Aries: March 21 – April 20
Truth can sometimes be a difficult commodity to deal with, and sometimes it hurts, giving the person who wields it, and who has it on their side, some quite amazing power. So take care when you speak those truths, and be certain of your ground when you communicate them. A move is indicated for you before the end of the summer – one that could well shift you into a more comfortable place. Friends need to encourage you, rather than point out the logistical negatives though.
Taurus: April 21 – May 21
Emotions could be running high over the next week as particular deadlines approach, and you will need to get ALL your priorities identified so chaos can be avoided. Love too, will present itself in somewhat difficult circumstances, perhaps where opportunities conflict with practicalities, keep all of your wits about you! Sometimes we can go through an entire winter without a cold or the flu – then when it is all over the bug strikes. Make sure you have all your medications to hand.
Gemini: May 22 – June 21
Holiday time is around us again and, plans are being made. Sadly the costs of our various adventures are higher than the planes that take us to them. Bargains though, can still be found if you check carefully. Because on the whole though, this is a positive time, a moment perhaps where many things can be put onto the long finger while you take a short trip to where batteries can be recharged, and watch as a new reality emerges.
Cancer: June 22 – July 22
There is still a certain amount of tension in the air but, if you have dealt with all of your issues as best as you can, you can justify whatever stance you have taken as a result, and furthermore, if significant others are happy to go along with it, then, and only then, will you be truly free to live the positive life you deserve. You will also need to suspend, what is a useless disagreement, for the moment – just to give time for the dust to settle, and for things to become clearer.
Leo: July 23 – August 23
It will feel so good for you when, as your own spirits seem to be rising, that those around you appear to be going along with your mood of abundance and expansion. It could well be that this atmosphere of good cheer will encourage you to take the next step that is required to get a very special project up and running after the holidays are completed.. Expect a gift of some kind to appear that will answer a dream that you didn’t even know you had.
Virgo: August 24 – Sep 23
This has been a very challenging time for you over the last couple of months or so, but just as you are beginning to look forward to a few days rest, things seem to be taking off again, and you are likely to feel even more exhausted than ever. Perhaps you could treat this moment as a catalyst that will encourage you to look more closely at all the issues that exist within your life, to see perhaps, those things that you will change as 2012 unfolds in its helter skelter – uncertain – but ultimately fruitful fashion.
Libra: Sept 24th - Oct 23
Life seems to be almost overflowing with activity and fun. But sometimes the very fullness of it all can bring its own complications with it. The suggestion being, that you ration your activities, and only be where you really want to be, and not find yourself at the beck and call of everyone else. Understand too, the needs of your own life, and keep your energy outlay to a minimum. Creatively, you might be in a good place. Colour, music, style and design all have very positive connotations for you.
Scorpio: Oct 24 - Nov 22
A way out is discovered that might well free you up from a situation that has bogged you down for the last few months – perhaps the financial pressure that has so assailed the society in which we all live might, for you at least, be on the verge of alleviation. Expect to discover joy and laughter in a place where it has, thus far, been in very short supply. Someone is awaiting a call from you, don’t let them , or yourself, down.
Sagittarius: Nov 23 - Dec 21st
There are situations around you that seem to exist independently of you, and this could be a reflective time where you could review your part in whatever is evolving. Have discussions with whoever thinks they know what is going on so that any misunderstandings can be clarified. There is also the sense of something that appeared to be lost, or given up on, could suddenly be re-launched. Wedding plans might need to be re-checked as the hotel industry is going through a tough time.
Capricorn: Dec 22 - Jan 21
There is the feeling that for you, in a similar fashion to the Sagittarians, an opportunity that appeared to have passed you by will, if you are patient, present itself once more for you to look at. It could also be, on the other hand, that a lost love might well re-emerge into your life, or that someone you considered as no more than a friend, might make a suggestion that leads you to think that something more might be involved. But don’t succumb to the slightly inappropriate temptations that present themselves.
Aquarius: Jan 22 - Feb 19th
Trust your own visceral reactions to situations where everyone else is running around like headless chickens. Maybe try to stand back and reserve your judgements until all the information is gathered in – such an attitude will stand you in very good stead at the end of the day. You might also be called upon to use your person-to-person skills where your charm will be a very useful tool – remember though, that anger and ruffling feathers will get you nowhere.
Pisces: Feb 20 - March 20
Events are coming to pass that may well leave your plans for the rest of your summer on hold. But oddly, as a result there is a feeling that everything works out the way you would have wished. Telling you, perhaps once again, that nothing in life, other than the moment in which you find yourself, can ever be written in stone. That plans are little more than wish lists, and that life generally takes us to where we need to be. Endlessly surprising.

- A Government Successread more »
Once in a blue moon. As rare as hen's teeth. A Government success. Each of those three sentences are as unusual and as rare as each other. But the last one seems to be about to take place. The Government has announced that it plans to give each child in the State a second year of free pre-school. It might not sound like earth shattering news but if it does happen then it could be one of the most significant things that this Government has done since it took office. Any money that is given over to education is a …
