Welcome to our monthly POPIA Horoscope! 🔮

This post offers you POPIA tips couched in wily wit. Simply navigate to your star sign and read our analysis. You can also use your organisation’s incorporation date to see under which sign it falls.

Legally speaking, we disclaim liability for you not having a sense of humour.

Aries: 21 Mar - 19 Apr

Decisions that you made earlier in the year are finally coming to fruition 🤔. But that doesn’t mean it’s time for you to relax. Also, the sun is entering your house, which means that it will be light, or is it that there is a bad moon rising like CCR sang. There’s a lot of sun in Africa ☀️, so you should pay close attention to what’s happening there by checking out our site.

Taurus: 20 Apr - 20 May

Stop being a pig-headed (or should I say bull-headed), stubborn fool 🐂. Your behaviour could lead to a misunderstanding, could cause some conflict, and require you to spend a significant amount of time resolving the issue 🧯. Rather suck up your opinion, admit you are wrong, and spend the time focusing on how to fix it. Better yet, just do the risk assessment and avoid the issues altogether!

Gemini: 21 May - 21 Jun

Mars is in retrograde until January, so use this energy to get your plans sorted for next year 🗓️. Change is possible in December, so use this time wisely while others are slacking off ⏳! Sometimes to go forward you have to look back, so make sure you are on the right track. Do another impact assessment and compare your current answers to previous before to see if anything has changed. If it hasn’t you might (i.e you really should) want to rethink your strategy.

Cancer: 22 Jun - 22 Jul

You’re intuitive, and you like to know what’s going on in other people’s lives … Only, you don’t know what’s going on in your own life 👀. You will never excel in sports because you have to rest every time you breathe. Which is okay because you manage your career from the comfort of your bed… since you’ve got so much time on your hands, why don’t you read our POPIA insights (that’s not really a question 🙃). If you’re going to sit in your room all day, might as well learn something.

Leo: 23 Jul - 22 Aug

You are passionate, loyal and fiery. You also wear t-shirts with quotes on them…which look bad on 95% of the people that wear them. They also look bad on the other 5% 🤷‍♀️. Hey, why don’t you channel some of that energy towards training to be an information officer at your organisation. Get people excited to protect their personal information (YAY! 🥳). Don’t worry, we’ll guide you throughout your journey.

Virgo: 23 Aug - 22 Sep

You are a pain in the behind. You colour-coordinate the clothes in your closet and regulate your breathing. You know that saying, ‘if you want something done, give it to a busy person’? That’s you. Sometimes, you close the refrigerator door slowly so you can trick the light inside 👁️. Don’t put the cheese in the wrong place or they will go Kill Bill on you 🩸! That’s also what will happen if you accidentally leak people’s personal information and don’t report it to the regulator, like, yesterday. We can help with that. Read our guide on how to make the Information Regulator happy with your organisation.

Libra: 23 Sep – 23 Oct

You are all about balance, harmony, and equilibrium ⚖️, making you an excellent Jenga player. You also tend to solve problems with diplomacy, but the movement of the moon this month might make that difficult. If you run into problems trying to solve POPIA incidents with words, consider using your fists 🥊 (jokes, obviously). Just let us coach you.

Scorpio: 24 Oct – 21 Nov

You can’t have everything you want, Scorpio. This month will be all about learning balance. You need to learn how to balance how much time you spend watching series and weeping openly with how much time you actually spend being a productive human. You gotta start human being instead of human contributing-nothing-to-society 🧍‍♀️. People count on you 🫵, Scorpio. You can start by looking at our training options and pick from programmes and workshops.

Sagittarius: 22 Nov – 21 Dec

This month, everything will become just as clear as it is unclear. Because when a blind man holds the key to life’s acorn tree, purple monkey dishwasher…. Is probably what you hear when people talk about POPIA and compliance 😵‍💫. Cool, so, we’re here to help make your compliance journey simple (and maybe even fun 🫣). Attend one of our webinars to get clued up.

Capricorn: 22 Dec – 19 Jan

Stop being so conservative! Because of this, it feels like 2022 is ending on a low note, and you are feeling like it hasn’t been productive. Be the goat you are 🐐 and use that hard-headed noggin for something good! Figure out what you are doing and if you need to change it by checking out this post on Google Analytics. Quick do it before Mercury is in retrograde near the end of the month 🔮!

Aquarius: 20 Jan – 18 Feb

You like doing things, but then you don’t like other things, come on, just pick something 😵‍💫. We have made it easy for your indecisive brain. The Data Protection Programme can help narrow it down into a nice simple, easy-to-read lens for you, that should be straightforward enough right? 🤷‍♀️

Pisces: 19 Feb – 20 Mar

Hi!!! 👋 Yes you, get your head out of those clouds and come back down to Earth for a bit. Are you seriously telling me that you still have not registered your Information Officer yet? 👀 You have got to be kidding me?! Say it together with me: I will register today, I will register today. Now move your cursor or finger for those young ones on your phones and touch devices and click or tap ➡️ here!
