In a short horoscope.
I think it means something along the lines of "make you the centre of attention in a group". A more concise/idiomatic translation would be better as I am only allowed to use a limited number of characters as these horoscopes are to be delivered via SMS. Thanks for your suggestions:
"Son dias apropiados para que participes en debates y foros Por tu locuacidad e inteligentes puntos de vista **eres carne de tertulia**"
