Aries: 21 Mar - 19 Apr
The rising moon on the tipped axis of Pluto says you were once born, and at some point, in the next few days or weeks you will meet someone else who was once born. And guess what? This someone else, just like you, has not completed their Information Officer Assessment either! 😱 This is a unique opportunity for you as a member of the Michalsons Data Protection Programme and yet you waste it? 😒 At least try to finish it before the end of this year.
Taurus: 20 Apr - 20 May
The stars say that you are practical and persistent. We say that you are as stubborn as a bull. Just ask your colleagues. You’re low-key and pretty damn boring. 🙄 Okay, we are just joking. We’ve Googled memes about Taurus and we don’t want to be your next victim, please! 😅 Let’s play nice and we will share some interesting information with you. We know you will love new and trending data protection developments like those in Africa. 🌍 You can get started by learning about Data Protection in Botswana.
Gemini: 21 May - 21 Jun
It’s time to make some changes around here! 🌿 Your data protection journey has been stagnant for far too long Gemini and you are eager for change! These shape-shifting moments are going to lead to prosperity in your future. You’ve made the decision, you’ve chosen your data protection software and cannot wait to see the benefits carry your journey through to the new year! Let’s go! 🏃🏿
Cancer: 22 Jun - 22 Jul
A little birdie told us that you lot love to complain about EVERYTHING! 😩 You’re forever irritated and annoyed, always finding flaws in almost everything. Do us all a favour, when you’re done whining find a corner where nobody is looking and cry there. Oh, wait! Here’s a better plan for you! 😃 Since you love to complain so much, why not put your whining ways to good use by learning how to resolve data protection complaints?
Leo: 23 Jul - 22 Aug
In ancient Egypt cats were considered to be Gods. 🐈⬛ Well, we’re not in ancient Egypt and you’re not a God! You’re just a natural performer who loves being the centre of attention. We know you’re bold and strong and love a good fight. 🥷 You might want to sharpen those claws because the stage is set for you to give the performance of your life! The information regulator’s enforcement committee is now up and running. Enforcement notices are coming soon!
Virgo: 23 Aug - 22 Sep
So you think you know everything there is to know about data protection law, huh? 🤔 Well, you probably didn’t know that there are lessons to be learned from the data protection laws of Poland. Poland is more comparable to African countries than you might think, because you actually don’t know everything, and certainly more relatable than its European neighbours. Consider giving it your time of day and maybe you’ll learn something new in relation to your own POPIA journey. 🤷🏽♀️
Libra: 23 Sep – 23 Oct
As a Libra, you’re a big fan of balance, diplomacy, and things being the way they should. So we’re guessing the Google Analytics saga must really be eating at your nerves. 🤣 So is Google Analytics lawful or unlawful in South Africa? Mmmmh? Do you know the answer? Does POPIA give us an answer? To return the balance, surely you need to know the answer. 🤔
Scorpio: 24 Oct – 21 Nov
Let us take the sting out of you quickly. 🐝 You love long, deep conversations. The problem is that nobody wants to have them with you. 🙇🏼♂️ Not even your dark sense of humour can save you. If you want to engage in a long, deep conversation, join the Michalsons team when we talk about the latest data protection developments in America. At least that conversation will be intellectually stimulating. You might learn a thing or two. 💡
Sagittarius: 22 Nov – 21 Dec
This month, everything that was so unclear will become clearer than it has ever been before! 😃 You have rediscovered the gift of sight and need to share it far and wide! Use your characteristic passion, curiosity, intensity, and adaptability to drive a change within your company! 🗣️ No more blurry, muggy, or confusing contracts or policies, you have seen the way with legal design! 👀 How could you ever go back to the boring Privacy Policy you used to copy off the internet? 🤢
Capricorn: 22 Dec – 19 Jan
We know that in your mind you are on holiday already. 🏖️ But do you think you could keep a straight face rather than showing the world you don’t feel like working for the rest of the year? Pull yourself back into the real world and think about your incident response plan if a data breach happens while you’re soaking up the sun! Hold on Santa! 🎅🏼 It’s not the festive season yet! Before you rush off, look at these local and international guidelines too. 👀
Aquarius: 20 Jan – 18 Feb
You know those popular online posts that say “10 habits of highly productive people”? Well, you’re not one of them! We know that you don’t want to work because you are just counting down the days to the holidays. It’s still November darlings! 📆 The cosmos has your lot down as having a very creative and inquiring mind. You love information – we get it. Just don’t be like the journalist who was so greedy for the story that he forgot to ask the government for access to a classified report! December is a month away. Don’t rush the process!
Pisces: 19 Feb – 20 Mar
You are likely to be quick and resolute in your actions. ⏱️ This is a time when you can use your resources usefully. Except you don’t. You waste them. Why would you do that? 🤦 This means you need to rely on those around you for support when you could be the one supporting them. Consider this carefully when you conduct a risk assessment. Will software come to your aid when you’ve wasted so much time doing things manually before? 👩🏻💻 You’ll need to ask Gemini about this one.
