Use your self-confidence to take you anywhere and everywhere. All your personal goals are easier to achieve now so don’t hold back. You get on with everyone, are light and funny but with serious depths of feeling, too. Don’t be taken in by a ‘poor me’ would-be boyfriend - he’ll just drain you.

CANCER
Your newfound self-confidence and your willingness to co-operate makes it easy for you to succeed - if and when you need any help it will come from one of your many supporters. Love-wise, you don’t want to cause hurt, but know when to stay and when to move on.

LEO
Take time out today to think about your latest project as well as your domestic environment. Are they working in sync, or do your plans need to be revised? Discuss with friends and colleagues - they could have some valuable insights. Intense passions and possessiveness rule your love life – exhausting!

VIRGO
There’s no reason to feel even slightly down today as your career aspirations should be in sight. If you need boosting, talk to friends and associates - they’ll confirm just how much they value your opinions. Caring and nurturing, you need your man to provide some lightness and adventure.

LIBRA
Your enthusiasm for everything you do rubs off on to everyone around as they all want to share in your luck. Best results come from concentrating on one project at a time, despite your multi ideas - focus on the finances, too. In love, you need to have a lot in common for you to feel really satisfied.

SCORPIO
Finances look better than they have for a while, but investigate and research, knowing that you are on the right track. Many new opportunities are opening up to you, so don’t limit yourself but be ready to fulfil all your passions - sex-wise, too.

SAGITTARIUS
You know exactly what you want and with your extreme self-confidence, know you can have everything. Your sense of humour and ability to see the ridiculous in the most serious of situations ensures that you win. Despite your passion, lovemaking has to be fun.

CAPRICORN
You outwardly show self-confidence, no matter how you feel inside, but today you can be sure that your great inner optimism is real. Meetings at work go well, but keep a close eye on your diary so you don’t get bogged down and forget the time. In love, inspiration rules.

AQUARIUS
Your intensity today suggests you will succeed at everything as long as you don’t go OTT in the effort - otherwise your dreams could just vanish. It’s important to keep your eye on the small print, and on good organisation. Are you relaxed enough to really enjoy your love life today?

PISCES
You have some really creative and interesting ideas, and many opportunities are opening up to you. Keep your sense of humour intact - it will help keep you up-beat, no matter how depressed you get. And there is no need to feel down - you have everything going for you including passionate lovemaking.

ARIES
Your passions are rising, you have total confidence in everything you do, and you know you can achieve all your dreams. Property deals look fortunate, but so are all other projects. Don’t be impatient with friends and family who offer advice and ideas - they are only trying to help. Your libido needs satisfying – passionately!

TAURUS
Your financial position should improve quite rapidly now, as long as you give it all your attention and don’t let extravagance or love of the good life take over. Make the job of finding a way forward fun rather than a drag and you’ll succeed beyond your imagination. Love is amazingly sexual tonight.

You’ve been quite impressed with the work you’ve been doing - now everyone else has the opportunity to be equally impressed, so opening the way for new and exciting things ahead. If you’ve exaggerated your importance - beware! You bewitch your boyfriend, and anything goes!

CANCER
You are the spider in the centre today - no-one, especially not your boyfriend, can escape your web… No-one minds, though, as your good fortune rubs off on to them and you are fun, romantic and full of exciting new ideas. Love is surprising.

LEO
Invite friends and business associates home today - the larger the role you play in their lives, the more they’ll support your interests. The trick is not to limit yourself but to let others deal with the small details while you focus on the big picture. Love is highly sexual, but is there emotion?

VIRGO
Don’t waste any time in letting everyone know just how good you are at everything you do - make sure you are looking your very best, too, as you’ll be in the spotlight. Take this opportunity to change your life how you want it to be. Love-wise, it’s time to take back your power.

LIBRA
So what is it you want, and where do you want to go? You can have it all now, so don’t waste the current opportunities as they don’t come round that often! Don’t let jealousy ruin a good relationship - you are bigger than that.

SCORPIO
If you promise more than you can achieve, you’ll be in a worse position than by saying no in the first place. The answer is to be realistic and honest while oozing self confidence. Love-wise, if you aren’t going to prosper from the relationship, move on.

SAGITTARIUS
Work as part of a group - naturally with you as the leader! Seriously, negotiations, contracts and joint ventures will all benefit by your input and all legal matters go well, too, as you successfully combine your commercial abilities with intuitive strength. Don’t pretend - go for it!

CAPRICORN
Everything you do at work today will be touched by gold, but this means your responsibilities will grow and you could well decide to take on further training. This is the right time to get your body into peak shape and fitness - but consult an expert first. Love is all about obsessive sex.

AQUARIUS
As your imagination races away, you absolutely know there is nothing limiting you. The only setback is that you’re inspired in too many directions, but could be overly extravagant in your desire for the good life… Sex-wise, take care not to over-whelm him.

PISCES
Don’t sit still, but start to do the things you’ve been wanting to do - a new business venture, writing a book, further study or buying a new home. Even purchasing a couple of new cushions could kick-start your ambitions. If you don’t sing the same tune, get out of there!

ARIES
You aren’t going to take ‘no’ for an answer today - you are nearly there... Your influence is growing so exchange ideas, widen your circle of contacts and learn as much as you can. An opportunity is there for you to become a leader in your neighbourhood. Sultry and sexy rule tonight.

TAURUS
Your financial matters are improving, but you must take great care not to squander any of it as this is the time to conserve and make your money grow. Your love life is more satisfying than it has been for a while, but it’s time to focus on his needs rather than on your own. Be generous with your love.
]]> Wed, 19 Jun 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/18-june-2013 GEMINI
Your boyfriend will be happy today as you want really exciting romance, as well as being ready for a few risky adventures. If there is no-one special around, then get stuck in a work project or play some sport. Don’t restrict yourself - you can do and be anything you want, but keep it to yourself for now.

CANCER
You want to make a move on that new project you’ve been planning and thinking about, but it’s still keep quiet at the moment, so bide your time. You could even get someone to work on your behalf. When you get all your facts, figures and everything else planned, take action. Don’t confine yourself sexually.

LEO
If you spend too long on the problems of your friends and associates, you’ll accomplish nothing for yourself. Perhaps it’s time to consider what you and who you need in your life, but in the nicest possible way. Flattery gets you everything today - great sex, too.

VIRGO
With colleagues, associates and friends on your side, it’s time to promote yourself - you could even see a rise in your earnings. Take this opportunity to promote your favourite cause too - it will benefit them and you’ll receive all the kudos. Will he sweep you away today? Probably not...

LIBRA
With so many opportunities coming your way, it’s hard for you to know what you want, to make a decision. But with so much energy today, you need to decide on something otherwise, tomorrow, you’ll realise you’ve just wasted precious time. In love at least you know who and what you want.

SCORPIO
Take time out, get on the computer and do some research, investigation into whatever project or scheme you are into, including what your boyfriend is up to. However, don’t become obsessed with this relationship - it will only confuse you more. Sex is difficult to predict.

SAGITTARIUS
A joint venture or partnership is going well - don’t over-do the enthusiasm, but keep your cool and it’ll work out to your advantage. Love and passion rule your relationship with your boyfriend - unless your challenges are sexual, don’t be too challenging.

CAPRICORN
You could do everything with such enthusiasm that you fall over yourself… Slow down a bit and you’ll accomplish much more. The same goes for your health regime - follow the instructions on your vitamin bottle, work up slowly on the treadmill. You don’t want to end up crippled.

AQUARIUS
The pursuit of pleasure rules - and you are ready to take risks and have adventures, both at work and in your private life. Romance is high on your agenda but it must be fun - if your boyfriend is on your wavelength who knows where it will lead?

PISCES
Passion and intensity rule today, with most of it directed towards your family and domestic environment. Bring some romance and fun into it too. A new business venture, especially a joint venture, could bring in the money - get on with it. Does he realise you have your own plans?

ARIES
Whatever you want to do, you’ll achieve it now - be ready for a really busy day running errands, rushing between meetings or setting out on a trip. You’ll be even more opinionated than usual - but your boyfriend won’t mind as you are in the mood for anything goes fabulous sex.

TAURUS
If you’ve finally got your financial act together, today would be a good one to buy any equipment you need to take the project even further. Prioritise, get stuck into organising your finances and paying bills as well as keeping to the big picture. Meanness is out, lavish lovemaking is in.
]]> Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/17-june-2013 GEMINI
Don’t stick to the same old ideas, but use your creative talents to move you along, whether making money or in a love situation - certainly your sex life will benefit! Your enthusiasm at work means you can solve most problems, though you must be flexible, ready to take advantage of every possibility.

CANCER
You don’t have to tell everyone what you are planning, just deal with all issues quickly and decisively. Love-wise, if you are ending a relationship you’ll have to deal with the tension. Only you know if it has to be done - it won’t be easy in the short term, but look to the future.

LEO
You might think you have to discuss problems with colleagues, but there could well be conflict and arguments. Don’t push your opinions, but be ready to appreciate their opinion and it will be much easier to find a solution. Love-wise, let him know just how much you love him…

VIRGO
The more self-reliant you are, the easier it’ll be to achieve your goals. Whatever you do though, don’t compromise your values. Your ideas might be unusual but they seem to be the best way forward for you. Tension in your love life will be softened by bringing in more than a little romance.

LIBRA
Your career goals are certainly within your sights - but you seem ready to run away at the slightest set-back! Relax, co-operate and let it all happen. You could unexpectedly find a colleague not only on your side but ready to help promote your ideas. In love you are more assertive than usual.

SCORPIO
Something unexpected happens, making you review everything you’ve been doing. You might have to make a minor alteration or even take the project to the next level. Just do what has to be done, and then let your passions rule your love life. Far more fun!

SAGITTARIUS
Your imagination and creative talents are taking you into totally new and unchartered territory. It’s exciting but maybe a bit scary, whether this is to do with your love life or with your work. Friends and colleagues are giving support but it’s your commitment that counts. Sex has no limits…

CAPRICORN
It seems you can’t really rely on anyone at the moment, so just get on with it as best you can, concentrating on both the big picture and the small print. You are more than capable so it’s probably how you like it anyway. If you aren’t too tired, lovemaking will be equally accomplished.

AQUARIUS
As new ideas come flooding in to you at the moment your daily work and responsibilities grow - you might have to travel more as well. Don’t force your opinions and change - just let them happen. Love-wise, the sex is buzzing, but is there much emotional content?

PISCES
Your finances could be undergoing some changes - don’t take risks, but look at your income and investments and investigate how best to move forward. This could cause a few domestic arguments - don’t overreact but try not to lose your cool. Great sex will help you relax.

ARIES
You may think you have to change in order to suit your boyfriend, but really this should be for you rather than anyone else. If you want a new hair style or to bring out a different side of your personality, then do so. An argument could lead to extremely wild, erotic sex.

TAURUS
Try not to get depressed about a pressing financial issue - things are changing, so don’t worry, stay positive and embrace all the new ideas. Do all the necessary paper work, the daily chores. Talk everything over with a trusted friend or boyfriend. Let femininity rule your love life.
]]> Mon, 17 Jun 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/16-june-2013 GEMINI
You know exactly what you want, have some really interesting and perhaps revolutionary ideas which you’ll easily get everyone to listen as long as you aren’t too opinionated. The answer is to be as open and co-operative as possible. Try not to be too self-sufficient if you want your boyfriend on your side.

CANCER
Use today to mull over your latest career ideas, and perhaps keep your more unconventional ones to yourself until you have decided exactly what it is you want to do as you’ll come up against opposition. Love-wise, affection as opposed to confrontation will lead to animalistic sex.

LEO
An old boyfriend could turn up again or a bad memory could damage your present relationship. It’s important to let this sort of thing go, it’s the future that counts now and you have everything going for you with many exciting opportunities opening up.

VIRGO
Promote yourself and your money-making ideas - throw yourself whole-heartedly into whatever you do and everyone will go along with you. Organise friends and colleagues to help while you keep the vision intact. Let your boyfriend provide the relaxing peace tonight.

LIBRA
Don’t limit yourself - there are many exciting opportunities out there from career opportunities to travel to a new lover interest… All you have to do is to be honest to yourself and avoid social climbing. Talking of love, do you still have to hint to your boyfriend you need more passion?

SCORPIO
Intensity rules everything you do, but just because you want it to happen, doesn’t mean everyone else does too so be ready to show appreciation and a willingness to co-operate. Extravagant gestures will work against you now. Spill this passion into your love-life - you’ll be totally captivating.

SAGITTARIUS
Plans for a partnership or joint venture look extremely exciting, but is this the time for making a career move? Don’t take risks today, but consider all your actions very carefully before making any long-term moves. Your love passion needs an equally intense boyfriend.

CAPRICORN
Take time today for exercise and playing sport, but if you aren’t totally fit, take it easy so you don’t pull a muscle or do any other damage. A really great sexual work out would be equally as good. Increasing your knowledge won’t bring short-term benefits, but will really help long-
Term.

AQUARIUS
The pursuit of pleasure this weekend could leave with you a bad taste in your mouth, so be careful and don’t overdo it. Love is more emotional than usual. Use your creative imagination to bring new exciting ideas to your work and career goals. Take the initiative and it will all fall into your lap.

PISCES
You can easily accomplish your financial goals if you use your creative imagination - but equally, you could lose it all through bad decisions and extravagance leading to a loss of independence too so be careful. Warmth and nurturing rule your love life.

ARIES
It’s time to show not only your family but your whole world just what you are made of - you have the ideas, you have the skills and the energy to accomplish everything you set out to do. So, do it! Love though seems more creative than passionate.

TAURUS
Finance is still your major concern - now you have the ideas and Mars is bringing the energy and enthusiasm so get on with developing your ideas into concrete action. Expect the unexpected, go with the flow and you’ll be in a win-win position. Love seems powerful today.
]]> Sun, 16 Jun 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/15-june-2013 GEMINI
You probably feel a bit confused about the direction you are heading - now matter how hard, keep control of your emotions and be as realistic as you can be. Try not to change your mind unless you are absolutely sure this is what you want. Great sex will release some of the pressure, and you’ll both have a great night.

CANCER
At last you are moving in the direction you want, though not without some resistance from others. Just keep doing what is right for you, though it won’t hurt to listen and co-operate rather than overreacting. Try not to let moodiness mar your love life tonight - show the love you feel.

LEO
You could be quite bossy today, and that won’t go down well with colleagues, friends or anyone else. Try showing appreciation - it will get you everything you want even from those who are really against your ideas. At least you let your boyfriend take the lead.

VIRGO
Not even you can be in charge of everything or see to the smallest details. Give it a break otherwise you’ll just be a nervous wreck, and so will everyone else. Most of all, don’t carry this attitude over into the bedroom - let sensuality rule there instead.

LIBRA
When it comes to your career, there are no limits. Think through every idea and opportunity that comes, even if it means moving away from your comfort zone. There’s a big world out there to explore. Tune in to your intuition - you’ll be surprised! Encourage your man to be more demonstrative today.

SCORPIO
Your intensity and passion about everything you do could overwhelm your colleagues, especially as you don’t realise just how dynamic you really are. Staying in control of your emotions will be a better bet, even if it isn’t as satisfying in the short-term. Action in the bedroom will help.

SAGITTARIUS
Your need to confront everyone could be quite terrifying. It’s probably best if you could take time out alone to calm down otherwise you’ll alienate the very people you need. The best bet is to direct this passion into the bedroom - at least your boyfriend will benefit.

CAPRICORN
The whole month seems to be a bit of a slog, but now you see the light - and realise that you can choose whatever you want to do, go wherever you like. Encourage your boyfriend to bring a bit more heat into the bedroom so you can show just how much you care.

AQUARIUS
Your creative imagination has been flowing, but now your ideas need to be put into practice. Don’t delay now that you have the passion and energy - otherwise everyone will lose interest. You’ve probably been fantasising in the bedroom too - isn’t it time to turn these dreams into reality?

PISCES
You are so full of love and romance that it almost seems false… It’s not of course, just your personal planet, Neptune, overreacting and making everything slightly unreal. Can you get your feet back on the ground? Otherwise a hidden obstacle could give you a nasty knock.

ARIES
Your unusual, even eccentric, ideas at work will happily be accepted by colleagues, and you’ll bask in the glory of it all. Just remember that too much pride often ends in a massive fall so at least pretend to be a bit humble! What can you do to make love more exciting?

TAURUS
As most of your ideas at the moment are about earning enough money to make your life more fun, don’t go with anything less than what works for you. There are opportunities this weekend to relax and have some fun - take them as you desperately need a break. Sex could be quite powerful.
]]> Sat, 15 Jun 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/14-june-2013 GEMINI
Let your home and family provide you the comfort you need - it will balance your attitude to what’s been going on and the solutions will be much easier to find. Buying quality items will save you money in the long term. Love is a sexy challenge…

CANCER
Instead of just thinking about a situation, now is the time for action - show yourself as the confident, positive person you are, and you’ll make the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for. Your boyfriend is delighted to be with such a vivacious, sexy woman as yourself, but you could feel a bit confused.

LEO
It will be easier for you to see what is really going on if you take time out alone to think. You can tell everyone you have a headache and need to sleep if they insist on bothering you! You’ll have to think up a better excuse, though, if you don’t want to be the object of your boyfriend’s lust tonight!

VIRGO
Concentrate on your own career goals - if you keep giving everyone else a helping hand up the ladder, you’ll miss out on the opportunities yourself and they probably won’t give you a ‘thank you’ anyway. Less criticism and more passion is called for.

LIBRA
With so many business opportunities, both here and in other countries, it’s hard to know what to do next… Take time out to consider all your options very carefully so that you move on knowing you’ve made the right decision. Be more demonstrative in bed tonight - your boyfriend won’t believe his luck.

SCORPIO
The potential is there for you to increase your assets through an unexpected work opportunity - you could discuss the broad outline with friends and your boyfriend. Talking of relationships, take this opportunity for greater sexual enjoyment - it’s time to take back your power.

SAGITTARIUS
In love with love and in love with life you are full of entertaining plans, but Mercury is asking questions and the Moon is telling you to get real. Start off by checking your financial position. If you have to change your ideas, do. Are love and passion enough to sustain your present relationship?

CAPRICORN
You’ve probably been concentrating on your work far too hard - now is the time to take time out, to allow more lightness into your life, to plan a trip with your boyfriend. Even serious Ms. Capricorn needs a break sometimes. Who is hotter, you or your man? It’d had better be you…

AQUARIUS
Instead of just doing the routine stuff, bring some passion into your creative talents and see how you can make everything more fun and interesting - and make money, too. When you bring this same love and passion into your relationships, who knows where it’ll lead?

PISCES
If you haven’t been invited anywhere this weekend, take the opportunity to invite friends home instead. Just watch the cents - try not to spend more than you can afford. Extravagance could lead to the end of a good relationship.

ARIES
You’ve been sharing your hundreds of ideas with your family and everyone who’ll listen, but now it’s time to get practical and do the work. If this involves renovating or decorating your home space, get everyone else to help. In love, you are more nurturing than usual - he’ll love it.

TAURUS
Your goal posts might keep moving, but when you use your creative talents you’ll find you are on the right track and your finances will start to pick up again. Participating in community activities will enhance your reputation, too. Try not to be too obsessive about your boyfriend - give him space…
]]> Fri, 14 Jun 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/13-june-2013 GEMINI
Taking the lead is one thing, but pushing to have your own way is quite another - especially if your ideas are unconventional or experimental. Just be patient and explain carefully so everyone understands. Being spontaneous will excite your man.

CANCER
If your current way of earning money isn’t really working for you, now is the time to think up an alternative plan. Rather than overreact, take time out to really think things through - then use your energy to get it going. In love, intensity rules.

LEO
Don’t be too quick to get rid of what you think you no longer want, or who isn’t making you happy. Think carefully as you just might only be going through a phase - and will regret being too impulsive. Turn a battle with your boyfriend into a new, sexy move…

VIRGO
You know by now that you are capable of doing whatever you want in life, and to achieve your highest ambitions. Today, take time out to really think before promoting your ideas to colleagues and friends. You can be quite the seductress when you want to be.

LIBRA
You have so much energy, and are ready to try out anything and everything - but what should you do? Talk to friends and associates and see what they think - you don’t have to take their advice, but it will help clarify your own thoughts. Playing hard-to-get? He could well believe you and find someone else…

SCORPIO
At work you’ll benefit from playing attention to the small details, so research and investigate everything carefully before committing yourself. You’ll then find financial problems can be solved easily. Love-wise, you are ready for anything and everything.

SAGITTARIUS
Of course you have hundreds of ideas, but it won’t hurt to listen to other views. In fact, you could pick up information that will be extremely useful. This is a good time to negotiate a new contract or agreement. Passion and love are intense, but highly luxurious.

CAPRICORN
You want to get on with everything, and the more demanding the tasks, the better you enjoy them. Be careful when signing contracts as not everyone will keep their word. Double-check and check again - don’t give in. Love-wise, you expect your boyfriend to suit you, but he has his own ideas.

AQUARIUS
Take time today to make your office space really pleasant to work in - add a plant or a picture if you can’t repaint. You want love, romance and a lot of fun - adventure calls. Just be a bit careful or you could end up in hot water. Socialise with friends from work - an office romance might be an unexpected bonus.

PISCES
Your home and family could take up your time today - everything from buying or selling property to dealing with household repairs. Just don’t neglect your office work! Romance rules your love life, and unrestrained sexual tricks keep your boyfriend very happy.

ARIES
You could become very impatient if no-one else is as enthusiastic as you are. Just go it alone - you have the ideas, the energy; do you need everyone else’s input? This evening, rather than entertaining friends at home go clubbing or to your favourite restaurant. Love is hot.

TAURUS
Finance is still your main concern, and everyone has their own ideas as to how you should deal with it. Keep your sense of humour, use your innate charm and then take time out to decide which is the best way forward for you. Your boyfriend’s energy rubs off on you - wow!
]]> Thu, 13 Jun 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/12-june-2013 GEMINI
You will achieve great success at work today if you use your common sense as well as your intuition which means involving your colleagues and swopping ideas so that you gain even more knowledge - then you won’t feel so frustrated with lack of progress. Laughter makes love-making even better.

CANCER
If finance is behind all your action (or non action!) then you’ll have to do something about it before the situation worsens. If this means taking more drastic measures rather than just hoping and praying the situation will improve, then do it. Love? Take charge here, too.

LEO
Expect the unexpected today – this could be a challenge, but if you think creatively and decisively you’ll find the solution. It’s just not worth getting depressed over it. A colleague might disagree with your solution - compromise only if you know it will work. Lusty love-making will take away your blues.

VIRGO
Use your intuitive faculties today - especially to know what to say to your boyfriend who might be going through equally frustrating times. Your boyfriend might be better at real friendship than he is at romance, so understand where he’s coming from and compromise - as long as the sex is lively and fulfilling.

LIBRA
Colleagues could be more than demanding today, and you’ll have to decide whether they are just being picky or have been asking you to change direction for a while. Use your common sense so that you make the right financial decisions. Your partner might be confrontational - but highly sexual.

SCORPIO
Financial issues are big this month so don’t rush in to anything but investigate all opportunities. Love-wise you need balance between real love and romance - the perfect time to plan or go on a trip together. However, if love is missing then consider going it alone.

SAGITTARIUS
What better time is there to get away together? You do have to face up to any financial difficulties, though. Don’t ignore them but deal with them decisively as well as creatively. Your ego is explosive at the moment - cool it a bit, especially with your boyfriend.

CAPRICORN
It might seem like all work and not much play - especially if your financial situation is not what it seemed. Everything will work out in the end so stop worrying. Venus is bringing some love and passion into your life which will lift your spirits and satisfy your libido.

AQUARIUS
You’d be more than happy just to concentrate on your creative abilities and have some fun but work problems are cropping up that need your input - and probably require a change of heart. Your intuition will guide you regarding financial matters - but common sense will be needed too.

PISCES
Balancing your home life with work is always a problem - change course if necessary so that your life gets easier and you have more fun. The last thing you need is to get depressed or not sleep with worry. You need time out with your boyfriend for unrestrained romance.

ARIES
You can talk all you like, but when you are willing to compromise, even just a bit, your goals become that much easier to reach especially if this impacts on joint finances. Towards your partner, the warmer and more romantic you are, the better the lovemaking.

TAURUS
Welcome the disruptions to your life and welcome the challenges as exciting as this is going to make your future extremely bright. There is the promise of a trip with your boyfriend, though you might have to compromise on where you go. Love-wise, show just how deep your feelings really are.
]]> Wed, 12 Jun 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/11-june-2013 GEMINI
Love-wise, make sure you don’t let jealousy get in the way of an otherwise great love relationship - if you suspect he’s straying, do something to bring back the excitement. Your work is going well, though you’ll probably have to make a rather difficult decision. Think carefully.

CANCER
You need to be totally honest with yourself about your present relationships, both at work and with your boyfriend. You might decide that one of you is not fully committed - would it be best to break off and start again? Don’t rush into anything, but don’t accept second best.

LEO
Haven’t you thought enough? Now is the time for action - and maybe doing something out of your usual box… Yes, you want to be in control, but giving some of it up occasionally can provide an exciting way forward. Let everything flow.

VIRGO
If all else is failing, listen to your intuition, especially regarding your career goals. Colleagues and friends are willing to help you up the success ladder - all you have to do is give your creative talents free rein. Love-wise, it’s all about the pursuit of romantic pleasure.

LIBRA
Think carefully before you make a complete break - use this time to mend any broken bridges. If you do decide to move on, it has to so that you achieve control of all aspects of your life. Let your intuition guide you so your career goals rise a few more notches.

SCORPIO
You are ready to move on, widen your horizons, and have a holiday or adventure somewhere new and exciting… If this includes a new romance or relationship, you’ll have to kick-start yourself. Why are you holding back? These opportunities don’t come that often.

SAGITTARIUS
Unusual intensity rules today especially in matters of finance, whether your own or shared with a partner. Whatever you do, keep that temper in check and avoid overreaction. A loan application could be approved - but remember it has to be repaid. Sex is crazy, but is there an emotional input too?

CAPRICORN
It’s no good just being sweet, understanding and charming - there is work to be done! The velvet glove needs an iron hand if it is all to be finished on time. You’ll probably end up doing most of the work yourself anyway. Tell him what to do to lighten your load and excite your emotions.

AQUARIUS
Love and romance could be serious, and a bit more hard work. If you’ve been overdoing the late nights, you could feel the after effects now so a couple of early nights could be called for. Talking of work, get your head down and use those ideas.

PISCES
Share the joy of love and romance with others - help and give support to your friends and colleagues as well as to your family. They will be more than helpful over an unusual or unexpected financial matter. Love-wise, there are no limitations to your creative ideas.

ARIES
Let your intuition guide you as to how you can take total charge of your life both at home and at work if you want to achieve your career goals. But will you listen? Life is moving at a rapid pace - unexpected, exciting - just like your relationships!

TAURUS
You’ve been focussing on your financial situation, now you have the ideas to put it into practice. You might have to learn new skills - don’t delay. The more serious you are, the easier it’ll be - the opportunities are there, you just have to take them. Love is tender.

If you feel you can’t control everything in your usual way, don’t let it make you feel insecure, but take it as a challenge. Take satisfaction from knowing that your bank balance is looking better and better. A bit of tension in your love life makes for spontaneous and active sex.

CANCER
You believe you could live on love, but your boyfriend seems to demand a lot more which is causing some tension in your sex life. Show empathy, but be honest about what you feel. You want more than you have at present, but aren’t sure how to go about it. Be ready for anything.

LEO
You have your views and are quite vocal about them but everyone else has their own ideas, too. Rather than get upset, listen, learn and see what suits you best. Don’t let a problem at home make you feel insecure - be ready to change your plans. Love-wise, set your instincts free.

VIRGO
It is time to step out of your usual box and have a few adventures, and friends and colleagues could have some really interesting ideas. Go along for the ride with no pre-conceptions - your career goals could become far more ambitious. Is your man fit enough for you?

LIBRA
You’ve expanded your horizons and decided what to do – now, get on with whatever will fulfil your highest ambitions and goals. If this doesn’t include your present boyfriend, tell him sooner rather than later. If he’s on your wavelength, though, it could work.

SCORPIO
You want more than money from your partnership, whether business or romantic - you need space to develop your talents, to experience new cultures and philosophies, expand your mind and explore everything out there. Does your boyfriend want this too? You could be surprised.

SAGITTARIUS
You have your dreams and know exactly what you want, and you expect your boyfriend or business partner to go along with it. Circumstances don’t always play to your tune, however - be ready to change your plans otherwise it could cause emotional turmoil.

CAPRICORN
No matter how sweet, helpful and cooperative you are, not everyone wants your advice - don’t let this stop you! Legal matters and negotiations should go well at work. Love-wise, the more you concentrate on making your boyfriend happy, the more he’ll respond and become your dream man.

AQUARIUS
With the Moon in hard aspect to your personal planet, at work there could be some resistance to your creative suggestions. Don’t let this make you want to throw in the towel and move on - you’ll just have to use your charm to convince them otherwise. Wild sex will de-stress you.

PISCES
At home, your partner or family need pacifying if you’ve been overreacting emotionally. Use your creative talents to show them how much you really care. Being a Pisces, you can’t really promise it won’t happen again - you’re too temperamental for that! Love is wonderfully OTT.

ARIES
Control your impulse to have everything your way - everyone will just get fed up with you. Show you can get along with everyone else and be part of the team. Your home life is important, though you still do need some freedom. Demonstrate rather than explain to your partner that this doesn’t mean you love him less.

TAURUS
You are making progress, albeit slowly. You seem to be dashing around more than before, so take care when driving and keep your car in good condition. Give yourself time between meetings so you don’t feel rushed. Don’t rush into a sexual relationship - be careful.

]]> Mon, 10 Jun 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/9-june-2013 GEMINI
Finance-wise, your confidence brings great results - just be ready to change course, if necessary. Discuss with experts and expect the unexpected. Love-wise it’s all going for you, though you could be quite possessive and moody.

CANCER
Probably a good day to stay in bed, at home - preferably with your favourite boyfriend bringing you tea, sympathy, understanding and a large box of tissues. For once you might not need really innovative sex but comforting cuddling instead.

LEO
You really want to take time out, but everyone seems to be in contact - friends as well as acquaintances. It’s all flattering, but do you need them today? Let your sense-of-humour shine to stop you being too heavy and understanding of their problems. Love-wise, you need control.

VIRGO
A career or work financial problem could raise its head, but there’s probably nothing you can do today, even if contacted by a colleague. Relax and be confident that you can easily sort it out tomorrow. Take time out today, see friends and play sport to ease the tension. Great sex will help, too.

LIBRA
Keep an eye on your tickets and expect travel delays - try as much as you like, you can’t control everything. Just stay positive and it will all be fine in the end. What has happened to your sense of humour? Don’t lose it now! Take a long soothing bath with soft music and light the candles - preferably with your favourite man.

SCORPIO
Passions rise, your libido is buzzing and you’re ready to indulge in erotic sex, but one element is missing - romance! Is this just a careless dangerous moment of madness? Think carefully before doing anything you’ll regret later.

SAGITTARIUS
Love and romance could easily go that step further, but are you ready for commitment? Not just for a week or so, but for longer? Be cautious, especially if it entails setting up home together. Just remember you are one of the most unpredictable signs in the zodiac - it could be costly...

CAPRICORN
You’ve been working hard, probably getting tired and stressed, so now is the time to let some romance and fun into your life. Normally reluctant to change, you have such-self confidence at the moment that it’s easy for you to move with the changing circumstances. He needs patience in love.

AQUARIUS
You could be offered a get-rich-quick scheme - for once it’s good to be indecisive, no matter how interesting the creative it seems. Think very carefully before committing your hard-earned cash? Using your intuition is great - but back it up with hard reality. Do you find arguing with your man exciting or exhausting?

PISCES
You’ve probably been spending a lot of time at home, sorting out domestic issues but now you feel it’s time to be more creative, have more fun, indulge in romance and generally enjoy yourself. What you must avoid at all costs is falling into the self-pity trap. He needs to bring a sense-of-humour to the bedroom.

ARIES
As your ideas are probably more exciting, innovative and inventive than everyone else’s, it should come as no surprise that no-one understands you. Take time out at home, sound out your ideas on your family as you’ll be more tolerant of them! At least your lover will provide the excitement you need.

TAURUS
This just isn’t the day to lend money especially to a stranger. Come up with an innovative idea for them to sort themselves out. You could probably benefit from your own advice, too. Luckily your charm will save the day, but don’t overdo the flattery. Love is cosy, warm and sensual.

]]> Sun, 09 Jun 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/8-june-2013 GEMINI
It’s time to make yourself look and feel really great so get a new hair style, a make-over, go on a shopping spree or buy another pair of heels. If you feel like dying your hair blue, experiment! Not everything will go according to plan, so expect to change course. In love, he has to be your best friend, too.

CANCER
Don’t let a problem in your love life make you depressed or ill - try to go with the flow, but most of all be true to yourself and your own individuality. It won’t be a bad thing to take time out this weekend - chat on the phone, Skype and dream about your next trip overseas.

LEO
Of course not everything will go your way all the time - everyone else has their own ideas, too. Take this time to join groups and organisations, make new friends or even do something really adventurous this weekend. In love, fun is the operative word.

VIRGO
It’s time to promote yourself. This weekend be in touch with your friends, join an organisation or club with people on your wavelength, sign up for online dating or organise a book club - but most of all think of ways of getting your work noticed. It’s time to be mature - and take responsibility in love.

LIBRA
Self-promotion should come easily at the moment - in other words, now is the time to do what you want, study, travel and take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way. It won’t all be easy - expect setbacks along the way, but the end result will be very satisfying. Together you and your man win.

SCORPIO
Be open to new ideas, but only if they are worth it! Do though re-think your finances, especially investments, but don’t make quick decisions. Your sex life looks interesting and very active as the chemistry flies between you and your boyfriend.

SAGITTARIUS
You could meet a man who seems on the surface to be everything you could wish - but think carefully. Realism will be needed, but in the meantime enjoy the fantasy. Be more careful about job offers, especially if they seem too good to be true - they probably are.

CAPRICORN
You are so involved in doing being organised that you could get ill worrying about it all. Take time out this weekend to relax and have a therapy session (anything from massage to shopping to taking your dog for a long walk). Most of all, don’t feel guilty about how much you enjoy your sex life!

AQUARIUS
What do you enjoy doing most? Now is the time to be your most creative - dance, play, paint, write. Luck is with you too. A new romance is on the cards for single Aquarians, but even those of you in a committed relationship will have more fun with your boyfriend. It’s all about pleasure.

PISCES
Your home and domestic affairs take become more important this weekend, and everyone wants to involve you in their affairs as well as interfering in yours. You decide just how much input you’ll both give and take. Love should be solid if you are to commit.

ARIES
Your ideas and input are needed this weekend, most likely by one of your siblings or because you are involved in neighbourhood affairs. There could be travel involved so make sure you car
is in good order. Love-wise, do you make a real fit - or is it just excitingly sexual?

TAURUS
Your income may be undergoing some changes now - maybe a bit unsettling, but for the best in the longer term, so go with it as your dreams will be realised. It might mean economising in the short-term. Love-wise, you are tougher than you make out - have fun!

]]> Sat, 08 Jun 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/7-june-2013 GEMINI
At work, the more stable, diplomatic and sensitive you are to everything going on rather than being pushy, the better - especially over financial matters where you need to calm down before jumping in… You could be very easily bored today, so think up new ways to excite both you and your man.

CANCER
Your thoughts could become more philosophical or less practical - enjoy the fantasy, but don’t count on it! Be ready to change your mind about your current career choice if necessary. The same goes for your love life - he could be just a lovely dream.

LEO
This weekend is all about socialising, playing sport and having some sort of adventure which is your usual pattern. Take the lead, but don’t overreact if someone challenges. Listen as it could be even more fun. Love is inspired, but if it gets confusing, learn the lesson and move on.

VIRGO
Your ambitions are the focus, and you must weigh up the value of going it alone or with a partner. You know what you want, but the feedback you get might not be that clear or even truthful. It is up to you to sort out what is really going on. Sex is great, but you might not be the most faithful…

LIBRA
Your enthusiasm is still flowing in many different directions, but it really is important that you concentrate on your career goals and other ambitions. Make sure you know exactly what your daily tasks are otherwise everyone will be confused. Love is more liberating than emotional.

SCORPIO
It’s hard for you to lighten up at the moment, so don’t even try as you probably won’t get the answer you want. Love-wise, bring more sensitivity and romance into the relationship as you can. Your relationship is highly sexual today, but in the long-term it needs more…

SAGITTARIUS
You can negotiate contracts to suit you, especially financially, though if this is to do with property, just be extra careful as you might get what you want, but decide later it isn’t what you hoped or imagined. Love is tactile, flirtatious and fun.

CAPRICORN
Whatever you do today, being decisive and enthusiastic will bring a winning situation. You might find yourself needing some space away from domestic issues - if so, arrange to meet up with your boyfriend and other close friends. Love-wise, try not to be too controlling.

AQUARIUS
The pursuit of pleasure is even more intense today. As you have great new ideas, today is the one to put them into practical action. If you are feeling a bit cash-strapped, don’t just spend on your credit card but work within your budget - but you can be generous sexually to your man…

PISCES
Your personal planet is moving retrograde from today and nothing will be as it seems for a while, so you have to keep your feet very firmly on the ground. Try not to overreact either as you’re ultra-sensitive and in self-pity mode. Creativity wins in love.

ARIES
If you rush into things without too much thought, you could easily have an accident or be taken in by someone who just isn’t as friendly as you thought. So check, and check again - and then again… Love looks like fun.

TAURUS
Finance is on the agenda, but whatever you do don’t get caught up in a get-rich-scheme, even if offered by a trusted friend. A slow, stable and cautious economy is the way forward, even if does seem a bit dull. Love-wise, stylish glamour rules - but can you afford all these trappings?
]]> Fri, 07 Jun 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/6-june-2013 GEMINI
You’ll have to call on all your powers of diplomacy, even though you’d love to air your views no matter what… Perhaps it would be best to look at your watch and make your excuses as you have an urgent appointment elsewhere! In love, are you on the same wavelength?

CANCER
If you have to come out of your hidey-hole to confront a colleague or friend, make sure you do so in a positive rather than negative way - otherwise your ‘good’ advice will just be ignored. Luckily today you find it easy to turn on your care-taking skills - especially towards your boyfriend.

LEO
Career-wise, it’s probably best to keep a low profile and not let everyone know what you are up to – not yet, anyway. Your love life seems to be filled with dreams and fantasies - if you aren’t ready to put your more adventurous ideas into practice, keep quiet! It’s exciting - or it could be!

VIRGO
Don’t let emotional pressures make you even more critical and bossy than usual - this is a no-no, both at work and with friends. Concentrate instead on your next holiday or business trip abroad, or cultivating new skills to take you further up the success ladder. Do this and your sex life will burst into flames!

LIBRA
Don’t fall into the trap of standing up for colleagues or yourself today - it could easily backfire, no matter how diplomatic you think you are. Think carefully, and wait a couple of days at least… Love is highly sensual, but you’ll probably have to make the first move.

SCORPIO
You are in the mood for some extreme passion, but as you are ultra sensitive to the slightest comment, it might be best to keep them to yourself for tonight. In fact, it might be best to give yourself some time out alone.

SAGITTARIUS
As usual, you know best but, especially at work, don’t push your opinions no matter how passionate you are about them. Keep the passion and intensity for your love life - whatever you get up to just won’t be enough tonight.

CAPRICORN
You have some creative ideas, but pushing them on to colleagues and then descending into sarcasm if they aren’t listening won’t help you get what you want. You’ll have to draw on all your inner diplomatic and cooperative resources. Love? Yes, but maybe not much excitement.

AQUARIUS
You seem even more creative and innovative than usual, but it might be best to listen to everyone else as well as putting your own ideas forward otherwise you’ll find yourself talking to a blank wall. Your love life could be more than usually exotic - a bit kinky, too?

PISCES
Be sensitive to everyone’s opinions today - both at work and especially at home. Perhaps keep your wilder thoughts to yourself? Arguments are a no-no today as you don’t seem sure of what you want, believe or need. Wait until things are clearer. A good sexual workout will help…

ARIES
Be diplomatic, but don’t get drawn into a discussion - it could turn ugly or at the very least your ideas will be ignored. Think about your finances carefully before taking action, too. Fantasies are one thing - but in this case being conservative might be a better option.

TAURUS
Be as sensitive, co-operative and friendly as you can towards everyone else and their views - things are looking better than they have for a while and you don’t want to mess it up by anger or sarcasm. Let your boyfriend provide comforting, warm love-making.

If a problem at work isn’t sorting itself out, it’s time to use your intuition and find a different solution. Take time out to think - but not for too long as your vision could fade! It looks as if your income could rise, too. In love, go with your instincts.

CANCER
You’ve been tuning into your inner self, debating about what to do - now is the time to use all your charm, willingness to co-operate and sound out colleagues and friends to hear what they think. The sooner you start the move, the better… Keep your sense of humour - or the tears will flow.

LEO
You’ve been involved in everyone else’s lives long enough, but now is the time to think about what you want and what you need to do to make your career move forward. Don’t let these problems keep you awake, though - what about taking action? In love, are you keeping something secret?

VIRGO
You’ve been concentrating on your career goals but somehow your ideas aren’t working. Discuss the problem with associates, but use those innovative ideas of yours - and just make it happen! Well, nothing will hold your love life back this evening - it rocks!

LIBRA
With all those ideas now coming to a head, it’s time to make money and let your career really roll. You could be head-hunted or promoted, so just get stuck into whatever is necessary to make success happen for you. Love-wise, despite your beautiful femininity, you can be surprisingly bossy!

SCORPIO
Partnerships, marriage, love, it’s all happening for you now - and could easily take on a foreign touch. You have a few too many ideas, all of them exciting and realistic when you touch them, but the best results come when you concentrate on one or two at a time.

SAGITTARIUS
If you’ve been wallowing in a love affair you need to think about the long-term and take the relationship to a deeper, more committed level. The same goes for your work - tangible financial rewards are needed. Love-wise, you are after the good life - in all ways.

CAPRICORN
Your work takes on a far more fun element now, and your creative juices are starting to flow again. There could be a disagreement with a colleague who just doesn’t understand. Use all your warmth to explain. Love-wise, if you aren’t clear, can you expect him to be?

AQUARIUS
You’ve been having far too much fun! Now is the time to get your head down and find the success you crave. If this leaves you feeling stressed, there are remedies available so consult a health expert. Your sex life could seem a little tame today - but a welcome rest!

PISCES
If your home life is a bit boring and predictable, use your imagination to spice it up. Tune in to your intuition to see the best way forward. This doesn’t just mean a few new cushions, it means the whole domestic scene. You’ll really seem like that fantasy come to life...

ARIES
Tossing around those ideas is all very well - now is the time to get them sorted and see what will make you money rather than being a drain on your resources and making your partner supportive rather than judgmental! If all else fails, at least you have a highly carnal sex life.

TAURUS
It seems that your worries and fears about money could finally be over. You now have the ideas, everyone is giving you the support you need and you are ready to throw yourself into it. Keep your boyfriend on your side - he just might be worried about you. Love is lavish - in all ways…
]]> Wed, 05 Jun 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/4-june-2013 GEMINI
Thank goodness you are able to use your imagination in a logical way and are able to concentrate on what is important - otherwise you’d be drowning in a sea of emotion. The more positive you are, the more you’ll achieve. Love is not the sexiest, but you are sensitive to each other’s feelings.

CANCER
Now is the time to use your present run of luck to show off your latest scheme to business associates, friends and everyone else. You can charm your way in and out of every situation now so use these skills to your best advantage. In love, intimacy rules.

LEO
Use whatever excuse you want, but use time out to get all your facts and figures right, and to know exactly what it is you want. Today it’s all about career - but next week? An old boyfriend could enter your life again - keep your emotions to yourself for now. Once bitten…

VIRGO
Your career should be moving along very well, but now is the time to decide if this is exactly what you want. Join business, social and sports organisations, meet as many new people as possible, and book that holiday abroad. It’s time to widen your horizons. Forget cultured - you need erotic!

LIBRA
Your eyes should be wide open by now - you know there is a big, interesting world out there, so now is the time to let your talents shine and to be noticed. If you want promotion, then promote your ideas and capabilities. Anything can happen - you choose. If you want him, ply him with attention.

SCORPIO
Lighten your intensity by socialising with people from different countries and cultures, engaging in new cultural pursuits and being open to new ideas. Your intuition is very sharp, so use it to know what to do to attract the emotional love you seek. Love is more like an electric shock wave.

SAGITTARIUS
Love means sharing common goals and values. Life is more intense when you are in a relationship – loving and highly sexual, but it sometimes can be quite hard work. Do try to lighten up and bring some new ideas into your romance.

CAPRICORN
It’s less about you at work today and more about letting others have their say - the more co-operative you are, the more others will see things your way. An unexpected event enlivens your home life – maybe it’s not what you’d planned, but it will be fun. Earthy sex satisfies.

AQUARIUS
Your imagination has been working overtime both at work and at home, and now is the time to put it all into practice. This is the perfect time to have a makeover or a massage and then to invite friends home or to go out socialising. Your love life is romantic, but maybe a bit too complex for many men to fathom.

PISCES
Your imagination is stimulated, so put your unusual ideas for making money across to everyone who’ll listen, from your family to colleagues at work - it’s the ideal time to start a new project. Love needs to be easy rather than overly complex.

ARIES
You need to put your ideas across but if they are too complicated, and you’ll have to use all your humour, charm and clear communication skills if you don’t want to be rebuffed or misunderstood. Then you’ll make the money you need. Love is about protective, but innovative sex.

TAURUS
Toss around some of your money-making ideas to colleagues as well as to your siblings and anyone else interested - something could well come out of it that will really help. Love tonight is not for the faint-hearted. Use all your artistic skills to paint the right scene…

Talk to your family and discuss what needs to be bought rather than just going on a spending spree with friends. Be diplomatic today when talking to colleagues - tact will get you further than aggression, so use your intuition to help know what to say. Take the lead in love.

CANCER
Venus in your sign makes you willing to cooperate, especially if it means you’ll get your career up and running as you want it to be. It really is time for action, so use your charm and humour along with looking your best to get everything up and running. Sex needs to be soothing as well as adventurous.

LEO
With so much going on in your life, Venus is saying it’s time to take time out and that you don’t have to accept every invitation or join your friends and colleagues all the time. If you just want time with your favourite boyfriend or even just to dream, that’s fine.

VIRGO
Think about your role in the lives of your friends and colleagues and see if you need to make more of an effort. Everyone counts on you in times of need, but perhaps now it’s just for fun? Let your love life be more social, too - join in more group activities, sports and adventures. It will re-energise your love life.

LIBRA
A public or business event puts you in the spotlight - make sure you are looking your very best, and then ensure that you and your work are seen by those of influence. You could be offered promotion or even head-hunted. Love-wise, romance with a touch of eroticism satisfies.

SCORPIO
A new partnership or business relationship will boost your finances as long as you have common values and goals - it could involve a venture in a foreign country or with someone from a different race or culture. Exciting! What more do you want from love? Think about it.

SAGITTARIUS
However hard it is for you, listen to what everyone else has to say. This will make you highly popular, and you can expect co-operation from colleagues and friends. If there are differences, you’ll need to work towards sorting them out to bring total harmony to the relationship. Sex is intense, but highly romantic.

CAPRICORN
At work you’ll find your colleagues more willing to assist you if you listen to their needs - you’ll also be far more popular. Not everyone will keep their word - a legal contract will help. You seem more serious than usual, expecting commitment from love.

AQUARIUS
You might find yourself involved in an office romance, or at the very least an exciting social event. At work, take time to make your office space as you want it with a fresh coat of paint or a few plants and flowers to keep you upbeat. A beauty treatment will help you relax, too.

PISCES
Just because your home and family are more than usually demanding of your time, it doesn’t mean you should refuse a social invitation or romantic interlude - just tell them what you are going to do. In love, he could be the one.

ARIES
You know exactly what you want, and you have the ideas and the sense of humour to put them across so everyone will listen. Your enjoyment will come from entertaining friends (or your chosen boyfriend) at home, so light the candles and put on some soft music. Who knows where it’ll lead?

TAURUS
You’ve been so involved with worrying about making enough money that it’s time to take time out and participate in other activities, socialise with family and neighbours and get involved in local affairs. This will enhance your standing in the community - and your chances of success. Love is wild.

You are ready for change, to have an adventure and do whatever is necessary to make life better financially. If your friends don’t want to join you, you are quite happy to go it alone. Sweet romance might be missing, but the sex is great.

CANCER
Your career plans are finally coming together, and probably in an entirely new direction. You’ll still need time out alone to finalise the small details and gain the inner strength to cope with a few fears and apprehension. Will he rescue you?

LEO
The more you join together with your friends today, the more fun and enjoyment you’ll have. Think up some fun things to do - plan your next holiday or trip abroad, and in the meantime explore your present environment. As the best of friends, your love life is also romantic.

VIRGO
Whatever you’ve been doing to promote yourself is now working. You are noticed by everyone who counts, so if you’ve anything important to say, now is the time. More ambitious than usual, you need to take control. Love is almost savagely passionate.

LIBRA
Whatever your latest scheme or plan, it’s going ahead with the help of your friends and colleagues - and even strangers. Don’t sit inside - get out and play some sport, travel, socialise or pursue your favourite hobby. Love is wild with possibility and action.

SCORPIO
With your energy being so intense and passionate today, only really fabulous sex will satisfy you. In the meantime, spend time researching and investigating all possibilities before settling on any one scheme.

SAGITTARIUS
All the enthusiasm and energy you put into everything is paying off as your friends, partner and colleagues are all giving you the support you need to get your latest idea off the ground. The trouble is will you still be interested tomorrow? Let him know exactly what will satisfy you today.

CAPRICORN
If there are things to be done around the house, don’t waste time but get on with them. You’ll probably find everyone else will help, too - as long as you don’t give in to angry outbursts. You want your boyfriend to share all aspects of your life and to live it to the full together.

AQUARIUS
You are ready to change your mind and go for something new, exciting and more progressive - you’ll just have to persuade everyone that this will be an improvement not just expediency. Luckily your powers of persuasion are sharp today. In love, be ready for anything.

PISCES
You want to make money - but it has to be fun and amusing, so think out of the box and be ready to change your mind if necessary and move quickly in a new direction. It’s time to get your schemes going - you’ve done enough thinking! Less sweet and demure than usual, you want more.

ARIES
Try talking everyone around into your way of thinking. Persuade with ideas and showing everyone what you are up to. Don’t get angry - patience will be needed for those who are less quick than you are. The way you take the lead will encourage everyone to follow. Love is all about urgent sex.

TAURUS
Don’t give up now - you are on the verge of a financial breakthrough as long as you are willing to do everything necessary. Be ready to change course - stubbornness will work against your progress. Unwise spending at this crucial time is a no-no, too. Lust not love will satisfy.

With Mars moving into your own sign you’ll be feeling full of energy, as well as interested in and questioning everything. Just don’t be overly opinionated - even if you are right. It’s necessary for you to keep everyone on your side, and you’re more demanding than you realise.

CANCER
Something you did or said could catch up with you, so be ready with the excuses or regrets! You’ll accomplish far more by working alone than with others for the next few weeks in order to gain a deeper understanding of everything that’s going on. Sex is an escape from stress - but you must give, too.

LEO
Try not to overload yourself with too much or you’ll accomplish nothing - work with colleagues and friends rather than on your own, and be part of a team. This is a good time to de-clutter your life so get rid of unwanted possessions and outmoded ideas and start afresh. Lovemaking is intense, and totally unrestrained.

VIRGO
This isn’t the time to be a wallflower - self-promotion and doing whatever is necessary to get noticed are important now. You might not get paid for this extra work, but it’ll be worth it in the long run. Sharing transport is important, too, but be careful when on the road. Use your persuasive powers when it comes to love.

LIBRA
The problem will be in deciding on what to do next - travel, further education, writing, publishing are all of interest, but too many options makes it almost impossible for you to decide. Stop and think, and it will all go according to plan. You can’t make him change, however hard you try…

SCORPIO
You don’t have to be too stubborn, demanding or intense - you have the support of those who count anyway. It won’t hurt though to concentrate on the finances of any scheme. Your partner’s financial contribution is vital to whatever project you are involved with. Today your dreams are satisfied.

SAGITTARIUS
Your enthusiasm should be used for all your friendships and alliances, and how best you can co-operate with everyone so you can feed off their inspiration. You’ll accomplish far more when working as part of a team or with your partner. Your sex appeal is even stronger - can he cope with you today?

CAPRICORN
Your competitive energy is inspired by Mars moving into Gemini - but this could make you do something you regret later so think before you act. Use up any spare energy in exercise or sport - but even so don’t go OTT. Be creative in your lovemaking.

AQUARIUS
Let those creative juices flow at work. Your enthusiasm will spill over to your colleagues, too. Mainly, be creative for your own pleasure - use your imagination both at work and when relaxing. Your love life will be equally inspired.

PISCES
Anything to do with your domestic arrangements, family, home and possessions will be the centre of your inspiration for the next few weeks, so start renovating, decorating, buying, selling or moving. Anything and everything is possible - and fulfilling! Love is emotional.

ARIES
There is no stopping you now - you have so many of your own ideas, and are swamped with information from every source that it’ll be hard even for you to make a decision. The trouble will be if you start too many projects and finish none of them. You don’t seem sure of what you want in love.

TAURUS
It’s time to organise your finances, take action to re-pay any money owed and do what has to be done to get or keep out of debt. Your energy levels are high - use it to meet your priorities. A male could be a source of help. Love is playful, but highly active - just as you like it.

As Mercury moves into Cancer today you’ll find it easier to discuss financial matters as well as other important issues. Don’t hold back with your ideas - they could make you a lot of money and add to your status at work. For once you are ready to listen to what your boyfriend has to say - a turn-on!

CANCER
Concentrate now on what you need to do to fulfil your potential - everything from your appearance to how you speak and come across to everyone and how you can impress those who count. Your intuition is sharp, so use it to know when you are overreacting. Love is highly emotional and intense.

LEO
Mercury moves into Cancer today, making it important that you keep your ideas and thoughts to yourself. You could hear something of importance - whatever you do, don’t gossip or tell anyone as it could be highly useful to your success. You seem more romantic and emotional than usual.

VIRGO
Your personal planet, Mercury, moves into Cancer today, encouraging you to treat your colleagues and friends as part of your family as you listen to their problems and give advice. Group discussions work well, so set up meetings. Do you have any energy left for love?

LIBRA
Your mind is always sharp, but if you express your ideas at work in a more nurturing way and are willing to listen too, you’ll get the attention of your associates. You could be offered promotion or even head-hunted, and your goals starting to come true. Love is unusually emotional and heavy.

SCORPIO
At last you start to lighten up a bit - you are even more emotional, but you find time for friends and family who live abroad, maybe travelling to see them or at the very least being in contact. Your intuition is sharp so you’ll know when to keep quiet and when to show your feelings.

SAGITTARIUS
Now is the time to sit back and assess whether you are really utilising all your skills and talents - and how best to get the most out of them. You need more than talk to get you where you want to be - to move to the next level, you need to be resourceful. In love, time out is needed.

CAPRICORN
The right people are coming into your life now, at just the right time, to help with whatever situation you are dealing with from health to work. Don’t be proud - accept any offer of help, co-operation and negotiate favourable financial terms, too. You need tender intimacy rather than erotic sex tonight.

AQUARIUS
You have the creative ideas - now is the time to put these into practice, and to get organized and accomplish your goals. This is also a good time to investigate which health club to attend, and what you can do to improve your health and fitness levels. Great sex is an amazing workout.

PISCES
Arrange to get away this weekend with your boyfriend - or at least discuss what you can do to take your mind off your work for a change. You know what you want, but does he agree? Share your inspiration. You’ll have to do some fast talking if you’d already planned a weekend at home.

ARIES
You could find that your plans are suddenly changing so don’t get upset if a family trip has to be postponed, or friends unexpectedly turn up for supper - you can always order a couple of pizzas… Just make a plan! Let your boyfriend provide the comfort you crave.

TAURUS
No longer content to listen to financial advice, now is the time for action, to get your hands dirty and do whatever is necessary to achieve your goals. Arrange meetings, take a trip if necessary but make your ideas and opinions known. Make love fun, and let your sense of humour win.

The Moon, Venus and Jupiter are all joining to bring love and romance into your life. This spills over into other areas too, so you find your workmates supportive, positive and mutually co-operative. Remember, big a love ‘high’ often ends in a deep ‘low’.

CANCER
Spend time thinking about what you really want- you are up for change, but it takes planning. Your body also needs some thought - a detox or a new exercise regime would help keep you in shape. You expect your man to be on your wavelength in every way, but you might be a bit too wild today.

LEO
Everything you do will be beneficial today - as long as you don’t go totally OTT! The Moon, Venus and Jupiter encourage you to play a bigger role than usual in the life of your friends and colleagues, but what do they think? Aim for balance! Your warmth and love are contagious - he’ll reciprocate.

VIRGO
Your career is on a high today, but highs are often followed by lows so try to keep your life on an even keel without losing your optimism or co-operative efforts. Certainly the future looks good. Your love life is surprisingly erotic; be honest about your feelings without getting angry.

LIBRA
There is a lot going on today, and you might find it hard to keep track of everything that needs to be done. Do your best, enlist the help of colleagues, and whatever you do, don’t get angry if something goes wrong. Just smile and sort it out. You’ll be glad of an early night - with your favourite man, of course.

SCORPIO
Despite the good aspects of the Moon, Venus and Jupiter, today is all a bit intense and heavy, even if it is successful. The more co-operative you are, the easier it will be to make the emotional adjustments you need. Your ambition combined with your passion makes for interesting lovemaking.

SAGITTARIUS
Your personal planet, Jupiter, in good aspect to both Venus and the Moon, make this a successful day, though would be even better if you don’t actually make the decisions today, but wait a few days. You demand attention from your boyfriend - and you’ll get it, too.

CAPRICORN
Your business and financial acumen work well today, and you can easily pull off a deal or contract so be ready to take on the challenge. Your health looks good, and this is a great time for that new hairstyle or make-over to make you feel absolutely wonderful. Love is a sexy battle.

AQUARIUS
Success at everything you do today will have a creative element - think out of the box, give your latest ideas that innovative touch and remain optimistic that everyone will agree. They will! Take time out to have some fun too as your love life needs a dash of romance - it’s up to you.

PISCES
The more new experiences you have the happier you’ll be - it’s time to start a new career, maybe from home, and perhaps to take up further study. Your domestic life looks happier, too - this could be a good time to buy or sell property. Love-wise, you are less emotional than usual, but still very sexy.

ARIES
The more open you are to listening to what others have to say, to hear their ideas as well as throw your own around, will make you even more successful. Your colleagues will love you, too! Sex looks good, but you seem on a different wavelength to your boyfriend.

TAURUS
The biggest problem for you today will be in trying not to be extravagant and spend all your money on every luxury you want. You are probably earning more, but you need to leave your credit card at home. Great sex won’t make up for differences of opinion - be open to his ideas.
]]> Thu, 30 May 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/29-may-2013 GEMINI
Today you feel you can achieve everything you set out to do. Your love life is blossoming, too. Tonight a few little worries could creep in, though, even keeping you awake. Just get more organized at work, and visit your doctor or dentist if any health problems crop up. Stop worrying!

CANCER
Although you are more worried about others than yourself today, as if you are carrying all the affairs of the world, it is important that you look after your own health, too, so don’t feel guilty if you want some fun. Are you living your ideal life? What does your boyfriend think?

LEO
You could be feeling a bit disappointed with your domestic life and relationships. Are your expectations just too high? You have influence over your friends and your boyfriend, so it’s up to you to make your life as you want it to be. Be spontaneous.

VIRGO
Your daily work and career responsibilities take up your time, and your reputation goes up rather than down. Naturally there are problems - just remember that if one way is blocked it’s up to you to find another path. New, passionate ideas add light to your sex life.

LIBRA
Love and romance are boosted by some crazy, but intensely passionate ideas - if in doubt, it would probably be worth taking a chance. It’s certainly an interesting time, and even if it doesn’t work, your personal growth will soar.

SCORPIO
It is no good blaming anyone else - it’s time to take responsibility for yourself. If you associate with the right people, your future will soar. If you are extravagant, don’t pay your debts or make unwise decisions, you’ll regret it later. Luckily your latest love liaison is highly passionate - just as you enjoy it.

SAGITTARIUS
Show yourself as the loving, funny, totally OTT person you often are, and keep your secret fears and worries to yourself. When you deal with them privately, without making an outward fuss, then you’ll gain great inner strength. Love? There are, as usual, no limits to your love life. Enjoy!

CAPRICORN
You can make huge strides towards your financial goals through your work today - as long as you keep track of your relationships. Are the people you mix with, friends, associates, really on your side? Are they as committed to you as you are to them? As in your love life, you need quality, not quantity.

AQUARIUS
You know what you want, are in the mood for the good life - ready to take everything that life has to offer and eager to take responsibility for yourself and everyone else. This could upset others though - so keep yourself to yourself? Your boyfriend will be happy, with all eyes on boosting his goals.

PISCES
If your travel plans have to be delayed or postponed, don’t fret - your domestic life could do with you at home for a while. Take time out from all your responsibilities - it will re-charge your batteries, give you breathing space, ready for the next important events. Love is unusually erotic.

ARIES
Your enthusiasm for everything you do grows by the minute, and everything is a bit OTT. The real trick though is to be slow down a bit, be extremely responsible and really understand everything you are doing instead of skimming over the small print.

TAURUS
Jupiter is offering the opportunities to get your career and finance on track but if you really want everyone to co-operate with you, help you succeed, you’ll have to accept the responsibilities that go with it. This is the time for you to succeed - so go for it with charm and determination. Love is a little tense.
]]> Wed, 29 May 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/28-may-2013 GEMINI
Love-wise, stop looking for an ulterior motive if your boyfriend does something unusually romantic - he probably just wants you to demonstrate your love. You can do and be anything now, so don’t let minor irritations hold you back.

CANCER
Everyone is willing to help you now, even from those outside your usual circle of support. But you do have to make the first move to be in contact. The more generous you are with your time as well as money to those who need assistance, the more you’ll receive in return. Love is chaotic, but exciting.

LEO
You might not see the results today, but the more you participate in business associations and organisations rather than working on your own the quicker you’ll succeed. Use this energy to make new friends and cement relations with colleagues. Always demanding, sex needs to be just a little bit naughty.

VIRGO
When you get your daily responsibilities organised your career prospects improve too, and with such newfound optimism you know you can do anything and achieve every ambition. A financial bonus could come in quite an unexpected way, too. Is he the forbidden fruit that excites?

LIBRA
With so many opportunities opening up, your creative talents cannot be held in check. The difficulty will be in getting them organised so that you can realise their full potential. A joint enterprise might work better than going it alone - think carefully. Sex is spontaneous, but might lack emotion.

SCORPIO
There will be no holding you back as long as you do all the research and gather all the information first. Joint ventures and partnerships are still very well starred, but don’t rush into marriage unless you are absolutely sure he is the right one. Try out your latest sexual ideas and you’ll both be satisfied.

SAGITTARIUS
Everything you do impresses, so there is no need to exaggerate or boast. Everything to do with negotiating contracts, legal matters or just asking for help is well starred, so there is no excuse for you not to succeed. When it comes to love and marriage, this could be it. Well, for now, anyway.

CAPRICORN
The potential is there for you to have whatever you want, from further training to widening your mind through travel. Just decide and go for it. The potential is there for you to earn more money, too. Get your facts and figures ready before you put your proposals out. Stop talking, and make love!

AQUARIUS
The main thing to watch today is your capacity for over-indulgence as you don’t seem interested in limits in anything you do. This is great for your creative talents, but not so hot for your figure. Excess alcohol will also dent your bank balance. Your social life is more important than sex tonight.

PISCES
Your home and family need your love and support. Take time out this evening to re-charge your batteries, but also to consider a new business venture - especially one that you could work from home or to make extra cash in the evenings. You are ready for some more erotic, sexual moves tonight.

ARIES
The happy, confident way you talk to everyone today is infectious - everyone listens and is ready to co-operate with you in return, so toss around your latest money-making ideas knowing that you can achieve it all. Although the sex will be great, there doesn’t seem to be much feeling tonight.

TAURUS
You should see a huge upturn in your financial situation as your career ambitions come together. Be decisive, but remember that there is more to your life than just money. You can have it all now - love, money, a career as well as a really sweet, caring man.
]]> Tue, 28 May 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/27-may-2013 GEMINI
If you are going to achieve anything, today is the day! You are unique and powerful, so show this positive attitude to let everyone know what you are about. Neptune might be clouding which direction you should take - follow your passion and your dreams will come true. In love you might leave him behind.

CANCER
Your intuition is stronger than usual, so use it tell you when to ask for a salary raise or promotion and when to hold back. The more co-operative and sharing you are, the easier it’ll be to get what you want. Your boyfriend will be there for you today - if love is really strong.

LEO
Feeling a bit stressed because you haven’t heard from a certain friend for a while? Or is one of your colleagues behaving in a cold manner? Don’t hold back - get in contact and talk! It’s a good time to discuss business strategy, too. Gossip will only cause trouble - even with your boyfriend.

VIRGO
It’s action time at work - use those creative talents and see how your reputation soars. Don’t hold back - let everyone know what you think, feel and can do. Everyone is watching, so make sure you look and act the part. Romance is in the air, too. What a day!

LIBRA
Your luck is changing - at last you can see yourself reaching your goals whatever they are, from your own personal growth to travelling the world. Even a small win on the lottery could be yours. Plan that holiday with your favourite boyfriend - or even better on your own!

SCORPIO
You will start to see your assets growing - investments could soar, you are given the mortgage or other loan you need. A joint venture or marriage will be beneficial to both of you, so give it serious thought, but don’t rush in too quickly as it must be forever.

SAGITTARIUS
It seems that no-one can refuse you anything today. Instead of becoming even more big-headed, use your contacts to bring you the job, career move or financial boost you need. Your love life seems to be equally enjoyable, and nothing can stop your sexual enjoyment.

CAPRICORN
Now is the time to go after that perfect job or start a work project - don’t let anything or anyone hold you back. Use your creative talents or ask advice from someone else to help make everything clear while you get organised. You have all the time in the world for love.

AQUARIUS
Don’t waste today’s wonderful creative energy! Success is yours, but you need to think seriously about what it is you actually want to achieve rather than just rushing after your next innovative idea as a completely different one will quickly follow.

PISCES
A new venture or project, maybe from home, could be a great success - but do discuss with friends and professional who have already been there so you don’t rush in with rose-tinted specs. Your domestic life could be undergoing some changes.

ARIES
You look good, your judgment is sound and you have all the positive confidence you need - so don’t wait but set up meetings, get in contact with those who matter and grab all the career opportunities that come your way. All your fantasies could be realised today - whether sexual or in life!

TAURUS
Everything and everyone are on your side today so don’t hold back. You don’t need to exaggerate anything - just be your beautiful, hard-working and talented self! The opportunities are there, so let your confidence shine, and you’ll have it all. Love is the best…
]]> Mon, 27 May 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/26-may-2013 GEMINI
Think about your finances, especially if you have shared resources or a joint account. Are your investments making enough money? When you know exactly what is happening, you’ll be able to work out what to do for the best. Love-wise, think up ways of bringing more excitement into your life.

CANCER
With the focus on relationships, what you do and how you behave will be the importance issues. You can’t always blame everyone else! If your ideas are too unrealistic, no matter how much you want them, they won’t lead anywhere. Only someone on your soul-level will do, though great sex is fun.

LEO
You don’t have to accept any of your well-meaning friends’ advice - in fact, as long as you stay independent, keeping to your own high principles and resourcefulness, you’ll be fine. Try not to be too possessive - it will only make him run.

VIRGO
It’ll be hard for you to live up to others’ expectations - perhaps it’d be best to not even try. Just quietly be true to yourself. If they don’t like it, tough! Stay positive and everyone else will follow your lead. Sex-wise, don’t expect fireworks - just cosy loving.

LIBRA
Try not to feel uncertain about what you are doing - whether at home or to do with your work. Be as clear as possible but don’t fret about it, just get on and do what you can. You need your boyfriend to be as cultured and talented as you, and lovemaking could take a backseat tonight.

SCORPIO
The key to today is to appreciate everything you do, use your sense of humour no matter how wicked it is, and enjoy everything that comes along. You and your boyfriend don’t have to agree on everything, but your mutual interest in the same things works a treat. Messy sex suits…

SAGITTARIUS
Don’t think everything is as it should be - Neptune is advising caution, to take it slowly and use your intuition, but coupled with common sense, especially in any matters to do with your home or family. If you overreact it’ll only make matters worse. Sex-wise, anything goes.

CAPRICORN
The way to cope today is to work slowly, be as practical as you can be and take advice from experts. If you start telling everyone else what to do, it will only backfire, and the situation will get worse. Don’t try to rush your boyfriend into a decision - take your time until you are absolutely sure yourself.

AQUARIUS
Everyone has a lot to say, and there is great financial advice coming your way - but stop, think and ask yourself if all this info is really correct, if it is really what you need. Sift through it all and then investigate it all again as a lot of it is just Neptune confusing the situation. Love-wise, don’t talk - take action!

PISCES
Self-pity is waiting if you doubt yourself and your decisions. The trouble is it will be hard to know what is actually real and what is just illusion. Don’t even try! Tomorrow everything will be much clearer, so in the meantime just enjoy yourself with friends, and let your boyfriend satisfy your sexual needs.

ARIES
As it is so hard to really understand what is going on, don’t even try - just relax and go with the flow. This would be a good day to get on the computer and catch up with your social networking and chatting to friends. Look after your car - you don’t want it to break down.
Love is more complicated, even for you…

TAURUS
It might be better to stick with your old reliable friends today as a new acquaintance might not be all he/she makes out. Certainly this isn’t the time for breaking off with an old boyfriend for someone you’ve just met. Stability is everything today.

The Eclipse of the Moon emphasises all your relationships from business to love. Despite your spirit of compromise, there is still a lack of clarity and nothing is quite what it seems. Don’t give up your ideas - just work on them quietly by yourself. Sexual experiments will excite.

CANCER
Take it easy today and for the next few days as the eclipse of the Moon always affects you strongly. Relax, and the answer to a problem will suddenly flood your mind stopping you worrying about the future. Life is exhausting today - you need emotional support as well as erotic sex.

LEO
As no-one else seems to want to take control, the sooner you take on the responsibility, the better. On the other hand, if everything is a total muddle, you might just decide to move on… Whatever, be yourself. Friendship is important - with colleagues, too, but mostly with your lover.

VIRGO
Career issues are the key due to this lunar eclipse - try not to clash with those in control. The same goes for your parents - it won’t help to antagonise them. At the same time, it doesn’t mean you can be walked on. Just ensure that you don’t damage your good reputation. Love is inconsistent.

LIBRA
The lunar eclipse is, unusually, bringing a lightness of spirit, but it does mean that you probably won’t think about the important issues just at the moment. Further education or an overseas trip is probably in the planning stage. Today, watch your driving. There are no limits in bed.

SCORPIO
The lunar eclipse might touch on matters to do with death, like a legacy or a will, but more probably bring joint or shared finances to a head. This is the ideal time to start talks, but don’t finalise anything for another few days. Your love relationship could reach the next level of intimacy - make it fun.

SAGITTARIUS
Being too dogmatic or bossy is not an option during a lunar eclipse - it will get you nowhere fast… In fact, it would have the opposite effect at work and especially in matters to do with love. The last thing you need is for him to give you sack…

CAPRICORN
Being organised and having a strict routine at work is one thing - telling your colleagues how to run their lives is quite another during this lunar eclipse. Changes are inevitable, so wait with the advice. If he has become just a habit, do something to revitalise the relationship…

AQUARIUS
Creative projects should come to a spectacular finish now, or at least you feel energized enough to get on with them. Check your finances - there could be some errors. Whatever happens, don’t believe everything is fine - check it for yourself. Love should be about a good partnership.

PISCES
With both your home and your career energized by today’s lunar eclipse, nothing seems to be going according to plan. Uncertainty and confusion reign, but as you want your dreams and fantasies to be realised, it’s vital you get clarity. It’s best to wait a few days at least before making a decision. Your intuition rules.

ARIES
Watch out for problems with communication equipment, from your car to your computer or cell phone… A sibling could initiate an argument or disagreement - don’t get involved, even if it means taking a short trip to avoid it. Watch out for accidents, especially on the road. You just can’t refuse love.

TAURUS
Financial matters are the key to this lunar eclipse. Rushing ahead is just not a clever option - think very carefully, get as much clarity as you can from independent experts rather than friends or colleagues. Sharing the same values is as important as great sex.
]]> Sat, 25 May 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/24-may-2013 GEMINI
Relationships are the key issue as the Moon moves into your love house. This is just as important at work as it is in your personal life - be ready to compromise when necessary. Combine your creative talents with common sense at work and you’ll soar. In love, expect liberating fun.

CANCER
Use your intuition to help you decide what to do next - full of ideas, you could be longing to get away from your present situation. Meanwhile, keep to a steady routine in order to keep from getting stressed. You need facts rather than creative answers. Love is explosive.

LEO
As well as just having a great time, you now realise that your career dreams and fantasies are finally becoming reality - or at the very least you have the support of your family and others to help you make the right decisions. Love is luxurious as long as you don’t overspend!

VIRGO
You’ve been concentrating on your career - now your domestic life is demanding equal status! Think up ways of satisfying the needs of your family and your boyfriend - a delicate balancing act? Get it right and you’ll find your love life reaches erotic heights you’d never even imagined.

LIBRA
You’ve been dreaming and planning changes to your life which could include further study or travel abroad. Now it seems there are things closer to home that need to be sorted, so expect some shorter journeys, meetings especially if finance is involved. Love is more relaxed than usual.

SCORPIO
Financial matters are the key today - not just business or joint ventures, but your own personal money. You have some new, creative ideas that will actually work, but you need self- discipline to make it happen. Luck is spilling onto you today. In love, you give and take it all.

SAGITTARIUS
Do you need to get your domestic life sorted? Now is the time to do it, especially if there is a boyfriend involved - or you are ready to take a relationship to the next level of commitment? Perhaps you need to re-assess the whole situation. In the meantime, enjoy the totally revitalizing sex.

CAPRICORN
If you’ve been concentrating on the routine and on the daily grind, now is the time to think a bit bigger and to let your imagination soar. Talk to everyone and discuss your ideas with colleagues and friends - don’t limit yourself. Don’t use your boyfriend - even if he does offer really amazing sex.

AQUARIUS
Your creative projects have all been to make you happy, but now there is the bigger picture to be taken into account. Chances are you’ll be highly successful, both career and finance-wise, but you’ll have to compromise. You are in highly sexual mode today, and success is a huge turn-on.

PISCES
If you’ve been giving too much attention to your domestic life to the detriment of your career, now is the time for more balance. Rather than getting angry with people who have different ideas, co-operation will get your further. In love? Don’t fuss, just laugh and enjoy.

ARIES
It’s time to widen your perspective and book that holiday overseas instead of locally, or learn new skills instead of coping with what you know. Don’t limit yourself, but let your dreams and fantasies show you the way forward. There are no limits - to anything…

TAURUS
Your financial needs have been important all month - and now the balance between your needs and those of your business circle is just about right. Listen to your intuition to help you make meaningful decisions. Love is more about sexual addiction.

You know exactly what you want, but control the impulse to rush straight off or into your next project and get everyone on to your side. This way you’ll save a lot of energy and will achieve success quicker than you thought possible. You are in a dark mood tonight - it’s fantasy time.

CANCER
Think creatively, but don’t act without investigation, research and thought. Discussions with associates and friends could help, too - but if you can, tune in to your intuition which is far sharper than usual at the moment. Love has a romantic feel to it - sensitivity rules.

LEO
Domestic and family matters are taking up your time - and friends will have to take second place. The quality of your relationships is vital so you need to be fully connected. Business associates are supporting your career goals but this could cause stress between you and your boyfriend.

VIRGO
You could be scattering your energy along with your ideas and suggestions to everyone who’ll listen. Actually, you’ll achieve more if you can direct your energy to one idea or one project at a time. A sibling needs your advice, or you need theirs. Relationships are loving and warm, but complex.

LIBRA
The Sun is certainly telling you there are no limits to what you can do, where you can go and what you can achieve, but today your focus is on your finances, and worrying whether you can afford to do it all. Prioritise! Who know where it will all end? Jealousy could end a relationship – beware.

SCORPIO
This month is all about financial matters - if you need a loan to start a business partnership, a joint venture then get your plans, facts and figures together. You need to be financially independent, though - think very carefully before you sign any contracts. You might be just a bit too sexual this evening - for anyone.

SAGITTARIUS
You need to look at how dominant, strong and forceful you are when with colleagues, associates or friends, and whether your attitude is putting others off… If you look at your current relationships from a totally selfish point of view, you’ll come off worse in the end. Think about it.

CAPRICORN
Your relationship with colleagues and business associates is under the spotlight today - they can help you achieve everything you want or hamper your progress. Mars is urging you to use charm and even flattery to bring everyone onto your side. Make love, not war…

AQUARIUS
Control your impulses at work today to put across one of your zaniest, most creative ideas if not everyone is ready. Work slowly, using persuasion rather than a pushy approach and make sure you’ve researched so you know all possible answers. Your love life should be unusually romantic as well as sexual.

PISCES
Your role in everyone’s life today, including that of strangers, is to make them feel 6part of the family. This is great, but doesn’t mean you have to give them everything including a bed. Use your intuition to sort out who is worthy and who isn’t. A new sexual relationship might seem like destiny - but is it?

ARIES
Financial and money issues need to be brought out into the air and discussed rather than brushed under the carpet especially if a partner is involved. Your intuition is strong, so control your emotions and find a way forward. Trust - it will come right! Sex is an addiction rather than romantic.

TAURUS
You should be making great financial progress at the moment as Mars is actively working on your behalf and the Moon is making it easy for you to talk to those who matter. Relax, go with the flow and turn on your famous charm. Love is all about togetherness.

The Sun has moved into your own sign, and it’s time to take pride in yourself and the way you get on with everyone. You don’t have to be too intense - just relax and let it happen. Show your feelings, and be nurturing, especially towards your boyfriend. Act - don’t just talk!

CANCER
So, what do you really want? Not what you tell or show, but deep inside. Feelings are running high, career-wise, there are changes going on, and you aren’t sure of what you feel. Take time out to re-charge your inner batteries and keep healthy. In love you need your space.

LEO
You find it easy to talk to your associates at work today and get your career on track exactly as you want. However this could mean your travel or other plans will have to be put on the back-burner. Instead of letting this stress you, think of what you are gaining instead. Love is energetic.

VIRGO
Career-wise, it’s a good time to let everyone know what you feel. Be honest, but make sure every remark is made with affection rather than criticism if you want their support. Your finances are a bit unstable, so delay making decisions today. Love is intense, so ensure you stay friends.

LIBRA
Be competitive and give your opinions, but try not to make any negative remarks or gossip as it will only work against you in the end. Go for further education to hone your skills now and plan that overseas trip you’ve been looking forward to - with or without your boyfriend.

SCORPIO
Focus your energy and do what has to be done in as sufficient a way as possible, but try to keep yourself light and friendly otherwise your intensity will become just too much, not only for yourself but for everyone else too. Love is hot.

SAGITTARIUS
You can easily persuade everyone to give you the support you need today. The downside is that your social life could be costing you far more than you can afford, and not everyone will appreciate your unorthodox approach. You want it all in love - does he?

CAPRICORN
Work and career issues will keep your mind off any emotional or domestic problems happening at home. Stick to a regular regime, be as organised as possible and use your creative talents. Tell your boyfriend how great he is, and then expect mega sex!

AQUARIUS
The Sun moving into Gemini makes you very creative and wanting to do whatever you want - avoid over-indulgence though as there is the danger of an accident. Take care, especially when travelling. Romance rules, leaving everyone else with the broken heart when you
move on.

PISCES
Not only emotional attachments are vulnerable - your finances could also be a cause for concern. Stay calm - just don’t make important decisions today without consultation. The focus is now on your domestic situation - family discussions will help your success. Love- making should be slow, sensitive and sleepy.

ARIES
You’ll be rushing from one idea and one meeting to another, showering love and affection as you make as much money as you can. Your career seems a bit intense and open to disruption. It’s exciting but challenging. In love, don’t take your aggression out on your boyfriend.

TAURUS
Your financial situation is the focus, and it’s time to take action and to make your work your priority as luck is with you now. Someone from a different culture or country could come into your life - don’t become too fanatical or follow too blindly.
]]> Tue, 21 May 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/22-may-2013 GEMINI
With your newfound confidence today your work projects should go very well, so talk to those concerned and they’ll listen, as long as you are prepared to compromise, too. Don’t expect too much too soon, though. Your health needs watching, so keep to a regular routine. Boring sex is not an option.

CANCER
You think you know exactly what you want and need, but so does everyone else and they are very prepared to tell you. Try not to overreact - withdraw slightly rather than getting angry and wondering if anything they say has value. You could be surprised. You expect your boyfriend to be ultra-sensitive to your needs.

LEO
You want to go after your career goals, but your associates might have something interesting to say which means a change of direction, stopping you in your tracks. Think carefully before committing yourself one way or the other. You might look girlish, but you are all passion tonight.

VIRGO
Career ideas come thick and fast, but this doesn’t mean you have to go along with them. Be positive, but clear and take your time deciding on the best option rather than feeling you are forced into making a decision. Love-wise, you don’t need to be in control all the time.

LIBRA
If you overreact over a financial issue, especially if you are in the mood to take a risk, you can expect someone to answer you back - and you don’t really want to start an argument? Rather keep quiet - for today at least. Love is better than even you hoped.

SCORPIO
Today is a pretty intense day - good for research and investigation rather than bossing anyone else around. Today is good for collecting money owed and paying your bills. The more resourceful you are at the moment, the better. Passion rules, but can he handle it?

SAGITTARIUS
You work better as part of a team, sharing responsibilities rather than working alone. Negotiating contracts would work out well for you today as you get on well with everyone. Ask for advice and opinions - everyone loves giving them, and it makes you seem more approachable. In sex, anything goes…

CAPRICORN
Try not to be Ms Bossy boots at work today - not everyone wants your opinion, no matter how creative your thinking might be. Best to keep quiet and show by example…If you do give your opinion, say it with warmth and affection. Even your love life could be a bit snappy.

AQUARIUS
Your appetite for everything is totally OTT, and pure self-indulgence is called for now. Just try not to be too dramatic if anyone disagrees with you - use your sense of humour and zany imagination to keep everyone at work on your side. In the mood for raw sex?

PISCES
Your home and family life are the focus these next few weeks, but today your mind is thinking of your next trip or holiday abroad. You do have to make the effort to concentrate at work, too, if you don’t want others to take advantage of your ideas. Love is healing.

ARIES
You veer between sharing your many ideas and keeping them to yourself in a secretive, intense way. You’ll probably have more luck if you let others in on your ideas, no matter how OTT or inventive they are. There is only one word for your love life – erotic.

TAURUS
The way for you to reach your financial goals is to share the same values and priorities, both at work and with your boyfriend. When this happens, you can reach the stars as well - and the stars are working in your favour at the moment. Love is electric.
]]> Wed, 22 May 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/29-may-2013 TAURUS
If your intuition keeps goading you into doing something a bit radical, take comfort in your daily home routine - exercise and a healthy diet will help, too. But don’t ignore these signs - they could liven up your whole life for the better. Not that you can improve on your present erotic sex life… or can you?

GEMINI
As your creative ideas about what you want and what makes you happy change by the minute, you certainly aren’t going to listen to advice whether from friends or colleagues. As long as you balance what you want to do with your responsibilities, everyone is happy. Your sex life is liberating, too.

CANCER
This is the day for some quiet time, preferably at home, to think things through, to calm your mind and realise that having no fun in your life is as bad as over-indulgence. Be brave and discuss your latest innovative ideas with your co-workers. In love you are ready for anything today.

LEO
Your reactions are quick at work today, and you are quite ready to make the decisions necessary - just don’t lash out at colleagues who need more time and who aren’t sure if you are just after your own personal goals. Love is fun, but perhaps lacking in emotional depth.

VIRGO
You thrive on telling everyone at work your latest, rather radical and inventive ways of earning more money and as you are so passionate about them, no-one will dare to disagree even if they do think you are too opinionated. Think up new ways to excite.

LIBRA
Try not to become frustrated or even aggressive because nothing is going according to your plans. Decide which is more important - that you follow your own personal goals or deal with your responsibilities first. Even your love life seems a bit too edgy today. Relax!

SCORPIO
Your sensitivity towards everyone is very clear, but don’t be disappointed that others are not appreciative and try to push your buttons. Take time out if you can - you are extremely self- sufficient when necessary, and don’t always need attention. Love is cool.

SAGITTARIUS
Whatever you do, don’t push your opinions on to colleagues at work or even on to your friends - you’ll only get stressed when they disagree and you’ll be the one getting sick. You have both common sense and intellectual acumen today - use them!

CAPRICORN
The trouble is finding a way to put your amazing new ideas on how to take your career goals up a notch without sounding overly opinionated. It’s best to keep quiet for a few more days and then strike when the time is right. Love is warm and romantic, and the more you boost him, the better it becomes.

AQUARIUS
Talk about elusive! You are mentally and physically here, there and everywhere, and doing everything you can to avoid too much domestic dullness. That doesn’t mean you don’t love them all - just that other things are on your mind. Tonight you’ll be ready for some home comforts with your favourite man.

PISCES
Trying to decide whether to go or whether to stay could be causing you some angst, and you aren’t in the mood to take advice. Relax, and don’t make any decisions for a few days - partly because your finances are a bit erratic. You have your plans - what does your boyfriend want?

ARIES
You just love the idea of being in love, and having a great relationship with friends and colleagues - so why are you feeling so aggressive and stubborn today? Be inventive, but realise that not everyone will understand your radical ideas. Just use that sense of humour and make love, not war…
]]> Mon, 20 May 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/19-may-2013 TAURUS
You could become quite excited if you meet someone new and on your wavelength, but this could leave you confused and emotional, especially if you are involved in a different relationship. Control is needed, don’t make hasty decisions or do anything you’ll regret later.

GEMINI
Stop worrying about your work this weekend - there’s nothing you can do today, so take time out to relax, preferably at home with someone to keep you upbeat. You aren’t the only one with some good ideas, listen and learn! Try trusting your boyfriend - it will add passion to your love life.

CANCER
You are more nit-picky than usual, even if you do try to hide it under a coating of sweetness. Think out of the box as far as your career goes - your colleagues will appreciate your sense of humour and fun and your latest ideas could well work. Less moody than usual, love is excitingly sexual.

LEO
Love-wise, think up some great new adventures - if you can’t afford an overseas trip you can just try some lusty moves. Your career seems to be bringing in the money, though it won’t hurt to look at your investments and income in greater detail.

VIRGO
The Moon in your own sign suggests you are a perfectionist, but don’t get stressed if not everything is to your high standards. Let others help you? It could give you more time to do other things. At least in bed you’ll find the peace (and perfect love?) you really want.

LIBRA
Your personal planet is in hard aspect to the Moon bringing some confusion to your love life. You are passionate about what you want, so take time out and think what to do next. An unexpected trip could come up – fun, even if Saturn warns that you can’t afford it!

SCORPIO
A colleague might not agree with your latest ideas at work, but this is the weekend so take time off to enjoy with friends and your boyfriend. You are passionate about what you do, but leave it till Monday? In love you’ve nothing to prove - and nothing to lose…

SAGITTARIUS
Still thinking about your work and career? It really is time to give yourself a break. You have some very different ideas about how to enjoy yourself, so now is the time to think out of the box. Let love happen in your own OTT way.

CAPRICORN
You are always prepared to control your impulses, but does this mean you have to control everything and everyone else around you? Let your imagination free - it could take you places you’ve only dreamed of, so get ready for the ride of your life.

AQUARIUS
For such an airy creature, life for you seems very heavy this weekend… But your personal planet does have some innovative ideas that combine well with your creative talents. The trouble is you could get stressed. Just do it? You’ll soon forget your troubles - and your boyfriend will love you even more….

PISCES
The idea of spending some money on your home is exciting so go along with your new ideas - but listen to what everyone else has to say - the result could be even better. You are probably in the mood for extravagant, luscious sex - lucky boyfriend!

ARIES
As you expect to be well rewarded for all your hard work, whatever you do this is the ideal time to think up some innovative ideas for making it all happen. A business partnership might not be the best way forward at the moment so think carefully. Love? Creative but not very subtle.
]]> Sun, 19 May 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/18-may-2013 TAURUS
Don’t allow yourself to feel tense during the day - go out and have fun doing the things you enjoy. If you are overly critical of yourself or anyone else you’ll become ill. Patience could well be needed. Your boyfriend sees your beauty, but what about a bit of excitement?

GEMINI
Any tension between you and your family, especially if you want more freedom, could easily flair up today. Don’t overreact, but show affection rather than talking back. Friends will be a source of inspiration. If you feel your boyfriend doesn’t understand, be clear about what you want.

CANCER
Learn from your friends rather than just giving your opinion. The idea of getting away from it all is extremely inviting, but there are many other things to see to first. Working overseas might well be an option. Always highly sexual, you can really let rip today.

LEO
Your independent spirit is encouraged by the Moon moving into Virgo, especially over financial matters. You want to take advantage of an adventure, but know you’ll have to change your plans. Let your right brain have a say - you don’t always have to be totally logical. Avoid jealousy if you can.

VIRGO
Confusion reigns about what you want to do (get away from it all…) and what you think you should do (get your career on track), leaving you highly emotional. Think carefully, considering all the implications. Decide later. All of this puts a damper on your love life.

LIBRA
Love and passion could be more unpredictable than usual as you might decide to break off a relationship. You could enter into a love affair with someone outside your usual circle. Take time out to think about it - you don’t need to make an instant decision, do you?

SCORPIO
Something could happen at work that leaves you stressed and feeling unwell. Don’t sit and fret, talk to friends and business associates to find the best way forward. Playing sport or having an adventure of some kind will help, too. In love, you need to show your power.

SAGITTARIUS
You’d love to take time out and to have some fun, but know that there is a serious work project that has to be finished - if this is the case, use your creative talents to make the day and task more interesting and fun. You can use the same talents in your love life - that’ll please your boyfriend!

CAPRICORN
You could be worrying yourself into the ground for absolutely no reason - go on, think creatively, plan that fun trip overseas or think how you can make your domestic situation more beautiful... You are far hotter in bed than you like to admit, but you can’t hide away tonight.

AQUARIUS
Creative passion rules absolutely everything you do, whether it’s related to your domestic or your love life. In fact you just can’t stop coming up with new interesting, if slightly wacky, ideas. You really do want your fantasies realised today.

PISCES
Is your love life real or is just an illusion? Are you being taken in by a fast talker, or is he really the stuff dreams are made of? Before he moves into your apartment, living off your generosity, get some facts and figures in order.

ARIES
Your mind is as sharp as a razor today, especially when dealing with financial matters, and although your latest ideas for earning more money are quite unconventional, they’d probably work for you. Expect opposition though. You may not be in caring or loving mode - sex will be good, though.
]]> Sat, 18 May 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/17-may-2013 TAURUS
You might be struggling with the thought of change, but when you go with the flow you’ll find it exciting. Rather than getting angry with people who offer advice, listen - it could take your ideas even further. Love equals comfort equals win-win. Avoid obsession - about anything.

GEMINI
Taking time out to listen to what your inner self has to say. It encourages new ideas - both your own and those of others. Listen, learn and see how you can utilise them. If these are quite innovative, you could get nervous - don’t, as it could lead to a very lucky break. Love is spontaneous and experimental.

CANCER
Discuss your more experimental ways of making money with friends and colleagues this weekend. They might not all agree, but it is useful feedback. Some of you might have entered a relationship you prefer to keep secret at this stage - or is it just in your head?

LEO
A friend suggests going on holiday or a trip together – exciting! This could easily turn a friendship into a love affair - but only if it’s what you want. It gives a boost to your sexual ego. It’s time to enjoy group activities with friends.

VIRGO
If trying to stabilise joint resources like income, property and other ventures, take time out alone and you’ll come up with the innovative answer which even your toughest critic will approve. Don’t keep everything too secret - let others in on your ideas! Your lover needs to see your feminine side.

LIBRA
Your boyfriend, colleague or a friend could come up with an interesting challenge which could make you money and will certainly be exciting, but are you up for it? Jupiter is providing the self-confidence and Uranus, the need for excitement. Your love life will be equally stimulated.

SCORPIO
Your work and career are the focus which is great for partnerships and joint ventures. It does suggest there will be some changes, but these will be quite exciting if you can accept that they are necessary. Indulging in exciting love-making will take your mind off any worries.

SAGITTARIUS
Lighten up your work by using your creative talents in an innovative way. Not everyone will like it, but that doesn’t mean you have to overreact - just take time out to do what you like to do - go on, have an adventure or two… You aren’t in the mood to hold back.

CAPRICORN
If you are looking for more independence, now is the time to consider moving on from anything that’s holding you back. This could easily mean moving house, job or making a change in your family relationships. Be positive and generous. Does your boyfriend share your ambitions? It’s important.

AQUARIUS
Your personal planet, Uranus, is bringing so many new exciting ideas that you have to indulge at least one of them otherwise you’ll just get bored and angry. Listen to what your family and friends say. Your life is full of exciting possibilities that need exploring. In love, you are quite demanding.

PISCES
You can’t afford to take financial risks - new ideas are fine, but need careful consideration and a lot of hard work. Your imagination is working over-time and could cause confusion. Be co-operative, but cautious. Taking time out with your boyfriend will revitalize you.

ARIES
Your need to have more fun in your life is quite costly, but you have some interesting if extraordinary ideas for making money which should be explored further. Don’t worry if others disagree - your charm will work. Lovemaking really satisfies when he follows your lead.
]]> Fri, 17 May 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/16-may-2013 TAURUS
Life is all to do with your personal independence, so be ready for change and unexpected events. However, these just might not suit you, so take time out for yourself and think your ideas through carefully, especially if they impact on your finances. Love could be great if you relax a tad more.

GEMINI
Everyone is bombarding you with their advice and ideas on how to run your finances. You have your own plans for what to do, though, so keep quiet so you don’t upset anyone. Just quietly carry on doing what you want to do. As you aren’t in the mood for domestic bliss, encourage him to take you out - or take him out for a change.

CANCER
A lot is going on today, and you want everyone to approve, but you don’t have to accept what they say. Do your own thing – listen and learn but make your own decisions while smiling sweetly. Love-wise, you’ll give him everything today - if it suits you…

LEO
Ambition rules today, so call on your business associates and colleagues and even your friends to step up to the mark. You thrive on action today rather than doing much thinking - it’s highly stimulating, but do take care to avoid accidents. A battle of love soon turns to lust.

VIRGO
Your career goals are your main agenda, but there are problems with finances, like paying your bills and collecting money owed. Discuss, but know that too much talk means no action - so make your own decisions. You can be quite the seductress when you want to be.

LIBRA
Partnerships and joint ventures are the key issue, but don’t rely on them as they could be a bit unpredictable. Be prepared to go your own way. Luckily you do have strong opinions when it counts - just don’t let them hurt you. Relax with your boyfriend and have some fun, loving sex.

SCORPIO
You know exactly what you want and how to get it, but beware as you will probably have to make some adjustments to your work day as your responsibilities change. You think you can do everything so you won’t say no, but can you really cope with it all? Your dream could become a sexual fantasy - enjoy!

SAGITTARIUS
You are in the mood for a love fest, but with Uranus interfering, nothing is certain. You could easily break off a relationship, start a new one - or leap on a plane to visit someone you’ve met through internet dating. Be careful, and use your common sense.

CAPRICORN
You need your wits about you - not everything you are told is accurate, so investigate and research otherwise you could lose money. Keeping to old-fashioned values suits your personality. Even in your love life you take your responsibilities seriously, but don’t let them dampen your passion!

AQUARIUS
Bring more love and romance into your domestic life - think less with your head, and let your heart rule. You’ll be surprised at just how luscious and passionate your lovemaking will become. You’ve many ideas for enlivening your work; consider, but don’t take action yet.

PISCES
You are ready for action, you have new ideas and the job offer is there. But have you thought this through enough? Neptune says to follow your dreams, but not without due thought. Wait a few days while you consider all the different aspects. In love, your sense of humour wins.

ARIES
You have the experimental ideas and are ready to run with them, but not everyone agrees so take time out, think it through again and get all the answers otherwise your bank balance could be badly affected through poor decisions. Spend time alone with your man.
]]> Thu, 16 May 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/15-may-2013 TAURUS
Today, get your clever money-making ideas into reality - get all your facts and figures ready, and set up meetings. You could receive an unexpected bonus today - anything from a low- cost air flight to someone repaying a debt. Lovemaking needs to be nurturing as well as sexual.

GEMINI
Your personal planet, Mercury, shines brightly as it moves into your own sign. Focus on your major ambitions and see everyone sitting up and listening, as well as watching and joining in. You have the ideas - now it’s time to make at least one of them work. Like quick-silver, you can’t be caught today.

CANCER
You probably won’t like it, but someone is after your secrets. Keep quiet about what you are up to, what you want and, most importantly, don’t gossip. You’ll receive important news that you’ve been waiting for. Only your moodiness prevents you from enjoying sizzling sex.

LEO
You’ll prefer to sort out a personal problem yourself, but you can turn to those colleagues and friends who know what‘s going on to help you. Your intuition is strong, and you know who you can trust. Whatever you do, don’t lose that sense of humour, especially in your love-making.

VIRGO
Your personal planet, Mercury, has moved into your career house so now is the time to go for what you really want, and to further your goals by sharing your skills and knowledge - and talking to those who really can make a difference. You are moody, and you need tender nurturing from your man.

LIBRA
This isn’t the time to sit back and do nothing, Mercury moving into Gemini says that now is the time to reach out beyond your usual comfort zone, travel, expand your mind, further your knowledge and get out of your rut! Success is waiting if you are brave enough. You are vivacious and loving - the ultimate catch.

SCORPIO
Look at your talents and skills and see how you can both further them and use them to your best advantage. Joint ventures need to be updated - how best can you make more money? It’s looking good. Try going to others instead of them always coming to you. Hidden love is exciting.

SAGITTARIUS
Your work is stimulated by Mercury moving into Gemini which is and especially good for negotiating contracts in partnerships and joint ventures as they will benefit both parties. Be decisive - you aren’t in the mood for long, drawn-out sessions. You probably don’t know what you feel when it comes to love. Go with the flow…

CAPRICORN
At work you are concerned with your organisation methods, so tidy up your workspace and plan ahead. Love-wise, you are into romance and real love today - a good time for a new hairstyle and wardrobe makeover. It’s time to sort out any health problems and to visit your dentist.

AQUARIUS
Mercury moving into Gemini urges you to write that book, get involved with public speaking, and encourage your creative talents to go wild. Both your work and your home will benefit from your latest ideas and discussions. Love is great if he’s on your wavelength.

PISCES
If you’ve been wanting to sort out a domestic or family issue, now is the time. Property matters need discussion, whether buying, selling, renting or decorating. Don’t delay - the sooner you get it sorted, the better for everyone. Sensitivity should rule in love.

ARIES
Family matters need a hand’s on approach - if you have the money, discuss your ideas and how to get started. Ideas are flowing, so concentrate on just one or two. Ensure your car and computer are in tip-top condition. Love is more emotional than usual, and but even more exciting.
]]> Wed, 15 May 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/14-may-2013 TAURUS
Good communication is key today, but how do you get your message across when there are so many opposing influences? Uranus says be adventurous, while Saturn says be conservative - the answer is to be flexible and enjoy the lively debates. Take care of your man today.

GEMINI
Whatever you pursue today, you’ll achieve though it might not seem like it at the time. This is because of various stressful astral influences out of your control. Hang in there! Take time out, relax and lighten up enough to enjoy your boyfriend’s love moves.

CANCER
It’s no good hiding away, being suspicious about everyone and everything - no matter how eager you are to move on, there are always a few setbacks and the heavens aren’t helping today. Relax and wait. You’ll probably be a bit moody - a bit of cuddling as well as hot sex will help.

LEO
Chicken soup for the soul? You’ll need it for your health as well if you can’t balance your life between work, your home life and play. Don’t believe everyone can do anything just because you can. Use that famous sense of humour - in your love life, too.

VIRGO
Virgos just love being in control, but you can forget it as the stars are every which way today. You can’t make seedlings grow any faster, so just tend them carefully and leave them alone for a couple of days. Love is tender, friendly and offering amazing sex. Enjoy.

LIBRA
Being a bit of a fanatic today doesn’t equate success, however hard you try. Neptune tells you to use your intuition to know when to sit back and when to use more force, especially over your finances. Romance is needed to lighten your load today.

SCORPIO
Arguing with everyone won’t help, and nor will trying to escape. A balancing act between your interests and those of the group or project is quite stressful. Don’t let your emotions get the better of you - keep to the facts. Mutual nurturing will end in some really lusty love-making.

SAGITTARIUS
You know what you want and are passionate about it - and you could become very stressed if you don’t get it. Everything is happening, but maybe behind-the-scenes. Relax, wait and be more nurturing or your boyfriend could become just a fantasy, too.

CAPRICORN
Thankfully your creative talents are saving the day - otherwise there could be arguments to resolve, both at home and at work. Be as sensitive as you can towards your colleagues as well as your family - it will all come right soon enough. Today, love is about his desires, not yours…

AQUARIUS
Stubbornness could be a problem so try not to be too rigid in your thinking, but be ready to change your mind and plans if necessary, especially if it means your finances will benefit. Your love life looks a bit chaotic too – but the sex could be wild.

PISCES
You seem more than usually shy today and not willing to argue, no matter how provoked. Waiting a few days will help your finances. If you do decide to go for it, use persuasion rather than aggression. Love is highly physical.

ARIES
You are determined to go all out for what you want, and if you listen to what everyone has to say, co-operate but take the lead when necessary, you’ll easily achieve the financial security you crave. You don’t want sweet whispered nothings tonight - you want real, exciting sex.
]]> Tue, 14 May 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/13-may-2013 TAURUS
With Neptune getting in on the act, not everything is as it seems - and those who offer friendship are more likely to want your help… Keep a sharp eye on your finances. Your intuition is strong, but maybe not always trustworthy. At least in love matters you can fantasise.

GEMINI
When it comes to your career and finances you have a hard job concentrating on important matters today. However, when you do make a decision you won’t easily change your mind. Unpredictable today, you need your boyfriend to bring some loving calm.

CANCER
You’d better warn your associates and friends that you are extremely moody today, and that the slightest hint of criticism or disagreement will set you off. You’ll probably love to get away somewhere no-one can find you. Comfort comes from cosy lovemaking.

LEO
Thanks to your sense of humour, not even Neptune can really get you down today - and you’ll need it as not everything is running as smoothly as you’d hoped, no matter how hard you try. Wait a couple of days for everything to fall back into place. Let your natural sexiness
rule tonight.

VIRGO
You can’t rely on anything today, and Neptune is confusing things so what you think someone means and what you believe is the right information could be the opposite. Wait a few days before making a decision on anything. Don’t take it out on your boyfriend - he’s suffering Neptune’s vagaries too!

LIBRA
Passions are running high, but what you think is happening probably isn’t… Wait a few days. You’ll most likely change your mind again. Question - are you being adaptable or changeable? Avoid arguments, whether at work or with your man. Tell him to bring some romance into your life.

SCORPIO
Your judgment doesn’t seem too sharp today, especially in relationships whether love, business or anything else. Co-operation could be difficult so it might be best if you take time out rather that overreact or tell them how wrong they are. Lovemaking will be surprisingly passionate.

SAGITTARIUS
You could become a total spitfire today if you don’t get what you want or if there are setbacks at work. You have to be clear about what you do want and let everyone know rather than becoming explosive. Leave these passions for your love life - warn your man first, though.

CAPRICORN
There are many new ideas and options opening up to you, but nothing is quite what it seems at first. Examine everything very closely before you make a decision - best to wait a few days while gathering as much information as you can. At least love-wise, you could have found your dream.

AQUARIUS
Just because you usually don’t make mistakes, doesn’t mean you don’t need to check all your facts and figures again. Neptune is confusing everyone today, and the last thing you need at work or at home is a financial miscalculation. Lovemaking will be exhausting, but wild with opportunity!

PISCES
With your personal planet, Neptune, interfering in yours and everyone’s life today, you are very sensitive and even suffering from self-pity. Don’t worry, it won’t last more than a couple of days, though in the meantime it’s best not to push your ideas or make any concrete decisions. In love, sensitivity rules.

ARIES
As your financial acumen is not as strong as usual (to say the least…) it would be best not to rely on any new money deals. Check and re-check, and don’t sign anything until you are sure - even if it does cause conflict. Love-wise, drama will rule tonight.
]]> Mon, 13 May 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/11-may-2013 TAURUS
Financially, you probably feel as if you aren’t getting anywhere fast. If you clear your mind of past disappointments, are open to your new ideas and allow yourself to take a few exciting risks, you’ll soon wonder why you were worried. Love-wise, it’s time for you to be the strong partner.

GEMINI
Just be yourself - you don’t have to follow the herd, even if not everyone agrees with your zany ideas. Smile rather than getting upset, and discuss rather than getting angry. You are good at jumping in and out of situations, though this doesn’t help your love life. Keep it light, fun and exciting.

CANCER
You’d just love some peace and quiet, but with so many friends and people around, it might be difficult. Switch off and get on with a creative project - make it fun, exciting and use all your creative talents. You’ll make money, too. Love is less emotional than usual, but still highly sexual.

LEO
You are still in the spotlight, so mix with friends as well as groups, organisations and business associates. Try not to be too demanding about anything, though this doesn’t mean giving up on what you want. Just show understanding. Love is pure indulgence.

VIRGO
With your long-term goals becoming more important, rather than reacting in a cold, aloof way, show some nurturing and openness - you’ll be amazed at how everyone becomes more helpful and understanding towards you. Love-wise, try not to be too fickle!

LIBRA
Being able to lighten up about financial matters and joint ventures should make this weekend much happier - and you’ll still make money! You might even consider booking a holiday somewhere exotic or take on further studies. Singles, you attract hangers-on, so be careful no matter how sexy they are.

SCORPIO
It’s no good being Ms Nice all the time - get to grips with the financial aspects of any partnership or contract before you sign. It’s time to state, in a friendly but determined manner, exactly what you want. Can you be everything to your boyfriend? Just enjoy what you have - lust rules.

SAGITTARIUS
You might have to do most of the work today, but by being sweet and helpful rather than demanding, you’ll find everyone else will pitch in and help. However, if you find no-one is willing to co-operate, take time out by yourself. They’ll get the message. Flirty fun rules your love life.

CAPRICORN
You are in the mood for fun, entertaining at home - but realise you do have to do some organizing first. Call on your friends to help but accept that they have their own ideas and agendas too. Be spontaneous in your love making - and don’t feel guilty if you use some extra sexy moves. He’ll love you even more.

AQUARIUS
Your imagination and artistic talents are working overtime - use them at home and when promoting your career goals. This isn’t the time to meekly do what others want - now is the time to be spontaneous and individual - in your love life too.

PISCES
You have the ideas and the motivation - now all you have to do is convince everyone else. Be as charming and friendly as you can, be clear about what you want and ensure that everyone benefits - rather than just you. You need your boyfriend to give support - give him what he needs?

ARIES
With your focus on your priorities and values, as well as on your financial position, can you afford all your latest ideas? Life is certainly exciting but not always peaceful. Good communication rather than just making demands is the key. You are the leader in bed - have fun?
]]> Sat, 11 May 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/10-may-2013 TAURUS
The eclipse of the Sun is important to you because it brings renewed energy and enthusiasm for your whole life, from your diet and exercise plan to uplifting your personality. This is the time to go for that perfect job, new business enterprise or focussing on your love relationship. Love is everything.

GEMINI
If something is going on you don’t want others to know about, keep more to yourself than usual. If this is a relationship issue, ask yourself why you have to keep it secret. You could hear someone else’s secret too, but don’t gossip! Be tough in love.

CANCER
The eclipse emphasises joining groups and organisations, making new friends and most of all setting new goals and priorities for yourself. When you offer love and friendship, you’ll find that your dreams and wishes are satisfied, too. Humour is your best friend - don’t lose it.

LEO
Today’s solar eclipse puts the emphasis on your reputation and how everyone, from your boss to friends to everyone else, sees you. Shine! Make sure you look your best, strut your stuff and generally make a good impression. Try not to overshadow your boyfriend, though.

VIRGO
Overseas travel is well starred by the solar eclipse today, and so are any plans to hone your skills or study different spiritual beliefs and foreign languages. Singles, you could be attracted to someone from a different race of culture. It could be everything you’ve ever dreamed of - and more.

LIBRA
The Solar eclipse today suggests that you take extra care of your finances and investments, especially if you have joint or shared accounts and ventures. Take expert advice - investigate, and question. A matter of an inheritance could crop up, too. Love is more like obsession at the moment.

SCORPIO
All close relationships come under scrutiny now, so let the bad ones go, and appreciate and nurture the good ones. You could receive a proposal of marriage (welcome or not?) - or are going through a difficult break-up. Life passes quicker than you can imagine. Love is electric.

SAGITTARIUS
As you go totally OTT with most things, you need to be careful with this eclipse. You don’t want to go on a diet that is so stringent you get ill or become obsessed with being tidy. Just be responsible and efficient. Love might not be enough, either.

CAPRICORN
The Solar eclipse says it’s time to let your hair down, have fun and do what you want to do - dance, party, paint, learn to play the guitar or climb the Andes - anything and everything is possible so don’t limit yourself. Really enjoy your partner - he could be a keeper.

AQUARIUS
The emphasis is on your home and domestic environment - moving, renovating or starting a business from home are some of the possibilities emphasised by the Solar eclipse today. It is also a good time to settle any outstanding disputes or family disagreements. There could be some changes in love - for the better.

PISCES
You’ll be bombarded with information and data from all sides - it takes your intuitive genius to sort through it and keep what’s relevant and important. Communication of every kind is important - but keep some time for yourself or you’ll suffer burn-out. In love, you need pampering.

ARIES
Naturally, your love life is extremely carnal, but does your boyfriend have the same goals, priorities and values as you? Finances are highly important, and the emphasis of the Solar eclipse is on acquiring assets rather than just frittering your money away on non-essentials.
]]> Fri, 10 May 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/9-may-2013 TAURUS
As your personal planet, Venus, moves into Gemini your focus is on your finances - this is the time to prioritise, decide exactly what will bring you greatest fulfilment and which of your ideas will also provide the most money. It’s exciting, so take your courage and go for it. Love is quite intense.

GEMINI
With Venus moving into your own sign, you’ll find it easier to be charming and to use your sense of humour to get attention and make things happen easily. Luck is with you, too. When you look after yourself, you positively glow with good health. Sex is fun.

CANCER
You can stay away from everyone, if you wish - but be honest to yourself about why as this could mean a secret love affair. Or, do you just prefer to indulge in fantasy rather than the real thing? Work-wise, think big, think charity, and think about helping everyone.

LEO
You are ambitious both for career success and for your personal goals, but realise that working with groups, business organisations and by keeping your associates on your side is the way forward. Love-wise, you want to your lover to be your friend as well as a supplier of hot sex.

VIRGO
Luckily you are now looking your beautiful, talented best as you are in the social spotlight - if in doubt, visit your hairdresser, buy that new lipstick and cool boots. Think about what you want - chances are you could get offered promotion or even head-hunted. You are in the mood for more excitement.

LIBRA
Easily bored, you need an active social life, so organise your friends to go to a show, art exhibition or join a book club - anything that will stimulate you. People from different countries and cultures will fascinate you, too.

SCORPIO
Venus moving into Gemini is activating your finances, partnerships and joint ventures. If you and your boyfriend share common goals, you’ll be fine - if not, you’ll have to work on it. Highly erotic sex will satisfy - but is that enough?

SAGITTARIUS
What should be liberating could actually leave you feeling a bit unappreciated. Venus’s move into Gemini puts the emphasis on your boyfriend, your allies and friends. If you work at promoting harmony and co-operation, you will feel loved.

CAPRICORN
It’s time to ensure your working environment is how you want it - stop worrying about others, and get your own space in order with a fresh coat of paint, some flowers or plants, paintings and even music. When you feel relaxed, your work improves. Is this true love?

AQUARIUS
Venus moving into Gemini means it’s time to look at your domestic environment - does anything new renewing? Anything means mending family relationships or renovating the kitchen … Romance is in the air - take time out for fun and adventure. Love? Be creative…

PISCES
It’s fine having the ideas about how to renovate, decorate or even move home, but now is the time to actually do something. Your family should be supportive so be decisive and get things done. Love-wise, it’s time to fulfil your fantasies.

ARIES
The move of Venus into Gemini emphasises your charm and humour - you can get away with most things now, and your personal planet, Mars, is urging you to take action, to find the solutions and get everything done. There are no complications love-wise - as long as you share the same goals and values.
]]> Thu, 09 May 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/8-may-2013 TAURUS
You see your goals, but you have to decide whether to go for them in a steady, routine way, or to be more flexible and realise that adjusting to each situation will make everything easier to achieve. Let your intuition guide you. Comforting sex is necessary.

GEMINI
Take time out, think carefully about how to achieve your plan and be ready to re-strategise. Instant answers don’t always work, even for you, but could leave you with a nasty headache and totally stressed out. You need your boyfriend to be extra sensitive – but, are you?

CANCER
It really is essential that you co-operate with everyone, especially your business associates, colleagues and your friends. Your career is undergoing some exciting changes, but you must ensure you are on the winning side. You need your boyfriend to make you laugh rather than cry.

LEO
It would be so easy to think that your career is going well and that you don’t need to change direction, but a bit of compromise now will ensure that you stay ahead, with everyone co-operating with you when needed. A warm, romantic night is what will make you really happy.

VIRGO
You need freedom to fulfil your goals, and the last thing you want is to be told what to do. Equally, no-one else wants to be ordered about. A bit of give and take is needed. This is an exciting month - don’t spoil it by being too opinionated. See your boyfriend as a lover rather than brother.

LIBRA
It’s hard, when you are so passionate about everything you do, to calm down without losing your sense of purpose. Direct your energy to your long-term goals, visualise, fantasise and it will all happen. Your career and your finances are on the up anyway. In love, give in for the sake of peace.

SCORPIO
Your health was getting better, but an unexpected fever or something could hit you - so although you can’t prevent everything, looking after your body with a good diet and exercise will help. Love isn’t just a relationship, it’s almost an addiction.

SAGITTARIUS
Today is about control - not controlling others, but yourself, your work ethic and your health. Work-wise, a good routine will help keep stress levels under control. Your health will benefit from regular healthy meals and a few early nights. Keep love simple.

CAPRICORN
As you are in high spirits and full of fun and nonsense your health gets even better than usual. Friends appreciate this new you and as this atmosphere spills over into your work life, and your colleagues enjoy it, too. This doesn’t mean you don’t work - just that you enjoy it more. In love, who is the boss tonight?

AQUARIUS
In order to feel stable you need your home life to be as controlled and organised as possible - the trouble is that with so much going on there, you need to be able to run with the changes. Flexibility is the key - start by co-operating and working as part of the team. Try more passion in love.

PISCES
You have the ideas, but are you ready to make the changes necessary to keep your world on track? Neptune helps you see the vision; now use your intuition to see what you need to do to make it all happen. Only then should you be decisive. Are you in sexy mode tonight? Warn your boyfriend first.

ARIES
Your finances need to be carefully balanced between what is yours and what is shared, especially if you have a joint account or other assets, and especially if you are feeling a bit uncomfortable about a certain issue. Tact and diplomacy may be necessary. In love, let your fantasies be realised.
]]> Wed, 08 May 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/7-may-2013 TAURUS
It’s fine to have great new ideas and know what you want, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t co-operate, however difficult it is for fixed sign, Ms. Taurus. You might be needy today, but tact and charm will work to your benefit and improve your social life.

GEMINI
If you try to transform everyone’s life to suit you, you might have to run for cover as you feel their anger. Teamwork is the way forward, even if it means you don’t have the freedom to do what you want. Take the lead in your love life as he probably won’t mind - for once.

CANCER
You want to share your amazing ideas with your colleagues, friends and associates. The trouble is, they want to share their ideas, too. If it’s too difficult to adjust, take time out alone to re-activate your self-confidence ready for tomorrow. Fulfilling your sexual appetite is a must.

LEO
The Moon is encouraging you to blurt out remarks in a pretty tactless way - take time to think what to say before you get into trouble with colleagues. Being too spontaneous is not a good option today. Even in your love life, try not to be too powerful if you want your boyfriend on side.

VIRGO
Today is a good one for learning and listening to new ideas rather than pushing your own on to everyone else. Remember, sarcasm and being over-critical is a good way to alienate everyone today. Don’t try to run your boyfriend’s life, even if you do it far better than he does. It’s a total turn-off.

LIBRA
Despite this being a strong financial period for you, this isn’t the time to be going it alone. Co-operate with everyone at work - and don’t argue with those in authority. A tactless remark could easily harm all the good you’ve been amassing. Persuade your man you need wild sex to fulfil you tonight.

SCORPIO
Don’t argue today, just give in gracefully - it could put everyone on the back foot, and give you the time you need to re-strategise. Your personal planet is very powerful at the moment - maybe a bit too powerful, so take time out. Your smouldering sex appeal is a winner tonight.

SAGITTARIUS
Hammering your opinions on making money and running everything your way won’t make you friends, but will quite probably leave you stressed, with a headache and having to eat humble pie. This isn’t easy for Ms. Sagittarius, so think before you speak. A comfortable, warm atmosphere is appealing to your man.

CAPRICORN
This isn’t the day to expound on your creative ideas and plans - take time out, giving them more thought, honing your skills and ensuring you have all the facts and figures to hand. Tonight, let romance rule rather than laying down your rules and regulations.

AQUARIUS
The focus is on your home and family, but also on past disagreements, especially with an old friend. If you can mend a disagreement with a previous boyfriend, clear the air now so that you can move on with a renewed lightness. Forget keeping score in love.

PISCES
Direct your ideas towards making money, or at least getting your finances in order. Whatever you do, watch how you speak as the last thing you need is to upset those who can control your money. Freedom to do your own thing shouldn’t include excess alcohol.

ARIES
Stick to making money rather than telling everyone what to do - keep your ideas to yourself at the moment, working on them in a practical way if you want to make the progress you need. Being too bossy at work will only leave you in the loser’s chair. A virile guy is what you need today.
]]> Tue, 07 May 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/6-may-2013 TAURUS
You are passionate about your latest ideas, but not everyone feels the same way. Your boyfriend, in particular, seems to come up with good arguments making you feel stressed and overly emotional. Talk, listen and learn. Can you compromise?

GEMINI
As you toss your latest ideas towards your colleagues and associates, they realise just what an independent thinker you are - and that you don’t want to give them up. If you co-operate a little more, you’ll be able to keep your dreams intact. Love-wise, there are no inhibitions.

CANCER
Career-wise, you’ll find that compromise and discussions are the way forward with your colleagues if you want to keep ahead of the game. Keep alert to every possibility and you’ll find you are in the winning seat. The excitement spills over into your love life - it’s fantasy time!

LEO
New possibilities are opening up which are exciting and different to anything you thought possible. Groups, friends and business associations are supporting your financial goals, though you’ll have to adjust your ideas and co-operate to make it all happen. A sense of power lifts your sex life.

VIRGO
Your itchy feet need to be satisfied, whether you go it alone or with your boyfriend, and whether it means travelling overseas, learning new skills or a total change of career. This is very exciting, and your love life is equally stimulated.

LIBRA
Everything seems to be challenged at the moment, from your home and family life to your work. Finances are stressing you out, too - rather than fighting everything and everyone, try to go with the flow. Early nights and good diet are essential. In love, turn an argument into a sexy battle.

SCORPIO
You know exactly what and who you want in your love life, but if you allow yourself to listen rather than push your own ideas, you’ll find all your relationships will be much easier. Your sex life will be enviably active, too.

SAGITTARIUS
Worrying about finances will be lessened if you think laterally, being creative rather than following same old ideas. Love and romance take on new meaning, but you are quite competitive. Ease up, and let your boyfriend have his say.

CAPRICORN
If you can’t persuade everyone to go along with your ideas, consider re-thinking some of them rather than insisting that only you are right. Then no-one will criticise you, but will be more willing to accept what you say. A win-win situation! Your love life will benefit too - big time.

AQUARIUS
Is your family willing to go along with your ideas? Probably not, so before you antagonise them by being too pushy, try listening to what they have to say. When they see you willing to compromise, they will be, too. Your man might want gentle loving sex rather than over-active eroticism.

PISCES
If you need to discuss financial issues with your colleagues or boss, don’t come across as too demanding, especially if your ideas are quite unusual. Negotiations need compromise rather than intransigence - from both sides. Show love and protection towards your boyfriend.

ARIES
You want it all today - money, prestige and have some amazing, innovative ideas. Just don’t come across as too bossy, scattering everyone else’s ideas and dreams as you focus on yours. Keep your goal in sight, but listen and learn too. Can your boyfriend cope with your sexual demands today?
]]> Mon, 06 May 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/5-may-2013 TAURUS
You now know you can have everything you want, so let today be one where you relax and bring peace and tranquillity into your busy life. Show your friends just how loving and nurturing you are. Take time for yourself – like, enjoy a long relaxing bath instead of a quick shower – maybe even with your boyfriend?

GEMINI
If you’ve been having some sleepless nights recently, today is the time to take time out, catching up on sleep or anything else you’ve neglected recently. Let others do the work. You might need a sexual break, giving yourself time to re-charge those inner batteries.

CANCER
You’ll have to decide what is really important to do today so that you don’t tax yourself. Doing what you want is important, but you need to choose as spreading yourself between too many friends will be just too tiring. An exciting new relationship is exciting and promising.

LEO
People are keen to know everything about you, and you are eager to promote your ideas as well as your career aspirations. This doesn’t mean you have to give away your secrets - it won’t hurt to keep certain things back, or to keep them guessing. Opt for unrestrained love with unexpected moves.

VIRGO
With so much about to happen this coming week, rest and relax today so that you re-charge those inner batteries. Your love life should be a calming influence, showing your boyfriend just how much you care, using some interesting and unexpected moves.

LIBRA
You do know you are on the right track, but your intensity and passion makes you worry too much. Relax and let everything wash over you today rather than spending hour after hour on the computer researching every aspect of your life. Sex is still compulsive, though.

SCORPIO
You’ve been pursuing a physical love relationship, but now you need more romance and fun. You might have to explain it patiently, but if your boyfriend gets it, your sex life will be lifted to a new dimension.

SAGITTARIUS
It really has been feeling as if your life is all work, both in the office and at home and you are probably exhausted. Take time out at home, relax and let your boyfriend introduce some new romantic moves – then, just lie back and enjoy.

CAPRICORN
Today is all about love and romance with your boyfriend going along with all your latest ideas. What a lucky boy! It is all pure pleasure as you do everything just to please yourself. Jupiter says don’t neglect your chores, though…

AQUARIUS
So why are you being a martyr? The focus might be on your family and domestic environment, but that doesn’t mean you can’t take time out for yourself. Your finances look fine, so you can afford to pursue more than a little bit of pleasure.

PISCES
Your financial planet, Mars, is urging you to get your financial act together and change the things that aren’t working for you. This could make you feel a bit stressed, so let it wait until tomorrow. Today, relax and have some fun. And don’t talk too much!

ARIES
Finances are your main concern all of this month - both your own and those of your love or business partner. Joint investments and accounts will need your input. Today, take time out to soften your attitude and let love bring you the positivity and relaxation you need.
]]> Sun, 05 May 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/4-may-2013 TAURUS
There’s tension in the air, but you want to make changes and to do everything your way. With your intuitive understanding of what needs to be done coupled with your usual charm you can convince your friends of anything. Love needs to be playful and fun.

GEMINI
Rather than getting stressed, just know that everything will be fine - your career aspirations are on a roll. Use your imagination to see the future in a positive light, and be subtle rather than pushy today, especially if trying to sort out a problem at work. In love, you need to know he’s committed - even if you aren’t.

CANCER
New opportunities are opening up to you, which could mean a move - maybe a change of career, or even working abroad. Talk to your friends and sound out ideas, but don’t make decisions until you are really sure. Let your imagination guide you. There are no limits. Will your boyfriend understand?

LEO
Your career is looking extremely healthy, but you are fretting about money. Everything seems confusing, and you are probably worrying too much. Talk to experts, but don’t discount your own intuitive powers to tell if everyone is being honest. Is he as open as you are?

VIRGO
You’ve probably made a solid, if sometimes boring, career choice. The Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars are now encouraging you to move on, and to take your aspirations to the next level. Scary? Probably, but with charm and sensitivity you’ll win big time. Love is not what you expected.

LIBRA
Whatever you do, don’t make quick decisions - wait until next month because Neptune is confusing the issue, making you feel uncertain. You’ll know soon enough if you are on the right track. Go into every issue in depth rather than superficially. When it comes to sex, use your imagination.

SCORPIO
This weekend is all about love, romance and sex. Lots of it… You can make your relationships into whatever you want as only a Scorpio woman can. Turn it on or turn it off - your sex appeal will have him fulfilling all your dreams.

SAGITTARIUS
It might be the weekend, but you still have a lot to get through. Don’t sit back moaning - get on with it! If you can get your family involved and helping you, so much the better. Encourage your boyfriend to bring unexpected, imaginative moves to your love life.

CAPRICORN
Your imagination is soaring this whole month, and today is the time to toss these ideas about with friends and colleagues, even if it’s hard work persuading them. The last thing you want is to go back to same old, same old. Love requires patience.

AQUARIUS
If you want to avoid feeling vulnerable make sure you don’t agree with your partner and family just to keep the peace - otherwise you’ll be unhappy and miserable. When your home life is how you want it, you’ll be far more productive, and your sex life really beefs up.

PISCES
The more you visit friends, siblings and neighbours, the better. It’s a great day to get involved in community or group projects. Your intuitive understanding is much needed today, so don’t hide away - share your insights. If no man around, let your friends show love and support.

ARIES
Use your intuition as far as your financial goals are concerned. Think today and discuss, but don’t take action immediately - take your time to decide exactly what you need to do, no matter how much you want to make the changes. Your softer, more maternal instincts bring emotion to your sex life.
]]> Sat, 04 May 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/3-may-2013 PISCES
This is a great socialising day, so don’t sit at home washing your hair - get out there! A new and exciting opportunity for renting or buying a property comes up, and it’s within your budget, too. Use your intuition, but remember to use common sense rather than extravagance – in your love life, too.

ARIES
As you can talk anyone and everyone into agreeing with you today, you can make whatever plans you like. Over-indulge in a secret or fantasy love affair if you like, but be prepared for a ground-bumping reality check later.

TAURUS
A colleague or friend could come up with a money-making project which will take you out of your usual rut. It’s great fun, but will it work long-term? Don’t be talked into making a quick decision, but consider all the different aspects. In love you need total togetherness today.

GEMINI
Something comes up that will take you out of a restricting situation and means you can easily achieve all your personal goals without interference, but which could mean separation from family and friends. It’s stimulating and exciting, but a bit scary. Ask your boyfriend for his opinion.

CANCER
Well your life won’t be uneventful today. You feel more energetic and ready to do something totally out of your usual routine, and as your imagination is wilder than usual, there are no limits. You aren’t afraid of anything or anyone, even you can be in for a bit of a surprise.

LEO
An unexpected boost of good fortune could come through a new friend or someone from a different country or culture. Don’t limit yourself - the more you interact with new people, the more personal freedom you’ll achieve. You don’t have to prove anything in love.

VIRGO
You feel totally optimistic about your career goals, and you know that everyone, including your close family and partner, is giving support - so go on, make your plans even if they do take you out of your usual routine. Love-wise, it’s about time you took the lead with your fantasies.

LIBRA
An unexpected meeting could turn into a new love affair or an opportunity to travel overseas. You are focussed on your work, so you will need the support of colleagues if you are to meet your financial needs. Discuss rather than keeping quiet. Love has a highly unexpected aspect to it - go with your gut feeling.

SCORPIO
Your work seems unstable, as if you are trying to meet deadlines, but so much is going on that it’s hard to concentrate. Use your time as creatively as possible, and you’ll find all the financial help you need. Don’t let your emotions become OTT. Just have good, old-fashioned sex.

SAGITTARIUS
You’ll get unexpected support from a friend or romantic partner over a domestic or family problem, so relax and do what has to be done. Discussions go well. If you are planning a move, this is a good time to do it. Also don’t delay in learning new skills to take your career up a notch. Love is unorthodox, but fun.

CAPRICORN
With so much going on at work, you find it hard to cope with upsets at home, but this is the right time to be more independent and responsible for yourself. The answer lies in good communication with family, friends and especially your siblings. You’ll relax and enjoy your sex life more, too.

AQUARIUS
Nothing seems to be staying the same, but these new ideas are powerful so use your imagination to make your career and finances move upwards to a new level. It’s just the impetus you’ve been waiting for, so start today to make plans. Sex is unusual, but satisfyingly exciting.

]]> Fri, 03 May 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/02-may-2013 TAURUS
You’ll just get frustrated if you try to control everything, so from your career to your boyfriend, try to back off a bit today. Instead, come up with new ideas - toss them around, and listen to what others have to say. Let your femininity show, but with some innovative moves thrown in.

GEMINI
Take time out to consider all the options, and don’t be rushed into something you might later regret. Whatever happens, don’t become depressed - chat to your friends, and have an adventure. Exercise will help dispel any blues. In love, just go for it and have fun!

CANCER
Today is all about your personal network of friends and colleagues, so stand back rather than taking the lead or telling everyone what to do. You’ll just get frustrated and angry when they resist. Intensity rules your love life. Try to detach a bit.

LEO
You want your career to really take off, and it will, but today not everyone will be as helpful as you’d hoped. Don‘t push it - wait a couple of days. Despite that, it’s still a good day, both financially and career-wise. Your man will rebel if you are too demanding - give in for a change.

VIRGO
Make sure your transport is in good condition. Avoid accidents and expect delays, either through traffic jams or even flight problems. Frustrating! Concentrate, instead, on all the new opportunities coming your way as your career prospects to keep improving. Love feels like a new affair.

LIBRA
You might be passionate about your latest project, but you need to let others have their say, too. It would be good to have everything your way but it isn’t always possible, so smile and let go. Use that passion in your love life, instead - with a dash of romance, too.

SCORPIO
Try to avoid confrontation today, especially at home - even if it does mean you are losing out financially at first. Working as part of a partnership will bring you more than going it alone. Self-discipline is the way forward. Even if your love life is hard work today, it’ll be worth it!

SAGITTARIUS
Take extra care today, no matter what you are doing as accidents could easily happen on the road, at work or at home. Instead of dashing around travelling, set up a conference call instead. Even then, watch what you say. It looks like love, but are you really sure?

CAPRICORN
Don’t take unnecessary risks today, no matter how tempted - the result could be in huge financial loss, illness or other calamities. This is one of those days where you should sit back and wait rather than try to solve everything. Bring romance into your love life - the more the better.

AQUARIUS
This should be a really good day, but in order to make it happen you’ll have to balance your home and business life. Angry scenes could cause an accident, so keep calm and remain your usual confident, positive self. Focus your attention on your boyfriend tonight.

PISCES
Taking unnecessary risks will not only cause you to become angry, but you could end up in a nasty accident. Just be very aware of what is happening. The good news is that your home life will help you regain your self-confidence if you take time out. Use your more erotic moves tonight.

ARIES
Think about your financial situation and what you can do to improve it even further. Warning: don’t rush into anything without taking expert advice and knowing all the ins and outs otherwise you could end up the loser. Exotic sex turns you on, but what does he like?
]]> Thu, 02 May 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/01-may-2013 TAURUS
Mercury, your financial planet, moves into your sign today, and it’s time to take your power, use your personal magnetism and go for what you want. Your health is good and your energy levels are high. You can see your goals. Sex will be great, if you aren’t too aggressive.

GEMINI
Mercury moving into Taurus urges you not to make your usual snap decisions, especially about your personal life, but to think them through very carefully. You don’t have to tell anyone until you are ready. Passion is intense, and you could discover that he’s the one.

CANCER
Your co-workers and associates need to know what you think, as do your friends. If you leave them to guess what you mean, they’ll end up with the wrong end of the stick. Love is a dilemma for you today. If you want intimacy, don’t act cold and detached.

LEO
With so many planets in your career house, this is the time to make the changes you need. Your business associates will remain supportive, as long as you don’t become too controlling. Do watch your health - control your stress levels. Let eroticism rule.

VIRGO
With so many new opportunities opening up to you, you are ready to make that leap into the unknown. The only limits are the ones you impose on yourself. Just remember that you are your own woman and can do anything and everything. Even your love life gets more exciting.

LIBRA
There is more romance in your love life as well as intensity and buzzing sex - just don’t let jealousy mar a really great relationship. It’s time to develop all your talents and skills. A business partnership could be initiated now which will support your finances.

SCORPIO
If you are thinking of taking your love life to the next level, now is a good time even if Saturn is advising caution. He is enjoying the nurturing side of your personality. The Sun is in good aspect to your personal planet, Pluto, and it’s time to initiate action.

SAGITTARIUS
It’s time to re-organise your work space so that everything is up-to-date. Discuss these changes with colleagues - they might have good ideas on how to make your life less stressed. Does your home need sorting too? The more attention you give your boyfriend, the better.

CAPRICORN
What makes you relax? You are in winning mode, and everything you touch brings more happiness. Saturn does warn not to take too many risks, but that isn’t your style. Everyone knows just how clever and accomplished you are. Don’t let him think he’s inferior.

AQUARIUS
Think about your domestic and family issues, but what you want is the important issue. Your ideas are probably a bit too inventive for some people, but go with them anyway. Starting a business from home could be an option to discuss. If you do too much, you won’t have the energy for sex.

PISCES
You certainly don’t want to be idle, but make sure you have enough energy for all the meetings, discussions and ideas you want to toss about. Keep it all light, no matter how you passionate you feel, and you’ll get positive feedback. Sex is great, but is there enough emotion?

ARIES
Most of your attention is taken up with money - your own, your boyfriend’s, or a business partnership. Discussions will go well as long as you don’t become overly intense. Persuasion will get your further than insistence. Sex is great, but you need more than that.
]]> Wed, 01 May 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/30-april-2013 TAURUS
Saturn is still the influencing factor, and life is like two bulls butting heads. No matter what you do, you can’t seem to get round the obstacles. Relax - there is another way if you are prepared to move, even just slightly. If you do, your love life will improve dramatically, too.

GEMINI
Everything seems a bit boring and tedious. All you do is work and you are feeling a bit stressed. Not even your love life is any fun – it all seems so heavy. How can you make it lighten up? Why not indulge in some adventurous sex?

CANCER
Too many responsibilities will make your life lack fun over the next few days - you might find that you haven’t the time to pursue your creative and artistic talents. Don’t worry, just do what has to be done and it will all fall into place. Be patient with your boyfriend - it isn’t his fault.

LEO
Instead of blaming everyone else, try to improve your relationship with your family and to make your home life happier. This way, when Saturn moves out of range, you’ll be ready to move on. It might feel like all work and no play, but it’s up to you to change it.

VIRGO
Despite Saturn trying to delay your travel plans, this is actually a very creative day. When you work with your colleagues and friends, you’ll find that together you’ll still achieve everything you want. Love-wise, who is the more dominant partner?

LIBRA
You certainly don’t lack money, but what you do lack is the desire to shop. You feel tense and fed up with the amount of things needing your attention and time. At least your home provides some of the comfort you’ve been missing all day.

SCORPIO
Partnerships and business alliances seem to lack everyone’s cooperation, and you just can’t seem to achieve anything. Too many people are interrupting your day and making you feel frustrated and wanting to be left alone. Don’t argue. Tonight, you’ll need real love and not just sex.

SAGITTARIUS
Everything is destined to give you a headache if you let it! Try to relax and ignore everyone. Getting on with your work by yourself is the best antidote. Lock your door, if necessary, as you don’t want their bad vibes. Passionate sex will help tonight.

CAPRICORN
Your personal planet is still calling all the shots, and encouraging you to take risks you wouldn’t normally even consider. As long as these aren’t too dangerous, go with it - it could totally revitalise you. Some imaginative sex tonight will also be fun.

AQUARIUS
Balancing your home and work is difficult at the moment as there seem to be too many obstacles in your path. Starting a new venture from home might have to be delayed - just wait, it will all clear soon enough. Get the basics right instead of rushing. A bit of light relief will help your love life, too.

PISCES
Saturn says hold back, but Mars tells you to get on with everything as quickly as possible. You have many ideas, but Saturn says they aren’t workable. Slow down, think them through and then decide. Patience is needed in the bedroom, too - can your man satisfy your fantasies?

ARIES
You want to spend some of your hard-earned cash, but Saturn warns you to invest wisely. You hear of a scheme that will quickly make you more money, but Saturn tells you to steer clear. This is frustrating, so let dramatic love-making rule tonight. You’ll feel great in the morning.
]]> Tue, 30 Apr 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/29-april-2013 TAURUS
The emphasis is on relationships, both business and personal, and how you interact with everyone is important - if you only see obstacles, you could rush to end the relationship. If you compromise, everyone will win. In love, think sensual satin rather than crisp cotton.

GEMINI
Your daily responsibilities, both at home and at work, might just be getting too much for you to handle and causing you stress and illness. This is just a temporary hitch - the burdens will soon be lifted, so relax and appreciate what you do. Love-wise, think up new ways to excite him, and take your mind off your worries.

CANCER
No matter what anyone says, if you don’t feel like laughing, don’t - but that doesn’t mean you have to be cold or severe. Despite this, you are making good progress financially, career-wise as well as in your love life. Let your boyfriend encourage your very active libido.

LEO
You might think your career progress is being held back by your family - through interference, domestic issues and responsibilities. Actually, you are making progress, so it’s up to you to finish your present projects and then move swiftly on. Try not to be too possessive.

VIRGO
Rather than neglecting friends and relatives and especially your neighbours who are going through a tough time, organise your time and energy to take in everything that needs to be done. Turn it into fun to make it happier for everyone. Traditional lovemaking suits you today.

LIBRA
Placing too much emphasis on money today will limit the amount of pleasure you get out of your life. Think about what is really important to you, and move on. Love-wise, too, think progressive rather than static.

SCORPIO
You could suddenly suffer a lack of self-confidence. Is it your self-image? Do you need a new hairstyle or to update your wardrobe? Have you neglected your fitness regime and put on weight? Now is the time to do something positive. You might feel better hanging back, but it won’t help in the long-term.

SAGITTARIUS
Don’t rush in, but quietly face what is going wrong, your fears and worries, and work on your strategy to bring your life back to normal again. A bit of loud, funny, unsubtle and exuberant sex will cheer you up - even with someone entirely unsuitable.

CAPRICORN
Don’t blame anyone else because you can’t control everything in your life - you might only be concerned with your own happiness, but when you give more consideration to everyone else, your life feels much happier too. You don’t want to rush into a relationship, but does your boyfriend?

AQUARIUS
It seems you are being bombarded by responsibilities, both at home and at work. Think how lucky you are to have them, rather than complaining. Find creative answers instead – this could be a lot of fun. Don’t let your bed be a battleground.

PISCES
You are gathering information and exchanging ideas, but make sure you broaden your horizons rather than just producing the same old stuff. There could easily be delays in your travel plans; don’t lose your cool, but make alternative ones. Love is more of a love-in.

ARIES
No matter what the circumstances, be willing to accept responsibility for your part in it rather than blaming anyone else. Don’t let anyone impose values on you that you don’t agree with - then you’ll make real progress financially and career-wise. Great sex might not hide a lack of commitment.
]]> Mon, 29 Apr 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/28-april-2013 TAURUS
Beautiful luxury-loving perfectionist Taurus, you need your home and workspace to be clean, tidy and uncluttered. You hate change, so often stay at a job you dislike. You adore gourmet food, and thrive when given a large expense account. Winter is coming, and extra vitamin C could help prevent sore throats and flu.

GEMINI
Never still, you thrive when talking, gossiping and visiting as many friends and business associates as possible. Full of ideas, you flit from one to another so need help to make them workable. Take exercise, get enough sleep and have a diet full of fruit and veggies to keep your lungs clear and your nerves calm.

CANCER
You thrive when you feel secure, and like to own property and have a healthy investment portfolio, whilst your creative talents make you into a successful entrepreneur. Avoid illness by staying upbeat and happy - dancing, team games, massage and high fibre foods will all help. Hypochondria must be avoided.

LEO
Being confident and charismatic, use your leadership qualities to put across the creative business ideas that have the most potential, while letting others sort out the small details. Don’t take yourself too seriously, and don’t put others down but appreciate your own worth. Back exercises are important.

VIRGO
Finding it hard to trust others, you prefer to do your own research. Don’t follow trends or get-rich-quick schemes. Sometimes, though, you are just too cautious. You prefer to work alone, but for a large organisation. You’re a worrier, and you need natural whole foods, exercise and meditation to stay unstressed.

LIBRA
An efficient, quiet and harmonious work space is needed. Your stylish beauty and sense of fairness are great assets as everyone trusts you. Taking risks is not your style as it gives you too much tension. You need balance between work, play and rest.

SCORPIO
Quite secretive and calculating, you make many changes of direction in your life and no-one is really sure of what you do. You don’t like working with other people. Walking, natural foods and mental relaxation keep you healthy - avoid constipation, throat and sexual problems. Like Taurus for, vitamin C is important.

SAGITTARIUS
You are the zodiac’s gambler – optimistic and brave, you love change and chasing rainbows across the world. An opportunity in Timbuktu? Book your camel, and pick up your Ipod… Freedom is your motto. Avoid rich foods as digestive problems plague you. Exercise helps, especially your hips and thighs.

CAPRICORN
‘Be prepared’ is your motto as you watch and wait for the right opportunity. Once you’ve decided on a path, no-one can persuade you otherwise. You have respect for authority and always have the facts and figures to hand. Any exercise that keeps your joints fluid is essential. What makes you laugh? You need fun!

AQUARIUS
You hate a confining daily business routine, but as the advanced thinker of the zodiac, are full of innovative ideas. As you lose interest quickly, you need a partner to make your ideas practical. Keep your circulation system healthy with exercise, get enough sleep - avoid ankle sprains, high blood pressure.

PISCES
Independent and creative, you seem to cause chaos wherever you go as your dreams and feelings overcome your common sense. You need a sensible partner to prevent you from swimming in too many directions. Live or relax near water. Being overweight can damage your feet. Avoid excess alcohol and drugs.

ARIES
As you act first and think later, you rush every new idea into a business venture, then usually leave others to carry it on as you move on to the next… You thrive on the excitement of get-rich-quick schemes. You need to know when to stop and rest. Headaches and kidney problems will be helped by drinking lots of water.
]]> Sun, 28 Apr 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/27-april-2013 TAURUS
Being so passionate and intense today might be a problem if you can’t control everything - try to trust. It might be scary, but treat it as an adventure. Do you need to let some of your friends go if they no longer provide the support and love you need? Finances look good.

GEMINI
Expect a stressful weekend as the Moon moves into your relationship house - or will you use the energy to liven up your love life? Not even your career seems to give you the satisfaction you were after, and not everything is as it seems, so don’t make instant decisions.

CANCER
You might feel as if you can’t keep control of your life, but stick to your usual daily routine, ensure you have all the facts and figures to hand and welcome the change in your career. All will be well. If friends give more love and support than a boyfriend, that’ll change soon, too.

LEO
Your career will benefit from your creative way of thinking, but this is the weekend so relax and allow yourself to have some fun with friends. Love is a bit challenging but if can bring some romance into your life, it will lead to some quite explosive sex.

VIRGO
Life is quite exciting with so many different options and ideas, travel opportunities that you could feel quite exhausted. Spend time in your home environment, with your family and your boyfriend in order to re-charge those inner batteries. Give your career goals a rest? Let your boyfriend make the rules tonight.

LIBRA
Your love life is the main event this weekend, and you feel quite passionate and intense about it. Is this the time to let your boyfriend know how you feel? Do you know how you feel? You might feel a bit out of control, so don’t make quick decisions.

SCORPIO
Check your accounts and payments - you could be lucky and discover you have more than you thought in the account, or that someone owes you. Your love life is the big issue. Passion rules and luck is with you, so don’t hold back.

SAGITTARIUS
Be as organised as you can be and get all the facts and figures to hand before you make any final decisions. The Moon is in your sign giving you everything you need, including the self-confidence to follow your dreams. Just be practical about it. You can have and be anything you want now.

CAPRICORN
Let your creative juices flow, but don’t act immediately - think everything over carefully. You do have to believe in yourself, and you can do and be everything you want. Don’t let your personal planet, Saturn, moving retrograde make you doubt. Let romance rule.

AQUARIUS
Adventure calls, and you have some very interesting ideas, but you need the security of your home and family as well as a romantic interest. You must make up your own mind - don’t be pushed by anyone as you’ll only regret it later. A bit of sexy romance won’t hurt.

PISCES
Your ideas for a new career, or to energise your present one, could make you money - but there’s probably not much you can do today so use this weekend to relax, bring some love and romance back into your life. Let your active intuition tell you when to be hot and when to chill out.

ARIES
This really isn’t the time to be fretting over money worries - just know you are doing fine, trust and don’t over-spend on trivia. An exciting project is coming your way and you’ll need all your energy. Stick to the rules in love – though there aren’t many in Aries’ book…
]]> Sat, 27 Apr 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/26-april-2013 You might feel a bit unsettled and emotional about how others see you, but don’t worry as they really are supportive. Just give them a chance. Do everything with love and co-operation rather than as a duty. When love is good, it’s very, very good.

GEMINI
Watch your health and especially your stress levels as there is a lot to get through at work and you don’t want to fall behind. Be tolerant of everyone, especially your colleagues as you’ll need their support when you start on your next project. You’re less changeable today, and your boyfriend appreciates your commitment.

CANCER
Love, romance and relationships are all of interest as you could be in the throes of a new romantic affair which is exciting and all-absorbing. Your colleagues may have to take up the slack and do some of your work if your mind is on other things.

LEO
Why so stressed? Control those emotions, be more tolerant and it will all come right - sooner rather than later. If you can just go with the flow everything will happen much quicker, and you’ll have the support of both family and your colleagues. Try out some of your boyfriend’s fantasies for a change…

VIRGO
Some of your ideas could so outlandish that Saturn is urging you to be more conservative. Don’t let your ideas dry up - it’s exciting at the moment and who knows where it’ll end… You aren’t as simple to understand as your boyfriend first thought - keep him guessing!

LIBRA
Heed Saturn’s warning to be a bit more conservative with your finances today - the road is extremely bumpy even though the end result will be better than you first imagined, but you don’t want to fall into any large potholes along the way. Unusual tension in your love life? Try giving in.

SCORPIO
You’ll probably realise just how much you feel for your boyfriend - or not! It certainly seems you are more loved and appreciated more than you’d thought and your social life is picking up too. Enjoy! If you dare to trust others, you’ll be even more loved.

SAGITTARIUS
Rather than rushing into a new project at work, discuss with colleagues, show them the creative possibilities so you avoid conflict. Make sure you have all the small details to hand so everyone knows you’ve thought it through and it isn’t just a hare-brained scheme. You need more than predictable sex.

CAPRICORN
Don’t get upset if some of your friends leave your circle as new ones are coming - but be supportive if a close friend is going through any kind of upset or trauma. This is when your caring practical nature is really needed. Tell your boyfriend that you need some loving support too.

AQUARIUS
Just as you decide to spend more time devoted to domestic issues, a financial matter at work needs to be sorted. Luckily you can rely on the support of your colleagues which will take some of the pressure off you. Just don’t let it seem you are slacking? He will give the support you need.

PISCES
There are so many opportunities opening up to you, new ideas, new projects and even the possibility of a job overseas that it isn’t a good idea to rush into anything. Take your time, and decide which will bring most satisfaction. Love is a bit of an emotional see-saw.

ARIES
Financial opportunities are coming from every side so you’ll have to be very aware not to unnecessary risks. Talk to a financial expert, research and don’t make quick decisions. Using some of your many sexual tricks will make your love life far more enjoyable than waiting for your man to come with all the ideas.
]]> Fri, 26 Apr 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/25-april-2013 TAURUS
The Lunar eclipse is in Scorpio opposing Mars and Venus, putting the emphasis on all partnerships whether business or love, and they will either strengthen or end. If a business relationship ends you’ll be inspired to take a different direction. It’s unsettling, but well worth it in the end.

GEMINI
With energy of the lunar eclipse on your work environment and your health, this is the perfect time to give up smoking, go on diet, join a gym and generally get your body into shape. You do need to rest more over these next few days. Sexual fantasies could be realised.

CANCER
The good news is that your creative imagination works overtime and you can achieve all your dreams. The bad news is that you could be over-fertile - take precautions! You can expect your business contacts and associates to give you support - as long as you don’t take silly risks. Love may be too intense.

LEO
It is all about balance over these next few weeks, and the lunar eclipse suggests it is time to balance your work and career with your family and domestic life. You know if you are a workaholic or find every excuse to stay at home. Love will be a success if he shares your ambitions.

VIRGO
The emphasis of the lunar eclipse is on how you communicate and on keeping up with the latest technology on cars and computers. This is a busy time, so avoid getting angry or frustrated when not everything goes according to plan immediately. You are probably too tired for love.

LIBRA
This is a good time to get your finances sorted, so pay off your credit card rather than taking on further debt. Whatever you do, think carefully before spending or making unwise investments - get rich quick schemes are a total no-no. Jealousy rules your love life - cool it!

SCORPIO
This is a new beginning for you - you don’t have to keep on with same old, same old… Decide what you really want, and go with it. A new relationship for single Scorpios is very likely now. You’ll achieve more when working with others rather than by yourself all the time.

SAGITTARIUS
It is time to take care of anything you have left unfinished, whether at work or in your personal life. Be gentle, and don’t give in to angry outbursts - it’s time to mend broken relationships if you can. Avoid stress as the outcome would be headaches or even an accident.

CAPRICORN
The lunar eclipse is highly positive for you as it brings a boost to your finances, and you are offered further responsibility at work or in any group or association. You will also see your goals being realised. Be warned, though - over-indulgence and obsessions could be dangerous…

AQUARIUS
Your career will be the issues over the next few months, emphasised by the Lunar eclipse, and you could see advancement or else decide to move on. Avoid tension at home, especially with your parents if you want to go in a different direction. Love is getting serious for many of you.

PISCES
With so many different options opening up to you, the lunar eclipse is telling you to make a decision so now is the time to think, plan and work on your ideas. Don’t make instant or rash decisions - it could end in an accident, especially when driving. Love is highly emotional – could he be ‘the one’?

ARIES
The Lunar eclipse is emphasizing the need for you to work as part of a team or in a partnership as shared investments and finances could work better than going it alone. Be very clear about what you want and what is being offered as you don’t want to lose out. Your love life is extreme - just as you like it!

]]> Thu, 25 Apr 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/24-april-2013 TAURUS
Show a cheerful face at work and this will make everyone more upbeat and optimistic. You’ll find your finances look better, too. As Venus is both your personal and health planet, you’ll feel much better when you work and play as part of a group.

GEMINI
Think how you can use your creative talents to reach your goals. Success is on the horizon as you have both self-confidence and generosity. It will be your hard work that gets you there in the end. You are so busy, do you really have time for your boyfriend?

CANCER
Take it easy today - the lunar eclipse tomorrow will be tiring for you, even if it is in your house of friends and fun. The good news is that business associates and friends appreciate your positivity. Use your intuition to know the way forward from here. There are no barriers in your love life.

LEO
Your career goals are the focus, so be in touch with anyone and everyone who can help, take the lead when it’s necessary to make decisions, but remember that your good organisational skills are still needed. Take it easy this evening before the lunar eclipse tomorrow.

VIRGO
Your financial luck improves today, but with so many options opening up to you, it will be hard to know which direction to take. Jupiter is bringing the optimism and positive thinking, but you have to make the decision. The easiest option isn’t always the best. In love, do you have other things on your mind?

LIBRA
You are in the middle of a great financial week. It isn’t all easy, but the end result should be fantastic. Relax today before the lunar eclipse tomorrow - this eclipse emphasises your financial luck. Working with a business (or love) partner is better than going it alone.

SCORPIO
This is a day for thinking and strategising in order to take advantage of all your financial opportunities. You could easily meet a prospective romantic partner through your friends or a business meeting - perhaps even online. Take it easy this evening before the lunar eclipse tomorrow.

SAGITTARIUS
Do look after your health at the moment, and take it easy today and tonight before the lunar eclipse tomorrow. Work opportunities come through your business contacts and associates so keep in touch with them - but it will be your hard work and attention to detail that brings the results.

CAPRICORN
Your optimism and ability to take measured risks bring even more opportunities into focus. You have the ideas and are sensitive to current trends so there is nothing stopping you. There could be some pressure on your family and domestic life, but don’t let it turn into an argument. Love is a bit too emotional.

AQUARIUS
Today is one of those rare really good days where everything seems to fall into place - your family and boyfriend give support to your ideas and endeavours, and you have the creative imagination to take you where you want to go. There are no limits. Sex is comfortable as well as highly physical.

PISCES
Everything you say, think and do is quite intense and passionate. This is exhausting even for you, but it will get you what you want. You pick up knowledge and beef up your ideas. Relax at home with your boyfriend or family this evening - you call the shots.

ARIES
With your personal planet conjunct the Sun, there is no stopping your financial success. Try not to demolish anyone else’s ideas - you know what you want, but it doesn’t mean everyone has to go along with you. Keeping colleagues on your side will help, too, as will encouraging your lover to be your best friend.

]]> Wed, 24 Apr 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/23-april-2013 TAURUS
You probably feel a bit tense and unloved today… Relax! This is just a cosmic glitch. Sticking to your usual routine will make you feel safe. By this evening you’ll feel full of energy and ready for every challenge. Give your boyfriend the attention he deserves tonight.

GEMINI
You might start out wanting comfort and stability but by tonight you are ready to party! Add some creative spice to everything you do, and you’ll be surprised at just how much better you’ll feel. Some really invigorating sex will cheer you up, too.

CANCER
Your family and domestic situation are important to you today, and although you could be thinking of moving on with your life, it’s important you don’t make quick decisions. Be sensitive, but don’t be pushed into decisions by anyone or anything. Love-wise, anything and everything goes.

LEO
Get in touch with anyone who can help you up the career ladder today. You are ambitious and it will help you to have your associates on your side. Joining organisations and groups that will help you is another option. Be prepared to do whatever is necessary. Love is fun but unemotional.

VIRGO
With so many options open to you, the one that makes you the most money seems the most logical. Look at it long-term as this may mean a different decision. Your judgment is extremely good today so you can trust yourself to do what’s right. Lover and best friend is your ideal - is he both?

LIBRA
This is one of those good days, so use the Martian energy to take you where you want to be. When you make the effort, everything will fall into place. A new project could be the source of your financial success but you’ll still need other people, so don’t make rash decisions.

SCORPIO
Do keep a sharp eye on your health - with winter coming, throat problems are always a hazard for Scorpio. Correct your diet if necessary. You may need extra vitamins but check with a health professional. It will be worth taking more time out to think rather than taking action. Passion rules.

SAGITTARIUS
With your financial planet, Saturn, retrograde and Pluto retrograde in your money house, it is vital you don’t overspend. Rather than panic, just work a bit harder, making sure everyone of influence sees what you are doing! At least love-wise, today, you can have whatever you desire.

CAPRICORN
This should be a loving, romantic time but Saturn is suddenly making you feel a bit shy and inhibited. Don’t worry about it - it’ll be better tomorrow! Meantime, just tell your boyfriend how wonderful he is. Career-wise, re-assess but don’t make quick decisions.

AQUARIUS
Although your focus today is on your home and family, you still have itchy feet. Perhas you need to learn new skills or travel abroad. If thinking of moving, now is a good time to investigate your options. Get your family involved too. Love is highly physical - and very romantic.

PISCES
You are in active mode - you need to learn new skills, to discuss your latest ideas, to get on the phone, internet as well as visit your friends. This could all be quite tiring so make sure your health is kept in good order - enough sleep and healthy diet. Don’t be over-sensitive with your boyfriend. Just enjoy!

ARIES
You are in fighting mode, but if you become over confident you could act too quickly and lose it all. Slow down, relax and think before you speak…You are in a good financial space and now your boyfriend’s earnings will improve too. Harmony will reign.

You need to do what you want and to make things happen, but you are not too keen on being told what to do by anyone else. Instead of getting angry, just smile and agree and then do what you want to do. Listen, though - it might be useful! You seem more than usually powerful in love, and luckily, romantic too!

GEMINI
If you are feeling stressed, take time out alone or with your favourite boyfriend so that he can calm your nerves and stop you from being too moody. You’ll come to an agreement regarding your work if you aren’t too opinionated, otherwise you’ll just feel frustrated and depressed.

CANCER
Your love life might not be the easiest today - perhaps you’d prefer the relationship to be more than just sex. You thrive when your man is your soul mate, best friend as well as lover. Talk it over with him, and don’t become self-righteous.

LEO
Everything is going for you today - your career should be moving well, and finances look great, too. Don’t get excited if a colleague or friend doesn’t share the same values. Just stick to your principles, and keep your distance a bit - and smile! Love is lusty.

VIRGO
With so many opportunities opening up to you this month, today is the day to do what you want. You could get a bit emotional if challenged - not everyone wants to see you moving away. Let sensuality rule your love life.

LIBRA
Well, this month is all about transformation, including your love life, relationships, your sex life and your finances so it’s no wonder you could be feeling more than a little stressed. Finances look better, but don’t rush into anything. Listen first. Your man is generous with everything.

SCORPIO
Love rules these next few weeks, and life is more romantic and fun while singles will have more dates, too. You get on better with all your colleagues, so take advantage and meet up for a coffee. Love-wise, as want things your way, and are in the mood for some really passionate sex - but think of his needs too.

SAGITTARIUS
Your work and career are your important issues, but do watch that tongue of yours as it is more critical and sharp than usual, and you don’t want to lose important allies and friends. Your finances are still going through a bit of strain, and extravagance is out at the moment. Love? Yes please…

CAPRICORN
This is one of those really good days where everything seems to be falling into place - your way. Make things happen for yourself. Take the lead, don’t wait and consider or limit yourself - just go for it. Your home computer or car might give trouble. Sort it rather than getting stressed.

AQUARIUS
Your love life looks quite passionate and exciting, and you really can make your dreams and fantasies come true today. You also want more intimacy and real love so a quick one-night stand won’t suit you. You want things your way, so leave aggression out of it if you want harmony in your life.

PISCES
Is there a bit of stress in your love life or an argument at work? There are many opportunities opening up for you so keep everyone happy. A member of your family could get upset if you try to push your views on him. Good communication is the key - not high handed opinions.\

ARIES
Finances are starting to pick up really well, both yours and your boyfriend’s. This will make you feel a lot better and less worried about the future. Try not to be too opinionated - diplomacy will work best, especially towards your colleagues. Be creative in love.
]]> Mon, 22 Apr 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/21-april-2013 TAURUS
You have the energy to make everything happen for you, but if you can use your creative talents in an organised way you’ll really fly. Finances are starting to pick up again too. Love-wise, keep your distance from anyone rude or aggressive, but show your love to the man who really matters to you.

GEMINI
With so much going on in the stars today, you tend to take the opposite viewpoint to everyone else just to lend a new twist and make everyone think. You want everything your way, as usual, but a member of your family might not agree. Don’t take it personally! Calm your nerves through expressive sex.

CANCER
Relax with your favourite group of friends - maybe spiritual. This isn’t the weekend to spend time alone. If there’s no-one around, get on Skype or join a dating site, but be proactive. Love is all about candles, soft music and scented sheets to set the mood.

LEO
It might be Sunday, but your career and finances are your main concern as you direct all your energy to achieving what you want through your leadership skills. The difficulty will be for you to concentrate on just one thing at a time. Avoid being jealous, no matter how provoked!

VIRGO
With the Sun encouraging you to go for whatever you want with no limits, it doesn’t really matter what happens as you are in a win-win situation. Enjoy today, whatever it brings. Love-wise, you might seem a bit puritanical to outsiders, but your man knows what a sexy woman you really are.

LIBRA
Think about your financial situation - it’s very strong and there are changes happening, but with Saturn still retrograde, you could be worrying a lot which makes you overly critical. Try to go with the changes, rather than resisting them. Don’t expect perfection in love; just enjoy what you have.

SCORPIO
You’ll have a far happier time with your friends when you let them have their own way, and the same goes for your boyfriend. If you really want to enjoy more romance, you’ll have to give more love, warmth and care rather than criticising them.

SAGITTARIUS
You seem even more concerned with your daily work and career prospects than before. Now is the time to get your head down and do some hard work. Today, rest and relax and get your body into peak condition - and watch those finances! Someone isn’t being reliable today – could it be you?

CAPRICORN
This is the perfect time to relax and do what you want to do, so take time out and have some fun. Travel, or at least plan your next trip, see friends and let your creative spirit free from restrictions. Bring some affection into your love life, otherwise it will be just sex.

AQUARIUS
With winter on the horizon, it’s important you look after your body - take extra vitamins, eat healthily, rest and relax as well as exercise. Warm, loving relationships are the key with your family as well as with friends and your boyfriend.

PISCES
Your mind is sharper than usual now that your communication house is so active. Learn everything, and pick up as many facts and figures as you can - even so-called worthless information could come in handy. Love is warm, but don’t talk too much.

ARIES
You might be on a financial high, but this doesn’t mean you don’t have to work at it, plan and find new ways of increasing your bank balance. Focus and remember that energy follows thought so take time out today to work on your next strategy. Love is far sexier than you imagine.
]]> Sun, 21 Apr 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/20-april-2013 TAURUS
You know what you want and you’ve been working very hard to achieve it so, for many of you, now is the time to enjoy your life. Think: self-image, body, fashion, hair, diet and fitness. When you get into shape your whole world shapes up, too. In love, do you really show your feelings?

GEMINI
Don’t worry if you aren’t feeling your most self-confident or social. Everything is making you think of your life in a more spiritual, thoughtful way. You’ll find that you achieve far more when working alone and doing everything your way. Be fair in love.

CANCER
Mars moving in to Taurus is encouraging you to be in contact with friends this weekend. Your enthusiasm means joining up with others, playing and participating in group activities rather than being on your own. Don’t overload yourself, though - the last thing you need is burnout. Don’t try to control love.

LEO
Think about your long-term ambitions and goals. Now is the time to get out there, be seen and promote yourself. Make sure you’re looking your best as you’ll be in the public eye today. It should be easier to get the loan or mortgage you want. You need to shine – can your boyfriend handle it?

VIRGO
Suddenly it’s all go, and you have so many different interests you can’t decide what to do next. Take advantage of this time to try everything - who knows where your passion will take you? You have the confidence and optimism - go for what you want. If you are jealous, don’t show it.

LIBRA
With Mars joining the Sun and Venus in Taurus, you’ll be far more physical and hands on, paying great attention to the details. You’ll probably scrutinise your love life, too, but don’t make your boyfriend feel inadequate. There are better ways of dealing with everything.

SCORPIO
With all your energy directed towards your boyfriend, your friends and business partners, you’ll be inspired in many different ways. You’ll find it far easier to accomplish everything when you work with people rather than alone - hard for a Scorpio! Try not to be too stubborn today.

SAGITTARIUS
If you’re looking for a new job, you’ll find that your renewed enthusiasm will make you more competitive, and you’ll achieve far more. The same goes if playing sports or anything else which takes your interest. Don’t be aggressive or angry if you don’t get what you want immediately. Passion rules.

CAPRICORN
As Mars joins the Sun and Venus in Taurus, you start to put more enthusiasm into everything you do. Your creative talents are inspired, and you want more fun in your life. When you use your social skills, friendships flourish and your love life takes on a life of its own.

AQUARIUS
For someone so forward-thinking, this month sees you thinking more about the past and wanting to share your feelings with your family as well as finding comfort in your love relationship. It’s a good time to think about a business venture from home, too. You might even let your boyfriend take the lead in bed.

PISCES
Mars moving into Taurus sees you more communicative, wanting to chat about things that matter, gaining new experiences and learning new skills. You can see your goals now, and the aim is to reach them by letting everyone know what you have to offer. In love, keep the romance alive as only you know how.

ARIES
This is not the time to neglect your finances. Everything looks good, but you need to ensure that you invest wisely and don’t take any unnecessary risks. Think long-term, even when socialising - who will be able to help and who will hinder your progress? Loving romance rules.
]]> Sat, 20 Apr 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/19-april-2013 ARIES
It’s fine to be full of energy, wanting to take the lead and change your life, but when you become too confident and try to do too much it will all end in stress and burnout. Then you’ll find you make mistakes and end up worse off than before. If you won’t take time out for yourself, then do so for your boyfriend.

TAURUS
As the Sun moves into your own sign, it’s time to take advantage of the energy to bring you everything you want. Think about your dreams, fantasise and prioritise - and let it all become a reality. Love will be far more sensual, and your body seems to come alive.

GEMINI
As the Sun moves into Taurus today it is time for less action and spending more time thinking about what you put out to the world and what you keep back just for you. Spiritual matters are more important, no matter what your beliefs. Indulge your boyfriend as much as yourself.

CANCER
The Sun moving into Taurus encourages you to be more altruistic, helpful and generous with both time and money, especially to charitable or religious groups. Just don’t be taken in by a charismatic guru as you could lose everything. Try not to be controlling in love – give, don’t take.

LEO
Your long-term aims, ambitions and career goals become far more important now that the Sun has moved into Taurus, and it’s far easier to achieve goals as the sun makes you even more charismatic, like the shiny bright star you are. Your boyfriend loves your lust, but not your outsize ego.

VIRGO
The Sun’s move into Taurus sees a huge rise in your self-confidence as you suddenly remember that you can do or be anything. There are many opportunities opening up to you - this weekend you need to think carefully about what you do want – like, having more you- time. In love, let femininity rule.

LIBRA
Your finances look better than they’ve been for a while, but you still need to heed Saturn’s warning not to be extravagant as now is the time to look at investments, loans and your long-term aims rather than spend. Meet up with friends this weekend - you feel full of life and you need stimulation. Sex has to be fun, too.

SCORPIO
This is a great time for single Scorps to meet new prospective partners, for all of you to make new friends and enjoy a social busy time as the Sun moves into Taurus. This weekend, though, think about your long-term career goals but don’t push too hard for them today. Love is a feast.

SAGITTARIUS
If you are looking for a new job or promotion, now is the time it could happen - be seen to be hard-working, dedicated and organised. You have the strength, the optimism and energy, and your dreams could finally be coming true. Love is equally ambitious - go for it!

CAPRICORN
Now that the Sun is moving into Taurus, you are able to let go of family and domestic worries and have more fun. Today, though, you still need to be practical, especially over shared financial issues and assets. Even though you want more fun, you are still a bit stiff – relax!

AQUARIUS
The Sun moves out of Aries into Taurus, allowing you to spend more time with your family, sorting out domestic issues and resolving old conflicts. You will want to share your feelings both with family and with your boyfriend; this isn’t a time for shallow fun. Love is unpredictable, but highly passionate.

PISCES
A Taurean Sun puts the emphasis on communication, from buying a new car or computer to spending time to neighbours, on community affairs and with your siblings. Health matters today, so use up some energy on exercise and other ways of keeping fit, such as active, playful sex.
]]> Fri, 19 Apr 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/18-april-2013 ARIES
With your impetus, energy and creative imagination you’ll achieve everything you set out to do. It could be quite scary - to others, if not to yourself. Be decisive and let your dreams come true. Finding love confusing? Don’t let your boyfriend know how much emotional hurt he is causing.

TAURUS
You can persuade anyone to do anything today, especially your family - so think, dream and fantasise as it could all come true. You are at your most appealing; use your assets! Your finances look good, too, but this doesn’t mean you should be extravagant. Popularity rules, but don’t make him jealous!

GEMINI
You are one class act today so get your business associates, colleagues and friends onto your side - you can do it all, be it all, have it all, including your dream job and the perfect guy. There are no limits to what you can achieve. The only problem will be burnout if you try and do too much.

CANCER
Neptune says you should give your imagination free rein, and with so many opportunities opening up your highest, most impossible dreams could suddenly start to become reality. Your finances look good, so no problem there. If he doesn’t share your principles, it might not be a winning formula.

LEO
With so much going on in your life, it will be hard to keep up with it all. Luckily, you have the ability to do many things at once and you keep your colleagues your on side. Travel is well-starred, but keep your temper under control if you have to change your plans. You shine in love.

VIRGO
You could do with some quiet time on your own - this could be the perfect time, even if colleagues and friends are off to the club or pub. Visualise and fantasize about what you want - with the Sun about to move into Taurus, it could soon come true. Love is lively.

LIBRA
Plan your evening with friends, colleagues and your boyfriend. Whatever and whomever makes you laugh - this isn’t the time for stress; you want everything to be light and fun - except for your sex life, where a bit of passion would be welcome.

SCORPIO
Getting your career and work organised and more successful is your aim, and with Neptune on side, urging you to use your creative imagination and intuitive qualities, it won’t be long before you see it all happening. The trick is to follow your passion. The same goes in your love life.

SAGITTARIUS
Enjoying your life is still a priority, and it’s time to plan your next trip or find your next guru to follow. Love and romance are alive, but your huge ego might make you a bit insufferable, so cool it. Let your imagination rule your sex life if you really want to keep him happy.

CAPRICORN
This is the best day for making the right contacts and meeting the very people who could take your life up a few notches. There could be some tension at home - be honest without being blunt or rude. Getting angry won’t work. You expect your boyfriend to share your ambitions – then, passion will reign.

AQUARIUS
With Saturn retrograde in your career house, things might have seemed a bit static, despite your many creative ideas. Well, if no-one was listening before, they will now! Luckily, your romantic life seems to be improving. Keep it bold, loving and unpredictable if you want to keep him on his toes.

PISCES
Today is all about your work and making money, so consider your position very carefully. Neptune, your personal planet, is stressing your need to fantasise and dream, so that it can all become reality. Your love life should be all about romance. Don’t make too much work out of it.

]]> Thu, 18 Apr 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/17-april-2013 ARIES
You can make huge career progress as you want to make it all happen for you, but you’ll make even more progress if you listen to what others have to say, too. You could even find yourself working with them. Let your boyfriend make you feel calm and secure as well as very sexy.

TAURUS
Of course you’ve made the right decisions, but you still need to watch your finances and not to be too quick or rash. Your intuition is good, but needs to be tempered with common sense. Comforting cosiness is needed, along with satisfying sex.

GEMINI
Should you feel people are not following your lead today, you could decide to do something almost revolutionary in your need to be noticed. This could have the opposite effect and even cost you financially. It’s really important that your boyfriend is your best friend - don’t treat him badly.

CANCER
Everything is going your way, but cool it a bit and it will get even better. Financially, this is a really good time as everyone is giving you support. Just avoid stomping on anyone else in your race to the top. Use some of that Venus charm. Your love will boost your confidence even higher.

LEO
With so much going on, excitement and travel-wise, it isn’t surprising you’ve got no time for anyone else. You certainly know what you wa6nt, and are very self-motivated - but does your boyfriend go along with you? Try a little more loving sweetness.

VIRGO
You are doing everything with passion and intensity, and your strong willpower ensures you get what you want as you are more magnetic than usual and have many followers. Luckily, your business sense is strong so finances look good, too. Love is moody, but highly sexual.

LIBRA
Not everyone will go along with your latest ideas so try not push them too hard or it could turn into an argument. Try to compromise a bit! At the very least, control any angry outbursts. Great news is that your love life will be sexually highly fulfilling.

SCORPIO
This is a good time to think of yourself for a while, otherwise your health could deteriorate as you suffer from burnout. You’d probably love to run away from it all. Do something that improves your self-confidence and makes you feel happy. You need to be mothered – do it yourself if no-one else is around.

SAGITTARIUS
Do try to avoid jealousy in your love life today. With so many planets in hard aspect it might not have the results you expected. Keep him on your side with some erotic lovemaking - too much emotion could make things worse. At work your creative imagination works wonders.

CAPRICORN
There could be some conflict at home, either with your family or with your boyfriend. Instead of overreacting, try to see things from their point of view. Being more tolerant will make your whole life easier, and love will be cosy and comfortable once more.

AQUARIUS
Rather than being aggressive today, try persuasiveness instead. This will keep your colleagues on your side and they’ll listen and work with you. Your sense of humour is usually strong, so use it. Your home is where you’ll relax and feel inspired.

PISCES
Your finances are still strong, but today it’s important that you show a different side of your personality rather than just making money. Be creative and fun. It’s also important that you don’t let others get away with not paying you. Your sensitivity is a huge turn-on.
]]> Wed, 17 Apr 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/16-april-2013 ARIES
Things happen and, although it seems stressful now, it will ultimately be for the better - even if you do have to move home or have an argument with your family. Everything is going well for you, and your finances are improving - just keep the lines of communication open and friendly. Love is supportive.

TAURUS
Using your remarkable inner strength, even when feeling a bit down, you’ll be able to talk to everyone with ease, charm and diplomacy. The financial rewards will be worth any angst as business associates support your vision. Love is just what you need - a shoulder to cry on.

GEMINI
It’s fine to spend time on your own, working out what to do for the best, but you know you have to take action sometime soon, and today the aspects look good for both your career and finance. Discuss with a trusted colleague or friend. Don’t give in to gossip. Love is more emotional than usual, and moodiness rules.

CANCER
Be ready with the tissues - you’ll wallow in ‘poor me’ energy if friends and colleagues don’t support your aims today. You want attention from those with influence, but not with red eyes, so slap on the concealer and smile! In bed is where your self-confidence really glows.

LEO
Let your intuition guide you today as it will make everything clearer. With so many opportunities opening up to you, you are bound to be in the public eye - just relax, let it happen and enjoy the ride. Over the next few weeks your career prospects get even stronger. Love is both hot and tender.

VIRGO
Life might not be as peaceful as you’d like it to be, but that doesn’t mean you have to agree with what everyone else wants. Enjoy a more social time as you pursue your interests, though the pleasures of staying home with your boyfriend aren’t to be dismissed, either.

LIBRA
Despite an outer show of love and co-operation, there is an intensity about everything you do regarding your business, finances and even your social life. It’s important that you share the same values as your boyfriend if you are to avoid misunderstandings and arguments. Today, romance rules.

SCORPIO
Be cooperative and helpful at work if you want the support of your colleagues - there is so much going on that you can’t afford to be ill or stressed. Let your intuition guide you. Love will be the panacea for all your ills, with many surprises in store for both of you.

SAGITTARIUS
Your sociable attitude at work makes you friends, but it is your romantic life that’s the main focus as you become more passionate, intense and ready for a long-term partnership. Don’t waste your energy, even though if there is no long-term future.

CAPRICORN
Love doesn’t just mean a sexual relationship; it also covers your attitude towards everyone else. Today, you’ll feel the gratitude of those less fortunate than yourself if you take the time to help. Your boyfriend will understand the difference between real love rather than a quick sexual fix.

AQUARIUS
Good communication with your family is necessary and easier as Venus moves into Taurus. They’ll be the ones to give you support if there is uncertainty at work. The last thing you want to do is over-react, so keep your cool. Being super-sensitive, your love life could mean a fight ends in wild lovemaking.

PISCES
This is one of the best days all month, despite your over-sensitivity. Keep your charm and sense of humour handy at all times and everyone will eat out of your hand. Romance rules, but use your intuition to know what is real and what isn’t. Love is creative.

Venus moving into autumnal Taurus suggests this is the time for you to get more mellow. You can expect your income to increase after all your hard work. Spend on luxury items that will increase in value. Love heals everything.

TAURUS
As your personal planet, Venus, moves into your own sign, your sense of humour and willingness to help as well as your innate charm will make it far easier for you to get everything you want, so be brave and decisive. Demand attention from your boyfriend, and let your increased beauty keep him on his toes.

GEMINI
With your quick talking and restless wit, no-one realises that you could be hiding some secrets. What is it - a secret love affair? Entering into negotiations with a rival company? Don’t be taken in by false flattery - you could end up the loser. Love is restless.

CANCER
With so many opportunities opening up to you, it will be hard to decide exactly which one to choose. Joining new groups and organisations could help you focus your attention on what will ultimately bring you the most happiness. Don’t be too eager to please him - let him satisfy you, instead.

LEO
With everyone now noticing you, you need all your diplomatic skills and to emphasise your charm and beauty - in other words, let everyone see just how clever and co-operative an asset you are. Promotion could be yours. Commitment with space is your ideal, but what does he think?

VIRGO
You are beginning to lighten up and see your life has wider horizons so, as Europe warms up, now is the time to plan your holiday abroad, especially if you are a bit of a ‘culture vulture’. Or, you might prefer to socialise more with people from different cultures. Love is still a bit moody and fickle.

LIBRA
As Venus moves into Taurus, your interest in partnerships and sharing common goals and values with your boyfriend becomes more intense. Even new friendships need to have more of a reason than just being fun. Your need for sexual fulfilment is greater now, but today, keep it light and fun.

SCORPIO
Use all your renewed social graces to get you what you want - friends, your boyfriend (singles, you could easily meet someone new and exciting now) as well your work all bring you the benefits you need, despite your personal planet retrograde. Don’t waver - make a decision!

SAGITTARIUS
It’s now time to ensure that your work environment is calm and beautiful - if it means wielding a paintbrush, buying plants or flowers, hanging a couple of paintings, do it. Keeping fit will increase your chances of meeting the right man, so join a gym or sports club, and be prepared for a workout.

CAPRICORN
This could be an expensive month as you are in the mood for fun, pleasure, an increased social life and adventures into the unknown. You are sexier than usual, too, and ready for a new image with an updated wardrobe or hairstyle. This is time for an unexpected you - in every way.

AQUARIUS
You want more emotional intimacy, to spend more time at home with your boyfriend and family, and to socialise in your own domestic environment. Renovations and décor are on your mind - anything from a total refit to adding new cushions. Your boyfriend loves your new ideas.

PISCES
You can persuade anyone to do what you want them to. Now that Venus in Taurus all your relationships improve. Your siblings want to spend more time with you, and your local community wants your input - everyone is charmed by your gentle humour. Love looks more solid, too, as your self-confidence grows.

You always thrive on new challenges, and now that Mercury has moved into your sign you have so many new ideas it’ll be surprising if you finish any of them. Try concentrating just on one or two, be decisive and you’ll achieve it all. New ideas in your love life will be exciting - for your man, too.

TAURUS
If you can’t work out what to do next, you can always ask - but it’s best for you to take quiet time out to think so you come up with the creative answers that really inspire you. Your self-confidence will soar, too. You are so preoccupied, you probably only have time for a quick love session - if that…

GEMINI
If a love session doesn’t promise excitement, you’d rather expend your energy on your whirlwind social calendar - commitment seems a bit dull, especially if your heart really isn’t in it. You could make a new business contact which will open even more doors.

CANCER
You could receive some very good news regarding your career goals soon. In the meantime, get all your papers in order so that you’ll be ready to make your decision. You have the self- confidence, so don’t limit yourself. Your love life also lightens up, and it’s far more fun than usual.

LEO
Mercury moving into Aries puts the emphasis on your friends and family living far away. Your understanding of different peoples and cultures broadens, and this would be a good time to plan your next trip, learn a foreign language or meet up with new people. You need more space - away from your man?

VIRGO
As your personal planet moves into Aries, you want to develop more of your talents and skills to make you more marketable and earn you more money. You certainly are extremely resourceful, so let the old you go, and bring in the new feistier, more independent woman. You could be quite fickle in love.

LIBRA
Most partnerships and joint ventures are beneficial to you, Ms. Libra, as long as you employ a lawyer to sort out the negotiations, the contracts and all the nitty-gritty detail. You want it to happen - but don’t sign anything until everything is in order. Sex is invigorating, but a bit emotionally cool.

SCORPIO
Workwise, everything is going for you - new projects, amazing ideas, and the will to get on with everything that has to be done. The worst thing is that you’ll suffer burn-out. Take care of your health at this time - a good diet, some exercise and early nights will help. Sexually, you are driven tonight, what about the emotion?

SAGITTARIUS
With so much going on in your favour, why are you feeling stressed? Mercury in Aries suggests a month of social heaven for you - stimulating conversation, rushing from one friend to another, travel with your boyfriend… Love and sex? Dramatic, inspired…

CAPRICORN
Your family, close friends and your domestic life are your main focus today as Mercury moves into Aries. Expect some disagreements if you express unwelcome opinions - add a touch of charm and sweetness to the mix? Don’t feel guilty if you have fun in bed…

AQUARIUS
The only problem you have with Mercury moving into Aries is how to find time to do everything that interests you as you’ll be pulled in so many different directions you’ll feel like play dough… Ideas are flowing, your throat will become hoarse with too much talking… Your libido buzzes…

PISCES
Getting down to the routine of paying bills, checking accounts and bank statements, revising your investments, and sorting through paperwork and filing are all boosted by Mercury moving into Aries. This is good time to buy a car, computer equipment. Prioritise? Great sex will relieve any tension.

Think how best you can use your creative energy and go for it. Relationships look difficult, probably nothing too serious, but just frustrating as you can’t seem to move forward. The new man you fancy may try to impose his values on to you. Sexually, it’s time to party!

TAURUS
Is it time to try a new financial tactic? You have the energy and enthusiasm, but take time today to think about it before rushing in, no matter how good it looks. Your intuition should guide you in the right way. Love should be fun and quite glam this weekend.

GEMINI
There’s a bit of pressure, but you should find time to see friends this weekend. They’ll try to boss you around a bit, but you are well able to stand up for yourself. Your love life is a whirlwind of romance, and a lot of fun.

CANCER
You are still in one of the most active times of the year with new career prospects and new opportunities. Your finances look good, too. Do watch your health - give yourself time out this weekend to relax and de-stress. Your love life looks a bit lighter, and there is more fun and laughter around.

LEO
If you’ve been taking advantage of the New Moon, you are probably looking forward to a relaxing weekend, but it seems that your friends and colleagues still need you. There is an opportunity to move on from your present domestic arrangements - don’t rush into anything. Love needs space to develop.

VIRGO
An unexpected opportunity to transform yourself and your life could crop up through a teacher or mentor - or it could just mean the start of a detox diet. Your love life is also up for change with opportunities for some hot sex and fun, but it seems nothing too serious.

LIBRA
Financial structures seem to be unexpectedly improving as you change your priorities. Is there a new partnership hovering in the background? Certainly there are new opportunities coming your way. Love is all about keeping it cool.

SCORPIO
If you don’t take charge of your life, transforming your work and using your creative talents, you’ll just be stuck in a rut. Think big, but don’t act yet - just consider all the opportunities, and be ready to jump in when the time is right. You need your libido to be totally satisfied - is he ready?

SAGITTARIUS
You might be dying to take action, but you do need to ensure you have all the facts and figures, as well as your creative plan, otherwise you won’t get the help you need. Socially, this is a great weekend - don’t miss out any invitations. Love has no limits.

CAPRICORN
There’s work to be done, but take time out to relax with family as there are some unexpected issues to be sorted out with them and you need to be fully energised, especially if you are about to take advantage of some new domestic opportunities. Don’t feel guilty - just enjoy the ride.

AQUARIUS
Romance is in the air, and there’s a lot of talk, flirtation, fun and romance but perhaps not much emotion involved at this stage. Talking about money and your priorities is important - but keep it light, otherwise everyone will stop listening no matter how many facts and ideas you offer.

PISCES
Finances look good, and so it’s a good time to think about your domestic environment and property deals whether renting, buying or decorating. Your travel plans could cost you more than you’d budgeted for, and might not be a good plan at this time. Sex doesn’t seem a priority today.

Pluto retrogrades today, putting pressure on you to achieve everything you set out to do, despite frustrations and setbacks. Is it time to sit back, look at what you are doing and ask yourself if you are going about it the right way? Be aware of what is really important to you. Is he virile enough for you today?

TAURUS
Trying to do too much - chasing rainbows, being the businesswoman, the romantic lover and the sportswoman could suddenly seem exhausting. Ask yourself if this is really you? Pluto says just be yourself - you don’t need to be anything else. Let your love life be comforting rather than a marathon.

GEMINI
Don’t be too obsessed by money, acquiring assets and ensuring you gain power through your business and love partnerships. First look at yourself and think about what you really want from your life and how what you want impacts on those around you. Sensitivity rules your love life.

CANCER
Even if you’ve been totally committed to your love or business partnership, Pluto is asking you to think about whether you’ve been manipulating everything to gain personal power. It’s time now to change your perspective - for both of your sakes. Your boyfriend trusts you to be there for him - are you?

LEO
If you’ve been far too serious and demanding, Pluto retrograde from today is suggesting that your attitude towards your home, your partner, your work and your health might do with a bit of lightening up! Too much control can have an adverse effect. Love is hot - but you need fun, too.

VIRGO
Rather than being too controlling over your partner or perhaps children, think how you can bring more fun and laughter into your life. Retrograde Pluto tells you to use your creative and artistic talents and make an effort to lighten up. Everyone’s life will improve, and your sex life will be much richer.

LIBRA
Do you want to make a break with someone or something that has been upsetting you? You don’t have to be dramatic, but use the past experiences to give you strength and inspiration. The more attention you give your man, the more you get back.

SCORPIO
As much as you like to keep your secrets and resent interference, Pluto moving retrograde makes this impossible - but says that when you really get involved in local community projects and help your neighbours, everyone wins. Does your man really enjoy being bossed around? Think up sexy ways of keeping him on side.

SAGITTARIUS
Pluto retrograde is teaching you to be self-reliant and to conserve, invest and increase your assets and income through stronger spiritual values and inner strength rather than using money to manipulate everyone. Winding down with a drink this evening? Don’t tell your man all your secrets - well, not all at once…

CAPRICORN
If you often find it hard to accept advice, now is the time to balance your need for control with allowing others to have an input too - it will be extremely liberating as you’ll have time to actually have some fun. You might even let your boyfriend take control in the bedroom.

AQUARIUS
Instead of quietly working on how to control and manipulate everyone to do things for you, start believing in your own intuitive powers and stop worrying about yourself. This will be hard, but you’ll be so much happier! You’ll show far more love towards your boyfriend too while the sex remains enviably erotic.

PISCES
You know you don’t have to have anyone’s approval and that you can just decide for yourself what you want, and go for it. It won’t be easy, but Pluto retrograde urges you to work with other people, to help them achieve their aims as much as you want to achieve yours. Your boyfriend will pamper you, too.
]]> Fri, 12 Apr 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/11-april-2013 ARIES
You want to make your finances shine and you have bags of enthusiasm and energy, but you could be a bit unrealistic - keep to the facts and figures instead of what you hope is true, otherwise you’ll just feel frustrated and worried. Sex is carnal rather than sweet.

TAURUS
A good day, though some of your comments might upset colleagues, friends and especially your boyfriend. Rather than coming across as too critical, think first - especially in bed with your man. The New Moon is still activating any new projects and schemes - don’t delay!

GEMINI
Listen to what your colleagues have to say rather than pushing on in your own way otherwise your thinking will become too narrow and you’ll miss some of the vital information. Relax a bit so that you don’t become frustrated and stressed. In love, you seem tougher than usual, but it’s even more fun.

CANCER
There is a good balance this month between your career and your home, though today making money is the focus as you concentrate on career issues. An artistic project needs patience, and you have to think creatively if you’re going to make it work. Love-wise, you are the steady one today - what is he up to?

LEO
Balance is needed between thought and action. If you wait too long you’ll miss out on the opportunities, but if you rush in you could lose everything. Saturn is trying to stress you out. Let your home be a place of peace rather than a battleground, and don’t let rigidity rule your love life.

VIRGO
You are eager to transform yourself and your life, and you are ready to rush in and take the initiative. The trouble is you could try to do too much and it all goes pear-shaped. Don’t worry - persist in an orderly fashion, and your dreams will start to come true. Love is a powerful motivation, too.

LIBRA
Love and passion rule, but are they just a dream; a figment of your imagination? Don’t be taken in by a fast talker. It’s a bore coming down to earth, but sometimes it’s necessary. You need more money? Try to see the problem from every angle so you know how to move forward.

SCORPIO
No matter what is going on, only you can make decisions that are best for you. Try not to worry too much, though with so many planets in your health house it’ll be hard, so think creatively instead! Relationships look good - not just a love connection, but also the support you get from your girlfriends.

SAGITTARIUS
Your creative imagination is working overtime, but sometimes you just have to stick to the facts, especially if being told some juicy gossip. The alternative could land you in very hot water. A member of your family could well need your help. You need your man’s attention - even more than usual!

CAPRICORN
Your creative imagination is working overtime, but instead of rushing into the project, wait a couple of days when it will be easier to discuss with everyone else involved. You’ll still achieve, but faster as you’ll have total co-operation. Don’t be too bossy in love - let romance rule.

AQUARIUS
Concentrate on your work and career, and getting yourself as organised and up- to-date as possible, as this is one area where you won’t feel too stressed - despite the disagreements over financial affairs. Don’t even broach the subject today; just think and plan. In love, it is the dark side of the Moon.

PISCES
Your travel arrangements could be in for some changes, so expect delays rather than getting upset by them. If things don’t go exactly according to plan, don’t worry - just re-schedule and get on with it, no matter how frustrating. Love will dispel any frustrations.

The conjunction of the Sun, Moon, Mars and Venus means that you are dynamically in control of your whole life, and you can make everything happen today. Remember this conjunction is hitting everyone, so it won’t be all plain sailing…

TAURUS
You’ll have great success if you do everything from behind-the-scenes on your own rather than with others as you can use all your inner strength and resolve to achieve your dreams and goals. Your love life is highly active, too, and fantasies are explored and realised in a very earthy way.

GEMINI
With so much energy being devoted to friends, organisations and business associates you’ll tire yourself out, so restrict yourself to only a few important activities and see your career going from strength to strength. Keep some energy for your love life - you don’t often have this much passion.

CANCER
Career success is really promoted by the conjunction of the Sun, Moon, Mars and Venus, and with so many different opportunities opening up it will be hard to know which direction to go in. Jupiter still says take time out alone to think - an answer will come. Spontaneity rules your sex life.

LEO
With your personal star, the Sun, in conjunction with the Moon, Mars and Venus, you have so much energy that no-one, not even you, can predict what you’ll do next. Try not to manage everyone and everything. Pursue your own interests and let everyone else follow theirs. Love is hot, romantic and exhausting.

VIRGO
Your personal planet, Mercury, talks about love, but your main interest is in getting your finances in order. If you share a bank account, property or business, it’s vital that you pay more attention. It’s time to call in debts and favours. Think about love tonight - passion will really rise to the challenge.

LIBRA
You are inspired by everything and everyone today, but you need the support of those around you to really accomplish what you want. Don’t even consider time out alone - it won’t happen, so welcome all intrusions. Your boyfriend offers passionate, but uncomplicated love tonight.

SCORPIO
You are more competitive and passionate about your job, and ready to get on with every challenge thrown at you. Don’t worry about what others are doing - just concentrate on your own work; but don’t overdo it. Organise your social life; be creative and don’t limit the opportunities. Love is emotionally cool, but active.

SAGITTARIUS
The last thing you want is to limit your pursuit of pleasure and fun, and you aren’t really interested in anyone or anything getting in the way of what you want to do. Everyone else has similarly active energy, and may not agree with your ideas so you’ll have to compromise. In love, you aren’t in the mood for intensity. Keep it light.

CAPRICORN
Domestic issues take priority while your career aspirations keep simmering away nicely, perhaps including a new business venture or working from home. This is the time to sort out household repairs and décor while you still have the ideas, inspiration and time. Love is powerful.

AQUARIUS
You have so many ideas that you’ll find it hard to get off the phone, stop talking, arranging meetings and exchanging information. Your siblings and even your neighbours want a piece of the action, too, so don’t leave them out. You don’t want anything heavy or too emotional - fun and light will do.

PISCES
Working on your finances will bring you huge benefits. You have the energy and inspiration to do whatever it takes to bring you the lifestyle and freedom you need. Don’t waste time - get organised today! Love-wise, your boyfriend respects your unusually independent spirit.
]]> Wed, 10 Apr 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/09-april-2013 ARIES
Ok, you know more than everyone else, you have better ideas and are quicker off the mark, but you still need your colleagues and friends, so don’t upset them by telling them they are wrong. Be the generous person you are, especially with their feelings. If you’re in the mood, don’t wait!

TAURUS
Time out alone will help you get everything into perspective. Remember that not even you can anticipate every eventuality, so go with the flow and enjoy the ride, no matter how different, as today is one of the best all months for both your career and your love life. Indulge all of your sexual needs.

GEMINI
Telling everyone what to do will undermine your strengths. Go gently on them, no matter how passionate you are about the subject. After all, being a Gemini, your ideas could change tomorrow. Adventure calls in the bedroom where there are no inhibitions.

CANCER
Your career is even more active than before, and your goals are in sight now. You’ve been having some disagreements with your boyfriend - does he really support your ambitions? Talk to him rather than hiding your feelings, and listen to his worries. Your love life will be far stronger.

LEO
You are moving into your top career month - so in the meantime listen, learn as much as you can, and don’t upset your colleagues by telling them what to do. Step back and let them do their own thing and make their own mistakes. In bed, use your intuition - it will be right on the button.

VIRGO
This is the month to transform your life to whatever you want it to be. Use every opportunity that opens up to you and your career will really take off in a new direction. Your inner voice might tell you to be careful, so you’ll have to argue back. In sex, your man won’t know what hit him.

LIBRA
This is one of those days where everything is in your favour - love and friendships are really strong, colleagues are willing to help and support, and new opportunities are opening up for travel or study. The only setback could be at home where you need some fast talking. Love is a challenge.

SCORPIO
The first few weeks of April are never really your best time, though today your career and love life aren’t suffering too badly. Concentrate on your love life as your love planet is in good aspect to Mars so real love combines well with active, passionate sex.

SAGITTARIUS
You are a lot of fun to be around and your creative talents are working overtime. When you drop that know-it-all attitude and concentrate on getting all the facts and figures straight you’ll achieve even more. Sex is a bit of a marathon.

CAPRICORN
Finances are strong today, if a bit unpredictable, and while your career is moving forward your love life could flourish too, so why all the stress? Use the energy to make everything work for you. Let your boyfriend relax you as only he knows how.

AQUARIUS
Today is all about communication and the exchange of ideas. This, of course, means that what you thought yesterday could easily change today. Life is exciting but totally unpredictable. The only answer is to embrace change and enjoy the ride.

PISCES
You feel strong and independent, revelling in a prosperous month and ready for whatever challenges the universe throws at you next. Good communication is key, so don’t push for your own way. Discuss everything in a calm, peaceful manner. Your love life could be more active, though.
]]> Tue, 09 Apr 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/08-april-2013 ARIES
You will say and do exactly what you want today - just avoid being too bossy, impatient or arguing with colleagues. Being competitive is fine, but lace it with charm and humour. Even if you aren’t really interested in what your boyfriend has to say, pretend! Otherwise, love-wise, you’ll lose out.

TAURUS
You seem more powerful than usual, knowing exactly what you want - just think of others, too. Luckily, you find it easy to mix your strength with femininity so that you have the best of both worlds. You do need some time out alone, or to enjoying some earthy lovemaking with your favourite guy.

GEMINI
Being bright and interested in everything going on around as well as in what your friends and colleagues are up to makes you very popular. This is a great day for networking and socialising with friends. Love should be an adventure involving all the senses.

CANCER
Career issues are still uppermost, but let’s hope no-one tries to take advantage of you today as you are not only highly intuitive, but quick to react. You’d like your love life to be equally steamy. A touch of danger will add to the experience.

LEO
You are able to react quickly today which is just as well as there is so much going on, you can’t afford to be set in your ways. Single Leos, you have the opportunity to meet someone new and exciting - maybe unlike your usual friends which is a huge turn on, too.

VIRGO
Even if you don’t feel your most confident, hold your head high, don your highest heels and strut your stuff. Being overly critical of others isn’t a good idea, so swallow your comments and smile as sweetly as you can in order for your career not to suffer. A sexual workout will help.

LIBRA
Your popularity increases this month, and especially with the Moon in your love house. Use those flashing eyes to your best advantage, both with your boyfriend and at work. Discuss a health problem with experts, and don’t burn the candle at both ends.

SCORPIO
If you do too much work, you’ll get overtired and become stressed and ill. Calm down! You’ll get through so much more if you do. The good news is about your sex life – this might not be love but it’s highly active, glamorous and enviable.

SAGITTARIUS
You are the centre of your Universe, and everyone around knows it as you show them how to live their lives. You’ll actually get more help and love if you show a little more towards everyone else? Otherwise, you could find you are the only one who loves you.

CAPRICORN
If you are too forceful in the way you express your opinions, even if you are right you’ll find everyone will rebel rather than go along with you. Moderation is needed. At home, when you co-operate you’ll find everyone enthusiastic and co-operative too. Love is powerfully sexual.

AQUARIUS
All your ideas are OTT and out of the box, and if someone objects you could get quite argumentative. Cool it! Get your finances in order and discuss with experts before putting your proposals out there. Luck is with you! Use up your energy in explosive sex.

PISCES
Hot, steamy heat rules in all areas of your life. He might think you are sweet and uncomplicated but he’s in for a big surprise! Finances are getting better by the day as you know what you want and how to get it. The time is right to discuss your projects with those of influence.

Despite your usually independent spirit, today you are ready to do everything with your boyfriend, almost merging in the spirit of compromise. Has he ever seen you so tolerant? You are in the mood for strenuous lovemaking, too. Lucky man!

TAURUS
Adventure calls today, so stop hiding away and get out there, preferably with your boyfriend as well as other friends. Don’t just dream - do it! You can be and have anything you want - just keep it light and playful.

GEMINI
You have all the oomph, energy and enthusiasm to do and be whatever you choose. You might be tempted to do too much, but that’s better than doing nothing - as long as you don’t become too greedy. Will you have time for love?

CANCER
You are ready to hop on a plane, grab your car keys and drive off into the distance. You have lots of options and being away could put them all into perspective. Your career prospects look great, too, and your enthusiasm is building. Love is healing.

LEO
Don’t just pay your taxes and bills, investigate and see what you really owe. If you’ve applied for a bank loan, this could come through, now, too, so don’t limit yourself. A friend could exaggerate his importance - don’t get taken in. Love is romantic, but a bit of a mystery.

VIRGO
Someone could promise you something which just isn’t true, so be careful and check before you go ahead, especially in business partnerships. Don’t lose your common sense. Love-wise, you are more unpredictable than usual, enchanting your boyfriend.

LIBRA
An air of mystery surrounds you today – it’s intriguing, and keeps your boyfriend on his toes. Let your intuition guide you, but don’t use it as a substitute for hard work. Being in your home surroundings will help you release any pressure or tension with inspired love making.

SCORPIO
Your imagination is taking you along paths you haven’t investigated. Let your intuition guide you and your creative talents will make your work really ‘zing’. Don’t be too complacent or extravagant, though - wait until the money is in your account. Love is a magical dream.

SAGITTARIUS
This isn’t your most practical of days, so listen to your intuition by all means but it is by using your common sense that you’ll win. It just might be best not to make any hard and fast decisions today - wait a few days if you can? Quiet time alone will help.

CAPRICORN
You don’t like to show your feelings, hiding them under bluster and being too busy, but today you operate from emotions and feelings rather than common sense. Chatting to friends and family will help you lighten up. Loyalty wins in your love life, but you can be daring, too.

AQUARIUS
You need today to combine your usual interest in method and order with your romantic, passionate side - you’ll be surprised at what you achieve, from the mundane - like making money - to reaching a state of ecstasy in your love life you’ve never imagined.

PISCES
You could easily drown in your emotions today. Your imagination works overtime, and the stars are urging you to bring your dreams to reality. Just make sure you don’t lose your independence, especially if you ask for financial assistance from your family. Being playful rules your love life.
]]> Sun, 07 Apr 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/06-april-2013 ARIES
This will be quite a heavy, emotional weekend - even for a powerful woman like you. It’ll feel like swimming in hot porridge as you get nowhere fast and overheat in the process. Stick with it - you’ll get there, discovering your true potential in the process. Your unusual femininity wins.

TAURUS
You are your own worst enemy when it comes to finance, and you’ll lose an important relationship if you compromise on your values. Let your intuition guide you. The stars are on your side, but you must decide whether to focus on the positive or the negative. Expect an emotional, but very sexual see-saw.

GEMINI
Everyone is on your side, urging you to follow your heart and achieve all your goals and aspirations, and you expect your boyfriend to support your ambitions, too. However, if you are too self-indulgent you could lose all their support. May the powers be with you!

CANCER
Self-pity is your biggest problem this weekend, especially if you’ve been overdoing it. You are probably better off giving yourself time out on your own, re-charging those inner batteries while planning your next move. It’s exciting!

LEO
With so much going on in your life, you must remember that you can’t do it all, no matter how hard you try. You probably won’t be able to lighten up this weekend, but if you concentrate on just one or two projects, you’ll win. Love is intense, highly sexual, passionate - and exhausting.

VIRGO
Relationships are the key and no matter how hard you try to keep everything light and bright, a certain amount of intensity creeps in. Use this energy to make any necessary changes - partnerships and alliances work well. In love, it’s fine to be lazy and just let it happen.

LIBRA
With so much to get through you’ll want to fly away to new pastures. Stick at it - your charm means everyone is willing to pitch in and help. Name-dropping won’t help today, but hard work will. At least your sex life isn’t suffering .

SCORPIO
All your hard work is lightened by your need for a more social life this weekend, but watch out for over-spending or your income could really be depleted. Your creative skills are sharp, so use them in all areas - especially in your love life where your dreams could easily be realised.

SAGITTARIUS
You are in the mood for some fun, but if your boyfriend is holding you back perhaps it’s time to move on. If you’ve made up your mind, stick to it - unless it was just a spur-of-the-moment outburst and you don’t really mean it. Let your intuition rule.

CAPRICORN
If you speak too harshly to your colleagues you can’t expect them to give you the help you want. You’ll do far better if you can lighten up, laugh and give way a bit. At least at home you’ll find the understanding and compassion you want - love is creative, to say the least.

AQUARIUS
Using your creative imagination is fine, but if you take it too far you could lose out financially. It might be hard, but ask the experts for advice. When you know all the options, go for the one you want. Your boyfriend can be a real source of inspiration - in all ways.

PISCES
Everything is going well for you, with your projects moving forward and your dreams coming true, despite a couple of setbacks. With success comes other kinds of loss, and you probably won’t have as much free time or independence. Luckily your boyfriend seems to understand, and your sex life is quite dynamic.

With so much Uranian energy in the air, thinking laterally will help you make the right decisions. Not that you need encouragement as you discover new ideas and ways of thinking about yourself. Independence rules which makes you an enigma to your boyfriend, but the exotic sex will keep him tempted.

TAURUS
There seems to be an unexpected change in your love relationship which could be a bit disturbing, but an exciting and worthwhile challenge. Just be yourself, though perhaps a bit more open. Smile, even if you are uncertain, and listen to what others have to say if you want them to hear you.

GEMINI
You have some innovative ideas, but you are in perfectionist mode. Move softly so that you don’t tread on your colleagues and friends’ toes - listen to your intuition as they also have their own agenda and ideas. Sex is great, but don’t let him think he can depend on you for everything.

CANCER
You want a peaceful life? Well, you probably won’t find it today as events could overtake you and your plans, leaving you with no choice but to go along with them. It will be exciting, so embrace any changes. Your loving warmth attracts everyone. Singles, you could find a new man in your life.

LEO
This is a highly stimulating time for you as you chuck out anything old and worn and embrace the new and innovative. Your boyfriend and colleagues could find this unnerving, but will go along with your ideas when they realise the potential. Try not to be too demanding of your boyfriend - can he keep up with you?

VIRGO
Use all your self-confidence and positive thinking to let go of the old and embrace the changes that are happening around you. You aren’t alone - everyone is going through changes, so discuss and help others, too. Even your love life has a few surprises… probably good ones!

LIBRA
Everyone you meet seems a bit odd, but then so are your ideas at the moment. This is caused by the innovative, changeable Uranian energy upsetting associations and joint ventures. Don’t let your imagination get totally carried away. Sex will wonderfully unforgettable.

SCORPIO
No matter how hard you try to be in control of your life, things seem unstable and unpredictable. Instead of fretting and getting ill, just go with the flow. Even your home doesn’t offer the comfort you’d hoped. Luckily your love life seems serious - if that’s really what you want.

SAGITTARIUS
Just as you thought you were in love with that great guy, along comes another who is even more gorgeous, funny and intelligent… and then suddenly you feel alone and unwanted. This is a Uranian energy glitch. Don’t worry - it’ll pass! When love is good it’s unsurpassable.

CAPRICORN
There’s an unexpected change in your domestic life which you can either welcome or resent and make yourself ill. Alternatively, you could smile and ride it out… It won’t help to dig your heels in as change is happening, like it or not - but your career benefits. You want a battle in your love life too?

AQUARIUS
As an Aquarian you just love the new changes that are happening in your life. Take this time to learn new skills and keep up with the latest computer and technical data. Do take extra care on the roads - accidents happen easily and quickly. You are so busy that sex doesn’t seem like much of a priority.

PISCES
Keeping as sharp an eye as you can on your finances is important - circumstances aren’t favouring the timid, but it’s not a good idea to take monetary risks, either. The answer is balance so think very carefully before making decisions. Your love life has an unexpected and unusual element, and it’s highly sexual.

Rather than letting your emotions get the better of you when talking to colleagues, keep cool and friendly as good communication is the key to your success. Opportunities are opening up for you, but you have to be ready to take them. Sex is erotic, but maybe lacking any real feeling.

TAURUS
With your mind on your work, you have many ideas tossing around in your head. Luckily your powers of insight are sharp so you’ll know which to discuss with your colleagues and which to keep to yourself for the time being. Love is all about sensuality, so leave your emotions at the door.

GEMINI
As long as you keep a certain amount of cool detachment, your love life will flourish today. Friends and your active social life will be more of a pull than an overly sentimental boyfriend. If you can find time for your work, collaborating with colleagues will be more successful than working alone.

CANCER
Your long-range ambitions are the focus. Accept help from whoever offers it as working as part of a team will bring success quicker than trying to work on a project by yourself. You have a sudden understanding of what went wrong in a previous relationship. Now, a balance between emotion and detachment is needed.

LEO
With so much enthusiasm for life it’s hard to know what to do next. You seem more in love with life than with your boyfriend, but it’s a lot of fun. A business partnership might not be exactly what it seems to be on the surface. Discussions are needed to resolve this one.

VIRGO
The Aquarian Moon lightens the intense Aries energy, making it easier for you to put your ideas across at work. You’ll be able to get your projects finished and see your financial prospects rising, too. Your love life is surprisingly passionate and physical.

LIBRA
Love and romance are everywhere, but it will be the unexpected that really excites you. A spontaneous sexual fling is likely. If you’ve had family problems or arguments, now is the time to let them heal as they are hurting you more than the other people involved.

SCORPIO
Try to relax and ease up a bit. Let your home be a place of peace - soft music and candlelight rather than a stable for your high horse. Some passionate lovemaking will ease the tensions of working too hard. If you don’t give yourself a break you’ll get ill with stress.

SAGITTARIUS
Your inspired imagination is taking over, but how much is practical? The Aquarian Moon will help you get it into some sort of order. Romance is more exciting than a stale relationship, but you can have both if you put your heart into it.

CAPRICORN
Your family and domestic environment are important, and this could be quite an expensive couple of days. A new business venture could provide extra finance, but it will mean a lot of work. Are you up for it? Sex seems more practical than loving.

AQUARIUS
Your cool, analytical way of communicating today might put people’s backs up - use your charm as well as enthusiasm. A financial problem needs thought, and you have sudden insights as to why someone let you down or tried to mislead you. Sex is hot, but love is cool.

PISCES
You rush into everything with enthusiasm, but if a financial matter isn’t exactly what you expected, think carefully about what to do next as you can’t afford to be on the losing side. The Aquarian Moon puts the brakes on your emotions, allowing you to enjoy some unexpectedly erotic sex.

Whatever your passion is, it should start to take shape now as you have the energy and confidence to achieve everything you want. The difficulty comes in trying to do too much, and spreading yourself in too many directions. Focus on one thing, and stop worrying about the future.

TAURUS
With your personal planet conjunct Mars, your libido needs satisfying - go on, push all his buttons - he’ll find you very exciting. You might not want to let the world know your secrets, but this could happen now. You’ll just have to smile and pretend you don’t mind.

GEMINI
Friendships start and old ones end as you find new ways of reaching your goals. Just don’t hurt anyone along the way! Working with groups and exchanging ideas and information is the way forward, and you are confident that they’ll listen. Love-wise, you’re more demanding than usual.

CANCER
You are looking for a change in your career, but the outcome might be more than you’d imagined. It’s exciting and scary, but you have all the self-confidence you need, so go with the flow and enjoy every minute of the challenge. Even your love life is more challenging and extreme.

LEO
Work-wise, instead of sitting and worrying, take time out to find the answers or take further training. In other words, now is the time for action otherwise you really will end up with a tension headache. Take care when travelling – risk-taking is out! Your boyfriend had better support your ambitions.

VIRGO
No matter how hard you go for what you want, obstacles seem to come rushing into your path. Don’t stress - it’s just the Cosmos playing up! Use this time to become more self-reliant and independent, and your self-confidence will soar. Admit it, is your sex life just a bit boring.

LIBRA
If you allow your emotions to get the better of you, you could end your love relationship or even walk out of your job - which you probably didn’t mean to do… Try to keep everything under control, and be tolerant rather than reactive. Boost your boyfriend rather than putting him down.

SCORPIO
This is a good time to change your daily routine, especially if it isn’t working for you, like going to bed earlier, getting up earlier, or being more independent at work. Even your diet and fitness regime could be under revision. Love-wise, be your languid self.

SAGITTARIUS
Drama rules - in your love life as well as in your social life. It could all be a bit too emotional for you, especially as your imagination and creative talents are working overtime. Use them in your career rather than imagining things which just aren’t happening. Sex is as unpredictable as the rest of your life.

CAPRICORN
Your current living arrangements could be temporary - again, you might just decide to up and leave because you have an argument with your boyfriend or family. You need independence, but without a complete break. It’s all very exciting, and stimulates your libido too.

AQUARIUS
Do avoid accidents and arguments today, even when driving in your own neighbourhood. Your whole life is just a bit too unpredictable and you need to keep calm rather than over-reacting. On the positive side, you’ll achieve a lot - though it may not be what you’d planned! Expect a sexual battle, too.

PISCES
Give some of your time and energy to your financial situation, but it will be best if you don’t take action today as even the advice you get from an ‘expert’ might lose you money. It’s best to wait a couple of days or at the very least ask more than one person. Sex-wise, be patient…

It’s time to plan and get organised. You’ll soon be too involved with your career, so sort out your home, socialise and think about moral and spiritual issues. Even if you are jealous, don’t let your boyfriend see it. Your love life is dramatic enough!

TAURUS
You know what you want, but do you have to be so fanatical about it? Relax, laugh, go with the flow and everything will fall into place, even if you don’t understand everything that’s going on. Love-wise, let your sweetness and beauty hide your need to control.

GEMINI
It can be scary giving up one thing to gain another, but with your friends and associate’s willing support, now is the time to make the leap forward - after all, you’ve been planning it long enough. Love seems confusing, as if you don’t know what to do here, either. Let cold determination rule.

CANCER
Yes, your career is important, but even you can leave it alone for a few hours so give up some of your work and relax - preferably with your boyfriend. Your libido will be satisfied by some quite rough sex.

LEO
If you haven’t given up smoking, are indulging in too many late nights and still leading an unhealthy life-style, now is the time to get your body into shape and making it easier to achieve your goals, whether for a smaller dress size, a leaner body or your career aspirations. It’s easier than you think.

VIRGO
Focus on the positive side of your life and use your creative talents in a deeply meaningful, but quite realistic way if you want to make money from your career. Don’t try to manipulate every situation - you can’t win them all. You need your boyfriend to work with you and to share your dreams.

LIBRA
Spending time with your family is important, especially if there are issues to be resolved, like repairs to your home or just deciding on which cushion covers to buy. Plan a trip with your boyfriend - if he needs persuading, use some of your oozy charm.

SCORPIO
Communication is key - take time to be in contact with friends and neighbours. Your ideas are serious and intense, but not even you can control everything. Get stuck into helping in a practical way as well as telling everyone what to do. Let your sense of humour rule your sex life, and keep it simple.

SAGITTARIUS
Neglect your finances at your peril – it’s time to be totally honest. Remember, spending generously on others is great, as long as it isn’t done to manipulate them. Love is romantic and glamorous, and hopefully your boyfriend is quite macho as this is what you need today.

CAPRICORN
This isn’t the time to sit back and do nothing - it’s the time to use your personal power to get what you want, see how to achieve your career goals and to go for it. Today is all about achieving success in everything you do, and it’s easier than you thought. Love might be a bit boring.

AQUARIUS
Listen to what everyone has to say, especially concerning your latest financial project - then check, and double-check. You have all the facilities at hand, so there’s no excuse. Your love life could be an explosive battleground if you give less time to your boyfriend than to others.

PISCES
Stop resenting others who have more power and influence than you - take this time to think about how you can reach your goals. The role you play in everyone’s life is the key to greater prosperity. Your best friend could easily become your most exciting lover yet.

Your only problem is going OTT, otherwise everything is going your way. You know what you want, and it should come to you easily and quickly. Travel is well starred - if you are not leaving today, at least do some planning. In love, anything and everything goes.

TAURUS
If you can avoid jealousy, your love partnership is your greatest asset today. Friends and colleagues are encouraging you in everything you want to do, but you still need a little time out to get all your financial facts straight. Love is not just good, it’s transformative.

GEMINI
With nothing to hold you back, it’s time to move forward with that new job, career, friends and anything else you’ve been wanting to do. Love is more than friendship as it becomes a total addiction. Luckily you easily find a way to mix business with pleasure.

CANCER
Concentrate on your work and career, and let your relationship stay calm, even if there isn’t much romance at the moment. There are more important things to take up your time. Your confidence is growing - are you being head-hunted? Finances look great today, too.

LEO
A business trip or entertainment could come your way - lucky you! Don’t miss out on anything exciting or interesting that is offered, as friends and associates are in a generous mood and your enthusiastic energy is needed. Love is everywhere.

VIRGO
Be accountable for everything you do, even if it does come to you easily and without much effort as it is your reputation that will suffer if anything goes wrong. Taking a measured risk is one thing - wasting your money quite another… Love is wonderful, but are you making all the compromises?

LIBRA
This is a very lucky day for you with the opportunity for many short journeys. It will be interesting, but also keep you on the go. Your ideas will certainly broaden, too. Love-wise, you should encourage your boyfriend to use all his talents as you aren’t in the mood for any kind of limitations at all.

SCORPIO
Take every opportunity at work to make the money you need as the prospects are there if you are ready to take the plunge. Partnerships are well starred, but avoid extravagance today. You might say one thing, but your body language something entirely different. Love-wise, nothing is refused.

SAGITTARIUS
Try not to take your family or your partner for granted. Love and romance are uppermost in your mind, but you’ll expect him to give you everything you need. Stop and think - can he afford you? Sexually you’ll fulfil his every fantasy, but will this be enough?

CAPRICORN
As such a glamorous couple, you seem to have it all, but is this true, or are you just using him to move up the ladder? You are getting through a huge amount of work, but most of your enthusiasm is devoted to family and domestic arrangements. Take time out alone together.

AQUARIUS
No matter what you do today, success is yours. Make the most of the positive energy as financial luck and prosperity are within easy reach if you use your imagination and creative flair. Colleagues, friends and the man in your life all are willing to give support.

PISCES
Make sure you are planning your advanced training, taking on a new career and fulfilling all your wishes and dreams. Financial luck is with you, so take advantage of all the positive energy without feeling guilty. Use your sexual intuition - he’ll love it!

Are you ready for change? It’s time to take a new approach if you want to really achieve your goals. Nothing really fazes you, so you should find being pushed out of your comfort zone very exhilarating. Co-operation will make everything easier. Your sex life is complex today - but quite exciting.

TAURUS
If you are in an uncomfortable situation, take time out this weekend to think about it. Would it be best to simply walk away, or can you think of a more innovative way of dealing with the problem? Don’t say anything you might regret later. Passions rise tonight as you’re tempted by forbidden fruit.

GEMINI
Everyone expects you to do it all today. You’ll have to juggle all the different projects, but don’t take on so much that you get burnout. Let go of the things you can’t do, and let everyone help to lighten the load. You’d prefer some time alone with your boyfriend - he’ll most likely agree.

CANCER
Career-wise, it is time to think more creatively - if you need to change course, then be innovative and open up to all the new possibilities. Just because you’ve always acted in a certain way, doesn’t mean you can’t move on. Real intimacy is needed in your love life.

LEO
You still have itchy feet, and are now ready to look at the different possibilities, whether to stay or to move. This is quite an emotional time for you, and also a bit frightening, but you’ll certainly benefit in the changes you finally make. Face yourself with confidence. Let your boyfriend help you de-stress in your favourite way.

VIRGO
With so many exciting ideas, you’ll find it far easier to move on and accept that change is inevitable whether you like it or not. Just don’t make rash decisions today or allow yourself to become too intense and emotional. In love, you need to take your power back once more.

LIBRA
You might have to give up one of your plans, maybe because of a lack of money or due to family commitments. This could be quite an emotional time, but ultimately it will be for the best, even if you can’t see it now! Let your boyfriend give you the love and support you need today.

SCORPIO
It takes more than a good idea to get what you want - a lot of hard work, commitment and financial resources, too. You are offered the opportunity to follow your true path, though it will mean leaving your comfort zone and moving into the unknown again. Let your man calm your fierceness.

SAGITTARIUS
Balance is needed - on the one hand you want a busy social life, but on the other you would love some peace and quiet. You can have both! It will take some juggling and perhaps you won’t be able to do everything you’d like. At least take time out for intimate moments with your man.

CAPRICORN
You enjoy being in control, but could find that it won’t be that easy to achieve this weekend - you can either give in gracefully, come to a compromise or insist on having things your way. Whatever you do means more hard work and a bit of stress. Simple, straightforward love-making will be highly satisfying.

AQUARIUS
The opportunities are there, and you have exciting, innovative ideas - but are you ready to take the plunge into the unknown? It would be exciting, if a little scary. Take time out this weekend to think and re-charge - will these ideas finally express your real self? Being nurturing will add to your mystery.

PISCES
Thinking, dreaming and fantasising are your forte, but now is time for action. The opportunities are there, but your emotions might make it difficult for you as you have to give up your long-cherished security in order to move out into the world. Don’t lose your sense of humour, especially with your boyfriend.

You rarely feel sorry for yourself, but you could just a little today, creating a totally OTT drama. Go on, indulge yourself! The trouble is, you let everyone think you can do everything better than they can. Love-wise, you act more sultry and intense than usual.

TAURUS
You are still at your most attractive, even if you do want to spend more time alone than usual. Be careful of someone who needs your help while pretending to be concerned about you - the last thing you need now is a hard luck story. Take love slowly.

GEMINI
Discussions at work are deep, penetrating and powerful. You can easily persuade people to agree with you, so use your communication skills - but remember to stick to your values, especially over financial issues. Fantasies could be satisfied. Big time.

CANCER
There could be a power struggle going - try to take time out, keep it light and fun and don’t get involved if you can help it. You have to be honest with yourself about what you really want, both at work and from your friends and lover. Intimacy rules in your bedroom.

LEO
Control your emotions at home - the last thing you need is an argument with your family or your boyfriend. Curb the need to run away - just keep your cool, use your usual charm and smile otherwise you’ll feel totally stressed out. Vigorous exercise and great sex will help calm your nerves.

VIRGO
Try not to be too intense in the way you talk to everyone - they’ll just think you’re a drama queen. You also tend to take everything literally instead of as a joke. Try to lighten up! Keep the intense passion for the bedroom where it’ll be the most appreciated.

LIBRA
Your finances look quite good, so even if you don’t quite believe it, don’t let anyone else know your worries. Energy follows thought, so if you believe you are fine, you will be - especially if you think progressively and innovatively. A little bit of tolerance will go a long way with your boyfriend.

SCORPIO
Stop worrying, relax and just enjoy your friends and relationships, especially with the man in your life. You just love upsetting the applecart to see what’s underneath, but it won’t work. Just enjoy the passion, and stop being so fierce.

SAGITTARIUS
You are ready for a fun, social weekend, but even you need a little time out to recharge those inner batteries, especially with your boyfriend. Use your intuition to suss out what is really happening at home, and to fine-tune any property negotiations.

CAPRICORN
A friend or associate could come up with what seems like a cool money-making proposition. Just make sure it’s not all talk as it might not be in your best interest. When you focus your energy in the right way you can achieve everything you want. Let your boyfriend give you a real sense of fun this weekend.

AQUARIUS
Everyone expects you to be the strong one, helping everyone achieve their goals with your creative imagination. Your communication skills are strong, and you have charm - but will it bring you what you want? You seem a bit anti-social - does your boyfriend feel this distance?

PISCES
You seem willing to take a few risks today, especially when travelling, and it all becomes a huge adventure, but do take care. Just remember that you do need some money in your account - generosity begins at home! Love is a bit same-y, so let him keep you upbeat.

Your innovative mind has great ideas, but are you actually making them reality? Use your energetic self-confidence to take advantage of the strong Plutonian energy and really transform your life. You seem more romantic than usual, with friendship being just as important as wild sex.

TAURUS
A secret could be revealed. Don’t hide from the truth, but if it’s your secret, you don’t have to tell the world. Think carefully before baring all, especially if it could hurt someone else. Address your financial situation with confidence, and take time out to enjoy the ritual of lovemaking.

GEMINI
You might feel very powerful and going for gold, but act in a logical way rather than becoming over-confident and making a rash decision. Your friends and colleagues are there to support even your most outlandish ideas. Love is cool, but fun.

CANCER
Life is certainly not quiet. Be ready to accept an unexpected invitation or meeting which could change your life. You need to be more independent, so think carefully before you plunge headlong into a new relationship or career move. Only erotic sex will satisfy.

LEO
Despite feeling the world is a bit wobbly or disintegrating beneath your feet, life is very exciting. Use this time to look at different ways of thinking, working and living. Don’t rush into any decisions, but recognise your huge potential. Love has to be fun rather than serious today.

VIRGO
No matter how hard you go after what you want, you may not get exactly that. This will ultimately be for the better, so embrace all the new ideas. Your finances could go through change, too, but try not to panic. Love-wise, don’t behave like a spoiled brat.

LIBRA
Love matters, whether or not you are in a relationship. You could unexpectedly take your relationship to another level or meet someone new, exciting and totally out of your usual comfort zone. The possibility of travel could emerge, too - don’t limit yourself.

SCORPIO
Changing the way you work and your daily routine will make your life more exciting. Think out of the box and relish change - what you do now will ultimately improve your lifestyle. The same goes for your health; don’t stick with the ‘same-old,’ but try something new. Your love life will improve, too.

SAGITTARIUS
Your attitude towards your life, your work and your boyfriend could undergo a massive change which is exciting, but scary. Nothing seems to go according to your plan or grand scheme; instead of having a hissy fit, go with the flow and you’ll soon have it all.

CAPRICORN
With so many options opening up to you, both at work and in your home life, you’ll soon decide what it is that you really want. Be open to new ideas - even the most outrageous have merit. Think of love for the emotional feelings rather than the social status. It’ll be far more fun.

AQUARIUS
If you can tear yourself away from your computer for a moment, you can actually meet up with your friends instead of just chatting online. Someone from your past could reappear - have fun! It could turn into a new romance…

PISCES
Although your finances are a bit unpredictable, you could be in for a bit of a windfall or a member of your family could help you out. Think laterally if you want to hold on to someone or something you really value. You are highly sensitive, and not in the mood for frivolity - you need something far more meaningful.

Go along with any changes to your schedule or plans, however frustrating. Just accept everything as exciting rather than blowing your top, as what happens next will ultimately be better, especially when you show enthusiasm. Tonight is the night for an invigorating sexual challenge - it is the Full Moon, after all.

TAURUS
Think very carefully before you commit yourself to anything, especially to do with work. Knowledge is power, so make sure you learn everything you can before signing anything. The more feminine you are, the more he’ll be turned on.

GEMINI
You have some amazingly innovative ideas, but they just might be a bit too progressive for everyone to accept now so work on your associates, gently, so that they get used to your ideas. Love should be a lot of fun and very social. Sex will be liberating, but not very emotional.

CANCER
There is lots going on today, and it will be in your best interests to go with anything new that crops up, even if you reluctant to change your plans. Love-wise, even if you are in a relationship that isn’t working, you still don’t want to let go, causing you quite a bit of inner tension. Be adaptable.

LEO
Instead of getting angry when interrupted or disturbed, go with the flow. Your innovative ideas will be far better for you than struggling with something that just isn’t working. You thrive when stimulated. Some caution is necessary if travelling, though. Sex is fun rather than serious.

VIRGO
Commitment is one thing, but do investigate thoroughly otherwise you just might not get what you expect out of the deal, especially financially. The key is to be as self-reliant as possible as circumstances are pretty unpredictable. In love, you seem too lazy to make the first move - or perhaps just not that interested.

LIBRA
The Full Moon in your own sign does bring tension, but as long as you show your loving and friendly side where you are more concerned about others than yourself, your life will be easy, fun and very happy. Sex will innovate and erotic too. Don’t forget the routine work - it calms the mind.

SCORPIO
A good day is forecast for most Scorps if you concentrate your energies on your work, using your innovative approach and relish the new opportunities that are coming your way. You might want to take time out to think things through. Don’t misbehave in love.

SAGITTARIUS
Drama rules, but as this is how you usually like your life, you won’t be fazed. If one relationship doesn’t work, there are plenty more waiting. If you are bored with your job, use your innovative ideas to make it more interesting – or, just move on…

CAPRICORN
The Full Moon seems to be making your present domestic arrangements a bit unstable. Try talking it through, but be ready to make any necessary moves. The important thing is to be as independent as you can be without upsetting anyone. Even your love life seems unpredictable.

AQUARIUS
You have so many new ideas that you haven’t a clue which direction to go next. Do you have the skills needed to make even one of them workable? This is the best time to widen your horizons. Do take care on the roads at this time! Love is fun, but more about a meeting of minds than feelings.

PISCES
As you can’t take anything for granted today, you might be in the mood to take risks. You have excellent ideas, but these do need to be thoroughly examined before you commit yourself or your hard-earned cash. Don’t be manipulated by anyone. Does love fit in with your plans?

It takes patience today, so instead of rushing into everything with your usual energy, a practical and sensible approach combined with your positive attitude will take you further. Let others have their say too - it’ll make your life so much easier. It’s time to show him new tricks.

TAURUS
By loving everything rather than focussing on just one person, you’ll give yourself the freedom to be happy, even if you haven’t got a partner at this time. If someone hurt you in the past, let it go! Focus on the present - the future is bringing you the love you want.

GEMINI
Participate in group activities, social clubs, sports events as well as work projects - be competitive, but not overly so. Join in for the fun and a sense of achievement. Your work benefits from working as part of a group rather than on your own. If necessary, you are surprisingly self-sufficient when you don’t have a boyfriend.

CANCER
Self-discipline is one thing; being creative, quite another. Patience is required to fulfil all your projects, and getting angry won’t help. Business meetings go well as long as you don’t lose your cool. For once your boyfriend might not put up with your moods.

LEO
Passions could easily rise, especially over financial issues. Keep quiet and don’t overreact. Walk away if necessary, count to ten and counter in a positive way with love and affection. The more practical you are the better - everyone will appreciate your insights. Keep your passion for the bedroom.

VIRGO
Turn any feelings of anger or aggression into positive energy - you don’t need to flaunt your need for power as you have it anyway, and your career is moving forward quickly now. If you can keep quiet long enough, you’ll easily find your sensual centre.

LIBRA
Working on common goals will be more fruitful than just thinking about yourself, and it’s a great time for forming partnerships. Remember that the more loving, positive vibes you give out, the less stressed you’ll become - but even so, take time out when it all gets too much.

SCORPIO
A colleague might disagree in a less-than-tactful manner when discussing your ideas for making money, but don’t overreact or you’ll say something you might regret later. Bite your tongue rather than expressing your feelings! Keep your power for tonight.

SAGITTARIUS
You’ll feel less defensive tomorrow, so in the meantime think up creative ways of using your energy. Let your attitude towards your co-workers be warm and affectionate, and whatever you do, don’t bring up old arguments. Lovewise, you seem a bit unreliable today.

CAPRICORN
Don’t rush into an agreement or contract - there’ll be more opportunities and openings very soon. Don’t close the door, just delay the decision. Be as practical and sensible as possible, especially when dealing with co-workers and even your friends. Love is hotter than hot.

AQUARIUS
Today is all about thinking, musing on a problem and using your strong intuition rather than making instant decisions. Think laterally, especially over financial issues, and use past experiences to guide you in what not to do. Love-wise, give rather than taking tonight.

PISCES
You have the energy and the confidence, but perhaps this isn’t the day to be rushing in. Take a step back first, especially if finances are involved. It’s fine to be enterprising, but not foolish. You’ll do anything for your boyfriend, but what about your needs?

Try not to be overwhelmed by the help others are giving you or feel that you have to make urgent decisions. Just enjoy the support and your growing self-confidence while working towards your goals. Rather than becoming obsessive, take time out for some fun. Love is quite a challenge.

TAURUS
You could make the breakthrough you need, but don’t pretend to be anything you’re not - honesty is the best policy as you are an exciting and talented woman and you don’t need to pretend anything. Romance should be blossoming or at the very least a lot of fun. Sex is powerful.

GEMINI
A business meeting will go according to your plans as long as you show how confident you are without being too pushy. You’ll receive more help than you expect. You want to be in control, especially of joint finances – strategise! Don’t let your boyfriend think you don’t really need him.

CANCER
Your self-confidence is high, but this doesn’t mean everyone will go along with your ideas. However, don’t let this put you off - stick to your ideas while still listening and learning from everyone else. What is holding you back in love?

LEO
Everything seems to be going your way - as long as you keep good control of the finances. Your work and your whole life could be going in a very exciting direction, and everyone is there to give support and help. Who can resist love? Not you!

VIRGO
You are in control today, and everyone seems ready to help. You need just one colleague with the qualifications and energy to get you on the right track. Then, it’ll be up and away, with nothing holding you back. In love, stop talking and get on with it!

LIBRA
Instead of just dreaming and wishing, isn’t it time for action? This could mean expanding your knowledge and experience - don’t hold back as your future is at stake. You have the confidence to do whatever it takes. Love is more sweet than passionate.

SCORPIO
Your two personal planets are at odds today making you very ambitious, but quite obsessive, and could be too overpowering for your colleagues and associates so you’ll have to go it alone. A new project needs your input - be prepared for even more hard work. Sex is more about action than words.

SAGITTARIUS
Everything is going your way today as your creative talents seep into every area of your life from your home to your work as well as your love life. Just don’t become too self-opinionated, even if you do know best! Compromise if your boyfriend is feeling a bit overwhelmed by you.

CAPRICORN
Tolerance towards your co-workers and associates will get you everything you want and keep you on the right track. Remember, don’t feel obliged to make quick decisions - let everyone wait until you are quite sure. Your sex life might not be your priority.

AQUARIUS
Love-wise, you’ll just have to make the effort if you want to understand where your boyfriend is coming from, especially if you are the sexually needy one today. Don’t rush into any financial deal without researching and speaking to experts.

PISCES
Your finances look good today, but think very carefully before entering a new venture with anyone. Optimism is one thing - taking unnecessary risks quite another. Make up your own mind, and don’t be pushed by anyone. Ignore any obstacles - just enjoy.

You have some amazing new ideas, so let go of anything that’s been holding you back, and move forward. This might mean leaving behind friends or possessions, but it will be worth it in the end so use your positive energy to change your life - and your boyfriend’s attitude.

TAURUS
You certainly are in the mood for love, friendship and having as much fun as possible, though circumstances suggest you have to spend some time at home, alone - probably because of your partner’s unpredictable behaviour! Don’t sulk, just ignore and it will be fine soon enough.

GEMINI
Whilst making changes to your life, you’ll probably find that your friends, as well as your family, give you all the support and encouragement you need. Do look after your health at this time as stress will stop your progress. Make sure you eat healthily, get enough sleep and enjoy vigorous sex.

CANCER
Don’t ignore or give too little time to your creative talents as they will help you make the right career choices. Take time out to think how best to achieve your goals. You don’t have to tell anyone about your previous sexual adventures - keep some secrets…

LEO
Whatever happens, don’t resent your family’s interest and helpful advice - they only want what’s best for you. Listen, learn and then make up your own mind, and if this means travelling, moving or learning new skills, then do it. Love-wise, your flexible attitude brings lively sex.

VIRGO
You could have difficulty in understanding what everyone has to say today – or, they misunderstand you completely. Everyone could criticize you for no reason, but don’t over- react - smile sweetly - everything will be clearer tomorrow! Love is sensual, which is a huge relief!

LIBRA
Decide what is important to you and what isn’t, and especially how not to lose any money at the moment. The biggest thing you could lose is your sense of humour, so if that happens, stay at home, put on some dreamy music and chill.

SCORPIO
Everything needs your attention, but there just seems to be far too many concerns for you to achieve anything. Relax, stop worrying if you can, and just work slowly through the list rather than rushing in. Don’t drop your high standards, but stay flexible.

SAGITTARIUS
This isn’t the time to take risks, gamble or go OTT - it’s time to slow down, use your inner strengths and work slowly towards your goals using your sense of humour, your creative talents and ability to show love in every situation - even if your boyfriend doesn’t understand you today.

CAPRICORN
You just want to get on with what needs to be done, but you’ll be far better off working as part of a group. Your communication skills are strong, but even so, try not to tell everyone what to do - their way might be even better than yours! Active sex will cool you down.

AQUARIUS
You want to be in charge of your life but don’t rush in too quickly. Your original ideas are highly creative, but might need further thinking through before they’ll work. If you need further skills, now is the time to start learning. Love is more than even you could hope.

PISCES
Dividing yourself between friends and family, and staying at home and travelling are proving quite stressful. You can only do what you can, so relax and let things happen at their own pace - you’ll be amply rewarded in the end. Love is more predictable than usual, but enviably active.

Restless with routine, you need excitement. Luckily, a new opportunity is coming your way, either to take up an entirely different line of work or to use your experimental ideas. This will, of course, add to your responsibilities. Loving romance will soften any angry or aggressive outbursts.

TAURUS
Thinking of setting up home with your partner, but the issue of your personal independence keeps creeping into the equation? Think about it carefully, and then let go of any past hurts and embrace the change in a decisive way. Your glowing sexiness is stimulating.

GEMINI
Ready for a new adventure? Don’t sit back and wait as the stars are offering excitement, new opportunities to travel and new ways of using up your energy. You are filled with self-confidence, but don’t take too many risks! You aren’t the domestic goddess today - you need to be out and about.

CANCER
Be decisive and positive about your career and financial situation; it’s now time to turn your dreams into reality. Yes, there’ll be frustrations, but that doesn’t mean you should give up. You have some great new ideas, but you need space to make them happen. When it comes to sex, take your power.

LEO
It’s time to think out of the box, and to be more flexible and ready for change at a moment’s notice. Go with the flow - you’ll feel totally liberated and your energy levels will rise. Almost a new you… Sex-wise, you are so popular, can your ego get any bigger?

VIRGO
You need to rely on yourself rather than on anyone else at the moment. It’s not that people will let you down, it’s just that they won’t understand as they aren’t on your wavelength. Being resourceful will increase your self-esteem as your wildest, sexiest dreams come to fruition.

LIBRA
You are in the mood to make new friends, maybe with someone totally unexpected or unusual, but it will require your flexibility, co-operation as well as your enthusiasm to make a new love relationship work. Sexually, a bit of sparring is a turn-on.

SCORPIO
Your enthusiasm for work is spilling over into all areas of your life though, as usual, you don’t want anyone to tell you what to do. Rather than getting angry, you need a demanding, highly creative project to dig your teeth into. Some vigorous sex will help, especially with a new love interest.

SAGITTARIUS
This weekend is all about the pursuit of pleasure, and if you aren’t going on holiday, then this is the time to start planning. Use your imagination and don’t limit yourself - even trips to outer space will be offered soon. Your sex life needs to have the same vigour and excitement.

CAPRICORN
Try not to tell your family or partner what to do this weekend - they just won’t listen! Share any chores at home though - especially if there are jobs like renovating or household repairs. Partnerships could be more about style than content - perhaps not a long-term commitment…

AQUARIUS
If you can stop talking long enough, you’ll accomplish a lot this weekend as you are full of physical energy and ready to keep on the move, developing your ideas and gathering information from every source. Love will be luscious - if you’ve got any oomph left...

PISCES
You are ready to do extra work, but only if there are financial or other rewards offered. You shouldn’t take unnecessary risks with your money at this time, but think through your ideas very carefully… Luckily, your income will increase, especially through a joint venture. Unrestrained lovemaking rules.

Use your charm and your willingness to co-operate with everyone in such a way that you get exactly what you want. Looking your best will add to your luck, along with your fun sense of humour. Being unfaithful would damage your love life. Love at first sight? He might just be the one…

TAURUS
It really is time to forget a past disappointment or hurt and move on. If you are hiding in your bedroom and feeling sorry for yourself, move on! If you are fantasising about what might have been - move on, too! Loosen up and let love energise you once more.

GEMINI
Your role in the lives of those around you (lover, friends, family) decides whether you are happy and fulfilled or unhappy and lonely. Make new friends by joining in group activities. If your boyfriend is your best friend, too, your sex life will improve.

CANCER
The more charm you use, the more you are not only noticed by those who matter, but everyone will be willing to go along with your ideas. You could easily get a promotion or a raise, so don’t hold back. You seem ready for a loving, long-term relationship - flavoured by some extremely hot sex.

LEO
Cultural pursuits as well as anything to do with romance or love relationships will be highly successful. Don’t limit yourself - there are many areas opening up to you. Love shouldn’t be a casual affair; enjoy a bit of rough play.

VIRGO
The focus is on partnerships, both business and love, and you should benefit from either or both as long as you share common goals and similar values. Everyone will look to you to keep the peace and harmony, but you can get quite aggressive when thwarted. In love, you do the seducing.

LIBRA
If you act with love, promoting harmony and co-operation - especially towards your boyfriend and your colleagues at work - you’ll find that you’ll achieve even more than you’d hoped. The trouble is you just might go a bit too far, and promise something you can’t deliver.

SCORPIO
With so much going on at work, you really do have to work hard at keeping everyone happy and on your side. This is a good time to get your office sorted - a fresh coat of paint, a new painting or a pot-plant will help brighten the space and lighten your spirits. Love-wise, are you ever satisfied?

SAGITTARIUS
Don’t miss out on any social events - plan the weekend now, especially if it involves a few risk-taking adventures or getting more romance into your life. Naturally, you’ll go OTT with all the opportunities and choices, but if you can focus on one goal, you won’t be sorry.

CAPRICORN
If you haven’t already invited friends and family to your place this weekend, don’t delay as this is where you’ll get most pleasure. You should also plan any new décor ideas or renovations. This is also a great time to look at property to buy or rent. Believe in yourself and everyone will believe in you.

AQUARIUS
You’re very demanding at the moment, but as long as you do this with charm and a huge dollop of humour, you won’t upset anyone and can actually persuade them to go along with what you want. Participating in community affairs will satisfy your need to be around people. You are sexually passionate - be bold!

PISCES
You should be on a financial high at the moment - but equally you are just itching to go on a spending spree, and the more luxurious and expensive, the better. Needing a load of affection, understanding and romance, your lively sense of humour makes you very attractive to friends and lovers.
]]> Fri, 22 Mar 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/21-march-2013 ARIES
Stop wavering about what to do next - it’s time to make a decision and commit yourself. Not everyone will understand, but you are in the mood to make things happen for you. Focus on the future, and forget the obstacles. If your boyfriend finds you too self-centred, there are plenty of others waiting.

TAURUS
You know exactly what it is you want, but everyone else has their own agenda. Never mind - get on with your own life and set them free to follow theirs. Don’t even try to change their minds - you’ll accomplish far more on your own. Chatting and discussing will provide more comfort than just sex.

GEMINI
You really can’t be responsible for everyone else - just think about what makes you happy, and leave them to think for themselves otherwise you’ll be so overloaded you won’t cope. You seem more loving than usual. This is highly satisfying for him as your sex life will improve, too.

CANCER
You want to take your life in a new direction but events seem to be out of your control. What you can do is promote yourself or your favourite cause as you are in the public eye, anyway. Try not to be ultra-sensitive - not everyone is out to get you. Let your boyfriend show you what love is really about.

LEO
Your thinking is so original and your spirit so independent that your life could easily become a bit unstable and hard to handle. This is good as it makes you think out of the box in a far broader way than usual. Do avoid accidents and dangerous situations, especially when travelling.

VIRGO
You can’t always get what you want in life. The important thing is not to get upset but to become more resourceful and independent. A medical emergency may need your input - it will give you a different perspective on your life. Try not to let your emotions win or you’ll be a nervous wreck.

LIBRA
Relationships are the focus, and if a certain friend or lover isn’t what you’d hoped, now is the time to move on, stronger and more certain of who you do want in your life. If your love-life is good, now is the time to put it on a permanent basis. A sense of humour wins every time.

SCORPIO
You have probably been secretly worrying, in true Scorpio style, about your future, so welcome your renewed energy, enthusiasm and be ready to move forward, no matter how challenging or unorthodox the road is. Let your man come to you.

SAGITTARIUS
Your love life could change quite dramatically as you suddenly find a new man in your life, just as you were happily declaring yourself celibate forever. Well, everyone knew that wouldn’t last! Your creative juices are flowing, and romance is inspired and adventurous.

CAPRICORN
Your current domestic situation could suddenly change - are you planning a new business from home? Moving house? Or perhaps someone is coming to live with you. You could also be moving in with your boyfriend. Whatever the scenario, your life will improve.

AQUARIUS
You seem almost overwhelmed by ideas and information - and expressing yourself in a forceful but totally unpredictable way. Try to slow down and think things through a bit more, otherwise you’ll be on a new road to nowhere. Your new sensitivity is inspired - lucky boyfriend!

PISCES
If your finances are in a state of flux, thank goodness you can rely on help coming, maybe from a totally unexpected source or not how you imagined it would happen. This will change the way you think about yourself and bring out an almost new personality. Love is intense, but satisfying.

The Sun moves into your own sign today, so the emphasis is on you, your independent spirit and assertiveness. Think about what motivates you and how you can be more successful without being arrogant or rash. This is the time to achieve! Forget his ex – now you are the one…

TAURUS
Energy follows thought and dreams, so visualise how you want your life to be, and focus your energy, creativity and drive - it will happen. Rather than spending time alone, call and meet up with friends and chat to business colleagues. Networking will be a bonus. Tonight, be the earth mother Goddess - he’ll love it!

GEMINI
It’s time to go after the material rewards as well as recognition for your hard work, but without becoming aggressive or overreacting so that you don’t put a strain on your business relationships. Try not to be too unpredictable, especially with a new boyfriend.

CANCER
As the Sun moves into Aries, it’s time to re-assess your life. Are you making the requisite career progress as well as reaching other goals? If not, what can you do to fulfil your ambitions? Things are moving forward quite rapidly, so keep taking your power. Your home is your safe haven - with or without him.

LEO
When someone mentions travelling abroad or learning new skills your feet start to itch with anticipation. It’s time to decide what you’d like to do next, so be assertive and decide for yourself. Your sense of humour and understanding will ensure that no-one feels hurt by your decisions. Steamy sex rules.

VIRGO
Passion rules your entire life, and money, debts and loans are all important issues which have to be sorted. Try to stay sweet rather than letting your moods control you if you want everyone to keep supporting you. You need a highly sexual night to help relieve the tension.

LIBRA
You are more forceful in your dealings with others, but it’s the ‘iron fist in the velvet glove’ approach that will get you everything you want, so don’t forget the tact and charm. This is a great time to negotiate the most favourable terms and contracts. Love-wise, you are in control.

SCORPIO
The Sun moving into Aries emphases your work routine and how you can become more organised, responsible and efficient. Taking pride in your work is vital, but even more important is keeping stress free. Watch your diet and exercise plan. Try not to be too needy, love-wise.

SAGITTARIUS
Use your creative talents in your business projects as well as for fun and you could make quite a lot of money. Your romantic life could well become more than just a fantasy fling, and that is enough to satisfy you today.

CAPRICORN
You need to assert yourself within your domestic environment, but not with aggression or by being too pushy or you’ll just turn everyone away. You probably want more space today - be open and honest, but gentle and very patient with your boyfriend who might not understand.

AQUARIUS
As the Sun moves into Aries, your latest ideas are energised so be ready to gather as much info as possible and interact with neighbours, siblings and colleagues. Try to remember that others have opinions, too - if you listen to theirs, they’ll be more interested in your ideas. Sex should be wild tonight.

PISCES
You are on a financial high at the moment, but do you have other values and priorities too? Don’t use money to influence anyone - and, whatever happens, don’t be tempted into an unwise money-making scheme. Love-wise, leave the tears and moods; just be sensitive towards your boyfriend.

If you can’t decide whether to stay at home rather than travel, or to leave your present safe haven and widen your horizons, take time to think out of the box - let your creative instincts help you decide. Whatever happens, be flexible. There is no wrong or right. Love is emotional, so be ready with the box of tissues.

ARIES
It’s quite a heavy emotional day, and with your personal planet, Mars, making you quite pushy, you need to start the day ready to listen, discuss and exchange ideas. Tonight there seems to be a touch of danger and excitement in your love life - just as you like it.

TAURUS
Business associates and friends could be offering good financial advice and opportunities but don’t be too hasty to decide what to do next as more ideas will be coming thick and fast and you don’t want to lose any money. Ultra-feminine today, sex is all about understanding who you are.

GEMINI
Don’t give in to difficult situations - just believe that you are in charge, that you are expanding your personal influence and that by being as efficient and organised as possible, your work is moving forward just as you want it to. Your more nurturing attitude is a huge turn-on.

CANCER
You are making considerable gains, but they are probably not obvious - even to you at the moment. Don’t worry - this will pass and you’ll start to see the results. In the meantime, carry on doing what you want, widening your mind and focussing on your career. Love is a bit emotional and moody tonight.

LEO
Stop worrying about what to do now or next - whatever you decide it probably won’t give you the satisfaction you want. It’s just a glitch in the heavens which will be over soon enough, and then you’ll know that what you do decide is right for you. Love has to be emotionally fulfilling as well as fun.

VIRGO
Focus on that feeling of optimism, even if you aren’t as successful as you think you should be - it will all happen for you, so just stick with being resourceful. Don’t be upset about your moodiness, but don’t change your mind, either - especially if the sex is almost a fetish.

LIBRA
Social climbing just won’t help your bank balance - in fact, it will deplete it. Just stick to your daily routine, get your job done in an organised way and your career will move on, slowly but surely. Atmosphere is everything tonight, so use candles and soft music, and do it your way.

SCORPIO
The emphasis is on being creative - if one thing doesn’t work, try a different approach. The more flexible you are, the easier it’ll be. The same goes for your love life - if you aren’t turned on by one of his demands, try something else, even more erotic.

SAGITTARIUS
Impatience is not a good idea at the moment, and you could easily say something you’ll regret. Relax and don’t be over-dramatic, but take time out to be alone with your boyfriend. The same goes at work - use your creative imagination and smile sweetly.

CAPRICORN
Instead of trying to order your co-workers and even your friends around, try listening to what they want. Ask yourself what you can do to help, rather than expecting them to assist you. The same goes in your love life - show love instead of expecting devotion.

AQUARIUS
Your co-workers may not appreciate your latest ideas, no matter how creative or how much money they’ll make. Don’t give up your ideas, but ask questions, be ready to change direction or develop new skills to keep up with the technology required. At least your love life is transforming.

As Mercury moves forward once more, it’s easier for you to make decisions with confidence knowing that your latest money-making ideas have merit. It’s good to be generous - but don’t be extravagant. Lovemaking is fun, but not that important to you today.

ARIES
This isn’t the best time to get overly involved with what others are up to - focus instead on your own career and domestic life. At work some changes in your schedule could be upsetting - if these are caused by a computer or equipment breakdown, just get on with it. Sex is a whirlwind.

TAURUS
You have all the confidence you need to earn more money - be open and free, but prioritise and only spend what you can afford. Be ready to help a friend or family member who is going through a work or health problem. Love-wise you don’t want the mundane - you need glamour!

GEMINI
You could easily change your mind about what makes you feel comfortable and happy. If these are quite dramatic you can expect co-workers and associates to be surprised and they could challenge your ideas. Be open and honest - with your boyfriend, too, if it affects him.

CANCER
If you must focus on the past, gain inspiration from the things that went well rather than focussing on the negatives. There are many new possibilities opening up to you, in your career as well as other goals. Take time out over these next couple of days to recharge your inner batteries. In love, the more spontaneous, the better.

LEO
Finances look better than they have for a while as a loan could be approved or someone repays a debt. Don’t fret and push too hard - just let things happen. This is a time for developing your skills rather than using them. There’s an intensity about your friendships. Give them and your boyfriend space.

VIRGO
Joint ventures and partnerships go well as you are able to negotiate very favourable terms now that Mercury is moving forward once more. You need to be as self-reliant as you can be in your love life, although first impressions are good. The more independent you are, the better your future.

LIBRA
There are so many possibilities opening up to you that now is the time to go for it. So, do some planning, gather all the information and discuss with those who matter. You’ll find your health and moods will improve dramatically, too. Love-wise, the last thing you need is drama or too much emotion.

SCORPIO
Get your social life in order - book the theatre tickets and invite friends over, but get expert advice on your investments and financial situation so you don’t get caught up in the moment. Keep that for your love life instead!

SAGITTARIUS
Listen and learn as well as telling everyone your latest, highly creative ideas - you’ll be surprised at just how well everyone loves your input, especially when you’ve done a bit of tweaking. It’s worth taking a few risks - especially flirting when you meet that exciting new guy.

CAPRICORN
It’s all about communication at work today, and your car, computer, cell phone or all of them could be needing your attention. Do you need to work on your charm? It’ll all work out well in the end, so don’t fret or stress yourself. Take the lead in love.

AQUARIUS
If you can, clear your desk of all the paperwork, sort out your meetings and then focus on your finances. Pay your bills, and make sure you’ve been paid for everything owed to you. It’s important that everyone knows your priorities and values. Love is fun and sexual, but not very emotional.

Mercury is making it easier for you to tell everyone what you think - in fact, you might not be able to stop talking at all. Just think before you speak otherwise you’ll upset not only your boyfriend but your family. Sex has to be fun.

ARIES
You want everything to be free, easy and liberated, but there is an underlying tension as you are pulled in too many different directions. Know that a lot of information should still be kept confidential. You are extremely decisive, though, and everyone knows where they stand. Love is a party.

TAURUS
If you are looking for a new job, find one that inspires you as well as pays you the money you need. Learn from past mistakes and move forward with confidence. Do watch your spending as both you and your boyfriend are in extravagant mode.

GEMINI
Your personal planet, Mercury, is stationary so your mind is sharper than ever, and everyone seems willing to listen as long as you don’t ramble but stick to the facts. Gossiping with co-workers is a no-no, no matter how juicy. Go for whatever you want. Your love life is a whirlwind, too.

CANCER
It’s easy now for you to reach out to a wider world - make friends with people from different backgrounds, cultures and philosophies so that even your wildest goals and dreams can come true. Love-wise too, you don’t want the same old boring routine. What can you do to put back the sparkle?

LEO
You could meet someone who can help you develop your talents, become a business partner or just a very good friend who will help stimulate your ideas and even lend you the money to turn your ideas into reality. If your boyfriend isn’t your best friend, at least have some fun sex.

VIRGO
Mercury, your personal planet, is no longer retrograde so chances are you can easily negotiate contracts and turn meetings to your advantage. Think about it today, and get all your facts and figures in order. In love, your moodiness could turn him off.

LIBRA
Your work and daily routine suddenly seems to snap into place, and everything becomes easier and less stressful. Is this the breakthrough you’ve been hoping for? Your business associates and colleagues have no admiration for you. Even your love life has no barriers.

SCORPIO
Your energy levels are higher, you have far more enthusiasm for your work and your ideas are different, but workable. A business partnership could come through as well. Love-wise, you want both romance and loads of lusty, intense passion. Luck is with you.

SAGITTARIUS
Everything to do with your family, your home and property deals start to move forward again, and negotiations go well if you are buying, selling or renting. Your intuition is sharp, but try not to let your emotions take over from common sense as you could be overly sensitive just now. In love, who is the boss?

CAPRICORN
Short trips are successful now that Mercury is stationary, and this is a great time to be in contact with your siblings or get involved in neighbourhood community projects. Think up ways of getting your daily routine at work more efficient. Your health should start to improve now, too. You’re quite demanding in love.

AQUARIUS
You can relax now as your finances improve with Mercury no longer retrograde. You have some crazy ideas for making money, but some of them just might work so discuss with those who matter. Love seems fun, but is he a keeper?

It might be quite emotional if an old friend from the past turns up or someone you once worked with offers an idea that will make you realise you can do and be anything you set your mind to. Your particular brand of comfort is highly sexual today.

ARIES
It’s time to switch off, relax and take time out for the weekend. If you are still restless and impatient you’ll need to find ways of taking your mind off your worries. Vigorous exercise outdoors or in bed will certainly help. Watch your spending!

TAURUS
It’s time to present your ideas and capabilities in greater depth than usual. Take time out this weekend to get them into order, work on your presentation and get ready for when the time is ripe. Work through your stubbornness - you need to be as flexible as possible, in every way.

GEMINI
Highly ambitious at the moment, you have a huge need for personal power which is easier to achieve when you gain a real understanding of yourself. You are highly popular today, and there is an unusual persistence to get your own way. Luckily, your boyfriend stays loyal.

CANCER
Make plans for the future. With so many people on your side, your career goals and other ambitions should start to move forward faster than they have for a while. Being on a different wavelength to your boyfriend could mean one of you wants to move on. Stay friends.

LEO
Being too pushy could turn away the very people you need to make your career flow. Even your friend’s promises may not stand up in the light of day. Do take care of your finances - it’s vital that you don’t rack up too many expenses. Love-wise, remember no-one is perfect.

VIRGO
Getting on well with colleagues is important as your personal reputation is at stake. Luckily, this is easier now so make sure you use the current ‘lucky space’ and show them what a loyal as well as hardworking friend you are. An erotic mutual massage session will liven up your love relationship.

LIBRA
Get your finances in order before you move on with your latest project. You just might need some extra skills to make your ideas really work. However, ask yourself if you really want to be an executive as you’d have to devote all your time to it. You might take over his life - but will you stay long-term?

SCORPIO
A new love affair might start slowly, but the build-up is highly erotic. With so much going on in your romantic life, it’s hard to think of anything else. Luckily, it’s the weekend so most of you can take a few hours off - you can’t always sit in the driver’s seat.

SAGITTARIUS
You make a wonderfully loyal, idealistic partner, but you need to bring total honesty to the table. Control your spending as much as you can, too, and don’t use money as a wedge to manipulate anyone, especially your family. You have a good life – enjoy it this weekend.

CAPRICORN
You have so many ideas to get your life on track and to be the best ever that you could become a bit pig-headed and want it all your own way. It’s time to focus, so choose the best one and put the others on hold. Enjoy socialising with your boyfriend this weekend, and don’t impose rules on him.

AQUARIUS
Deny it all you want, but you just love to be in control - of your family, friends and loved ones. Instead, take time out this weekend to focus on your finances and career as your creative talents are ready to shine brightly. Love-wise, won’t you be bored with a predictable boyfriend?

Old memories are coming back, but you have the ability now to understand and heal them. This will enable you to help others with similar problems. The good news is that you feel able to trust and share again with friends, family and your boyfriend. Expect some real pampering in return.

ARIES
The scheme you are working on could well work, but you do need to think about the impact this will have on your home and family. You’ll have to do some fast talking and juggling to keep everyone happy. Everyone is watching, and you glow with inner pride.

TAURUS
Expand the depth of your knowledge now, and listen to as many people as possible, especially business associates, but also friends. Then do everything with your newfound knowledge. It’s time to move forward, not stand still. Your appreciation of your boyfriend will grow, too.

GEMINI
There are serious life changes going on, and it’s time to be resourceful and independent as you use your newfound skills. The world is opening up to you, so don’t limit yourself. Develop your own values and priorities -you don’t have to accept the values of anyone else. The right man will be both sensitive and strong.

CANCER
Take your life in a bold, outgoing way. What do you want from it - love? Then let go of past disappointments. An interesting, fulfilling career? Take your power! Remember that energy follows thought, so visualise, fantasise and dream – it’s all happening.

LEO
Your attitude towards your body, your health and your daily routine work are all under the spotlight. It’s time to change your attitude and know that you are totally in charge of your life. Is there a power struggle going on? Be flexible. Sexually, let your feelings out.

VIRGO
You are very intense and stubborn at the moment. It’s time to bring more creative fun into your romantic life. Give up your determination to be the boss and control everyone all the time - life is full of brilliant possibilities just waiting to happen.

LIBRA
You have to believe completely in what you are doing - but do you know what it is you actually want? You have all the charm in the world, but at the moment you need to put in some hard work on both family relationships as well as on mundane things like redecorating. Love is a bit superficial, but fun.

SCORPIO
The manner in which you talk to people becomes more intense and serious, and you aren’t really in the mood for mixing with people who don’t interest you. You choose what you want to do, but in as charming and loving way as possible - especially with your boyfriend.

SAGITTARIUS
You need to focus on your financial priorities, earning sufficiently without letting money rule your life. If buying a property, make sure it is what is right for you rather than trying to impress anyone else. Let your boyfriend know you love him, not his money or status.

CAPRICORN
This is probably the right time to spend a few days by yourself, or with just your close friends and family to recharge your batteries and think about just what you can accomplish on your own using your many ideas. Take this time out to think about them in detail. Don’t keep your man on a tight rein.

AQUARIUS
Always into power and control, the gift today is the knowledge that inner power comes through helping others in a loving, giving and charitable way with no expectations of reward or gain. Be easy on yourself and your boyfriend - just let it all happen.

Don’t focus on things that have passed - let painful memories disappear into the background. It’s far more important to focus on the now and on making the money you need, so set up meetings, talk to experts and gain as much knowledge as you can.

ARIES
If you want to keep a healthy bank balance focus on health, exercise and diet as you move towards reaching your personal goals. Turn it into a flab attack! Feelings of inadequacy will be sent packing if you keep your computer and other skills up-to-date. A fantasy dream lover could become reality.

TAURUS
Try to keep your life and emotions in perspective, and whatever you do, don’t compromise your values otherwise you could lose your current relationship and money. Associates and friends are there to help and give advice, but you have to make the decisions. Femininity rules.

GEMINI
What you think is happing at work might not be the whole story, but you’ll have to wait a few days for all the answers. Don’t push to expand your personal influence - hold back for now. This is a wait-and-see time. Be a really good friend to your lover; if necessary, sex can wait.

CANCER
Indulging in self-pity or bouts of guilt doesn’t do you any good, and could almost become self-indulgence. You actually have everything going for you, so focus on all the things you want to do from travelling to learning new skills. Let your boyfriend bring some laughter and fun into the relationship.

LEO
You need people around who you can trust, especially with financial issues - keep a close eye on your bank accounts and investments and don’t fall for get-rich-quick schemes. It’s fine to be inflexible on certain issues - stick to your values! Love is burning hot.

VIRGO
Not everyone is as honest and straightforward as you are, so watch out for false promises. It’s important that you keep your public reputation intact - easy to lose and impossible to regain… Show your boyfriend just how much he means to you. He could be marriage material.

LIBRA
With so many opportunities for success coming your way, this isn’t the time for arrogance or you could lose the advantage. Slow down and keep to your daily routine in a practical way - you’ll soon overcome any minor obstacles. Take the sexual lead, but without losing your femininity.

SCORPIO
If you’ve spent unwisely before, you could well be reminded about it again. Think very carefully, especially if considering a loan or borrowing money from your boyfriend - ask yourself if you really need to. When it comes to love and romance, don’t be obsessive; just indulge.

SAGITTARIUS
No-one will be impressed if you exaggerate your prospects or take anyone for granted. You’ll do far better if you concentrate on the work that has to be done, using your creative skills. If you have to work overtime or take work home, do so willingly. And stick with simple lovemaking.

CAPRICORN
You have the creative ideas, and are ready to toss them around with your colleagues, but don’t expect them to be generous or helpful in return. Just put your head down and do what has to be done. Look after your health, and don’t let a lack of support stress you out. Relax - romance is in the air.

AQUARIUS
A lack of restraint might not only have damaged your health, but also your bank balance - an early night at home rather than clubbing is probably what you need. Can you still enjoy yourself without overspending? It’s your choice. Sex is complex, and quite erotic.

With so many financial opportunities opening up to you, it’s time to decide which path will be the most successful.

You offer real fulfilment to your boyfriend, but you also need to be appreciated.

ARIES
Your love life is becoming more serious, and you’ll know if this commitment is what you really want or if it will hinder your personal opportunities. Is the timing right? Your boyfriend will respect your honesty - he knows that you need your space. If your maternal instincts are sharper, then perhaps this is the time.

TAURUS
Friends and business associates are opening doors for you, with the emphasis on stronger alliances and more responsibilities. All you have to do is be more flexible and approachable in order to take advantage of it all. Your love life is glowing, too - especially if he shares your ambitions.

GEMINI
It’s all about using your attributes to further your career - use your brains as well as your beauty. Being fit and healthy is better than plastering your face with makeup to disguise too many late nights. Be organised and structured. Your business associates are there for you. Try not to be too demanding in love.

CANCER
If you’ve been taking a few risks lately, now is the time to be more responsible and committed to your cause - without losing your inspiring sense of fun and creativity! A love relationship needs the same commitment if your life is to be transformed.

LEO
Use your intuition to suss out what everyone’s motives are, especially at home - and then share your deepest feelings. Try not to be too bossy or pushy - you resent anyone telling you what to do, so don’t order them around, either. The same goes for your love life - let your boyfriend have his say, too.

VIRGO
Today is all about interacting with everyone in a sweet, loving way, and without being pushed around. Be organised, and ensure your meetings are structured and with real purpose. This is a good time, too, to get your car or computer serviced. In love, don’t give up your independence.

LIBRA
A new job offer could provide you with the financial resources you need – but, whatever you do, it will take hard work and added responsibilities to achieve everything you want. Sit down and decide what you really want. You have the skills to do whatever you choose. Avoid aggression in love if you can.

SCORPIO
Everything you do needs your personal productive attention if you are to reach your goals - and answer is in focussing in a mature and responsible way. You can be and do everything you want, so don’t limit you, but be ready to take on even more responsibilities. Love? Are you the winner - or the prize?

SAGITTARIUS
Try not to be overly sensitive today or you’ll pick up the moods and undercurrents of everyone around you. When you stay positive and self -confident you can easily influence them instead. Your inner strength helps you deal with a setback. Keep your love life simple and sexy.

CAPRICORN
Colleagues and friends are opening doors you didn’t know existed, much less locked - be co-operative towards everyone and show them just how responsible and mature you are with your talents, especially when working as part of the group. Love is a bit of a battlefield.

AQUARIUS
With the world opening up to you, make sure you follow a career suited to your particular temperament and abilities if you want to make the money you need. You are unique, so don’t follow the crowd. Love-wise, you don’t always have to be so feisty.

Making money is your priority and with Mars, your money planet, moving into aggressive Aries, you are in no mood to be thwarted by anyone or anything. Take the initiative - work overtime, take a second job or ask for a raise, but move on. You aren’t nearly as demure as you make out.

ARIES
Your personal planet has come out of the dreamy unrealism of Pisces into your own dynamic, energetic and inspirational sign. Plan now, but don’t expect results until the Sun joins Mars on the 20th. Your libido is buzzing again - a good sign that you are back to being your natural, sexy self again.

TAURUS
Being a bit secretive, and not wanting anyone to know what you are up to? Working alone some of the time will help you accomplish more than in a group, though you are in the mood to help everyone else. Your nurturing qualities are appreciated by your man, and it will be lust all the way.

GEMINI
The role you play in the lives of your friends and work associates is important. Do what you have to do, but don’t overload yourself or you won’t achieve much at all. Go after what makes you happy, and if this means working as part of a group, that’s even better. Sexually, you’ll be tireless tonight.

CANCER
Quiet, shy little water sign? No way! This is your turn to be in the limelight, so do whatever is necessary to promote yourself, your ideas and your talents. Take your courage and just do it! Sexually, the excitement spills over, too, and you thrive on danger.

LEO
Nothing is stopping you now - adventure calls, as does travelling abroad, working with people from different cultures and taking risks over the next few weeks. The last thing you want is to be sitting at home watching TV. Even your sex life smacks of the forbidden.

VIRGO
Mars moving into Aries suggests that finances are your main concern - both your own and those of a business partner or lover. It’s important that you collect money owed, as well as paying off your debts. If necessary, consult a financial expert to help. You are so ravishing at the moment that no-one can resist you.

LIBRA
You want your own way, but so do your friends, partner and co-workers. This is the time to let them have their say as you’ll accomplish far more with their help than on your own. You’ll find it hard to find time alone - but try, as you still need it. An argument will lead to wild sex.

SCORPIO
You are full of energy again, but you need to divide your time between your work, your home and yourself. Try not to be aggressive towards your co-workers or to do things too quickly or you’ll just make mistakes. Get fit, but take it easy if you start a new exercise plan. That goes for lovemaking, too.

SAGITTARIUS
Highly creative now, but do you ever know when to stop? Your love life is inspired and highly physical as you make it very clear what you want. If there’s no man around, phone friends and get your social life activated once more.

CAPRICORN
It’s time to direct your energy into a new venture whether it’s business, your home life or achieving your other personal goals. Plan now and take action later in the month when the Sun moves into Aries. Renovating and doing household repairs take up your time. You don’t hesitate when it comes to sex.

AQUARIUS
Apart from spending hours on the phone or computer in contact with friends, colleagues, siblings and neighbours, you are ready to rush around going to meetings and running errands. Slow down? Do take care on the road… Sex is erotic in the extreme - just as you like it.

ARIES
Listen to your intuition to really know what’s going on. What you think someone is saying might not be what they mean. Or perhaps you are the one not being clear? You’ll just have ask for clarity rather than getting irritated or self-righteous. At least you can expect more than comfort from your boyfriend.

TAURUS
Without a boyfriend? It’s time to join a new group, business organisation or try internet dating to make your social life more fun and interesting. In a relationship? There’s quite an attachment forming. Business-wise, this is the time to start a new project or job.

GEMINI
It’s time for self-promotion whether for you as a career woman or your personal aspirations.

You are so busy with your major ambitions there might not be much time or interest in a heavy sex life.

CANCER

LEO

VIRGO
The emphasis is on your relationships. Co-operation is the key, and not only are you willing to compromise, but you are able to persuade everyone to go along with your ideas, too. If you’ve been keeping your love life a bit of a secret, it’s probably time to open up about it.

LIBRA
The New Moon is the best time to start a new diet, exercise programme and to get rid of any bad habits that might be keeping you back from achieving your career goals. Use your increased energy to get your work space organised, freeing yourself up to take on any new opportunities. Love might be a bit too heavy.

SCORPIO
Your creative talents are buzzing, and ready to be taken to a higher level. Romance is on the cards for many of you, but you should watch your indulgence in all the good things (too much alcohol or fattening foods). Even your daily routine seems to be more fun.

SAGITTARIUS
The New Moon adds a new importance to your home, domestic environment and your career which just might be suffering because of family matters taking preference. Balance is needed, even if you do have more energy than usual. Take time out alone, and listen to your body’s intuition.

It’s hard for you to keep a grip on reality today, so join up with friends to help keep your feet on the ground. Show your feelings, but don’t burst into tears when you don’t get what you want. Use your heightened intuition so you know how far to take your sexual experiments.

ARIES
There’s a lot happening around you, and opportunities opening up. Take time out today to think them through so you follow your own dreams and passion rather than being influenced by anyone else. This will also help you sort out any other worries. You are more nurturing than usual, and your man will love the softer you.

TAURUS
A busy social day is what you need to snap you out of yourself. Your sense of humour is quite wicked, so use it to shake up your love life. Vigorous sex is better than any workout in the gym - which you need, as extravagant Jupiter is tempting you to over-indulge.

GEMINI
Your mind is more perceptive, but you have to keep concentrating so it doesn’t wander all over the place. Think and discuss your career with those who understand, and don’t make quick decisions that you’ll regret later. There is a solid bond between you and your boyfriend, even if you aren’t in the mood for commitment.

CANCER

It’s very hard for you to know exactly what you want, what is expected of you and even if your job is actually legal - think about how to clarify your position so you are ready to discuss it all tomorrow. Don’t get sick with worry - you can sort it out! Show your boyfriend how to calm your nerves.

CAPRICORN
Underneath your guise of capability, you could be a bit flaky and jittery today. It’s the weekend, so relax, baby! You don’t have to be strong all the time - let everyone, especially your friends, show you compassion and nurturing. Be patient in love.

It could be a bit of a stressful weekend if you don’t find a way to balance your work with some relaxation. Working with others accomplishes more, but you need time out alone to relax. Your travel plans might have to be changed or delayed – in the end, for the better. Great sex is the bonus.

ARIES
Business associates and friends are all trying to impose their values on to you, but if these don’t sit well with your own principles, speak up! Take time out to think about it - you don’t have to make an instant decision. Sex is temptingly erotic, but are you really in the mood?

TAURUS
Joining business groups will help you achieve everything, and give you very valuable experience. It may not be all plain sailing, but the end results will be worth it. Try not to criticise your boyfriend or take to heart anything negative he has to say - it’s just Saturn stressing you both out.

GEMINI
The more organised you are, the easier it’ll be to get everything finished. If you try to work in a mess, that‘s what the end result will be. You won’t even be able to rely on co-workers to help, so be prepared to do it all yourself. A night in with your boyfriend will calm your nerves.

CANCER
There could be some obstacles for you to solve - like a river, when one way is blocked by a fallen boulder, you find a way round it. You don’t even have to work very hard, as everyone has good ideas and is ready to help. Cosy cuddling will help put you in the mood again.

AQUARIUS
You have a lot of creative ideas for making money, but expect to take the flak if it all goes pear-shaped. Are you prepared to go it alone? If not, take a step back and re-think your strategy. You need to be on the same wave length as your boyfriend otherwise you can forget a comfortable love life.

Love-wise, you want to have fun as well as an intense, passionate relationship. You aren’t in the mood for just holding hands - you want it all. Luckily, you have many admirers so if you aren’t in a relationship, you soon should be. Using your creative skills at work will make you money.

SAGITTARIUS
You have the support of your family, but being too dogmatic or bossy could work against you so be co-operative and listen to what they have to say, too. Joint ventures and partnerships are well starred - though do you have the staying power to sustain them. Love is exciting, vigorous and fun.

CAPRICORN
Think up ways of getting your many ideas down to just one or two that really work, and then enlist the help of colleagues to get going. There’ll be more responsibility, but it’ll be worth it. Spending a night at home with your man looks inviting.

AQUARIUS
Discuss with your business associates and co-workers ways of making more money - you have the ideas, and now is the time to put them into practice. The more fun it is, the more your imagination works so the sky is the limit now. This spills over into your love life, too.

So much happening in so little time. Don’t be confused or feel pressured. You can do everything. When it comes to your career and making-money be spontaneous and treat your career goals as a life adventure. Love is just part of the adventure.

ARIES
You thrive on adventure, but do remember that you need certain of the details as well as the bigger picture. Don’t get wound up in them, though - just give yourself time to clarify what you really want and go for it. There are no rules in your love life, so do what you want!

TAURUS
Don’t delay - now is the time to go for what you really want. Your colleagues, associates, friends and boyfriend will all give you advice. Sift through it all because some of it will make you even more confused. It’s time to move forward. Your libido needs satisfying - the more erotic the better.

GEMINI
It’s time to make your career plans really buzz, and you’ll be stimulated by joining professional organisations and by participating in groups as they’ll help you realise you can achieve everything you want. Love shouldn’t be boring; it’s time to experiment.

CANCER
There might still be a few obstacles, but with your present determination you can overcome any difficulties or setbacks. Take your life as an adventure, grab every opportunity to travel, to widen your horizons and learn new skills. Try not to be too temperamental - it could put off lesser mortals.

LEO
Talk about being a few jumps ahead of the pack - you are miles ahead! Do you know what the end game is though? Fame, financial success? You can have it all and more if you focus. Friends and associates are only too happy to help. Explosive sex is your asset today.

VIRGO
Your love life, friends and co-workers should be your focus as you can make important changes to the way you think and act about them. Let your life really sing with your enthusiastic optimism. Family relationships will also improve as you become more independent and go-getting.

LIBRA
You have so many new ideas, rushing around sharing, talking, discussing that it might be in your best interests to stop, think and focus on just one or two? Otherwise your mind will be flooded and confused. You are in the mood to be naughty with no limitations.

SCORPIO
Your imagination is running riot - don’t let Neptune confuse you and make you uncertain. Now is the time to concentrate on making money. There are new opportunities, including joint ventures, coming your way, so don’t hold back. Think up new extravagant ways of lovemaking.

SAGITTARIUS
You are highly sensitive to every word and nuance today, but try not to overreact to your family and co-workers. Being supportive and helpful will gain everyone’s co-operation, and you’ll be able to negotiate contracts on your terms. Vigorous sex will calm your nervous energy.

CAPRICORN
If you’ve exhausted every angle, talked, discussed and investigated, then now is the time to go for what it is you want. You’ll have to accept more work and responsibilities but it will be well worth it in the end. Use your sense of humour both at work and in your love life if you want more than cosy lovemaking.

AQUARIUS
The focus all month is on making money. Now is the time to take a chance, fulfil the dream and have the prosperity that is within your reach. It’s best if your associates share the same values and creative vision. You are in sexy mode, and ready for anything.

This is a great socialising day, so get out there! A new, exciting opportunity for renting or buying a property is within your budget, too. Use your intuition, but remember to exercise common sense rather than extravagance. That goes for your love life, too.

ARIES
As you can talk anyone and everyone into agreeing with you today, you can make whatever plans you like which is especially good for charitable work. Over-indulge in a secret or fantasy love affair if you like; just be prepared for a ground-bumping reality check later.

TAURUS
A colleague or friend could come up with a money-making project which will take you out of your usual rut. It’s great fun, but will it work long-term? Don’t be talked into making a quick decision, but consider all the different aspects. In love, you need total togetherness today.

GEMINI
Something comes up that will take you out of a restrictive situation and allow you to achieve your personal goals without interference. It could mean separation from family and friends, though. It’s stimulating, exciting but a bit scary. Ask your boyfriend for his opinion.

CANCER
Your life won’t be uneventful today. You feel energetic and ready to do something totally out of your usual routine and, as your imagination is wilder than usual, there are no limits. You aren’t afraid of anything or anyone, though even you can be in for a bit of a surprise.

LEO
An unexpected boost of good fortune could come through a new friend or someone from a different country or culture. Don’t limit yourself - the more you interact with new people, the more personal freedom you’ll achieve. In love, you don’t have to prove anything.

VIRGO
You feel totally optimistic about your career goals, and you know that everyone - including your close family and partner - is lending their support, so go on and make your plans, even if they do take you out of your usual routine. Love-wise, it’s about time you took the lead with your fantasies.

LIBRA
An unexpected meeting could turn into a new love affair or an opportunity to travel overseas. You are focussed on your work, so will need the support of colleagues if you are to meet the financial needs. Discuss rather than keeping quiet. Love has a highly unexpected aspect to it, so go with your gut feelings.

SCORPIO
Your work seems unstable, as if you are trying to meet deadlines, but so much is going on that it’s hard to concentrate. Use your time as creatively as possible, and you’ll find all the financial help you need. Don’t let your emotions become too OTT - just have some good, ol’ sex.

SAGITTARIUS
You’ll get unexpected support from a friend or romantic partner over a domestic or family problem, so relax and do what has to be done. Discussions go well, and if you are planning a move, this is a good time to do it. Don’t delay in learning new skills to take your career up a notch. Love is unorthodox, but fun.

CAPRICORN
With so much going on at work, you find it hard to cope with upsets at home - but this is the right time to be more independent and responsible for yourself. The answer is in good communication with family, friends and especially your siblings. You’ll relax and enjoy your sex life more, too.

AQUARIUS
Nothing seems to be staying the same, but these new ideas are powerful so use your imagination to make your career and finances move upwards to a new level. It’s just the impetus you’ve been waiting for, so start today to make plans. Sex is unusual, but satisfyingly exciting.

This is one of the best days all month so be determined, express yourself, let everyone see you as you really are and use all your skills. Everyone else is pushing their agendas, too, so stay positive if you want to achieve it all. You ooze a healing energy today - use it! Sex and love are volatile.

ARIES
As long as you realise you can’t always work miracles but can only do your best you’ll be fine. Logic probably won’t work today, so just follow your intuition as you have to do all month. Luckily, you are full of energy so you will overcome any setbacks. In love, a workout will release tension.

TAURUS
Pluto, your love planet, is bringing sharing and trust to your love life which is extremely healing for you and adds another dimension to your life. Business associates and friends are supportive, but with Neptune involved, there is probably another agenda so don’t take everything at face value.

GEMINI
Take time out to think about your future goals, especially if you feel uncertain about what you want to do next. Don’t go along with the first thing offered, no matter how persuasive everyone is. It has to be right for you. If possible, let your love life bring some peace and serenity into your weekend.

CANCER
It certainly seems like you are ready for an adventure, and you aren’t in the mood to let anyone talk you out of it. Try to stay realistic. The last thing you need to do at the moment is to follow a guru of some kind or a fanatical religion. Romance may not bring you the love you need, but it satisfies your libido.

LEO
If you find family matters are getting too intense, visit friends to help you lighten up otherwise you could get so tense you’ll end up saying something you might later regret. Spend time alone if you can; there are enough people around when you want them. Sex is a great relaxer.

VIRGO
Love should be wonderful, but you could be holding onto a grudge or hurt that should be long forgotten by now. Don’t make quick decisions. It’s time to change how you see yourself - the more co-operative and interactive you are, the better.

LIBRA
You are enthusiastic about everything, from the smallest job to the biggest project. But not everything is what it seems, so don’t waste your energy on an unrealistic scheme. Use your intuition to sort out the good from the bad. Try not to be disloyal to your partner, no matter how tempted you are.

SCORPIO
You’re romantic, magnetic and in the mood for fun with an imagination that is just spilling with ideas. You really want it all. Slow down, think and don’t make quick decisions. You could be a bit insufferably self-opinionated. This won’t help your love life, even if your sex life is still highly active.

SAGITTARIUS
Think about how best to achieve your personal goals and business ventures - your energy is sharp, so get ready to make your move. Enlist the support of your family for the best results. Do keep an eye on the finances. For such a gregarious person, you really don’t want to share your man.

CAPRICORN
There could be a lot of driving, short trips and business meetings, so give yourself time to breathe otherwise you’ll end up exhausted or have a driving accident. Let your co-workers and associates help - you can’t take everything on to your shoulders. You might argue with your boyfriend, but the sex is hot.

AQUARIUS
You want to hold on to your ideas and your business methods, but perhaps this is the right time to change tactics. Instead of overreacting, stop and think - you might find it is just the solution you’ve been searching for. You enjoy a bit of rough treatment from your man - as long as he knows when to stop.

There’s the danger you’ll scatter your energy in too many directions. Use your highly tuned intuition to know what to choose, even if it means doing something adventurous and out of your usual comfort zone. Is love destiny or just drama?

ARIES
You have the opportunity to use your impulsive energy with intuitive understanding - an unbeatable combination. So, don’t delay - whatever you imagine can become reality. Your love life is hot, heavy and intense - can you lighten up a bit?

TAURUS
You have more than enough support, so get on with whatever you want to do with your life - there are many opportunities, so choose the one that you really want. Do you really need so much emotion in your love life? Just enjoy the feeling of total liberation it brings.

GEMINI
This is one of those lucky days where everything seems to be going for you… You can afford to be more altruistic as your career ambitions and goals seem to be within sight. Don’t burn the candle at both ends; it’s not good for your health. In love, you have the power.

CANCER
The more new experiences you have, the happier you feel at the moment. You are probably going OTT, though, demanding attention and scattering love in your need for adventure. Perhaps you should look at your love and sex life in a more spiritual way.

LEO
Your financial position certainly seems buoyant at the moment. Let others benefit from your acumen and knowledge. Your boyfriend should be generous with you, too - especially if you encourage his fantasies.

VIRGO
Everyone is dying to offer good advice, but it might not be what you want or need so use your intuition as well as your sharp mind to sort out what’s useful and what isn’t, especially regarding finance. You can easily bewitch your boyfriend, and convince him to do anything.

LIBRA
You could discover a skill you didn’t know you possess at work, and receive congratulations from all your co-workers. Don’t get over-tired - water therapy and meditation will help, but avoid overdosing on medicines, drugs and alcohol. Don’t show jealousy to your man.

SCORPIO
The pursuit of pleasure is uppermost and adventure calls, whether it’s a new man in your life, a trip overland through Africa or just socialising. Your imagination works overtime, and your magnetism pulls everyone to you. Love could become an obsession.

SAGITTARIUS
It is vital you become more sensitive towards the feelings of those close to you, especially family and your boyfriend if you want their support to help you achieve your goals. Avoid over-indulgence in good food and alcohol, however tempting. You can persuade your man to do anything today - go for it.

CAPRICORN
Your persuasive charm means you can achieve absolutely everything today, and get everyone to help you, too. Business meetings and short trips are a breeze. You don’t have to travel far to socialise these days - friends in your local community are more than enough. Love is satisfying, to say the least.

AQUARIUS
The focus is on making money and your career, and today is one of the best all month to achieve your goals as your mind is perceptive and open so following your intuitive instincts. If you have the same values as your boyfriend, it could get serious.

You know you should retreat from someone who is manipulating you or from a difficult situation, but you find it hard to let go. Take control, and work steadily to extricate yourself. Your self-confidence will be renewed as you let deeper relationships develop. You’ll find your beautiful dream will come true.

ARIES
It’s important that you keep in control of your own future rather than allowing others to make decisions for you. If you find that you aren’t happy with your present path, do what’s necessary to change direction. Don’t rush your decisions, but think everything through carefully. Love is a different, but delicious challenge.

TAURUS
It’s time to extend your boundaries and knowledge. Make the effort to make friends with people from different cultures, philosophies and countries, and to gain further knowledge that will give your career goals a lift - and you, extra power. He just can’t resist your feminine wiles.

GEMINI
Be ready to change direction when you realise that one of your plans just isn’t working, no matter how hard it is to let it go. You’ll soon feel the benefits of your new path, so be patient. The more inventive you are, the easier your fantasies will be realised - together.

CANCER
It is all about power, but if you try to control your partner, he could rebel and you’ll be the loser. It’s also vital he doesn’t control you, either. Co-operation and understanding where your partner is coming from is the answer - give in order to gain. Honesty and openness should rule your love life.

LEO
Your responsible attitude at work makes you indispensable so that you can negotiate your own terms. At the same time, added responsibilities play havoc with your health and stress levels so take control of your diet and fitness regime. Boost your boyfriend with flattery - it will get you everywhere.

VIRGO
You can develop your true potential now by using your creative talents in a deeper and more meaningful way. This could impact more people than you realise, and could have a lasting effect on your life. If you act like a spoiled child, your boyfriend will treat you like one.

LIBRA
Your family and domestic arrangements are the focus of your attention. You want to take control but there are other factors - such as feelings and emotions - to consider, too. You don’t have to break family ties, but do think big. It could be a totally new and exciting beginning. Love is complex today, too.

SCORPIO
You don’t like anyone prying into your affairs, so don’t do it to anyone else! There is even more intensity about you today as you put your ideas into the bigger arena. Use every communication method available. The best results come from trusting and sharing, and your man will adore you even more.

SAGITTARIUS
Your friends and colleagues are willing to help you achieve everything you want, but don’t use money to manipulate them either by pleading poverty or buying expensive gifts. Take control and work slowly towards your goals. You need a profound relationship - don’t settle for less, however good he is in bed.

CAPRICORN
Nothing else matters today - go for your own goals at this time. Be in control, take further training if necessary and have a make-over, but project the image of a strong, dynamic leader. You can have it all, so take it. Love is an emotional roller coaster, but highly sexual.

AQUARIUS
Do you have power - or are you the victim? Now is the time to take control and develop your life as you want it to be. Don’t let any previous setbacks mar your potential. You are strong, intelligent and powerful… just believe. In love, you give in.

Full of excitement over your latest money-making scheme? That’s great, but make sure it’s not just wishful thinking and actually feasible. You can certainly talk people into following your lead, but can you keep them there? Is your love life just an escape from reality?

ARIES
For once you are experiencing true compassion and you show your love in almost magical ways, not only to your boyfriend but to everyone around you. There are differences of opinion still, so just wait - your man will come round to your way of thinking. You want love to be a bit gentler than usual.

TAURUS
Your co-workers and associates want to help you as much as you support them, and working as part of a group will certainly help your cause. But you must tell everyone what you need, rather than getting disgruntled when you have to do all the hard work yourself. Love gets off to a cool start, but ends up hot.

GEMINI
If you want a peaceful life and a certain rise up the career ladder, you must make sure you don’t mix with anyone who could damage your reputation. Don’t indulge in excess alcohol or take social drugs. Your intuition will tell you - if you bother to listen. You’re probably too busy for sex today.

CANCER
Your home and family need your attention, but you want to experience the world and meet people from different countries with new ideas and philosophies. Balance is needed, but it can be hard to find! Try not to do too much or you’ll get stressed out. Romance should rule the bedroom.

LEO
Relationships could be confusing today. You think you’ve made it very clear exactly what you want, but Neptune is muddying the waters and not everyone will understand. Even your love life seems a bit superficial. At least you can still expect energetic sex.

VIRGO
What is it you want from your relationships? Think, because it might not be that clear at the moment, especially if others are trying to undermine your principles and values - or are your expectations too high? Be strong and honest with yourself. This doesn’t mean you have to be puritanical in bed, though!

LIBRA
While getting to grips with all the work that has to be done, at the back of your mind are thoughts of experimental, erotic lovemaking. It will certainly keep you more upbeat than the uncertainty and stress at work.

SCORPIO
Your imagination is running riot today, but if you believe that energy follows thought, whatever you visualise can become reality. The worst scenario is that you’ll take unnecessary risks with your money, your relationships and your sex life.

SAGITTARIUS
You could easily feel disappointed with your family or domestic arrangements, but just because there is a misunderstanding doesn’t mean you should immediately flounce away. Everyone makes mistakes - you just as much as everyone else. Forgive and forget! Pamper your boyfriend for the best sex.

CAPRICORN
What you thought was fact could easily turn out to be just fantasy, so keep checking and re-checking all information. Use as much practical common sense as possible if you don’t want your career to spiral downwards. Love-wise, you don’t suffer fools - but who is the emotional fool today?

AQUARIUS
It could be hard to keep to your usual unwavering principles today, but you have to try as you need a clear head to keep ahead of the financial game. Use your strong intuition as well as intelligence to know who is honest and who you don’t need in your life. Physical love will help you to relax.

With Venus joining so many other planets in your sign you ooze calm, love and harmony, though there are still feelings of stress when you don’t get your own way or feel too pressured. This is when you say something you later regret. It’s best to keep quiet and demonstrate your love in other ways.

ARIES
You usually aren’t very good at keeping secrets, and if you are involved in a love affair that you have to keep under wraps, you need to ask yourself why. You hate duplicity, but can fall victim to false flattery so take care and control your impulsive emotions.

TAURUS
You’ll thrive and succeed when working in a larger organisation or on a group activity rather than on your own over these next few weeks as you co-ordinate everyone’s efforts. They are inspired by your enthusiasm, too. You are one highly sexual woman tonight.

GEMINI
In the spotlight? Make the most of it as the more people who notice your charm, talents and business acumen, the better your future will be. Don’t be too opinionated - your co-workers have just as many good ideas and you’ll lose your cool if they prefer theirs. Tempestuous sex will calm your nerves.

CANCER
As Venus joins the Sun and other planets in Pisces your focus is on further education, travel and cultural pursuits rather than just on your work and career. It’s wise to think carefully before speaking so that you don’t upset your partner or anyone else. Don’t hold back tonight.

LEO
Today is all about working towards common goals rather than just on your own aspirations if you want to make really big money. All partnerships and business alliances look favourable, but you have to put in some hard graft. Give in to your boyfriend - or at least pretend to!

VIRGO
You focus on your friends, co-workers, family and boyfriend rather than on yourself, and you are full of loving advice, but as a Virgo these suggestions can come across more sharply critical than you intend. However, you can still make your boyfriend blissfully happy.

LIBRA
If you want to stay happy, contented and unstressed, it’s vital that your work environment is clean and pretty. If this means a coat of paint, some artwork or a pot plant, then do it. Enlist the help of your co-workers. When you are relaxed, your boyfriend will be more demonstrative.

SCORPIO
You are in the mood for more pleasure, a more exciting social calendar and for a few more adventurous lovemaking moves. Don’t upset a work associate or romantic partner by overreacting or you’ll find yourself apologising and having to and retract your remarks.

SAGITTARIUS
Your pleasure comes through your home and family life, so even when you’re at work, keep them at the back of your mind. Property ventures go well now whether you’re buying, selling or renting. Décor and renovation is another area where you’ll succeed, and your vision gets grander by the day.

CAPRICORN
Whatever you do, the use of charm together with a dash of humour will ensure that you succeed. You want to see the bigger picture today, not just the nitty-gritty reality. It’s all about getting your dreams and ambitions to become reality. Think up ways of getting your love life to be more exciting again.

AQUARIUS
It’s fine to spend money on looking your best, but if you keep making those unexpectedly cutting remarks, you’ll end up friendless and alone. There’s intense passion around today, ready to calm any inner tension and fulfil your dreams.

Your enthusiasm for conquering the world is so OTT that the slightest setback brings you crashing back to earth, which then leaves you confused and uncertain. Relax, and try a bit of moderation. The same goes in your love life - it’s either head over heels in love - or indifference…

ARIES
If you try to analyse everything too much, you’ll just get confused, whether it’s a health problem that miraculously cured itself or a task at work that quickly got sorted. Just don’t boast or take all the credit. Your love life is a mystery, too - but it works!

TAURUS
As you rush around helping all your friends, co-workers and associates to do their work, using your creative ideas to make them money, why not think about your own needs before you overload yourself. Love sees passion becoming cool and calculating.

GEMINI
Trying to balance your OTT enthusiasm for both your home life and your career makes you feel tense and exhausted. Don’t overestimate how much you can do, but add a little restraint. Everything will still get done, though may take a bit longer. Love is moodier than usual.

CANCER
Giving yourself boundaries is the last thing on your mind as you have your dreams and the inspiration to go after them. Just remember that in order to reach the heights you usually have to face the depths - pain before ecstasy… Watch out for car, computer and communication glitches.

LEO
Do the means really justify the ends? Your enthusiasm for reaching your financial goals could make you do things you later regret, like taking out a loan you can’t afford to replay. Moderation is needed - without losing your self-confidence. Love is lustful if you can avoid jealousy.

VIRGO
Are you ready to give up some of your freedom? If there are conflicts between your career goals and your love life, perhaps this isn’t the time to force a decision. Don’t let your enthusiasm for one or the other cause conflict - you are confused enough. Wait, think and enjoy.

LIBRA
Adventure calls - maybe a move overseas or holiday abroad? Don’t limit yourself, but don’t let your enthusiasm lead you into danger. A little moderation is needed so that you pursue the most suitable, but fun option. There doesn’t seem to be very much heat tonight.

SCORPIO
Working on your own will be more productive for you than working with others, especially if they don’t agree with everything you propose. Finance-wise though, try not to be too extravagant. Keep the passion for your love life instead.

SAGITTARIUS
You rush headlong into every situation in order to do what you want to, but it’s important that you try to be fair and objective. If colleagues, your family and even your lover still disagree, then you’ll just go your own way. You approach love and life differently today - expect conflict.

CAPRICORN
You know you should get down to the details, but your enthusiasm for everything today makes you only see the big picture. Don’t let this inner conflict cause you stress - just slow down, and try to see things from both perspectives. You veer between hot and cold - exciting but unpredictable…

AQUARIUS
Shopping today means conflict between necessities and luxuries, and restraint will be needed before you totally use up all your credit. Be creative - will anyone really notice it’s not a designer bag? Passion and romance win big.

If you are spending the day at home with your family, they will appreciate your generosity and warmth - but perhaps not the way you push your opinion onto everything they do. Instead of becoming frustrated, just smile and keep quiet. Your boyfriend wants you all to himself.

ARIES
Instead of being too optimistic, use today’s energy to re-think and see if you have the knowledge and skills to achieve the results you want. You can then make adjustments where necessary so that you’ll be able to move on with confidence. Offer romantic warmth as it probably is real love.

TAURUS
You like to radiate an air of luxury, but don’t try to impress anyone. Just be yourself - your popularity doesn’t depend on the size of your bank account but on your natural, loving personality. Let your tactile creativity keep your boyfriend fascinated.

GEMINI
Working on any kind of project could be frustrating as it seems no-one is that interested in listening to you today. Do your best, smile and let them get on with it. You probably aren’t listening to them either! The good news is your boyfriend still thinks you are fantastic.

CANCER
Try not to indulge in self-pity today or make others feel guilty - it will only turn people against you. Take refuge in your spiritual beliefs, and take time out to relax, meditate and re-charge your inner batteries. Love-wise, you are even hotter than usual.

LEO
You are so determined to have your own way and so self-confident that you are in danger of your friends getting fed up with you. Cool it, and let them have their say, too - you don’t have to be right all the time. When you give your boyfriend a break, love shines.

VIRGO
You’ll come across some stubborn or even antagonistic people today. Don’t even try to argue or reach a compromise. It’ll be far better to take time out, alone if necessary, to watch a movie or read that book you’ve not had time for. You might have a better time with your boyfriend - but don’t count on it.

LIBRA
Asserting yourself through name-dropping just won’t work as your friends just won’t be impressed at all. It’s far better to get stuck into those boring tasks you’ve been putting off, like tidying your desk or dressing table, and chucking out unwanted items. An argument with your man will stimulate your libido again.

SCORPIO
Don’t rush into a joint venture just because you meet someone who likes your creative ideas - rather than benefitting you, it could mean a big loss, especially if you don’t really get on with them. Think very carefully, even if it means delaying a decision. Sex is great, but is he right for you?

SAGITTARIUS
Just because you are related doesn’t mean you get along or agree on everything all the time. Don’t take it all to heart or overreact, it’s just a glitch in the stars, and it will all look better in a few days. Do keep an eye on your keys, documents and valuables at home. Love is vigorous.

CAPRICORN
You seem weighed down by minor problems - a flat tyre, you’re late for your lift, you’ve run out of coffee or you’re developing a headache. To top it all, no-one seems willing to sympathise or help. Don’t let frustration cause depression; the heavens are heaping similar problems on everyone else, too. Even sex could be disappointing.

AQUARIUS
If you’ve been a bit selfish, self-indulgent and not interested in the needs and wishes of your partner, you might regret it as he is probably being a bit distant towards you now. Money and expensive gifts won’t help - just ride it out. Lovemaking still seems passionate, which will help.

Your creative talents runs riot, and you have loads of new ideas - but you’ll probably abandon them even before they start. You’ll get more out of the day if you keep your mind focussed on one thing at a time, including your daily routine.

ARIES
Don’t let your imagination dwell on or exaggerate the unhappy times. Use your sixth sense to help you make decisions, but avoid the dark side. Get in touch with your more upbeat friends - those who make you laugh and keep you positive. Your sex life could be ecstatic if you allow it to be.

TAURUS
A flash of brilliance is all it takes for you to impress colleagues and associates - show them what you are made of. Your confidence grows daily, but does this mean you can relax financially and spend on luxuries? Not yet! Give way rather than dominate - your boyfriend will love it.

GEMINI
Concentrate on your work and career - there are many opportunities opening up, and you don’t want to miss out. Finally you can see where your career is going as the restraining influences seem to fade away. Today you want sexual rather than domestic bliss…

CANCER
Your optimism spills over to all areas of your life and your feet start to itch, so plan your next holiday and book those tickets.

LEO

SCORPIO

CAPRICORN
Expect delays today - your transport could break down, the people you need to contact are out or away, or an important letter doesn’t arrive. You’ll just have to grin and bear it. Your mind is full of ideas - just keep them ready for a few days. Love is stylish, but a bit old-fashioned.

AQUARIUS
Your mind is usually so quick and agile, but today you think slowly and methodically - perhaps just as well as finance is involved and you don’t want to make quick decisions. Your love life is great as you want passion with dollops of fun.

Not everything will go according to plan, so be positive and confident and accept the bigger picture. It will all work out, so don’t get stressed. In the meantime, use your creative talents to bring more fun into your love life – if that’s possible!

PISCES
You could be worrying about the cost of living – rent or your mortgage, and keeping up with the daily increases. Do you need to find another way of increasing your earnings? Your family has many ideas, and while not all of them work, it only takes one. Your libido sings when you’re in a solid relationship.

ARIES
This is a good time to change your image as you find a different side to your personality. Friends and business associates will look at you with new eyes. This ‘new you’ could make you less restless and more stable as you express yourself. At least your libido remains the same.

TAURUS
Career-wise, nothing seems to work according to plan. You seem busier than usual, rushing from one thing to another. The important thing is not to get too stressed or your health will suffer. Your boyfriend should encourage you to relax in whatever way suits you both.

GEMINI

VIRGO
Today you are not going to get what you want or expect. Be positive and don’t throw a hissy fit, but put your head down and see what you can do to make things work for you. Start by being as cooperative as you can be and using all the charm you can muster. Love is moody and fickle today, but the sex could be great.

LIBRA
Support comes from quite unexpected places. It might be unorthodox, but don’t dismiss the help offered. Just add practical common sense as well as real appreciation, and you’ll wonder why you worried. A love relationship is stimulating, but maybe not as committed as you’d like.

Your home and your work are subject to change, making you feel unstable and unsure of what to do next. Bring out your new ideas, be open to suggestions and let everyone know how you feel, while using as much charm as you can muster. Love-wise, you seem more reserved than usual.

AQUARIUS
You want everyone to follow your ideas on making money, but not everyone has your insights. Well, everything is unpredictable so perhaps it’s better to go it alone as there is still the danger of wrong timing. Love is transformative, but quite wild.

Your love and sex life could be confusing today, but you don’t have to do anything that makes you uncomfortable.

VIRGO
Try not to put out a distorted self-image - it’s important that everyone knows exactly what you are about, ie thoughtful, analytical, discriminating and efficient. You need both friendship as well as long, drawn-out sex sessions today. A quick one-night stand just won’t do it for you.

LIBRA
Your daily responsibilities seem to be rather vague. Try to get clarity on exactly what is expected of you so that you can carry them out to the best of your abilities. Don’t talk about your work either, especially if it’s of a confidential nature. Laughter and fun will stimulate romance.

SCORPIO

AQUARIUS

Communication is key to your love life - through action, not words.

You are your own person, so you don’t have to accept anyone else’s values - isn’t it time to use your skills and abilities to become financially independent? You can do it, so plan and be your usual, brave self. In love, you probably need to strike a bit of a bargain with your man.

TAURUS
Everyone is willing to help you, but you must ask yourself at what price? Would you be better off going it alone - especially if there are serious disagreements or different opinions about your career goals? Love-wise, relationships are much better - warm, comforting and earthy.

How will you have fun this weekend? Perhaps you need a more mature and fulfilling approach to your life rather than chasing the pursuit of pleasure in too many directions? Your creative talents are just waiting to be used as you broaden your outlook. In love, it’s your turn to be the teacher.

LEO
It’s vital that your home is happy, that you get on with your family and that they support your goals and aspirations. The same scenario applies if you live with your boyfriend. Otherwise you’ll be dragged down by disappointment - take back your power! Love is hot.

VIRGO
If you think you have too many responsibilities, work out how you can change your life. What can you give up and let go of? Don’t be scared, but think through your ideas very carefully. You might decide to change course.

LIBRA
If you’ve been irresponsible with money, now is your chance to make amends - not all work is for financial gain as personal satisfaction and experience are just as important and, oddly, could make you progress even faster. It seems that your latest love is a serious matter - for one of you at least.

There is only one truth - that you are responsible for everything you do, that you make your own decisions and that you don’t blame anyone else.

Transform your life by doing what you really enjoy and you’ll find that your bank balance will increase together with your status. One of your parents could give you some important advice - listen, as you could well gain from it. You’ll forgive all your boyfriend’s faults if he satisfies your needs.

PISCES
Your broad insights make it possible for your visions to become reality, so don’t limit yourself - go for your big chance. Speak to associates and friends if you need their support and help. You can do anything, so go for it! Your boyfriend will be even more devoted, and will give you whatever you ask for.

ARIES
It’s time to use all your skills and abilities to get the money and career satisfaction you want. You’ll have to be disciplined, though, as well as patient if you really want to see all your dreams come true. You might set your sights on that earthy hunk - but he might be slow to appreciate what you have to offer.

TAURUS
Friends and groups could be the source of your success by introducing you to the right people so that your career really takes off. A friend could introduce you to a prospective new boyfriend too, so rather than sitting at home, be proactive. Love is lusty.

GEMINI
Whatever you touch today will be successful, so focus on your goals and work towards them. Transform your life - partnerships will work well, but keep an eye on joint finances. Love-wise, you are more than usually sensitive to his needs as well as your own - enjoy!

CANCER
It seems your inspirations come from a higher source - or are the planets just working together to make your creative talents really work rather than just stay in your head? There’s a lot of emotion in your love life; be ready with that box of tissues.

LEO
You are ready to share your deepest feelings with your boyfriend, but is he ready for all this emotion, and does he realise just how ambitious you are? Sexually, you need to let your hot libido be satisfied. At work, there could be a power-struggle, but your tact and diplomacy will see you through.

VIRGO
You make great progress today at work because of the easy way you talk to associates, the way you overcome obstacles and the way you listen to everyone’s ideas and opinions. Love-wise, your pursuit of pleasure is quite intense - with some exotic sexual moves thrown in.

LIBRA
Use your innate skills to make financial decisions - you could be offered the loan you need, too. Just make sure you have all the facts and figures you need. You should decide what really is important rather than what is expedient. Femininity rules, so don’t be pushy!

SCORPIO
It is easy for you to go for what you want today, and your self-image is soaring so make sure you eat a healthy diet, exercise and do whatever is necessary to look your very best as you move towards achieving all your personal goals. Love is in the air - are you showing your feelings?

SAGITTARIUS
Sensitivity rules today. Share your ideas with colleagues, but be very aware of their feelings and opinions. Listen to your intuition for guidance, and don’t overreact if not everyone agrees with you. For once, spending time at home with your boyfriend might be just what you need.

CAPRICORN
Everything is going for you today as you have an intuitive grasp of what to say and when to say it. Group discussions, neighbourhood meetings all benefit from your input. Romance is in the air too - and your boyfriend appreciates your need for luxury.
]]> Fri, 15 Feb 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/13-february-2013 AQUARIUS
You have some very unique ideas; now it’s up to you to put them across without being too pushy. You are prepared to go your own way, but in the meantime don’t get impatient, even if it means pretending to be interested in what others have to say. In love, at least, you are happy and playful.

PISCES
You worry that you don’t have enough money - luckily, you have some good ideas about how you can earn enough to be truly financially independent. If you allow them, your friends will be willing to help you through any bad times. Try not to smother your boyfriend with too much emotion.

ARIES
You are so eager to be free of all restrictions that you could behave in quite a rebellious way - but before you scare off your boyfriend, let him know that he isn’t included in your need for independence. Show him, as no other woman can, just how much he turns you on.

TAURUS
Changes that happen now will not just be a new job, for example, but will bring you feelings of independence and the knowledge that you can be and do anything. When you feel strong you make your boyfriend strong, too, and your love life really benefits.

GEMINI
Something could happen to make you change your goals, or alter the way you feel about your family and friends. You want a more stimulating role, and to easily express your ideas and views as you expect them to listen and follow your lead. If you can’t resist your boyfriend, he certainly can’t resist you.

CANCER
You can do anything, so don’t limit yourself. It might not be easy, and it certainly won’t be uneventful. A new partnership could be on offer, but don’t rush into anything without investigating very carefully. You need to give loving support if you want your boyfriend to reciprocate.

LEO
This is a good time to go away for a while - to travel abroad, take advanced training and meet with people who can offer new ideas. Think logically about your home and family, and know that you might have a hard time explaining your new ideas. Nothing less than vigorous sex will satisfy.

VIRGO
Your financial circumstances could be changing - but whether it’s for better or worse is up to you! Luckily, luck is in your workplace and your career should be leaping forward now. The trick is all in good communication. Sexually, let him know you aren’t as pure as you like to make out…

LIBRA
Good relationships get stronger while poor ones will just cease to exist. You need your independence. If you have a goal or a dream, now is the time to go after it rather than waiting for it to happen. Finance-wise, logical thinking is needed.

SCORPIO
You could be offered a new job, or just suddenly decide to move on. The answer is not in overreacting or making quick decisions, but thinking carefully. Saturn in your own sign urges you to be as rational as possible. Love seems to be all-consuming - do you have the time?

SAGITTARIUS
Always dramatic, you seem almost OTT today, relishing the idea that everyone is talking about you, watching what you do, and checking who you are with, and the more unorthodox, the better. A fear or worry from the past could materialise again. Deal with it! Love is luscious.

CAPRICORN
It’s time to consider what makes you happy and fulfilled, and to rid yourself of the things that are holding you back. Be careful, though - you don’t want to alienate your family in your bid for independence. So, slowly, slowly work towards your goals. Your fighting spirit slips into your love life.

Rather than accept what you think is happening, use your logical mind to work out what is actually the truth. When you talk in a warm, loving way you’ll have a better response than when you are full of self-pity. Romance and fun sex are abundant - there’s no need to manipulate him!

PISCES
Do you need clear boundaries when it comes to money? It’s fine to be idealistic, but you do need to keep your feet on the ground. You have the practical sense, so use it to help you achieve your dreams. You want an easy love life too. Indulge in sexual richness.

ARIES
In order to achieve your career ambitions you must be as practical as possible. The pressure you put yourself under will actually help you achieve your goals rather than hindering you, despite some setbacks. Your sex life seems more urgent than loving.

TAURUS
The last thing you want is to feel confined. You need the freedom to express and be yourself, but there are other urgent matters, like career commitment and making money. If you keep your colleagues on your side, you’ll win. You want all your fantasies fulfilled tonight.

GEMINI
Your emotions seem a bit highly charged today, and could intrude on your friendships. If this impacts on a business associate it could lead to trouble, so keep the two sides of your life separate. You are ready to try anything new - your lucky boyfriend!

CANCER
You might feel that you have to get on with your career goals and let your relationships wait. If you can balance the two sides, you’ll have a happier and more fulfilled life. Is it time to take the lead? Let others follow you for a change - including your boyfriend.

LEO
You know you have to be serious about your work responsibilities, but you seem to find the routine unfulfilling. This could lead to a bit of a headache, so take care - especially if there are disagreements over finances. The right boyfriend will make everything exciting. Give him a Valentine’s night he won’t forget!

VIRGO
Don’t let the intensity of your moods today dampen your enthusiasm for using your creative talents at work. The same goes for your love life - let love, romance and passion rule. You’ll still get the routine work finished, but in a much more effective and happy way.

LIBRA
For once you find it easier to make a decision, and you do everything that needs to be done quickly and efficiently. This is at both work and at home where you find the members of your family listening to what you have to say. Only the wildest sex will satisfy your Valentine’s Day needs…

SCORPIO
Prepare a St. Valentine’s feast for your boyfriend - what will bring out the romance and turn the relationship into whatever you want? It might mean a bit of extra work, but the results will be worth it. A good day for getting to the bottom of problems at work - just don’t over-analyse.

SAGITTARIUS
Be totally honest about your financial needs - yes, you do need a light touch but it’s important you don’t avoid the issue. A romantic interlude at home with your boyfriend could turn a love affair into a really cosy, permanent relationship - if, of course, that is what you really want.

CAPRICORN
Trying to balance your own personal needs with those of your family could be proving to be quite emotional - don’t listen to blackmail or manipulation. You have the energy, ideas and information you need to accomplish anything you want. Have faith.

]]> Thu, 14 Feb 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/12-february-2013 AQUARIUS
Worrying about your work and finances won’t help - spend time on your own, think in a logical way and then listen to what others have to say. Discussions will help clarify any problem areas so that you can find ways of sorting them out. In love, you seem supportive, but distant…

PISCES
Even if you are have a sleek, perfect body you will probably feel fat, pale and unfit today. Not only that, but everything else seems to be failing you, too. No-one will persuade you otherwise, so go ahead and suffer in silence… Love is one area where you reach new heights of ecstasy.

ARIES
There’s so much to worry about, especially if a joint account or partnership is involved. You’d prefer to worry and think things through alone, but discussing it with a colleague or friend could give you a wider perspective. Let your boyfriend know you need empathy and support.

TAURUS
Career and financial matters still loom large, but while the Sun is in Aquarius you’ll find that taking a lateral approach will be far more rewarding - one that business associates appreciate. Use your powers of persuasion to get what you want. An emotional see-saw rules your love life today.

GEMINI
You could be quite the worrier today, whether it’s to do with work, your career and whether or not to take further training or to go abroad to gain more experience. Don’t rush into anything, but focus - the right answers will come to you. A love bond could be stronger than you realised. Does this suit you, though?

CANCER
You want a bigger demonstration of passion than your man gives today - but is this because you are feeling a bit bored and need more excitement in your life? Consider working abroad or taking a holiday somewhere exotic. Someone could offer help or advice - think about it.

LEO
You have some deep, penetrating insights into what you really want and how to get it. Go on, do it - especially if your home life and family aren’t giving you the support you need. You need to complete any unfinished business first. Love is fast and furious.

VIRGO
Loving helpfulness and logical thinking with just a tad more enthusiasm when talking to colleagues will make everyone supportive and willing to go along with your ideas. Your career will then take off in whatever direction you want. Your love life benefits from this energy, too.

LIBRA
You seem to have a niggling financial problem today - possibly because you’ve recently spent too much and are now having to work extra hard to catch up. You’ll soon do it, but it will take a lot of persuasion for your family to bail you out. Your sex life is inspirational, though.

SCORPIO
Use your imagination and creative talents to feel good about yourself again. Now is the time to correct any poor self-image by getting your health and fitness plan up and running – literally! Romance is everywhere, so enjoy. Is this the soul connection you’ve been searching for?

SAGITTARIUS
This is one time that you must face your fears and worries rather than brushing them aside - and, whatever you do, don’t wallow in self-pity but get on with what has to be done. You have the inner strength to take your life where you want it to go - do it! Do you really need to be told how sexy you are?

CAPRICORN
Whatever you are doing and whatever type of success you are after, the answer is in your communication skills. When you offer rational and logical ideas, in a serious but humorous way, you’ll succeed in everything you do. When you’ve talked through sexual and emotional problems with your partner, love wins.

]]> Tue, 12 Feb 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/11-february-2013 AQUARIUS
Use your sharpened intuition to guide your investments - you’ll know what to buy, and what will increase in value. Designer shoes will work short-term, but you need to focus on building real money and influence. Tension in your love life? Relax and let it happen…

PISCES
Stop feeling sorry for yourself - just take your courage and do what has to be done yourself, even if it means no-one, not even your family, will help you fight for what you know is right. You’ll feel wonderfully relieved afterwards. In love, forget the tissues and try to laugh more.

ARIES
You need to be in communication with as many people as possible, exchanging ideas and information, but a lack of moderation in the way you speak could make you lose status. Slow down and think before you speak. You are unusually soft and feminine today. He loves it - and you!

TAURUS
You seem unusually controlled today when talking to your colleagues as well as to your boyfriend; almost distant. It’s better than having hasty opinions, but even so, you do need your usual sense-of-humour to keep you buoyant. Love-wise, if you want commitment make sure the sex stays fun.

GEMINI
You might feel you don’t have enough personal power, but it’s a temporary setback so ride it out and control your impulse to speak before you think. Take advantage of offers to advance your training if it will help your career goals. Sex isn’t that important, but you enjoy the demands made on you.

CANCER
An emotional day, but if your man satisfies your needy libido, you’ll be transported to another dimension. Being honest about your feelings is necessary, but might not have the results you imagined - for better or for worse. Finances are the issue at work - get them right.

LEO
You will really have to listen to your intuition to get to the truth of the situation as everyone and everything is telling you something different. The answer? Don’t make any decisions at the moment until it all becomes clear. At least your lovemaking is still alive and well.

VIRGO
The pursuit of pleasure has a distinctly clinical approach, and it’s time to let your dreams free of restrictions, especially if these involve your love life. Don’t talk - just surprise him with extravagant gestures. Keep your organisational skills for the office where they’ll be really appreciated.

LIBRA
If you are still battling with a situation, perhaps it’s time to make a complete break and try something new - you have the imagination and organisational skills at your fingertips. This inspiration spills over into your love life, too, as romance blossoms and satisfies your deepest needs.

SCORPIO
You see everything, but only make decisions from your point-of-view. Real communication means listening as well as talking. Your imagination is working overtime - use it in all areas of your life, not just in your love relationships. Your dreams are being realised - lucky you!

SAGITTARIUS
Stop trying to get everyone to tell you how wonderful you are; you should know that by now. Use your intuition to help you with family matters, especially emotional ones that have been worrying you. Love-wise, you might need a bit of peace on your own today.

CAPRICORN
Thank goodness you are a practical woman so that you can use compassion and understanding when dealing with problems rather than letting everything get on top of you. Your loyalty and protective qualities do you credit - as long as your boyfriend deserves them.

]]> Mon, 11 Feb 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/10-february-2013 AQUARIUS
Take the energy of the New Moon to focus on yourself - is it time for a makeover or to start a new diet? How well do you co-operate and work as part of a team? There are different styles of leadership - be prepared to adjust rather than being too quick to judge. Expect a break-up if you are unfaithful…

PISCES
If someone tells you a secret, then keep it that way - if you gossip it will turn against you, so be very clear about your motivations. Use the New Moon to bring you renewed determination and strength. Don’t be scared of widening your horizons through travel and learning new skills. Make time for love…

ARIES
Enjoy your social life today by being more assertive - invite friends over, meet them at the coffee shop or contact people you haven’t seen for a while. Be generous, not only with money, but with your time and leadership qualities. What goes on in love is your affair.

TAURUS
The New Moon puts you in the public eye once more, so make sure you look and act the part. It’s time to promote yourself to ensure you achieve your ambitions. Listen to your parents - they could give you some really good advice. There’s tension in your love life, but great sex.

GEMINI
This is the time to start advanced training or learn new skills, and to take your career ambitions up a few notches. Don’t limit yourself, but use the energy and enthusiasm of the New Moon to be even more outgoing and assertive. Sex is fast, furious and a little bit unreal.

CANCER
Your libido is buzzing today… have you met someone new, or are you just trying out some sexy moves? Your interest in money is sharp, too - especially if involved in a partnership or when negotiating a loan. This is a good time to research new investments and ways of making your money work for you.

LEO
All your relationships take on new importance including friends, associates and competitors, whether rivals for the same job or boyfriend. At work, this is a good time to start negotiations and write contracts - plan now and act later. Follow his lead in love.

VIRGO
Take time to ask yourself what motivates you at work, in your health matters as well as at home. Don’t ignore the daily responsibilities and routine tasks, but now is the time to prioritise, get organised. A beauty treatment will help you relax ready for surprisingly active lovemaking.

LIBRA
The New Moon makes you far more romantic, imaginative and fun - but even more self-indulgent than usual. Use your creative talents now to improve your standing at work as well as the admiration of your social circle. Love is dramatic and energetic.

SCORPIO
The New Moon activates the interest in your home and property - perhaps purchasing new furniture or linen, decorating or renovating, or just buying yourself a bunch of flowers. Family relationships take up your time, and co-operation is necessary. Love is seriously sexual.

SAGITTARIUS
You need to be with stimulating friends today, laughing, chatting and exchanging ideas – and, most of all, to be making new contacts. If it’s boring, just get up and leave. Life is too short for Ms Sag to waste yawning. The same goes in your love life - he’d better come up with some new, sexy moves…

CAPRICORN
The New Moon makes you question your earnings and finances. Investments become more important so take professional advice. Don’t overspend in order to impress anyone; you won’t gain any kudos. Love has to be a mix of practical purpose with sexual fulfilment - does it tick these boxes?

]]> Sun, 10 Feb 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/09-february-2013 AQUARIUS
Full of optimism today, you are prepared to take risks - just be aware that there could easily be a clash or difference of opinion over your more experimental ideas. It’s probably best not to argue; just keep a low profile for a day. Your boyfriend probably needs more of your attention.

PISCES
Rather than pushing for an argument or for getting your own way, especially with your boyfriend and family, it would be better to take time out on your own. Co-operation will get you further than a head-on collision at the moment. You can still enjoy some erotic sex.

ARIES
You enjoy having an important role to play in the lives of your friends and associates, but they might view your words as interference rather than helpful advice. Keep your comments to yourself for a couple of days. Lovemaking is fun, but there isn’t much emotion involved.

TAURUS
Try not to lose control of your spending today! You’ll be faced with extra bills that have to be paid, so make sure you keep enough in the bank. At work co-operation is essential as you’ll achieve more through teamwork than going it alone. Love is complex, so don’t overreact.

GEMINI
Listen to what an authority figure like your father or boss has to say if you want to avoid a difficult situation. Being too headstrong will only work against you, and you don’t want to damage your image. Love-wise, a confident attitude is better than being too clingy.

CANCER
Don’t use emotional blackmail to get what you want - stay confident and upbeat and you will make positive gains, even though these might not be obvious at first. Some of your plans may have to be postponed. Don’t fret! Try to avoid fights with your boyfriend – instead, just enjoy healing lovemaking.

LEO
A business partnership as well as a love relationship could be ruined through mismanagement of joint finances, so it’s necessary for all parties to be aware of everything that goes on. You want instant decisions, but it might be better to wait.

VIRGO
Not everyone is as honest and straightforward as you, but overreaction could mean you lose everything. Try a different approach - your optimism and positive thinking will pay off in the end. No matter what the differences are between you and your boyfriend, you only see the good - it’s like a dream…

LIBRA
You want to love everyone today, but don’t name-drop or social climb as you have everything going for you, anyway. Advanced training will help boost your career prospects. Use your creative imagination, but don’t ignore the daily responsibilities. Spontaneous lovemaking rules.

SCORPIO
It might be hard to collect money owed to you. Consider taking legal action, though using co-operation, tact and diplomacy just might work first. No matter what the problems, if you really are in love, you’ll survive the bad times.

SAGITTARIUS
It is all about communication, and an argument with your family or over a property deal could turn really nasty. Try not to exaggerate the situation, but stay as calm as possible. You’ll think differently about it tomorrow. Be confident and generous, especially with your boyfriend. It could be a long-term thing.

CAPRICORN
Your sexual prowess is honed and shiny today, and you can have it all. You enjoy being in charge of all aspects of your life, which is just as well as no-one seems willing to help you today. Just get on with what has to be done in your usual competent, hardworking way.

]]> Sat, 09 Feb 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/08-february-2013 AQUARIUS
Always independent and a bit remote, today you seem even more unemotional than usual. Luckily, when you remember to use your sense of humour it will soften some of your more unconventional ideas and views. When it comes to love and sex, you have bigger things on your mind…

PISCES
If confusion is reigning supreme, it’s best not to push your ideas. Wait and spend time on your own, thinking and gathering information. Your home and family are your support, and your boyfriend is willing to satisfy your fantasies.

ARIES
A very busy day is forecast, and whatever happens you’ll find it hard to have a minute to yourself. Luckily, you should receive some tangible rewards for your efforts as everyone appreciates the things you do. Your love life is quite exotic, but maybe a bit too unconventional for you.

TAURUS
What is your attitude towards those in control, be it your boss, your parents or other authority figures? If you blab or gossip about them, you’ll probably regret it. It’s best to keep quiet and get on with what has to be done, as well as working out how to achieve your ambitions. Don’t expect too much from sex.

GEMINI
It’s time to push yourself to the limit - don’t be afraid to pursue advanced training, even if it means travelling abroad as the long-term rewards will be well worth it. Even if others think you are going OTT, you know you will benefit in the future. Let him do the seducing.

CANCER
Shared finances, accounts and business partnerships are all under scrutiny now, and need to be sorted as amicably as possible without you losing out. Take expert advice if necessary to ensure you don’t lose focus. Your love life looks chaotic and quite exhausting.

LEO
What could be more natural than indulging in straightforward sex? You aren’t the girliest of the signs, though you are extremely feminine and expect your man to be the seducer. Is it
time to be a bit more inventive - not just in love but in all areas of your life.

VIRGO
You are capable of achieving a lot at work today, and your friendliness and hard work ensure a really bright future with your personal ambitions being realised. Go after what you want without reserve - it’s time to make the changes. Love? Surprises are in store.

LIBRA
With the emphasis on romance and pleasure, this isn’t the time to make positive decisions. Just be your usual wavering self, spending time taking in all the pros and cons. Your inspiration enlivens even the most boring task today. A fling rules over commitment today.

SCORPIO
Everything seems hard work today, from family matters, to your job and your love life. Try not to let emotions creep in, but keep as cool as possible. Avoid extravagance today, no matter how hard, otherwise you could really deplete your coffers. Love is highly sexual.

SAGITTARIUS
You seem to be on a mission today, and you need to put your ideas across to as many people as possible. Set up meetings, and get on the phone and internet - today is all about communication. A new partnership could be extremely fortunate, but get the legal matters right. Lust needs to be satisfied.

CAPRICORN
Money, money, money - finances should be your priority. Are you making enough progress, though? What else needs to be done? Take on more responsibilities and widen your portfolio. If you need further training, get it now. Discuss with your boyfriend, but not in bed if you want his full attention.

]]> Fri, 08 Feb 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/07-february-2013 AQUARIUS
If you need that new computer or iPad, investigate all costs and then find ways of buying it. Time is money to you - if it will save you time, then get it, but if it is just for fun, think again! Love is a sexy battle, and laughter wins.

PISCES
More than ravenous today, your boyfriend might have a hard job keeping up. Don’t be impatient - think of his needs as well as your own. At work you can easily find the answers to problems, but listen to your colleagues, too, as a joint effort could well be more satisfactory.

ARIES
You have the opportunity to take your career up a notch by promoting yourself and your ideas - you don’t have to tell everyone your secrets, though. You should also put in some extra hard work from behind the scenes if necessary. Drama rules your love life, which is extreme and unexpected.

TAURUS
Try not to overreact - diplomacy should be number one rather than losing patience if not everything goes according to plan. You’ll have more success when you work with people rather than on your own. Love-wise, you want the best of everything, and for things to be smooth rather than rough.

GEMINI
It’s time to promote yourself - what are your long-term goals? If you need further training, now is the time. Don’t limit yourself - see the bigger, picture and go for it. You want it all (love, career, financial security) and can have it, too, as long as you stay true to your principles.

CANCER
Use every tool available to widen your horizons and open your mind to new possibilities - everything is possible now. Love, usually so cloying, works better when you feel a bit detached. Sex has to satisfy your greedy appetite.

LEO
Ambition rules today, but you know that when you put in the hard work and attention to detail, you earn the rewards. Call in debts today - both financial and sexual. Be resourceful and even wilful if the situation demands it.

VIRGO
Direct your energy today towards your colleagues, business associates and partnerships - you’ll get far more done when you work with others than alone. Love-wise, though, bring romance into the relationship if you want more than just boring sex.

LIBRA
As you aren’t in the mood to suffer fools, don’t put off doing what has to be done. If there are problems, see to them immediately. If it’s not possible, you’ll have to stay calm rather than getting angry. Be diplomatic, but assertive. Is love a tad too restrictive? Let yourself go…

SCORPIO
You have the ideas to sort out problems and issues at home and with your family, but you want to take the easy way out and keep everything light and fun. Love should be romantic, but very physical - is this love or an obsession? Only you know the answer to that…

SAGITTARIUS
You need to make a decision regarding your home space - are renovations necessary? Do you want to re-decorate or move? Get the members of your family involved to turn your home into the place you want to be. Is your boyfriend the real thing, or just a stop-gap? Be honest.

CAPRICORN
Control your impulse to do something out of the ordinary - think first, and discuss your ideas so that you’ll accomplish everything you set out to do. Be generous towards your lover - you prefer old fashioned values to a modern love affair.


]]> Thu, 07 Feb 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/06-february-2013 AQUARIUS
If you want and need more money, then go out and earn it rather than complaining and whining. Be decisive - you have the practical skills and a vivid imagination, so do what’s necessary. When you succeed, your whole future looks happier.

PISCES
When you believe, then it will happen. Use your imagination to take you where you want to go; there are no limits! Be practical and assertive, but not aggressive - and be ready for action. You can do and be anything you choose. Is it time to resolve problems in your love life? This is necessary if you want it all.

ARIES
You want everything now, today! Well, sorry, but this seems to be a time for thinking, planning and developing your inner strengths so that you are totally ready to go when the time is right. In the meantime, enjoy the build-up.

TAURUS
At last your career and finances seem to be working for you though it’s not the time to discuss your ideas with everyone. Keep quiet until necessary. Meantime enjoy being part of the group, social scene. Sophisticated sex or simple lovemaking? Just go with the flow.

GEMINI
You want to be decisive, but the boundaries seem blurred - you’ll just have to believe rather than insisting on proof. By tomorrow you’ll know where you stand as the Moon moves into Capricorn. Meanwhile, enjoy experimental lovemaking.

CANCER
With your energy flying in so many different directions, it’s impossible to know which way you’ll want to turn next. Keep positive - let your imagination fly, and don’t limit yourself in any way. Your long-distance plans will work out well. In love, indulge your wildness.

LEO
Be resourceful, and use every available tool you can to research and investigate from the net to asking advice. Only when you have the full picture should you make long-term decisions. Don’t be pushed. You need glamour, friendship as well as explosive sex. Are you prepared to accept less? No? Good!

VIRGO
As no-one is prepared to leave you alone, you might as well use their energy to inspire and stimulate you into action. You will probably be OTT emotionally, so get out the box of tissues in readiness for tears. At home, nurture your boyfriend - it will calm your nerves and improve your love life.

LIBRA
Unusually aggressive today, try to hide it under your soft coating of charm. Let your imagination show you how; then, get on with your work in an enthusiastic and organised manner. You could easily get a headache or a fever if you overwork, so stay calm. Love is naughty.

SCORPIO
This isn’t the day for boring, routine tasks - it’s time to let your imagination rip and your creative juices flow. You’ll start to see the financial rewards coming in. Everything you do is inspired - especially your love life where you want to keep your man to yourself.

SAGITTARIUS
Use your imagination to start a new business venture, or turn a hobby into money-making project. Discuss all these with your partner and family - this could be the start of a great, new venture. Be practical, though - think of the negatives as well as positives. Love is legendary.

CAPRICORN
You have too many ideas of your own, as well as those of everyone else to consider. Luckily you have the energy and enthusiasm to think about them all. Exchange ideas - especially the ones that will really make money - with colleagues. Lovemaking is far sexier than anyone else realises.

]]> Wed, 06 Feb 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/05-february-2013 AQUARIUS
Your imagination brings great money-making ideas, but not many will be practical, so be careful! Get expert advice before throwing away good money or getting into arguments when things don’t go your way. There’s a bright future for your love life.

PISCES
It’s not selfish to think about yourself for a change. Now is a great time to update your CV, and work out how to impress others with your intelligence, wit, personality and appearance so that can easily achieve your career goals. In love, follow your intuition.

ARIES
Whatever you do, don’t talk about your own life or gossip about others. Don’t even share your ideas or plans, no matter how brilliant they are. Try to learn from past mistakes, and let your strong intuition guide you. It’s a good day for everything - especially your love life.

TAURUS
Everyone has something to say about you today and over the next few weeks - some good, some not so much… Keep a cool head, a sense of humour and don’t overreact. If you are offered a new job, think very carefully and don’t rush in. Your self-confidence is rising - not just in your love life, but in all areas.

GEMINI
You love being in the spotlight, so jump on your box and let everyone know what you think. They won’t all agree, but who cares? Not you! You could hear some good news about your career, too. You expect your boyfriend’s life to be a perfect fit with yours - is it?

CANCER
You need to broaden your outlook if you are to overcome any obstacles holding you back and not overreact at the slightest comment. Your travel plans might have to be postponed or delayed - just get on with what has to be done. Sex is great, but there might not be much emotional understanding.

LEO
Discussing joint ventures, partnerships and shared finances is vital, so be very clear about your views. You might find it better to get your ideas on to paper and discuss tomorrow rather than overreacting today. You need excitement and glamour in your love life - is he delivering?

VIRGO
As Mercury moves into Pisces it’s a good time to enter into legal negotiations, contracts and joint ventures - just be very clear, and don’t get carried away by your imagination. Love-wise, try to avoid arguments and difficult situations as you could easily overreact. Compromise!

LIBRA
Don’t ignore the planning and organisation, no matter how easy it is to convince everyone to go along with your dreams and ideas. A lack of attention to detail now could cause everything to fail later. Health-wise, discuss any problems with your doctor rather than worrying at home.

SCORPIO
Creative writing is one thing - exaggerating your perception of a situation, quite another. Keep to the facts in discussions and leave your imagination to roam free when painting or writing. Bring romance into the relationship, and avoid arguments.

SAGITTARIUS
Discuss rather than telling your boyfriend and family what to do otherwise you could find yourself in a very difficult situation with no-one willing to go along with your ideas. You might think you can ease relations with your man through your lovemaking, but this won’t always work.

CAPRICORN
You should find it easy to discuss things today, but Mercury moving into Pisces makes it hard to get your ideas and thoughts in order. Be aware that misunderstandings could easily happen, so clear your mind before you speak or else keep quiet! Glamour rules your love life.

]]> Tue, 05 Feb 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/04-february-2013 AQUARIUS
You have unwavering principles, but even so, you could gain valuable information and ideas if you discuss your latest project with colleagues. Don’t overreact if their views differ from yours - just listen and learn. Love has no limits.

PISCES
Follow your intuition and act in an energetic way based on the power of your beliefs, but try not to get angry with anyone who disagrees with you. Tolerance should be your watchword today as the more nurturing you are, the more you’ll receive in return. In love you enjoy an unspoken connection.

ARIES
Fire rules today, and you could have a sleepless night if you become too frustrated or angry. Keep your cool, socialise and laugh with friends who keep you upbeat. Be sensitive to everything going on around you. Love is not a competition – or, is it?

TAURUS
It’s up to you to promote yourself by letting everyone know what you do, how good you are and what you want in return. It will be hard to keep out of the public eye, so make sure you look good, and behave as you want others to see you. Your libido matches his tonight.

GEMINI
Your career is taking off, so a good relationship with colleagues and associates is vital. Someone from a different country or background could influence your decisions, and it could mean working abroad. There is the chance of a love affair with a foreigner, too. Anything and everything is possible…

CANCER
If you’ve been dreaming of a trip overseas, now is the time to get organised and put your plans into action. Be as organised as possible - this is a good time to get your body fit and toned before you leave as well as for sorting out the tickets and itinerary. Annoying
differences with your boyfriend are exhausting.

LEO
Love and romance are the key to your happiness today, and you and your boyfriend are both in physical mode so waiting for the right opportunity is frustrating! Getting angry will send out the wrong signals, so best you cool it.

VIRGO
You need to be really clear about what you want so that you can focus your energy and enthusiasm in the right direction. You might like a few hours of peace to sort things out, both at work and at home, but others will intrude no matter what signals you put out. All relationships seem stressful today.

LIBRA
Your imagination works overtime today, and you just can’t sit still. You rush around exchanging ideas and organising meetings at work - exhausting! You’ll accomplish more by chilling out. Let him satisfy your needs today.

SCORPIO
Make spending money on your home a pleasure. Discuss renovation and décor ideas with your boyfriend and family, or whether the money would be better spent on repairs. The more you agree, the easier it’ll be to get them round to your imaginative ideas. Mutual eroticism rules.

SAGITTARIUS
An argument with your family could leave you feeling a bit stressed. Share ideas and then act on them. Watch out for possible accidents in the home, and be alert when working with knives or the stove. Love-wise, you can have whatever you want today.

CAPRICORN
Confusion rules as everyone seems to disagree or wants to influence your decisions, especially over financial concerns. Rather than getting angry and overreacting, listen and learn, but make up your own mind. If you can avoid a power struggle in the bedroom, lovemaking will be almost tantric.
]]> Mon, 04 Feb 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/03-february-2013 AQUARIUS
Devote more of your time and energy towards getting your finances on track so that you can avoid victim behaviour and whining that you are broke! You’ll feel empowered when you are in charge – just believe. Socialising with associates and colleagues will work. Love is almost maternal.

PISCES
Mars moving into your own sign encourages your spiritual nature and you want to feel this connection with your boyfriend. Romance and lovemaking are far more important than the latest sexual position. If you don’t feel inspired, just leave it alone.

ARIES
Someone or something from your past could catch up with you again. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but you probably don’t want anyone to know. Think up creative ways of dealing with the situation so that no-one gets hurt, especially you. Some lusty, addictive sex will help.

TAURUS
You’ll get far more co-operation from friends and colleagues when you listen to their needs as well as your own. You need their help if you are to achieve everything you set out to do. In the mood for some really erotic sex? Fun, but it might not take the relationship further.

GEMINI
Don’t get overwhelmed by everyone wanting your attention. You need their help, but enough is enough! If you do too much over the next month you could suffer burnout. Promoting yourself is one thing; giving everyone away secrets is quite another. Lovemaking is hotter than ever.

CANCER
Play some sport, plan your next trip abroad or use up your excess energy in vigorous lovemaking. You’ll need some way of dealing with the intensity before it burns you up. Love-wise, you won’t be satisfied with a casual romance – you want commitment.

LEO
You seem almost too hot to handle today – use up the energy by concentrating on the small details as well as the bigger picture. Sort out any financial problems, read the small print on contracts and work out ways to call in money owed. Don’t let arguments upset your love relationship.

VIRGO
Relish the inspiration you get from your friends and everyone around you, and listen to every suggestion and idea. Work with your friends to set up a joint business partnership, or just do things together for the day. Take a few risks! In love, you’ll have to show him what you want.

LIBRA
More competitive than usual, you should confront any problems directly, but in the nicest, most sensitive way possible. Luckily, you have the charm so it shouldn’t be difficult. Working with others or playing team sports brings more luck than being alone. In sex, you are quite the exhibitionist.

SCORPIO
Today is all about pleasure and doing what is enjoyable for you. You are full of romantic ideas and, like an inspired artist, you are ready to take risks with your powerful emotions. There is still a little voice warning you to be careful - ignore it at your peril…

SAGITTARIUS
Mars is encouraging family relationships, and your home life is extremely important today. Whether inviting friends home or getting the family interested in re-decorating, your enthusiasm is infectious. A new home business would take off now. In love, what new acts are you planning?

CAPRICORN
Can anything keep you still at the moment? You seem to dash from one friend to another, talking on the phone, chatting, laughing and developing your ideas. Do take care on the road - overtaking that car at speed might be the last thing you do. Simple, straightforward sex satisfies today.

]]> Sun, 03 Feb 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/02-february-2013 AQUARIUS
You have charm and a willingness to cooperate and a zany sense of humour. Love-wise, you often need to focus on more than one person which could upset your partner, even if it’s innocent and just friendship. Try not to be more dramatic than necessary.

PISCES
Are you trying to keep your latest love affair a secret? You don’t have much hope, unless you use every excuse not to go out. Your dreams and fantasies could be far more exciting than reality, but if he’s really the one, he could make some of them come true…

ARIES
You expect your friends to rally round and do everything to make you happy, inviting you to social events and letting you know all that’s happening. Even your boyfriend has to make sure that your romance is social - you aren’t in the mood for cosy twosomes.

TAURUS
You certainly are in the spotlight, and everyone is noticing you, your beauty (you are the best looking in the zodiac), your creative talents as well as your charm. Most of all though, it’s the interest you take in everyone and your willingness to co-operate that will affect your future.

GEMINI
This is the perfect time for a honeymoon, a holiday abroad or bringing some romance into your life, and advertising and marketing campaigns will be successful. This weekend, though, it is time to relax with music, art and making new friends from different social backgrounds.

CANCER
If arguments over joint accounts or a business partnership are getting too intense and heavy, now is the time to get an impartial mediator. If you are moving into an alliance (marriage or business), do sort out the finances first. Love is hot, passionate and very sexual.

LEO
You are in the mood to focus on and listen to your partner, friendships and colleagues. This will ensure that peace and harmony reign at work, and you’ll not only get far more done, but everyone will give you their support. Don’t let him take advantage of your unusually co-operative mood - unless, of course, you want to!

VIRGO
There is every chance that you could find a new romantic partner through work, but in the meantime make sure it is somewhere you are happy to spend your time. Is the décor warm and welcoming? You seem so sweet - does he realise just how complex you actually are?

LIBRA
Is it time to give yourself a break and have more fun? Go on - take a holiday, have a risky adventure and add some spice to your romantic life. Your imagination is running overtime so you’ll know exactly what to do. Will you surrender first, or will you make him?

SCORPIO
Your pleasure will come from entertaining at home, renovating, decorating and spending more time with your family. You might decide to work from home, turning a hobby into a money-making venture. Get the basics right before you waste money! Love? Maybe not. Obsession? Possibly…

SAGITTARIUS
Your assertiveness usually gets you everything you need, but there is added charm and humour this month so there is no stopping you. You’re exhausting to be around, though, as you rush from friend to friend and meeting to meeting, in contact with everyone. At least your eroticism keeps you almost quiet for a minute.

CAPRICORN
You can easily mediate between friends in a financial dispute as well as organising your own monetary affairs. This doesn’t mean you can waste money, just that items you do buy should increase in value - so think works of art rather than cheap shoes! Let an argument spice up your love life.

]]> Sat, 02 Feb 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/01-february-2013 AQUARIUS
Who cares if there are delays or problems? The Sun is shining and you are in the mood to socialise and make new contacts who can help you up the corporate ladder. Not only that, but your love life looks crazy, zany and loads of fun.

PISCES
It’s all about your personal power which is helping your career, finances and your love life. Just be careful not to overreact; use your passion in a positive rather than negative way, even if you are feeling a bit uncertain. Intensity rules your love life.

ARIES
Your love life is great as long as your boyfriend doesn’t mind you wanting to have everything your way - think of his needs, too. Your friends are a great source of support, and you enjoy socialising. Business associates and partners give you a career boost, too.

TAURUS
Your career aspirations are your main concern, but you’ll probably have to wait a few days for good career news. Finances look better than they’ve been, but there could still be a bit of an argument with your boyfriend so don’t over-spend. Take the lead in love.

GEMINI
A really great day full of romance, laughter and meeting new people who have exciting new ideas. You are ready to take a few risks, come out of your comfort zone and meet up with people from different backgrounds. Love is passionate, hot and extremely liberating.

CANCER
Business partnerships as well as any finances to do with your work go well, and you can see your career taking off in the right direction. Any contacts you make now will be of great benefit in the future. Your boyfriend and family give great support to your ideas, and love becomes more erotic as anything goes.

LEO
Love and romance rule today. There is not much talk about commitment, but you use flattery and flirtation to get what you want. The same goes for your career where you can talk anyone into doing anything today. This could be very good for your finances.

VIRGO
Finances look good today, especially for purchasing things of quality. You’ll be concentrating mainly on your work, getting everything up-to-date and dealing with routine matters which, in turn, makes your career more successful. Don’t insist on perfection from your boyfriend – there is no such thing!

LIBRA
Being one of the best days all month, you’ll see your love life as well as your career take off. Love-wise, the more romance you can bring in to the relationship as well as erotic sex, the more you’ll feel satisfied. Use your creative talents at work for even more success.

SCORPIO
As you can’t please everyone today, and they’ll probably be very demanding, take time out alone to meditate and get on with whatever has to be done. Your career is moving ahead despite setbacks and feeling a little out-of- control. Love? Friends will help keep you upbeat if things get out of control.

SAGITTARIUS
Your career is taking off, so be in contact with business associates who can help take you further up the ladder. Meetings will successful if you exchange ideas – be creative and innovative. Your love life is thriving today, too – who says you can’t succeed both in business and relationships?

CAPRICORN
A highly successful day, especially for your career. You could be offered promotion or head-hunted for a far more lucrative job. Everything seems to be working in your favour, and your self-assurance spills over from your love life into everything else you do. Enjoy!

]]> Fri, 01 Feb 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/31-january-2013 AQUARIUS
Your mind is always independent and flooded with new ideas – the problem is having too many and achieving nothing. There could be a forced change in your plans which means having to take an unexpected trip. Love is enthusiastic, at the very least.

PISCES
You need to be financially independent, so be careful when friends or groups offer a joint venture or partnership as you may have totally different priorities and values. Your sensitivity today might overwhelm your boyfriend, though he won’t be able to resist your sensuality.

ARIES
Personal freedom is vital to you, but someone just might have the answers you’ve been looking for so don’t ignore what others have to say. It’s worth taking the risk. Being aggressive can be quite a turn-on as long as you are still generous with love.

TAURUS
A situation you have hidden from everyone needs to be sorted. You have many ideas, so find the one that best suits the occasion and go with it otherwise you’ll lose all the control you want over your life. Be optimistic and everything will work out. Your boyfriend just loves your femininity – and heat!

GEMINI
If a close friend or co-worker is away, you could feel lonely and unable to cope. Go on, you have all the resources and the self-confidence you need so gather your strengths, use your imagination and get moving! Your love and social life are hectic, leaving not much time for emotional feeling.

CANCER
A total change of direction calls which could affect your career, your home, lifestyle and love relationship. This could be quite scary. You need more independence but aren’t sure about going it alone. Talk to your family as they could give you the support you need. Sex is stimulating, but is there real feeling?

LEO
If you are looking for alternative ways of running your life, now is the time to investigate – this might include travel or furthering your training. You have the ideas, but trying to decide which direction to go is the problem. Flattering your boyfriend gets you everything today.

VIRGO
The emphasis is on being as self-reliant and resourceful as you can and to remember just how capable, intelligent and enterprising you are. Things are happening, so stop fretting otherwise your health will suffer. You want to be loved as a woman, not a trophy.

LIBRA
If you’ve met someone exciting from out of your usual comfort zone, will you be able to accept the differences long-term, or will you want to get back to your old familiar ways? Your imagination is charging ahead, and you want to go with the flow- it’s exciting, fun and erotic. Stop worrying about tomorrow.

SCORPIO
Your health regime, like your work, is undergoing change and revision as you are introduced to some quite unorthodox treatments. Don’t go along with everything – check them out, and speak to your health care provider. You only have one body. Your mood swings can stand in the way of real love.

SAGITTARIUS
Talk about drama! Love is coming from the most unexpected directions and places. You don’t seem to have any control, but that is how you like it. Life is just one huge adventure with new friends, new ideas and love everywhere.

CAPRICORN
Even if you are still living with your family or boyfriend you could find that your emotions are changing – what you once found comforting now feels too clingy. Give yourself space. Even at work you want more control, and to make the money you need. Love is up and down.

]]> Thu, 31 Jan 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/30-january-2013 AQUARIUS
Jupiter moving forward in Gemini could bring a new, intelligent and fascinating man into your life, adding adventure and fun to the mix. You want the good life now, and prosperity is easier to reach. It’s up to you to take advantage of the opportunities offered. Love fantasies could be realised too.

PISCES
There is luck in your home life now and any old family grievances can easily be sorted. If you want to move home, buy, rent or sell property, chances are you’ll get a good price. There could still be a difficult decision to make, so wait a few days. If love expectations are too high, you’ll crash.

ARIES
Your status amongst your neighbours and local community is rising. Take time to participate as you could make some really important changes what will uplift everyone. Exchange ideas and take the lead in discussions. Sex is a creative, but could be lacking in emotion.

TAURUS
Jupiter is no longer retrograde so your finances should finally start to really pick up instead of just being enough to pay your basic needs. You will now learn how to conserve and invest so that your finances increase rather than diminish. Your love life is powerful and very erotic.

GEMINI
There is no stopping you now that Jupiter is moving forward once more, and you have the energy and enthusiasm to reach any goal as all restrictions vanish. The worst scenario is that your appetite for over-indulgence increases along with your figure… You are self-sufficient in love.

CANCER
Now that Jupiter is no longer retrograde you suddenly find that you have far more inner strength and power, and feel that you can achieve anything and everything now. Truth and justice become your by-words, and you know that you’ll overcome everything no matter how difficult the circumstances – especially in love.

LEO
Friends and business associates are a means to accomplish everything you want – as long as you don’t take them for granted, but relish every minute you spend with them. The only problem comes if you social climb or only cultivate people for their wealth or influence. You need staying power in your love life.

VIRGO
Whatever your personal ambitions, you can now expand them with the optimism that Jupiter moving forward brings. Visualise your long-term goals, and see yourself achieving them. Energy follows thought, and you can be and do anything now. Sensual lovemaking brings huge inner peace.

LIBRA
Your options are wide open now that Jupiter is moving forward - the only problem is what to choose. Travel, learn new skills, change your career to a more creative one and turn one of your hobbies into a money-making venture. In love, don’t talk, act.

SCORPIO
As long as you aren’t extravagant, Jupiter moving forward brings luck to your finances with increased assets, savings and excellent prospects for partnerships and joint ventures. Saturn warns you to control your impulsive emotions. Family life is more harmonious, as is your love life.

SAGITTARIUS
All your relationships, whether love, friendship or business, will be a source of stimulation and new experiences as long as you don’t take them for granted or expect too much without giving anything back. Don’t rush into new friendships – just take them slowly… Love is getting better.

CAPRICORN
Being part of many organisations is fine, but you find they don’t offer the real affection and commitment you need. It’s time to do something about it. The scope of your work is expanding now that Jupiter is moving forward. It’s more interesting, and you make more money, too.
]]> Wed, 30 Jan 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/29-january-2013 AQUARIUS
Try not to be overly analytical today as it stops you going with the flow, and you’ll find it harder to overcome any delays or problems that arise at work. The same goes for your love life - if you are too picky and critical today, you won’t find the intimacy you want. And lovemaking will be disastrous.

PISCES
If creating a home with your partner is high on your list of priorities, this could happen soon as property dealings go well and family squabbles ease up. You could experience a travel delay or a postponement. Just make sure you are ready for any eventuality.

ARIES
You seem unusually nurturing towards everyone today, especially your friends. You could even bring a business associate onto your side as long as you don’t overdo it. Try not to bring personal problems into the workplace as they could complicate your work. A short journey goes well.

TAURUS
When you truly love someone, your whole life is re-energized - but if you are too emotional about it, you could become overtired. Look at your financial priorities - are you improving the situation or depleting your resources through extravagance?

GEMINI
You want more family ties, but if you are selfish or only interested in your own advancement you will lose out on the help that could be yours. Having a spiritual bond rather than just a physical one will help you be a truly independent woman. Love must be fun or you’ll lose interest.

CANCER
You see things clearly today and come up with answers that are more analytical than emotional. This makes everyone realise just how clever and talented you actually are. Try to avoid daydreaming in boring meetings and discussions, and don’t let your mood swings hinder your inner passion.

LEO
Your finances could be undergoing some changes. Focus on your goals and everything will be alright. Just remember that you are more than your money and possessions, so let your real friends boost your self-worth. In love, only a real man satisfies tonight.

VIRGO
More than usually emotionally sensitive, you need to keep a check on yourself so that you don’t deplete your energy or become upset when you feel your love isn’t reciprocated. How many of these worries are only in your head? At last you can see your career dreams materialising. Is it time to move the goal posts?

LIBRA
It’s hard today to see which are your dreams and which are those of the people around you. Your imagination is buzzing, your fantasies becoming more and more real to you, and Lady Luck is with you. Hot sex isn’t a priority – what you want is tender togetherness.

SCORPIO
Your girlfriends are more important than ever at the moment, which doesn’t mean you aren’t up for some transforming lovemaking with your boyfriend. Any shared or joint finances are picking up nicely now, so that’s one worry less.

SAGITTARIUS
Using your intuitive qualities as well as your sharp mind to see where your career is going will help you reach your goals. Your friends and business alliances are all rooting for you and giving help whenever you need it. Love is not as hot as you’d like, but at least it’s supportive.

CAPRICORN
Your daily routine is helping you make the money you need. Whether this is through your own hard work or because you feel that you are being protected and encouraged by a higher power doesn’t matter – the results are fantastic. Raunchy, hot love will satisfy tonight.

]]> Tue, 29 Jan 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/28-january-2013 AQUARIUS
Trying to finish a project or approaching a deadline? Instead of blowing your top, try to stay cool, co-operative and in charge of your your own emotions and you’ll find it far easier to reach your goals. The same goes for your love life where togetherness is vital.

PISCES
Rather than second-guessing what is needed, be patient and listen attentively so you don’t have to keep repeating the same question. This tendency of yours makes people a little annoyed with you. Friendship is more important than anything else – if you have this as well as love, you’re onto a winner.

ARIES
Instead of wanting everything, try getting rid of the things you no longer need. This will make you feel lighter and a little more free. The same goes for work and with friends - give support while letting them use your power, and everyone will win. Try fun over sensuality.

TAURUS
When you share, co-operate and give support without expecting anything in return you’ll find that your relationships grow stronger. Be aware of what others want as you could be a really fantastic peacemaker and counsellor. Love grows when you make your boyfriend feel special.

GEMINI
Being over-sensitive makes you doubt yourself. Create some routine in your life and be ready to help everyone in a compassionate way, and you’ll start to see the bigger picture. This also makes you feel confident and you’ll achieve even more. In love, try the middle road between being submissive and being aloof.

CANCER
Rather than avoiding talking because you don’t want confrontation, be confident and let them feel special, too. Don’t expect your boyfriend to make you happy and fulfilled – try different ways of keeping your love life exciting. Earning the money you need will be easier if you think in a creative, lateral way.

LEO
The way you give love and support to your boyfriend is the way to strengthen your relationship. The same goes at work - don’t fight today, but accept that other people also have fluctuating moods. Try sharing your feelings, but without feeling sorry for yourself.

VIRGO
Do you always have to be right? Listen to what others have to say and to how they think as being open to new ideas will make communication much easier. Your co-workers will give you the help you need to sort out your daily routine. Let love-making be fun and imaginative.

LIBRA
Be patient, take one step at a time and let your imagination bring love and romance into your friendships. As you are often quite fickle, today loyalty is the key as well as sharing the same values and priorities. Rather than chasing love, you have to feel complete within yourself first. Only then will your soulmate appear.

SCORPIO
Take your courage and be independent. Also, give yourself time for some self-nurturing so that you become balanced and strong. Stick to your daily routine, exercise, eat healthy food and try to be on time. When you feel out of control, your whole world goes haywire. Are you his love-feast?

SAGITTARIUS
You need to be non-judgmental and compassionate to get you through today - and to stop criticising! If necessary, just keep your mouth closed and count to twenty… You need your space today so, if you can, work at home. Love is extravagant, to say the least.

CAPRICORN
You need to look at the big picture today so that you see which way to go to make the money you need. Listen and appreciate what others have to say, then go with your intuition. Your passionate love life is your own affair - you don’t have to tell all your friends.

]]> Mon, 28 Jan 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/27-january-2013 AQUARIUS
The focus of the Full Moon today is on all your relationships, including business agreements. Despite delays and frustration, you’ll be able to overcome any setbacks by using your creative imagination. Just be yourself and work hard rather than relying on luck. In love passion rules, but not commitment.

PISCES
The Full Moon, with the help of Jupiter, is urging you to focus on your work and productivity as well as on your health. It’s the perfect time to start a new diet, join a gym and give up smoking – whatever it takes to sort out your life for the better. Unrestrained sex with loads of added romance rules your love life.

ARIES
All your creative projects should be finishing now, and you are ready to start on all the new ideas that are tumbling about in your head. Love-wise, this is a good time to get pregnant - but could also mean an unwanted pregnancy so take care. Singles, love at first sight is possible.

TAURUS
If you are concentrating on your home instead of your career, or spending too much time at work and neglecting your home and family, now is the time to bring balance into your life. Jupiter brings more confidence and the ability to make more money. In love, give space to your deepest feelings.

GEMINI
Itchy feet? The Full Moon is putting the emphasis on your communication skills - not just using your computer but teaching, meetings and discussions. Jupiter is encouraging you to travel and release yourself from anything that’s holding you back. In love, laughter wins.

CANCER
The emphasis is on your money and handling your own finances without relying on a partner or anyone else. Create a budget and stick to it. It’s time to pay off credit cards and other debts using your newfound inner strength and power. Love is warmer and more fun than usual.

LEO
The New Moon is all about a new start in whatever area of your life you want to work on. Friends, business associations and groups will all give you the support you need as you become more enthusiastic and energetic. In love, a lusty battle excites and satisfies.

VIRGO
The Full Moon urges you to give more thought and help to those less fortunate, but it’s also the time to give up bad habits like smoking, taking drugs or drinking too much. You are more understanding and helpful towards friends in rehab or undergoing health problems. Remember, jealousy destroys relationships.

LIBRA
You could see one of your goals being realised now, and with it comes financial rewards - but it also means taking on greater responsibility. There are more opportunities for success, and it’s up to you to go with them. Playing hard-to-get is fun, but he might just go with someone who is easier to handle.

SCORPIO
The Full Moon is energizing your career and standing in the community, and you could easily start a new job, be offered promotion or enter into a business partnership or joint venture. This is the time to ask for a bank loan, but get your facts and figures sorted first. Sex is too much, even for you.

SAGITTARIUS
There is no limit to what you can achieve now, and it’s time to widen your horizons, take on further training and travel abroad. Get in touch with friends, business associates and make new contacts and talk about your new ideas with optimism and self-confidence. You are powerful – is he strong enough?

CAPRICORN
Don’t neglect your financial responsibility in a business partnership or other joint venture - you can’t blame anyone but yourself. The scope of your work is increasing, too, but it could mean putting in extra hours. Take your love relationship to a more intimate level, but keep it private for the moment.
]]> Sun, 27 Jan 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/26-january-2013 AQUARIUS
You want love, romance and fun, but something or someone from your past is bringing up an emotional issue you’d rather forget. Don’t be hard on yourself – you might find talking it through with someone you trust will help. When you do make love, be big, bold and beautiful!

PISCES
Inquisitive, you’ll probably ask too many question about a family secret so that what you thought was fun banter could turn serious, leaving you stressed and highly emotional. You have other, better things to think about – such as making money from a new business venture. Love is lively.

ARIES
You love being around people today, but gossiping will get you into a lot of trouble and you’ll lose status as well as friends. Use your active imagination and creative spirit in ways that will make your life easier and more fun. Love is fantastic - if you can stay faithful long enough…

TAURUS
As you discover your true purpose in life and the career that really suits you, you suddenly feel compelled to face your fears, perhaps thinking you aren’t qualified enough or that it won’t bring you the money you need. Relax – let your boyfriend re-energise you.

GEMINI
You are ready to widen your horizons and to learn everything you can – but something suddenly challenges you past and you realise you have to face the situation before you can expand your personal influence. Sharing domestic bliss? Not in this lifetime…

CANCER
The challenge for you at the moment is to forget self-pity and your money worries and see how you can expand your horizons so that you are truly self-sufficient, making the money you need and freeing yourself of negative commitments. You want a strong man, but he doesn’t have to boss you around – unless that’s your thing, of course…

LEO
No matter what the Universe tries to throw at you, your ambition and forcefulness will get you through. If you exaggerate your financial position, someone could try to take advantage so it’s best to keep your distance. You’ll enjoy some rough lovemaking tonight.

VIRGO
You could be worried that a promise someone has made might not be real – and brings back memories of being let down before. Trust is one thing; being taken in by a false promise is quite another. Don’t do anything that could harm your reputation, and show your man what you’re really made of.

LIBRA
You know exactly what you want and how to get it, and are happy to socialize with people of influence. Shameless name dropping could see you falling off the social ladder rather than enjoying the success so be careful. Love is imaginative but not highly emotional.

SCORPIO
A financial issue brings back ghosts from your past. Deal with them, and then move on knowing that your career success will earn you the money you need. A new business venture needs strength of purpose, but be realistic. Insatiable lust rules as long as there is loyalty.

SAGITTARIUS
See the goal, focus and anything will be possible. You are full of ideas, so try not to exaggerate the prospects of success of a business venture or partnership. A broken family relationship comes back to haunt you. If you can mend bridges, you’ll feel free to move on. Love is more than powerful – it smothers.

CAPRICORN
Bad health or being physically unfit could bring back some unhappy memories from your past. Take control – it will be worth it. Your finances, especially to do with shared assets, need attention so put in the hard work necessary. Everyone thinks you are too good to be true – but how then do you keep your man?

The Sun, Jupiter and Uranus are all working together, and with so many exciting things happening this is not the time to sit back but to welcome every opportunity - the more innovative and challenging, the better. Don’t get angry, though, if there are delays… Love is emotionally exhausting.

PISCES
There are new experiences coming your way soon, so get ready to embrace them all - a new career, advanced training and new projects should all be started now so that you reap the financial benefits as soon as possible. A boyfriend’s sensitivity to your emotional swings helps your relationship.

ARIES
The more you develop your skills and knowledge now, the better equipped you’ll be to take advantage of all the new opportunities that are opening up – with you in the lead, and putting forward some really innovative ideas. Your current love helps you overcome any past hurts.

TAURUS
Don’t spend money on frivolous pleasures – now is the time to further your education so that you are ready for the new career opportunities that are opening up to you. You’ve been waiting and worrying – now, get ready for the business and financial boost. Love is primal and erotic.

GEMINI
Too much self-indulgence will harm your self-image. Instead, get ready to be released from anything that has held you back and be ready to achieve all your personal career goals, no matter how eccentric, different or way out they seem to others. Your charisma won’t help if you’re too moody.

CANCER
Use this time to develop your inner strength and power so that you are fit enough to embrace the change of lifestyle and career opportunities that are coming your way. A present partnership could undergo some changes that will be highly beneficial to you. You need your man to boost your self-esteem.

LEO
The more you work as part of a group or organisation, the more you’ll achieve personal success. Don’t refuse any opportunity to broaden your horizons, to travel and to further your studies. Your love life seems emotionally satisfying, though you should still keep that box of tissues handy.

VIRGO
Control any impulses to be too judgmental as your reputation is at stake. Instead, work on your latest innovative ideas as there are opportunities coming to further your career goals and ambitions, maybe through a partnership or a joint venture. Don’t let your swinging emotions mar your love life.

LIBRA
The problem for you is that too many different options are coming your way that you won’t know which to choose. Lucky you! It could be a new love affair, an exciting career offer or to travel abroad. In love, laughter wins tonight.

SCORPIO
Changes are happening which should be very favourable though could mean a very different lifestyle, a change of home or even country, possibly through a partnership or joint venture. Love-wise, you’ll have even greater sexual enjoyment than you thought possible.

SAGITTARIUS
Your personal planet is bringing prosperity, love and everything you want. This is not the time to be out of touch with your friends, business associates – it’s the time to be networking and increasing your interaction with people of influence. Opposites attract? You attract everyone.

CAPRICORN
Your work and daily responsibilities are about to bring you great financial prosperity as someone of influence recognises your hard work and gives you promotion - or a new job offer could even come your way. Negotiate the terms in your favour. His love helps you forgive and to forget past hurts.

]]> Fri, 25 Jan 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/24-january-2014 AQUARIUS
You are more than usually sensitive and emotional, so focus on your usual daily routine to stay calm and comforted. Rather than rushing into financial deals, use your intuition to guide you on when to move forward and when to hold back. Fighting with your boyfriend adds to the sexual excitement, but be careful.

PISCES
Moody, sensitive and highly emotional, you’ll need a whole box of tissues to see you through the day. A financial problem you thought you’d solved might crop again – deal with it sooner rather than later. You might seem demure, but you are OTT in everything you do today. Lovemaking is creative.

ARIES
If you want to achieve all the things you set out to do, let friends and family help you – and give them your support, too, otherwise you’ll just overload yourself and in the end will have achieved nothing. Always innovative, you are even more sexual today – and your boyfriend will love it.

TAURUS
Your actions now will have a huge impact on your future, so be careful what you say and do as everyone is watching you. Use your considerable charm and beauty to promote yourself, and just believe that whatever you want will come true. Soft, tender love will make you the happiest.

GEMINI
With so much going on in your life, it might be hard to prioritise or keep to your usual set of values. Remember it’s your resourcefulness, skills and talents that will give you the independence you seek, so slow down and concentrate. Moodiness will be a turn off for your boyfriend.

CANCER
You’re so emotional, sensitive and suspicious about your partner (both love and business) that you become paranoid and exhausted. Pay attention to the small details and check the finances and you’ll soon see what’s really going on. Comforting chaos in the bedroom will soothe your relationship.

LEO
As you are ready to steam and boil over at the slightest setback or disagreement, you need to find ways of using up your energy in a positive way. Everyone is ready to help if only you can calm down long enough to let them. A sexy struggle rules your love life.

VIRGO
If you let your moodiness today get out of hand, you’ll end up with a really bad headache – and could even have an accident. So slow down, relax and look after yourself first. Let your co-workers help and you’ll get through everything that needs to be done. Loving romance needs real friendship to survive.

LIBRA
Your creative juices flow, your work gets done – but still your finances don’t match… Use your imagination to take your career to new heights. There is still the problem of over-indulgence in all the good things – including sex which can be quite exhausting…

SCORPIO
You want to travel, broaden your horizons but feel unusually shy today so let your family and home give you the protection and support you need especially if planning a new business venture. Do take care to avoid accidents. Sex-wise, you can expect quite a surprise!

SAGITTARIUS
Your penetrating mind means you can see everything very clearly today – and so will achieve everything you set your mind to. However, if you are at all worried that not everything is as it should be, then don’t do it! You want your fantasies fulfilled tonight – just OK sex is out…

CAPRICORN
Let your real true feelings shine through – especially with those less successful, less beautiful, less anything… Your work is successful as you are able to reach your goals and priorities – but take of your wallet and cards. Love? You want romance – be patient?

]]> Thu, 24 Jan 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/23-january-2013 AQUARIUS
You want to co-operate with everyone, but you come across as almost aggressive. Luckily your sense of humour carries you through, but does anyone realise just how determined you really are to have your own way? Fun romance rules over commitment.

PISCES
You’ll accomplish far more when you work alone rather than with others, maybe because you give way instead of standing your ground. Being decisive will help but, if not, do your own thing. You look demure, but who will really satisfy your needs?

ARIES
Try to avoid confrontation within your circle – business, friends or other groups, even if things don’t according to plan. Luckily your reactions are quick so you can easily cope when things go wrong. Try to limit the amount of activities you perform today. When it comes to love, you are in charge.

TAURUS
You are called on to do extra work, but you could feel you aren’t qualified enough, no matter how many degrees and certificates you happen to hold. Stop worrying and promote yourself by taking the lead in every situation. Sex-wise, have you finally met your match?

GEMINI
Everyone supports you need to widen your horizons and learn new skills, but it will take some quick twists and turns to accomplish everything if you overload your already busy schedule. Be positive – it will all turn out well in the end. Boredom rules your sex life unless one of you thinks up new ideas.

CANCER
Rather than telling everyone your ideas try to keep them to yourself until you‘ve worked out the small details of exactly what you are going to do. If you owe money or favours, now is the time to repay them. Don’t be overly sensitive to your partner’s criticism – is he perfect?

LEO
Whether your goal is to do with love or business, partnerships are the way forward through the help of friends and business associates. Whichever you choose your life will be exciting, but you’ll find that your efforts to co-operate with everyone a bit stressful. Give yourself some space.

VIRGO
Career-wise, everything you do works according to plan which is just as well as everyone is watching you. This isn’t so good for your emotional life, though. If you’re having trouble, work out your angst with some healthy exercise.

LIBRA
Your optimism grows along with your love of life. Your creative juices flow and you are ready to turn all your imaginative ideas into practical reality. Your love life has to be invigorating and easy as you aren’t interested in emotional drama.

SCORPIO
If you’ve been thinking about a new business venture, this is a good time to discuss it with a financial partner or to get a bank loan. Just make sure all the facts and figures are clear so there will be no misunderstandings later. Intense lust rules your love life.

SAGITTARIUS
You can talk yourself in or out of any situation. Everyone loves you and will follow your ideas, no matter how innovative or eccentric. Everything is as you like it, including touchy-feely, fun lovemaking without too much emotion.

CAPRICORN
Get yourself organised by sorting out your bank and financial papers, making payments and calling in money owed. Investigate whether you can make more money working overtime or taking on an extra job. Think laterally, and plan now – the benefits are coming. Love is restrained, but creative.
]]> Wed, 23 Jan 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/22-january-2013 AQUARIUS
Not everything will go according to your plans, so be positive and confident and accept the bigger picture. It will all work out in the end so don’t get stressed. In the meantime, use your creative talents to bring more fun into your love life – if that’s possible!

PISCES
You could be worrying about the cost of living – rent, your bond and just keeping up with the daily increases. Do you need to find another way of increasing your earnings? Your family have many ideas, and not all of them work, but it only takes one. Your libido sings in a solid relationship.

ARIES
This is a good time to change your image as you find a different side to your personality, and friends and business associates will look on you with new eyes. This ‘new you’ could make you less restless and more stable as you express the ‘real’ you. At least your libido is still the same.

TAURUS
Career-wise, nothing seems to work according to plan. You seem busier than usual, rushing from one thing to another. The important thing is not to get too stressed or your health will suffer. Your boyfriend should encourage you to relax in whatever way suits you both.

GEMINI
You don’t mean to upset anyone, but one of your gossipy remarks could just annoy someone in authority. Your charm might help, but it might be wise to keep out of sight. Use your intuition to guide you out of the situation. Many honey-pots are more attractive than one today.

CANCER
You seem restless today, ready for a complete change of lifestyle and career as you change your goals and ambitions. You are very intense, though, and could put many backs up with your almost aggressive passion. Keep this for your love life. Your boyfriend will enjoy all the new tricks.

LEO
You seem ready to take off abroad, drop your boyfriend for a totally different new one, and make new friends by joining a sports club. The other scenario could be that you don’t change, but everyone else seems to have new ideas and dreams. Sex is more about lust than love.

VIRGO
So today you aren’t going to get what you want or expect. Be positive, don’t throw a hissy fit, put your head down and see what you can do to make things work for you. Start by being as cooperative as you can be and using all the charm you can muster. Love is moody and fickle today, but sex could be great.

LIBRA
Support comes from quite unexpected places – it might be unorthodox but don’t dismiss the help offered. Just add practical common sense as well as real appreciation and you’ll wonder why you worried. A love relationship is stimulating but maybe not as committed as you’d like.

SCORPIO
Your home and your work are subject to change making you feel unstable and not sure what to do next. Bring out your new ideas, be open to suggestions and let everyone know how you feel – but use as much charm as you can muster. Love-wise, you seem more reserved than usual.

SAGITTARIUS
Talk about a drama queen! You make everyone laugh with your antics – but this seems to hide your concern over unpredictable events happening in your love life, your social life as well as your work… Luckily you have many ideas – at least one will work! Take care if mixing love with business….

CAPRICORN
You are in the mood to do something a bit unexpected and naughty like moving out of your home, throwing up your job for something that will ultimately make you more money – or even inviting someone you hardly know to stay… Love? You feel almost guilty you enjoy it so much…
]]> Tue, 22 Jan 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/21-january-2013 AQUARIUS
Mercury is impacting you at the moment. It’s highly stimulating, but also initiating nervous energy so take time out whenever possible to relax and have some fun. You are very intense, and you take quite a radical stance which not everyone understands. You offer generous love with some crazy ideas.

PISCES
It’s a difficult today as you’d just love to gossip and discuss secrets, but you know you have to keep quiet about your activities and even your thoughts. Be honest about your feelings, and don’t overshare. Love-wise, stand your ground.

ARIES
Your need for fun today is almost childlike in its innocence and charm. Your inspired ideas make group discussions and meetings lively and interesting - just don’t expect everyone to agree at once. Your liberal attitude to lovemaking makes for a bit of a party.

TAURUS
Like easily turns to dislike, and love to hate – take your relationships slow and steady, with caution. Be careful with this attitude at work as it could end in financial loss, and don’t gossip about your colleagues. The glamorous life could damage your love relationships despite the totally enjoyable sex.

GEMINI
Doing everything on the run, you don’t stay still long enough for most things to have meaning. New experiences are far more fun than probing the depths. When you learn to like your own company, you’ll find love relationships will have real friendship as well as fun sex.

CANCER
Joint income and business partnerships could take up more of your time than you want and could be a very emotionally draining, too. You want to finalise details and to get on with the job in hand, but everything takes longer than you’d planned. Don’t confuse fun sex with true love.

LEO
Partnerships, whether business or marriage, should be very beneficial as you can easily negotiate favourable terms. You get on better than ever with your boyfriend, especially when meeting up with friends or groups, and your upbeat manner is infectious. Don’t bother being the ‘domestic Goddess’ – just have fun!

VIRGO
The huge influence of Mercury makes it easy to work out everything in your usual analytical way, but you get quite emotional when not everyone recognises your hard work. Find ways to de-stress – a relaxing massage, soft music, flowers and mind-blowing sex will help.

LIBRA
Highly entertaining, you make everything fun today, and even finalising a business deal will be a breeze. If there is a setback, you deal with it quickly with total optimism. Love has to be easy, too – no emotions interfering with liberating sex.

SCORPIO
You make heavy weather of everything today when dealing with family and property matters, even when everything is working out. You just aren’t quite as confident and decisive as you think. Your carnal needs combine well with innovative fun, and the whole bedroom rocks.

SAGITTARIUS
It’s all going for you today as you can talk everyone into anything with your innovative ideas and your friendly co-operative attitude and willingness to get stuck in to help. Meetings go well, and your ideas and opinions are received enthusiastically. Flirty and highly sexual, tonight is a winner.

CAPRICORN
It’s easy for you to get on with all the paperwork, meetings and discussions over financial matters, both your own and those of your business. Pay bills, collect money owed and be ready to do what’s necessary to earn more, too. You aren’t just there for your boyfriend – you have some great innovative ideas too. Enjoy!

The Sun has now moved into your sign making you and your personal goals the overriding issue over these next few weeks. You are more motivated, more forceful and if you use your strengths and originality, you’ll be far more successful, too. Your love life stabilises in a very sexual way.

PISCES
This is the time to clarify your dreams, hopes and wishes, and you can reach any goal now, however far-fetched others think your ideas are. Your strength is your ability to comfort others, but your downfall is drowning in your own emotions. Let him love and comfort you tonight.

ARIES
Your career is leaping ahead, so you should see the financial recognition you deserve. The more you are in contact with your associates, business groups and friends, the more influence you have. You have the strength and stamina to meet any demands. Love-wise, if he’s slow, you’ll have to be more direct.

The Sun moves into Aquarius, and it’s time to assess your achievements and how best to achieve your goals. Your behaviour and attitude are key to your success, so don’t overreact or get angry, no matter how frustrated you are. Things are looking up, and friendship and love are in harmony.

GEMINI
Always eager to learn new tricks, the move of the Sun into Aquarius sees you ready to pursue further training or a higher education. Travelling abroad to wherever you can broaden your horizons and outlook is very tempting, too. More sensitive than usual, sex is not a priority today.

CANCER
Financial matters are vital now that the Sun has moved into Aquarius, so collect money owed, pay your debts and don’t rely on anyone else – strive for independence. Try not to be too demanding, except in bed where you can teach every guy a thing or two or three.

LEO
You can talk anyone into anything – how else would you have the ability to get them to go along with even your most eccentric ideas? More than usually demanding, your world revolves around relationships and you aren’t going to change your mind about anyone or anything.

VIRGO
The move of the Sun into Aquarius puts the focus on your daily work, your efficiency and your daily responsibilities. How can you increase your influence and become fitter? Are you neglecting your health? Relax tonight with some smouldering, highly sexual moves.

SCORPIO
The Sun joining Mercury in Aquarius focuses even more strongly on your home and property. If renovations are necessary, this is the time to get started. Your family give you the support you need, and you can easily mend any broken bridges. Take a new love affair more slowly than usual.

SAGITTARIUS
The Sun moving into Aquarius emphasizes all the Cs – cars, computers, communication, contacts and correspondence. Express your opinions without becoming aggressive or upsetting anyone, and let others have their say, too. You see the carnal possibilities in every man you meet.

CAPRICORN
Through your own efforts as well as with the help of your boss and co-workers you’ll find your financial situation improving, but you have to be pro-active, efficient, motivated and very imaginative. Your self-esteem is vital – value yourself.

Mercury moving into Aquarius means you have some unique and very creative ideas for making money. Your mind is quicker than usual, so follow them through, no matter how eccentric. Just stick to your values and priorities, especially if challenged. Love is more than just infatuation.

AQUARIUS
You want to talk about yourself, your ideas, your dreams and your abilities. Luckily, these are very creative, so everyone will listen and hopefully be willing to go along with them. Spend time this weekend with your family, or just alone at home re-charging those inner batteries. Exotic passion rules.

PISCES
This is not the time to gossip with friends. Don’t even share your ideas – just quietly gather all the information you can from the net, from experts and even from your dreams. Learn from past mistakes, too. Socialise this weekend, but keep time for love pampering.

ARIES
It’s time to sort out who or what might be keeping you back, so focus on your career, especially on associates, groups and organisation which can help you up the success ladder. Everything is going well for you so don’t lose momentum now. Love is more social than sexual.

TAURUS
You have the strength of mind and the mental outlook to get the job you want, but it seems there is still a lot of paperwork to be done. You could hear some good news, though, if you keep focussed. Instead of being the power behind the throne, try being the power on your own thrown. Love is lustful.

GEMINI
You need to search beyond your current environment to gain a broader perspective. Your feet are itching to be free to follow your soul’s desire. So, book that ticket and make that speech! Love-wise, you want friendship and sensitive understanding all wrapped in one intense relationship.

CANCER
Joint income and partnerships are probably still taking up much of your time, so you need to be resourceful and ready for any move. Keep a clear head before entering or finalising negotiations. Keep your family, business associates and friends in the loop. Trust is a vital ingredient for your relationships to flourish.

LEO
No-one is in doubt about where you stand today, but you’ll need some expert advice if contracts, negotiations are underway regarding your career or a joint venture. It certainly looks good, but keep your eyes open! Emotional tension in your love life makes you hot tonight.

VIRGO
You know that, whatever you do, it’s all in the planning and in your organisational skills. You’ll probably want to do it all yourself, or at the very least oversee everything, whether it’s booking a holiday with your boyfriend or taking your career to a new level. Only a special man appeases your sexual appetite today.

LIBRA
Your creative projects take on an added intensity and passion whether you are on a trip somewhere or just having fun with friends. The main focus, though, is your romantic life. You believe in love, and with your added charm and beauty there’s no holding your sensuality back.

SCORPIO
It’s time to focus on your home, your family and any real estate dealings. Do keep your documents, keys and electronic equipment safe, especially if the house is turned upside down by painters and decorators. You don’t need dust or paint on the computer. Obsessive addiction rules your love life.

SAGITTARIUS
Even though it’s the weekend, you are still involved in meetings and gathering information as well as enjoying a very active social scene. Luckily everyone loves your latest ideas, but even so, don’t tire yourself out. Be as organised and methodical as you can. Sex is great, but you still need your freedom.

AQUARIUS

PISCES
Finances are on your mind today. It’s no good sitting and waiting for them to improve - you need to be pro-active and find the solutions yourself. Discuss with business associates, co-workers and your friends, but you’ll do your best work quietly alone. You veer between demure and steaming hot – exciting!

ARIES

SAGITTARIUS
Using those creative talents you sometimes keep hidden you can make as much money as you need, but it will take some work as well as all the luck that comes your way.

AQUARIUS
Feeling boxed in today, you need to get out and about, be in contact with as many people as possible and take time out on your own whenever you feel too closed in. Try not to lose your cool too quickly - not everyone is as quick on the uptake as you. Forget the brains tonight - you need the brawn!

PISCES

GEMINI
The emphasis is on transforming yourself so you can have it all, and you are way ahead of the game. Associates and friends will either support you or resent your chutzpah and resourcefulness. Either way, you are flying! Love-wise, you seem tireless, and being faithful might not be an option.

CANCER
You need the co-operation of your associates and business partners. If there is any doubt or disagreements, then you’ll have to use a mediator to act on your behalf. However, using your charm and negotiating powers will most likely be enough. You want excitement - just be aware of the risks.

SAGITTARIUS
Your charm today means that most people will go along with your financial plans as you could sell ice to an Eskimo with your skills… Just don’t take anyone for granted. Love-wise, your boyfriend seems ready to go along with most of your wishes - which, for once, aren’t OTT.

AQUARIUS

Are you keeping your love affair secret? Why?

CANCER
Your energy is centred not only on your career, but on all partnerships and alliances, and you can be quite intense. Focus on the small details and, if necessary, get a lawyer to help you sort out legal issued and contracts. Your fantasies could well be satisfied tonight.

LEO
At work you are ready to fight for truth and justice for yourself as well as for your co-workers, but if you do too much you’ll get over-stressed. It’s time to see friends, bring some romance into your life and plan your next holiday. Love is sexy, exhilirating and fun.

VIRGO

AQUARIUS
You have luck on your side, but you can’t rely on winning the lottery to make the money you need. You’ll just have to knuckle down and get on with some hard work. If you make your work fun you’ll find prosperity within easy reach. Sex-wise, you veer between eroticism and coolness.

PISCES
You’re in the mood to start a new project or business venture, maybe from home, so don’t be put off by everyone (especially your family) telling you what to do. Don’t criticise, just listen and take what is relevant and useful. Don’t exhaust your man with your constant need for appreciation. Instead, be playful.

ARIES
You are the ultimate sexual siren, but sometimes you let emotions soften and become almost maternal - actually enjoying cosy cuddling. If your computer or other skills are not up to the job, now is the time to find the right teacher so you aren’t left behind in the technology race.

TAURUS
Everyone is open to what you have to say, including co-workers and business associates, so now is the time to go after that special job. Don’t exaggerate your status as it could lessen your chances of that top job. You are fairly quiet, but you have a wicked sense of humour - use it! Fun sex becomes quite a workout.

GEMINI
You can’t always avoid getting hurt - it’s time to face your fears, take a few risks and let your true potential come out. You might find a joint venture or partnership works best, though you’ll have to keep a sharp eye on the finances. Love-wise, don’t think - just act!

CANCER
You probably think you aren’t making any progress at all in your new career - stop being little Ms. Nice and get on with it! Forget guilt – there are so many options opening up to you, you need to take your courage and follow your intuition. Love is all about pure, unadulterated sex.

LEO
Not everything is working out for you, but don’t kid yourself into thinking others have it all. It’s time to get your colleagues and associates on your side - perhaps a really good business partnership will come out of it? Money-wise, be cautious. Love, like business, is all about timing.

VIRGO
Friends and business associations are your route to good fortune, but do be careful as they can just as easily be the reason you ruin your reputation. Compassion and understanding are great, but not when your career is at stake. Go after what you want. In love, show him how you feel.

LIBRA
There are just too many choices open to you. Use your intuition but don’t make hard-and-fast decisions today. You need to listen to practical advice rather than chasing the end of the rainbow. Under your cool image is an unusually emotional and sexual woman - your boyfriend will love it!

SCORPIO
Your finances are looking good, especially when you bring a creative element into the mix - but extravagance or spending money you don’t have will bring disaster. Listen to the experts! Don’t compromise your values for anyone. If you aren’t in tune with your man, move on.

SAGITTARIUS
You like the idea of a joint venture as you enjoy working with other people but if you have the ideas now, just go with them otherwise you’ll miss the opportunity to make the money you need and to experience huge personal growth. Romance rules in your own highly individual way.

Working as part of a team will be easier than going it alone, but you’ll have to be very co-operative and less opinionated if you want everyone’s approval. Don’t get upset if not everyone agrees – not everyone will have your insight. Does your boyfriend give you the tender, loving support you need tonight?

AQUARIUS
Stop worrying about everyone else – it’s time to look after your own financial problems. Use your intuition, but don’t do anything too reckless or unconventional, and be open to suggestions and advice. Love-wise, you desperately want to get in touch with your feelings – and his.

PISCES
Being surrounded by people is great, but you’ll actually accomplish much more when working alone so that you can see your dreams and visions realised. Sharing the same values as your friends is important, and a deep love relationship could materialise if you keep your emotions under control.

ARIES
The sun shines on your love life leaving you feeling nurturing, protected and very sexy. This is a great time to target your business associates and tell them about your intuitive insights as to where you should be heading. It’s exciting, if a bit scary.

TAURUS
There doesn’t seem to be anything holding you back now, so no excuses - just get on with it! There could well be extra work coming your way so you’ll need all your co-workers and associates to pitch in to help. Your friends supply the nurturing and your boyfriend the fun, playful love.

GEMINI
Your butterfly mind isn’t helped by Mars inspiring you in too many different directions, but when you concentrate you can achieve huge career success today. Stop chattering, get those emotions under control and focus on your ambitions. You could be a bit sexually demanding, too.

CANCER
You’re agreeable and friendly, but does anyone really know what you really want, and what you really mean? You come across as pretty intense and can be quite forceful, but your emotions can quickly bring you to tears. Great sex, which is a necessity for you, will help you unwind. You are ready to show him how.

LEO
Love-wise, if your boyfriend isn’t doing it for you, it’s absolutely time to move on. Your energy is centred around partnerships and joint ventures both marriage and business. You are ready to give them everything, but expect a lot in return. You won’t accept anything but the best.

VIRGO
Lazy, loving but unpredictable is how your boyfriend sees your love-making! What you really need is some fun, laughter – try not to be over critical? Let everyone else make the first move at work, start any negotiations - only then come in sort it all out to suit you.

LIBRA
Whatever you do now is done to improve your happiness – work at home whether cleaning, decorating or moving will help. The answer is in your hands. Your love making should be inspired but you seem oddly shy – let your intuition guide you.

SCORPIO
Today isn’t about logical answers to problems or even putting your ideas across – it’s all about using your instincts to do the right thing, say the right thing at the right time… You could easily get depressed today so need your fiery, airy friends to keep you upbeat – your boyfriend could be the answer.

SAGITTARIUS
You have loads of ideas but today you just aren’t in practical move – you see the big picture, but seem to fall down on the nitty gritty, everyday practicalities… Money slips through your fingers too – a joy to all the hangers-on and anyone who asks! Don’t take your aggression out on your boyfriend.

]]> Mon, 14 Jan 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/13-january-2013 CAPRICORN
On one hand you want to do what’s right, using your leadership qualities and making quick financial decisions, but your unconventionality could upset your family. Think twice as the battle of wills could spill over into your love life.

AQUARIUS
Your personal planet makes your ideas even more unconventional – perhaps it’s best to keep quiet about some of your more outlandish ones? Your boyfriend will love some of your more innovative moves, but do try not to be too bossy.

PISCES
Today you are thinking big, taking in the wider picture and you have sympathy for everyone in need, not just your immediate family and friends. But your family might not be that excited by your generous gestures, especially if you can’t afford them. There’s nothing old-fashioned about your love life.

ARIES
You come across as flashy and fun, but a lot of careful planning has probably gone into your latest venture. Just don’t overload yourself – if you get tired, you could end up in an argument or confrontation. Luckily for your man, your sexual needs outweigh your need for freedom.

TAURUS
Your personal planet is in difficult aspect to Uranus, making it hard for you to anticipate what will happen next. This is exciting, but not so easy to handle. Take your courage and consider going for the top job. You’ll know exactly what to say as your reactions are quick. Tension makes for great sex.

GEMINI
Friends are key today, and you might just decide to rid yourself of the old faithful ones and move on to new, more exciting associations. Think carefully first as you need people around who share your values and goals. Sex is great, but is there friendship too?

CANCER
A love affair could turn into a lifetime partnership, but both this and a business partnership could turn sour if either of you don’t keep your word. Read any legal documents very carefully, and be decisive if there is anything you disagree with. Sex will exhilarate, but is there too much togetherness?

LEO
You need your family to join you if you are to accomplish what you set out to do – renovating, decorating or anything else to do with your home. The quicker you get started, the faster you’ll finish, so take the lead and get on with it! Sex is one place where you’ll gain when you give up control.

VIRGO
Cooler and more detached than usual, you are more determined than ever to use your creative ideas to make money. Today think up ways of getting your colleagues on your side – if that doesn’t work, then you can always move on. Your creative ideas make your love life a winner too.

LIBRA
It’s a great day for inviting friends home as you are ready to socialize and have some fun. Try not to criticise your family if they don’t carry out your orders fast enough when you get tired of doing it all yourself. You’ve enough energy for elaborate lovemaking, though.

SCORPIO
Take time out at home to assimilate all your rather OTT and eccentric ideas. Research over the internet first, ask the experts and only act when you have all the answers. If the idea is worth it, your family will help – but, whatever happens, you expect your boyfriend’s support.

SAGITTARIUS
Full of ideas to increase your finances, you now have all the courage, bravery and decisiveness to make it happen. Ask yourself if you need anyone to help you or whether you do better on your own as this could alienate your family. In love there is no secret formula as anything goes.

]]> Sun, 13 Jan 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/12-january-2013 CAPRICORN
You have some innovative ideas for making money, but you are frustrated by all the obstacles and problems standing in your way. Instead of fretting that you are going nowhere fast, try a bit of patience, slow down and you’ll soon find another path. The battle could continue in the bedroom – just be there for your man.

AQUARIUS
Routine is out today as you want the freedom to try out your latest ideas. You’ll probably try to do far too much and then become stressed by it all, and it will no longer feel like the adventure you had hoped for. You don’t seem too sure of your feelings either – take time out alone.

PISCES
Just when everything needs to be as organised as possible obstacles crop up and no-one, including you, is capable of finding the solution. The ideas that come up don’t make sense. Try spending a little time on your own and the right answers will come. Dark moods lighten with erotic lovemaking.

ARIES
Putting your rather zany new ideas across to your colleagues and business associates may not be such a good idea today. Instead of understanding they could dismiss them out of hand. Your confidence will rub off on them. There isn’t much feeling today, but the sex is amazing.

TAURUS
Your air of independence hides any lack of self-confidence – just don’t appear over-positive or excited but (however hard it is for you today) listen to what others have to say, even if you think your way will make more money. You need your boyfriend to listen if he is to be rewarded with stellar sex.

GEMINI
Listen to your intuition today – it will help you overcome any frustrations as you realise that not everything goes according to plan, no matter how optimistic you are. If you are owed money, you’ll be better off waiting a couple of days before taking action. Sex is fun, but love can wait.

CANCER
Warm and friendly today, you come across as a little less emotional, yet still sincere and capable as you deal with an urgent financial matter. The trouble is that however hard you want to make the right decisions they seem to backfire. Try using patience - it’ll all be fine in the end. You’re a little too tired for love.

LEO
Spending time with friends and groups will probably seem like too much hard work today – frustration more than fun! Just hang in there as you’ll really benefit from the association in the end. You want your boyfriend to support you as well as satisfy your carnal needs.

VIRGO
Today you feel your family is failing because they don’t agree with everything you say - this is the weekend and should be fun, so don’t a few disagreements stop you. Do what’s best for you and it’ll be best for them, too. Only dazzling lovemaking will satisfy.

LIBRA
A cool customer today, you won’t let anyone upset you - even if there are delays to your travel plans. Meet up with people who broaden your mind rather than stamping on your ambitions. You thrive on love and romance, and there is the chance of a romantic fling.

SCORPIO
Don’t let anyone persuade you to spend too much or go into a joint venture or partnership. Even if your plans aren’t happening today, now is the time to lay the foundations for the future. Stick to your own powerful independent ideas. Your maternal instincts rule.

SAGITTARIUS
You need your friends and loved ones around you, but they don’t seem to be as co-operative as usual. Are you taking their goodwill for granted? Don’t push it at the moment – rely on yourself for now. Tomorrow will be better! Love is sexy and lusty.

The New Moon brings new energy and enthusiasm, and it’s time to focus on yourself by getting a makeover, a new hairstyle, some designer gear and joining a gym or starting a diet. The healthier your self-image, the easier it is to achieve your personal goals. Arrogance will not impress your boyfriend.

AQUARIUS
The New Moon suggests it’s time to look at the past year and see what you’ve achieved and what still needs to be done. Spending private time alone will help you put things into perspective. Your love life seems to be a sensitive issue as dreams, fantasies and secrets loom large.

PISCES
Joining groups, business organisations and making new friends are all promised in the New Moon, and your social life will be extremely busy. What are your priorities and goals? They have probably changed, so set new ones now. Sex is heavy and seductive.

ARIES
Your reputation is at stake, so promote yourself and your business or career goals. You know exactly what you want and where you are going – just make sure you say the right thing at the right time. Love is complicated and pretty extreme.

TAURUS
Whatever you do now will impact your future whether it’s studying, learning new skills or keeping up-to-date with the latest technology. Broaden your horizons by making the effort to mix with people from different cultures and countries. Living in luxury is great – just make sure you can afford it!

GEMINI
Being a partner (in love or in business) doesn’t mean you have to give up your own identity, and joint decisions need to be made rather than one of you being demanding or critical. This is a good time to assess your progress. Your love life is highly sexual, but is there warmth and cosiness too?

CANCER
The New Moon is putting the emphasis on your love life, business partnerships and all your relationships. Single Cancers, you could meet someone new, a relationship could end or a new one could start. Your love life looks highly charged – you need a fire or air sign friend to lighten your day!

LEO
The emphasis is on what motivates you at work, and what turns you off. Are you doing the right sort of work? It’s time to sort out your health so have your yearly medical, see the dentist and stop smoking. You’ll lose your cool air of sophistication in the bedroom.

VIRGO
It’s time to pursue the things that make you happy and to bring more fun into your life using your creative skills. Learn to tango or take up belly dancing instead of going to the gym, or enrol in a painting class – if you are single, try a new dating site.

LIBRA
Your career, your home and your family are all emphasised by the New Moon. When you give support to your family, they’ll contribute to your success and career goals. Property deals should go well, but consider carefully before rushing in. You need a man to support all your wishes.

SCORPIO
It’s time to keep your knowledge up-to-date – don’t fall behind in the technology race. You’ll be in contact with more people than usual, and will probably travel more so make sure your car is in good condition. Your leadership skills are sharp now. Is this an obsession or love? You need to decide.

SAGITTARIUS
Are you satisfied with your income? It’s time to look at how you can make more than you need. Don’t buy cheap goods – acquire assets that will increase in value or add to your stature. Your stress levels are high, but luckily nothing ever stops your love life.

]]> Fri, 11 Jan 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/10-january-2013 CAPRICORN
You express your feelings in a very intuitive way, despite needing a certain amount of freedom to be yourself and to say what you want. You have a vision - now is the time to bring it to reality, but there is no need to rush it. Slow and steady is just fine.

AQUARIUS
You seem a bit vulnerable today, and you are ready to rush off at the slightest setback or problem. Freedom is important, but your sense of honour stops you in your tracks. Being really well-organised gives you time to adjust to any change in plans. Love-wise, your sense of humour rules.

PISCES
Calmer than usual, today you can achieve everything you set out to do - quietly, and without fuss. Just be yourself. Love-wise, perhaps you should look no further than to your best (male!) friend. He might just be the one person you really need.

ARIES
Not only are you in the spotlight, but you know exactly what you want and how to it. Luckily, you know exactly what to say and how to say it so you don’t upset anyone. They all want to help you. Love is looking complicated, and drama rules.

TAURUS
It’s time to turn your fantasies into reality, no matter how way-out. You are often turned on by security, but now it’s time to widen your horizons and let some adventure into your life. Having the best of everything is one thing - now it’s time to follow the dream.

GEMINI
You seem unusually pedantic and slow today, and you are more ambitious and determined than usual. You can see your career goals coming to fruition, so you are set on reaching them. You are more diplomatic than usual, too. Love-wise, intense passion rather than fun rules the bedroom.

CANCER
Your love life is more carnal even than usual as you enjoy passion and sex in an intense and exaggerated way. Try letting your fire and air sign friends bring some lightness and fun into your life today. Career-wise, you might have to postpone or change your plans.

LEO
You know what you want - the question is whether to go for it or if you should slow down and consider others, too. Be practical and get yourself organised - you have the energy to accomplish anything and everything. In love, try not to be too possessive.

VIRGO
Your quiet magnetism is your greatest asset today, and as it’s combined with your creative talents you’ll find your career going from strength to strength. You know you can reach whatever goals you visualise. You thrive in love and romance today, and your man can’t do enough for you.

LIBRA
Your family could get upset if you change your plans, so you’ll have to decide what you really want to do next. Perhaps it’s better to keep quiet until you have made up your mind? Don’t be too impulsive! You need your boyfriend to be as fabulous as you - second-best just won’t do.

SCORPIO
Full of great ideas, you’ll have to decide which course of action and which route to take as boring routine is just not on your agenda. Focus on the vision, and you’ll achieve all your goals. Although Jupiter is encouraging passion, you’re content to take it easy today.

SAGITTARIUS
You take yourself far too seriously today, and easily get angry when anyone disagrees with you. Your financial situation is all-important, and you don’t need to be extravagant to make an impression on anyone. Don’t feel you have to clamber up the social ladder. Let love rule!

You are attracting all the attention today so be charming and co-operative, and let your sense of humour shine. Make sure you look your best, too - you can be quite the exhibitionist when you want to be. Control your love of luxury if you want to keep your money intact. Love is audacious!

AQUARIUS
You seem more involved in your private, secretive world - an illicit love affair, dreams and fantasies, feeling too fat, too thin or just plain unsociable. Work-wise, your creative ideas have great merit - discuss with business associates and go for it. Do you have the energy for love?

PISCES
Your concern has more to do with your own happiness than that of others, so think about the role you play in the lives of your friends, business associates, family as well as that of your boyfriend. What can you do to make it even better? Are you committed enough, and does your boyfriend really understand?

ARIES
When you let your co-workers and business associates know that you want to co-operate and that you really are interested in them, you’ll get the help you need. Don’t hold back - enjoy being in the spotlight! Control and focus are important today. In love, magic rules.

TAURUS

Stay positive, and your charm will win you everything you want, but you have to promote yourself. Your self- confidence soars, and love charms.

GEMINI
Everything you do at the moment has a touch of intensity and passion about it, whether discussing finance or sharing the same sense of humour. Joint ventures and partnerships, both love and business, have more importance now. Your love life improves, and you’re almost addicted to him.

CANCER
It’s time to focus on everyone else rather than on yourself, so be aware of what others are going through and how you can help. The more co-operative you are, the more you’ll succeed, too. Romance seems to be giving way to love and passion today - just how you like it!

LEO
You could easily indulge in an office romance, though Saturn does warn you that self-control will be necessary! Beautifying your office space to make it as peaceful and harmonious as possible will lessen any stress. Romance and nurturing are needed.

VIRGO
This is a good time to take a break and have some fun. Don’t refuse any invitations now, especially if you want to meet that special new man. Invite friends home, too. Think about your ideas before you take action at work. Compromise is needed in your love life.

LIBRA
Your home is the focus for the next few weeks, and this is a great time to decorate, add music, plants and even soft lighting to your living space. Be imaginative, but also keep an eye on your wallet. Use your creative skills today. You are in the mood to satisfy all his fantasies, but what does he do for you?

SCORPIO
Using your charm with a sense of humour rather than relying on flattery will be very persuasive, and you’ll get along better with your neighbours as well as your siblings. Participating in community affairs and activities could become your focus, too, but don’t neglect your family. Erotic love satisfies.

SAGITTARIUS
If you have the money, you want to be surrounded by luxury - that designer bag, those Versace jeans… whatever turns you on. You’re also having a designer boyfriend, but if you order him around too much, he’ll leave. Sort yourself out first!

More emotional than usual, you seem unusually vague, with your feelings overwhelming your common sense no matter how hard you try to concentrate and get organised… Relax! Clear your mind when driving. A secret, illicit love affair is exciting, even if more fantasy than reality.

AQUARIUS
Adventure calls, and risky financial investments add to the excitement. The trouble is you find it hard to judge what is bad and what has potential. Rather than risk losing big time, swallow your pride and ask a financial expert. Your love life looks bright and very sexy.

PISCES
At work you could easily lose sight of reality today. You want the glamour, the big car and the large house, but can’t seem to knuckle down to the hard work. Listen to your business associates rather than not very well-meaning friends. Let your intuition rule – at work as well as in bed.

ARIES
Developing your skills, knowledge and widening your horizons are necessary if you are to reach your career goals. Not everyone will agree, but you must follow your own ideas, no matter how experimental. In love there are no rules.

TAURUS
Research, investigate and see what you want and where you want your career to go. Do watch your spending as extravagance now could lead to total disaster. You could lose your boyfriend if you are reluctant to give up your independence – think carefully. When is enough enough?

GEMINI
Your ideas are probably OTT, but with investigation and thought, they’ll really work for you. Don’t be afraid to ask for advice – you might even listen! You need love in your life so don’t put your boyfriend off by being too bossy and demanding. Let love grow.

CANCER
Not everyone recognises your genius or even your latest clever idea, but you know that by being practical and organised it will be of great benefit. Your love life is not only turbulent, it’s intensely passionate – just don’t confuse sex with real love?

LEO
You are attracting more friends, some from different countries and cultures, but how many are real? These will stay through good times and bad. Your creative talents need practical application to really work, and you’ll make money if you do. You could meet that perfect man at a business function - go for it!

VIRGO
Use your creative skills to make more money, perhaps working from home. Be careful if choosing a business partner – the more honest and straightforward you are, the easier it’ll be to find the right person. The same goes for your love life.

LIBRA
It’s hard for you to work out exactly what you need to do and what others expect of you today – instead of buying into this confusion, ask! Otherwise, think up new ideas in your own innovative, creative way – don’t limit yourself; there are many areas where you could succeed. Love is fun, naughty and satisfying.

SCORPIO
You’ve been full of ideas these last couple of weeks – now you want to see the money rolling in. If you’ve been extravagant over the festive season, you’ll have to work extra hard to catch up. Even your love life is OTT, you don’t have to go along with everything he suggests.

SAGITTARIUS
Love and business partnerships are working out just fine – as long as you don’t take them for granted, but work as an equal. When in doubt, listen to your intuition as it could save you a great deal of angst. How long can even you sustain this level of vigorous lovemaking?

You feel quite emotional over your financial situation and could easily overreact. Instead of getting too angry, blaming others or even working overtime to earn more, just relax and see if there is a better way. Friends will probably give better advice and support than your boyfriend today.

AQUARIUS
You are hands-on at the moment, but today could be far too aggressive in your need to get things done. Control your instinct to argue – it could easily lead to an accident or a bad headache. Take time out to relax and listen to your intuition, and let your boyfriend convince you that you aren’t up against the world.

ARIES
Mars, your personal planet, is taking your energy and enthusiasm in so many different directions, even you find it hard to cope so you feel frustrated and out-of-control. Relax! In a couple of days you’ll just laugh about it. Love is dynamic, highly sexual and very emotional, but extremely satisfying.

TAURUS
Confrontation won’t work to your advantage today as you are too emotional. Hold back, wait a few days and keep your head down. Concentrate on the work at hand in a serious, committed way. Your love life is quite electric, and you won’t have the energy for arguments.

If you lose your cool at work today, there is every chance you’ll have an accident. There are projects to be finished so the best way is to knuckle down and concentrate on the most important items in a very organised and methodical way. Love-wise, are you as committed as your boyfriend?

CANCER
Even more intense than usual, all the small details come under your scrutiny. Joint bank accounts, business partnerships and shared money are particularly vulnerable – make sure you pay your debts and collect anything owed to you. Sensitive lovemaking is needed.

LEO
Look at contracts and negotiations in detail so that you don’t lose out financially or give up your control. Legal proceedings won’t be pleasant, but might be necessary. Lovemaking is inspired, even your most way-out fantasies could be explored.

VIRGO
You’ll get a lot of things done today, but at what cost to your health? Don’t let anything stress you out or you could get a bad headache or even have an accident on the road. If possible, share your problems with co-workers, but avoid arguments or anger. Love-wise, you have the power – possibly too much?

LIBRA
Eager to get your finances in order, you are ready to rush in – just don’t lose your cool! Use your stronger-than-usual creative imagination to add spark to your work. Over-indulgence could be a huge problem today, and even innocent flirting could cause your boyfriend to be jealous.

SCORPIO
Your home and family are the focus, and you are prepared to protect them no matter what. Focus your energy on a new business venture or doing repairs and renovations. Take care, though – don’t fall or have an accident and avoid arguments. Obsessive sex rules.

Think about the role you play in the lives of your friends, your parents and boyfriend – he probably prospers because of you.

ARIES
You can feel all the undercurrents that are going on between your colleagues, friends and even your family. Rather than letting them affect you, keep your distance – focus instead on your career, reputation and direction you want to go. Sexual sparks are flying.

TAURUS
Rather than being too sensitive sand adaptive all the time, you need to enlist the co-operation of co-workers through persuasion if you are to get a project out. Control your emotions and be assertive, but charming. your sexual connection is both passionate and loving – a winner.

GEMINI
It’s easy to focus and concentrate on whatever you are doing but if you become too critical and demanding, you’ll find everyone keeps away no matter much status or money you have. Relieve your stress levels by fulfilling your sexual fantasies – and his…

You want peace and tranquillity and to know that whatever you do, you feel and safe and secure whether at work, with friends or your boyfriend. Try to stop being too emotional and OTT about it all – the lighter and more upbeat you are, the easier your life will be.

VIRGO
You want to have fun, to socialise and let your imagination run riot. And it does today, but in an OTT and emotional way. If you can keep these passions under control, you’ll find your career and work is on track, there is romance in the air and you hear from friends and siblings.

LIBRA
Your home and family are the targets of your energy, but today you start worrying if you can afford the rent or mortgage, if you said something which upset them, if you need to decorate – and if you are loved and needed. Yes, you are but not if you keep going on and on about money.

SCORPIO
Talk about drama –if you can’t talk rationally without so much passion it’s probably best if you keep quiet today. Wait a couple of days until the Moon has moved out of your own sign and you can gauge people’s moods and views. Love is totally obsessive, but are you too hot to handle?

SAGITTARIUS
Your natural fire is being drenched by the OTT emotions of the over-watery Scorpio Moon today, and you’ll have to work extra hard to keep upbeat, especially if you feel your financial situation is out of control. Your love life looks good as you enjoy the eroticism the Moon brings today.

Be very careful what you say and how you say it if you want to take advantage of the good aspect of Mars and Jupiter otherwise they will over-react and you’ll be the financial loser… In love, is there too much baggage? Show your caring.

AQUARIUS
Exaggeration or intellectual arrogance could be the cause of misunderstandings – you might be a great competitor, but you could be the loser today if you aren’t careful. It’s best today to keep quiet, and gossip is a total no-no. A romantic gesture will cheer you up.

PISCES
Standing on your soap-box and speaking your truth won’t get you what you want, no matter how passionate you are. First, clear your mind of pre-conceived ideas and notions and think carefully about what you really want to say. Intense love-making might help – but is it the answer?

ARIES
Despite your need for peace and harmony, you will probably be quite combative. Don’t expect anyone to go along with you – they’ll fight back and that makes it even harder for you to resolve the differences. So, be confident but not pushy. Really wild sex will ease tension.

TAURUS
Being too ordered, obsessively neat and tidy as well as critical of everyone who doesn’t go along with your standards could make you very unpopular. It might be best to keep your opinions to yourself today, no matter how well-informed you are. Imaginative sex rules.

GEMINI
Your vivid imagination is a great asset today, but you’ll have to keep your intense emotions under control and be your usual light, butterfly-like self. Luckily your boyfriend enjoys your unusually high level of physical passion – enjoy!

CANCER
In an ideal situation you’d be at home with your boyfriend, sharing the tins of paint as you re-decorate, doing the cooking and washing-up together. Make sure you ask rather than tell him what to do next if you want the togetherness to stay. Your highly erotic love making will help, though.

LEO
Exchange ideas and opinions, but make sure that it is what you really want before you agree to anything – even if he is your new boyfriend. A little bit of confrontation could stimulate your love life as long as you aren’t critical or sarcastic.

VIRGO
Love and romance are in the air, but your practical nature still insists that you look after your hard-earned money first. Don’t fret, Mars and Jupiter are making your career dreams come true. Sex-wise, if your boyfriend hasn’t got any ideas, your imagination is enough for you both.

LIBRA
You want fun, travel and freedom to be yourself, but there is a part of you just wanting to be safe, at home, close to family and your boyfriend. Be positive – what you do and say now could affect your future together. Would you rather just be good friends?

SCORPIO
You really do think that your ideas are the only ones worth listening to – but if you are too domineering, everyone will rebel. Balance is needed, so be assertive but willing to listen to what everyone else has to say too. Are you really in the mood for sex?

SAGITTARIUS
Don’t discuss your personal financial information with friends, or even with a new boyfriend, just because you are in the mood to chat. Instead, talk to a professional investment broker or your bank. Have you tapped in to all your talents yet?

]]> Sat, 05 Jan 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/04-january-2013 CAPRICORN
Use your increased sensitivity to help those in trouble and, if necessary, use your newfound confidence to forgive and forget so that you can all move on. Focus on your career – being in control of your daily routine brings positive results. In love, every day is like a new beginning.

AQUARIUS
Itchy feet? It’s time to go after your dreams and aspirations – you’ve been thinking about them long enough! Take your courage and just do it. Love-wise, go with romance. Sex should be fun and playful with a touch of the exotic.

PISCES
Always intense, the support of your family gives you the confidence to talk about your worries with the knowledge that you can easily overcome them. Friends are waiting to hear from you so it’s time to phone, visit and socialise. Make love like there’s no tomorrow…

ARIES
Love-wise, your libido is buzzing so much that you can be quite aggressive. Does this turn your man off? At work, you have the ideas and easily put them across to associates and co-workers, but are they open to such innovative thinking? You may have to tame them a little.

TAURUS
When you are open to new insights, you’ll be able to let the past go and concentrate on the future. Today brings the perfect opportunity to get your career back on track and your bank balance benefitting. Your sexual imagination is working overtime – wow!

GEMINI
This could be one of the best days all month if you let love and romance flourish. Sex is often not be a priority, but although today is all about socialising and having fun, you are still one hot mama. Business partnerships and joint ventures are on the up – don’t ignore the routine stuff.

CANCER
Your financial situation seems to be making you very intense – rather than sitting and worrying, research and investigate. A positive attitude will ensure that joint finances and ventures do well. Your liberal attitude towards your love and sex life might upset your boyfriend.

LEO
Talk to your co-workers about your ideas and what you want to do, but try not to be too intense. When you let everyone have the space to explain their own ideas too, everyone will co-operate. In love and romance, flattery will get you everywhere today.

VIRGO
Use your heightened imagination and creative ideas at work as everyone will love them - and you, when they realise how much money it’ll make! Love-wise, use your intuitive self- confidence to know when to initiate lovemaking and when to let your man take the lead.

LIBRA
Give your imagination free rein and you’ll achieve everything you ever dreamt of. This isn’t the day to hold back – everything is going for you so follow your heart with energy and soul. Your feelings and libido are ready for exotic lovemaking, but do you have the time?

SCORPIO
Your energy levels are high and you know what you want, so let Venus bring you the charm when negotiating terms and conditions both at home and at work. Meetings go well – but do mind what you say and how you say it. Try to keep emotions out of the equation. Sex? Perhaps not tonight.

SAGITTARIUS
You are concerned about your finances, so speak to those who matter, using all your sensitivity and intuition. Your latest ideas have great commercial possibilities and will be well received so be confident and decisive, but don’t forget the charm. Love knows no limits.

]]> Fri, 04 Jan 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/03-january-2013 CAPRICORN
The more organised and hard-working you are today, the more money you’ll make – but chances are you’ll get upset if someone disagrees or argues with you. Instead of anger, give off an air of confidence and gradually they’ll come round. Comforting love rules.

AQUARIUS
You can create a winning situation at work today by using your creative talents – energy follows thought, so trust your imaginative ideas and everything will flow naturally. A relationship today relies more on friendship than on heavy sex.

PISCES
Are you confused about a relationship? Is your boyfriend too demanding and bossy? If it all gets too heavy and emotional, let your friends’ help lighten the load. Just be your usual imaginative, dreamy, and loving self – he’s still fascinated by unpredictable you.

ARIES
Your personal planet, Mars, suggests you use all your self-confidence and energy in business meetings, group discussions and with friends, too. The more you work with others, the more you’ll succeed. Don’t just think – it’s time to do! Sex is very free…

TAURUS
Your energy is taken up with finding that perfect job, even if it means taking your career in a new direction. Don’t limit yourself! You need something that fulfils both your financial and creative needs. You give your boyfriend all the attention he needs – does he reciprocate?

GEMINI
A holiday away with your boyfriend is always welcome, especially as love and romance are uppermost in your mind. Tonight, though, there is the promise of some quite boisterous sex - as long as you don’t get into a fight.

CANCER
A co-worker might not like your latest ideas. Luckily you’ve done your research and can put across convincing arguments as long as you avoid sarcasm. It will still take a while to be finalised, but will be well worth it. Your sexual energy is intense but very satisfying.

LEO
Negotiations will go well today so start setting up a joint venture or business partnership. It’s not only business though – think about moving in with your boyfriend or a long-term commitment. The more willing you are to compromise, the easier it will be. But don’t do anything that is not in your best interests.

VIRGO
You have the energy and confidence to get on with everything that will make your career a huge success, but do try to avoid arguments. Instead, count to ten and wait rather than try to find an immediate solution. You’ll probably be too tired for action tonight.

LIBRA
Life looks a bit unpredictable today, and you feel a bit out of your comfort zone. A love relationship could end suddenly or you begin a new partnership. A business contract needs careful consideration and negotiation, but you’d rather just indulge in romance.

SCORPIO
Discussing ideas for a new joint venture could be causing you some stress. It’s best to avoid financial dealings today. All you want to do is relax with friends, have an early night at home with your love partner.

SAGITTARIUS
Mars is in good aspect to your own personal planet, Jupiter, so you can expect your positive attitude to bring about a winning situation. Singles, you could enter into a partnership with someone who is not your usual type… It might not last, but enjoy every moment while it does.

]]> Thu, 03 Jan 2013 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/02-january-2013 CAPRICORN
Be as tolerant as you can and control any impulse to talk back or argue, no matter how difficult it is not to give your opinions! You want to make things happen but you’ll gain far more if you keep quiet just for today. Even sex-wise, let your boyfriend take the lead.

AQUARIUS
When it comes to making money, your intuition is sharp and you’ll just know when to move with the changing circumstances. You might have to make an unexpected journey – even though this is a good day, it’s worth taking extra care on the road with all the extra traffic around.

PISCES
Rather than descend into the self-pity trap, try to see the big picture. Your intuition is always strong, so tune in – you could gain financial independence if you focus. Work with your boyfriend and family rather than being stubborn. Sex is memorable in more ways than one.

ARIES
Get your career and work back on track especially if you’ve left it alone over the festive season – good organisation and planning are still needed, especially if you’re trying out some new ideas. You want personal growth which might mean going it alone.

TAURUS
Changes could be happening at work. Don’t feel resentful but relish the thought of being independent. Your intuition is stronger than ever – use it to help you promote yourself and your long-range ambitions. You enjoy a symphony of ecstasy today.

GEMINI
Your intuition is working overtime regarding making money, both for yourself and as part of your work, so just follow your vision for the future. Try not to push your ideas on to others – a suggestion is more than enough. Your love life should be happy and spirited if you don’t let your moods get in the way.

CANCER
Your great ideas will help you make the money you want, and a new partnership or joint venture could be inspired. Further research and investigation is necessary before you go ahead. Your imagination works overtime tonight – and keeps your boyfriend excited.

LEO
Working with your colleagues and business partners will bring you more money than going it alone today. The same goes with your boyfriend – when you share the enthusiasm and energy the relationship moves up quite a few notches. Lively sex works wonders.

VIRGO
Your personal planet, Mercury, brings new understanding to all areas of your life, and this is one of the best days all month. Your imaginations and creative abilities are inspired, and everyone will follow your vision. Romance and exotic new moves excite your boyfriend.

LIBRA
You have some inspired ideas, but being down-to-earth and practical both at home and at work will be more productive. Use your imagination with your boyfriend, but remember that he will appreciate the loving, tender moments as well as innovative sex.

SCORPIO
Talk to business associates and colleagues, and be ready to listen and learn rather than only push your own ideas, no matter how good you think they are. They just might have something to say that will make your ideas even better. You need more than imaginative sex – you need friendship and humour.

SAGITTARIUS
With so many innovative new ideas whirling around in your head, it’s time to move your career, work up and make the money you really want and need, but you’ll have to sift through and see what will really work for you. If your love-life isn’t fulfilling, is it time to move on?

Are you making changes at home and for your family? It will cost you more than you bargained for if you don’t plan carefully. Think big rather than spending time on the petty details. Love-wise, you are in the mood for some earthy, satisfying sex.

AQUARIUS
You might try to look demure and lady-like, but underneath is a sizzling hot, sexy woman. Friendship turns to love for some lucky girls today – but whatever happens you’ll remain friends. At work, tell everyone your ideas, solve any problems and make it happen.

PISCES
A bit of a heavy day if you aren’t careful – luckily, good relations with your co-workers and associates help your career goals. Financially, go after that you want. Rather than fearing the worst, use your imagination to make things happen. Love is warm and tender despite your fickleness.

ARIES
Concentrate on your career goals in an organised way and see the bigger picture. Someone from abroad is ready to help. When you make a decision and follow it through, you can achieve everything. Sex is not of great importance today – you need loving support, though.

TAURUS
Romance is in the air, with joint income and the question of common goals arising. Financially, you are worried about the future, and your business associates seem to be confusing the issue. Your love life is quite intense – lighten it with some experimental moves. Together you will succeed.

GEMINI
A misunderstanding with one of your parents or perhaps your boss is a bit distressing, especially if it’s over money – don’t fret and don’t say anything that will cause even more misunderstandings. Be positive, altruistic and forgiving, and work off frustration with some tempestuous sex.

CANCER
Love is in the air, and it might be the time to go for a joint venture, business partnership or marriage – or all three! This could be everything you’ve been waiting for, and there is a great opportunity out there. You probably have a history of sexual relationships, but you don’t have to tell all.

LEO
Today is all about getting down to hard work if you want to make the money you need. Work out your finances carefully, especially if you have a joint account. A trip or holiday abroad with your boyfriend is possible now so go for what you want. Don’t let jealousy get in the way.

VIRGO
Your love life seems confusing – why? Just be as committed as you can to the relationship and enjoy the experimental sex, but be honest about what you enjoy and what you won’t do. Work-wise, it’s easy to solve any problems.

LIBRA
You are probably feeling the ill effects of over-indulgence in all the good things. You know what you should do – sleep, drink lots of water and take it easy today! Your love life looks healthier than the rest of you. Sex-wise, you do things others would be terrified to try.

SCORPIO
You are starting the year on a high, which bodes well for the rest of 2013. You’re still in the mood to socialise, but perhaps you should do some clearing up at home first. Make sure you and your boyfriend are real friends as well as lovers or it won’t last.

SAGITTARIUS
Think out of the box today - are you earning the money you want and need? Do you need a job where your creative talents are appreciated? Your boyfriend might not be adventurous sex-wise as you like, but is he just suffering the effects of over-indulgence?

The New Year sees Mercury moving into your sign, so your thoughts and ideas will be about yourself rather than anyone else. Use your intuition and imagination – energy follows thought, so whatever you dream now, you can turn into a highly successful reality. Love should be traditional and powerful.

AQUARIUS
Listen to your intuition, and your dreams and fantasies could come true this coming year – don’t expect logic to always work. You’ll receive messages and information meant only for you, so don’t gossip or talk but keep information confidential. Love is artistic.

PISCES
You’ll be more free thinking and non-judgmental from the start of this coming year, but you need to let others express themselves too, even if they aren’t as progressive as you. You’ll have to work extra hard at being business-like and organised. Romance rules tonight – but is it reality?

ARIES
Tonight sees you achieving everything you set your mind to, but are you being too rigid? Are you allowing anyone else have a say? Listen and learn – you’ll achieve even more. You are great fun, but perhaps need to bring a little subtlety into your life. Love is hot!

TAURUS
The New Year’s enlightenment is that everything that is happening will ultimately be for the best as you have a broader awareness and understanding. Appreciate tonight’s festivities, whether quietly at home with your lover or dancing the night away. The more sensual love you give, the more you receive.

GEMINI
This coming year suggests that rather than only seeing the superficial, you can now understand the deeper emotional realities of life. But you’ll have to avoid unfounded suspicions which are in your mind – most people are open and honest! Leo charm and magnetism rule tonight.

CANCER
You are able to pre-empt and avoid any problems in your relationships by creating peace and harmony – great for your love life and even better for any business partnerships. You can negotiate terms and contracts now which will benefit you for the whole year. Tonight you are the love-queen.

LEO
You are in straight talking mode, and are able to get to the bottom of every situation in a precise and accurate manner which bodes well for the rest of the coming year. Tonight though, isn’t it time to let your hair down, just be silly and have fun? Let your man take charge of your emotions for once.

VIRGO
The New Year starts with everyone respecting you for you think, say and do. It’s important though that you think big, so don’t limit yourself but be confident and positive. Be open to all your feelings, especially love.

LIBRA
You’ll be more comfortable this coming year when you allow everyone to discuss important matters in a safe, non-confrontational manner. Not tonight, though! You need drama to light up your passion and activate your love life with the promise of commitment.

SCORPIO
This coming year starts with you able to get to the point quickly and easily, even if you do ignore other people’s points of view if they don’t interest you! You’ll be extra busy with meetings, exchanging ideas and information. Tonight it’s party time – drive carefully! Hot, dynamic sex rules.

SAGITTARIUS
The New Year begins with you taking a more practical approach to your finances, and patiently considering all the options instead of your usual instant decisions. Tonight isn’t the night to hold back on your feelings – go for whatever man you set your sights on. It doesn’t have to last, does it?

You can’t hide your ambition for power and influence today as your natural charm brings admiration and notice from those of influence. Make sure you look your best, too – be the shiniest jewel in the box. Your boyfriend has to have an air of success too, and you’ll see to that.

AQUARIUS
With the Moon opposing your Sun sign, you swing from laughter to tears and back, dreaming up ways to sort out the world’s problems with your usual revolutionary ideas. First, take control of your own life and loves. He will find you demanding, lively and highly sexual.

PISCES
If you’ve been spending far too much over the holiday season, you’ll have to think up new different ways of replenishing your bank account… You can do it – just put your mind to it, keeping a firm grip on reality rather than your fantasies. Love-wise, your magic keeps the romance rolling.

ARIES
You seem to have even more energy today, dashing around, helping, organising with fire and passion, and making everything happen just as you want. Exhausting for lesser mortals, though as you enlist everyone’s help. Luckily, no matter how bossy you are, your boyfriend sees you as a feminine, romantic sex Goddess.

TAURUS
This Festive season is all about the good life, and you are still enjoying it with as much luxury as you can afford, with many of you on holiday. There are some long-term career decisions to be made – think about them carefully before taking action. Feminine quality rules your love life and you give it everything you have.

GEMINI
You seem to be filled with even more charm and fun than usual – an asset to every gathering, party as well as at work where your enthusiasm and interesting ideas lighten everyone’s load. Love is just as fulfilling as your sense of fun, romance and laughter make him feel totally special.

CANCER
Even if you won’t admit it out loud, you are the sexual wild-child, offering your magic to whichever man your eyes light upon. And what magic! Today you probably want your man to be the father figure. You need your business acumen to be sharp as you think up new money-making ideas.

LEO
Sensual sex appeal rules you today, and you’ll be turned on by some enthusiastic but almost tough love. Your work is stimulating, too, though unpredictable as there are many options opening to you. Be careful when travelling but enjoy meeting new people and exploring new ideas.

VIRGO
The key at the moment is being as independent as you can and believing in your own self- worth. You can’t get everything you want, but by being sensitive and caring, you’ll succeed in overcoming most problems. Your femininity encourages your boyfriend’s lust!

LIBRA
Today is all about friends, friendship and being one of the beautiful people. You thrive when loved, and for you being loved also means satisfying your aggressive libido. Don’t ignore your home and family – invite friends round rather than go out.

SCORPIO
Your need for love and passion is hot today and as your beauty and sex appeal are intense, dynamic and just a tad mysterious, so you won’t be short of men in your life. But, are any of them strong enough? Let passion rule! Force change at work – everyone will win with your latest ideas.

SAGITTARIUS
Will anything or anyone hold you down today? Your energy, fire and love of life ensure you aren’t alone, and love is adventurous, fun, romantic and highly unusual. Just be spontaneous, free and go with all your latest ideas. Making money is a breeze, too, if you advertise yourself.

You are not in the mood to be told what to do as you need to be in total control or at the very least enjoy an equal partnership. Just trust that you have the power and can achieve anything and everything… Real love will come when you unfetter your feelings.

AQUARIUS
Under the guise of wild, zany independence, no-one realises that power and control are important. The trick is to use this power over yourself, made easier when you help others achieve their goals. Your lover has to be an unconventional free spirit - like you! Otherwise boredom will creep in.

PISCES
Friends and associates are still helping you up the career ladder so relax, socialise and think up ways of showing your appreciation as these relationships take on greater significance. Tune in to your emotional vibrations to attract a sensitive man who appreciates your slow, erotic sex.

ARIES
Focus your determination to pursue whatever you want – career, a home, an exciting man… No-one can make your decisions for you, so get on with it! You compete to win, and men are attracted to the challenge of taming you, then and finding the loving woman inside.

TAURUS
Just as well you have an earthy logic about you, or today you’d feel very sorry for yourself! Write down your ideas, and then show them to the people you want to influence. You easily help others with your informed mind, so use it for yourself. Flattering seduction
gets him everything.

GEMINI
You like to come across as light, airy and fun, but inside you could be consumed by money worries. It’s time to take total control of your affairs, using your talents and skills to bring you the financial independence you need. Moodier than usual, he’ll have to accept that the lighter you are, the darker the shadows…

CANCER
If you view all your friendships, lovers and other relationships as a way of gaining personal power, you could find yourself alone. Use them instead to benefit everyone as well as yourself. You radiate sexual magic as you are prepared to try anything and everything at least once, but today you feel a bit sorry for yourself.

LEO
Your attitude towards your work, responsibilities and health is stronger than ever, so take your power and do something about it! Make the appointments with your doctor and dentist for that annual check-up. You are in the mood for drama – and your poor boyfriend won’t know what’s coming next!

VIRGO
Today is all about developing your creative talents, bringing romance into your life and having as much fun as possible in your own earthy way. You can match any man at his own game through your ability to manipulate and control.

LIBRA
Today is about family ties – is it time to sort out any problems from the past so that all your relationships become stronger? Take more control of where and how you want to live, but remember that this means a more responsible approach. Is it love, or a fantastic sexual spree.

SCORPIO
You are more serious and intense than ever, wanting to control every aspect of your life. This works well in community affairs, though neighbours might think you more interfering than helpful. Love-wise, you do the demanding – let him obey your commands!

SAGITTARIUS
You need to know the difference between controlling your finances and being controlled by money. Using money to manipulate people is as bad as being manipulated by those with money and status. Be sensitive to your man’s needs as well as your own – you have all the skills!

]]> Sat, 29 Dec 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/28-december-2012 CAPRICORN
Relax and enjoy your life today – feel the love, embrace your new ideas and follow your intuition. You might lack some of your usual common-sense so ask for help from siblings, friends and colleagues but most of all follow your intuition. Love-wise, be unpredictable!

AQUARIUS
Your usual unwavering principles are wavering today – you don’t have to do anything, but just watch what goes on outside your usual comfort zone and realise there are more things to life than money. Let your intuition show you the way forward. In love, act on your feelings.

PISCES
Self-pity could overwhelm you today so you need to turn your natural energy into sensitivity to everything going on around you – relationships, friends, lovers as well as your work and career. Don’t be scared of change as you’ll find it uplifting, exciting and inspirational. Your loving touch is your gift.

ARIES
It’s time to develop your intuition so that you recognise when you put yourself in danger and avoid anything that causes too much stress in your life. Exercise will help rid your body of pent-up energy and anger when not everything goes according to plan. Only vigorous, physical sex satisfies.

TAURUS
You could be discouraged and disillusioned if you aren’t receiving the financial rewards you deserve, but your real relationships are reaching new heights of understanding and commitment. A colleague might be the source of stress – don’t let it get to you! Hard exercise will help, as will magical sex.

GEMINI
Harmony at work brings great financial rewards, but there is the danger to your reputation if you aren’t careful. At the moment you portray an image of inspirational glamour – just one of the many facets of your vivacious character. Your generous spirit inspires your guy to higher goals, too.

CANCER
Your vivid imagination is inspired as it takes your creative talents to a new dimension. You can use this in your love life as well as at home and to boost your career. Anything is possible now. The new year is arriving, so don’t limit yourself! Love is all about intuitive feelings.

LEO
Your sensitivity and intuitive understanding means you are able to help everyone who asks for assistance, but don’t let them take advantage of your kindness! This same understanding makes it easy for you to sort out your finances – just stay ahead of the game. There is something very special about your lovemaking today.

VIRGO
You are blessed with a deep earthiness which makes you friendly and tolerant today, but also means you keep everyone at a safe distance so you don’t feel swamped by their emotions. When love is real, you know you belong to each other and all inhibitions disappear.

LIBRA
Your career ambitions and work seem to be more idealistic, especially when working in a partnership or joint venture. Trust your intuition. Love-wise you need to keep in emotional control while also ensuring that you don’t lack spontaneity and spirit. It’s time to nourish each other.

SCORPIO
Following your intuition and inner knowledge is your way to keep in control of your sensual highly charged libido. You can be quite emotionally heavy so need your man to be easy-going and fun even if it does push you out of your usual comfort zone. Itchy feet? Get your travel plans started.

SAGITTARIUS
Your feelings are deeper than usual, so don’t let feelings of jealousy get the better of you. Be cautious when dealing with matters to do with property as transactions could be rife with confusion and deception. Use your intuition!

What are you today – unpredictable? Emotional? Logical? Actually, you are all of these, but with added affection, flirtation and sensitivity towards your partner’s needs. The more you follow the social rules today, the happier you’ll be - even though temped by ideas which make you question the status quo.

AQUARIUS
Although not usually sentimental, your intuition today helps you seek out those who need your help, and they benefit from your unconventional ideas. Your hard work is greatly appreciated, and you could receive a financial boost, too. Your lover has to be as true to you as he is to himself.

PISCES
When you make your lover feel special today, he’ll respond with earthy, soothing lovemaking and give you his heart. Your imagination is hot, with new ideas of how you can live together in style and luxury – but is there enough money in the piggy bank? Realism isn’t one of your strong points!

ARIES
Although always busy and committed to various causes, you actually need to feel safe and secure. This doesn’t mean you have to fall into a relationship with the nearest rich guy that comes along, though… You really do need to care and love your man for it to last. Throw yourself into your career, and love will come.

TAURUS
Although you do try to give the impression of being fun and light-hearted it’s your feminine sensitivity that’s your main strength. When you feel centred you don’t cramp your man, but
let him have his freedom. You only become possessive when unsure. Will you wield your sexual magic tonight?

GEMINI
Finance could be your concern today, so it’s time to be emotionally and financially independent. Saturn is encouraging you to knuckle down to hard work in order to earn what you need, maybe through a joint venture or love partnership where you receive material support as well as affection.

CANCER
The more creative magic you bring to your love life along with a generosity of spirit wins whoever you want. You are in the mood for a little excitement and danger, but Saturn warns not to take too many risks – but as the most adventurous lover in the zodiac, will you take notice?

LEO
Back at work? Use your creative imagination to make the days brighter and your work much easier. Give your selfless help to anyone who needs it, but not at the expense of your own health. If you over-indulged over the Festive season, you probably need to watch your diet anyway. Romance rules over friendship.

VIRGO
Meetings with colleagues and business associates should be highly beneficial and your feel empowered to make the right decisions – ones which benefit you as well as everyone else. You have your usual loyalty and hard work, but with an added dash of out-of-the-box ideas. Love is all about real feelings.

LIBRA
You want to be needed today by your family and by everyone at work – but not too much or you’ll feel swamped. Partnerships are fine, as long as you have a little space to be as flirty and feminine you like! You love with a passion which occasionally surprises even yourself.

SCORPIO
To get you through this highly emotional day you need someone around who can lift your spirits, make you have fun, and be positive and easy-going. Difficult! If not, you’ll have to let your inner compassion set your limits. Love-wise, sensual sexuality rules.

SAGITTARIUS
Your feelings are deeper than you care to admit as you want to be seen as the laughter queen, but today your sensuality and intuitive powers are stronger than usual. Try not to be too hard on yourself – your singleminded passion today is very attractive.

As Christmas Day is over, your thoughts turn towards how you can make enough money to pay for it all… It’s time to get organised, sort out bills and accounts, and then see what more you need to do. Don’t be too quick to decide – unwise decisions now could end in loss. In love, is there really perfection? Yes!

AQUARIUS
How are you going to use up all this energy? Your ideas are as zany and unpredictable as you are, so the possibilities are endless. Be careful on your computer as you could easily lose everything you’ve been working towards. Love and romance make you feel wonderful – please each other!

PISCES
Someone or something from your past could pop into your life again, and you can rely on the warm, loving support on your family if there is an uncomfortable situation. Be positive – everything works out for the best, though your emotions could be confusing at first. Does he share your need for imaginative romance?

ARIES
As your personal planet, Mars, moves into Aquarius, you become more interested in the lives of everyone in your circle. Don’t overload yourself with commitments – use your insights and wisdom to see what you should and shouldn’t be involved in. Love has an exciting lack of inhibition.

TAURUS
It’s time to promote yourself, and to call everyone’s attention to you and your ability to achieve whatever you set out to do. Think big – use Jupiter’s confidence to bring you the money you need, Saturn’s wisdom, and Mar’s energy and enthusiasm. You can’t help but win. Love is a happy mix of rough and tumble and warm sex.

GEMINI
It will be hard for you to decide on which direction to take next. As the butterfly of the zodiac, there are even more flowers opening up for you to visit, inspiring you into travelling abroad, writing, publishing and using all your creative skills. Love flourishes but boring, predictable sex is out.

CANCER
You become even more intense from today, paying closer attention to the detail and small print, especially where money is concerned. A partner’s money and jointly held assets need to be carefully scrutinized. You know how to make your sexual relationships work – get on with it!

LEO
Your energy will be inspired by your friends and colleagues, and you’ll achieve far more now when working with others than alone. Don’t let your boyfriend make you overreact – you aren’t exactly a domestic Goddess at the moment, but you have other attributes.

VIRGO
Your work takes on a wilder energy, and you thrive with new enthusiasm. You might sometimes give in to angry outbursts, but you generally feel good about yourself and are very positive about the future. Any shared resources need to be carefully checked. Love needs compromise today.

LIBRA
You aren’t in the mood for work yet – the Christmas spirit is still encouraging fun, pleasure and doing whatever you want. These feelings could carry on for another few weeks too. Romance is part of your life, and taking a few risks now just adds to the pleasure.

SCORPIO
Your energy is devoted to your home, family and old friends – and especially towards making your home as pretty and as comfortable as possible. There could be visitors, friends and family coming to stay. Love-wise, your sex life becomes more enjoyable as your relationship gets deeper.

SAGITTARIUS
There is so much going on, it’s difficult for you to know when to stop or slow down. You want to travel, get on with everything and to turn your ideas into reality. It is imperative you slow down and drive very carefully as accidents could easily happen now. At home, watch out for burns and cuts.

Christmas Day, and your focus is on making everyone happy, contented and over-fed in a bright, logical and practical way. Your sense of humour carries you through the day no matter how busy you are. Love-wise, you need spontaneity and spirited lovemaking to satisfy you today.

AQUARIUS
Vivacious and fun, your laughter sees everyone enjoying Christmas no matter what, where or how… Despite the style and excitement, today is more like a wild children’s party than a sophisticated dinner. Everyone admires and is impressed by your sense of style. Laughter rules in love.

PISCES
Nurturing and supportive of your friends and family this Christmas, you want to be surrounded and engulfed by their love. Remember your boyfriend has commitments too – don’t expect him to be there only for you. Being hurt and sulky won’t help.

ARIES
You dash round everyone, smiling, friendly and saying the right things – and hopefully leaving all the hard work to others to cook, clean and comfort. Your role is to keep everyone happy and uplifted in a carefree way with your bright, uncomplicated spirit. Your love life has to be the same – fiery!

TAURUS
If you aren’t succeeding as quickly as you’d hoped, you want your life to change for the better. Start by relishing new people, and using your earthy sense of humour and ingenuity to make things happen. Your man has to be loyal as well as give you freedom to pursue your own ideas.

GEMINI
This Christmas sees you with bags of new ideas as you ensure that everyone has as much fun as possible. Don’t give in to temper tantrums if you don’t always get your own way. This will only spoil the day – and your boyfriend will think you a spoilt child rather than a sexy, vivacious butterfly.

CANCER
Committed to your family, this Christmas will be romantic and old-fashioned with all the trappings of traditional roast turkey, pudding and presents. Everyone basks in your empathy as you make them feel loved, wanted and supported. Love-wise, are you holding on too tightly to an unrealistic dream?

LEO
Your flamboyant style really lights up Christmas today, and you come across as almost unconventional with some wild and wacky ideas. Avoid too much emotion and heaviness – you need to be the enthusiastic, sexy, energetic woman who keeps the party alive. Love is surprising.

VIRGO
You have many new ideas for keeping the party atmosphere exciting – try not to get too uptight when it gets too much or not everyone listens to you. Chat to friends who help keep you upbeat no matter how busy, overwhelmed you are. The knowledge that you’ll indulge in sultry sex later is a help, too.

LIBRA
The Ritual of Christmas is a big plus for you and you thrive as the social queen with the lavish table, the champagne, the glitter and glamour. Having friends and family over to enjoy the big occasion is your reward for all your hard work. In love, the more fun the better.

SCORPIO
Finding it hard to concentrate on a lot of people, your ideal Christmas is a morning of passionate lovemaking followed by smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, champagne and opening a few expensive presents. But if you are at a party, your vivacious spirit motivates everyone else.

SAGITTARIUS
Once you focus today, there will be no stopping you, and your friends, acquaintances and family will enjoy every minute as long as you stay the admired centre of attraction. You thrive in an atmosphere of humour and fun, and your boyfriend is never bored.

This Christmas is all about style, so show the way forward and be assertive in the nicest possible way without being pushy as generosity of spirit works wonders. Love-wise, let him know you are there during the bad times as well as all the fun times and he’ll adore you in return.

AQUARIUS
Allow yourself to show the loving, supportive feelings you usually try to deny. Plan to have as much fun as you can in your own way. Freedom is still your reason to live, even when surrounded by family and friends and a huge turkey. Transforming his sex life can only make yours better.

PISCES
Your strength today is in being the loving, supportive help and friend to everyone. You just love using your imagination to make every party a total celebration. You get on with everyone, your bright ideas and ready smile add fun to every party. In love you thrive on wild, untamed sex tonight.

ARIES
It could be an expensive Christmas, but then Aries has to be seen in the right places, giving the right parties, and doing whatever it takes in your usual impulsive, spirited way. The better you are organised, the more time you’ll have to relax and enjoy it all. Express your fantasies!

TAURUS
Sensuality rules tonight – what are you going to put in his stocking? Use all your charm to keep everyone happy while you go about setting the perfect table, decorating the largest tree, and cooking the perfect mince pies.

GEMINI
If you find you have too much to do, then you’ll just have to escape – go and visit as many people as you can, dropping in for a quick coffee or glass of champagne with a little gift. You are extremely easy to love – as long as your boyfriend enjoys laughter, wit and watching you flirt with everyone you fancy!

CANCER
Today sees you as a sensitive friend to those close to you, showing your feelings in a warm way, and offering emotional support to everyone who needs your intuitive understanding. Your man doesn’t miss out on your sensitive nurturing either – he can expect very skilful stimulation of all his senses.

LEO
This Christmas, your dramatic, magnetic spirit pervades your whole house. It’s a social time and you want to surround yourself with your friends, family and as many celebrities as you can gather. The only downer will be if there is no-one special to appreciate you enough. Love is all about feeling.

VIRGO
The more spiritual Virgos will enjoy celebrating your beliefs, while the rest of you will relish the freedom to be yourself and to express your own philosophies in a fiery, self-indulgent way. You offer abundance and sophisticated fun. Life is all about quality as you let your passion explode.

LIBRA
This Christmas is all about the good life perhaps with more romance than passion. You are always a true partner, sharing both the good and bad times in your usual feminine, intuitive way. Love is more intense and passionate than usual – try not to be too possessive?

SCORPIO
You need Christmas to be about style over substance this year. You want love and romance with someone who can break through your barrier of reserve. You’ll have to overcome any feelings of jealousy and let fun, superficial flirting to rule. He’ll enjoy it.

SAGITTARIUS
So full of energy and charisma, everyone follows your suggestions and ideas. It should be a fantastic Christmas as long as you don’t become too bossy and controlling. If you become too critical, you alienate the very people you want to impress. Love is an adventure.

]]> Mon, 24 Dec 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/23-december-2012 CAPRICORN
Use your imagination to bring the most fun into your life. Making everyone else feel very special too will help, too, but be sensitive rather than sulk if they don’t appreciate your attention. Over-indulging at an office party could spoil the whole of Christmas - watch it! Love is hotter than you let anyone know.

AQUARIUS
Usually slightly eccentric, wild and unconventional, today you have an unusually conservative approach to life. It’s almost as if you are ensuring you haven’t forgotten anything needed to make the Christmas day special. You might mutter if your boyfriend takes too much time out, but you enjoy your freedom, too.

PISCES
Friendly and light on the surface today, you could be hiding your true feelings. Your intuition is very strong, so listen to the insights. Don’t become melodramatic, even if you are between relationships. Relax, and let everyone realise what a gentle but passionate woman you are and love will happen.

ARIES
Material stability makes you feel emotionally stable, and if this is lacking you could feel out of control. Flirt and let your energetic, vivacious spirit shine through. Balance this with your sweet seductiveness and you’ll soon attract the receptive man you need.

TAURUS
Don’t worry if things are new or too exciting – it’s often good to get out of your usual routine! If it all gets too much, go on, eat that extra slice of cake or bar of chocolate if it makes you feel better. You’re probably spending far too much this Christmas – remember you’ll have to sort it out later.

GEMINI
Today sees you as more sensitive and empathic towards everyone, especially your boyfriend – but when it gets all too heavy, you just want to escape again. Love means accepting the light flirtation and romance as well as the baggage. Laughter is the best medicine.

CANCER
You’ll have to be as tolerant as you can today. Give yourself and everyone else plenty of space, especially if your friends or boyfriend are being unpredictable. Get away from one emotional situation, but don’t fall straight into another. Mutual nurturing works for you both.

LEO
Having your Christmas celebrations organised in your usual dramatic way and ensuring that everything according to plan is important, but you also need to have time to relax, enjoy yourself and flirt with all the attractive men. Be spontaneous!

VIRGO
You know exactly what is happening, and have everything organised with your usual precision, unless you are working in Pisces mode, out of control and ready for tears. Your love life is equally unbalanced – calm on the surface, sizzling on the inside!

LIBRA
There is an unusual passion about you this weekend – not necessarily for your boyfriend, but for everything you do. You won’t tolerate anything that doesn’t fit in with your plan, and for once you know exactly what you want and are single-minded in your approach! Luckily, your contagious smile keeps your man on track.

SCORPIO
Being proud and stubborn won’t suit you now – it’s time to let others into your life in a real rather than a superficial way. Someone offering excitement and a dash of danger could come into your life, but are you ready? The right man will calm all your fears.

SAGITTARIUS
You can be very clear about what help you need and what you are prepared to do, but the more ready you are to compromise, support and help, the better. Love-wise, your adventurous spirit combined with a heady sensuality today could lead to burnout – his, not yours!

]]> Sun, 23 Dec 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/22-december-2012 CAPRICORN
The Sun has now moved into your own sign, and it’s time to take pride in yourself and in your achievements, and to look at how you can achieve even more. Just do your best rather than trying to win at everything and you really will achieve. Over-indulgence will leave you with a hangover, so be careful! Love is fulfilling.

AQUARIUS
Take time out this coming month to check if this past year has fulfilled all your aspirations. If not see what needs to be changed to make your life as you want it to be. Friends are helping you enjoy your life, and you offer loyalty, excitement and passion to your boyfriend too.

PISCES
Your energy is stronger than usual, and you want more financial rewards for your hard work. This could be successful as your inspiring leadership qualities are recognised and you get the support of your colleagues. Focus on your dreams and goals – they could all be fulfilled now. In love, compassion is necessary.

ARIES
This coming month is all about your career and your reputation. Are you achieving your ambitions? You are in the public eye, so make sure you do everything necessary from wearing the right clothes to having good relationships with those of influence. Love is hot and passionate - and very impulsive.

TAURUS
As the Sun moves into Capricorn, your professional status becomes your main focus. You might decide on further study or advanced training to keep your knowledge up-to-scratch – the world is moving so fast, it’s imperative that you don’t get left behind. Your natural sensuality rules your love life.

GEMINI
You find that your financial help comes from partnerships, inheritances and even bank loans, but it is important that you become financially independent. You have the willpower - now you need to transform yourself. Take the lead in your love life; you might have to date many guys before you finally decide on Mr. Right.

CANCER
Your influence over everyone seems to grow by the day – but is it through co-operation, or through being strong and forceful? Love-wise, are you now the dominant partner, or do you allow your boyfriend to have all the say? The Sun in Capricorn says sensitive equality brings harmony and real love.

LEO
The Sun moving into Capricorn encourages you to take more pride in your organising prowess – and your colleagues will give you all the appreciation you want as you solve all their problems with ease. This is a good month to have a medical check-up and see your dentist. Sparkly fire rules your love life – enjoy!

VIRGO
Usually so committed to helping everyone else, this month sees you being self-indulgent and ready for pleasure – with hopefully bags of love and romance thrown in. Your creative talents rule everything you do at home, at work and in your relationships. Your attractive, more bubbly personality draws more men to you than you can imagine.

LIBRA
This is a great month for setting up home with your boyfriend, sharing an apartment with girlfriends or even getting your own foot on the property ladder. Your role in family affairs is stronger, too, as you assert your own needs and influence. Love is romantic, soft and very feminine.

SCORPIO
This month is all about communication – your car, computer and cell phone as well as exchanging ideas and information with colleagues. Investigate carefully before purchasing any new equipment, and make sure you have the basic skills. Drive carefully and keep your car keys safe. In love, be picky… very picky.

SAGITTARIUS
You earn a lot, but you spend it even faster. Just make sure you keep to your principles and value system! If you spend just to impress others, it will get you into real trouble. Love is all about passion combined with laughter and joy, and your luck is improving by the day. But, are you out-growing him?

]]> Sat, 22 Dec 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/21-december-2012 SAGITTARIUS
If you’ve been equating money, power and possessions with a sense of self-worth, you might have to change your ideas. It is important to keep your own set of personal values, but love seems to be encouraging you to get out of your comfort zone and grow in a different way. Love, joy and romance rule.

CAPRICORN
Do you need to spend more time co-operating with your co-workers and associates rather than going it alone? By not being so independent, you’ll be given more help and support. Oddly, your health could improve too as you feel the support and love. Your man will relax, too, with your renewed libido.

AQUARIUS
You might have to give up helping everyone impersonally and concentrate on your boyfriend. The extra love and romance will help you discover a new side of your personality as you allow your heart to rule your head. Friends and business associates will help your financial situation, too.

PISCES
It’s time to leave your comfort zone and realise that it’s fine for you to move away from traditional ideas and be as different and eccentric as you like. You must plan your own future – you don’t need anyone’s approval! The right guy will understand and support your ambitions, and life is rich with possibilities.

ARIES
Rather than go your own way all the time on a whim, you find yourself being more considerate of the laws and customs of those around you, and of being more self-disciplined and generous. You don’t have to tell anyone else what to do, either. In love, the more caring and commitment you offer, the more love you get back.

TAURUS
Your loving nature has more passion and intensity, and you know how to make his life happier, which brings new energy to your love life. You could decide to study further, but if this is purely to make money rather than expand your knowledge, it will backfire.

GEMINI
It’s time to question your motives and even move out of your comfort zone in order to overcome any limitations in your relationships. You can’t use anyone for your own ends, so work on being independent and self-reliant. It will be scary, but very rewarding as you realise the strength of true love and friendship.

CANCER
If you’ve been relying too heavily on your partner to give the support you crave, you’ll find that by giving up the emotional control you’ll actually have a healthier and more loving relationship. It will be scary at first but if you trust and respect yourself you’ll discover a new amazing you!

LEO
Rather than taking from your friends and groups, it is time to be of real service to them, even getting your hands dirty, rather than just doing things to make yourself more popular. Love-wise, your warm passion is needed, but speak up if you are tired – your health is important.

VIRGO
You may have to give up using your creative talents just for fun and being more professional. Your leadership qualities will be needed now, so use your inner wisdom and understanding to reach your true potential. Passion and love grow in the confines of your home.

LIBRA
It’s time to use your home space in a more responsible manner, perhaps using it to work, teach, write or study. It’s time to take a few risks too – a trip together with your boyfriend could cement the friendship into real love. Your usual flirtatious manner will be for him and not anyone else.

SCORPIO
You may have to stop being so intense and passionate, lighten up a little and stop trying to control everything. When you are optimistic you inspire everyone else. Try not to overspend at the moment, but look after your financial resources in a realistic way. Shared values bring real meaning to your relationships.

It’s all about style today – be creative and different rather than overly dramatic. You have a very special way of showing your love and affection by making everyone feel special. As long as you are the centre of his attention you’ll offer him a truly exciting ride.

CAPRICORN
You are full of energy today, but if the ideas you offer are not appreciated you could become sulky and hurt and even descend into tears and tantrums. You’ll have to hint loudly that you need some emotional support yourself – with romance from your man and mothering at work.

AQUARIUS
Carefree, light-hearted independence is your way today and are full of bright ideas which you put across with your usually informed mind and clever wit. Love is more difficult as it’s explosive rather than emotionally fulfilling. You need your space.

PISCES
You need to feel secure by earning enough to give you the luxuries you crave, and for your boyfriend to give you the help, compassion and support you need. Are you reaching your career goals? Your energy today is hot and steamy, so try not to run your inner kettle dry by being over-emotional.

ARIES
Today is all about you as you just rush in with almost child-like disregard for danger. Your career goes from strength to strength, but are you trampling on colleagues to reach the top? Sex is wild, energetic but very caring.

TAURUS
You feel empathy for everyone, but with your huge, fiery energy today could overwhelm the very people you want to help. Think before you act or speak – you’ll make a tremendous leader. You could be attracted to someone weak and over-sensitive., but you really need a strong, passionate lover.

GEMINI
Fiery but emotionally cool today, you just want to be with people - groups, friends, business associations and anyone who is stimulating and exciting. Your quick wit gives you all the right answers and attracts men to you. Too much passion is a turn-off today.

CANCER
Work and your career are your strengths today but you could be just a bit OTT in your need to be wanted and needed. Don’t let anyone walk all over you! Let everyone know your boundaries. Love-wise, your man has to offer a lot of warmth to keep your fire going.

LEO
Today is one of those times when you attract everyone with your fire, your warmth and your positive, powerful energy. Your imagination soars, and nothing is impossible as every challenge is met with enthusiasm. Your love-life is exciting, fun, romantic and very passionate.

VIRGO
More emotional and passionate than usual about everything you do, you expect your colleagues and associates to be as committed and determined as you are. Don’t get upset if they fail to live up to your high standards. Are you really in charge of your emotions, or does he call the shots?

LIBRA
You come across as feminine, flirtatious and charming today, but underneath there’s fiery, hot passion. Associates could be quite surprised by your outbursts. Your unexpected, tempestuous mood is either exciting for your man – or he could run away in terror!

SCORPIO
You are direct and bold, but come across in a very considerate and helpful way that hides your bubbling inner passion – until something upsets you when you react in a highly emotional way. Life with you certainly isn’t boring today, but do avoid criticism as it’s a total turn-off for him.

You could be stressed if someone isn’t delivering on their promises. You might try a more flexible approach? Not only are you more than usually emotional, but you could be unusually possessive and jealous too. Relax and give yourself, mind, body and soul…

CAPRICORN
Unusually energetic today, you achieve a lot, but perhaps you could try to co-operate and share a bit more? You could get over-emotional if thwarted. Stay practical and keep that temper under control. You are excited by a directly sexual approach – but is your guy powerful enough for you?

AQUARIUS
There is an unusual gentleness about you, and sexually you’ll be turned off by your boyfriend being crude or overtly sexual as you are offering caring, nurturing and warmth. It’s time to follow your dreams in a quiet, but inspiring way.

PISCES
Routine is out today at work as you need to be seen, to do things your way and to talk to your colleagues and groups in a progressive but friendly manner. Don’t be too quick with your opinions, though – listen as well as talking. Love-wise, romance is needed.

ARIES
Self-control and discipline are your strengths today, and you need to be with people who are equally efficient and professional. There is no time for wasters or hangers-on! Too much control doesn’t do much for your love-life, though, so relax and let your sexual magic win.

TAURUS
You want your boyfriend to be adventurous, with an energy that matches your sensuality today, but to still be empathic and loving as all your partnerships (business as well as love) could be quite stressful. Don’t be too arrogant or self-righteous! A sense of humour helps.

GEMINI
You thrive on challenge today, and if you avoid being aggressive but offer guidance and information in a loving helpful way, you’ll achieve everything and more. Love is complicated – you might not be ready for commitment, but want a powerful and transforming relationship.

CANCER
At work today you offer wisdom, loyalty and a balanced approach, and you won’t be able to handle anyone too forceful or too challenging. However, don’t try to please everyone because it just won’t work. Love-wise, you need a soul-mate rather than an aggressive macho man today.

LEO
You are a passionate drama queen with a rather fussy and critical manner, and this sends out mixed messages to everyone. When you are with practical and reliable people, you allow your imagination to soar. With the right man, you know exactly what to do.

VIRGO
More than usually moody, you’re still compassionate and caring, and your creative talents are much admired – especially by your boyfriend who will be very proud of you and treat you like royalty. This, in return, makes you relax and use your impressive sexual tricks.

LIBRA
Romantic and feminine today, you are attracted to someone who will make you feel secure, loved and very safe – and who will also bring you roses and dance with you under the moonlight. If he says all the right things too, it will be a total turn-on! At work, your communication skills are making you highly successful.

SCORPIO
It’s important that you know everything that’s going on if you want to make the money you need. If you have to spend on a new laptop or iPad, make sure it’s what you need. Love-wise, you need your man to have a real sense of humour and wit – and who adores the challenge you bring.

It’s difficult today to decide which is stronger – the Sagittarian need for freedom, or a deep emotional attachment to the security of your boyfriend, home and family. The right man will allow you both so you can have it all. Tune In to your intuition, and wait a few days before making a decision.

CAPRICORN
You’ll let your feelings and emotions rule your head today. Easily bored and restless, you’ll have to find ways of making any business routine seem like fun but as long as you are learning something new and can use your imagination it will be a successful day. Friendship rather than hot passion rules.

AQUARIUS

CANCER
You are feminine, fascinating and sensitive today, but will probably need a very large box of tissues if you are to cope with all your moods and changing emotions. Take time out to decide what is real, but don’t push your ideas on to anyone else. Sex is healing and imaginative.

LEO
If you aren’t sure exactly what or who you want, wait until your emotions stabilise before making a commitment. Listen to your intuition to help you know what he wants – does he realise what an emotional woman you are under all the drama?

Mars, Mercury and Jupiter are putting pressure on you today to solve problems quickly, and to push yourself to the limit. If you are too hasty you could lose money, and it will all end in an argument. Avoid clashing with your boyfriend – though some mischievous lovemaking will soon sort that out.

Analyse and work out the solutions to any problems yourself if you are to satisfy your personal goals – just avoid being impatient or it could all end in an accident and injury. Love-wise, today you need private space for you and your boyfriend where your creative spirit can run free.

AQUARIUS
It’s hard to decide whether to keep your ideas to yourself because you aren’t sure who you can trust or to risk sharing and exchanging information with. Whatever you decide, it’s a busy and exciting day. Your boyfriend is intrigued by your air of mystery.

PISCES
Use your business associates and friends to help you achieve your personal goals, but don’t over-do it! Career-wise today your reputation matters as you could be offered promotion or a new position which includes travel. You could even move overseas. Your special sweetness attracts a very special man.

ARIES
You are dying to travel and meet new people, but you know that your career or business needs your own vibrant input if it is to flourish. Perhaps the solution is to travel more within South Africa so you that are available when needed. Love-wise, it’s hot as long as your man gives you space, and is as independent and strong as you are.

TAURUS
Use your intuition to show you ways of making more money, but you also need research and analysis - especially if you are entering a joint venture or partnership. Try not to be intolerant of the viewpoints of others; listen and learn. Don’t be scared of intimacy. Soften your rigid rules and commit yourself!

GEMINI
You could find yourself in an argument over an inheritance or shared resources today which is a bit stressful. The answer is in give and take, and in being understanding, sensitive and honest. You’ll gain more than you’d hoped! Your sense of humour and wit make you irresistible.

CANCER
A bit of a perfectionist today, you might find that you won’t worry as much if you let colleagues help rather than trying to do too much yourself. If you are over-tired and not in the mood for sexual intimacy, you might need a vitamin boost – see your health professional.

LEO
You are driving yourself hard today doing what you want, being perhaps a little too dramatic in order to get your own way. Your input is highly beneficial to large projects, and working with associates and groups – just don’t forget the small detail. Love is warm and fun rather than intense.

VIRGO
Try to bring some of the optimism you feel at work into your home where you want peace and tranquillity. You’ll have to make sure you don’t become impatient or even jealous, especially with your boyfriend. If he gets angry you’ll get completely turned off.

LIBRA
Your sense of humour and eagerness to learn everything you can might make you restless, but enlivens your inquisitive mind. At home you show your independent streak, knowing exactly what you want. Romance at the moment is sharing a pot of paint and a brush with your boyfriend.

SCORPIO
Talk to experts about your financial situation – you need to access information, so this is a good time to update your computer and buy the latest pod, pad or phone. You could benefit from working with your partner or in a joint venture. Love is an exciting sexual adventure.

]]> Mon, 17 Dec 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/16-december-2012 SAGITTARIUS
You attract everyone to you now that Venus has moved into your own sign, and are more affectionate and warm than usual. You’d love an adventure, though. Persuade your boyfriend that you are in the mood for action and to take a few risks. Love is naughty.

CAPRICORN
Have you been over-indulging in all the wrong things so now think you are too fat, having a bad hair day or just overtired? Even your love life seems more about fantasy than reality today. Take time out to help someone else – it will re-energise you. Exotic sex is your way to relieve boredom.

AQUARIUS
You aren’t really interested in what others want as your personal happiness and aspirations are your main concern, and you expect your friends, colleagues and boyfriend to give you the support you need. Luckily your co-operative spirit helps. In love, the more unexpected, the better.

PISCES
Everyone notices you now, so make sure you look your best, and that you are co-operative and interested in everyone and everything. This is a good time to ask for a promotion and other favours – they’ll find it hard to refuse! You could be unusually cool in your love-life which will keep him on his toes.

ARIES
Full of enthusiasm and passion but also strangely restless, you need to travel and play sport to use up some of this energy. Whatever cause you take up, you’ll do with commitment and force. Just sex never seems enough for you.

TAURUS
Do you feel you are really fulfilled sexually and in all other ways with your present lover? It’s vital that you share common goals and values with your man – this will then ensure your love life is as equally creative and passionate, and close intimacy will rule.

GEMINI
You want intimate fulfilment and harmony in your love life, but does your boyfriend realise this as today you come across as light, airy and just wanting a good time? At work your ability to deal with everyone certainly works in your favour, especially sales and public relations.

CANCER
Your sensitive caring is greatly appreciated by your workmates, and could even lead to an office romance. Not everyone is trustworthy, though, so be doubly sure of who you are dealing with whether connected with business or your love life. Exhilarating sensuality rules your sex life.

LEO
Talk about chemistry! All you have to do is walk into a room and everyone feels your presence. Everything you do is creative, fun and just a little bit risky. Love-wise, romance is everywhere, from your work to social events. Real love will help you accomplish all your ambitions.

VIRGO
Your logical approach works well at the office as you easily find solutions to every problem. Your home is of concern now, too – décor, renovations, property deals and keeping your family happy. It’s a good time to invite friends home. Loyalty and practical help rather than heavy passion rule today.

LIBRA
You are in the mood for charm, laughter and a good dose of flattery. At work, use this charm and tact, together with an added dash of creativity, to make your meetings and discussions positive. Socialise with neighbours and your siblings. Love is flirtatious and fun rather than intense and passionate.

SCORPIO
You expect everyone to be as honest in their financial dealings as you are so you may have to mediate or keep the peace in an argument over money. Spend on your home, but does it have to be the most expensive item in the shop? Love-wise, you can be quite demanding.

]]> Sun, 16 Dec 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/15-december-2012 SAGITTARIUS
Nothing is holding you back today, and you are a survivor no matter what happens. Make your own decisions, but do listen to what others, especially your boyfriend, have to say too. A love affair is exciting when no-one else knows about it – but if it’s a long-term relationship, why the secrecy?

CAPRICORN
Mistrusting your emotions today, you just might go on the hunt for something expensive and luxurious to give you the emotional boost you need. Just ensure it goes up in value (like a good antique) or a designer bag which will make you feel successful. Your exotic lovemaking anchors him forever.

AQUARIUS
You need the emotional support of all your friends as well as your family today so that you know you are valued and loved. You’ll expect your boyfriend to be ready to dash off on the next adventure, following you wherever you want to go next. There is not much time for lovemaking.

PISCES
Don’t even try to hide your real feelings from your friends, your boyfriend or anyone else today. Take time out, alone if possible. Let yourself dream and fantasise – you have some wild and naughty ideas which will keep him with you, no matter what.

ARIES
There is an electric rawness about your passion and energy today – if your boyfriend is strong enough, this will excite him. Otherwise, he’ll just run away in terror! Tune in to your intuition to know when to push your ideas and when to hold back. Friends and groups enjoy
your innovative ideas.

TAURUS
Your female friends will give you the emotional support you need, and some interesting advice which you could feel is a bit OTT. Listen as it could be just what you need to re-energise yourself and go in a new direction. Your special understanding of one another lights up your love life.

GEMINI
Don’t sit back waiting for something to happen – you have innovative ideas for a trip somewhere which your boyfriend, friends and everyone in your circle will really enjoy. Love-wise, you could be a bit remote, but as long as he shares your philosophical outlook, the lack of passion today won’t matter.

CANCER
You are more intense and passionate about everything today and could start questioning death and the afterlife. You are always there for your friends and family in a loving caring way and they need to be equally sensitive about your worries. Wild, exhausting sex will satisfy.

LEO
Although your energy is extremely strong today, you come across as very needy and emotional. You are so popular, your friends and partner will give you the emotional support you need despite your changeable moods. You have to know that your guy is your best friend too.

VIRGO
You could be unusually restless today, talking of throwing up your job and moving on. This could be because you aren’t feeling at your best – is this because of a physical ailment or are you emotionally anxious? You need your man to stay calm, supportive and cool. Sex is surprisingly hot.

LIBRA
There’s not much feeling or emotion going on today – it’s all about flirting and thinking up new ideas for fun and romance. If he doesn’t bring you roses and champagne you could well skip off with someone who does. However, if your lover really does touch your soul, then passion rises.

SCORPIO
You are the essence of exotic, feminine power – intense, passionate and highly emotional. Your family and home are vital to your happiness today, but if your boyfriend is the real deal, you could give up everything to be with him.

]]> Sat, 15 Dec 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/14-december-2012 SAGITTARIUS
Your imagination will work overtime as you think up new fun ideas for the weekend, changing your plans as well as those of your friends, and taking adventurous risks in your pursuit of pleasure. Just be careful with your finances.

CAPRICORN
Ultra-restless at home, you could be ready to move at a moment’s notice if a better option turns up. If living with your family or partner, be careful as they could get upset – avoid conflict at all costs and try to control your emotions. Love-wise, try to understand your boyfriend’s point of view.

AQUARIUS
Whatever is going on in your life, the people you meet now and the information you receive are causing you to change your ideas. You are only too eager to embrace everything new and interesting. Your boyfriend has to keep you grounded. Are you ready for commitment?

PISCES
Your finances are undergoing some changes. Be ready, and know that if one way fails, you’ll make it up with another. You might find your friendships change, too, as you get to know new people with the same values and integrity as yourself. If you are bored, just move on as a new lover is waiting.

ARIES
Even more rebellious than usual, this is a great time to try out different clothes, hairstyle – or even to re-invent yourself as your need for personal freedom gets even stronger. Love-wise, you have passion and fire and expect your boyfriend to offer more of the same. Is there real feeling?

TAURUS
Someone close could well need your help because of a work or health problem, and your willingness to help now will have unexpectedly positive results. Love-wise, trusting your partner will help you decide what you really want. He probably understands your need for luxury a bit too well.

GEMINI
You could meet someone who touches your soul as well as your body. He might be unconventional, different and not your usual kind of guy. As a Gemini, being in control is your way of dealing with your changeable inner voice. Let go and just let love flow.

CANCER
Things are happening career-wise – you may not have the control you’d like, but as Uranus will no longer be retrograde the unexpected changes will ultimately be to your benefit as you’ll be able to use your inventive and imaginative ideas. Does his possessiveness really translate to love?

LEO
Unexpected opportunities for travel or further training could come up now, and these will help you in the future. It’s a stimulating time, so don’t miss out even if it feels a bit unstable. Not everything will run smoothly – it’s a lesson in patience. Mutual admiration rules your love life.

VIRGO
Your finances seem unstable, but by being resourceful, your future will be far brighter. An unexpected medical emergency or perhaps just seeing an accident on the road will make you rethink and take control of your life. Tingling passion rules.

LIBRA
You might think you want security, but Uranus moving forward suggests you might suddenly break off a relationship or enter into an exciting new one. Or perhaps you just want your individuality to be accepted by your boyfriend. He has to honour the emotional you as well as the sexy you.

SCORPIO
Everything you do seems to be unstable at the moment, but the changes that are happening now will ultimately be to your benefit as you embrace new responsibilities. A health problem can be successfully sorted through a change of lifestyle rather than drugs. Love is sultry, sexual and quite experimental.

]]> Fri, 14 Dec 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/13-december-2012 SAGITTARIUS
The New Moon is encouraging you to bring more structure into your life, to look after your money and to find interesting and unusual ways of earning more. Be inventive, think out of the box, and find people who can help you. Mischievous (even naughty) sex will satisfy.

CAPRICORN
Remember, when faced with problems, that you can do and be anything you want as you are the survivor of the zodiac, easily able to utilise all your talents and strengths. Be ready when the opportunities knock at your door. Your love life needs serious consideration today.

AQUARIUS
Today, you need your boyfriend to make you feel safe and secure. The trouble is you choose men who are like you – intellectual, interesting and independent - and then you wonder why they don’t offer the emotional support you want. You’ll have to drop hints if you want more than just great sex.

PISCES
Your intuition is so strong today that you don’t need anyone to help you understand what’s happening, so take the lead at work with colleagues and business associations. They will listen, and you could be offered promotion. Make new friends as it could lead to finding the perfect relationship.

ARIES
Promote your business today, but remember that your reputation is at stake so make sure you look the part, and that in your drive for success you don’t lose your integrity. Love-wise, even if your man has the energy and determination to be who you want, it still looks complicated. Sex is great, though.

TAURUS
You are more willing to work with others today, and to show your boyfriend just how sensual and passionate you are. Does he realise that you need the best of everything? An opportunity to gain further knowledge or advanced training could be the answer to your business needs.

GEMINI
Finances need to be looked at, especially insurances, investments and joint business accounts. Don’t do anything radical without consulting an expert first. Your sex life looks very exciting, and is highly active. You seem a bit more committed than usual, too.

CANCER
Relationships are the focus, and if you’ve been dieting and looking after your health you could attract just the right man who appreciates your beauty and caring and who will put up with your many different moods. Is he your soul mate, though?

LEO
You’ve probably been over-indulging in all the good things - socialising, late nights, rich food and the best wines. Now it’s time to see what needs to be done to get you back into tip-top form before the festive season really kicks in. Love is romantic, and far sexier than you let on.

VIRGO
If your family and property have been taking up some of your time, take time out now to socialise and meet up with friends. Bored with the gym? Try dancing – anything from sultry tango to exotic belly-dancing will work those muscles - and be a lot of fun!

LIBRA
You’ve probably been dashing around, visiting, chatting and going to meetings, but now it’s time to take time out at home, relax with family and make your living space exactly how you want it to be. In love, you won’t tolerate a man who doesn’t live up to your romantic standards.

SCORPIO
Worrying about financial matters won’t help – you need to talk to the experts. Investigate different ways of earning money, including further study if necessary. Sensuality rules your love life, and you are in search of the intense grand passion. Follow your intuition.

]]> Thu, 13 Dec 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/12-december-2012 SAGITTARIUS
You just ooze optimism today and can’t wait for the next adventure. Take care, though – there could be a bit of an awkward situation with a girlfriend if you flirt with her man. The trouble is that unless your man is also filled with fiery passion you are easily bored, and will just rush off to the next guy.

CAPRICORN
Usually so stable and solid, today sees the more adventurous, freedom-loving side of your personality. What you say might not be what you really think as you feel a bit confused. Keep your more experimental ideas for your home life. Your boyfriend will enjoy this sexy, wild side of you.

AQUARIUS
Always an independent thinker, today you are more fiery and vivacious than usual. You are up for every adventure, so don’t limit yourself – if you want to climb a mountain, do it! When it comes to lovemaking, you are ready for anything.

PISCES
You are a romantic, feminine bundle of emotion, but there’s an added strength and vitality today, so take your career prospects up a few notches. Your imagination is working overtime – focus on facts before you accuse your man of anything! Use your artistic talents to make bedroom magic.

ARIES
You are exhausting to be around, but your fire and energy sees you achieving even the wildest goals. Anything and everything is possible today, so don’t limit yourself in any way. When it comes to love, you don’t want any rules.

TAURUS
Use your foresight combined with your practical ideas to achieve everything you want. Best results come when working as part of a partnership or joint venture, so don’t insist on doing everything your way but listen and learn, too. Even your libido is excessive today.

GEMINI
You dazzle everyone with your energy, wit and sense of adventure today, but can you keep still long enough to achieve anything? You are full of ideas, and you need someone strong and steady to help you keep your feet on the ground. Love-wise, boring, predictable is out – you need adventurous fun!

CANCER
Vibrant and emotional, you can achieve a lot as you put your creative ideas to the test - use your intuitive powers to help. Your family and friends will benefit from your nurturing and healing, but don’t forget to look after yourself, too. Your unusually flirtatious manner almost guarantees wild sex.

LEO
Hot, hotter, hottest! Your usual warmth has added passion, fun and excitement. Romance is promised in return for adventurous but quite glamorous love-making. Your job benefits from your creative talents, but don’t become too opinionated when talking to colleagues and associates.

VIRGO
Your home and family benefit from your adventurous energy today, though you might overdo it and become too bossy. You could find that your love life a bit confusing, especially if your boyfriend isn’t used to this dynamic, passionate side of your personality.

LIBRA
You want to get involved in everything, and if this means travelling locally or even abroad, so much the better. Saturn warns you not to overspend, but will you listen? Love-wise, can your boyfriend handle the unexpectedly volatile you today?

SCORPIO
A difficult day for you as you are energetic and passionate, but still a bit reserved. Don’t rely on your intuition and strong opinions to increase your finances – talk to experts! If you deny (even to yourself) that you need a close loving relationship, your eager libido might miss out on a great adventure.

]]> Wed, 12 Dec 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/11-december-2012 SAGITTARIUS
You are the subject of everyone’s curiosity, and you’ll be gossiped about as your looks, clothes and appearance come under scrutiny. This pleases you, though, and you’ll bask in all the attention. Your imagination is stimulated, but not everything is as it seems. Life gets busier by the day - can he keep up?

CAPRICORN
Keep quiet about anything you hear or if someone confides in you. Whatever you do, don’t join in the gossip or it will backfire. You’ve heard of meeting a tall, dark stranger? Well, he might not be tall or dark, but you’ll probably meet someone new.

AQUARIUS
You could get very busy in any organisation you belong to and find yourself taking on more responsibility. You excel at meetings as you are able to put your ideas across with ease and clarity. Love-wise, you need an adventure and excitement rather than heavy emotion.

PISCES
Your career rises up a few notches, especially if you get involved in writing the newsletter or making a speech that impresses your bosses. You’ll get through all the paperwork and reports easily. Be careful of how much you say about yourself – don’t give away any secrets! Sex-wise, your intuitive knowledge works wonders.

ARIES
This is a great time to plan or go on a trip abroad, meet up with people from different countries and learn a new language. Advertising campaigns have good results. Your sexual life is more erotic than usual, but also more complicated as it takes up a lot of your energy, time and thoughts.

TAURUS
If you are looking for promotion or a new job, then assessing your talents and skills is important. Financial matters take up your time as you collect money owed and pay off debt. The more resourceful you are, the easier it will be. There is a magical wildness about your lovemaking tonight.

GEMINI
This is a great time to negotiate contracts, legal matters and joint ventures which will be mutually beneficial as long as you are totally clear about what is expected of you and what you want. Your bright charm is very attractive, especially as you are more sensual than usual.

CANCER
Spend time today asking questions and gathering as much information as possible. Before you start, though, get organised and clear your desk otherwise you’ll get swamped and stressed. A session at the beautician or a new hairstyle will help keep you calm. Sensitive intimacy rules tonight.

LEO
When it comes to writing or speaking projects you are more determined than ever to succeed – just ensure you have all the facts and figures at your fingertips. Everyone is attracted to you (friends as well as lovers) but you seem a bit aloof. Today you crave each other.

VIRGO
Family matters take up your time as well as property deals, moving house and buying the latest cell phone or laptop. Do keep house and car keys safe, as well as important household documents. You don’t have to be practical all the time – let your passion run free.

LIBRA
At work you’ll find your feminine charm a great asset in helping you achieve sales targets or getting everyone to listen to you in meetings and discussions. Toss around some ideas, and listen and learn. Your car may need attention, so keep it serviced. Your need more passion and depth than usual.

SCORPIO
A lot of your time is taken by financial matters – discuss with the experts rather than going it alone. Shop around, compare prices, go online and check your statements and bills. Most of all, don’t compromise your integrity. In love, you are ultra-sensitive as well as strong, passionate and possessive.

As the Moon moves into Scorpio, your intense emotions become hotter and steamier than usual. If your boyfriend doesn’t match up, there’s another guy waiting. Not that you are worried – you’re so busy trying to achieve your goals. Sex is more to re-vitalise than for enjoyment.

CAPRICORN
You need to be part of the group to achieve all your goals. Take time out today to see if there is anything that needs improving – your self-image, your fitness levels or perhaps you require further training? You can do and be anything you want. Your intense feelings might scare him a little.

AQUARIUS
A powerful woman, these next few days see hidden control as your main resource as you rid yourself of limitations and aim to be your best. You probably want to spend some time on your own, but make sure you don’t work too hard. Love must be an emotional adventure this weekend.

PISCES
Churning emotions rule as you do everything for your friends and colleagues. The good news is that you will to be rewarded for your hard work and commitment, but if it’s not enough, you have to decide whether to withdraw your help. Don’t fall for a needy guy – you give enough already.

ARIES
Are you a supportive friend or an ice-cold enemy today? You can be either, so everyone had better watch out! You know what you want, and there is no holding you back. Just try to keep your temper under control – especially if you discover your man is a lazy drifter or an under-achiever.

TAURUS
The good news is that love and passion rule your rather complex feelings. You seem more spiritual and ready to learn, especially if it means financial security. Still, you always want to be in control – it’s time give up this defensive need and let your passionate side free.

GEMINI
Follow your heart rather than your mind if you don’t want your work to become boring. It will all end in stress and even illness if you aren’t careful. You have to work to pay your debts; just know that you have all the skills and talents you need. Love is all about fulfilling your fantasies.

CANCER
Let’s hope your man doesn’t destroy your trust over the next few days or he’ll regret it. You might look sensitive - even ethereal - but you can pack a punch by just one icy glance. Take time out to fulfil your need for fun and relaxation by using your creative talents.

LEO
Your attitude towards your responsibilities at home becomes more serious, so be prepared to give of your time and energy. Your attitude towards your health also moves up a notch, and you are ready to start a health regime including more exercise. Whose fantasies will be satisfied today?

VIRGO
You’ll find it easier to chat and communicate in a fun way, especially to your neighbours and siblings. Any disagreements can be sorted without fuss. Take time out to think how you can develop your real potential. Your boyfriend might have good ideas. In love, take back your power…

LIBRA
You’re usually so feminine and romantic, but today you’re filled with passion. Does your man have the same depth of feeling or do think he is he too superficial? Avoid feeling superior! Instead, ask yourself instead what really is important to you, and ensure you haven’t compromised your values.

SCORPIO
Look at yourself in the mirror – you are a bundle of hot passion and intense feelings, but do you need to work on your image by getting a make-over or a new hairstyle? Use that deep, inner wisdom to bring you what you really want. Sex is so hot, not many men can handle you.

Your responsibilities could change as you are noticed by those of influence, so be ready for change. Your popularity rises, both in the workplace and with your friends, too, adding to your self-confidence. A new man could come into your life which is fine if single, otherwise it could complicate things! Flirting rules.

CAPRICORN
Your need to succeed dominates at the moment, and you could be offered a job which means moving away from home or being too busy to join in your usual family activities. Don’t let anyone dissuade you. Follow your heart. Choose sense over sensuality today.

AQUARIUS
Your ideas are changing rapidly today, and you could decide to move abroad. You certainly want more independence and to be free to follow your own ideas. The way you interact with everyone from siblings to neighbours becomes more radical. Love is friendly, loving and enthusiastic – but not that faithful.

PISCES
Arguments over finances could arise as you want to enjoy your money and spend what you want, but you know that if you are too extravagant you’ll end up with nothing. The same goes for your love life, and it’s time to establish your priorities without losing your integrity. Be feminine and romantic, but tough too.

ARIES
Your boyfriend might not understand your sudden need for change, freedom and rebelliousness, but will enjoy your erotic sexiness. Your social life this weekend should be fun and active, and it’ll be up to you to do all the organising of your friends and groups.

TAURUS
You could feel a bit out of sorts, not knowing exactly why - perhaps your body is telling you to slow down, eat a healthy diet, exercise and get enough sleep, especially if you’ve been overdoing the good life! A curvy figure is sexy, but not if it’s affecting your health.

GEMINI
Your friends could be surprised by the changes you making, and you want more say, expressing your own needs and doing what you want. You might join a new club, and drop old friends as you make new, more interesting ones. Even your boyfriends are dropped immediately if they aren’t lively enough.

CANCER
It’s time to move on, change your goals and start a new career, maybe from home. Be as wilful as you want – make your own decisions, and be independent. If this means moving, then do so. Love-wise, your warmth and sensuality are attracting a new man into your life.

LEO
The optimistic and positive way you enjoy your life is highly appreciated by your friends and various groups and organisations, and you know you will succeed at everything you do as long as you have the freedom to express yourself. Don’t tease or play hard-to-get – he might just give up…

VIRGO
You want greater success with your work, and are attracting the right kind of people and money to make this happen. The more independent you are, the easier it will be, but you still need to share your innovative ideas. You are so busy that you find it hard to relax and have fun – do you need to give up control with your man?

LIBRA
Feminine and charming today, you attract every man around – but, how many actually realise there is a clever, energetic as well as romantic woman inside? You’ll be attracted to the man who admires your mind as well as your sexy body.

SCORPIO
Because of all the inner wars that rage inside a passionate Scorpio woman, you could easily be attracted to a fun, bright but superficial man – but his indecisiveness and lack of depth will soon bore you. If it’s hard for you to plan, just go with the flow.

]]> Sat, 08 Dec 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/7-december-2012 SAGITTARIUS
Full of energy, today you can accomplish anything and everything. You are even more sensitive than usual, too, which will be useful if you are trying to keep your men friends as just that! You’ll thrive in business meetings, and your finances start to improve.

CAPRICORN
More than usually energetic, you’ll leave everyone behind as your mind and body are sharp and you know how to get going. Love-wise, your sensual femininity makes you a great catch, but he has to realise that you need to be romanced and cared for – and that he has to provide all the comforts.

AQUARIUS
You aren’t going to sit still today – you want freedom, adventure, movement and a whole lot of fun. Your intuition is sharp, so you’ll know when it’s necessary to hold back on your more eccentric ideas. Love-wise, your sensitivity to his needs makes him want you even more.

PISCES
Always over-emotional, you seem even more fragile than usual. Love-wise, you could come across as just too needy today, but if your boyfriend is sensitive, he’ll understand your moods – if he doesn’t, he’ll just move on. A good thing, too, as you don’t need an insensitive guy. Career-wise, things are looking good.

ARIES
You are warmer and more emotional than usual which adds to your huge sex appeal – a stunning combination! You are eager for affection and nurturing, and you could find the right man through your work. You want the best, and aren’t going to accept second-best. Just be honest.

TAURUS
Venus is influencing you even more today so you look beautiful, feminine and sensual – and you demanding the good life which has to include all the trappings of romance. Mutual nurturing is a must. At work, your organisational skills are very welcome.

GEMINI
Everyone notices when you walk into a room today as you just look extremely sensual and sexy. What you want is fun, excitement and love. Whether you are ready for commitment is another matter since you are easily bored. Tomorrow is another day, though – just enjoy the fun in your usual, energetic way.

CANCER
You want peace and tranquillity, and preferably with your favourite man in a loving, committed relationship. If he offers the fun, romance and security too, you’ll be in heaven and you offer him sensual, passionate lovemaking. Who knows if it will last?

LEO
You have fun chatting, laughing, meeting up with friends and dashing to meetings, and you attract everyone to you like a magnet. You want to get on with your work, too, and can easily enlist the help of your colleagues. Do they realise the steely determination under the charm?

VIRGO
You have the imagination, the determination and the flair – but today you need some practical financial advice from the experts if you are to realise your business dreams. Don’t be stubborn – no-one knows it all… Love-wise, your loyalty and support rubs off on to your boyfriend – but you must stay in control.

LIBRA
You’re full of affection, ease and charm today and you can persuade everyone to do exactly what you want. Just be careful – if you come across as insincere, you’ll rapidly lose friends and supporters. Keep love light, fun and sexy rather than emotional and sensual.

SCORPIO
You might come across as light and fun, but what is going on inside today? Finances could be causing you some angst, so keep your integrity even if you have to move out of your comfort zone to earn what you need. In love, you need him to provide the peace and tranquillity you crave.

]]> Fri, 07 Dec 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/6-december-2012 SAGITTARIUS
Make sure your colleagues want to be mothered and told what to do - you are in nurturing mode, but they might not appreciate it. Love-wise your fantasies, are quite vivid so you could indulge in a secret liaison in order to fulfil them. Your boyfriend won’t be happy, though, so let them stay fantasies!

CAPRICORN
Today is all about seeing the bigger picture, so travel, meet up with new interesting people and dream about how to escape the struggles of everyday life. Listen to your intuition – it will lead you in the right direction so that you won’t get angry if you have to delay your plans. Sex is a bit predictable, so fantasize!

AQUARIUS
The need for financial security is stronger than usual today, and you could criticize your partner if he doesn’t fulfil your needs. If both of you keep going, you’ll achieve it all in the end. Don’t let your passionate emotions get out of hand – use them to fulfil some of your more erotic fantasies.

PISCES
Give your partner real nurturing and care today; if he’s sensitive and caring enough, he’ll help you through the times where you feel out of control. Take control of business meetings, and be decisive – and don’t get upset if you matters at home are delayed.

ARIES
Getting organised, sorting out your diary, tidying your desk and doing the filing are all necessary today so that you feel in control and ready for action. A close working relationship could become something deeper as passion rules your love life. Be cautious, though - just enjoy the moment.

TAURUS
Love, passion and romance rule. You feel very special and he thinks so, too. There could be some good news regarding your financial situation, but it certainly doesn’t mean relaxing into extravagance as there is still some tension and conflict.

GEMINI
Animated and full of life today, you need your boyfriend to be on your wavelength. You need passion, and you’re not interested in being brought down to earth, though you don’t mind being taken care of. When it comes to making money, your decision-making abilities will be needed.

CANCER
You don’t have to think as you know instinctively what’s going on. The difference between your thoughts and those of the people around are blurred, though, so try to control your emotions and responses until you are sure. Does your boyfriend know what a little sexual witch you are? Pure magic!

LEO
Your imagination is wild, and it’s hard to know what’s real and what’s just your imagination. Saturn urges you to keep your feet on the ground, and not to over-indulge or over-dramatise everything. Your friends love your warmth and hospitality, but is there passion in your love life?

VIRGO
You are a bit too self-sacrificing today, so however avoid becoming sarcastic or over-critical if it isn’t appreciated! Even the men you don’t want in your life will be drawn to your feminine charms. You might have to be a bit blunt. Let your special man bring out your passion.

LIBRA
Are you feeling just a little bit vulnerable today? The way you cope is by being extra and frivolous so that you don’t have to show your inner feelings. You thrive in a partnership, but you don’t always want the baggage that comes with it.

SCORPIO
Friends, groups and business organisations help you feel comfortable today, especially if they add to your financial success without making you compromise your integrity. Your honest, direct ways today may not make you new friends, but everyone will listen. Love is highly sexual.

]]> Thu, 06 Dec 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/5-december-2012 SAGITTARIUS
You’ll feel safe today if everyone is admiring your achievements, and you could find yourself doing extra things for your co-workers - like bringing them a cup of coffee - in order to feel their approval. Love feels like an athletic marathon – if he is fit enough, that is…

CAPRICORN
You seem extremely picky today, and you know you are perfect in everything you do, but it’s hard for everyone else to match up! Let yourself daydream and fantasize about how you’d like your life to be. It’ll be far more raunchy and sexual than anyone would believe.

AQUARIUS
Today your nerves could be a bit on edge, so find as quiet and peaceful a place as possible where you know you won’t be disturbed. You are attracted to quite odd, eccentric men – but often they don’t have the financial security you want. You don’t have to make a decision today…

PISCES
You can’t make up your mind whether to follow your emotions or your practical ideas. You are very intuitive, but today your critical mind stops you in your tracks. You expect your man to be all things – emotional, practical and down-to-earth. A hard act to follow!

ARIES
You could easily fall for a colleague you’ve been helping, and the love affair could become sizzling hot. But will it last? You get very bored with people who depend on you… Leave your emotions outside the door in business meetings, and stick to the essentials.

TAURUS
You want to show the world just how efficient and practical you are. You are beautiful, caring, nurturing and selfless, and people find it hard to live up to you and your standards. You and your boyfriend will both need a sense of humour to see you through tonight.

GEMINI
Bright and witty, everyone loves you today. You seem more emotional than usual, with an added dash of practicality, too, so you tend to attract serious guys. But will this last, or will you be off again in a couple of days, chasing the next metaphorical flower?

CANCER
You are more dependable and logical today which is good news at work as you’ll manage all the meetings, easily deal with customers, sorting out any problems. Your ideas are imaginative, too, and you come up with innovative solutions. Does your man really understand your emotional swings?

LEO
Less dramatic than usual, you seem far more sensitive and caring than usual, and this brings out the caring and helpful attitude of your co-workers - as well as your boyfriend. Do they realise that you can be extremely difficult if crossed? Just live for the moment…

VIRGO
Healing, nurturing and caring – you seem too good to be true! Just don’t let your picky perfectionism today mar your relationships with colleagues or your lover. Go on- let yourself go, and make the earth move for him as well as for you. You are far sexier than you show.

LIBRA
Today you have a magnetic charm which attracts men to you. You don’t really want anything too emotional or deep – a quick wit is far more appealing than heavy feeling. Love is sweet rather than hot today. Meetings go well, although you might have to change your schedule.

SCORPIO
You are more than a force to be reckoned with today in discussions with associates, groups and even friends as you really know what you want. You are quite nurturing though, and offer support and help whenever needed. But can your man handle your heat today?

]]> Wed, 05 Dec 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/4-december-2012 SAGITTARIUS
Over-confidence rules today, and if you try to do too much nothing will be accomplished or finished. The problem is you aren’t prepared to listen or take advice. If you can slow down, you’ll have a really successful day. Show your man just how much you feel in a warm, emotional way. Mutual adoration rules.

CAPRICORN
A lack of discretion at work could upset your co-workers and stop you achieving everything you need to do. This in turn will make you stressed and even ill. Slow down, do what you can without over-burdening yourself. Don’t dismiss a boyfriend because he’s broke today – it’s the potential that counts!

AQUARIUS
The pursuit of pleasure might be a bit OTT today – if there is work to be done, knuckle down or you’ll just get swamped. Enlist the help of colleagues and associates if necessary. Love-wise, you could be a bit confused by your emotions. You need to give as well as take.

PISCES
If you try to do too much at work as well as sort out problems at home you’ll end up not achieving anything. Prioritise! It’s important you don’t let your emotions get the better of you otherwise the stress will make you ill. Make magic together with your boyfriend – it’ll take your mind off your worries.

ARIES
This is one of those get-up-and-go days, but even you can be overly optimistic about the end result. Slow down a bit, including when driving. Spend some time quietly gathering information online, and talk to experts before rushing ahead with new projects. You need passion, and only an alpha male will do.

TAURUS
Taking a risk with finances (yours or your partners) could leave you really broke. Slow down, ask a financial expert for advice, and generally curb any extravagances. Whatever you do, don’t exaggerate your financial status. Balance is needed in all things. Let him comfort you.

GEMINI
Your light-hearted, friendly charm will make you very popular, but if you overdo it, your boyfriend will become really jealous - even with your imaginative answers. Fidelity just isn’t one of your priorities today. Colleagues will be supportive at work, and you’ll achieve a lot.

CANCER
Health matters so it’s important you use discretion and restraint – over-indulgence in the good things today could well make you regret it tomorrow. Even a lack of romance in your life doesn’t mean you can eat four bars of chocolate. When love is good, there are no rules.

LEO
Everything you do today is for your own personal satisfaction, and you don’t really want your ideas squashed by others. The problem is you need your associates on your side. Balance is needed and you could learn something too, so be open to new ideas. In love, your man could get extremely jealous.

VIRGO
Balancing your career with your home and family could be difficult. Be realistic as well as optimistic. You are highly sensitive to what is going on, and can easily find a solution without promising more than you can achieve. Lovemaking will be more than lively to satisfy his lust.

LIBRA
You are good at gathering all the facts, but your over-confidence encourages you to come to quick (and incorrect) conclusions. Slow down, think carefully. Your business associates might have a completely different set of values – don’t compromise your integrity! In love, is there ever enough?

SCORPIO
You know you should take care of your money, but you would just love to gamble a bit… You know you shouldn’t over-indulge but then that diet can start tomorrow. The same goes for your work and exercise – don’t give into temptation! The same goes for your libido – are you in charge?

]]> Tue, 04 Dec 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/3-december-2012 SAGITTARIUS
There is enthusiasm and fire, and you really are a bit of a show off today! Heaven help anyone who doesn’t admire and appreciate everything you do. Adventure calls – it’s time to go on holiday or at least plan your next trip into the unknown. Love will be great if he can keep up with you.

CAPRICORN
Today is all about power, ambition and status. You don’t want to be behind the scenes, but to be seen, admired and noticed. Instead of letting any obstacles stand in your way, be innovative and think out of the box. If he has the financial clout, your libido will shine.

AQUARIUS
You are everyone’s friend today, but demand total devotion from your boyfriend as well as his friendship. You are full of ideas but some of these might surprise and even terrify your man so be cautious about how you express them. In love, passion rules and jealousy lurks just beneath the surface.

PISCES
Your enthusiastic attitude and offers of help will make your popularity rise and your career prospects increase. You might try to do too much; however optimistic you are, there’re only a limited number of hours in a day. The right man will support, care for and appreciate you – does he?

ARIES
Passion and fire rule, and you won’t hold back telling everyone what to do, what you want and what you think. Use as much charm as you can otherwise you’ll have opposition from the people you need. Try these tactics on your boyfriend and he’ll probably be out the door… If he stays? Ecstasy rules.

TAURUS
You live for the good life, but today could go OTT if you go all out to shop for every luxury you can’t afford. You revel in romance, but your man has to provide the champagne, orchids and diamonds to prove he loves you. Let him know you’ll help him through any hard times.

GEMINI
Always clever and witty, the Leo Moon adds fixed energy, encouraging you to carry out your bright ideas in a dynamic way. Your added charm makes everyone willing to help you, too. Love-wise, this isn’t one of your most faithful days, and you could easily be distracted by a really sexy boy.

CANCER
Under that delicate sensitive exterior lies a strong, dynamic businesswoman – and the Leo Moon adds a magnetic charm today which adds to your powerful energy. You get all your work finished easily, and see the financial benefits rolling in. In love, your caring helps him deal with your fluctuating moods.

LEO
You love to be pampered by your boyfriend, family as well as by your friends. Today, though, you glow with regal pride and expect everyone to fall at your feet - you’ll need to listen to what others have to say first! Lust rules your love life.

VIRGO
Always realistic about everything you do, today your nature is more optimistic and sunnier than usual which makes it far easier for you to achieve the success you need. Love-wise, beneath that sensitive exterior lies a passionate, emotional woman. Let him know!

LIBRA
You come across as sweet and charming, but inside there’s a strong, steely woman who is far more stubborn and determined than usual. Drama surrounds you, especially if your boyfriend doesn’t bring the romance, passion and commitment you feel you deserve.

SCORPIO
You usually hate being in the limelight, but the Leo Moon encourages drama to surround you no matter what you do. You have even more sex appeal and magnetism than usual, so you could be surrounded by would-be lovers. This could well cause jealousy from your boyfriend - as well as girlfriends.
]]> Mon, 03 Dec 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/2-december-2012 SAGITTARIUS
Jupiter is encouraging you to be in touch with friends and business associates and to meet new people as the more interaction you have, the greater your knowledge and the more you’ll prosper. Tell your partner exactly what makes you tick – he’ll love you for it!

CAPRICORN
You have far more responsibilities than usual so it’s vital that you look after your health – a good diet, regular exercise and enough sleep will help. You can expect co-operation from your friends and the special man in your life. Use your intuition in love.

AQUARIUS
Your whole life seems transformed – is this because you are in tune with your inner feelings and emotions? Luck is with you, though this doesn’t mean total extravagance. Use your imagination to make your love relationship exactly what you want it to be. You are in charge here.

PISCES
Being so sensitive means you pick up the vibes around you, though it might prove too much for you. You’ll have to be discriminating so that you don’t drown in your own feelings. Encourage your guy to keep you up-beat, but stay away from all things self-indulgent.

ARIES
Can’t you take even five minutes out of your highly busy schedule to relax? Constant action and living your life on a buzz of adrenalin can take its toll on your health. Let your man bring out the softer, more intuitive, loving you - as well as your sexual passion.

TAURUS
Extravagance and shopping till you’re dropping are sources of pleasure for you, but with many of you going through hard financial times, this isn’t a good option. Focussing on your love partner is a far better bet as he will help you handle your money, and make you feel secure and loved.

GEMINI
You might not be very interested in what anyone else has to say as today is all about doing what you want, and indulging in whatever makes you happy. The positive way forward is to focus on achieving all your personal goals. Your moods fluctuate today – does your guy understand?

CANCER
There are benefits available from the Sun opposing Jupiter, though these are not very obvious at first. It could be that a member of your family’s health improves, or you give generously to a charity or deserving person – just don’t fall into the self-pity trap. Comforting, messy love rules…

LEO
Relationships and friendships are the key, and the more you participate in groups and organisations, the more you prosper. Sitting at home and feeling sorry for yourself is just not an option. Be nurturing as well as romantic and dramatic with your love partner, and it will be a special time.

VIRGO
Focus on your long-term goals, and be confident, knowing you can achieve them all. The trick will be to plan now, not to overload your schedule and not to compromise your morals values – even if there are differences of opinion. An earthy, sexy man touches your soul.

LIBRA
The possibilities are endless, and everyone you meet up with has something to offer, from broadening your horizons to providing business opportunities. Don’t sit at home, but meet up with as many people as possible. Let your man know you’ve got a soft, nurturing side.

SCORPIO
Whatever else you do at the moment, extravagance is a total no-no. You can increase your finances, but it will take hard work, research and knowledge. Your intuition is very sharp so you’ll know when to let compassion rule. Let erotic sensuality win.

]]> Sun, 02 Dec 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/30-november-2012 SAGITTARIUS
Normally such a positive and outgoing person, today your feelings are unusually deep and you could burst into tears at any moment if someone makes a nasty comment. You have a free, wandering spirit, but need total commitment from your man. Romantic time out alone with your man will ease any tension.

CAPRICORN
Your guy finds you very exciting today as you are unpredictable, highly emotional and sensitive about everything. You threaten him that you are going to leave, but will you? You need a deep bond that can sustain your moodiness.

AQUARIUS
Less than usually independent, you’ll still try to show how different you are through your clothing and hairstyle. You want him to be different, clever and unconventional, but today you need someone committed and loyal. Don’t lose sleep over a minor problem at work – talk it through.

PISCES
You probably feel totally out of control today, so it’s necessary to focus and be as organised as you can rather than let your deep churning emotions get the better of you. Don’t jump in your car and drive away! Let your boyfriend provide gentle, loving sex.

ARIES
You probably find you can’t manipulate everything to suit you today and this makes you feel uncomfortable and out of control. Relax and go with the flow rather than being too wilful. Let your sensual magic rule your love life, and just be your naughty, natural self.

TAURUS
Let your sensual passions rule rather than feeling too sorry for yourself and wanting to run from rather than face up to your problems. You are a strong, sensitive woman, and with your ability for hard work as well as your loyalty, you’ll find your financial situation improving, too.

GEMINI
Sensual as well as vivacious today, your relationships go from strength to strength both at work and in your love life. As the day moves on you find a way to turn your dreams into solid reality – and your bank balance gets healthier, too.

CANCER
A bit unsure of which direction to take? There are many possibilities opening up to you, all utilising your creative talents. Your home life probably hasn’t been the easiest either, recently. Focus on hard work to keep your mind occupied. You need a loving, close bond more than sensual sex.

LEO
Your usually sunny personality takes on a more feeling, emotional and unpredictable side today, and you could easily be close to tears for no apparent reason. Not all men understand this, so keep the drama under control. Friends are more understanding.

VIRGO
Socialise with colleagues, business associates and friends – this isn’t a time for being alone or you’ll become depressed. Let your emotions give you the power you need to succeed at work and at home, and your man will appreciate your gentleness and loving touch.

LIBRA
You have a vision of where you want your career to take you, and now you can see the way forward to achieve financial security, too. Your love life is full of healthy passion, but your strong emotions could get the better of you. You need him to laugh you out of your moods.

SCORPIO
The intense sensitivity of the Cancer Moon could leave you in tears today, and make you eager to run away. As Saturn moves through your sign you’ll find it easier to find yourself, get a better self-image and make your own decisions. Sensual, sensitive sexuality rules and your libido is rocking.

]]> Fri, 30 Nov 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/1-december-2012 SAGITTARIUS
If you are overloaded, let some of your projects go and concentrate on the most important ones. You want to keep him to yourself, and only strenuous sex will satisfy your libido - with you in total control using some of your more innovative ideas.

CAPRICORN
All your relationships are important today including friends, colleagues or a lover. If it all gets too much take time out or you’ll get stressed. You need your love life to be comfortable rather than hectic, calm rather than combative, and romantic rather than overtly sexual.

AQUARIUS
Health matters – even if you are working today, try not to do too much. Take time out to socialise and relax with friends. Use your creative talents and novel ideas to bring the romance back into your life. It should be easy as you are more than usually sensitive and intuitive.

PISCES
Feelings and emotions swirl around you today, so keep a box of tissues handy in case of bouts of tears. These deep feelings add to your sensual appeal, and romance is everywhere. Just avoid over-indulgence. However hard, try for some self-discipline.

ARIES
Always a woman of action, there’s no stopping you today so you might be a little difficult to be around. Nothing seems to be enough, and you want to sort out the world, starting with your family, your boyfriend and then everybody else. Give love a chance.

TAURUS
Logic works today, so snap out of any moods, dry up your tears and remember just how strong, sensitive and able you are. Consider a joint venture or partnership (business or marriage) - you both seem enthusiastic and ready. Be realistic about your finances, and cut back where necessary.

GEMINI
Always playful, there is an added sensuality about you which is very appealing today, and your boyfriend can expect extra passion. You’ll still be a bit moody, though. Your man won’t be bored, but maybe a little confused as you busy yourself with too many things at once.

CANCER
If you are feeling unwell or overly emotional you need to bring love and romance back into your life. Dry any tears and let your charisma show. When you smile, the Sun really does shine. There is work to get through, so use your creative talents.

LEO
Drama rules as your emotions go OTT. Take time out alone to control these feelings, and you’ll find that your guy, family and friends will understand and be willing to help in every way they can. Smile, laugh and let your love of life shine.

VIRGO
Use today’s energy to empower you and make your home a better place, full of friends, feelings and nurturing. This probably means you need to get stuck into some physical work, but if you make it a fun part of the day, it’ll be well worth the effort. Love is karmic.

LIBRA
Your added sensitivity and nurturing qualities make you extremely popular today – just make sure you mean what you say as your flirty charm could be taken too seriously by one of your boyfriends. Spend time and money on your home and family, and enlist their help if you need it.

SCORPIO
Regarding financial matters, your psychic intuitive abilities are strong today so use them to show you what to do. It won’t hurt to investigate, talk to experts to get different points of view before deciding. There could be some surprises in your sex life – good ones!

]]> Sat, 01 Dec 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/29-november-2012 SAGITTARIUS
Try not to overreact over a financial situation – if your boyfriend is involved, get rid of the stress with very physical lovemaking before you discuss the matter. Take more responsibility, and share power in your usual optimistic, positive way so that everyone benefits.

CAPRICORN
Someone or something at work could be causing a bit of stress. Co-operation rather than confrontation will calm the situation. Your enthusiasm and self-confidence will get everyone listening and on your side, so don’t lose your sense of humour! Love-wise, you expect perfection. Let passion rule.

AQUARIUS
Spontaneity is your middle name today. Nothing will keep you down for long, even someone from your past turning up again. Colleagues and friends will all do what they can to help, and your positive outlook ensures success. Love is free, fun and just a little bit wild.

PISCES
You could start a new venture from home, or at least think about making money from your favourite hobby. It might be good to get your boyfriend involved. Romance will become more passionate and intense, as well as highly sexual. For singles, an attraction towards someone from a different culture is possible.

ARIES
Never doing anything by halves, you will be quick to pick up new information, learn, teach, and chat as you widen your circle of friends and associates. Use your sense of humour to diffuse any tension at work, and let your enthusiasm boost everyone’s spirits. Love is explosive.

TAURUS
Your finances could be given a welcome boost, though you might find that any extra cash has to be spent on mundane necessities rather than luxuries or a holiday. Don’t stress – it will all work out in the end! Romance is blossoming, and he looks like a keeper.

GEMINI
You have the self-confidence to achieve all your goals, so let this optimism rub off on to
everyone around you, especially your boyfriend. You are fun and lively, but with an added depth and intensity. Multi-tasking is your greatest asset today.

CANCER
Your inner strength and power are your major assets today. Use your intuition as you can sense what is really going on and so that your solid, traditional values won’t be compromised. Don’t think too long about your bright, creative ideas at work – just use them! Love is sensual, but what about the long-term?

LEO
A disagreement with business associates could cause you some angst at work. Rather than overreacting, take a few deep breaths and do something to expend the energy before reacting. You can sort it – just be positive and friendly. Love is more about fun than commitment.

VIRGO
You are slightly unpredictable today, and no-one knows how you are going to react next. Your creative talents are sharp, though – discuss your ideas with your colleagues so that you can develop them to their full potential. Your man finds your changes of mood quite a challenge. Compromise is necessary.

LIBRA
You seem tense and nervous, almost quivering with energy, ready to move on and to travel. You want change, and to transform your life. If domestic matters need your attention, don’t fret; just do what has to be done. Be loving, funny and sexy - your guy will love it!

SCORPIO
Passion and intensity rule your life today, especially if you have financial worries. The Gemini Moon is bringing new ideas for you to use with confidence and optimism. Talk to the experts, and investigate all the options from investments to using your creative talents. Your guy moves you – reciprocate!

The Moon is eclipsed in Gemini which will have an impact on all your relationships including your boyfriend, business associates, colleagues and friends. Situations could start to come to a head, with make-or-break scenarios unfolding. Nothing will stop you today. There is fire and passion, but is there any depth?

CAPRICORN
The lunar eclipse puts the emphasis on your health and it’s time to give up smoking, drinking excessively and to ensure that you exercise and eat a healthy diet. Boring, yes, but necessary. Your sense of humour sees you through. A work situation could be resolved – it’s time to shine!

AQUARIUS
The focus of the eclipse of the moon in Gemini is all about the social scene, having fun and enjoying loads of romance. You want to make your boyfriend happy, but do take care – it’s easier to fall pregnant now! Hidden skills could be discovered which will help your financial prospects.

PISCES
The Eclipse of the Moon in Gemini puts the focus on your home and family – perhaps you finally move, buy or sell or even start a business from home? It’s time for you to approach your career with a renewed sense of purpose. Love is a solid bond, though it’s not much of a day for lovemaking.

ARIES
The Lunar eclipse puts in the emphasis on communication – everything from your computer, cell phone to your car, so keep them in good condition and updated. You might have to spend time nursing or helping someone close. Be generous with your time. Lovemaking feels like a party it’s so much fun.

TAURUS

Any problems you’ve been facing recently can be swept away as a sudden realisation puts it all into perspective as you focus on what you really want to achieve. A love or business relationship could move to a new level – either commitment or moving on. New love moves will add fun.

LEO
The lunar eclipse today encourages you to look at your friends and decide which are working for you, and who is on your side. A work project could end or you might take on more responsibility. In love, drama rules.

VIRGO
Your career is the focus of the lunar eclipse and you could decide to move on, change direction or be offered an exciting new job. You’ll probably know exactly what it is you want to do now, and where to direct your energy. You could move home to fit in with your love life – don’t let moodiness upset anything.

LIBRA
The focus is on your wider horizons, and travel is emphasised but your plans might have to be altered. If you are studying you might decide to change to a different course or drop out altogether. Love has to be easy as emotions are out, and fun is in.

SCORPIO
Joint finances and investments need to be looked at in more detail to ensure you are getting the most out of them. You need to be everything to your man as he is everything to you – otherwise you might as well be off - even if the sex is powerful and vigorous.

Mercury is moving retrograde making you focus on the dark side. It’s take time to investigate what is going on and then use compassion and your artistic talents to bring the beauty back. Let your many friends - especially your favourite guy - keep you upbeat and let passion and adventure rule.

CAPRICORN
New, innovative ideas pop into your mind in flashes of brilliance. Write them down, share and teach others – just ensure you’ve thought them all through. Love-wise, you could meet someone new and exciting at a business meeting or through friends, and your wit sparkles today.

AQUARIUS
Be cautious when making important decisions. Think and plan very carefully, and investigate everything thoroughly. The more methodical you are, the better the decision you will make. Socially, you are spontaneous and full of laughter and fun. Love feels like an exciting fling.

PISCES
Dreams of far-off places could consume your thoughts. Gather all the information you can, but don’t keep it to yourself. Discuss with your boyfriend, friends and family and let them inspire you even more. Who knows where it will lead? Be optimistic. In love, let him worship you.

ARIES
Be passionate, but don’t become obsessive about the things that interest you. Focus your mind, but try to keep everything a bit light. Your sensuality gives out the promise of exciting sexual magic, so it’s no wonder that you are one of the most attractive dynamic women in the zodiac.

TAURUS
Mercury is in your house of relationships today, making you a bit indecisive about everything and everyone. Your artistic talents are heightened, though, so focus on these at work. Love-wise, if he is the right man, he’ll offer the love and home life you crave.

GEMINI
Always quite controlling, today you want to analyse everyone and everything in quite a critical, picky way. If you keep trying for perfection you’ll never finish anything. Try to see your life through the eyes of your boyfriend; it will make him love you even more.

CANCER
There is an unusual stubbornness about you today – once you make a decision, nothing will change your mind. If you can listen to what others say without compromising your abilities you’ll know whether to keep or give up on a work project. Go with your spontaneous emotions.

LEO
Follow your emotions rather than your mind today as your intuition is stronger than usual. Your creative talents are sharp, but avoid being over-sensitive. Crying for no reason? Just take an extra sachet of tissues… Drama surrounds you today so let him encourage your laughter.

VIRGO
Your mind is always quick, but you could start too many projects and not finish any of them. The trick is to decide on one, investigate it thoroughly and focus your energy. Mercury is not helping your love life as it’s making you too critical. Relax, laugh and make love.

LIBRA
You aren’t your usual quick, social, flirtatious self today, and it seems harder than usual to make a decision. When you do you really don’t want anyone to try to change your mind. It’s only Mercury stationing. More tradition in your love life will make you feel better.

SCORPIO
Mercury stationing in your sign could encourage you to be more assertive and even aggressive than usual. Instead of reacting immediately, think carefully and in a considerate way. You want to be more vivacious and fun, so let your boyfriend bring out these qualities. Your lust isn’t waning.

]]> Tue, 27 Nov 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/26-november-2012 SAGITTARIUS
You’re highly passionate and you want to be in control of your love relationships. You are always ready to change things in order to get what you want, but if you are too obsessive, he just might run away. Diplomacy is needed at work too if you are to finish everything you start.

CAPRICORN
Entertain and take time out for some fun, and but instead of expecting your friends to do what you want, try patience - no matter how frustrating. Your love life is more romantic than usual, but rather than getting confused, indulge yourself.

AQUARIUS
Share your innovation ideas with colleagues, and listen to what they have to say. Meetings will be exciting and you’ll all achieve a lot. Make the effort to look your best – power dressing is one way of staying in control. Romance rules, but you’ll probably feel like a night alone at home.

PISCES
You are looking at new, innovative ways of making money, both for yourself and your business. Be conservative rather than rash and investigate everything carefully. You need to share power in a responsible way now. There could be a computer breakdown or a delay in your travel plans – be warned!

ARIES
Adventure calls! Where to now? The problem is money – of course. Saturn is urging you to exercise economy and control your urge to splash out. How frustrating it all is! Your personal planet suggests you work harder, even taking on a second job, in order to have enough. But is this your style? Calm your passionate outbursts.

TAURUS
Passion rules your emotions and Saturn suggests that diplomacy, duty and economy will get you further than tears and tantrums. You are looking beautiful and sensual, and just about anything is possible for you now. Sex is equally lavish

GEMINI
More sensual and passionate than usual, you need your boyfriend to be very sensitive to your moods. You still thrive on nervous energy, but your sense of humour and quick wit help you through every situation. Keeping your office space clean and pretty with fresh flowers or a plant will help you to relax.

CANCER
The key is trust – in all your relationships whether at work, with business associates or in your love life. The question at work is how you can improve everything to make your own life easier as well as that of everyone else. Transforming your love life through mutual nurturing will help, too.

LEO
You are not only dramatic but there is also an air of magnetism about you, and you’ll soon get all the adoration you need. You want your boyfriend to be fun-loving and flirtatious, but will jealousy get the better of you? You need your home life to be peaceful, especially if you’re living with your boyfriend.

VIRGO
If you’ve set your sights on a particular man marriage might be the result as he won’t be able to stay away from your caring, nurturing and seduction techniques. You are ready to transform your life and to share a home together. Love is sensual and hot.

LIBRA
If your boyfriend doesn’t provide the romance, the fun and the illusion of love, then you’ll just move on. You nurture people when you’re happy, but if life is a bore you grow miserable. Sharing means having access to each other’s credit cards… be careful!

SCORPIO
Your two personal planets, Mars and Pluto, are in conjunction and the atmosphere is highly charged. Communication is key so exchange ideas, attend meetings and develop your computer skills. Love is not easy, but it is sizzling.

]]> Mon, 26 Nov 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/25-november-2012 SAGITTARIUS
The energy of the Taurus Moon makes you more determined than ever to succeed and overcome any struggles or restrictions – even when you insist on doing everything on your own, there’ll be someone there, ready to help. In love you want passion, power and poetry.

CAPRICORN
Today is all about traditional values, structure and stability, and group situations are where you really shine as you easily get things done. Even though you are serious and quiet rather than being flashy in any way, there is a sensual air about you that men find very attractive. You need to tell him exactly what you want.

AQUARIUS
Show that you can be solid, dependable and nurturing as well as being slightly wild and eccentric. You expect your man to be loving and a bit more predictable than usual, even if you chose him for his carefree attitude. Does he understand your changeable nature? Toss around your innovative ideas - your family will love them.

PISCES
Everything you do has an air of seductive sensuality about it today, hiding your confused feelings about your love relationship. Your boyfriend needs to be highly sensitive to your moods and to treat you with extra gentleness. Talk about your feelings rather than holding back.

ARIES
Always vivacious and strong, today you’ll also be impulsive - but once you’ve made up your mind, nothing will change it. This isn’t a day to sit back doing nothing, so plan your next move regarding joint finances and the making of money. In love, anything is possible so make the first move.

TAURUS
You are beautiful, intense and passionate about what you want from life, and nothing will keep you from your chosen path. Any man you choose will have to add to your quality of life. For you, sharing doesn’t mean halving but doubling.

GEMINI
The Taurus Moon adds strength and solidity to your usually light, bubbly personality. You expect your boyfriend to understand your occasional need to be by yourself, and you look after your health in a responsible way. Love is a winner if he has a sense of humour and wit as well as loyalty.

CANCER
As you socialise today your heightened sensitivity makes you empathise with everyone, and feel their pain. Can you cope with all these emotions? You need your man to understand, keep you light and bring some fun into your life. If he does, he could be the one…

LEO
If your family lets you down today, don’t worry as you have the strength to cope and you’ll actually thrive on the drama of it all. Control your anger, be patient and follow your heart. Your boyfriend will adore you and could offer the romance and commitment you want.

VIRGO
You always know what you want, but today you have your feet even more firmly on the ground so it will be easy for you to make the right decisions. You could find your real path to financial security in your local neighbourhood without having to travel far. Love is physical and very passionate.

LIBRA
With the Goddess of Love, Venus, shining on you even more than usual, you really will enjoy the good life today. You can see the way forward to making the money you need as you discover your true potential. Your beauty is more than skin deep, and you attract real love.

SCORPIO
You are more than capable of making your own decisions and doing things yourself, so stop worrying! You want a close love relationship, but things are not easy today as you feel unusually vulnerable. Luckily Jupiter is still adding passion and great sex to the mix.

]]> Sun, 25 Nov 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/24-november-2012 SAGITTARIUS
You believe that your latest ideas are the best, but you may have to exercise some restraint as not everyone will agree. Take time out alone to think and work out what would suit the group, not just yourself. Wearing yellow/gold will balance you today.

CAPRICORN
Calm any moodiness and agitation by wearing pearly grey and silver, and let sensuality rule rather than letting sex be aggressive. Use your powerful strengths to help everyone make their lives better. Your family unit is important today, but so are your dreams.

AQUARIUS
Spicy yellows and orange are the colours that will suit you today. You are full of energy and terrified of being bored, so it’s important you fill your day with as many projects as possible. Don’t worry if you overreact - you can talk yourself in or out of anything today. You need love… and lots of it.

PISCES
In the pink? Well it’s the colour to wear or surround yourself with so that you feel more grounded. It will help your financial situation, too, as when you feel emotionally secure and less volatile and explosive, you find it easier to earn. Love is all about give-and-take and secret passion.

ARIES
The colour red suits you, but it could make your passionate outbursts even more heated. You need to use up that powerful energy through exercise, lovemaking or getting stuck into all those jobs you’ve been putting off. Sex seems more urgent than emotional.

TAURUS
You could feel the tears welling up so you’ll have to turn these emotions into love, appreciation and support for everyone else. Only then will you receive the love you need. It’s a social weekend, but you need to help with the washing up as well as enjoying the food… Soft sea-green soothes.

GEMINI
You might find that the colour turquoise helps calm your nerves today and you could even find yourself committing yourself to a long-term relationship as long as he’s your friend as well as your lover. Will you stick with him, though? Passion rules today – but for how long?

CANCER
Today is all about control – of your power, your feelings and your mind. Wearing the colour amethyst will help calm your emotions and assist you in making the right decisions. You are a nurturer by birth, but also need to be nurtured yourself. Aim for balance. Sex will be hot as well as healing.

LEO
Mysterious dark blue, purple and mulberry are your colours today if you want to turn all that fire and energy into something worthwhile and solid. Don’t limit yourself – you can do everything. Love is hot – can you handle the heat?

VIRGO
You feel powerful, determined and caring today, with an added dash of hot passion and forceful emotions. Relationships are key as business partnerships, marriage and love all come under your spotlight. Let’s hope your man stays cool long enough to calm down your volcanic feelings.

LIBRA
All the feminine shades of pink, pale blue and green suit you today as they calm your seething inner passion. Take refuge in your home, but don’t take your volatile emotions out on your boyfriend and family. Flirting is fun – but not with anyone else’s man…

SCORPIO
Yellow, blue and green will brighten your usual dark or black clothes as your passion is even more fiery than usual. You could be quite confrontational and scare most people into their shells, but you do get things done. If you have a man worthy of your depth and passion, the whole world will move.

]]> Sat, 24 Nov 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/22-november-2012 SAGITTARIUS
You love dreaming and fantasising about your perfect man, but you might be indulging in a secret love affair. Ask yourself why it needs to be secret? Someone from your past could turn up again, but don’t let it make you feel uncomfortable.

CAPRICORN
You play a bigger role in the lives of your friends, business associates and your family, and the more you promote cooperation the more you’ll feel accepted and needed, and will benefit from increased socialising and group activities. You know what and who you want – go get him!

AQUARIUS
Don’t wait for others to notice you - flaunt your beauty, talents and charm, and dress for success. It’s time to go for a promotion or that top job. Your relationship with your mother or a mother figure should be warmer and closer than usual, too. Dress in subtle greens, blues and violets today for added serenity.

PISCES
A joint venture like a business partnership, marriage or setting up home with your boyfriend are some of the possibilities suggested by Venus moving into Scorpio, and the more adventurous, the better. Don’t limit yourself as the possibilities are endless. Tell your guy exactly what you want. Your charisma wins.

ARIES
Venus moving into Scorpio suggests some very seductive lovemaking charms. Anything black, mysterious, intense and passionate works for you. Try to avoid using sex to get your own way. At work you are fighting for the freedom to act as you want. Don’t be too impulsive – accidents could easily happen.

TAURUS
Venus, your personal planet, moves into your love house today making you even more beautiful, diplomatic and fashionable. You are devoted to your boyfriend, but jealousy and possessiveness could cause arguments. Just think about your actions and reactions - softly, softly wins.

GEMINI
It’s time to think about the everyday things that make your life easier – everything from health and fitness to beautifying and organising your work space. Relationships are also the focus, and when you get on with colleagues, your work improves. However much you love your man, don’t commit until you are really sure.

CANCER
Venus moving into Scorpio suggests you express yourself with passion and intensity and music, painting and other artistic outlets will help you relax and recharge your batteries. You might be able to turn them into a money-making project. Missing out on romance? Take every opportunity to socialise.

LEO
Venus in Scorpio says it’s time to invite friends and family over, to redecorate, renovate or even move home. Take time out to really think about what you want to do as romance and passion rule. Be cautious, and don’t rush in to anything without thought. Lovemaking is delicious.

VIRGO
Use all the charm and humour you can as your intense persuasiveness will get you everything you want. You’ll want to spend more time with your siblings and neighbours, and it’s a good time to get involved in local affairs, too. Touchy-feely love sends shivers, but if your man isn’t loyal, you’ll wander off.

LIBRA
A renewed love of money both to spend and for the security it brings encourages you to work harder than ever, easily attracting whatever you need. You have an eye for beauty and can turn a tin can into something stylish. Relationships are important, and love is almost spiritual.

SCORPIO
As Venus moves into your own sign you realise just how special you are. You seem more than usually sensitive to what others feel, your sense of humour is sharp and you are more co-operative, too. You look more beautiful – and guys are attracted to your mysterious, exciting sensuality.

]]> Thu, 22 Nov 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/23-november-2012 SAGITTARIUS
You are passionate and enthusiastic, and today is all about action. If anything or anyone stands in your way there’ll be fireworks. If you slow down just a little you’ll find you’ll accomplish far more, so take time out to have some fun, too. You’re ready to try out spontaneous experimental moves – lucky guy!

CAPRICORN
Your fighting spirit is there for everyone to see, and colleagues, business associates, family and friends will all feel your hot, dynamic energy today. Use this energy to get everything done and dusted today before you take off for the weekend. Love and sex are hot, hot and hotter still…

AQUARIUS
You are at your most independent today, and you want to be yourself, but also as outrageous and creative as possible. Take your courage, but try not to be too impulsive. Drive extra carefully and think before you speak. Your sense of humour sees you through most situations, and love is fun rather than emotional.

PISCES
The quiet, ethereal you could easily explode into steamy heat – especially if someone criticizes your partner or family. If your boyfriend lets you down, eish! Wouldn’t like to be in his shoes… If you can harness this energy at work you’ll get everything finished on time.

ARIES
Talk about hot today – in every way possible. Go for what you want, but if you step back just a little you could accomplish more than even you imagined possible. Your personal planet, Mars, is overheating so take extra care when on the road. Drink driving is a total no-no today, and all weekend.

TAURUS
You are in the mood to socialise, visit friends and be where it’s all happening. The last thing you need is to sit quietly at home. If you’re single go clubbing, visit friends and plan your next holiday. Sex-wise, the more new tricks you can learn, the better. Expect the unexpected if you’re travelling.

GEMINI
You’ll come alive when socialising with friends, having an adventure and telling everyone what to do. Everyone loves your new ideas and your passion, but don’t be upset if someone else also wants the limelight. Your love life seems more competitive than usual – even a bit of a battleground if you aren’t careful.

CANCER
This is a really good time to set up a joint venture or partnership, but do take care and don’t rush to sign anything without thought or attention to detail. Be practical, and don’t fret if there is a slight delay as this will give you breathing space. Don’t rush from one love partnership straight into another, however exciting.

LEO
If you are happy today, you’ll sparkle with fun, wit and energy, attracting everyone like moths to a flame. If something upsets you, though, there’ll be fireworks! Take extra care when working with sharp knives, a hot stove or other equipment. Romance and passion rule, and it’s totally exhilarating.

VIRGO
Although passionate about your home and family, you’ll find that you need something extra to use up all that energy – like playing competitive sports, running a marathon or climbing a mountain. Control your man through inspired and fun lovemaking.

LIBRA
Romantic, feminine and highly sexy with the ability to run your home, family and business - What more could anyone want? You know exactly how to excite and keep your boyfriend happy through your sensual tricks, too. Avoid accidents around the home as well as when driving.

SCORPIO
Stand up for what you think is right, and fight against injustice or bullying but be careful when confronting people twice your size. You’ll probably be on the move today, dashing between venues. Slow down if you want to get everything done so you don’t end up with migraine or totally stressed. Passion rules.

]]> Fri, 23 Nov 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/21-november-2012 SCORPIO
As the Sun moves into Sagittarius today you become more optimistic about your financial future, but don’t make decisions based on dreams – get your facts right! Love matters are where you should let your fantasies free. Not all men will let you down.

SAGITTARIUS
It’s time to look at your personal goals and how you can achieve them. Also, take a look at your self-image and get a new hairstyle or even a complete makeover if the budget allows. You allow your guy space, but does he give it to you, too?

CAPRICORN
The Sun moving into Sagittarius encourages you to spend more time on your own, re-charging your inner batteries and seeing how your dreams can be realised. Discuss your ideas with associates, be practical and don’t act until you have all the facts. Love is emotional, but very creative.

AQUARIUS
Now that the Sun is moving into Sagittarius you’ll find that your attitude towards everyone is changing as you start becoming more generous and enjoy socialising and finding ways to meet and make friends. Avoid becoming over-emotional if your guy doesn’t meet your high expectations.

PISCES
It’s time to take your life in the direction you want – you can achieve anything and everything, so don’t accept second best. Work towards your goals in an organised way with courage and decisiveness. Listen to your intuition, but try to keep stable and consistent. Have fun with your man; commitment can wait.

ARIES
The Sun moving into Sagittarius urges you to listen and learn from everyone else. Let your imagination run wild and your fantasies free so you become the generous, outgoing person you really are. Guys are attracted by your romantic fantasies – enjoy!

TAURUS
Joint ventures like marriage or a business partnership go well if you share the same values, principles as well as an understanding of each other’s emotions and feelings. If you’re stressed, take time out with your friends, associates and other club members. Sensuous sex keeps your man devoted.

GEMINI
The Sun moving into Sagittarius today with the Moon in Pisces makes it easy for you to express your feelings in a loving, though maybe still fairly demanding way. Luckily you can put your wit and humour to good use so that neither your boyfriend nor anyone else gets upset.

CANCER
This next month sees you more concerned with your daily rituals, routines and being as efficient as possible – just don’t become obsessive! You will want to help everyone else, though today finds you a bit over-sensitive to everything going on around you. Adventurous sex will take your mind off your troubles.

LEO
You need to be in love now that the Sun has moved into Sagittarius. If you are the centre of attention all is well in your world – but don’t use drama to get what you need. Just be your nurturing, caring self, and exercise a bit of patience and everything will fall into place.

VIRGO
Your home and domestic environment will be the focus over the next few weeks now that the Sun has moved into Sagittarius. Show your loving, compassionate nature rather than criticising those who don’t live up to your high standards. Fantasies will be fulfilled.

LIBRA
The focus is on your ideas and the flow of information as well as your car, computer and all communication equipment. Don’t over-use your charm to get your own way, but share and exchange ideas, especially within your local community. Love mustn’t be boring otherwise you’ll just move on.

]]> Wed, 21 Nov 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/20-november-2012 SCORPIO
Extremely emotional at the moment, you’ll find that spending time with friends, socialising and having some fun will help. If your boyfriend is willing to help you achieve all your dreams, then he will be the one for you. Love is smooth and sensual.

SAGITTARIUS
You want your boyfriend to love and comfort you in a deep, emotional way, but this is in contrast to your usual need for freedom to do what you want, when you want. Don’t be surprised if he doesn’t understand. Take time out at home to recharge those batteries.

CAPRICORN
You’ll accomplish anything practical quickly and easily, but if anyone gets in your way there’ll be fireworks, tantrums and tears. Business meetings won’t be easy, and you’ll have to compromise and co-operate, no matter how you feel. Patience is needed by both of you.

AQUARIUS
You’re warmer and more understanding than usual when it comes to your co-workers, and you find they are willing to share and help you achieve your vision, aspirations and financial goals. You don’t have to disclose all your dreams. Sex is erotic, but are you emotionally connected to your boyfriend?

PISCES
You have trouble hiding your feelings today, but it’s best to keep quiet if you can’t make up your mind. Luckily, your boyfriends don’t seem to mind your emotional neediness because you are so understanding and loving. If there’s a disagreement at work you’re ready to hop on the next plane out – wait!

ARIES
You hide your passion and intensity under a softer and more maternal veneer. You could find yourself daydreaming about your perfect world where that special man just whisks you away, fighting your battles for you, but keep a close eye on any shared finances.

TAURUS
Despite the unstable Pisces Moon, you easily manage your emotions and feelings, using them to achieve your goals through networking and talking to business associates and friends. Love is uppermost, though, and lovemaking must be fun or you’ll be out of the door.

GEMINI
Not only are you more feeling, but you can help everyone understand their own emotions today by using your innate sense of humour and joy. Don’t get caught up in everyone else’s sad stories as they’ll dampen your spirits. In love you can be surprisingly demanding.

CANCER
You might need the tissues today if you allow yourself to become too emotional and needy, but at least your sex life should help you escape into an ecstatic world as your imagination runs riot. Try to direct your artistic talents into your work for the best results.

LEO
Your home and family are the focus of most of your emotions, and can show in a very dramatic way so ease up a bit. You can be very demanding of your man as everything has to be your way. The good news is that your sex life is unrestrained, exciting, fast and furious.

VIRGO
One minute you are moody, the next intense, then practical and highly critical. You want to help everyone and agree to every request – do you ever say no? Love-wise, you are easily persuaded to do what your guy wants. You have your own mind, so use it.

LIBRA
Very versatile today, your talents and hard work are welcomed by your co-workers, and if this means more money, then do it! Love-wise, romance rules. You are more feminine and soft than usual, but you still have a steely determination.

]]> Tue, 20 Nov 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/19-november-2012 SCORPIO
With your positive attitude today throw yourself into whatever you want to do, and enjoy the adventure - even if it is a little risky. Be part of the team rather than doing everything alone. Your leadership skills are needed. Love is excitingly spontaneous.

SAGITTARIUS
Slow down and find simple, uncomplicated answers to any financial problems and your belief will make it happen. Don’t lose your sense of humour – it’s a huge asset when telling everyone your latest (eccentric) ideas. Is he giving you the attention you deserve?

CAPRICORN
You know that when you do what’s best for everyone involved you win, and everyone will love you so there’s no need to be judgmental. There is huge romantic energy circling you - who knows where this will lead? Let romance have an exotic feel.

AQUARIUS
Working with your colleagues is a must this week, but most of all you need to listen to what they say as good teamwork is essential. Suggest your new ideas, but don’t be dogmatic. Romance flourishes when you are best friends as well as lovers – otherwise you’ll be off…

PISCES
You don’t have to say what others want to hear – trust yourself, listen to your intuition and speak your truth. Having itchy feet means it’s time to plan on getting away, with or without your boyfriend, so that your mind, body and soul merge. Your sensual imagination is dreaming up magic.

ARIES
You realise that you need everyone in your life more than they need you, so use your energy to take on the projects and ideas of your colleagues. This, in turn, empowers them. Love-wise, do you feel totally bonded with your guy? If you do, you know he’s very special.

TAURUS
Give with total love but without expecting to receive anything in return – your help will come from unexpected sources. Try to see every situation through the others eyes, co-operate and share to create a win-win situation. Love-wise, this will produce amazingly experimental sex.

GEMINI
You need to bring order out of chaos rather than running away from problems so that you’ll feel empowered. Be passionate about your career, too, if you want to climb the corporate or career ladder – just believe and it’ll happen. Love wins if you are both happy and bright, and just a little eccentric.

CANCER
Be willing to take the lead today in everything you do – let your self-confidence shine, and be ready to take a few risks. Don’t let anyone intimidate you or feel you have to agree just so that you belong. Love is confusing – you thrive on intimacy, but feel a bit detached. Explain this to your man.

LEO
There could be some frustrating problems at home. Try showing your feelings, including any insecurities, rather than hiding them. It could lead to some very inventive love-making, especially if you are caring and loving towards your boyfriend.

VIRGO
You don’t have to be right all the time – let everyone else have their say as you listen and learn. You are usually tactful, but how open are you to new ideas and experiences? Your colleagues will love you for it, and your man could come up with some surprising new moves.

LIBRA
Trying to be reasonable and seeing everyone’s point of view is extremely frustrating for those close to you, so give loyal support to your boyfriend, family and colleagues – even if you think they are wrong! Follow your heart if you’re renovating or negotiating other property deals.

]]> Mon, 19 Nov 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/18-november-2012 SCORPIO
There is something very exotic about you today. You are dark and mysterious, but intolerant of anyone being overly emotional - including yourself! You’re full of new and eccentric ideas, and you expect everyone to agree with everything you do. Sex-wise, you’re demanding and seductive – what a ride!

SAGITTARIUS
Avoid bursting into the room, trying to create an impression. Just cool it, assess the mood and adjust your outburst accordingly. You’re full of energy, and your wild imagination takes you into unknown territory. Mischievous lovemaking is a must.

CAPRICORN
You certainly want to do the right thing by everyone in a calm and intelligent way. Even your most innovative ideas won’t upset your need for security. Sharing your feelings today could be a little difficult for you. You’ll just have to show him what you feel.

AQUARIUS
Your ideas are unique and original, and you want to share them, but only with people of substance who will understand and encourage you. You certainly aren’t interested in the ordinary and mundane. You need excitement, adventure and freedom to think for yourself. Love happens on your terms.

PISCES
You love to do things for everyone, and on a grand scale. The more people you can help, the better. Teamwork will be easier than working on your own, so don’t keep your ideas to yourself - but you do need time on your own, too. If your boyfriend appreciates you as you are, he can expect special loving.

ARIES
Full of passion and energy, you put your heart and soul into everything you do, but there is a serious side that makes you more committed to your cause than usual. Love-wise, the man you choose won’t have a chance today once you’ve made up your mind. Love is hot and getting hotter still.

TAURUS
You need to share ideas with your boyfriend if you want to accomplish something together, but the problem is that you are even more stubborn than usual, and you won’t change your mind. Know just how special you are and how special he is, and intimacy will win.

GEMINI
If you’ve been working too hard, planning or going on a holiday could raise your spirits and give you a renewed sense of humour. Meet up with friends, have some fun and an adventure today. You are very passionate about everything you do which makes your man very happy.

CANCER
Your warmth and sincerity are a great boost to your career aspirations as you make a good impression wherever you go and whatever you do. The more innovative your ideas, the better. You want a caring, sensitive man who will really enjoy your extremely wild love-making.

LEO
You seem a bit moody today, although you have lots of energy. You want everyone to accept you as you are, and you’re unprepared to change your point of view. Despite this, you want your boyfriend to bring love and romance, and will be very demanding if he doesn’t.

VIRGO
It is important that you keep to your daily routine today – getting up at the usual time, having your regular coffee or tea and ensuring that you eat a healthy breakfast. Do whatever makes you feel content and in control, and let your boyfriend help you access your innermost feelings and fantasies.

LIBRA
Flirting, fun and vivacity are your greatest assets today, so use them to get exactly what you want. Your mind is sharp and can easily change to suit the current situation. Love-wise, though, you are passionate, and as long as your man brings the champagne and roses he won’t be disappointed.

As Mars moves into Capricorn you’ll find you have more energy and passion than usual, turning your ideas into reality. Keep your car in good condition as you’ll be dashing from one
business meeting to another. In love, you know exactly who and what you want.

SAGITTARIUS
You need to direct your energy towards your business and finances. You rush around so much you probably forget to pay your bills and collect money owed to you. If necessary, you can always work overtime or take on a second job. Sexually, you have no limits.

CAPRICORN
Try not to become impatient with lesser mortals who don’t have your self-assuredness, competitive spirit or determination. It’s very hard for you to consider anyone else’s point of view at the moment, but if you want to keep your boyfriend happy, listen to what he says.

AQUARIUS
An old boyfriend could turn up again, or something you once did or didn’t do finally catches up with you, so you prefer to keep a low profile for a while. Don’t build a wall around yourself – be open to all feelings. Lovemaking needs to be fun and light with just a touch of wildness.

PISCES
If you spend too much time alone you’ll become reclusive. Rather, meet up with friends, organisations and even children who keep you upbeat and light-hearted. You could do too much, though, so keep your diary realistic. Let emotions win over self-control.

ARIES
Today is about self-promotion - forget everyone else, you are your focus! Your enthusiasm lights up everything you do and every direction you decide to take. You thrive on all the attention you receive, especially from those with influence. If he’s strong enough to handle you, there will be battles.

TAURUS
Energetic and enthusiastic, there are many different directions you can go in. You know what you want the end result to be, so you need to be logical and focussed. Stay grounded, but let your mind broaden and be open to new possibilities. Indulge his whims, and he’ll support yours.

GEMINI
Unusually passionate and intense, you need to pay close attention to the small financial details as well as the bigger picture. Look after the cents, and the rands will look after themselves. Your emotions could run away with you. Share them with your boyfriend - without losing your sense of humour.

CANCER
Feeling out of control? Let your boyfriend as well as colleagues and business associates help and inspire you as you’ll achieve far more when working together. Try not to overreact or take too many risks. You need old-fashioned romance today.

LEO
You are strong, magnetic and full of energy now that Mars has moved into Capricorn, and you could become quite aggressive in your bid to achieve the success you want. Exercise and a healthy diet are essential now. Love-wise, you need your man to share your ambitions as well as your bed.

VIRGO
You are far more ambitious than you make out, and it’s time to use your creative imagination to get you where you want to be. You can afford to take a few considered risks, both with your work and in your love life. Your guy has to be financially secure and dynamic – and not see sex as the focus.

LIBRA
Use your renewed energy to start a new business venture from home or involve yourself in property negotiations. Try not to be too intense about the financial aspect - just keep a clear head. You won’t suffer fools at the moment, so your man had better step up to the mark.

]]> Sat, 17 Nov 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/16-november-2012 SCORPIO
You may seem a bit distant today, and there’s a lot on your mind, like wanting to move on but being scared of giving up your safe job. It’s time to embrace the changes, take the risks and enjoy the adventure. You want love to be simple today - warm, sensual and connected in every way.

SAGITTARIUS
You’d love to socialise but you either aren’t feeling well enough, there aren’t any social events happening or you have to care for somebody close. It’s no good feeling sorry for yourself, so use your imagination and creative talents to make money instead.

CAPRICORN
You’d like to be more independent, but there are too many responsibilities holding you down. Life could take an unexpected turn, freeing you to do what you want. It’s scary, but it’s time to be yourself. If you feel vulnerable today, let your boyfriend supply the friendship and support.

AQUARIUS
As you are both conservative and impulsive, you find it difficult to cope with the rapid changes that are happening, but you are also exhilarated and eager for adventure. The same goes for your love life as you feel safe with your boyfriend, but are also eager to try out some new moves.

PISCES
Your finances are going through rapid changes which is scary. You may have to wait to travel abroad, so why not fill your time by learning new skills so that when the time is right, you are ready to share your talents? You need your man to bring solidity as well as great sex.

ARIES
Your personal freedom could be hampered by your love partner as well as by your work. When you accept responsibility for your own finances you’ll feel free to follow your heart. Does your man have enough passion to satisfy your libido?

TAURUS
You seem far more relaxed and clear about the way forward – and you have the stamina to make it happen. Don’t use your business or love partnership as a means to getting security. Your femininity is an art form today – indulge it!

GEMINI
If you feel that your life is spinning out of control, you need to take charge of yourself, your work, your finances and your relationships. But if you can enjoy a strong, stable love relationship instead of always wanting to be the butterfly, you’ll find real fulfilment.

CANCER
Having stable relationships is very important, especially with your family but also with your love interests. When you break down any walls you’ve erected around yourself, your relationships will become strong, family ties will be strengthened and your sexual appetite will finally be satisfied.

LEO
Is it time to leave the security of a safe home and take your life in a new direction. If you can take the plunge into the unknown you’ll widen your horizons as you learn new skills as well as meeting people from different backgrounds. You weren’t meant to lead a predictable life.

VIRGO
If a love relationship or even a business association hasn’t been working for you, now is the time to move on, either by changing the dynamics or breaking things off completely. It could be scary, but you’ll benefit in the long-run as you are a very dynamic woman. Don’t accept second best.

LIBRA
The question of money raises its head regarding a business or a love partnership, and you could suddenly decide to end the relationship in order to take a more responsible attitude towards your finances. You need a partner who offers security with real romance and love.

Mercury’s move into Scorpio encourages you to think for yourself, to network and exchange ideas, so use every resource available - the web, Facebook. Don’t become too opinionated –relax and let everyone have their say. In love, your hidden fire needs to be expressed.

SAGITTARIUS

CAPRICORN
As Mercury enters Scorpio again you’ll find it easier to ask for help from your personal network of friends and business associates, though it might be hard to talk to your boyfriend because your feel confused and over-emotional. Wait until you feel less moody. Sex is dirty, earthy and addictive.

It’s time to share your knowledge and ideas using the advice you gleaned from your business associates and colleagues with those who can help you up the corporate ladder. Make sure you dress appropriately as appearance does matter. Love-wise today, anything is possible.

PISCES
As Mercury moves back into Scorpio your need for contact with people from different cultures and countries and to travel and widen your interests is more intense. Don’t limit yourself – you can do anything and go anywhere. Are you escaping from love or running towards it?

ARIES
Enthusiastic and energetic, you speak with total passion about everything that really matters to you. Go over your financial situation to see what needs to be improved and adjusted. You have ideas, but discuss with the experts before acting on them. Does your man share your adventurous fantasy life?

TAURUS
You have unusual vision combined with a practical outlook which works well if you’re entering into a business or love partnership. A joint business venture will succeed, but get the legal contracts sorted. Love-wise, you are very open, affectionate and ultra-sexy - lucky guy!

GEMINI
Relationships are key today, and the right partner will share your need for lightness, fun and being ready to take off on an adventure. You find it hard to concentrate on all the routine matters that need your attention. Know that if you worry, you’ll find yourself totally stressed.

CANCER
Let your renewed energy overcome your mood swings, and live life to the fullest today. You should have worked on the small details. Let your creative skills take over. Sexual magic is one of your gifts – is your boyfriend worth taking a risk with?

LEO
If you’ve finished the creative planning, discussed everything with your family and partner, then renovating and decorating your home space should be a breeze. Finding a new car, laptop or tablet could be a good move too. Love is hot – very, very hot.

VIRGO
You can be a bit of a doormat sometimes, but not today! You have passion and stamina so go with the wildness in you, wherever it leads. Meetings go well, and everyone listens and applauds your ideas. Love and sex happen on your terms.

LIBRA
Your soft, sweetness today hides those claws, but if your man doesn’t satisfy all your desires, no matter how naughty, you’ll easily find someone who will. It’s important you look at your finances so check your pay-slips, pay your bills and prioritise your shopping.

The eclipse of the Sun is bringing you renewed energy and enthusiasm. Now is the time to focus on your appearance, so get your diet right and your exercise regime sorted. Your whole outlook is changing, and this could be a new beginning.

SAGITTARIUS

CAPRICORN
This could be the start of a busy time. Join a business association to make new contacts, a sports club or gym to get fit and make new friendships. Your friends and associates will help you reach your career goals and make your life more fun.

AQUARIUS
Your reputation is the focus of the Eclipse of the Sun today and will impact on your long- term goals and career. You are in the public eye, so make sure you act and look the part. Your parents are also important as their influence has shaped your future. ‘Exotic’ is the word for your love life.

PISCES
The eclipse of the Sun is focussing on travel and on your spiritual journey. You could also decide to learn new skills, study for another degree or develop your writing talents. Don’t sit back, but promote yourself. Love-wise, you need an intuitive man who shares your philosophies.

ARIES
The eclipse of the Sun is bringing up issues like investments and inheritances. It’s time to re-evaluate and see how well you are doing - and what you need to do to make your future financially secure. The focus is more on your hot, heavy sex life than on emotional love.

TAURUS
It’s time to look at your long-term love life and relationships, and you could decide to get married, move on or perhaps start up a new business partnership. You could get the help you need just when it’s necessary. Sex-wise, you need your guy to be powerful, dynamic and as sensual as you are.

GEMINI
The Solar eclipse says it’s time to get your health sorted so stop smoking, drinking excessively and get your diet and exercise plan in order by joining a gym. Get a medical check-up and visit your dentist. Then you will be able to concentrate on your work. Wild lovemaking rules.

CANCER

Your parents are highly influential during this eclipse period, as is your home. You might move, rent, buy, sell or do necessary renovations. Listen to your heightened intuition - it will let you know when to take the lead and when to take more of a backseat. In love, he has to be very strong to handle you.

VIRGO
The emphasis is on your Mercurial qualities - studying, reading, teaching and being in touch with everyone. You can be overly demanding, but easily get the job done. Keep your car and computer in good condition. Love is practical rather than passionate.

LIBRA
The solar eclipse puts the focus on romance, passion, shared principles and values as well as on your financial affairs. You want to buy the luxuries and let the necessities take care of themselves. Just ensure that you can afford this kind of lifestyle which has to be fun, romantic and not too heavy or emotional.

]]> Wed, 14 Nov 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/12-november-2012 SCORPIO
Totally emotional today, you will create drama in every area of your life. If you can stay in control and not be too impulsive you’ll have a highly successful day. Channel your intense passion into your love life, but think of his needs, too. A sizzling night is forecast.

SAGITTARIUS
Your libido today is very hot with a mixture of drama, passion and intense feeling. You absorb the emotions of everyone around you, but find it hard to know which are actually your own feelings. You probably need some time out, alone, in order to avoid power struggles.

CAPRICORN
Group activities and business meetings all add to your feeling of comfort and belonging, and help you use up all your energy in a productive way. Try not to let the opinions of others affect your moods. You know your own mind. Earthy sex suits you tonight.

AQUARIUS
Life is certainly not boring for you today, and even if there is not much going on, you’ll easily find something to make your life more fun, interesting and lively. You can see how to reach your career goals. Use your intuition to keep you on the right track. In love, you believe your way is best – but what about him?

PISCES
You are ready to give everything to your boyfriend – if he wants you to travel, you’ll drop everything to be with him, but it’s time to control these impulses and do what you want. If he is intuitive enough, he’ll understand.

ARIES
Talk about fierce! You probably won’t stop today, and you have some well-chosen words for anyone who gets in your way. Do though watch your temper, though, as this could hamper rather than help your progress. It will take a strong, vibrant man to satisfy your sexual needs tonight.

TAURUS
Complex and charming, drama surrounds you, especially at work. When you can control your tendency to manipulate others, you’ll find everyone giving more support – including the special man in your life. You’ll both enjoy taming your hot passionate libido today.

CANCER
Your natural creative talents are the highlight today – giving a welcome boost to your work day. Moodiness can be a problem so it’s vital you keep busy and that you don’t send anyone on a guilt trip. Sensuality rules your love life –just enjoy very vigorous love-making.

LEO
Everyone sits up and looks when you walk into the room as you have a strong and dramatic presence. You don’t have to control everything, but let others have their say, too. It’s hard for you today as you know exactly what you want. In love he has to be strong and sexy – it’s a challenge!

LIBRA
Passion mixes with romance, and you are truly feminine today. Your man doesn’t realise just what a little vixen you can be when your claws come out. Is making more and more money your top priority? Surely love relationships are more important?

Still very emotional, try to release the pressure without overreacting or getting angry at the slightest provocation. Your highly stimulated imagination is adding to the confusion – immerse yourself in absorbing work. In love, you enjoy being a bit naughty.

SAGITTARIUS
Your boyfriend has to be as active, passionate and as willing as you are to take risks, otherwise, you’ll be off and he’ll be left waiting for your latest blog from the top of Everest. Avoid headaches and stress, even if problems stop you achieving what you want to at work. Exercise patience.

CAPRICORN
Mixing your practical talents with passion means you can achieve everything you set out to do, and meetings go well as long as you’ve researched all the facts and figures. Remember, you’ll be in the spotlight. Does your man appreciate just how passionate and emotional you can be? Show him

AQUARIUS
Finally, your career goals are reachable faster than you’d thought possible. It seems that others like your free thinking ideas, but suddenly you want more freedom as you think you’ll make more money going it alone. Research thoroughly before you make a move. Love is hot, hotter, hottest!

PISCES
You could drown in your own emotions they are so deep today. You look gorgeous, but need to stiffen that backbone before you give everything to someone unworthy of your love. Direct your energy to business meetings, but don’t take on too much work.

ARIES
Your inner fire could make you boil over when you don’t get your own way – cool it! Your financial situation could cause an awkward emotional situation which will need tact rather than anger to resolve. Your sex life is hotter than hot tonight.

TAURUS

GEMINI
Today you are a real hottie, and the Scorpio Moon is adding sensuality to your usual bright flirtatiousness. If your boyfriend enjoys variety, he doesn’t have to look any further. It’s still important that you get your diet and exercise regime sorted.

CANCER
Just because you are a bit over-emotional doesn’t mean you have to take time out alone. Let your friends and favourite boyfriend keep your spirits up, socialise and have some fun to snap out of the moody blues. Try not to overreact at work - just relax, and take a few deep breaths.

LEO
Your family is the focus, even if there are some emotional outbursts between you. Your influence within the group is important. Use your creative ideas for making your home more beautiful, but discuss your plans first. Don’t try too hard to make your love life work; just let it happen.

VIRGO
Being practical is great, but you also need to let yourself go and let your emotions flow. Try not to be too demanding or make everyone conform to your standards of what is right or wrong. A new business venture means a lot of hard work; do you have the time?

LIBRA
Being in a partnership which is important to you also means having to share finances, and having the same values and principles. Are you up for this? Your claws will come out if someone tries any underhanded tricks on you. In love, is the chemistry hot enough?

]]> Tue, 13 Nov 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/11-november-2012 SCORPIO
Your imagination is working overtime, and your dreams and fantasies are so vivid you think they are real. Love-wise, be careful not to get taken in by that dreamy macho guy as romance could easily turn into disillusionment. You need a deep, emotional man who is prepared to commit - eventually if not now.

SAGITTARIUS
Property matters need very careful consideration, so don’t rush into buying, selling, renting or even renovating without investigating leaks and plumbing. Even inviting friends and family around requires careful thought. Love is adventurous, and you can be quite a bad girl when you want to.

CAPRICORN
Watch out for misunderstandings and mistakes when working, and make sure you are clear about what has to be done so that you avoid inaccuracy and poor judgment. Whatever happens, don’t be unpleasant. Love-wise, he’s happy as your appetite is unusually big.

AQUARIUS
You find it hard to stick to your priorities or even to your principles now that Neptune is moving retrograde. Seriously investigate new investments, and don’t be talked into any underhanded deals as not everything is as it seems. Love is fun, but there isn’t much emotion.

PISCES
Your personal planet, Neptune, moves retrograde encouraging you to feel bouts of self-pity and believe that nobody loves you. Avoid negative people and situations - you need to keep upbeat, and remember that energy follows thought. Let passion and hot sex win.

ARIES
Your intuition and instincts are strong, but are they accurate? If you are repeating mistake after mistake and choosing the wrong men, now is the time to change by concentrating on the positive potential. If he lets you down, don’t be too hard on him.

TAURUS
Co-workers, colleagues and even your friends may not be all they make out to be, and when the chips are down, everyone is out for themselves. Altruism is great, but don’t use all your energy helping everyone else – you are more important! You find it hard to stay skinny, but he loves your gorgeous roundness.

GEMINI
The slightest hint of scandal will damage your reputation, so be extra careful. Even the sassy way you walk into a room causes men to want you, but you could face jealousy from other women. Don’t listen to idle flattery, or indulge in it yourself if you want a long-term relationship.

CANCER
Neptune retrograde encourages you to chase unrealistic rainbows, like giving up your usual belief system to find a guru on a mountain, or giving all your money to save a child – which turns out to be a scam. You are warm and sensual, so stick too who you know at the moment.

LEO
Listen to your intuition, but temper it by staying alert and informed, especially when it comes to financial matters. Not everyone is honest as you, so it’s lucky that you are resourceful and able to solve most problems yourself using humour and charm. Passionate sex rules your love-life.

VIRGO
Neptune retrograde is all about expectations. Your standards might be too high for others to live up to, and others might not have a good impression about you. Your income may increase now, but probably not by as much as you’d hoped. Trust your intuition to know
if he is right for you.

LIBRA
Neptune retrograde says to stick to your principles, especially if you’re asked to do something you consider underhand or even illegal. Be careful with drugs as taking more pills than prescribed could make you really ill. Don’t let your boyfriend send you on a guilt trip if you refuse – it’s your body!

]]> Sun, 11 Nov 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/10-november-2012 SCORPIO
As usual there is a war going on inside you as emotions get the better of you, both yours and those of everyone around you. Take time out – an afternoon at a spa, some beauty treatments or a massage will all help. If your guy understands your need for a peaceful life, this could be a winner.

SAGITTARIUS
You are easily bored at the moment, so welcome anything that is exciting and innovative. Just be a little careful. Overreacting to everything could end in more than just an argument. Socially your life is fun, with love and romance in unlimited quantities.

CAPRICORN
Despite your need for success and to dominate your environment, you show the extremely feminine side of your personality today. Friends are more willing to help, business associates give you support and your boyfriend finds your sensuality very romantic.

AQUARIUS
You feel light and airy, but are also even more independent today. You might not want to be by yourself, and welcome friends dropping in, though you still need your space. Your guy finds you an extremely sexy and enthusiastic lover, but could be put off by a lack of emotion.

PISCES
Passionate about everything today, if your boyfriend isn’t fulfilling all your needs, you’ll soon tell him what you think as you are quite willing to move on. This could make him re-think his behaviour. When your relationship works, no-one is as generous as you.

ARIES
Your guy will find you exciting, loving and passionate but totally exhausting today. You have great ideas for new, wild sexual moves, but perhaps your boyfriend would like to be the innovator. Not much chance for him today as you demand the freedom to be yourself.

TAURUS
Venus-ruled, you aren’t going to let feelings of insecurity make you overreact and stressed even if your plans have to be changed. Don’t waste your time arguing; just go with the flow. You have a lot to offer your man - sensuality, commitment and a very sexy figure.

GEMINI
You ooze love and light, and romance and sensuality, but where is the feeling and emotion? You really just want a lot of fun, friends and social activities, keeping your boyfriend on a long lead so you can pull him in whenever you choose. He could get tired of being your lap-dog.

CANCER
Are you just too sensitive today? You are always highly sensual, but today your feelings are about you rather than about him, so he’d better understand your moodiness and bring the romance back into your life before the freedom-loving Libra Moon encourages you to find someone else.

LEO
Charm personified, you use flattery and humour to persuade everyone to do what you want today, especially if it means cleaning up and beautifying your environment. Your home is equally important, and it’s time to socialise and invite friends over. Love is superficial, but fun.

VIRGO
You look so delicate today, but you have a sudden boost of inner strength that will get you everything you want. Use innovative ways to earn the money you need. You have far more luck in your career goals. Use your home as your place of refuge, especially if you’ve argued with your man.

LIBRA
You can expect many men to fall at your feet, but you probably find it all very predictable and need some excitement in your lovemaking. You do need him to share your values, be friendly, good-looking and not overwhelm you with emotion. Sex is highly erotic.

]]> Sat, 10 Nov 2012 12:00 +0200 http://www.cosmopolitan.co.za//bodysoul/Horoscopes/9-november-2012 SCORPIO
You can go even further as you discard old behaviour and embrace new ideas and challenges. Accept that it won’t be easy all the time but it will be exciting and fun - if a lot of hard work. Your social life should pick up now, too. Are you being too picky in love?

SAGITTARIUS
Don’t expect life to remain the same - you are a freedom-loving Sagittarian, and able to embrace the changes in your lifestyle. It’s exciting, if not a little disturbing. You are noticed at work, making progress up the career ladder, and you could be offered a new job or a promotion. In matters of love, he’d better be fit.

CAPRICORN
It’s time to relax and stop worrying, and to stop being too rigid and afraid of being wrong. Just let friendship happen. Join groups of like-minded people, and enjoy being adventurous. Take risks in your love life, too – have some fun!

AQUARIUS
Talk about imaginative ideas. However, when you put these across to business associates, don’t be too opinionated. Try to listen and learn. You thrive on change, and a new, very romantic and passionate man could easily come into your life. This could be the answer to your dreams.

PISCES
You want all your relationships to be peaceful so you’ll just have to keep those sharp criticisms to yourself, especially at work and also with your boyfriend. Working abroad could make you more money. Don’t limit yourself - life should be an adventure.

ARIES
Love and passion thrive today, and if it’s also a work partnership than you’ll really be happy. Just remember that, for you, too much togetherness can become very boring. Discarding old patterns of behaviour can be exciting – until the next adventure calls.

TAURUS
You thrive when your life is together and you are organised and in control, but at the moment you feel as if your life is crumbling. Go with it, welcome the changes and treat them as a scary, but exciting adventure. When you love with great depth of feeling, your man thrives and becomes your ideal lover.

GEMINI
Your mind is even quicker than usual as you dash from subject to subject, giving quick opinions on everything. Love-wise, you could feel unusually shy today, and you certainly you don’t want to discuss your feelings, preferring to use logic for all your answers. This doesn’t stop you from having an exciting sex life, though.

CANCER
Toss your creative ideas around as this will be the way to move your career goals forward. There are exciting challenges for you to take, and new possibilities opening up. Don’t limit yourself. Love-wise, romance could blossom into commitment.

LEO
If you aren’t in a loving relationship at the moment, avoid becoming overly critical of everyone and everything just because you feel angry or rejected. Changes are happening for everyone, and for you it could include a lot of travel. Exciting new concepts and ideas abound.

VIRGO
Marriage or a business partnership could suddenly change your finances. Whatever you do at the moment, you won’t be able to stay totally in control. It’s exciting, different and quite scary at times. Don’t try to be perfect, but do be sensitive to your love partner’s needs.

LIBRA
Your love life seems to be moving in a new direction. Are you seeking a spirited, dynamic partnership where your financial resources are made and shared together? You could well be the backbone of the partnership, albeit in a very feminine and sexy way.

If you aren’t feeling totally well or are a bit stressed out, let your friends give you the nurturing and help you need but try not to let your emotions get the better of you. This is not the time to be shy or coy – let everyone know just how clever, innovative and talented you really are.

SAGITTARIUS
You develop inner strength and understanding of any family problems, making it easy for you to deal with anything that needs to be sorted (like a family member getting ill). Use your innovative ideas in a logical way. Your boyfriend supplies the adventure and the excitement you crave.

CAPRICORN
Your ambitions and goals are being reached now. Your business associates will help you move forward and take your talents to a wider audience, so the friendlier and more helpful you are, the quicker you will climb. He is ready to love you forever – if you let him.

AQUARIUS
Suddenly you realise just what your talents really are, and what direction gives you the fulfilment you need. Don’t let anything stop you now, no matter how unusual or even radical your decisions seem. Romance could blossom now with someone new, exciting and well- travelled.

PISCES
There is a great chance of commitment as long as you aren’t too critical and nit-picky. You certainly attract the right men into your life, but can you keep them happy? If you want to travel overseas or learn some new skills, don’t delay! The answer lies in your hands.

ARIES
Look at your talents and abilities, and think about what it is you really want to do. The time is right, and you’ll have the backing of everyone as long as you don’t scatter your ideas in too many directions. Help your boyfriend achieve his dreams, but let him do it his way, not yours.

TAURUS
Your creative talents are the way forward, but perhaps more through marriage or a business partnership than on your own. Compromise today, though as even though you show great love and caring, you can be far too critical. Erotic love-making is your style tonight.

GEMINI
Love-wise, you could feel unappreciated – but this more to do with you moods than him. Instead, target your energy towards your work and your career. Get organised so that routine work doesn’t take too long, and then express your ideas to co-workers and associates.

CANCER
Don’t hide your creative spirit - let it blossom in ways you hadn’t thought possible. Don’t limit yourself! Take off overseas if necessary or take on further studies. You have all the talent and skill necessary. If romance is what you want then show him your sensual, magical arts.

LEO
You know just how strong, loveable and supportive you really are. It’s time to use these to take you in whatever direction you choose. You don’t have to rely on anyone else to boost you. You know your strengths! Enjoy the moment with your man – in whatever way you like.

VIRGO
You suddenly know exactly what to say and how to say it, so let everyone know what and how you feel. Meetings and discussions at work become much easier. Your love life improves as you are far less self-critical and you no longer feel you have to pick at your boyfriend. In love, there is peace at last.

LIBRA
Instead of worrying about finances, you now have the opportunity to turn difficulties into strengths, face your challenges and realise your own worth. Everyone will respect and encourage you to do what you want to achieve your goals. Suddenly you know whether he is right for you.

Mercury is moving retrograde, so it’s important you take your time to make any important decisions. Once you take a stand, you’ll find it hard to change your mind. Take your courage, and be confident – but think of the consequences, too! You want a sexual feast rather than a quick fix.

SAGITTARIUS
Being assertive is fine, but avoid aggression! Your mind is quick, you pick up new ideas and you start new projects, only to abandon them just as quickly. The same goes for the men in your life - if they don’t shape up, then you’ll ship them out…

CAPRICORN
Mercury is moving retrograde so it’s time to work on your artistic talents, especially if you’re feeling depressed or down. Avoid re-playing all the times you were upset, sad or upset – you need friends around you who keep you uplifted and happy. Encourage your man to find new ways to excite you, too.

AQUARIUS
Always clever, Mercury retrograde brings you even more flashes of brilliance. What will you do with it? Teaching and writing are ways of using these innovative ideas. This is an excellent time to fight for your favourite cause, the underdog. Sex is lively, but may lack emotion.

PISCES
You love a reason to sit down and soul-search. Well, Mercury retrograde encourages just that! Try not to be negative, though - just get organised, plan and your career and work will be highly successful. Ultra-sensitive at the moment, you need your man to support and care for you.

ARIES
You can become quite consumed by your thoughts and ideas now, travelling overseas, exploring new places, having adventures and searching for that spiritual guru… Don’t limit yourself, but keep practical as well. Mutual respect is vital - otherwise one of you will stray.

TAURUS
You find the need to investigate and explore every subject and every decision that has to be made. It takes time, but will be well worth it as when you do make up your mind, whether it’s regarding your lover, your job or your home. You aren’t going to change your mind. Is he powerful enough for you?

GEMINI
You can’t seem to make any decisions about what to do as you change your mind so often. You would love to marry or have a long-term committed relationship, but you aren’t sure …When you do decide, it will be a keeper.

CANCER
You want to analyse everything today – what he said, what she meant… Try not to be over- critical while Mercury is retrograde for the next three weeks. Perfection is impossible to achieve all the time, no matter how hard you try. Just be generous.

LEO
You might be a bit over-confident and even egotistic as the Moon is in your own sign and Mercury is retrograde in your own house. You aren’t inclined to change your mind, no matter what. Love-wise your sensuality is glowing, and your single-mindedness rules.

VIRGO
Your mind is always analytical, but with Mercury retrograde you actually think in a more emotional and intuitive way. The bad news? You will be over-sensitive and even burst into tears for no real reason. Femininity is the name of the game.

LIBRA
You have many ideas and start many new projects, but will you actually finish any of them before you move on to the next? Just accept that over the next three weeks you mind could be totally scattered - and if it gets all too much, you’ll want to run away as far as possible. Love has to be fun.

SAGITTARIUS
Everyone admires your enthusiasm and energy, but you can be quite tiring to be around. Dare we say you can be just a bit too noisy? Your love of adventure and surrounding yourself with friends is infectious, but cool it, just a bit. Your guy might not want to share you.

Being practical is the way you deal with hard times. If you can, get your hands into the soil so that you reconnect to the earth. Even buying a pot of herbs for your window-sill will help.

Be honest with your family and your boyfriend. If you want time on your own, say so. Show your inner passion for what you want to do and where you want to be. This isn’t the time to be coy or shy. Set your career goals as high as possible - you’ll easily achieve them. In love, you have exciting new moves.

LIBRA
You thrive when you are the centre of attraction – with your friends, with business associates but most of all with your boyfriend. This isn’t the best day to be alone – you need to be loved, preferably in a committed relationship, where you feel safe to show him your magical tricks.

Anything is possible now – travel, learning new skills and perhaps teaching or working overseas. You are always there for your boyfriend, and today it’s your magic that keeps him fascinated.

ARIES
Romantic, sexy and unusually caring, but with added passion and fire you have it all today! You need a real man, though – one who is as fiery as you, equals your sexual passion and adores you as well. At work your radical outlook might make others nervous. Just get on and do it.

TAURUS
No matter how interested and passionate you are about your work and career, today you’d love to just be at home with your guy, mothering him and showing off your
passionate love skills. Don’t forget that you also need to get on and do what’s necessary to earn your salary.

GEMINI
Charm your co-workers with your laughter and typically clever solutions to their problems. You have both energy and ideas, and can get everyone on your side, to help make a success. Love-wise, he will adore your light-hearted lovemaking. Being faithful poses a different problem…

CANCER
Your imagination works overtime as you think up new ways of earning money, trying to decide if you should set up a business from home, move on or make even more of a success of your present job. You are quite vulnerable at the moment, and you need light romance to ease your moodiness.

LEO
Take pride in yourself, your home and in everything you do, but don’t get stressed when you aren’t quite as admired or loved as you think is your due. When you listen to others as well as yourself, everyone will give support, and your guy will love you even more.

Your intuition is sharper than ever today, and you seem to know exactly what will happen next. You may have itchy feet, and be ready to travel either on holiday or working or studying abroad for a while. Don’t let disappointment make you hard - let sensuality and nurturing rule.

SAGITTARIUS
Financially, follow your instincts - study, read, investigate all the options and then invest as wisely as possible. Tell your man what you are feeling, both the highs and lows, as aside from needing wild, flirtatious sex you also want him to be your best friend.

CAPRICORN
Socialise with friends or play a competitive sport today. Your boyfriend is happy because you seem to be far more interested in his sexual needs than you are in your own today. In return, though, you expect him to look after you, giving you the TLC you crave.

AQUARIUS
Your daily routine adds to your comfort, making you feel relaxed and ready to pitch in to do whatever has to be done. If you can, work with others rather than on your own but avoid getting too emotionally involved in everyone else’s problems. Love is always a bit unconventional, but a lot of fun.

PISCES
What do you want to do today? Get involved in anything that adds to your emotional comfort, like art or music. Being creative is a must, and will help keep you from wallowing in your overly sensitive feelings. Drama surrounds you today, so you need your man’s gentle loving as well as creative moves.

ARIES
Take refuge in your home today. You need peace and tranquillity to recharge those inner batteries, and you should let your boyfriend and family offer you emotional nourishment.

TAURUS
Knowledge is power, and Mars is encouraging you to investigate every possibility. The Moon is helping you to adapt to the changes going on around you, no matter how difficult it is. Chat to a sibling for more comfort and understanding. Mutual intimacy ensures sensual lovemaking.

Retail therapy is one way of making you feel relaxed, but remember that credit cards do have to be paid off… You are probably feeling sentimental and enjoy looking at family heirlooms, antiques or a toy from your childhood. Will your boyfriend love or hate this side of your personality? Exciting lovemaking might be necessary.

CANCER
You radiate sensitivity and charisma, but at the same time you seem ready to drown in your emotions. Your family will cope, but your boyfriend and other friends might have a hard time drying your tears. Luckily your sexual repertoire more than makes up it.

LEO
The Moon in Cancer encourages you to absorb all the feelings and emotions of the people around until you aren’t sure anymore what are yours and what belongs to others. You’ll have to detach yourself if you don’t want to get dragged in. Your man’s tender, romantic love will satisfy – and with a touch of drama thrown in, too.

VIRGO
Socialise with friends, and take part in group activities or – being one of the group is very satisfying and fulfilling, especially if you can take some sort of mothering role. Try not to be too influenced by others – except it’s your favourite guy, of course.

LIBRA
You want to be mothered, loved and nurtured today by friends, your family and of course by your mother… With your man you are the funny, flirty lover – but does he understand what a bundle of emotions you are underneath? As long as he is your soul mate, you’re happy…

You have to balance your need for a safe home and nurturing family life with the sudden desire to go on an adventure. The answer lies in taking your boyfriend or members of your family along with you. Your home needs your responsible input, and you need a strong man.

SAGITTARIUS
Highly emotional today, your moods swing and you need love and nurturing from your family, your boyfriend and your friends. Try not to become too obsessive. Face your work fears, and know that if you are responsible you are now it will pay off hugely in the future. Love is hot and steamy.

CAPRICORN
Your love life looks extremely exciting today, and he thrives on your support and appreciation. You feel that when working you’re together with your man you can have everything you want. Direct your energy towards achieving your goals with the help of friends and business associates.

AQUARIUS
You feel unusually emotional today which could be unsettling as you prefer to use your intellect in a detached way. Never mind, your career is still on track as you manage to control your emotions at work. Your guy appreciates how your unusual nurturing transforms your ever-lively sex life.

PISCES
Get out the tissues – when you feel sorry for yourself, you really wallow in self-pity. Your heart is on your sleeve, and you want everyone to love and comfort you. Luckily, most do. Your sensuality rises when the Moon is in another water sign, especially if your boyfriend is loving and gentle, too.

ARIES
More feminine and nurturing than usual, you easily mix your need for action with your soft, nurturing side. You could become frustrated by problems that are blocking your progress today – try to relax. Patience is needed. Love is sensual, fiery and passionate.

TAURUS
You must be thankful for the way you keep your feet on the ground, despite the OTT emotional Cancer Moon trying to reduce you to tears. You might have a few mood swings, but most of the time you are able to cope. Socially, your popularity is rising - enjoy! Show your boyfriend as much affection as you would like to get.

GEMINI
Ultra-sensitive, one minute you are on a high, the next a total low. Try to control your moods, especially if you’ve invited friends home. Your family is being as protective and supportive as they can be, but you have to try, too. Luckily, your guy finds your changeable moods quite exciting.

CANCER
You might think you can exist on love alone, but when you are in one of your moody episodes love seems to fly out of the window, leaving you starved. Get ready to take on extra responsibilities – your future is at stake. Your guy has to be equally sensitive to handle your emotions. Luckily he appreciates your sensuality.

LEO
Under that sunny exterior, today there is a new sensitivity that draws everyone to you. The Cancer Moon makes you even more dramatic as you cry and laugh at everything. You might have to spend time at home sorting out your house or caring for a family member. Love is tender, but exciting.

VIRGO
Despite the ultra-sensitive Cancer Moon, you are still down-to-earth - and able to use your deep feelings to empower rather than drain you. Is your boyfriend on the same wavelength? Career-wise, get the basics sorted now, learning new skills if that will help your rise up the corporate ladder.

LIBRA
Today you’d prefer to work with your man, sharing a love and business partnership rather than going it alone. But remember, you need a certain amount of freedom, but just because today you are emotionally fragile, doesn’t mean tomorrow will be the same. Start now to build the foundations for tomorrow.

As your confidence rises you find it easier to cope with feelings of jealousy or tension in your relationships. Remember, the answer lies in talking about it. Try not to overreact or get too angry. You offer great commitment, but does he need more space?

SAGITTARIUS
You demand commitment from your boyfriend, but are you prepared to give it, too? The problem for you is that when you dream up a new project, you want to do it immediately – and if he can’t come with you you’ll just go it alone, no matter how risky.

CAPRICORN
Your popularity is rising, and your co-workers are willing to help you as your optimism rubs off on to them – but if you take it too far and take too many risks, they could just rebel. You’ll need to try a little restraint. If you want to keep your boyfriend happy, this isn’t the time to keep testing the relationship.

AQUARIUS
Your sparkling wit and your free spirit take you places no-one else would dare, and you don’t mind how much you spend on your adventures. The problem comes when your boyfriend tries to stop you. Then you get really angry. Bring some romance back by thinking up some very generous moves.

PISCES
You have some quite grandiose ideas about renovating and decorating your home. If you live in your own place, fine, but if you stay with your parents or others, make sure you discuss it all or there could be fireworks. Love-wise, if he doesn’t provide what you want, move on.

ARIES
Despite your efforts at self-control, you could still quickly boil over with passion. Focus on your success and move forward with confidence, even if you’re frustrated at an important meeting because no-one understands – stay calm at all costs. You need your man to provide extra sensuality and energy.

TAURUS
There’s tension at work, but don’t get jealous of a colleague or someone taking the credit for your work. Be positive and generous - you know just how successful and hardworking you are. Overreacting will not work in your favour! Don’t let this tension upset your need for togetherness with your man.

GEMINI
You can have everything today, so go for it! Extravagant gestures won’t make you more popular or impress anyone, but playing a more prominent role in helping others will. Over-indulgence might harm your figure, but could calm your nerves if your sexual needs aren’t satisfied.

CANCER
Try not to feel sorry for yourself today. You might prefer to spend more time alone this evening, but do the things you enjoy and have a girly pampering session so that you know you look fabulous. Gather your strength and be ready to take your power. You’ve got a lot of tricks up your sexual sleeve – use them!

LEO
Your whole life seems to be on a roll, and you’ve finished everything before others have even started. Your flamboyant energy lifts the lives of your friends and business organisations, and helps you succeed as long as you don’t overwhelm everyone. Flirty, fun sex wins.

VIRGO
You know your strengths and you are reaching your career goals so you can afford to be generous with your support of your co-workers. Be creative in managing your finances, but don’t let money become an obsession. Don’t be too fickle in your love life – your guy could wander off, too.

LIBRA
You feel you could succeed in all areas of your life, and more. There are so many opportunities opening up to you that you have to be very choosy. You are in the mood to travel, study and take on the whole world - don’t limit yourself! You are always caring, but today you need freedom to think.

Worrying about money isn’t going to help, and nor will getting angry. Luckily you have some new ideas, so focus on these and you’ll be able to solve your problems. Just get all the practical details in place before you rush into anything… Love-wise, you know who you want – don’t accept second-best.

SAGITTARIUS
Don’t get stressed if your boyfriend is putting you under emotional pressure to tell him how you feel - show him, instead, through your special touchy-feely lovemaking. You do have some imaginative, quite unconventional moves. It’s worthwhile to discuss your new ideas with business associates today.

CAPRICORN
Use the experience you’ve gained from past mistakes to help co-workers. Your generous nurturing will be appreciated! This won’t stop you getting frustrated by problems, but use it as a test of your self-control. Today you want freedom as you are ready to travel and feel the wind in your hair – but he has to be faithful!

AQUARIUS
You seem happy today, chatting to colleagues about your latest creative ideas, but in a practical way. Be prepared to take these ideas one step further, and maybe in a different direction. Life is very exciting. Your vivaciousness also enlivens your romantic life, and you are quite the free spirit.

PISCES
Take every opportunity to show what you can do. Advertising and marketing programmes at work are successful, so socialise and establish good relationships with foreign associates and your career will go up a notch. You need people around who inspire you. Passion rules your love life.

ARIES
You aren’t going to just sit there, waiting – it’s time for action! You have the passion, and certainly the commitment today. Your ideas are exciting and will not only broaden your outlook, but that of everyone around you from co-workers to your love partner.

TAURUS
Direct your energy into your finances, and be prepared to take a different direction as the way forward may not be what you’ve always thought it was. Accept the instability for the moment, and then decide if it’s worth the risk. Talk to friends and your boyfriend – what do they say?

GEMINI
You probably want a stable love relationship, and it’s time for you to think more about your boyfriend than about yourself. There is love, romance and deep feelings, but are you prepared to settle down, stop flirting but let real intimacy in?

CANCER
You show your sensual feelings and commitment, but does your guy realise that if he doesn’t reciprocate, you’ll be off? Relationships cannot be one-sided as there has to be a balance. Work-wise, rather than being too competitive, let your enthusiasm inspire your colleagues into a joint effort.

LEO
Invite people home for dinner, a drink or coffee as you need your friends about you, to share your love of life in your usually flamboyant way. Love-wise, romance rules as long as it is light, flirtatious and fun. Meetings with business associates go well, and contribute to your success at work.

VIRGO
Be as practical as possible, and get all your facts and figures organised before you go into any business meeting. Also, be friendly and open rather than sarcastic if anyone disagrees with you. Family dinners and get-togethers are enjoyable and nurturing, especially if your boyfriend comes too.

LIBRA
Highly feminine, very vivacious and extremely flirtatious today, it’s important that your boyfriend shares the same values as you. He also needs to realise that you love the romance of courtship. Expect a busy day - there are many things that need to be finished, including meetings and errands, but you can easily get through them all.

Although you respond to everything quickly, you come across as considerate and sensitive to what is happening. Your vivaciousness and sense of fun makes you everyone’s friend today, despite an underlying need for power. Love is easier when you are alone.

SAGITTARIUS
Your need for many relationships is evident today as enthusiasm rules every area of your life - you laugh, chat and tell everyone what they should do. Don’t expect them all to agree, though! Something happening at home can bring disappointment or loss. Sort it out quickly! Unrestrained action rules your love life.

CAPRICORN
All work and no play? Coupled with your bright, but practical logic, your co-workers and associates are all happy to pitch in and help you today so you’ll achieve a lot. Love-wise, you are in the mood for trying new and sexy tricks.

AQUARIUS
You want space to be yourself whether at work, at meetings or socialising with friends. Spontaneity rules today as not even you know what you are going to do or say next. Lovemaking has to be fun or you’ll just move on.

PISCES
Even if you’re in a committed relationship, you still want to check out all the candy in the store…Your imagination is working overtime, and not much of it is reality so you feel a bit confused. If your guy inspires you, teases you out of your moods and shares your love of life, your bond will become strong.

ARIES
A busy, active day where nothing will stop you pursuing your interests. Your intuition is stronger than usual, but can be quite deceiving, so take care. Love-wise, your man has to match your enthusiasm and be willing to go along with your passionate ideas.

TAURUS
Always sensual, today there is an added vitality and sense of fun to your persona which works well towards your career and financial aspirations. You enjoy a committed relationship, but today you bring a new variety and sense of adventure into the relationship.

GEMINI
Your ideas are wilder than usual and you are quite willing to take a few risks to get what you want. Just be careful – avoid accidents and stress or your body could rebel…You only want to see everything from your point of view. This is not easy at work, so expect a few arguments. Love is fantastic if you have the time…

CANCER
Cancer’s secretly OTT sexual needs could finally be realised as between you want to try every new position and trick – perhaps you should write your own book… Do watch out for unrealistic business schemes. Keep to what you know best or you could lose out, big time.

LEO
Adventure calls, especially sexual ones - but it’s vital that you stay realistic and able to solve problems otherwise you could end up in trouble. Keep a sharp eye on your finances, especially any joint accounts. Fun flirtation works today.

VIRGO
At work, your changeable attitude could cause confusion. Try to stick to the subject and to your opinion despite Neptune causing misunderstandings. Don’t sign any legal contracts today if possible as confusion and deception reign. Love is tempestuous but fun.

LIBRA
Despite your femininity, today is a meeting of minds rather than feelings. You’ll be happy in the company of friends and having a romantic dinner for two, but preferably not too much emotional talk. Silly office gossip could hurt, so don’t listen!

Who or what is stressing you out today? Your boyfriend – or your lack of one? You have great determination, even coming on a bit too strong. Relax and compromise; your magnetic charisma is hard for anyone to resist, and the right partner will come. Self-control when it comes to your finances is necessary today.

SAGITTARIUS
Hiding from your problems rather than facing them will only increase your stress and worry, and then you could get ill. Take your courage, and talk about whatever is worrying you in a determined kind of way. Then, go back to enjoying your usual, energetic sex life.

CAPRICORN
Your social life is fun and harmonious, and it’s time to make new friends and get in touch with old ones. The world is so small now that you have no excuse not to be in touch, so be as generous with your time as you are with money. Don’t let everyone know how hot you really are.

AQUARIUS
Do you have to choose between an exciting career and commitment to your man? The right man will encourage you to have the freedom to be yourself as well as his exciting partner… Whoever you are with, he has to provide total loyalty.

PISCES
Talk about sensual today; you’re a mixture of deep emotion and earthy sexuality. Who can resist your charms? At work there is an unusual competitiveness about you as you want to win and be first - not just one little voice in the team. If not, you’ll be ready to pack your bags and leave. Don’t be too hasty!

ARIES
Do try not to be too critical or demanding - work on being financially independent rather than expecting family and your partner to keep supporting you. At work, don’t let power go to your head as compromise is necessary. Let your guy cheer you up with his willingness to play.

TAURUS
Instead of just blurting out what you think because you are stressed, tired or angry stop, think and count to ten. Compromise is needed. Luckily, your personal planet, Venus, is helping you to rise above your problems. Sex is comforting, but you need to add spice, too.

GEMINI
If you are feeling stressed or irritated by your co-workers, you’ll end up with a headache. You take great pride in your work, and in being as efficient as possible. You can’t always be in control of everything, so just relax and be. Love-wise, his strength and sensitivity must complement yours.

CANCER
You seem a bit out of sorts and bored with mundane tasks. You’re only interested in doing what you want, and even your love life doesn’t seem to be giving you as much enjoyment as usual. It’s just the Sun opposing the Moon making you overreact. A night of mutual pampering is needed.

LEO
As the Sun opposing the Moon is making you feel a bit restless or stressed - especially about career goals - let your partner and family give you the support and nurturing you need. It will do wonders for your body as well as your ego. Then you’ll be ready to party once more.

VIRGO
You have great ideas, but so do your co-workers - be ready to listen as you could hear something that will help you develop your ideas even further. It might even help you to solve a financial problem. Your feelings seem cooler than usual, and your man needs to bring out your inner love and joy.

LIBRA
Finances rear their head today, and it’s no good accusing anyone else of extravagance if you’ve been the one overspending. Be generous, but live within your means. Instead, use your nurturing, caring and loving nature and your guy will also shower you with romantic attention.

Are you trying to do the impossible? Your self-confidence is soaring, you have all the courage you need and are full of great, new ideas – but even so, you could easily damage yourself. Your health is on the line so keep your temper under control. Your tempestuous, but magnetic energy lights up your sex life.

SAGITTARIUS
Always OTT, today you could take it too far and scare off the very guy you love or have set your sights on. Direct your energy into your creative talents rather than your love life as the more unorthodox you are, the more money you’ll make.

CAPRICORN
As you become more independent from your family, you want to control your own living arrangements and space. Don’t make these changes on the spur of the moment – think carefully before moving. It’s hard for you to take advice today – especially from your boyfriend!

AQUARIUS
You find it easy to tell everyone exactly what you think and what you want in your own, unique way – but being too quick with your opinions could upset your friends and associates. Your boyfriend will have to use fun, humour to make your love life enjoyable.

PISCES
Try not to become too insistent on having your own way as there could be arguments and confrontations both at home and at work. Discuss rather than insist that everyone takes on your latest money-making ideas. Fight for your boyfriend rather than with him.

ARIES
Fight for a neighbourhood cause, but be aware that if you take it too far you could lose out big time. Be decisive and quick-witted, but use your charm to keep your co-workers on your side. Love-wise, passion rules but try to understand where your guy is coming from and what he wants.

TAURUS
Don’t be too hasty regarding your finances as you can’t rely on borrowing money or earning enough if you are extravagant. Keep your opinions to yourself - compromise and charm will help you come to an agreement. You need your boyfriend to be understanding if you are moody and difficult today.

GEMINI
Self-indulgence and trying to control everyone to suit you could lead to arguments and even physical confrontations so be polite and ready to compromise. Love-wise, you are also unusually intense which makes you quite volatile and adds sparks to your love life.

CANCER
Please watch out for accidents today, especially if handling any sharp or dangerous objects. Self-pity is to be avoided, especially if you are using it to manipulate people into doing what you want. Love-wise, use your caring, nurturing coupled with your seething passion.

LEO
It’s a flaming hot day for you with fiery Mars opposing fiery Jupiter. Friends are supportive, but don’t lend or invest money in their projects or ideas without checking very carefully with a financial expert. Love is passionate but also caring, loving. You have it all!

VIRGO
Try to avoid arguments at home as well as mishaps around the house, and be extra careful around the kitchen. Also don’t be taken in by promises which sound too good to be true – they probably are! Use your sense of humour with your man rather than your over-critical tongue if you want great sex.

LIBRA
You’ll accomplish a lot if you avoid name-dropping and social climbing today. Be careful, though, when driving – accidents are waiting to happen. Arguments will make you angry, too, so use your easy charm with a dash of passion to keep your guy excited.

Mercury’s move into Sagittarius encourages you to see the bigger picture. You have new, interesting ideas to make money, but don’t rush into them too quickly. Gather as much info as possible first. Love-wise, is there a barrier between you today? It’s just the Full Moon! It’ll pass.

SAGITTARIUS
As Mercury moves into your own sign, information is either about you or you are gathering as much as possible. Makes sure you look your best as you are being noticed for your looks as well as what you have to say. Consider everything you do and say too. Don’t exhaust your man!

CAPRICORN
For the next couple of weeks it’s important you keep your personal activities, thoughts and ideas to yourself. Gather information as you could hear something of great interest. Your dreams are more vivid and your intuition is stronger - use them! Earthy, sensual sex rules.

AQUARIUS
Widen your network of friends and associates now, and exchange ideas and information. Group meetings and discussions work in your favour though not everyone is being honest. Be ready to change your plans. You are unpredictable which keeps your guy on his toes.

PISCES
You could receive some very welcome news about your long-range goals and ambitions and a promotion is possible. Be careful with the information you receive as it may not be accurate – double-check as this could make you very unpopular. Singles, you could easily attract a wonderful guy into your life.

ARIES
Your imagination is stimulated, urging you to travel abroad or to get in touch with people from different cultures and countries, take further training or even learn a new language. Not everything is as it seems though so be careful. Is your man fiery and animated enough for you today?

TAURUS
Discuss investments, joint income and how to develop your skills and talents to their best advantage. Be resourceful and investigate every option rather than relying only on your intuition. Decisions you make in today’s Full Moon could be final so be extra careful. Sensuality rules supreme.

GEMINI
These next couple of weeks are all about negotiations, contracts and partnerships – be as charming and co-operative as you can for best results especially today. The Full Moon is focussing on health matters – not just your own but that of those closest to you. Laugh, nurture, be understanding. Real love rules.

CANCER
Planning your daily routine is essential over the next couple of weeks, especially if your health is playing up. Gather info about the problem and discuss your fitness regime with a health professional. Romance rules, and a friend may well turn into a lover.

LEO
Using your creative talents is vital, but check and then double-check that all the details are correct. Keep any tickets for shows or other entertainment safe, and leave earlier than planned so that you don’t get caught in traffic. Don’t upset your boyfriend by flirting with someone else - he could do the same!

VIRGO
Negotiations over property go well whether you’re buying, selling or renting but there could be unexpected delays. Keep your documents and keys safe. It’s important that your partner and family are up-to-date with everything - communication is the key. You are far more seductive than you look…

LIBRA
You are so busy you don’t know which way to turn as your business, siblings and neighbourhood meetings all demand your attention. This is a good time to buy a car, computer or other electronic equipment. Keep your car and computer in good condition - you don’t need problems now! What you do need is romantic nurturing.

SAGITTARIUS
As Venus moves into Libra you become more interested in your own happiness and your influence over your friends and associates.

Sharing the same values and goals is very important now that Venus has moved into Libra. Your social life will be more intense, especially if you form a new relationship. Just be careful you don’t swamp him with your steamy passion!

ARIES
As your love planet, Venus, moves into Libra you start to think more about your boyfriend and everyone else in your circle rather than just of yourself. This doesn’t dampen your libido, though. This is a good time to negotiate a new contract at work.

TAURUS
Your personal planet, Venus, moves into Libra today making your relationship with co-workers much easier and more co-operative. Having a dental check-up, getting a new hairstyle or other beauty treatments will boost your self-esteem. You aren’t in the mood for fussy sex - you want it long, slow and sensual…

GEMINI
As usual you have the answers, but with Venus moving into Libra you temper these with compromise and harmony. Use your highly creative imagination in everything you do, whether at work or with your boyfriend. You could fulfil all his fantasies.

SAGITTARIUS

CAPRICORN
You are not at your sweetest or most charming today – it’s all about getting things done, no matter what the obstacles. Luckily co-workers, associates and friends are willing to pitch in and help so you do get everything finished. You’ll take both love and sex - and you have no hidden agenda.

AQUARIUS
No-one will dare tell you what to do today – if you want bright blue hair styled and to wear pink 16cm heels that’s your business and, what’s more, you’ll look fantastic! Your temper is simmering below boiling point, but a sense of humour helps keep your love life on track.

PISCES
Don’t let delays in your travel plans make you explode with rage – turn that inner kettle off before it boils over. Focus your attention on to your career aspirations to ensure that you are making the money you need. Love is sensual and sentimental, but quite sparky.

ARIES
Talk about passionate! If you can keep most of this heat for your love and sex life so much the better – otherwise it will boil over into temper tantrums the minute you think you aren’t getting the support you need. Be responsible with money?

TAURUS
You need to know that you have both emotional and material security, but sometimes your extravagance makes this difficult to achieve. Is your man strong enough to cope with you today? Show how much you appreciate him – it will help ignite his sensuality.

GEMINI
Knuckling down to work can be hard for you – you have the passion and the answers, but not the attention span. Saturn urges more patience and that you concentrate on the boring details. You can do it! It’s time to play and have fun.

CANCER
Take a risk with your creative ideas – you’ll probably make money if you can focus and develop them into a viable business. Is your man sensitive enough to understand your many moods? That sometimes you retreat and at others you simmer with emotion? Sex today needs to be mind-blowing.

LEO
Your family and home space are on your mind today, and something seems to be making you unhappy and resentful. Take your power and resolve it before you break away on the spur of the moment. Your warm passion excites your boyfriend, but you can be a little demanding.

VIRGO
Is your work suffering because you aren’t organised enough or don’t have the right information or skills? Now is the time to sort it out - study, read, exchange information and do whatever is necessary to keep on track. You are passionate, emotional and lively tonight – and excitingly sexual.

LIBRA
Today you come across as sexy, lively but still ultra-feminine – a beautiful mix! What not many see is that inside you are a seething, bubbling cauldron of emotion which will certainly erupt if you lose your wallet or bank cards! You’ll certainly light up your guy’s sex life tonight.

With your intuition even stronger today, you can pick up on the real feelings of those around you – this can be scary for them, so be discreet! This is your month for achieving whatever you want, but don’t expect a quick fix; just be patient and make steady progress. Love is a sexy duet.

SAGITTARIUS
Have you chosen a man who is unavailable because this gives you the freedom you need? But when you want him he is not there, either... Don’t take your moodiness out on him today – he finds it difficult to keep one step ahead of your needs. Busy yourself at home you’re your family instead.

PISCES
It’s a bit of an emotional day as past failures and disappointments get brought up. Your responsibilities seem overwhelming, too. Try to see the bigger picture and broaden your horizons by planning a trip and meeting up with people from different cultures. Even your guy seems too needy today.

Focus some of your time on your health regime – it’s the perfect time to get your diet and exercise plan on track. Excitement rules your love life – as long as he is fun. Bores are out!

CANCER
You might want your life to be light and fun but there are additional responsibilities that must be seen to before you can relax and do what you want. Don’t give in to self-pity today – just deal with what has to be done. Sex seems more of an escape and a way to relieve pressure, than love.

LEO
Share your ideas about making your home space happily fulfilling your needs – try not to resent your family or partner restricting you but discuss a way forward. Being loving and charming towards everyone will help, and could bring back some much needed romance into your life.

VIRGO
Lovemaking could be the most magical you’ve experienced – as long as you keep your critical tongue under control! Make sure your car and your computer are kept serviced and in good condition – the last thing you need is for your car to break down or computer failure.

LIBRA
It’s time to focus on your finances if you don’t want to lose money. Responsibility is key, and being carelessly generous - especially to a smooth talking boyfriend - is not the way forward. You need strong values, a deep, committed relationship as well as charm.

SAGITTARIUS
A difficult day today as you want the freedom to do whatever you want, but your guy has to be totally there for you at the same time. Spend more time alone together. Feelings of guilt and self-pity won’t work - you must face any family or home problems head on. Let your intuition guide you.

CAPRICORN
Have you thrown one too many tantrums? They might relieve your emotional stress but everyone else is bored. Be practical, helpful and alert to everything going on – it will bring your associates back on your side. Your nurturing strength attracts the guys, and you need electric sex as well as commitment today.

AQUARIUS
Use your intuitive understanding to decide if this is the day to ask for a salary raise. Be more conservative than usual as patience is in high demand. Your lover is your best friend, and you are able to share pain as well as happiness. Sex has to be nurturing today - you are not in the mood for detachment.

This is a very emotional day, and you probably want to spend some time alone, studying or reading. Your intuition and insights are even stronger than usual - use them to help you make the right career decisions. Let your boyfriend keep your spirits high.

ARIES
Is that you - soft, nurturing and almost ethereal today? Let your guy make the most of it! He’ll help you understand your complex feelings. Saturn is stressing the need for you to be responsible about money, investments and debts. Collect money owed, but also remember to pay your bills.

TAURUS
Saturn is making you more patient than usual, but both the Sun and Moon encourage your understanding, empathy and ability to find solutions for yourself and everyone else. Your popularity grows, both with friends and your guy. Love is entertaining and emotional.

GEMINI
Your career is the focus, and it’s quite an emotional day if you feel you aren’t coping with the endless routine. Just knuckle down and do what has to be done, controlling your feelings as you dream of what you would like your life to be. You need fun, not commitment today.

CANCER
Your creative talents may not be appreciated by colleagues, but instead of allowing your emotions to take over, just concentrate on what has to be done in a patient way and you’ll succeed. Running away isn’t an option - use your large sexual repertoire to escape stress.

LEO
If your home life is restrictive or disappointing you’ll have to do what you can to improve the situation in emotional rather than letting dramatics take over. Sort out any shared or joint financial affairs. Intense emotions rule your sex life which is highly active and unrestrained.

VIRGO
Your emotions rule and you are sensitive and responsive, but with swinging moods today. Love-wise, let him pander to your feelings for once - you could be wonderfully surprised! Don’t take on too many responsibilities in your neighbourhood – you also need time to enjoy your friends.

LIBRA
Financially, you could be a ‘soft touch’ so make sure you keep control of your credit card and your wallet. Concentrate on your daily work and responsibilities and you’ll soon see the positive results. Love-wise, romance rules as long as there is commitment too.

As the Sun starts to move out of your sign into Scorpio you become less ‘airy’ and more passionate and dramatic. Finances become more of a goal, and you become more creative in the way you use and spend your money. You expect your boyfriend to be equally careful, but still generous.

SCORPIO
The Sun is starting to move into your own sign, and drama rules. It’s time to look at your self- image, your long-term as well as your immediate goals and plan your next step. Use your positive self-confidence in a decisive way to help you reach your goals. Love could be serious.

SAGITTARIUS
The move of the Sun into Scorpio today highlights your hidden agenda rather than the face you show the public. Deal with past failures, shame or limitations without falling into the self-pity trap. You may be called on to look after a friend or family member. Fantasies are waiting to be explored.

CAPRICORN
The effort you put into your career goals will be financially compensated. It’s time to ask for a rise as your business associates are ready to be generous. Don’t come across as too arrogant. Today you don’t need your boyfriend to be needy or possessive - you need to feel the wind in your hair.

AQUARIUS
Your long-term goals and career aspirations are highlighted by the Sun moving into Scorpio, and you need your work to be recognised and appreciated. If it isn’t, take this time to see the way forward. The same goes in your love life – are you prepared to listen? It’s magic when you do.

PISCES
You don’t just want the money (though that would be great) you want the status. If this means further study and learning new skills, then you are ready. You want to mix with people from different races and cultures, and to travel. In love today you are moody, sensitive and very naughty all at the same time.

ARIES
Partnerships are highlighted by the Sun moving into Scorpio – love, business and family. You could become very demanding over joint money matters; consider further study to make you financially independent. Drama and passion simmer and you are hot, very hot.

TAURUS
Your focus of the Sun moving into Scorpio is your influence over everyone, and you seem more forceful and independent in business and are able to negotiate more favourable contracts. Love-wise, you offer passion, love and friendship. Relax and enjoy the intimacy.

GEMINI
Are you enjoying your work? Do you take pride in it? If not, what would really suit you? You need to have influence, but this means being responsible and hard-working. Take time now to get your health and diet routine sorted. Emotionally volatile, you need your space today.

CANCER
Self-indulgent in the pursuit of whatever brings you pleasure, you could become quite dramatic and OTT if anything stops you. Your imagina
