TAURUS (Apr 20 - May 20)

THE HIEROPHANT is the Tarot Card.

The card shows The Hierophant robed with a crown and you represents levels of wisdom. You have the capacity for new and fresh insights out of old ways. Usually you are self employed and determined mostly to get your own way.

You are ahead in your desires and ideas but have a fear of insecurity when it is time to take risks. You don't want to miss these opportunities and need to trust your intuition and not always rely on the familiar. You like emotional security and like to be looked up to and admired.

Heading down Cross St on the left is Traansvaal Ave named by Edward Knox Harkness, who developed property in the street, June 1900 in honour of NSW troops fighting in the Boer War. The streetscape mainly consists of quaint cottages with Victorian style facades and a beautiful boulevard in the middle with unique shops on either side.

Don't miss the plaque outside No 16B honouring Herbert Henry (Dally) Messenger. https://www.woollahra.nsw.gov.au/library/local_history/woollahra_plaque_scheme/plaques/herbert_henry_dally_messenger

The former Double Bay Public School student was born in Balmain in 1883 before his family moved to the house in Transvaal Ave in 1885 when they established a boat building business on the waterfront near Beach St, which grew into a fully-fledged marina.

He is recognised by both rugby and rugby league fraternities for his achievements - acknowledged as ‘a rugby genius, ranked the best Australian footballer of all time’ by historians of the code from which he defected in 1907 and hailed simply as ‘The Master’ by the Rugby League.

I cross NSH Rd and head down Bay St to a park at Guilfoyle Ave. Once known as Guilfoyle's Exotic Nursery, one of the nation's celebrated early gardening families operated a nursery known as the 'Exotic Nursery' from 1851 to 1874 on 3.5 acres (1.4 ha.). Michael Guilfoyle introduced many trees and shrubs into Australia including the Camellia. He was also responsible for successfully overcoming difficulties previously encountered in propagating the Jacaranda. One of his sons, William, is also celebrated in having modelled the Melbourne Botanical Gardens. A plaque is dedicated to Michael Guilfoyle at

37 South St. Also in the park is a memorial for Yitzhak Rabin, Prime Minister Israel 1974-77; 92-95 and 1994 Nobel Peace Prize winner.

Always remember you are THE BULL powerful and utterly unstoppable. Nothing can bring you down except fear. You can be hard headed but you are reliable, loyal and down to earth.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 21)

THE LOVERS is the Tarot Card.

The Lovers card features Adam and Eve with Angels pouring their heavenly influences and messages over them. Keeping in mind where the Lovers card falls within the Tarot layout and what cards lie around it.

It is also the card of Ying and Yang and urges you to make important decisions as you are always of two minds. You must let your heavenly influences help you and let decisions come naturally rather jumping ahead.

Gemini is also an explorer interested in gathering information and experimenting with different possibilities. You are adaptable and is easily bored.

Love and light to all...

I head towards NSH Rd and cross the road to Kiaora Place, a shopping precinct, which was recently revitalised. This was once home to the Double Bay Grounds where Australasia won the Cup in 1909 and 1919. A wall consists of a series of interprative panels and images depicting the Double Bay Grounds and tennis legends who graced the court including Sir Norman Brookes, James Anderson, Anthony Wilding and Patterson. The Grounds was the home of Australian tennis between 1909 and 1920. It hosted the Australasian

Double Bay wouldn't be what it is today without the iconic Twenty One Espresso in Knox St, specialising in continental food. It was established in 1958 by John Schiffer when he moved to Sydney from Hungary in 1957. Seeing this opportunity, he imported one of the first Italian espresso machines... the rest is history...Now run by his son George..it's a Double Bay institution.
