new energy into your love-life. Just try to remain faithful - even if that new man is very tempting.

TAURUS
You might feel a bit stressed, but as your home life is calm and friends and family are supportive you're better able to relax. Try not to worry too much about money or give the desire for money too much emphasis. Instead, cultivate your natural talents and the money will flow in.

GEMINI
A bit of a hectic day is forecast so keep calm and make contact only with those essential to what you need to achieve. When you show positivity you get the right reaction, and you could learn something important which will help you in the future. In love, you have it all today.

CANCER
Let him think he’s a macho man – you know who really runs everything, and it makes him more loving and caring. Following your heart’s ambitions career-wise might seem hard today, so just slow down and wait for the right moment.

LEO
The confines of working in a small space and having to follow orders rather than use your creative talents freely could make you frustrated and confrontational. Relax – there are travel opportunities coming your way. In the meantime, listen and learn. Love is tough.

VIRGO
If anyone owes you money, now is the day to collect it. Don’t hesitate! Today is also good for asking for a loan or negotiating joint transactions in your own unique way. You’ll make positive financial progress in your career too. When it comes to love, you're the seductress today.

LIBRA
With romantic relationships holding so much importance at the moment, don’t forget about your friends. You also need a man who is your friend as well as your lover. Networking and being in contact with business associates makes today more interesting.

SCORPIO
Most of the time this month you are only interested in your work and career, but when you party, you really party. Love-wise you seem insatiable, and the question is whether any man can keep up. If he can’t, you’ll just drift into someone else’s arms. Remember to rest sometimes.

SAGITTARIUS
Love, romance, having fun and travelling together are on the cards today. This is one of those days where everything falls into place. Just remember that when you over-extend yourself it's your health that suffers.

CAPRICORN
You may not be at your strongest at the moment – if there is anything that needs to be done, investigate. Do you have health insurance? If not, why not? This is a great time to purchase a new home computer or other equipment, but do your homework so that you get the best deal.

AQUARIUS
You want big, bold, passionate sex today - have you told him? You are so full of new ideas (personally and career-wise) that you just might say too much. You’ll find yourself dashing around your neighbourhood. Slow down and be careful.

PISCES

You're so preoccupied with your work and money that you forget that giving is more important than taking. The more you give with a generous heart, the more you receive, and the same goes for love. Don’t expect him to keep the romance going; it needs input from both of you.

The Moon is making you feel tense, obsessive and even confrontational, especially with your love partner and work-mates. When you realise just how appreciated and wanted you are, you’ll be able to relax and enjoy the mutual admiration.

TAURUS
You probably don’t want to talk about your inner feelings – these are very personal to you, and only you can work through them. The good news is that a colleague or friend could introduce you to a very special man, and right now you are oozing sexual attraction.

GEMINI

Try not to lose your cool over money, especially with colleagues or friends. It's not worth it. You’ll achieve far more by being helpful, relaxed and understanding. Use your passion in your love-life where spontaneity rules.

CANCER

Moody blues? You can’t help it today as your ruler, the Moon, is in tense aspect to the Sun. You can make a breakthrough at work if you try, though it might be difficult. Share your emotions with your man – he’ll understand.

LEO
Don’t get irritated by your man if he tries to give you comfort. When all you want to do is indulge in tears of frustration, vent by being as opinionated as you feel like being. Vigorous sex is what you need.

VIRGO
You want to be friends with your colleagues which is difficult today as your need for control becomes almost obsessive. Your focus is more on yourself than on him. Luckily, he loves you anyway.

LIBRA
Let good sex ease your tension and irritability. Once love flows again, you’ll be able to shower colleagues as well as your man with healing, nurturing love. He knows you're very sexual despite your cool exterior.

SCORPIO

Your personal planet, Pluto is urging you to take control at work and expand your territory. If you need to acquire more expertise, now is the time to study. You don’t have to compete; you know you are the best.

SAGITTARIUS
Despite the tension between the Sun and Moon, you still have very good judgment, a sense of fun and positive thoughts about your future. Study the things you are passionate about. Love is wonderfully unpredictable.

CAPRICORN
Although there is plenty of love at home, you want to be in charge and to control everything, which might not be appreciated. You want to transform your lover - and love-life - to suit you, but try to relax and find a compromise.

AQUARIUS
Is your love life a bit of an uphill battle? Is the idea of getting serious very scary? As long as you share the same values, have similar interests and inspire each other with that spark of love, what’s the problem? Use your good judgment.

PISCES
When it comes to money, be positive. As long as you see the full picture you won’t get frustrated or depressed. Don’t let Saturn depress your feelings of love and attraction, and use your extra sensitivity to inspire your love life.

A lot is going on in the heavens today and your energy is scattered. Feel free to follow your dreams, let your intuition guide you and don’t get angry when everything doesn't go according to plan. Thrive on the excitement of love.

TAURUS
Don’t obsess about the information you’ve stumbled across. The more flexible you are, the easier it is to use it to your advantage - and you won’t have sleepless nights. Talking of bed, don’t confuse love with sex.

GEMINI
Today is a good one for your finances, and you get help from business associates, colleagues and friends. Get out there and network, and find the opportunities to transform your life. Let love be spontaneous, and only slot him in if you genuinely have the time.

CANCER
Is someone at home judging you? Don’t be upset - it just shows that they care, even though things could get emotional. At work you can meet any demand made on you; you know what you want and how to get it. You need cosy, comforting cuddling from your favourite man.

LEO
It's time to broaden your spiritual perspective and horizons through travel, studies and meeting people from different cultures. Make a decision, and just do it. Remember that freedom has its own responsibilities. Sexually, is tenderness enough?

VIRGO
What is better than to have a relationship based on friendship as well as love and romance? Life isn’t all easy though - you have to contend with jealousy, power struggles and anger. You can’t control everything, so be flexible.

LIBRA
A great day for your career as everyone seems out to help you up the corporate ladder and your dreams of success seem to be turning into reality. Saturn says that you can’t rely on others all the time, so do some of the work yourself. Total, unabashed romance is what you need now.

SCORPIO
You have the power to transform your life into whatever you want, though it might take some extreme effort on your part. Make sure you are fit enough for the challenges. Let love be passionate and caring.

SAGITTARIUS
Pursue love and romance with enthusiasm, but don’t be too dominant. Let him think he is doing the chasing. Saturn is grumbling that passion and love are fine, but what about friendship? Creativity in your work brings great rewards.

CAPRICORN

When working from home you seldom make time for a break. Beware of becoming over-tired, having an accident or letting a domestic tiff get ugly. It won’t take much to transform your house into a peaceful refuge. Love is dreamy.

AQUARIUS
Don’t let anger get the better of you as it could turn very nasty. Drive slowly and carefully, even if you're only going a short distance. Good news is that a mixture of inspiration and energy makes you very successful. Love is wild.

PISCES
Transform your life to exactly the way you want it. Now you have the financial resources, the energy and the creativity you need. Romance is waiting, but does he realise what he’s getting? Be careful, and don’t let him shatter your illusions.

You know exactly what you want, and you have the energy and clarity of mind to go after it. You can talk your way into and out of every situation, so don’t hold back. By tonight you’ll be tired and in need of nurturing – let your family comfort you.

TAURUS
This evening will be the time to dress up, put on makeup and visit friends, neighbours or get involved in community affairs. Money issues still worry you, but let your intuition guide you. Just ensure that you get expert advice as well.

GEMINI

This month the focus is on how you interact with your friends, business associates and the groups or clubs that you belong to. Mars encourages you to be an independent thinker, but don’t let impatience mar your progress. Tonight you are unusually moody with your man.

CANCER
The changes you are making are life-altering, so think very carefully. You are extremely successful and making good money, so don’t throw it all away on a whim or over an argument. Tonight you need both cosy love and a few new tricks.

LEO
With so many options open to you, it's hard to decide what to do next. Ask friends and business colleagues for their advice. By tonight you’ll need time alone to think for yourself. Love needs to be emotionally fulfilling.

VIRGO
Sex, money and debt are all issues that need intense energy this month, and they could leave you totally exhausted. Although you love looking after others, let your favourite man or a close friend take care of you this evening.

LIBRA
You do everything with great enthusiasm this month, and the focus starts to be on your career and your highest aspirations. You know you can succeed at everything, especially when you let your friends and business associates help. Love is forceful.

SCORPIO
Mars is warning you to take care as you rush around doing everything with enthusiasm and intensity. Venus is promising some fun so be creative, especially in your love life as physical attraction alone might not be enough.

SAGITTARIUS
In business, pleasure and your love life the Gods are working with you and your creative flair, humour and enjoyment of life are obvious in everything you do. You are more than generous, especially when it comes to love.

CAPRICORN
You do everything with such speed today that you need to watch out for accidents, especially in the home. Don’t feel guilty because you enjoy making love to your favourite man; just let yourself go.

AQUARIUS
Today is about learning new skills and teaching others, especially relating to your computer and the latest technology. This you do both for fun and to bring your work up to speed. Love-wise, your usual free spirited nature seems to be getting more serious.

PISCES
Money matters are still the main issue, whether it's paying debts or collecting money owed. Your family is being more than generous. Later today you want more fun and to be creative and inventive. Love-wise, does your man know just what he’s getting?

What are you going to do with all this energy? It will benefit your work so talk about your ideas, teach someone your skills or learn new ones yourself. You don’t need to travel far today. He’d better have enough energy tonight!

TAURUS
When it comes to your money, the more you can accomplish behind the scenes and working alone, the better. Giving to a charity will stimulate the universal energy of the more you give, the more you receive. Love-wise, take charge.

GEMINI
You could scatter your energy in so many directions that nothing is achieved. Decide on your priorities, figure out what will or won’t make you happy and work with associates, colleagues and friends to achieve the best success. In love, excitement rules.

CANCER
With Mars energizing your personal planet you need to do something exciting and challenging. Don’t take unnecessary risks, though, and be confident but not boastful. A change of lifestyle could help your health. Love-wise, you need freedom.

LEO
The emphasis is on your relationships, and could have something to do with a teacher, someone from abroad or travelling plans with your man or a friend. The important issue is not to be too dominating or competitive: keep it light and fun.

VIRGO
You are very resourceful at the moment. Be sure to research and investigate your options before making important financial decisions, especially if these involve your career and work. Your love and sex life both seem a little challenging today.

LIBRA
A teacher, perhaps from abroad, inspires you to work with your colleagues and business associates today rather than alone, and you gain more knowledge from the experience. You’ll find it easy to negotiate contracts today. Love is all about giving as well as taking.

SCORPIO
It's time to get fit. Mars is suggesting you have a check-up and then play some sport, walk, jog or go to the gym… just don’t overdo it. You easily and successfully finish everything that has to be done at work. You need intense passion, while he probably wants more freedom.

SAGITTARIUS
Love is a win-win situation as you both seem to want the same things at home, in bed and in relation to your careers. Mars is inspiring you to use your imagination, but don't forget to have fun too.

CAPRICORN
Put your plans into action now, especially if you're inspired to run a business from home, renovate or decorate. Your family is involved too, but not quite as enthusiastically as you are. Let your man join your quest for all that is new and exciting.

AQUARIUS
There is so much to get through today, and the more inventive and creative you are at making it as much fun as possible, the easier it will be. Short trips will be successful, but take great care on the roads. Love-wise you’re turned on by a combo of brains and brawn.

PISCES
It's a good time to negotiate a loan, especially to do with the purchase or renovation of a property. Have all the facts and figures ready, and know how you are going to repay what you owe. You have the energy to meet all your priorities. In love, let him be your slave.

As the Moon moves into Gemini today you're more eager than ever to know what's going on, and you're very ready to gossip, chat and laugh, and gain as much information as you can on everything possible. This is good for your career. Love will be fast and furious.

TAURUS
What do you want love-wise, whether it's slow and sensual or just a quick fix. Both are possible, just tell him what you want. You're making great gains in everything you do, though these are best kept to yourself for the moment.

GEMINI
Just about everything is boring and predictable, so it’s up to you to make your life fun and spontaneous. Friends are your means of success – but remember, you do need your personal space and so do they.

CANCER
It's time to initiate any changes you want to make in your life. Don’t be scared as your personal reputation is at its highest. Take advantage of your self-confidence without making rash decisions. Even your love life seems lighter and more fun.

LEO
Luck is with you so you might want to take a risk or gamble. This doesn’t mean you should be reckless, though, as Neptune and Chiron are warning of imminent deception and loss. Lovemaking is all about fun, exhibitionism and role-playing.

VIRGO
Marriage or joint ventures will be very beneficial at the moment, and prosperity is within your grasp if you use common sense without extravagance. Love-wise, things might not be all they seemed at first – but is this because you're in a fickle mood?

LIBRA
You don’t need drama in your life today, just a light-hearted and fun time with your favourite man. Friends and colleagues help you expand your knowledge, make your working life easy and prosperous. Your health and energy levels are improving too.

SCORPIO
Your love life is improving, with more fun and light-heartedness than your usual intensity, though the sensuality is still there. You have more responsibilities at work as well as more money – don’t do so much that your health suffers.

SAGITTARIUS
You just want to have fun, flirtations and be lavishly spoilt. It's all about living the good life, and sharing it with your friends. This is a good time for further study or overseas travel – do whatever you need to do to expand your knowledge.

CAPRICORN
Your daily responsibilities both at work and at home could be wearing you down, and you long for a man to take you away from it all, lighten your load and let you have some (guilty) pleasures… go on – enjoy!

AQUARIUS
You probably aren’t in the mood for commitment; you just want a fling with someone who is light-hearted, fun and very sexy. This is an excellent time to buy a new computer, find a better internet deal, or purchase the latest gadgets.

PISCES
Money and luck are with you at the moment – as long as your priorities and values are strong and sound. You could decide on a new career from home, to study further or to help a member of your family. Your love-life is equally generous.

Make sure that any meetings, especially those involving travel, have a beneficial purpose. Listen to other peoples' ideas as they could really help you. Luckily pressures at work don’t seem to affect your buzzing libido.

TAURUS
Predictability in your love life is a turn-off, even if he has all the other attributes. You have to do something to liven it all up before you decide whether or not to move on. Remember, the more you give, the more you receive so be generous in all things.

GEMINI
If you’ve been doing too much socializing and attending too many business meetings you probably need some quiet time to catch up on work and sleep. You need an early night; if he's sensitive enough, he’ll understand.

CANCER
With so much to think about career-wise you don’t have much time left over for socializing, and your family is probably complaining. This evening, though, you should find time to meet up with friends and enjoy a laugh over a drink or a cup of coffee.

LEO
This looks like a good time for travelling abroad, exploring new ideas and learning new skills to take your plans for the future further. Love-wise, be flexible, and let your deepest feelings show.

VIRGO
The intensity and passion you feel at the moment will be relieved by doing something totally different – a trip away or studying something just for fun that will broaden your horizons. You expect adoration and ecstatic sex.

LIBRA
Indulging in new sensual experiences brings new passion and depth to your love life. If you share the same values and attitude towards money and possessions, you create a good foundation for the long-term.

SCORPIO
Your health is improved by some serious passion which lifts your spirits and makes you feel that life really is worth living. There is a lot of work for you to get through, though – don’t take too many risks, but try to be more methodical.

SAGITTARIUS
You are in the mood for love and romance, but both you and your man need a lot of attention so if you show him how much you care, he’ll reciprocate. Is he in the mood to be shown off, though?

CAPRICORN
Your home and family need your attention this month, but if you do too much your health will suffer. Make sure you relax with a massage or a long bubble-bath. Candlelight and soft music won't hurt, either.

AQUARIUS
You are doing a lot of talking, but is he really listening or just waiting for you to shut up and act? There could easily be a change of plans. Don’t stress, just go with the flow…

PISCES
There is a distinct lack of clarity in your finances. Don’t take action without first finding out all the facts and figures. Go on the internet and talk to financial experts. If you're feeling stressed, let your man pamper you – even if you have to drop some heavy hints.

As the Moon moves into Taurus you feel happier when everything is routine, structured and has a purpose. Money and possessions bring security when you feel out of control. When it comes to love and sex, just hope he has the staying power to satisfy you today.

TAURUS

Today you want the comfort of a loving, sexy man who will listen to you and help allay your fears. It's time to think about priorities and take responsibility for what you have to do. Health, exercise and diet should be your focus.

GEMINI
For most of today you’ll feel optimistic and confident – but occasionally your creative talents seem dried up and stale, and unappreciated by both friends and business associates. Have you taken on too many responsibilities? Love-wise, you're super-sensitive.

CANCER
Trying to juggle the demands of your home and your career proves to be too demanding, leaving you exhausted no matter how confident you are. Talk to your business associates instead of leaving them in the dark. Sex proves to be healing.

LEO
You need to work out your priorities: do you travel overseas or sort out the issues in your local community; expand your horizons or work in your present neighbourhood? Let go and just let it happen.

VIRGO
An exciting, cultivated and sexy man could come into your life – how lucky is that? Try not to be too intense, or channel this intensity into your daily work so you don’t miss out any of the important details like paying your taxes, debts and collecting money you are owed.

LIBRA
The more feminine you are today the better – without putting blocks on any sensual experiences, where excess is the word. Saturn is suggesting you take responsibility - for your sexual health too.

SCORPIO
You think you are in control but there are men who still have the power to excite you. Health-wise, take care and watch your step as accidents can easily happen. Saturn suggests that over extending yourself will lead to burn-out.

SAGITTARIUS
You need your man to share your hobbies, likes and dislikes – otherwise, you’ll be up and off. The only thing that might tempt you to stay is outlandishly energetic sex. Saturn brings up friendship issues.

CAPRICORN
The emphasis is on your home and family with Saturn nudging you not to neglect your work and career. It's a good time to carry out repairs or renovations to your home - and to repair any family disputes. In love, knowledge is power – but don’t let him know.

AQUARIUS
Neighbourhood issues are taking up your time. You can accomplish everything you set out to do and more, just watch your driving, avoid accidents and ensure that your car is in good condition. Saturn suggests you should go abroad for a complete break. Is he passionate enough for you?

PISCES
You might fulfil his fantasies and sweep him off his feet – but what about yours? If he adheres to your code of ethics it’s a start as Saturn is warning you not to take rash financial risks. Be responsible for your own finances and debts.

As Neptune moves into Pisces the demands of so many planets in your own sign becomes overwhelming. All you want to do is run away and escape, but what you need is to slow down. You need your man to nurture you today.

TAURUS
You could easily become disillusioned by what you think is a lack of appreciation by your boss, not enough pay or unsupportive friends. Think clearly about whether this response is justified. You need him to fulfil some of your fantasies.

GEMINI
Try not to be disillusioned by your boss or your parents – they are only human. You are more intense than usual with a lot of pent-up energy. Exercise, seeing friends or participating in your favourite hobby will help, as will energetic sex.

CANCER
Misplaced idealism (avoid self-made gurus), unrealistic projects and fanatical ideas could do more harm than good. It is vital that you keep your feet firmly on the ground, and avoid any kind of social drugs, alcohol – even dangerous love-making.

LEO
You need to be realistic about financial matters now that Neptune is moving into Pisces - and be very honest about your motives. Only take advice from qualified and trustworthy experts. A new erotic move stimulates you both.

VIRGO
Neptune moves into your house of relationships for a few years making you unrealistic about your friends, colleagues and lovers as your ideals and expectations are too high. Luckily, your man finds you totally ravishing at the moment.

LIBRA
Neptune moving into Pisces for a few years means it is vital that you don’t indulge in alcohol, drugs or dodgy diets and fitness schemes. Your illnesses are difficult to diagnose so finding a good health practitioner is important. Love is an erotic challenge.

SCORPIO
Love will be blind for the next few years leading to heartache unless you stay practical and alert. Don’t take risks with your money, and get-rich-quick schemes are a no-no. On the up-side, your imagination and creative talents are heightened.

SAGITTARIUS
Be on the alert for burst water pipes, gas stoves, leaking roofs and chemicals in your home. Caution is needed over any real estate deals whether buying, selling or renting. Your love life seems a bit superficial today, but it does fulfil some of your fantasies.

CAPRICORN
You need to know everything about him as it makes you feel empowered. Try not to impose too many rules. At work you have wonderful new ideas, but are they practical? A mistake now could damage your future prospects.

AQUARIUS
Vagueness and mistakes can undermine your self confidence so be careful to check your facts, stay alert and don’t make quick financial decisions. Unwise extravagance is a no-no. Keeping your love affair secret adds spice.

PISCES
Neptune moves into your sign for a few years encouraging you to project an attractive air of glamour, helplessness and mystery – but is this a cover-up for feelings of self-pity? You are in the mood to be swept off your feet.

Your self-confidence is high so use it to your advantage to keep to commitments, make decisions and solve all your problems. You no longer have to have sleepless nights. Don’t push yourself too far.

TAURUS
Use your intuition to understand your fears and show you the way forward in all areas of your life. Helping the underprivileged will help you too. He finds your healthy glow irresistible.

GEMINI
Does a good friend make a good lover? It’s up to you to show him the way. As well as going after what you want, it's time to ditch what you don’t want, no matter how hard it might be to let go. Saturn is trying to dampen your enthusiasm – don’t let it.

CANCER
Instead of trying to plan your life, let spontaneity rule today – you’ll be surprised at where life (and your love relationships) can take you as problems and obstacles fade away. Moodiness is the only set-back.

LEO
Saturn suggests that there could be delays so if you're travelling make sure you have your passport and documents safe at hand, that your car has petrol, and that you leave enough time for possible delays. In love, you are the powerhouse.

VIRGO
Is there a surgical procedure on the cards? It's vital you are in charge and do what you want to do. Don’t be persuaded by other people’s agendas. Someone will repay a favour.

LIBRA
Talk about wild... But with so many planets in your house of love, what else can you expect? This is spilling over into all areas of your life where other people are involved. You can achieve everything now. Legal issues look positive despite frustrations and delays.

SCORPIO
Your latest love affair might not last as it seems a bit too time-consuming. Enjoy the active passion while you can. You are getting through a huge amount of work, but watch your health as migraines and fevers are possible if you get over tired.

SAGITTARIUS
Quieter than usual, you need your man to take the lead – as long as it is what you want to do. Are things overly complicated? You need straightforward romantic love today because with so much socializing, business meetings and networking you don’t have much energy left.

CAPRICORN
You need to feel the love of your family around you and to know that, despite being independent, you are still part of the wider family group. It's okay to pursue your own career and life. Don’t let your personal planet, Saturn, make you feel insecure.

AQUARIUS
As you spend the day rushing around, doing errands and going from meeting to meeting you need to be extra careful on the road in order to avoid accidents. Don’t use your cell phone whilst driving. Exotic sex will satisfy your buzzing libido.

PISCES
Generosity in all things today is the key – the more you give, the more you receive. This goes for money as well as in your love life. Show affection, concern and care, and he will reciprocate with loving tenderness.

As Mars and the Moon both join the Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Uranus in your own sign you suddenly realise that you can do and achieve everything, and that you are mistress of your own destiny. Have fun and enjoy a vibrant love life.

TAURUS
Understand your life through a spiritual perspective, and be aware that you are being guided by something much greater than logic. Take time out alone to think and meditate about what you really want. Fantasize about that sexy stud – he’s out there!

GEMINI
As Mars and the Moon move into Aries you direct your efforts towards your friends and business colleagues. Network and get involved in group activities, but try not to scatter your energies too much. Love will be totally uninhibited.

CANCER
Your spontaneity could surprise your colleagues and boss, and all this extra work will bring in new business and financial rewards for everybody concerned. Don’t sit back – now is the time to promote yourself. The idea of a dangerous sexual adventure excites, but it's not worth the risk.

LEO
It's time to take off on an adventure whether it's an overseas trip, writing that book or studying a foreign language – and also for having a mutually intense, very warm and loving love affair. A meeting could be postponed, but don’t get upset.

VIRGO
Close attention to detail is required by Mars, especially where your finances are concerned. Investigate all possibilities, and don’t forget to claim any monies owed to you. Is he ambitious enough for you?

LIBRA
This month the strength is in your relationships and alliances. Take all the help you need. You might crave some quiet time alone, but you’ll need to lock your doors as everyone wants to be with you. You need an undemanding but sexual man.

SCORPIO
Your energy will be directed towards your work which is just as well as you have more than the usual amount to get through. Face problems, but don't be aggressive or lose your temper. You have great new ideas. In love, you are the prize he’s been waiting for.

SAGITTARIUS
You might have to make a commitment decision which is very hard for you. Sex is fantastic, but is it forever? Think carefully. You just want to enjoy having fun in your own independent way. Your love life should be romantic and enthusiastic – not predictable!

CAPRICORN
If you want something done, do it yourself. Get out the paint-brushes and your overalls, and find the hammer, nails and drill. You want to buy, sell or rent? Get hold of a local agent. And get that broken chair mended. Love-wise, an infatuation deepens.

AQUARIUS
You’ll be very tempted to speak your mind, probably bursting into tears with the emotion of it all. You already have the progressive ideas – now turn them into reality. In love matters, don’t impose your ego too much. It's time to be playful and fun.

PISCES

Don’t expect too much from your man, especially if this is a new relationship. Think about whether he really is the right one for you: it will be easier to move on before things get too serious. It’s time to be warm and loving rather than sexy and fierce.

TAURUS
A friend could introduce you to that special person, but don’t let your emotions get out of control. Avoid excess alcohol and social drugs, and use your intuition at work where you have less control but more responsibilities.

GEMINI
You probably find friendship easier to handle than love and romance at the moment. You could also find your man a bit too dependent or trying to impose restrictions. Your career is very healthy and networking helps.

CANCER
The demands of your family could stand in the way of your career goals. Balance your time rather than losing your cool, and express your feelings with warmth. Let your man heal your stress with uncomplicated lovemaking.

LEO
Great opportunities for travel and study are on offer, but it's local issues that take up your time. Your have more understanding of what is going on despite Saturn imposing restrictions. Make sure your car is in good working order.

VIRGO
This month is about the responsible handling of money and resources but other, equally important issues slow down the achievement of your financial goals. You need sensational lovemaking to help you relax.

LIBRA
You and your man seem at odds today as you have one agenda and he has another. Rather than try to impose your views on each other try working together and find that elusive balance. There is work to be done – don’t ignore it.

SCORPIO
You are over-sensitive at the moment – try not to indulge in self-pity or unnecessary guilt. Rather, get on with all the work you’ve taken on otherwise you’ll end up ill or too stressed to accomplish anything. Love has a big 'wow' factor.

SAGITTARIUS
Your personal planet, Jupiter, is opposing Saturn – you want to have some fun, but Saturn says you’ll gain inner strength from working with groups and doing community work in your neighbourhood. Strive for balance.

CAPRICORN
With Jupiter exaggerating the traits of your personal planet, Saturn, it's time to lighten up and have some fun. Invite friends home for coffee or supper. Your creative talents bring new excitement to your work.

AQUARIUS
When you stop talking long enough, you’ll find new inspiration to light up your love life. If there is a delay in an overseas trip or a study programme, attend local lectures and seminars instead. It's time to listen and learn.

PISCES

Something could happen to remind you that you aren’t immortal but a spiritual being as well as a good businesswoman. It's time to handle the responsibility of debt and to re-assess your attitude towards money.

Not only is the Moon moving into Pisces, it will be in Pisces' own house so expect to be very emotional. You might want to spend time alone as other people’s problems just get too much. Let your man comfort you.

TAURUS
Friends, business associates and groups are the cause of very strong feelings as emotions run high, confusion abounds and you're feeling very vulnerable. Don’t make hasty decisions – think and meditate on them first. At home, if you can, enjoy some untamed sex.

GEMINI
You are probably too busy for love as your career, colleagues and other groups take up all your time today. It is all hard work as your creative talents are dampened by Saturn.

CANCER
Your career is important but you're dreaming of trips abroad, travelling to distant countries and meeting people from different cultures. If possible, mix business with pleasure. Is this a life-changing relationship?

LEO
There is intense, unrestrained passion in everything you do, but emotional security is more important today than anything else. Your man is being very generous with you today, and even the bank is offering you a loan.

VIRGO
Intense love and passion is one thing – but what is your man really offering? If he's restless or a bit unstable, you need to think about whether you can you handle this kind of relationship. Sex is extravagant and very memorable.

LIBRA
To work well you need to be emotionally involved with everything you're doing. The same goes for your love life: while you might enjoy a one-night affair, for real love to develop you have to have the emotional connection.

SCORPIO
Let your uniqueness spill over into everything you do. Give your creative talents time to develop, and you’ll soon see your dreams being fulfilled. Love-wise, you are in tune with him – but, is he the right one?

SAGITTARIUS
Do you long for the security of to your childhood home? If you live alone or with your man, you must make your living space a place of safety, peace as well as fun. You don’t need to be reminded of just how sexy you are.

CAPRICORN
You're very aware of what’s going in your life at the moment – no-one has to tell you anything. You're more imaginative than usual, and you can put this to good use when decorating or furnishing your home. Love thrives on tender sex.

AQUARIUS
You return to old family values, even if it feels a bit sentimental. Discuss your financial issues with experts rather than friends, siblings and neighbours. Unwise action will make finances worse. Love is fast and furious.

PISCES
You seem far more receptive and instinctive than usual as the Moon energizes your feelings and responses. Use your intuition to increase your finances – don't try to rely on anyone else to help. Love needs to be light rather than emotional and heavy.

Try not to be overly opinionated when talking to business associates, groups or friends – this will only delay your plans further. It's best not to make any life-changing decisions for the next few days – wait. A new man looks very tempting.

TAURUS
You want your career to be on a new and firmer footing, but there is confusion and a lack of direction. Just go with the flow – you instinctively know when the time is right to speak out or move on. Love-wise, is it time to get more vocal?

GEMINI
In love, you have to have a connection on every level for the relationship to last in the long- term, and generosity is the key. The question of an overseas trip or further studies keeps cropping up – wait a few days before making a decision.

CANCER
You feel you can’t commit to anything at the moment (even your love life could suffer). It will sort itself out, so don’t worry if your routine is upset. Your creative talents flourish. Keep your personal possessions safe.

LEO
Think of him as well as yourself if you want the sex to be great. If you are only interested in your personal luxury, pleasure and wealth everything could back-fire. Consider an overseas trip or even moving abroad, and make your decision within the next few days.

VIRGO
You seem on the same wave-length as your man, so play out your fantasies without worrying about all the adverse possibilities that could happen in your life. Concentrate on your potential – the sky is the limit.

LIBRA
This should still be the happiest time of the year for your love life – it's intense, passionate, romantic and time-consuming. Remember that you are free to make your own decisions. Don’t ignore your work and your health.

SCORPIO
Your health is far more important now than it has been for a while. Take preventative measures in the form of extra vitamins, exercise and a healthy diet. Don’t get over-tired as there is a lot of work to get through. Love is unusually nurturing.

SAGITTARIUS
Despite being very creative, your personal planet is in hard aspect to Neptune so you aren’t sure which direction to take. Love-wise, it's party time so have as much fun as possible and let romance flourish. You thrive on all the attention.

CAPRICORN
Finances are good as you listen before taking action. Your self-confidence could be taking a battering – don’t worry, all will be well in a few days but it's best not to make life-changing decisions for the next few days. Your family gives you loving support.

AQUARIUS
It's a good time to plan further studies, and you undertake them just for fun rather than to improve your career prospects. Your mind is sharp and receptive and you're ready to teach others your skills and knowledge. Love-wise, you have to make an effort.

PISCES
Confusion reigns today. Your finances should be at their yearly peak, but with your personal planet, Neptune, involved today you lack direction. Look at all the possibilities, but don’t make decisions for a few days. Erotic sex makes up for everything.

If someone tells you something in confidence don’t lose your cool or over-react. Give yourself time to think about the situation before you take action. Keep your love life to yourself – a bit of mystery keeps things exciting.

TAURUS
He’s all ears right now, but make sure what you have to say is important rather than just boring trivia or gossip. Make it fun and exciting - even if you have to exaggerate. Love is complex.

GEMINI
You want the freedom to say and do what you want and to decide on your next course of action – but colleagues, friends and even your man have their own ideas. At least he understands where you’re coming from, though generosity in bed is necessary.

CANCER
Passions are running deep at work, and there are career decisions to be made which can be upsetting. In matters of love, he seems to feel responsible for your mood swings – doesn’t he realise that’s part of being you?

LEO
Love is the key to everything you do, and you seem to be attracting a lot of it at the moment. This could also bring tension and jealousy, so you need to be straightforward and honest. You could benefit from somebody else's money.

VIRGO
Everything, especially work, is full of passion and intensity. It's essential that you have the same goals and values. In your love life you are looking for excitement as well as romantic passion, and you might be in for a surprise.

LIBRA
With your love life being so strong and your fun-loving nature, it's no wonder your creative talents are being stretched in all directions. When you use these talents to turn your love-making into an elaborate, dramatic ritual, he’ll be overwhelmed.

SCORPIO
Your work benefits from the way you treat your colleagues in an almost maternal way today. They should reciprocate by helping you in whatever way possible – a mutually satisfying
result. Your sex appeal keeps the love relationship exciting.

SAGITTARIUS
Communication is important in all areas of your life – don’t put words in his mouth. You want fun more than love today, and you're enjoying the trappings of romance without the commitment.

CAPRICORN
A battle of wills plays out at home which easily becomes a battle ground if you aren’t careful. Is it your intensity that is causing the problems? If you don’t want to go out, let him bring you a take-away - and a bottle of champagne, just for fun.

AQUARIUS
You want it all and you can have it all – but be ready for others to get upset and jealous, especially if you become too powerful. Your man can handle it as long as there is togetherness on most levels.

PISCES
You might want to be alone, especially if money matters are getting too much for you to handle. Take expert advice and think laterally (hard for Pisces). Your sex-life is exciting and frenetic so take him with you into your cave.

The Moon moving into Aquarius suggests that you have your own ideas and won’t listen to anyone today. As you find it hard to co-operate, use charm and your friends will still love you. Only erotic sex will satisfy you today.

TAURUS
You're dreaming of distant things and of what might have been, whether it's that perfect job you once turned down or a man who slipped through your fingers. The Moon tells you to get real and concentrate on your life right now.

GEMINI
You could make an early breakthrough at work as your imagination is running riot, and you're dreaming up all kinds of new projects and activities for you and your colleagues. Together, you and your man are a powerful pair.

CANCER
Intensity rules today which is not easy as your passionate nature could get out of hand. Try not to fight with your man, even though the making up will be fun, wild and exhausting. A disagreement at work requires charm and understanding.

LEO
Various issues at work make you wonder whether you need further study to get up the corporate ladder, or whether you should work abroad to gain more experience. Both have their merits. The man in your life is also having his say.

VIRGO
Are you attracted to someone from a different background who is also much younger or older? He might be your fantasy man, and the ride will be fun but intense. Try to avoid arguments over money, especially shared accounts.

LIBRA
A day for creating your life and fulfilling your dreams whether it's painting, theatre, music or love. Don’t limit yourself; go with the flow and see what happens. You also have the entrepreneurial touch today which means you could make money.

SCORPIO
There could be an argument with a colleague at work, perhaps over who is in charge of a project. Talk it through, but watch your body language as this says more than words. Is your love affair becoming serious?

SAGITTARIUS
Be creative with your money – invest in different ways, and think about renovating your home. Today is all about your décor and choosing the right colours, fabrics and works of art. Give a talk in your neighbourhood and involve yourself in community affairs. Is he giving you the attention you crave?

CAPRICORN
Is there a battle of wills between you and your man over money, and is he criticizing you for buying only the best? What does he expect of a Capricorn – you thrive on style. Never mind, you'll be getting some mega hot sex.

AQUARIUS
Your love life could suffer today as there is just no time for anything. You are rushing around, working, thinking up new ideas, achieving targets and telling everyone else what to do. Perhaps you need to trust others a little bit more?

PISCES
Don’t complain about no-one adoring you – even you can have too much of a good thing. You are highly sensitive to everything today, and may need time alone to relax, meditate and just be.

You’d love to abandon yourself to the unknown, but something seems to be holding you back. Is it fear? You seem more sensitive than usual which adds to the stress of your complicated love life. Your career is a major success.

TAURUS
Your personal planet moves into Pisces today and you're longing for a partner to share your life, be your inspiration and to make beautiful music together. Is this the reality? You need stability and luxury more than others.

GEMINI
Venus suggests you flaunt yourself today so look the part and dress for success, especially in business meetings and when giving talks to groups. However difficult it is for you to understand everything, make the effort.

CANCER
Being in the public eye today is vital for career success, but you need the co-operation of everyone so be diplomatic, friendly and as helpful as possible. This is a good time for public relations and marketing. In love, you need to be patient.

LEO
If you’ve been studying to rise up the corporate ladder, now is the time to put it into practice. Joint income, a business partnership, loans and the paying of accounts are all issues to be discussed. Sex is 'down and dirty'.

VIRGO
Romance is everywhere and passion could easily be roused, especially if you share common goals. It's important that you concentrate on what others want rather than putting all the focus on your own needs.

LIBRA
You need your office to be a place of peace as well as hard work so bring in plants, paintings and give your work space a fresh coat of paint. This, in turn, relaxes you, so there could be love at the office or through a colleague.

SCORPIO
Although the emphasis is on your work, Venus is telling you to take time out for some romance. Accept social invitations and expand your social network, but don't be extravagant. Use your imagination at work.

SAGITTARIUS
Venus suggests it's time to spend money on improving your home through renovating and decorating. Improve the quality of your life with books and music. A legal matter connected to your family may need attention. Be bold in love.

CAPRICORN
Find your sense of humour today. What's even more important is your charm when talking to neighbours, siblings and the local community. You know what you want, but if you're too demanding you’ll get nothing. Don't hurry love!

AQUARIUS
Your income could increase at the moment, but it's best if you don’t talk about it to colleagues, neighbours or anyone else. Chat about everything else instead, especially if you're writing a newsletter or talking to your local community. Love is explosive.

PISCES
Your physical appearance is important today, especially if you're involved in business meetings or discussions about finance. Be as charming, helpful and co-operative as possible if you want everyone’s attention. Let's be honest, you're dying for a bit of love.

Career-wise, a busy day ahead, so structure and organize your life if you want to achieve everything you want. Follow your instincts, but remain honest and trustworthy. You're warm emotionally, and your love life looks quite dramatic.

TAURUS
You're tired of keeping to yourself. Today you need to get out there, make new friends and travel. A foreign element is important and could lead to a new relationship. Don’t worry if there are delays – it all adds to the adventure.

GEMINI
You want intense passion in your love life today, but is he up to this? If there is no-one around that stirs your emotions, perhaps you should spend more time with friends, groups and colleagues – who knows where it could lead?

CANCER
The Moon moves into Capricorn, lighting up your love life in a structured but extremely erotic way. Common goals are important; make sure you are on the same wave-length when it comes to financial matters.

LEO
The emphasis is on the role you play in the lives of those around you – but there could be someone out there who isn’t all they seem to be. Be careful, especially if your ambitions take over from common sense.

VIRGO
Use your creative talents in an ordered but passionate way and you’ll soon see your dreams come true. Working in a team brings benefits while love-wise, romance adds to the intensity of your passion.

SCORPIO
Today is all about how you communicate. Be sensitive and understanding and you’ll get everyone’s co-operation, especially at home. The internet will give you information about health problems. Love-wise, you are in charge.

SAGITTARIUS
Using your creative talents is one thing; making money from them is another. You need to be practical and hard-working to ensure that you have the right niche in the market. Use all your contacts, friends and business associates. Love is big!

CAPRICORN
A lack of direction in your home life proves confusing as you don’t seem sure of what you want. Dreaming and fantasizing are fine for now. Delay making decisions for another week or so. Being friends as well as lovers is essential.

AQUARIUS
You know what you want from your present relationship, but does he want the same thing? The same goes for all your decisions – talk them through but don’t be a nag. Be ready to change your plans when the situation demands.

PISCES
Your man inspires your wildest ambitions, especially when it comes to making money. Be practical and think everything through in an ordered way. It isn’t the best time to sign contracts – wait a couple of weeks or at least get professional advice.

The Moon is making you work very hard - maybe a little too hard? Don’t let stress take over and cause you to over-react to the slightest hint of disagreement. Even in your friendships you could go over the top. Cool it.

TAURUS
Try to avoid making dramatic gestures at work. Everyone knows you how passionate you are, so opt, instead, to be your usual co-operative, agreeable self. Let his self-confidence boost yours.

GEMINI
You want fun today with friends who might even introduce you to that special man – but Mars insists it is time for catching up with business associates and networking to give your career a welcome boost. Surely you can blend them both?

CANCER
Go with the flow today at work – if you get upset by little things such as changes in plans you will only cause a difficult emotional situation. The more co-operative you are, the easier your life will be. Let him relax you with wild sex.

LEO
You want your man to be your friend, passionate lover and generous partner and, most likely will find just the one. Try not to be too pushy; rather, hold back a little and use your creative genius to come up with an unusual ploy.

VIRGO
There could be a few money worries at home, and they won’t be solved by arguments or hostility. Talking and agreeing on a mutually satisfying way forward will help in the long-term. Remember - you are your own woman.

LIBRA
There are no limits to your love life, and you can be as naughty as you like. If you want to indulge in gadgets, now is the time. At work, communication is the key so get on the phone, mail business associates and talk to colleagues.

SCORPIO
At work, clear up any lingering money issues before you become stressed and ill. Otherwise your health looks good. At home, your man is ready to advise on financial issues – listen, but know you don’t have to take his or anyone’s advice.

SAGITTARIUS
A day to be spontaneous and social. Even if you over-indulge you can revitalize yourself with some vigorous sex (the best workout). This is one of the best days all month so make use of it to boost your finances as well as your career.

CAPRICORN
Not a day for socializing or even going out. If you are on your own, do all those special 'girly’ things you never seem to have enough time for. Those of you in a relationship, have an evening in, and give mutual massages to relax you both.

AQUARIUS
Are people jealous of you? They should be, as today you seem to have it all. This is a great day for being in contact with business associates, friends and social groups – everyone wants to listen to you now. Love is lusty.

PISCES
You seem totally in control at work – just don’t lose your cool with those who aren’t pulling their weight or seem to enjoy disagreeing with you. You don’t want your man to be too dominant or aggressive. You’ll have to talk to him about this.

If your love life isn’t living up to expectations, you need to socialize more. The trouble is you could go too far with your partying, extravagant gestures and over-indulging in wine and dangerous sexual games. Be careful.

TAURUS
This is the time of year when you can gain insights into your life through dreams and intuition. Your spirituality is important, and you might want to explore different religions and philosophies. In love you want the good life.

GEMINI
It's all about too much of a good thing bringing unfortunate consequences. You could be tempted to show off with your money – and end up with a much smaller bank balance and your ‘friends’ all gone. Love and business are synchronised.

CANCER
There is a lot of emotional pressure on you at work and you seem busier than ever. Financial concerns are also worrying you. Don’t let the problems keep you awake at night - your favourite man will lift your mood.

LEO
He needs to both friend and lover for you to be happy. This is a great time to book a holiday abroad with him as love, romance and passion are all high on your agenda. Does he share your spiritual beliefs? Build your career through extra studies.

VIRGO
Passions are running high at home as there is a lot to be done. It’s no use making extravagant gestures – better to get down to some work. Try not to be judgmental of your man if he won’t help. At least sexually you're satisfied.

LIBRA
You are enjoying a very social time now, but perhaps you should talk to your latest romantic partner about your future. You might just be in party mode and having as much fun as you can – but is he?

SCORPIO
Money and career are today’s headline activities, and his luck seems to be rubbing off on you. It might not be the best day to discuss financial matters at work though – wait a few days. In love, you're up for anything.

SAGITTARIUS
Spontaneity is the name of the game today. You're enjoying your life, and looking for love and romance in everything you do (romance doesn’t always mean a sexy man). Your creative talents should be used at home and at work.

CAPRICORN
Your energy is still focussed on your home and family. For some, a problem there could really keep you awake at night. Do what you can to help, but don’t make yourself ill. In love, he's super-cheeky and full of audacity - you love it.

AQUARIUS
Network today – visit friends, business associates and make new contacts. Get on the computer, email friends and get onto social networking sites. Just be careful what you say, and don’t do anything you’ll regret later. Love is awesome.

PISCES

This is a day to broaden your outlook and see the bigger picture. You need an adventure – is it time to plan a trip overseas? You don’t want rules or regulations, but does your man understand? Hopefully he’ll join you.

TAURUS
Your feelings about your work associates and friends seem very confused today with both Venus and Neptune squaring the Moon. Passions run deep in your love life too and sexually, you're insatiable.

GEMINI
Love-wise, if it's wild sex you are after, this could be your lucky day. He has to be bold and strong enough to handle your emotional games. You could also be confused about a friend becoming a love interest – is this what you want?

CANCER
You want passion in your life, but making the commitment is difficult for you today. Confusion could reign, but don’t get upset, just go with the flow today and let tomorrow take care of itself.

LEO
For some of you, the thought of giving up your home and independence for marriage is a bit too much at the moment. Relax and don’t say anything – rather, wait a couple of days. The colour violet will help clarify things.

VIRGO
This evening the Moon moves into your house of home, so make it a tranquil space where you can get away from the stresses of work and uncertainty about your future. Tomorrow you’ll be stronger and in the mood for more adventure.

LIBRA
Don’t worry about your work – use your creative talents and you’ll soon receive financial rewards. Instead of giving way to your emotions and listening to mixed messages, be independent. Your man appreciates your talents.

SCORPIO
He seems to be bringing good luck into your life and together you make a cosy home, even if sometimes you feel a bit hemmed in and in need of more freedom and adventure. Don’t make quick decisions; rather, let love rule.

SAGITTARIUS
You want it all and you can have it all. You're adventurous and full of ideas, and together you seem to bring in lots of luck and wealth. Instead of ruining it all by wilfully changing your plans, let fun sex revitalize your spirits.

CAPRICORN
It's all about glamour, fun, climbing the social ladder and showing yourselves off as the ideal pair… but, is this a lasting relationship? Uranus is asking uncomfortable questions, but you don’t have to listen. Your home and family are your support.

AQUARIUS
Today is all about you and your career. There is nothing you can’t do if you put your mind to it. Don’t let Neptune interfere and confuse matters. So what if your ideas aren’t practical? Work on them. Love is ecstatic.

PISCES
Watch out for danger today – not everything or everyone is what they seem to be. Your intuition is strong, so let it guide you. Your love life looks equally confusing – just relax and enjoy some fabulous sex.

You have some interesting and innovative ideas but, as usual, you take things just a bit too far. If you do change things, make sure they are really for the better and not just to prove a point. Love is erotic.

TAURUS
It's time to break away from the past. You're strong, independent and full of new ideas. You could be involved with a charity, a hospital or willingly give your time to someone ill. Love-wise, don’t be too eager to please.

GEMINI
You need a man who calms you, not one that makes you even more manic. Commitment seems to be a certainty, but tension at work suggests that this isn’t the best day for meetings with business associates. It might be a good idea just to wait a day or two?

CANCER
Change seems inevitable, and your career, life-style and goals are all under consideration. How exciting! It does cause tension, though, so wait a few days before making permanent decisions. Sex-wise, it is all very athletic – are you fit enough?

LEO
Your travel plans may have to be unexpectedly changed or your studies could be interrupted. Don't sweat, just re-schedule. This is all because of the Sun/Uranus conjunction. Love-wise, watch out for his temper.

VIRGO
Why don’t you want to be in control of your love life? You probably won’t get exactly what you want, but something unexpected might crop up. Be aware of your own self-worth, and strive for financial independence.

LIBRA
Uranus is making your love life a bit unstable. There could a sudden marriage or break-up, or you could meet someone new. It's all very unconventional and exciting. Business-wise, it's important that you are very careful with legal documents.

SCORPIO
An exciting new job offer could come up, but be careful as it might not be exactly what was promised. Health-wise, investigate carefully before embarking on a new diet or exercise regime. Love is over-emotional - you need to chill out.

SAGITTARIUS
Your new man might be quite different to your usual lovers, and you find this exciting, but dangerous. You are ready to take a few risks in your pursuit of pleasure, but you need to be careful. Your imagination and creative talents take a new direction at work. What will your boss think?

CAPRICORN
You seem to have no control over what's happening with your home and your family. The only thing you can do is go with the flow so that you don’t experience additional stress. Actually, your sex life is improved by a good argument.

AQUARIUS
You want to be more independent, especially when you meet someone with new and radical ideas who inspires you to develop new skills. Be careful when trying out your new ideas, and avoid accidents. Love is hot and primitive.

PISCES
Your approach to money is different, to say the least – but this means your finances are a bit unstable so don’t waste your resources, take risks or take your income for granted. Sexually, you're on the same wave-length as your man and you're able to help him up the corporate ladder.

As the Sun Moves into Aries, you need to look at what boosts your self-esteem and perhaps let go of anyone who pulls you down, criticizes or demeans you. The important thing is to value yourself. Love-wise, an argument ends in spectacular sex.

ARIES
Later, the Sun moves into your own sign bringing the emphasis totally on to you and the pride you take in yourself. You're thinking of ways to develop your self-image, and you feel. more motivated as well. Your sex life is addictive.

TAURUS
The focus is on how you deal with your successes and failures, and you will gain great inner strength when you take time out to come to terms with your life. A sexual connection is for keeps even if the relationship ends.

GEMINI
If anyone can lighten your man’s black mood, it’s you. Try a little fantasy. At work, the financial rewards you get become more important. Now is the time to go for what you need and believe you’re worth.

CANCER
Try not to argue about who does what at home. This doesn’t ruin your love life, though – instead, it brings something exciting and new. Work-wise, now is the time to look at your achievements and ensure that your career is going in the right direction.

LEO
You feel more at ease as the Sun moves into Aries. Focus your energies on sending out information, ideas and opinions – the more generous you are with your time at the moment, the better your results. If you are too stubborn, he’ll lose interest.

VIRGO
You are more complex than you let others know. If he wants to take more interest, you must be open and honest. Family inheritances and partnerships play a role as the Sun moves into
Aries. Debts must be paid off.

LIBRA
As the Sun moves into Aries you become more forceful and independent but, at the same time, willing to compromise if that will bring you the results you need. It's all about surrender – or at least playing that particular role, especially to spice up your love life.

SCORPIO
The efficient way you carry out your work is the focus of the Sun moving into Aries. The more pride you take in mundane, boring, everyday tasks brings rewards. Love-wise, expect sexual obsession to dominate.

SAGITTARIUS
He might want to keep you all to himself, but you thrive on freedom. At first, this is exciting and a great turn on, but becomes a problem later. How much domination can you take? The Arien Sun suggests you need more fun, romance and self-indulgence.

CAPRICORN
Being stubborn or arrogant works against a happy home life, especially if there are already problems in this area. Be assertive, but listen too. Love-wise you want your man to make your life easier, not harder.

AQUARIUS
You need your man to be with you and only you. At work it’s all about communication, computers, contacts and cars. How you deal with colleagues and business associates is important – develop these skills if you want to move up the corporate ladder.

20 March 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/20-march-2011 PISCES
Your interest in financial matters is progressive and innovative – just try not to take unnecessary risks or make impulsive decisions. When you understand all the implications you’ll be fine. Love is tense, but active sex helps.

ARIES
The main theme is still love and relationships – it's best if you control your emotions and don't give in to impulsive behaviour. On the other hand, wild sex really does suit you. Make sure he’s a friend as well as a lover.

TAURUS
The difficulty today lies in getting through all your work without giving in to feeling tired, listless or ill. Balance is needed in order for you not to become depressed or moody. Friends are supportive and love is imaginative.

GEMINI
He probably finds you too imaginative and overly enterprising, and probably has a hard time keeping up. As long as you're successful, he’ll be happy to tag along - except in bed where you have to ensure his self-esteem doesn't suffer.

CANCER
Career and your home are two major themes, though you are interested in a wide spectrum of activities from travel to further studying. The best course of action is to study in order to take your career up a few notches. Love is liberal and open.

LEO
Love, when good, takes you higher and higher, but will really get you down today if it's bad. Don’t let moodiness make you ill and unable to get through the day’s work. You could easily decide to take off somewhere. Be careful on the roads.

VIRGO
If he offers financial security, you might be tempted – even if he’s totally wrong for you. Think very carefully before making a decision. You are extremely feminine, and love a bit of a rough macho man.

LIBRA
A lot is going on in your love life and relationships, and you might need more freedom than usual, or at least some time to yourself. Don’t be afraid to say what you want. If you want to change your plans, just do it.

SCORPIO
You tend to be a bit secretive about what you really feel about everything from your man, romance to your work. There could be tension in your love life today as you just don’t seem to understand each other at all. Don't stress, it will pass.

SAGITTARIUS
You have so many interests, it's no wonder your man thinks you should focus and concentrate on one thing. But this goes against your innermost needs. Follow your heart, and do what makes you feel happy and content. A business associate can offer good advice.

CAPRICORN
Family and work take up your time. If you feel it's all too much, talk to both sides and compromise. This will be easy with the Moon in Libra. Finances look good. Let him lighten your emotional baggage, and have some fun together.

AQUARIUS
The Sun in relation to your personal planet suggests action, but too much radical thought could make things difficult. Do you have balance? You and your man seem in tune though both mentally and in bed, where enthusiasm reigns.

19 March 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/19-march-2011 PISCES
You have to talk about money matters – try not to be too emotional and upset yourself. It has to be sorted out, especially if the tension is causing problems. Procrastination will only make things worse. In love, passion stimulates your libido.

ARIES
You and your man have to be great friends as well as lover – but even so, are you faithful? You expect him to provide the wild sex you enjoy. Be careful of accidents at the moment, and also of nervous tension.

TAURUS
The day starts well enough, but goes downhill later. Stress could set in, so make sure you don’t overdo things today. Enlist the help of your colleagues and friends. Co-operation really will help and, whatever you do, don’t gossip. When you get going, love is really hot.

GEMINI
Everything benefits from your creative imagination today – your career as well as your love life. You could get irritated if he continues to follow rather than lead. Luckily, friends will provide stimulation.

CANCER
What is stimulating your libido today? Be open with your partner as he won’t know if you don’t tell him. Issues between your family and work could cause tension and anger. Try to stay calm. Think pink or indigo.

LEO
Upsets over money early in the day could mean you have to use charm and flattery to mend a few fences. If you have the need for freedom, book yourself a holiday before you decide to move on altogether.

VIRGO
It isn’t any good just talking about love and passion – action will be needed to prove your point. However, it might be best to wait a couple of days. At work, take time to develop your talents and skills.

LIBRA
You seem to be in the mood for an erotic battle of the sexes – is your man up to it? Just remember there is work to be finished, and you could over-react if criticized for not finishing on time.

SCORPIO
Health matters could take up your time as well as that of someone close. The latter could leave you feeling tired and ready for a couple of early nights. Try to keep to your daily routine as this keeps you balanced. In love, you seem to have a secret.

SAGITTARIUS
You can have it all today – love, a successful career and everything else you need. Your home life still takes up much of your time, but a meeting with business associates takes you mind off everything else.

CAPRICORN
You don’t suffer fools, and you want to be in charge. Perhaps everyone is not as stupid as you think? You’ll make more progress if you co-operate. Try not to carry emotional baggage into the bedroom; your libido needs to be free to enjoy itself.

AQUARIUS
Upping your knowledge and skills are on the agenda today – are you learning or doing the teaching? Whichever, it’ll be successful if you keep your mind focussed. There is the possibility of an accident, so be careful whatever you do. Love is inventive.

Is someone disagreeing with you over money? Don’t just go along with them because you are feeling a bit unsure. It's time to get expert advice. Wait at least a week before changing your plans. Is love real?

ARIES
At work, if you want to get a project finished, you need to enlist the help and cooperation of colleagues. You might have to give up some of your authority (short term) in order to get everything done on time. Love remains a puzzle.

TAURUS
Be optimistic about your love life – finally, it's going somewhere real. Love and business partnerships may be going through financial pressure. It's all a matter of who is in control, and openness and honesty are essential.

GEMINI
Saturn is opposing your personal planet which causes some tension between you and business associates or friends. Try to avoid any serious disagreements; rather, wait a few days until matters become clearer. Love is more of a challenge for him than it is for you.

CANCER
You want to be noticed and to be seen as a leader, but can you handle having to speak about your innermost feelings? Keep focussed on your career – even if your family is demanding. Is his libido enough for you?

LEO
Whether it's to do with money or work, make whatever adjustments are necessary. Keep the situation light and fun, and be creative in how you deal with it all. Expect a delay in your travel plans, both local and overseas. Feeling jealous? Lighten up!

VIRGO
You probably want to be left alone rather than go out partying as you're in the mood for romantic and sensual love. This is a great time for home beauty treatments, so give yourself a facial or try out a new hair colour.

LIBRA
Being in love with love is wonderful - often fantasy or secret love is even more exciting than the real thing. Just remember, there is no such thing as perfection, and second best can be better in the long-term. He might be challenging some of your ideas, but you know how to bring him around.

SCORPIO
You seem to be at cross purposes with your man which could bring on a nasty headache. Is it all to do with romance versus friendship? Balance is needed, so wear turquoise today. This colour will help you make the right choices.

SAGITTARIUS
Your career needs to be balanced with family needs while leaving you with enough time to relax and have some fun. Be creative – think laterally, and don’t limit yourself. Love-wise, he doesn’t seem as hot as you.

CAPRICORN
Feeling a bit overwhelmed about something? Is a problem keeping you awake? Don’t bottle it up – talk! Your family are supportive, and could come up with some interesting, even radical, solutions. In love, who is the dominant one?

AQUARIUS
If there are arguments over money, it's vital that you meet half-way otherwise resentments could start to build, and that could mean the end. A delay or alteration in your travel arrangements could be both annoying and costly. Love is dazzling.

Your thinking powers are very sharp today, and you easily make decisions. You don’t want wilfulness to upset your man as he still thinks you are prefect. Wear violet or amethysts, light green or aquamarines.

ARIES
Look at work and health issues, and aim for balance between doing too much - which makes you tired - or not enough which brings even more stress. The important thing is to talk about your feelings to colleagues, and especially to your man. Love is kinky.

TAURUS
Do you really resent being told what to do? If so, why? Listen to your intuition. You seem to be a bit self-centred at the moment. Even so, everyone seems impressed with what you are doing. You need warm, tender love that brings you to ecstasy.

GEMINI
What could be better? Your friends are rallying round, and you are able to get exactly what you want in matters to do with your home and family and in your career. Is your love life as much fun as you'd like?

CANCER
Discussing your career prospects goes really well today as whatever you decide seems to happen. Just be sure about what you ask for. A business trip or foreign element looks very promising. Worrying financial issues could slow your libido.

LEO
You need to find a broader perspective if you are to achieve everything you want, whether it’s a hot love affair, a stimulating career or overseas travel. The important thing is to investigate all your options before making a decision.

VIRGO
It is all about you today. You're emotionally fragile, and may not be in the mood for wild sex, preferring a bit of affection. Tell him! Someone could surprise you by repaying a debt. This is also a good day too for obtaining a loan or mortgage.

LIBRA
Is he too sexy and macho for you? Would you like more romance? This could be the cause of your confusion – you need a man who nourishes rather than takes from you. Work prospects look good.

SCORPIO
If you think you and your man are just a bit better than everyone else, you could be in for a let-down as friends get fed up with you. Aim to be your lovely natural self. You are more than capable of finishing whatever has to be done, so don’t panic.

SAGITTARIUS
This is a good time to discuss your future with your partner, and sort out issues regarding your home and your family. The aspects are all in your favour when it comes to romance, so go for whatever you want. Don’t ignore your career ladder.

CAPRICORN
Is love zinging or fading away? This might not be the most exciting time, so wait a few days before making any decisions. Further studies will help keep your career on track and bring corporate success.

AQUARIUS
Listen to everything, even idle gossip, as you could pick up an unusual idea or two to help your career. Meetings, especially to do with finance, are highly successful today especially if kept in your neighbourhood. In love, is he being a little selfish?

AQUARIUS

ARIES
You have no time for ditherers – you want to be loved at first sight. And he’d better be good in bed, too. The romance is there, but is the ecstasy? Only you can tell. The truth is you need your independence at the moment.

TAURUS

Talk about things you’ve hidden from others and even from yourself – you’ll be surprised at how liberated it makes you feel. Are you glowing with good health? Take time out to socialize with your man. Love is carnal.

TAURUS
Do you really know what makes you happy? You may be surprised at just how dramatically your ideas have changed. There is an unusual friendship waiting for you, and you'll form an intense bond.

GEMINI
Changes are happening – do you want more independence, or to take your life in a whole new direction? This is a good day to discuss matters with those who care. If your man is strong and sensitive he’ll listen.

CANCER
Your thinking is becoming more radical, and you could easily decide to give up your job and take advanced training or go on a radical business trip. You could take a job in advertising or media. Love feels safe rather than passionate today.

LEO
Expect the unexpected: if you thought you’d lose, you’ll probably gain. Equally, expected gains might not turn out so well. Life feels stimulating, but unstable – ride it out. Love could fail if you’re too ambitious. You must decide.

VIRGO
Your love life is all about mutual admiration – and very sexy, too. There could be an unexpected change in your finances where co-operation is imperative. It is important that you take legal advice where necessary.

LIBRA
This is a good time to negotiate favourable conditions at work so that you have more independence. Contracts should be in your favour as long as you do your homework and take advice from experts. Love will be erotic if you stay in charge.

SCORPIO
Telling your partner that you want more freedom (or having him tell you) could cause headaches. But this could jolt him into lavishing you with extra attention and bringing more romance into your life.

SAGITTARIUS
Have you suddenly decided to make your home more beautiful? Always discuss your plans with experts. Don't be scared to rip out old units – change is good. A family member might decide to move away. Don't be sad, you still have Skype and email.

CAPRICORN
The actions of others will have an impact on your home life. Rather than get upset, discuss things as calmly as possible and don’t overreact. You think more independently, but you do need his input too. Love should be luxurious.

AQUARIUS
Your financial ideas could change when you talk to the experts, so be ready for a change of thinking. You are in a strong financial period, so it’s important you get the right investment advice. Who, in your love life, is playing mind games?

ARIES
As Mercury moves into your own sign you have flashes of intuition that cause you to express some unusual ideas to your colleagues. These may be a little too radical for some people. You’ll have to be outspoken about your needs if you want him to fulfil them.

TAURUS
Think about past good times and bad times and the lessons to be learnt from them – then, move forward into an exciting future. Don't hang on to an old relationship; instead, take control. You’ll hear some news or gossip, but keep it to yourself.

SCORPIO
As Mercury moves into Aries, you're worried about your health or the health of one of your pets. Work-wise, you could be offered a new job. Ensure your computer is in good condition. Is sex becoming an addiction?

SAGITTARIUS
You would love to take time out with your man to go climbing, have an adventure or just go somewhere new for dinner. But, he might prefer to spend the evening in with you. It might be time to compromise.

CAPRICORN
It's time to address your home and family concerns, particularly the logistics of moving home and renovating. It's a good time to install a home computer and electronic equipment. Love is a little bit boring.

AQUARIUS
You're brimming with energy, and you want to be at the hub of where it's all happening. Business projects, meetings, neighbourhood activities as well as your siblings all need your attention. Keep your keys and documents safe. Love needs more passion.

You feel steady and stable when you're learning and acquiring new knowledge, and you love teaching and passing on the information. Listen to your intuition as it will tell you how responsive others will be. Get him to pamper you tonight.

ARIES
If your man doesn’t read your signals, don’t over-react – instead, try to keep calm and explain exactly what it is you want. If you don't, he’ll take umbrage and leave. Your hard work makes your finances stronger than ever.

TAURUS
You want your love life to be comforting as well as lavish as it spills into your everyday life. When love is lacking, you feel stressed and this can spill over into your work life too. Complete one task before moving on to another.

GEMINI
When a colleague tells you some juicy gossip, keep it to yourself. You need to keep on good terms with everyone especially if you feel that something is keeping you back from achieving your career goals. Are you too sexy for him?

CANCER
Love is all about trust, and if you can’t trust him, then who can you trust? Do you want to travel, but feel that your family is holding you back and telling you the time is not right? Think carefully about all the issues, then make up your own mind.

LEO
Stubbornness is a problem today as a battle between you and your man means one of you has to give in. Luckily, it will end in really hot sex. Money matters will have to be sorted, but with patience rather than anger.

VIRGO
Ecstasy will be experienced if you work together, but if you push for only what you want it will end in anger and rows. Money issues could be all time-consuming and very frustrating – talk them through with experts if necessary.

LIBRA
Huge passion and sensual love-making – excessive, to say the least! At work, you are very clear about what you want but despite this, you find obstacles standing in the way of success. Slow down – is this the right time?

SCORPIO
Life is all about love, romance and addictive sex – though for many of you it will remain a fantasy rather than reality. And why not? Use your creative talents at work. Over-indulgence at the moment is a total no-no.

SAGITTARIUS
You both need a lot of attention, love and support today so why not give it to each other? There could be tension if you want to be out with friends and he wants to stay at home. A good compromise is to discuss things rather than blowing your top.

CAPRICORN
Use diplomacy and compromise rather than losing your cool or it could all end in total disaster, especially if you’ve been trying to put restrictions on him. At work, stay on track – your finances are improving.

AQUARIUS
Finances are going well, and you can spend on your home and family (within reason). However, there still doesn’t seem to be enough for you to travel or take that study course you want. Discuss it with your man – he’ll understand.

Despite all your feelings of optimism, there is just a hint of uncertainty. Get it out of your mind! Remember, the more you give, the more you receive back, financially and in your love life.

ARIES
Being lady-like isn’t on your agenda today; instead, it's all about raunchy ardour and eroticism. Lucky him! A disagreement with a colleague could cause frustration – it might be best to keep quiet.

TAURUS
A member of your family or a close friend needs your help today – you're prepared to give your time and your money generously, but it is your warmth and love that are really needed. At work, don’t let a delay give you a headache. Be patient, no matter how hard it is.

GEMINI
Being genuinely warm and loving towards your friends and colleagues will soften the blow of the lack of romance in your love life as well as your creative efforts not being appreciated. Don’t let these minor setbacks mar your self-confidence.

VIRGO
Your love life is more intense and passionate than usual, even a bit down-and-dirty - as long as he is as fit and strong as you. You are making financial progress at work, but forget extravagance for the moment.

LIBRA
Being alone is not on your agenda, and you need your favourite man, friends and colleagues around – anyone and everyone who interests and stimulates you, and especially a man who is undemanding. Health-wise, you're feeling delicate.

SCORPIO
Your love life looks very promising with new romantic partners waiting. At work, though, you could be heading for burn-out if you don’t take a break. Medical advice from your doctor or health professional will help.

SAGITTARIUS
Everything you do will be successful if you put your heart and soul into it – despite Saturn suggesting that your friends and business associates aren’t as helpful as they could be. Luckily, your family is there for you. Love culminates in a sexual workout.

AQUARIUS
Dipping in to erotic, experimental love-making is very tempting today but there are other uses for your artistic ideas. Neighbourhood community activities needs people like you – don’t just talk, act.

TAURUS
Friends, groups and organizations are still your main interest. Use all the contacts you have to help your business. Your career is good, but associates can boost it even further. Friends provide the fun and social events, and love is playful.

CANCER
You are still in one of the strongest periods of the month in terms of your career, your finances and love. If necessary, go for further training now so that you’ll be ready for your career to reach its peak. Give as well as take. Love is more than a little intense.

LEO
Your life should be stable and positive today as you and your man work together, making good money and advancing your career. Love-wise, singles will meet someone through social events. Do you need space away from your lover?

VIRGO
Your love-life and your career are the focus today. You can talk anyone into doing anything, but watch out – he is also in persuasive mode. Try not to talk too much. Socially, it’s a very active and fun time, so enjoy it.

SCORPIO
The focus is on your friends and having fun. Your creative genius keeps your career on track, and the more you enjoy your work, the more money you make. Love-wise, you realise your dreams.

CAPRICORN
Love-wise, a very special day as you are on the same wave-length as your man who is understanding, loyal and creative. At work there could be too much information to get through in one day. Tackle it tomorrow instead.

AQUARIUS
Your finances should be picking up very well. Listen to colleagues, friends and advisors to find out where and how to invest. Love-making could be ecstatic, but a little too hectic – can you keep up this pace? Try to relax.

The New Moon in Pisces is adding to your emotional, compassionate and confident, if dramatic, self. Your health is good, and you take the lead in everything you do. You don’t need your lover to tell you how fantastic you look – you just know it.

ARIES
Are you spending more time involved with charities, perhaps visiting someone in hospital or another institution? If so, you are learning the meaning of giving selfless love, and your libido revels in your man’s protective support.

TAURUS
Playful lovemaking turns to passion – but is there any emotional balance? The New Moon insists you socialize with friends, but your personal planet may find this a bit uncomfortable today. Follow your heart.

GEMINI
Despite your career and finances doing well, you still feel slightly stressed out. Even for you there could be too many phone calls and emails. So much to do, so little time – try to relax.

CANCER
You feel your present relationship could be the big thing – but is it just the New Moon in Pisces encouraging an almost spiritual out-of-this-world experience? When you get through the lows, as well, you can start talking about the long-term.

LEO
When you and your man work together you make financial magic and succeed at everything you do, but this closeness could exhaust the 'love side' of the relationship. When it’s good, it is extremely erotic.

VIRGO
The New Moon is inspiring you to do what’s necessary to keep your relationships and partnerships happy and fulfilled, but you are bored by routine. Use your creativity to find new excitement. Complacency is a no-no.

LIBRA
You are very decisive at work today, ready to take the lead and tell everyone what to do. This could upset your colleagues so use all your diplomatic skills when trying to get your own way. Let your senses take over in your love life.

SCORPIO
One of those really good days, so use all your creative talents to take your career further – which, in turn, will help your finances. Your love life is looking great, but are you telling him the whole story?

SAGITTARIUS
Your family and matters to do with your home might be putting a dampener on your love life, but it is vital you put them first at the moment even if you don’t make much headway when talking. Take time off to be alone with your man.

CAPRICORN
Today is one of those really busy days where you accomplish everything you set out to do. You've been feeling a little swamped, but just ignore what you don’t need – no need to get angry! Give your man the respect he deserves to really turn him on.

AQUARIUS
A very good day financially, inspired to some extent by your favourite man. Perhaps you can inspire him later? In the meantime, use the Martian energy to work through your priorities, sorting out accounts and making payments.

Over the next few days you need time to be alone and re-charge your batteries by nurturing and pampering yourself. Soft music, candlelight, and some gentle massage will work wonders for your love life. At work, understanding and compassion will help.

ARIES
It is all about secrets today – events you’d rather no one knows about, information at work that you have to keep to yourself, and things your friends have told you in confidence. It's time for you to show your softer side, and focus on love rather than just sex.

TAURUS
You need a man who will boost your reputation instead of bringing you down; someone who will help lighten your mood, and with whom you can have some fun. Be honest with your friends, and listen to what they have to say – they could help you improve your finances.

GEMINI
Career-wise, you're on a high. It's the best month this year, and you should soon see your goals and visions coming to fruition. Achieve now, and then shift the goal posts. In love, you need your man to support your ambitions as well as satisfying your libido.

CANCER
Once you dry your tears and get your emotions under control, this will be a very fulfilling and healing day as you broaden your mind and your perspective, and realise just how capable you are. Love is an escape.

LEO
Your love life has an emotional intensity about it today, and mere love-making is not enough; you need unrestrained passion as well as more than a dash of romance. You expect your colleagues to be totally loyal, but remember - everyone has their own agenda.

VIRGO
Love and co-operation are the key words today in all your relationships whether it's with colleagues at work, friends or towards your favourite man. Don’t be too complacent – try something a bit different and unexpected.

LIBRA
The focus is on your health, especially with the New Moon, so don’t be surprised if you are feeling a bit low. Just makes sure you get enough sleep, eat healthy, fresh food and exercise. In love, do you have the energy?

SCORPIO
The emphasis is on romantic love for those of you in a relationship. For the rest of you, socializing with family and close friends brings contentment as your creative juices flow, bringing great results at work.

SAGITTARIUS
Uranus is still making your home life a bit unpredictable - use your intuition to tell you when to react and when to keep quiet, even if it means counting to ten first. He might need you to take the lead.

CAPRICORN
So much to do, so much to say – will you ever get off the phone or computer? Business meetings, neighbourhood issues or siblings are vying for your attention. Try to avoid burn-out in all these areas. You need your man to keep you buoyant.

AQUARIUS
Your finances should be on the up at the moment with new, unexpected opportunities coming your way, but you have to make the first move. Meantime, make sure you pay your bills and collect the money you owe. Your love life is inspired.

You could abandon yourself to the unknown tomorrow as your love life will be exciting, a bit unconventional and probably top-secret. You could lose perspective over your finances, so don’t spend more than you can afford.

ARIES
Too much self indulgence today could lead to consequences you’ll regret as your personal influence wanes. Luckily your friends will remain supportive as long as you are helpful and co-operative. When it comes to love, you need raunchy sex.

TAURUS
Clear your mind of expectations – just go with the flow, and be ready to enjoy whatever happens. The more interested and interesting you are, the more your creative work will be recognised. Promotion or a pay raise are a possibility.

GEMINI
There could be something or someone that's making your love life a bit difficult – be as tolerant and patient as you can be, whilst keeping your self-confidence up. Venus suggests that co-operation is the key, and an unconventional foreign influence helps.

CANCER
You can easily sort out any differences now. Talk about your concerns about your social status, a business or love partnership, joint accounts and who pays for what. Just be careful of false promises. Love is very intense.

LEO
Avoid social climbing, name dropping or exaggerating your personal status – just be your usual, shining-star self. Venus moves into your house of relationships, putting the emphasis on your partner. Marriage and long-term commitment are a possibility now.

VIRGO
This is a good time to cement working relationships with colleagues and also to make your work space as pleasant as possible. An office romance is a possibility for some of you. Your lover has a few surprises…

LIBRA
Fallen in love again? Even if it's just an illicit little fling, love-making will be unforgettable. You still need your freedom, though, and there is lots of work to be done. As usual you need balance - especially at home.

SCORPIO
There is a certain amount of stress at work, so try not to over-react and lose your temper. Count to ten before replying, and remember, you can’t always have your own way. Being creative is one thing, but you need to be practical too. Show your man how caring you are.

SAGITTARIUS
It is time to use all your charm, whether it's with colleagues, neighbours, your man or your siblings. You don’t have to go far to socialize – get involved in local community affairs. Love is all about choice.

CAPRICORN
There could be an argument with your man over money and the things you value and cherish. Don’t be bullied – unless, of course, you are depleting his bank account. Do you feel you are losing your independence? You need to talk to him.

AQUARIUS
You are at your best today as friends are supportive and your income looks like it might be on the increase. You are going all out for perfection in everything you do, from your career to love making. Do you have the time?

Your love life is complicated - you are extremely emotional, but at the same time you're trying to intellectualise your feelings. Going with the flow will be far more enjoyable, and help keep the passion alive. Try not to get irritated when your work is interrupted.

ARIES
Attend spiritual meetings today or just talk to friends on matters over and above the mundane. Love-wise, there are no limits, except for your own. You must say no if matters go further than you're comfortable with.

TAURUS
You expect your man to listen to your serious monologues for hours, and then still have the stamina to satisfy your fantasies. Give him a break from his job as your sounding-board. Your career takes a step upwards.

GEMINI
You seem sexually, intellectually and emotionally well-matched today, and ready to explore each other’s fantasies. At work you seem a bit restless, and feel as if you need more
knowledge to rise up the corporate ladder. Go for it.

CANCER
The intensity is all a bit much today – he doesn’t seem to want to commit, while you need intimacy. There is also the question of money creeping in to the equation. This could be a problem if you disagree.

LEO
The Aquarian Moon can take your sex life to a whole new level of eroticism – if that is what you want. You can be quite prissy at times. This is still time to transform your life to the way you'd like it to be – don’t hold back.

VIRGO
Are you the forbidden fruit he finds so tempting? You're in the mood for fun and to experiment with various forms of role-play. But, how far are you prepared to go? It's a financially satisfying day, and you can see the end results.

LIBRA
One of those good days – love-wise, you are on the same romantic wave-length. Your creative juices bring great results at work and are appreciated by colleagues at work. You can easily sort out and smooth over any disagreements.

SCORPIO
Why are you feeling stressed? Your home life should be calming, and you feel more caring than usual towards your man. At work, your creative juices flow. A few obstacles slow your career, but why not turn them into challenges?

SAGITTARIUS
The time is right to discuss your décor ideas with your man, your family and with experts if you want the right look. Don’t try pleasing everyone, though – you’ll just end up a mess. Love is more about lust.

CAPRICORN
A great day career-wise which, in turn, helps your bank balance – and (be honest) makes you feel superior to your man. This might not go down so well. Achieving balance is all about communication, so pretend if necessary!

AQUARIUS
One of those really good days, especially money-wise. Your love life is also doing great, but if you’ve been really busy you might need something to get you in the mood. Think about your fantasies and how you can turn them into reality.

You're totally clear about your purpose in life, but frustrated because you seem to have achieved everything you want. Maybe the time just isn’t right. Relax, and don’t push too hard – it will happen sooner rather than later. Don’t let judgmental attitudes mar your sex life.

ARIES
There is plenty of rapturous sex, but is there real love there? If you keep overreacting, there certainly won’t be. There seems to be a lack of direction where you're not sure what you're doing. When in doubt, don’t do anything - wait until the mist clears.

TAURUS
You need your man to share your values and your spiritual beliefs as you inspire each other with vision and hope. You see yourself travelling, visiting friends and groups abroad – but is this reality or just a dream? Someone from abroad may come in to your life.

GEMINI
For some of you there could be an ending, whether it's a friendship or a love affair. For others, you could find your partner is very responsive to your sexual needs and preferences. At work, a matter to do with finance needs your input.

CANCER
You may be ready to move off abroad for a while, but a love affair is strengthening into something deep, committed and worthwhile. What a quandary! You need to work out if he is your soul-mate, and whether this is the real deal or just another affair.

LEO
Huge undercurrents of emotion are churning around, even as you try your hardest to focus on work today. Stress could damage your health, especially if you are bottling things up. Make the effort to understand and then talk about it.

VIRGO
You get over the stresses and strains of daily life through your hobbies, love and romance. The more creative you are at the moment, the happier you’ll be. You need friends and social events, but prefer it when your man shares your life.

LIBRA
It's time to really look after your health – make appointments with your dentist, visit your doctor for a check up and sort out diet and exercise regimes. For you, the better you look, the happier and more productive you become. A family matter needs your advice.

SCORPIO
You feel the need to be the focus of attention which this is quite unusual for Scorpio so make sure you look and dress the part. At work and when speaking to others, have all the facts and figures at your fingertips. Even in bed, it's all about you, so he’d better perform.

SAGITTARIUS
You have a strong urge to own your own home or at least to live in your own place, away from family, so that you can really develop your individuality and be in charge where you need to be. Still, you're sentimental and need familial support.

CAPRICORN
There is depth to your sex appeal, and you need your man to help you free yourself from inhibitions. Perhaps, for once, you should let him set the pace. Career-wise, you seem to be going through a frustrating time today. This is nothing to worry about, it will all be better tomorrow!

AQUARIUS
Even if your mother is not around, you seem to have a strong connection to her today. Use her innate wisdom, especially when it comes to money and values. Don’t do anything to compromise yourself – you’ll only regret it. In love, don’t talk – act!

Friends provide the healing you need today because you are able to trust and share with them, and totally relax. Just watch you don’t become too opinionated over money issues – you never know everything, so sit still, listen and learn. Love is creative.

ARIES
You don’t seem clear about what you want out of your love life. This is a good time to talk to your man, share your feelings and discuss the issues that stop you from feeling satisfied. All is going well career-wise – be happy to go with the flow and participate in everything.

TAURUS
A fantastic day for networking and being in contact with business associates, and you seem to be able to predict the outcome. Foreign countries still call, whether it's for a holiday or work. Think carefully. Love-wise, you need a luxurious life-style – does he provide this?

GEMINI
More soulful and dreamy than usual today? Perhaps you are just adapting your pace to that of your man and your work-mates. It won’t hurt you to slow down a bit and consider the latest trends, especially career-wise. Help others develop their self-worth.

CANCER
Are you overly sensitive to the needs of your partner today, or perhaps looking for someone to mother you and give you security? Think about it. Love relationships are partnerships – you have to give as well as take. This is a good time to learn new skills to take your career up a notch.

LEO
At work you are giving it your all, and are able to rise to any challenge. Love, however, is a different matter, and you want an intense, deep connection, to transcend your usual limitations, and to form a union that can’t be broken. It's all about real intimacy.

VIRGO
You find your own power at the moment through your relationships – especially one where true love, romance and passion merge. Today, though, is all about fun, laughter and romance – stay conscious of what you need and not just being what he wants.

LIBRA
This month is all about your work, being organized and getting everything done and dusted. Today look at your home life, your daily routine, how you value yourself and the importance of caring for your body. Does your man share these values?

SCORPIO
No matter how creative you are, at the moment you feel you could do better. At the moment, too, you feel that love affairs and romance really heighten your participation in life and make you feel special. Don’t do anything you’ll regret later.

SAGITTARIUS
This month is a struggle to find yourself and distinguish your personal identity and values from that of your family. You are quite happy to be social and pleasant, but you need the emotional security of your own earnings. Love is slick and classy.

CAPRICORN
The better you communicate, the more self-worth you feel, and at the moment you have some valuable things to say. Discussions with siblings could prove worthwhile for both of you, and you’ll know just what to say. You want your love partner to be your mirror image, and sex is great.

AQUARIUS
It's time to access the inner store-house of wisdom you usually keep hidden from everyone else, as your insights are really needed now, especially over money matters. Possessions and money will enhance your feelings of power. Love-wise, you need an equally enterprising man in your life.

TAURUS
There is both joy and pain in everything you do today. Holidays and travelling with friends makes you feel nurtured, but plans may have to be changed. Working with your church or charity provides solace, but beware of gurus. In love, you want the best.

GEMINI
Do the means justify the end? Make sure everything you do does, actually, help others and not just yourself. Your mind is sharp today – use it to sort out differences of opinion between you, your partner and anyone else involved. Love might be on the cards.

CANCER
You might find it hard to achieve both at work and in your personal relationships. Do you lack the confidence, or is someone or something standing in your way? This isn’t a good time for arguments or legal battles - co-operation will get you further. Love is best with a sexy soul-mate.

LEO
You might intuitively ‘know’ what is going on, but you still have to be practical and down-to- earth – especially when it comes to money, debts, and joint finance. Make sure everything is in order and structured. This might seem cold and calculating, but it is necessary. Love is ambitious.

VIRGO
Emotional intensity is vying with your need for creative expression, especially in the way you make money. When you lighten up, you'll find joy and achieve everything you want. Try to be understanding with your man – compassion is needed, especially if sex is mundane.

LIBRA
If your home life is intense, your love life could suffer. There seems to be a lot to get through, and you don’t seem to be as fit as usual. Ensure your life is balanced between work, having fun, enough sleep and a good diet to ensure that you don’t lose your self-assurance.

SCORPIO
If you're too intense at work, you could alienate your colleagues and make achieving your aims difficult. Overwork will damage your health, so make sure you have enough fun and social activities. Let yourself go in a creative way – it will help your love life too.

SAGITTARIUS

AQUARIUS
Laughter is the key to a happy, ardent and enterprising sex life. Today, you could have difficulty in making decisions, especially about your finances. Talk to the experts and write down the information so there is no misunderstanding. It's not a good day solve an old issue with a sibling.

25 February 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/25-february-2011 PISCES
Although tensions rise as you try to achieve everything you set out to do, you have the mental and physical strength to cope. Try to be patient with colleagues, business associates and friends if they get irritable when you change your mind. In love you need to use your intuition.

ARIES
Rules? What rules? You make up your own today, which is fine in the bedroom but perhaps not so good at work or when dealing with officials. This is a good day to take off somewhere for the weekend, have an adventure and be daring. With the right man, you achieve phenomenal success.

TAURUS
Being obsessive about your man could work against you. Instead, lighten up and let both your libidos be satisfied. Watch out for sexual undercurrents which could affect a friendship – your emotions are highly charged and you could say something you regret later.

GEMINI
Is your man complaining that you work too hard and that he never sees you? You’ll have to decide what your priorities are. You have huge mental strength today, so don’t be nervous to say what you want.

CANCER
Watch your health today, especially when travelling – and make sure you have the appropriate medicines with you. Whilst you don’t seem emotionally fulfilled today, does it really matter as long as your huge sexual appetite is satisfied?

LEO
You like to be seen as bright, positive, creative and special – but today a darker, more intense side to your personality could surface. You can probably change this mood by indulging in some mutually pampering and passionate sex.

VIRGO
There could be a disagreement in your home today, especially with your man – don’t over-react. Take a deep breath and count to ten before you speak. Then, express your feelings with warmth and love. Are you ready to compromise?

LIBRA
Your mind is working overtime as you gather as much information as you can about a work project. It could all be very tiring. Avoid accidents – you don’t need physical immobility at this time. Be as sophisticated as you feel.

SCORPIO
Is your need for financial security affecting your sexual desires? Or, conversely, are you neglecting your finances in order to have more fun? One or two days won’t hurt, but then balance will be needed. Anyway, his luck will rub off on you.

SAGITTARIUS
Feelings of insecurity today might dampen your enthusiasm, stopping you from climbing that mountain or running that extra kilometre. Luckily, it should only be temporary, and you’ll be back to your usual adventurous self tomorrow. Vigorous love will revitalize.

CAPRICORN
You might hide what you really feel beneath light-hearted banter or, on the other hand, your intuition might pick up on what others mean but don’t say. Do you believe what you hear, or what you sense and feel? Tomorrow will be easier.

AQUARIUS
There is a contradiction between savings, financial security and your wish to give everything away to your favourite charity. On the other hand, you might coerce your friends into helping you achieve your goals. You are in very self-indulgent sexual mode.

24 February 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/24-february-2011 PISCES
With the Moon moving into Sagittarius you are in the mood for adventure, so plan a trip somewhere on Saturday. You probably want more independence at work and to do something which will be publicly acclaimed. Love should be relaxed and fun.

ARIES
Today is all about competition whether it's with your partner, in sport or at work and this stimulates you to achieve. In love you need fun; if it's too predictable you get bored and ready to move on. When it is good, it is very good - if a bit too open-minded at times.

TAURUS
Your mood is intensely passionate today, and this affects everything you do, whether it's being competitive at work, at gym or your love life. Avoid arguments over money. You can’t express yourself calmly, so it's better to wait a couple of days.

GEMINI
Anything goes in your love life today, and experimentation is the mode of choice. Just be careful as there are limits. Career-wise, a business trip could be very beneficial, while learning new skills will take your career up a notch.

CANCER
You welcome your man lightening your mood, and this breathes new life into you and helps you forget your overpowering emotions. Eroticism rules in the bedroom, but you need outdoor activity too. Exercise such as walking or running helps to clear your mind.

LEO
You seem to be in warm, nurturing mode, but you still need your own space and to be free to do your own thing whenever you want. Mostly, though, you need your man to give you the glamorous, extravagant life you feel you deserve.

VIRGO
You are quite ready to give up your life and your freedom to help your man achieve success. Even so, he might not be as reliable and deserving as you’d hoped. Think carefully before you make a commitment. Exercise will be very beneficial, especially outdoors.

LIBRA
You are in delving mode, and you want to know everything that's going on. At work, don’t let an argument with a sibling or neighbour affect relationships with colleagues. Does it really matter if someone does things differently to you? Let your man bring fun into your life – you need to loosen up and enjoy.

SCORPIO
You would just love to be on a desert island with your man – one where there is no interference from anyone, just you, him and a large bed from where you can watch the stars shining down. In the real world, money, values and spending intrude.

SAGITTARIUS
Satisfying your need for truth might upset your relationship. In that case, your overriding need for freedom and personal space might see you heading out on your own. If the relationship is working, you have it all. A plan could be delayed – don’t fret, just relax.

CAPRICORN
You have a great need to impress everyone today, and to be seen as glamorous, affluent and influential. Your family might not be so impressed. At home, too, there could be delays and frustration because renovations aren’t finished on time. Love takes your mind off your troubles.

AQUARIUS
Lustful sex is what you need today, so let’s hope your latest man can provide everything you need. Try not to be too cool when talking to your friends, business colleagues and associates. Show your enthusiasm – it could help your finances in the end.

23 February 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/23-february-2011 PISCES
An interesting few months is forecast as Mars moves into your own house making you far more independent and able to express yourself assertively. It's time to serve yourself first – this will help everyone else in the long-run. You are also able to help him up the ladder of success.

ARIES
Mars moving into Pisces puts the emphasis on past actions and things you don’t want anyone to know about. Secrets, small and large will have to be faced. You don’t have to tell anyone if you'd rather keep them to yourself. Love is hot, heavy and addictive.

TAURUS
With so many planets in Pisces, be careful you don’t overload your schedule at the moment otherwise you won’t achieve anything at all. Think about what makes you happy. If you're in a new relationship, let togetherness grow slowly.

GEMINI
Mars joining the Sun, Mercury and other planets in Pisces suggests that this is the time to promote yourself or your favourite charity or cause. All the attention is on you. Your love life seems calmer and more serene than usual. Perhaps because you are too busy to worry about it?

CANCER
Mars is filling you with energy, and you have so many projects on the go you don't know where to focus. Use all these experiences to broaden your spiritual and intellectual horizons. Your enthusiasm spills over into your love life which is both intimate and invigorating.

LEO
Finance might be demanding more of your attention than usual, but you know exactly what is happening and what has to be done. The thing to remember is communication. Love is your way of coping with stress.

VIRGO
Partnerships are the issue today whether they're to do with love, business, friendship and your daily interactions. You find it hard to be alone as everyone drops in, interrupts and intrudes on your privacy. Just get on with it, and show him exactly what you want.

LIBRA
You can achieve everything now. Your enthusiasm is spilling over into all areas of your work and you just won’t accept failure. If you work too hard, though, you could find your health deteriorating so make sure you get enough sleep, fresh fruit and veggies.

SCORPIO
Is there enough love and romance in your life? Now is the time to go after everyone and everything you like with vitality and enthusiasm from good food, wine to visiting friends and indulging in a new romance (or spicing up your present one). Mars won’t let you sit still.

SAGITTARIUS
Your life is all about your family, your home and your personal possessions. A new business venture (from home) could start now, and décor and renovation projects will be successful. If you want to purchase or rent a property, now is the time to look. You're being a bit of an exhibitionist.

CAPRICORN
You can either use the Martian energy for achieving everything you want for yourself, or you can extend the charity to your siblings and even your neighbourhood. Rash actions today could lead to accidents on the road, burns or cuts from kitchen knives – be careful.

AQUARIUS
If you are short of cash, maybe it's because you’ve spent too much recently? Have you considered taking a second job or working overtime? There are many opportunities when working from home as you are a lateral thinker. In love, nothing too puritanical for you.

22 February 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/22-february-2011 PISCES
As the Moon moves into Scorpio, everything you do and think becomes intense and emotionally charged. Cheer yourself up by planning new adventures whether it's meeting new people, travelling abroad or embarking on further studies. Don’t limit yourself.

ARIES
Love-wise, you feel like you are first prize today and, sexier than usual, you are in serious 'lust mode'. If your man doesn’t do what you want, your emotions could go totally over-the- top. You know what makes you happy, and you won’t settle for anything less.

TAURUS
As your public image becomes more glamorous, remember to watch your reputation, and don’t do anything that could cause this to be compromised. Choose your friends and lovers carefully, show how honest and reliable you are, and don’t let your emotions get out-of-hand.

GEMINI
You’d prefer to spend time alone with your man instead of sharing him with everyone else, but don’t let jealousy mar the relationship. Your wildest fantasies could be satisfied now as, work-wise, a foreigner could play an important role. An overseas business trip looks promising for some of you.

CANCER
You are in the mood for romance with loads of added passion and intimate sex, but Neptune is adding confusion to the mix. Use your intuition to examine both his and your real motives. Mars is insisting upon honesty and decisiveness.

LEO
A partnership seems to be going through a risky time, fraught with misunderstandings and confusion, whether in a business or a love relationship. You are ready to take the risks, but remember the long-term. If there are too many problems, you’ll simply lose interest.

VIRGO
Love is complicated because you want to be in control. Avoid criticism – you know how sensitive men are about their sexual prowess. Slimming for health is one thing, but be careful of a bogus health or diet programme. You might want to take the risk, but it is your body that could suffer.

LIBRA
On one hand you are very busy earning the money, and you need to keep your lifestyle but on the other, you want more fun and romance in your life. Neptune might be blinding you to your man’s imperfections, or do you over-look them just to keep him with you? Will this be worth it in the long-term?

SCORPIO
You could be a bit head-strong today. Listen to Mars and Neptune regarding property as everything is not as it seems. Watch out for gas leaks and other problems: just because a house looks wonderful doesn’t mean there aren’t cracks, and the same goes for relationships.

SAGITTARIUS
Common sense is the issue today, so be practical and use careful judgment in everything you do otherwise you’ll be left with mistakes that could take a long time to repair. Neighbours and siblings need help, but you need to be compassionate. Love-wise, erotic sex will take your mind off your troubles.

CAPRICORN
Get involved in groups, meetings and associations – but remember, you’ll need unwavering principles as someone could be out to compromise your values and damage your reputation. Avoid people or situations that could cause problems for you. Love is mutually fascinating.

AQUARIUS
Career-wise, you may be feeling very sorry for yourself, and suffering from low self- esteem which is all due to your over-active imagination. Use your intuition and instincts – they will guide and inspire you. Sex-wise, you want to be in raptures.

21 February 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/21-february-2011 PISCES
Mercury moves in to your own sign today, and you're inspired to use your imagination. Your intuition is so strong that you seem to know what everyone is thinking – scary! But you’ll have to remember what is real and what is just fantasy. Love should be sensitive and spiritual.

ARIES
Mercury joins the Sun in Pisces today, and someone you haven’t seen for a while could return to your life or you could receive some private information which you have to keep secret. Learn from the past, but don’t hold on to disappointments or hurts. Comfortable sex becomes a bit boring.

TAURUS
Now that Mercury has moved into Pisces, it will be a good time for meetings and group discussions, and you can be as clear as you would like when putting your views across. Write down your thoughts. It is your femininity that inspires your lover.

GEMINI
Your active mind takes on a new spiritual dimension as your personal planet moves into Pisces. Your career prospects look better than usual, so investigate every opportunity and make sure your CV is sharp and up-to-date. Love is not as interesting as the prospect of success.

CANCER
Mercury moving into Pisces sharpens your intellect and broadens your mind to new possibilities here and abroad. Possibilities abound, from learning a new language to travelling to interesting countries. Your love life is stimulated by beauty today.

LEO
Today is a good one to sort out your finances and ask for a loan or mortgage - just gather all the necessary information first. Your mind is sharp, but you still rely on your intuition to tell you when to act. It's no use playing hard to get – the answer is either yes or no.

VIRGO
Legal matters, negotiations and contracts all seem to go in your favour which, in turn, helps your finances as you won’t have to compromise your values. Your love life is very satisfying – as long as you don’t expect perfection. Is he passionate enough for you?

LIBRA
Sexually there should be eroticism, but is there enough emotional content to take the relationship to a deeper level? At work your organizational skills are sharp as you plan for the future. Health-wise, this is a good time for your annual medical check.

SCORPIO
Are you just a tiny bit jealous of his last girlfriend? Don’t want her name mentioned? Well then, don’t ask! Just bask in the romance of the moment. The aspects look good for your career which has become very creative and interesting. You also have the ability to be decisive.

SAGITTARIUS
Mercury’s move into Pisces means you will have to make some decisions about your home and family. Be pro-active, and do what has to be done no matter how hard, unpleasant or time -consuming. You need to be honest, yet diplomatic. Love is profound.

CAPRICORN
You will be more physically active now that Mercury has moved into Pisces, and business projects, teaching or learning new skills, buying a new computer or gathering information are all possible now. Your siblings will need your advice. Love takes you higher.

AQUARIUS
Much of your time will be taken up by your finances now, and it's a good time to investigate new investments and ways of making more money. You might take on another job to help boost your bank balance. Can your mental affinity turn into emotional love, and will he continue to turn you on?

20 February 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/20-february-2011 PISCES
Pressure and tension abound today, especially over finances, and this makes extravagance a total no-no as it leads to arguments with your partner. Achieving your goals is also difficult, and patience and self-confidence are essential. Is your man sensitive to your needs?

ARIES
The emphasis, to a large extent, is on your love life and relationships. If you take your friends for granted, you could lose your influence, while your career prospects become damaged for the same reason. In love matters, turning the tension into erotic sex will work magic.

TAURUS
You might not be feeling your best today, and more than just a little bit sorry for yourself. If something gets more serious, have it checked out. Is part of the reason because you feel you can’t control everything as you’d like to? Do what you can – everyone knows how hard-working and reliable you are.

GEMINI
You want to have as much fun as possible, while your work has to be challenging and creative in order for you not to lose interest. Debts have to be repaid, and this doesn't concern just the money that's owed, but also time taken off. You’ll just have to work harder later.

CANCER
The T square emphasizes problems between you, your family and your partner over money as well as a bit of tension in the workplace. Be careful of false promises – not everyone is as honest as you and it will be your reputation that suffers. In love you are wilder than you seem.

LEO
At work it’s vital that you don’t over-estimate your importance and knowledge, and don’t name-drop to get business associates to help you climb the social and financial ladder. Let your charm and hard work do it for you – this works for you in bed today too.

VIRGO
Your mind is very sharp today – decisive and practical as well as imaginative. Use these skills to help you keep on top of your finances especially if you are in a partnership (love or business). Sex wise, you are learning the true nature of physical connection, and why nothing is ever really enough.

LIBRA
Your home life might not be the haven of peace you need today. It's nothing serious, just that you think your family should co-operate and help more. Love-wise, don’t let arguments disintegrate into a battle. Instead, turn the tension into amazing, erotic sex.

SCORPIO
The only way to deal with the tension today is to find a balance between your own needs and those of everyone else. Give your time to the less fortunate, charities and hospitals – but don’t expect any thanks. Your colleagues will still expect you to work as hard as ever. Love-wise, you’ll need friends to keep you up-beat.

SAGITTARIUS
If you’ve been burning the candle at both ends, you’ve only yourself to blame if you feel dreadful today. But, was it worth it? If the answer is yes (and it probably is), do what you have to do to get over any hang-over. You want love to last forever.

CAPRICORN
It seems to be all about career versus family and home with you trying to keep the peace and keeping everyone happy but, as tension mounts, you could find your patience waning. You want your man to give you as much support as he can which leads to unrestrained love-making.

AQUARIUS
You show yourself as outgoing and communicative today, but there are secrets you aren’t going to share so that you can keep some power and control in your life. Widening your interests, travelling or working abroad are tempting – don’t make a decision without careful thought.

The Sun moves out of your own sign today and into Pisces, activating your finances and your personal value system. Your possessions become more important now and you feel that these show the world just who you are. Love-wise, you need someone to inspire you.

PISCES
The Sun moves into your own sign today emphasizing your compassion, altruism, sixth sense and your love of drama and fantasy. It also helps you fulfil your dreams. As a water sign ruled by Neptune and Jupiter your colours are violet and greeny-blue, and your birthstone, Aquamarine.

ARIES
As the Sun moves into Pisces, your unconscious motivations are activated. Anything you’ve hidden from others and even from yourself needs to be examined as you gain more understanding. You receive tremendous courage and strength at this time.

TAURUS
The Sun moves into Pisces today bringing with it recognition for your efforts, including financial rewards. The role you play in the lives of your friends and business associates grows more important as your status and influence become stronger.

GEMINI
Your reputation is the important factor now that the Sun is moving into Pisces, and it's time to assess your ambitions and how to achieve them. Your relationship with colleagues and authority figures is important if you want your career to succeed. Tune in to your intuition.

CANCER
The sun moving into Pisces opens the door to many new possibilities. You could take advanced training courses and learn new skills, or you might decide to travel overseas for a while. You are ready to take a few more risks – remember to be careful.

LEO
A Pisces Sun puts the emphasis on finances, especially money gained through family connections, inheritances, marriage or a business partnership. It's time for you pay your debts and collect money you are owed. Remember, you need money to ensure your independence.

VIRGO
This coming month is all about other people and the way you co-operate. If you are too strong or forceful you might find opposition. Love is an issue – does he help or impede your life? Business partnerships come under the same scrutiny, and common goals are key.

LIBRA
You are more concerned with your work now, and you're thinking about what motivates you and whether you take pride in your work. The Sun in Pisces encourages you to have beauty treatments, a new hair-style, visit the dentist and go for a medical check-up. Diet and exercise become very important now.

SCORPIO
As the Sun moves into Pisces you want more fun and pleasure in your life. Romance will be found now as your imagination and creativity become stronger. You attend more social events and initiate outings with friends. Your luck improves too.

SAGITTARIUS
Your focus is your home and family now that the Sun has moved into Pisces, and you might decide to renovate, decorate, or even sell your house. The time to strengthen family ties is right now, and a family connection could influence your career in the right direction.

CAPRICORN
Information is the key to the Sun moving into Pisces, and this could relate to computers, phones and transport. You won’t have to travel far to find success – it is right there in your neighbourhood. It is also time to increase your computer skills.

18 February 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/18-february-2011 AQUARIUS
The Full Moon shines on your love life today which means that, while it energizes your emotions, things could also become a bit tense. Keep these feelings to yourself, and don’t over-react – it's just the Full Moon exaggerating everything. Sort out money problems as amicably as you can.

PISCES
Your health and well-being are the focus of the Full Moon which could also be exacerbated by the opposition with your personal planet, Neptune, confusing the situation even further. Make sure you investigate, ask the experts and don’t self-diagnose. Extravagant sex is needed tonight.

ARIES
The Full Moon is shining on your romantic, creative life, watching you having fun and enjoy yourself. But Full Moons always bring some kind of imbalance into the mix. Perhaps you are attracted to someone else? Be careful…

TAURUS
You are trying to balance the needs of your family and career, mostly with great success. But now the Full Moon is adding some tension – you can use it to take you further and make you more successful or you can let it get to you and buckle under the weight. What are you going to do?

GEMINI
You should be doing what you do best – communicating. However, the Full Moon is making you more manipulative as you try to get everyone to see and do everything your way. When they don’t, you become anxious and nervous. Tempestuous sex is what you need.

CANCER
The Full Moon is watching over your spending today. You know when you spend too much, and inner tension mounts. There could be arguments with your partner which lead to hostility. Instead of overreacting, calm down for a few days before discussing things.

LEO
Even as you bask in your own love and admiration, suddenly you seem less sure of the future and confusion reigns. This is just the full Moon telling you not to be so sure of yourself. Get stuck into some hard work to take your mind off things for a few days.

VIRGO
The Full Moon tells you to watch your health, but also to visit someone in hospital as a warning that you are not immune. Make the effort to understand and find the compassion you need, not just for yourself but for others too. Avoid jealousy.

LIBRA
You’ve been enjoying a fun time, but suddenly the Full Moon suggests it's time you became more serious, making you feel almost guilty for being happy. Instead of getting angry with everyone for spoiling your fun, slow down and be your usual good-natured self.

SCORPIO
The Full Moon is encouraging you to stop worrying about your family and home and to put more effort into your career. You don’t like being told what to do – even by your own conscience! Do what has to be done to bring structure into your life so that you accomplish all you need to.

SAGITTARIUS
You are full of your next exciting adventure, and your ego spilling over with just how clever you are. But now the Full Moon is shining on you, making you think about what you are doing and saying, and confusing your usually quick mind. Are you just using your man?

CAPRICORN
The Full Moon is telling you not to over spend, especially on your credit card, and advising you not to borrow money if you can’t afford to pay it back. This could be frustrating and making you feel depressed, but you know it makes sense. Don’t let disappointment mar your love-life.

17 February 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/17-february-2011 AQUARIUS
You will be noticed today whether you like it or not. However, emotional pressure might not make you as friendly or open as usual – don’t force it as you will come across as insincere. Just get on with what has to be done. Your passionate love life will compensate.

PISCES
Not feeling your best? Don’t sit there worrying; rather, talk to your doctor or health professional so it can be sorted out as quickly as possible - otherwise you’ll have sleepless nights, probably over nothing and miss the opportunity to make great strides at work. Love is exhausting.

ARIES
You’ve certainly met your match today. In your love life and at work, you could find it difficult to get anyone to do your bidding as they seem to be just as busy, dominant and bossy as you. You’ll have to call up all your charm to persuade your colleagues and your lover to listen.

TAURUS
It's a good time to talk about any emotional issues regarding your parents or your career. You might think you are too busy, but when will you find the time? Be persuasive if necessary, but not too provocative. Keep that for your love life.

GEMINI
An overseas trip might have to be postponed for a local one which is frustrating as you just want to get on with your plans. Why does no-one understand? Try to go with the flow and do what has to be done. Arguing now will only make matters worse. At least love takes away all your frustrations.

CANCER
Are you looking for a lover or a father figure to take care of you and your financial worries? Marriage is a long-term commitment, not a quick fix. Your reputation is at risk, especially if your need for freedom asserts itself and you no longer want to be controlled.

LEO
Your love life could be a bit of a battle field at the moment – and he just doesn’t seem to understand your needs, no matter how hard you try. You are both a bit more sensitive today, so listen to your intuition for guidance. You have a breakthrough at work where you start to be really appreciated.

VIRGO
You’ll have to be very clear when you speak at work today otherwise you could meet opposition. You can be extremely persuasive in order to get what you want, but don’t let it be seen as manipulation. Excess spending is just over-indulgence, and it could ruin a good relationship.

LIBRA
It really is party time at the moment, and friends, social events and clubs all add to your mixing pot of pleasure. You are more sensitive than usual in your love life, and a bit of drama adds to the pleasure. You're connecting on all levels.

SCORPIO
Concentrate on your career now, especially if something is troubling you. You could be suffering from paranoia over a certain issue, perhaps to do with your family. Whatever the reason, try not to fret about it. You can sort it out when the aspects look better, possibly next week. Loving sex will take your mind off your troubles.

SAGITTARIUS
If emotional pressure is stopping you from planning your trip, leave if for the moment. Wait until things look calmer. Be careful when driving, buckle up and avoid accidents. You could easily over-react. Mega love-making is on offer.

CAPRICORN
It is all about style, spending, glamour and being seen in the right places, and your man will have to be equally snobbish. Neptune is adding a dash of drama to your life too. If you're over-spending, leave your credit card behind.

16 February 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/16-february-2011 AQUARIUS
Love-wise, you need to get real because it’s all happening – but could it be too serious, too soon? Sex is unpredictably passionate. It's time to try a new approach to your career, especially if you’ve been feeling a bit stuck and unable to move forward. Now you can push the limits.

PISCES
You want romance from your man and not just good sex, but instead of being dramatic and intense, try being more persuasive and crafty. Show him your love of art and music, plus how indulging in these things turns you on. Your health is delicate, and you need early nights and a good diet.

ARIES
Friendship, love and romance are the important themes today. Singles, you might meet that perfect man – well, perfect at first sight, anyway! Even if it doesn’t last, enjoy the moment. At work, networking will be extremely beneficial in the long-term.

TAURUS
The theme for you today is your family and home versus your career, but try not to become too intense. You’ll need to strategize, and parental issues might need your input. Love-wise, you need to give if you want to receive love.

GEMINI
Which will be more successful, a local business trip or one overseas? Learning new skills to help your present career, or studying for a change of direction? At least with your man you can laugh and relax.

CANCER
Today is about finance and values as well as shared resources. It is also about earnings, the payment of debt, and who is responsible for what in a partnership, whether it's business or marriage. Now is the time to talk about these problems before they become too big to handle. Love feels safe.

LEO
Love is with you all the way today, and even your usual battles turn into lust. Restrictions at work are holding you back, especially if you are in a business partnership. Don’t be hasty – think very carefully before you move on. Success is there when you make considered judgments.

VIRGO
You are more than usually feminine today – or this just an act? Is it working, though, and the more powerful you are, the more submissive is your man. Whichever way, your sex life is great at the moment. Health-wise, you need to check out any serious symptoms with a professional.

LIBRA
This month is all about having fun, and a social event seems to be introducing you to all the right people, including the right men. Just ensure that you look and dress the part so that you attract the right kind of romance into your life.

SCORPIO
The whole month is about your home and family, despite Jupiter making you work extra hard. Make sure you don't get over-tired. Love-wise, it's another matter as you and your man seem to have it all, graciously accepting all the praise and attention showered on you.

SAGITTARIUS
Who demands the most attention, you or your man? Who has the adventurous spirit? You certainly want it all for yourself at the moment, and you let everyone around know it too. Try to be a little more sensitive and intuitive and you’ll get everything your heart desires.

CAPRICORN
Who is good enough for you today? The Moon is encouraging you to be a bit snobbish and elitist. You could be more emotional today, too, and if your man doesn’t understand or share your dreams, he could be on the way out. He might find himself walking on egg-shells today.

15 February 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/15-february-2011 AQUARIUS
At work, frustration is the key word – you are full of energy but no matter how hard you try, something seems to block you. Great patience is needed today. Instead of feeling totally depressed, why not visit someone in hospital or help a charity? Love is inspirational.

PISCES
Is your love life not as fulfilling as you’d hoped? You seem a bit obsessed with love and romance, but it's all confused and unsettling rather than satisfying. Sex is fine, but you need emotional input from your man as well. Your friends are the best listeners.

ARIES
Try not to over-react if a friend makes a remark that upsets you. Losing your cool won’t help, and it'll create even worse problems if you're talking to a business associate or colleagues. Use charm in meetings, conferences or social events to do with work. Love should be more relaxing than sexual today.

TAURUS
You need tender, warm loving rather than hot, wild sex today. Both have their place, so let your man know exactly what you want and need. The good news is that your career moves forward easily today with the emphasis on discussing your ideas. There are some frustrations, so practice patience.

GEMINI
There could be some discomfort because your creative talents aren’t bringing you the money you deserve (or think you deserve). Prepare to travel overseas for business or on holiday. Let him chase away your blues...

CANCER
You might think you can live on love alone, but today you are feeling a bit confused and even more emotional than usual. He is the cause of your sadness and frustration, but is it really his fault? Are you perhaps a bit too obsessive at the moment? You need warm, cosy love.

LEO
Try not to be too emotional when you speak – it's better to keep to the unembellished facts. Colleagues may find you overly friendly and not that sincere. Frustration with your lover also brings problems, but don’t let your anger spill over. Is your love being tested?

VIRGO
Mood swings could mar your day, especially if your business associates or friends don’t have the same interests as you. Avoid judging them by your own high standards – not many can match you. Neptune is confusing your love life, so relax and go with the flow. It will all sort itself out.

LIBRA
You're worrying about your home and family and trying to please everyone, but this kind of devotion is almost self-indulgent. Your career and work need your input, but something is holding you back so that your every move is blocked. Romance is needed in all areas of your life – go for scented sheets, candle-light and soft music.

SCORPIO
A problem could be keeping you awake, and you probably need some warm love and erotic sex to take your mind off your worries. Arguments at home won’t help, even if things aren’t progressing as fast as you’d like. The trick is not to overreact.

SAGITTARIUS
You still seem more intense and emotional than usual, and you can't decide if you just want a fling or a close, committed relationship. Do you prefer romance to the real thing? You don’t have to decide today. A friend could be causing you anguish, too – try talking things through.

CAPRICORN
You can’t ignore your career needs – even if you’d rather be concentrating on your love life. Work problems are causing frustration which then spills over into your love relationship, adding to the confusion. Try not to over-compensate by excessive affection. You need warm, tender love.

14 February 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/14-february-2011 AQUARIUS
It's Valentine’s Day! Do want to get serious now? You might have to take the lead and do the proposing. Let him see how you can transform his life. However, your Uranian need for freedom could still make you run away. Are you ready to make the necessary adjustments?

PISCES
Highly creative today, your imagination is working overtime. Energy follows thought so what you create in your mind can become reality sooner than you think. Focus on Valentine's Day romance rather than worrying about the long-term.

ARIES
The poor guy doesn’t stand a chance if you decide he’s the one for you. Apart from everything else (being wealthy, funny, intelligent and sexy) he has to be emotionally understanding and supportive. He might be encouraging your career aspirations, but what about emotionally? Love is dangerous.

TAURUS
Life seems to all about work and friendship rather than love – poor St. Valentine – and poor you! If you are in a relationship and want it to go to the next level, today is a good time to talk about it. Under that macho image there usually lurks a little boy wanting to be loved.

GEMINI
In order to make head-way, you need to focus on your finances today. They're looking good, but with a bit of tweaking you could do even better. Jupiter suggests you ask business associates (especially financial wizards) for advice. Your sex life seems to be more loving – perfect for Valentine's night!

CANCER
One of the best days all month. Valentine’s day is bringing you buckets of love – so much that you don’t need anything else. Go after what you want – no-one will refuse you today. Just try to keep heavy emotion out of the equation. And don’t say yes if you don’t really mean it.

LEO
Try being more loving and less pushy. You're bound to get him in the end, and with St. Valentine on your side, it could be sooner than you think… He seems to be doing very well financially, so that shouldn’t be a problem. With your help, he’ll do even better.

VIRGO
You want it all today, and you can have it too…from a loving home to career success. Love is not only warm and tender, it's totally all-consuming. Is this one of those made-in-heaven relationships? You do need to socialize sometimes, and your friends are always there for you.

LIBRA
St. Valentine just loves a bit of romance – and he is bringing it to you now with Jupiter suggesting it goes up a notch to become a more committed relationship. It is important, though, that you don’t forget your career. Your prospects are more than good.

SCORPIO
Today is all about togetherness, being cosy in your home and planning your next trip abroad. Are you discussing another course of study to further your career? You're wielding paint-brushes together as you renovate or decorate. St. Valentine wants total commitment – are you both ready?

SAGITTARIUS
There is an intensity about your present relationship which doesn’t sit well with you. If he keeps it light you’ll fall straight in, otherwise your need for freedom becomes excessive. If he's on the same intellectual wave-length you’ll be more predictable.

CAPRICORN
If St. Valentine has his way, this is the prefect day for love and commitment. Finances are looking good, but are his up to scratch? Capricorn women need a man who is strong, capable and financially secure – only then will you be ready to relinquish control of your life.

13 February 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/13-february-2011 AQUARIUS
When you feel a bit tense, with your mind fixed on only your point of view, do you find your ankles are a bit stiff and achey? Aquarius rules the ankles, and it's important you keep them massaged and follow a healthy diet with not too many carbs. You need to work on being a generous lover.

PISCES
Although you don’t really want fame or to be in the limelight, you excel in the theatre as you can hide behind a mask and immerse yourself in another character. Your healing powers are needed today as love is messy and a bit haphazard.

ARIES
Today is all about friends, chatting and visiting, but be warned: a business meeting may not go the way you plan. Someone could disagree with your views and find you too domineering – try to discuss your differences rather than argue or you could end up with a headache. Love is fast and furious.

TAURUS
Your health is often a barometer for your sex life, and when lacking love you put on weight and suffer bad throats. Toughen up – you don’t need anyone. It's vital that you exercise and have a very healthy diet with lots of fruit, veggies for vitamin C. Your finances look fine, so don't worry over nothing.

GEMINI
You live to travel, communicate and tell people what to do. When you're confined or have no-one to talk to, you get colds and even bouts of bronchitis. Deep breathing will help bring oxygen to all parts of your body. Today someone could ask for a lift or to share transport. Love is a complete whirlwind.

CANCER
You need to be needed, and when you aren't you become sad and depressed, with lowered vitality. Spending time near water (the sea, a lake, a river or a stream – even a tiny fountain on your bedside table) helps and it is important that you get love from family. Sex is dreamy.

LEO
A day to visit friends, socialize and invite people home. You're miserable when left alone too much, and you start to feel deprived of love which, in turn, makes you unhappy and even ill. Follow a healthy diet for your heart, visit your chiropractor and remember to exercise – all these will help. Love is self-indulgent.

VIRGO
It’s Sunday, but you're still worrying about your work. You need to relax with friends, so arrange to meet up for lunch or supper. Keep your digestive system and intestines healthy, and ensure you wear well-fitting comfortable shoes whenever possible. Enjoy some erotic sex.

LIBRA
Who's the boss - you or your lover? Do have a common vision for the future, or is this just a liberating fling? You actually need people around you as being alone too much can make you ill. Drink lots of water to keep your kidneys flushed, and keep love cool and easy-going.

SCORPIO
You try hard to keep your man serene, quiet and calm – but is he happy? There could be some resistance if all he wants to do party. Deadlines and trying to finish everything on time could make you ill, so lighten up if you don't want to suffer uterine or throat problems.

SAGITTARIUS
A social day where you meet up with friends and neighbours, and let love and romance into your life rather than fighting it. This way you'll ensure that you stay healthy, fit and ready for adventure. His strengths add to yours and you become a potent couple.

CAPRICORN
As long as you keep control in the bedroom, you feel happy. You need to keep your bones and teeth strong and healthy with a good diet, enough sleep, friends and a patient lover who understands your need to have your libido set free!

12 February 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/12-february-2011 AQUARIUS
You want to please your man today and have him pleasure you back – the more fun the better! Use your intuition if you receive subtle or hidden messages. The good news is that you’ll get answers to all your questions.

PISCES
This is a good day to talk to your family, parents and other people close to your heart. Meetings at work, a club or an association go well, and you could be asked to take a more active role. Love is expansive, but active sex may not be a priority today.

ARIES
It is all about your mind today – your intellect, recognition for your intelligence, your wit and your clever ideas. This is a good day to write letters to friends and relatives, but also to your MP or newspaper about an issue you need to take up. You need fun in bed today, and inhibitions are a no-no.

TAURUS
Today is a good day for finances with the emphasis on improved earnings. If you do get a raise or some other benefit, don’t expect to keep it secret. You might get criticized for having an opinion which isn't shared by others, but don’t let it upset you. Love is all about glamour.

GEMINI
Bored with your love life? Think up other ways to reignite or reinvent the romance. If nothing else is achieved, at least your imagination can go wild. You don’t have to make a deep commitment at the moment, especially if the call of distant lands is stronger than ever before.

CANCER
You seem to be in a lighter mood than usual, and ready for action. You’ll give your man as well as family and friends as much love and support as you can, and your role is to uplift and to heal. You're ready to love without conditions or inhibitions.

LEO
Full of fun and games, your love life should be enchanting and playful. You need freedom to do and say whatever you want, without restriction or criticism – though your man might object. The need for power might upset your colleagues, so strive to be kind.

VIRGO
Worrying about your health? If there is something wrong, be sure to get it checked by a health professional. If not, opt for a new hairstyle, have a facial or do whatever it takes to boost your self confidence and make you feel wonderful. Energetic sex will help.

LIBRA
Facts and figures don’t seem to matter to you today – it is all about imagination and creativity. For the best results you need to combine the two, otherwise you could end up in trouble. Love-wise, you need your man to help you feel liberated.

SCORPIO
You are jumpier than usual, and instead of your usual need for blissful silence you chatter about nothing. Still, pheromones are buzzing so your love life will be exciting. At home, it's vital that you look after your important documents. Don’t let a family argument spoil your day.

SAGITTARIUS
Meetings and short strips will be successful - as long as you don’t overreact when someone challenges you. Make sure you take care on the roads, and that your car is serviced and checked. Flirtatious romance could easily turn to real, committed love today – if this is what you want. Be honest.

CAPRICORN
Your life is filled with meetings and discussions. If you are lucky these comments will be full of admiration, but there is also the risk of malicious gossip. Don’t overreact – if you weren’t worth talking about, no-one would bother. In love, flirting is not your style.

11 February 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/11-february-2011 AQUARIUS
You have some very innovative ways of making money, but today Mercury is challenging these views and suggesting that you think before acting. Being slightly more conservative will help, including in your love life. If he isn’t passionate enough, perhaps you should tell him what you need.

PISCES
You need time alone at the moment to accomplish everything you need to do and work privately through any past events or actions that have not been dealt with. Give generously to the less fortunate and you'll receive it back – in double. In love, let him pamper you.

ARIES
Are you doing too much? The more you overload yourself, the less you’ll accomplish in the long run. Remember, your opposite sign is Libra which means that balance is needed in all aspects of your life, but especially in your love relationships. You see the possibilities, but you don’t need to accomplish everything in one day.

TAURUS
Pay close attention to detail, especially in your career. You could well be in the spotlight so you need to look and act your best – and know what you're talking about. Whatever you do, keep your temper under control because arguments will work against you. In love, appreciate each others' individuality.

GEMINI
Don’t sit back satisfied – reach beyond yourself. There are so many different possibilities and options, both in South Africa and abroad. Open your mind to different spiritual and political ideas, as well as to all kinds of people because everyone has something good to offer. In love, is he sensitive enough for you?

CANCER
You’ve probably decided what you want to do, so now is the time to develop your talents and skills so that you can achieve anything and everything you want. Don’t forget the financial side – joint ventures mean joint income which can be difficult. Pay your debts, taxes, and invest wisely. Love is all about trust.

LEO
If you stick to your own point of view without considering others, you’ll find you don’t get the co-operation you need – and you need the help of others today. Try to avoid being too intense, even if you disagree. Just hope that he isn’t as inflexible as you today.

VIRGO
You could be ready for a long-term relationship, but is he the right one? Passionate sex is one thing, but marriage means so much more. Don’t be fooled. Work-wise, you could receive some good reviews and health-wise, a bit of pampering will help.

LIBRA
Expect delays in your holiday plans, so keep your travel, theatre and other tickets and documents safe. Also keep a close watch on your lap-top and cell phone. Take charge of your love life, even if there is some tension – and don’t overreact if he doesn’t agree with everything you say.

SCORPIO
You don’t want a sexual quick-fix – you need a relationship that develops into something real and long lasting, so work on trusting him more. Moodiness won’t help, but will only lead to dissatisfaction from both of you. Real estate transactions could be delayed and house keys mislaid. Avoid arguments at all costs.

SAGITTARIUS
You could easily get tense and angry today which will only lead to an accident, car trouble or doing things so quickly that you make mistakes or lose important documents. Calm down, relax, and go for a long walk or run. Love, on the other hand, is satisfying and erotic.

CAPRICORN
Someone could challenge your values, but don’t overreact when defending yourself. Check all your accounts and statements because mistakes can happen. You and your man should be on the same wave length – just remember not to be too dominant.

10 February 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/10-february-2011 AQUARIUS
There could be obstacles in your love life as your relationship fails to live up to your expectations. If you let issues simmer instead of confronting them, there could be an explosion of emotion. If this happens, have an early night and direct the energy into hot sex.

PISCES
It’s a quiet day in the heavens – great for contemplating the future as well as the present. You're more giving and charitable than usual, but you still have some financial concerns. Remember, the more you give, the more you receive. Take extra care of your ankles.

ARIES
It started off hot, but has your current love relationship slowed down almost to a stop? Think of your career instead, and use your considerable energy to make decisions, visualize your future and go for it. Watch your body language – you could be giving away your secrets.

TAURUS
Your energy is devoted to your relationships and your need to be seen as friendly and co-operative. Just don’t go over-board! Excessive friendliness can be as difficult to handle as aloofness. At work, marketing and advertising campaigns are a success.

GEMINI
The intensity of your emotions is putting your friendships at risk. They are probably used to light-hearted Gemini, not this emotional, passionate individual. If he isn’t sensitive enough to appreciate your changing moods, is he the one for you?

CANCER
If you find your present relationship a bit too cloying, this is a good time to spend a few hours with a girl friend, laughing, gossiping and shopping. Does your man understand your need for this kind of intimacy? Still - he loves your lack of inhibitions.

LEO
Direct all your energies towards your relationships, especially towards colleagues and business associates. The more you interact, the more help, co-operation and inspiration you’ll get back. You won’t achieve as much on your own. Love-wise, you're feeling daring.

VIRGO
There are endless possibilities at work today which could involve a foreign element, travel, further studies to organizing an advertising or marketing campaign. You’ll be openly competitive now, but use this energy wisely rather than too aggressively. In love be compassionate as well as passionate.

LIBRA
You need more than just romantic love – you require intensity, depth and passion. The more enthusiastic and creatively physical you are towards him, the more he’ll respond. Let this enthusiasm spill over into your career and work. It's time to take charge.

SCORPIO
Your energies are all devoted to your home and family, and today there could be some competition or issues to do with power. You need to share and trust more, especially if you are in a relationship. Watch your body language. He needs to be strong today.

SAGITTARIUS
Never one to hold back the comments, today you outdo yourself. Just watch that you don’t really hurt someone with your verbal arrows. Direct your energy towards your ideas, and get these across to a wider public. You need action today so don’t sit back – the more you have, the more you want today.

CAPRICORN
Busy, busy, busy – your energy is devoted to making money, organizing your finances to make the most interest and ensuring you earn enough to cover your expenses. You are the most capable of all the signs, but even you can fail if you don’t stop to think. In love you need his support.

Ms. Independence, if you would allow your family to give you love and security, you might be surprised at just how calm and relaxed you’ll feel - especially if you’ve been getting some negative feedback or publicity. You don’t need more emotional intensity and are drawn towards macho men.

PISCES
As long as he adores your femininity, understands your moods and your need to be alone as well as listening to everything you have to say, you're happy. There is either a much older or a much younger man on the horizon. Pay attention to the men your friends introduce you to.

ARIES
Your thoughts today turn to your values and finance, and how you can use your contacts, friends, and associates to help you up the career ladder. Make it happen, but remember to use diplomacy and don’t be too blatant about your needs. He might be very sexy, but is he clever enough to retain your interest?

TAURUS
For those of you in a relationship, as long as there isn’t a hint of boredom your love life will be emotionally satisfying. Many of you are more interested in reaching the top of your profession or career, and now is the time to really make it happen. You have the ability – now handle the problems.

GEMINI
It's time for you to tune in to your own strengths, so think about what is going on in your life and how you can solve problems. You have a very quick mind which is able to find solutions to every situation. Love-wise, many of you are turned on by the forbidden fruit – but are you aware of the hurt you can cause?

CANCER
There is a bit of a question going on in your own mind: Are you ready for an intensely passionate affair, or do you really just want light friendship? If there is a difference over finances or shared values, wait before trying to make a commitment.

LEO
Your love life is sexy and vigorous, and you're being a bit of an exhibitionist. Does he realise just how ambitious you really are? Remember the adage about not being able to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear? If your present man can’t fulfil your dreams, it's better to end things now.

VIRGO
As long as you have your health you can do anything, and the possibilities at the moment are endless. Your work is bringing great financial benefits, and your mind is open to new ideas – you can go far if you want to. Love-wise, you could meet that long-term partner through work.

LIBRA
You're experiencing a bit of stress which is invigorating and encourages you to achieve everything you set out to do, especially when you use your creative talents. If you let these innovative ideas spill over in to your sex life, who knows where it’ll lead? Excess rules.

SCORPIO
Sultry, enigmatic Scorpios, you seem almost obsessive about your love relationships. You have to take care of family and home issues, but your love life is the over-riding feature. Use your most innovative ideas to ensure that romance is unforgettable.

SAGITTARIUS
You might have a lot in common, but is he a bit heavy going? You are the one who wants to be travelling and having adventures, but he prefers you to be in bed. There is work to be done, so get onto the computer or telephone and share your ideas.

CAPRICORN
Romance is what you really need - someone who appreciates your hard work and the way you help everyone. You need gifts of roses and perfume, to be taken you out to dinner and to be heard. You are not going to be rushed today.

8 February 2011 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/8-february-2011 AQUARIUS
As Chiron moves into Pisces today, you're probably worrying about money. Instead of drowning your sorrows in self-pity and over-indulgence, you should welcome the responsibility, by doing so increasing your feelings of self-worth. Encourage him to show his emotions.

PISCES
Always compassionate, Chiron moves into your own sign bringing added sharpness to your intuition so that you know exactly when it's the right time to speak and act, especially in defence of the less fortunate. An argument over money brings tension – don’t expect too much of him.

ARIES
Your imagination is working overtime now that Chiron has moved into Pisces, and you’ll have to discern between fantasy and reality. Your healing powers are strong, so offer compassion, understanding and comfort. Will he appreciate it, though?

TAURUS
As Chiron moves into Pisces you might find you prefer to work on your own rather than in a group situation. You also want fewer, more meaningful friendships. At work, instead of saying you are right, show them through your creative ideas. Love-wise you're in protective mode.

GEMINI
Do you lack responsibility, yet are trying to control things that have nothing to do with you? Instead of looking for people to mother you, shower others (and yourself) with the love you want from them. You want him to be totally infatuated – but, what do you give in return?

CANCER
You're very spiritual, but be careful not to let a ‘guru’ control your life. It's important to keep balanced – fad diets, exercise programmes, or any other over-enthusiasm could easily work against you. Avoid an argument with one of your parents - you are far stronger than you think.

LEO
You have the ability to look into your emotions with depth and understanding, and you come to realise you the way you do. While Chiron is in Pisces you seem to be a more powerful personality than before – is this good or bad for you? Love-wise, 'invigoration sex' is needed.

VIRGO
It will be much easier for you to heal any problems in your current relationship now that Chiron has moved into Pisces, but you both need space for yourselves. Finances could be frustrating – try not to be too judgmental, especially with your man.

LIBRA
You could have trouble finding balance in your relationships and friendships. In love, are you too subservient? You might think you know what's best in every situation, but he resents your interference. This could cause some tension which, on the upside, leads to great sex.

SCORPIO
Your self-confidences seems to have disappeared, and you'll have to work hard to find that joy in life and to be spontaneous again.

Today Venus moves into Capricorn, Mercury into your own sign and the Moon into Pisces. You have so many innovative ideas for the future, but what about today? You need to let love happen, but still to keep your own set of values.

TAURUS
Venus suggests that you should pursue higher education, learn new skills and broaden your mind if you want to go forward, but you still believe that networking is the only way to bolster your career.

GEMINI
You don’t want him to think for himself, you just want him to admire you and listen to what you have to say. In bed, though, you might be in for a surprise. Is it time to get out of your rut, travel, broaden your horizons and book a holiday abroad, or even consider working overseas for a while?

LIBRA
Your man might have his own plans, but yours focus on your home and family. If he's cooperative, it's a huge turn-on for you. It's all about collaboration rather than either of you going it alone. But, does he realize that you want and need fun and romance rather than just plain sex?

SCORPIO

SCORPIO

CANCER
There are so many mixed emotions churning through you – you're exhilarated by the thought of unrestrained sex, but feel totally exhausted too - talk about confusion! With so much going on in your 8th house, it's no wonder your love life is uppermost in your mind. But, as always, it’s time to pay off any money you owe.

LEO
Work is at the forefront of your conversations, but it's your love life (or your social life) that is your prime motivation today, and you have to work hard at juggling between the two. Try not to be too demanding.

VIRGO
It seems that the only person to help you snap out your ailments is your man as he takes you out of yourself and reminds you that there is an exciting, stimulating world out there. At work, don’t be scared of expressing your feelings and ideas, even if they're over-the-top imaginative.

LIBRA

SCORPIO
Your love relationship is hard work today – you have your own problems, but your man seems to need even more of your attention than normal. Family issues are also very demanding, but don’t neglect your work. Ask your colleagues for help if necessary.

SAGITTARIUS
You can’t keep anything secret today - if you meet a new man, everyone will know as it shows on your face and in every gesture. Sexy, not subtlety, is the name of the game. At some point, you're going to have to mention finances - you don’t want to end up with a pauper.

CAPRICORN
You are still in financial mode, and it's the best time of the year to get everything sorted, and your investments and savings on track. Your love life looks a bit unpredictable, and if you express yourself in a challenging way you could upset your man.

You can easily solve your problems. If you want drama in your love life, you’ll get it now!

TAURUS
Can your man afford you? If you demand designer everything, he’ll be broke before you can say Prada. Let him be the boss in the bedroom, at least. All you have to do is co-operate and show just how much you love and care. Use your initiative at work – your career can only move upwards.

GEMINI
Are you on the same wave-length as your man, and does he want the same things as you, or do you just not really know what it is you're after? You are Gemini, so can be forgiven for changing your mind every few minutes. Also, the call of distant lands is suggesting you plan your next trip…

CANCER
The Moon is suggesting that you are not in the best mood, and it probably involves your family or home life.

When you get it, your libido will go into over-drive.
