Your weekly horoscope for 9 to 15 March
Everything you need to know for your upcoming week
ARIES
Now that the celestial game changer Uranus has left Aries, the prospect of more settled activities and projects will begin to appeal to you. You can make so much progress this week, although legal, study, long-distance and spiritual matters will require focus.
TAURUS
With Uranus in Taurus now, expect to see change both in your personal and work life. This week, the key to happiness lies in careful talks with organisations and friends. Then all your lovely activities and plans will fall into place.
GEMINI
This is a power-packed week for you, so aim to succeed! Success will entail co-operation and perhaps even compromise, as long as the playing field is even. Make your best efforts, and you should get the results you want by Friday.
CANCER
You should begin to see more clearly how well your plans and actions are coming together for you, especially if you are bold during the week and aim to collaborate and co-operate at work, with travel plans, study and in your personal life.
LEO
There’s a choice this week. One is to stick to the tried-and-trusted; and the other, to try something new, despite potential teething problems. The bolder and more adventurous you are (while maintaining standards), the happier you’ll be.
VIRGO
New collaborations, projects and ventures; and the sense that your duties and ideas can have more breadth and scope, will be exciting. But much of your happiness will revolve around relationships, so ensure you nurture these too, especially domestically.
LIBRA
The better your domestic circumstances the better you will function at work, and results along these lines should arise. Good communication skills will foster good relationships. A trip or meeting towards Friday could be a catalyst for something new.
SCORPIO
Some great relationships, contacts and interactions this week will feel truly satisfying and should promote your work interests, too. So take the initiative and push yourself forward. Just be careful to avoid grandstanding. Finances may require focus.
SAGITTARIUS
You’ll enjoy a boost in self-esteem and happiness. Be bold and work towards your goals both at work and in your personal life. If you encounter tension or even a disagreement, take the time to defuse this before it becomes serious conflict.
CAPRICORN
There is so much progress this week, it would be a pity to be dragged down by matters from your past. Aim to boost health; be progressive and positive, and you could scale mountains now. Avoid disagreements, especially towards Thursday.
AQUARIUS
Your hard work has every chance of success; you are due a positive outcome for all your hard work from the past, and may even be surprised by a financial or an ego boost. Avoid needless conflict with a group, organisation or friend.
PISCES
As the Sun and Mercury align in Pisces, expect important developments. You should experience an upturn socially or at work. You’ll enjoy an ego-boost as a result. Avoid biting off more than you can chew, as this could put pressure on.

Nikiwe Dlova: ‘Creativity is blossoming like never before in Africa’
Soweto-based hair artist Nikiwe Ndlova has changed the way we think about hair with her visionary creations. We asked her about her inspiration and what the next generation of young African creatives is doing differently.
Graduating from the University of Johannesburg in 2013 with a diploma in clothing management, Nikiwe went on to work in retail as an intern and was promoted to assistant in the buying department. In 2016 she went on her own and started her a hair street culture blog called ownURcrown, which elevated her career to what it is today.
What shaped your aesthetic?
I don’t really remember when the creativity ‘hit’ or kicked in, and I can’t pinpoint where it comes from exactly. But I remember that as a kid I was always inspired by everything happening around me – the newspapers and magazines, the activity out on the street. Eventually, when I was a little older at school, I started letting some of that creativity out, and I would sing and act as much as I could. But for the most part, my creative side was a little shy.
Was there a moment when something just ‘clicked’ for you?
For a long time, you wouldn’t even have noticed me. I didn’t really express myself on a visual level. It took a while for me develop who I am today and how I portray myself to the world. It only happened after I left university, and more significantly, when I cut my Afro and I suddenly had short hair; it changed everything for me. That was actually such a defining moment and one that really started my relationship with hair. I suddenly felt like my true self.
What was it about cutting your hair that made you feel this way?
I think that it takes a lot of confidence to be completely who you are. It’s easy to underestimate what it takes to be your true self. And unfortunately it’s something that most of us take a long time to learn. One thing I can say though is that people are finding their individuality and sense of self a lot quicker these days … Maybe because there is a greater sense of belonging?
How do you think creativity in Africa has evolved?
Creativity is blossoming like never before in Africa. And platforms like social media are helping it along, especially for the younger generations – Millennials and Gen Z. Suddenly people are seeing proper representation, and it helps shed some of the fear or uncertainty of being who you truly are or how you want to present yourself. We’re learning that we don’t have to look across the ocean at places like USA to tell us what to wear and how to look. Suddenly we can stand back and say wait, we don’t need anyone else defining us.
How do you think that’s shaping the next generation of creatives?
The next generation of creatives is going to change the narrative of society. They’re discovering things most of us never had the chance to learn. But one of the most important things they’re learning is deep-rooted self-love. It’s such a valuable and powerful lesson to learn.
What have you learned through your own creativity?
I learned that generally, we don’t celebrate ourselves nearly enough. We have this culture of waiting for others to celebrate or recognise us. We shouldn’t wait for those moments. We should just celebrate ourselves because we are worth celebrating.
What shapes your personal style?
It’s difficult to describe it because there are so many things that inspire and shape me. Some days I’m simple with a twist; other days I’m a burst of colour. There are days I’m a mix of African eclecticism, and others when I’m quite ‘out there’.
You’re known first and foremost for your hair. What does hair mean to you?
Hair is a powerful thing. Especially in our country, where many people still can’t fully embrace or express themselves through their hair. Hair is fun and it can be interesting. But it’s also political and powerful. It can be a tool for social commentary and for making a statement. What I want most of all is for kids to be inspired by what they see.
Do you think your relationship with hair has a particular future?
What’s really important for me is that the narrative of hair changes. So I would love to start an academy or production company that will help change the way people look at hair. I want to train people to take hair styling to the next level and push creative boundaries.
FUN FACTS
Favourite accessory?
Can I say my hair? Because it’s definitely my hair!
All-time favourite style icon?
Without a doubt, Erykah Badu.
Bucket list destination?
I can’t pick only one: Ghana, New York City and Amsterdam.
A wild party or a quiet night in?
I’ve had my wild days, so I’d have to say a quiet night in.

Streaming series
Turn Up Charlie
(Netflix, 15 March)
Forget Luther and the James Bond rumours – Idris Elba’s new gig is playing ‘manny’ to his famous best friend’s problem-child daughter, while trying to make it as a club DJ in the Netflix Original Turn Up Charlie. Starring alongside him are Covert Affairs’ Piper Perabo as Sara and young actor Frankie Hervey as ‘problem child’ Gabrielle. Sara is a superstar DJ, feminist icon and vivacious trendsetter, who abandons the exciting life she lived in America to put down roots in London, in an attempt to give Gabrielle more stability and normality. Spoiled and savvy, Gabrielle is wise beyond her years. Neglected by her career-driven parents, she pushes the boundaries – and the sanity of her nannies – to the extreme, in order to get her mom and dad’s attention. Her spiky retorts, mischievous adventures and epic tantrums hide a lonely young girl with a distorted view of reality.
Book
Gingerbread by Helen Oyeyemi
(5 March)
Perdita Lee and her mother Harriet may appear to be just an average British schoolgirl and working-class mom, but they’re not as normal as they appear to be. Apart from sharing their gold-painted, seventh-floor walk-up apartment with verbal vegetation, they also make gingerbread their fellow Londoners aren’t particularly wild about but is hugely popular in faraway Druhástrana, the (potentially imaginary) land of Harriet’s early youth. Harriet’s charismatic childhood friend, Gretel Kercheval, is their biggest fan – and also seems to have had a hand in everything, good or bad, that has happened to Harriet since they met. Decades later, when a teenage Perdita sets out to track down her mother’s long-lost friend, Harriet’s story is retold in a new light, including encounters with jealousy, ambition, family grudges, work, wealth, and real estate as the headlines – though gingerbread seems to be the constant.
Gadget
Intelligent Oven
We’ve heard of smart ovens before, with one-touch cooking for set dishes – but we’ve never seen anything like Whirlpool’s Connected Hub Wall Oven Concept, which uses augmented reality to teach you how to cook. A transparent 27-inch LCD screen replaces the traditional glass on the door, and becomes the interface which gives the user the chance to discover, learn and control the cooking process from a central hub. It integrates family calendars and analyses schedules to suggest the ideal family dinner time – then also prompts a quick recipe suggestion, based on the time and ingredients available, as well as learned family food preferences. Connected to the Yummly platform, the screen displays step-by step video instructions on how to prepare each meal, while Coordinated Cooking schedules the cooking of different dishes to ensure that everything is ready at the same time. The Whirlpool Connected Hub Wall Oven Concept debuted at CES2019, with production details, a release date and costs not yet announced.

SuperGolf on Steroids!
Golf’s monster R model just got more aggressive, thanks to the addition of 15 extra kilowatts and new exterior design highlights. The revised model sees the power output rise from 213kW to 228kW, propelling it to 100km/h in just 4.6 seconds in conjunction with the snappy 7-speed DSG and standard Launch Control. On the exterior, optional R Performance Titanium exhaust and optional R Performance brakes with brake calipers painted black with the ‘R’ logo add extra sports appeal. Standard features include the ‘R’ designed bumpers, LED headlights and taillights. Exterior mirror housing caps come in matte chrome or optional carbon, with various 19-inch wheel choices. The revised 2.0 TSI 228kW DSG Golf R retails from R676 000 and includes a standard five-year/90 000km service plan, three-year/120 000km warranty and 12-year anti-corrosion warranty.

Captain Marvel
(8 March)
Captain Marvel finally gets her own stand-alone film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film tells the story of hot-shot US Air Force officer Carol Danvers who signs up for a deep space mission with Starforce and finds herself up against her toughest-ever adversary, the Kree empire. In the process of joining Starforce, Danvers’ biology melds with Kree DNA, turning her into a hybrid, erasing her memory and setting her on a path to rediscover her true self. Set in the 1990s, Captain Marvel is an all-new adventure from a previously unseen period in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Brie Larson stars as Danvers and is supported by, among others, Samuel L. Jackson, Djimon Hounsou, Lee Pace, Ben Mendelsohn, Annette Bening and Jude Law. After Captain Marvel, Brie Larson will reprise her role in Avengers: Endgame, out in April.
Film
Hotel Mumbai
(29 March)
Hotel Mumbai is based on the gripping true story of humanity and heroism which played out when a group of terrorists laid siege to the famed Taj Hotel in Mumbai in 2008. Among the dedicated hotel staff is the renowned chef Hemant Oberoi (Anupam Kher) and a waiter (Dev Patel) who choose to risk their lives to protect their guests. As the world watches on, a desperate couple (played by Armie Hammer and Nazanin Boniadi) is forced to make unthinkable sacrifices to protect their newborn child.
