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.

'Glenrock' and 'Fiona' (main house and dower house).'The Octagon', acknowledged as the oldest surviving building on Darling Pt, which is part of Ascham. The school was founded by Miss Marie Wallis in 1886, beginning elsewhere on Darling Pt in a terrace house in Marathon Ave. The school moved in 1895 to 'Delamere' in Goomera Cresc, and again in 1901 to Henry Mort's 'Mount Adelaide', before finally settling in 1909 at 'Glenrock'.

Further down the road is St Marks Church, made famous by hosting such famous weddings as Elton John's first marriage and the fictional wedding in the film 'Muriel's Wedding'. St Mark's church was built on land given by Thomas Sutcliffe Mort. After work was completed, St Mark's opened for divine service on Nov 7, 1852. Thomas Mort, Thomas Ware Smart and Thomas Whistler Smith were the first church wardens (known as the "Three Toms"). The bells, donated by Thomas Ware Smart in 1862, were first heard at the grand wedding of his step-daughter Mary Anne Lydia Oliver who, it was said, was attended by twenty bridesmaids. The tower and the steeple, completed in 1875, were a gift of William Bradley, whose Lindesay property was one of the earliest in Darling Pt.

The current rector, since 2013, is Rev. Dr Michael Jensen, a son of the former archbishop of Sydney, The Most Reverend Peter Jensen. I turn right into Greenoaks Ave. Next to St Marks is the gated house of Bishopscourt. Originally built by ironmonger Thomas Wooley in 1841.

In 1845, businessman Thomas Sutcliffe Mort leased the land, and purchased the cottage and the 2.8ha estate the following year for 2,500 pounds.

Mort transformed the cottage into a gentleman’s residence in 1846 and named it Greenoaks. Edmund Blacket in 1859 and Professor Leslie Wilkinson in 1935 made later additions. Landscape designer Michael Guilfoyle, created one of the finest gardens in Sydney and the original plant still remains today. Since 1911, Bishopscourt has until

Heading back up to Darling Pt Rd I turn left at the round-about to Mona Rd. I pass 'Mona' at No. 38 Mona Rd, which stands on the original 'Dunlop Grant' sold to Thomas Ware Smart in 1841 who built the house designed by John Bibb and Mona Terraces down the road.

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

THE CHARIOT is the Tarot Card.

I then head back to Darling Pt Rd passing No. 32, Cloncorrick, built in 1884 for Sir George Bowen Simpson to a design by John Horbury Hunt in the Victorian Free Gothic style. Simpson named the house after Cloncorrick Castle in Ireland, where his grandfather once lived. The home was the residence of notable Australians and is considered to be a house of local historic significance.

The Chariot is drawn by two horses. It indicates that a time of struggling has been overcome and there are positive changes ahead. You need to continue to move forward. You must ride ahead with will power and determination.

The Chariot says you are moving away from disappointments and are heading into another realm. Again depending where this card lies within your Tarot layout and what cards are surrounding it. Through hard work and committment you will achieve your aim. This is a card of success.

Walking further down the road I turn right into Marathon Rd. No. 3-5 is a home called The Annery, which was built in 1884 for George Montague Merrivale and named after the ancestral home of the Merrivales in North Devon. A guard house was built, in the north corner of the garden alongside Marathon Rd steps which was on the line of the Maroo, the old walking track from the 'Lookout Post' to Sydney Town, to house soldiers guarding convicts working in area.

Across the road at No.1 Mount Adelaide St is Babworth House built for Sir Samuel Hordern II, in 1912 (Morrow & DE Peutron, architects) in a style combining elements of Federation Classical, Bungalow, a forerunner of Art Deco. In 1956 Sir Samuel Hordern died and the property was bought by Major Harold Rubin who presented it to St Vincent's Hospital.

The Chariot also suggests you must think with a clear mind particularly in emotional matters. Take time to let decisions come more naturally.
