n o ps m o h T m Sa & tt o m er cD M Tarot Reading for Zara WOW! What a thrilling emotional roller coaster ride for our two favourite beautiful people Zara McDermott and Sam Thompson! And they’d better hang on to their hats because the ride’s not over yet guys!!

After following these two amazing souls over the past eighteen months it’s only natural we all want to know what exactly the future holds for their romance. And what a passionate ball of fire it’s been!

So I thought I’d be nosy and give the readers a little bit of an insight into what’s going on at the moment, so I dug deep into my equally exciting bag of crystals and set them to work their magic. These crystals have told many a good story over the years and when used together with my Tarot cards the accuracy is astonishing.

Ok, so let’s start with the beautiful Zara. And here we have the Judgement card.

This card when laying upright is indicative of a period of one’s life that calls for reflection. This card means that the person needs to look at their life and have a long hard think. It’s exactly as it says on the tin; a period of reckoning. Sorting out the head and throwing out the things, thoughts and if need be, the people that make us feel bad about ourselves or generally negative. So it seems that in the coming months the lovely Zara is going to have some soul searching to do.

The next card to make an appearance, and somewhat unsurprisingly, is the Moon. Now this card can vary in meaning depending on the cards surrounding it, however, in this case, as it has turned over reversed it indicates confusion and apprehension. Given the position of the Judgement card this provides further evidence of the soul searching Credit: Instagram/Zara McDermott)

and thought digging that the lovely Zara has to endure.

However, interestingly enough the final card that has turned over for her is the Justice card. This is a wonderful card when turned upright as it indicates clarity and truth. The end of heavy thoughts, wondering, and all the other things our heads churn over with intent on giving us a headache!

It looks as if this beautiful lady will certainly have to work hard in the early part of the New Year to free herself of some emotional baggage and this will be when she’s ready and emotionally strong enough to face her relationship with courage and a new-born determination So, let’s take a look at her beau, Sam. Well, we don’t need to be psychic to know that this year has been tough on Sam. It seems as though this guy has spent the best part of the year trying to keep his head above the emotional ocean waves trying to make sense of things and deciding what he can do for the best. There’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that he loves Zara and is doing what he can to leave the thoughts of her betrayal behind him, but unfortunately, this is a very hard thing to do. His path in this life time is to learn the art of forgiveness and as with all of life’s lessons – they’re not easy. So, without further ado, let’s have a look at his cards. Well, card number 1 in the upright position is Temperance. I personally like this card. It shows steadiness. Patience. The ability to stand strong when necessary.

Where life deals a hard blow, this card shows the strength to face it, challenge it, assess it and finally and logically attend to it in a non emotional fashion.

It’s the realisation that life isn’t always going to be a bowl of cherries, but if we’re smart enough to spit out the stones we won’t break our teeth.

That’s a very good card.

The second card is the Chariot. Another powerful card. The Chariot indicates willpower, self-control and direction. All the ingredients required to make a man emotionally strong.

Card number three is the Magician. This is card that indicates the ability to manifest all the things the other cards were hoping and wishing for.

All in all, I would say that these two are not going to have an easy time of it in the coming months, and there may be a few tears along the way. But I would not be surprised if they managed to kiss goodbye to their problems. They both have what it takes and I wish them all the best.

Philip Garcia - Celebrity Astrologer

Living alone during a pandemic

Joan was almost 80 when her husband died. They'd been together over 50 years, spending their adult lives doing everything together. They raised a family, pulled through times of financial hardship, dealt with his later life health concerns, all the while sustaining a strong relationship and a secure happy home.

Like many couples they'd each had their own areas of responsibility, with Joan primarily running the household. Upon being widowed she'd had to learn to deal with all the 'other' things; the finances, the car, arranging necessary home repairs.

All outside of her comfort zone, but she persevered.

Being alone she was determined not to be a burden to anyone else and had contacted several local social clubs and groups geared to older people. She learned to play bridge, joined a weekly walking and lunch group, enrolled in classes for Tai Chi and Egyptology, attended a weekly talk with the University of the Third Age. Many of these activities were within a twenty-minute walk of her home, a pleasant bonus on a nice day.

She'd rejoined a weekly whist group and attended a musical social once a month. All in all, there were interesting social activities in her diary every day of the week, bringing with them associated conversations, relationships and friendships.

Joan had never been interested in technology and so had never learned to use a computer or get to grips with a mobile phone. The regular entries in her social diary were her way of maintaining contact with the outside world and it worked well, giving her something to do each day. Once a week she'd do her supermarket shop and then attend her various clubs.

These activities provided much of what she needed; routine, motivation, they brought order to the day, stimulus, human contact, mental and physical exercise, plus a reason to dress up and leave the house.

But now she's in the position of finding herself with all semblance of normal life gone. A lady who is fit, elderly and living alone now has to reorient herself to a very different, solitary way of life.

Since the pandemic it's become apparent that there are many people like Joan, people who are also 'not a bother' to anyone, who are elderly, fit, independent and who live alone. They have, until now, maintained a structure to their days, with various clubs and groups enabling them to lead meaningful, active, satisfactory, sociable lives.

At the start of the pandemic all these clubs and activities had to close and there is no reopening date in sight. Their members have lost the lifeline to their interesting day-to-day lives. Many will not have access to online activity, don't want or need social services or charities to intervene, but simply need the structure of their lives to return.

Yes, they may have loving families who try to keep in contact, who may be allowed to visit with care, but the loss of independence and way of life for older people who are living alone, still taking good enough care of themselves, who are fit and mobile, is bound to seriously affect their mental and physical ability and agility.

With their friendship groups disbanded it's not easy to keep in touch with people who may be 'friends', but who in reality are only light or nodding acquaintances, people with whom they may share pleasantries.

Consequently, much interest in life and the motivation to do things also diminishes. Routine chores and television can only sustain for so long!

And in the future when these places do reopen how many older people will have the courage or enthusiasm to venture back after so many months of cautionary messages and fear? Lockdown for them may well be a sentence to the end of their lives outside of their homes.

Cash & Career Your restless energy will make it hard for you to get into any kind of routine early in the year. Just refrain from destructive behaviour that might put pressure on your closest relationships or damage your financial status. If things in your life keep going wrong, you may need to change direction before you see a positive outcome. Rushing into financial deals without considering the consequences could be cause for regret in the summer as it won’t be easy to dissolve these transactions. A stalled career or financial opportunity will start to move forward as the year ends.

n r o c i r p a C

Love & Life Your priority as the year begins will be to find ways to let go of past issues that are preventing you from moving forward. Holding onto old hurts will take its toll on your emotional health and selfesteem. Forgiving yourself and others for wrongs of the past will be a good start. There will be a need to get together with a partner or close friend in the summer to decide whether you are both aiming for similar goals. If it turns out you want different things, find a way to compromise.

Cash & Career Money is tight as the year begins. Friends who are also experiencing financial hardship will be relieved when you suggest postponing arrangements that are likely to cost a lot of money. Career decisions in April will enable you to take practical steps to reach a professional goal. Let go of ideas that aren’t working in September.

January Horoscopes from Russell Grant

New Moon - 13th Full Moon - 28th

ARIES You’ve got your mind on money and money on your mind at the beginning of the month. Pursuing a lucrative job is worth the time and effort. Dress the part of a confident professional for interviews, even if you are meeting via video conference. You could get a solid job offer on the 13th, courtesy of the career oriented New Moon. This could mark an exciting professional transformation.

Neither a lender nor a borrower be during the second part of the month, when a friend exaggerates their ability to repay debts. The Full Moon on the 28th warns against getting swept off your feet by a charming suitor. Mercury goes retrograde on the 30th, prompting you to make some revisions to your social activities.

TAURUS Your drive and determination will skyrocket in the first week of January; take this opportunity to pursue a lofty goal. Flirting with someone from a foreign country is a distinct possibility; late evening Skype or Facetime sessions could pass the time nicely. The 13th could find you signing up for an advanced course with a talented and forward-thinking organisation that could have a profound impact on your outlook. Embracing your authenticity during the middle of the month will cause your popularity to soar; do your best to stand apart from the crowd.

On the 28th, the Full Moon could mark the end of a career path, turning you in a more rewarding direction. It’s possible you’ll go back to work for an employer that always treated you well.

GEMINI The beginning of January brings the intellectual stimulation you crave. This is a great time to attend some advanced and engaging courses in your favourite subject; online learning will be engrossing. Don’t let fear of looking foolish keep you from asking probing questions or discussing interesting theories. The New Moon on the 13th will bring a financial windfall in the form of a refund check, insurance payment, or court settlement. Use this money to put a down payment on something that will bring long-term security. During the second half of January, the Full Moon could bring some unexpected news about a community matter. Take time to process this upheaval. At the end of the month, a legal matter that you thought was settled could resurface.

CANCER An intimate relationship will occupy most of your time and attention during the first half of the month. Whether you live with your significant other or chatting online is immaterial; these flirtatious conversations will be the highlight of your days. On the 13th, the New Moon could mark a big change in your relationship status. Getting engaged, married, or divorced is a distinct possibility.

This shift will put you on an empowering path that allows you to realise your full potential. A source of income could come to an end as February draws near, due to a disruptive Full Moon.

Working on a commission basis will improve your financial situation in the closing days of the month; this assignment will be temporary but lucrative.

LEO Finding ways to be of service could bring great fulfilment in the opening days of the month. Donate your time, money and resources to a worthy cause. The New Moon on the 13th beckons you to begin a fitness regimen. Toning your body and building muscle will boost your energy and improve your outlook.

Career demands could put strain on a close relationship in the second half of January; it’s important to put your cards on the table with a romantic partner.

Resist the urge to change your look towards the end of January, when the Full Moon could tempt you to doing something drastic. Someone from your past could try to reconnect with you in the final days of January; beware.

VIRGO Matters of the heart are the focus in the beginning of January. If you’re looking for love, post a profile on a dating website; you will generate lots of interest. If you’re already in a serious relationship, you should only proceed with caution and if you’re not in a relationship don’t jump into the deep end too impetuously even if you’re limited to talking via Skype or FaceTime. The New Moon on the 13th could find you getting swept off your feet by an ardent admirer. Let yourself get carried away. Alternatively, you could get engaged or make a serious romantic commitment. On the 28th, the Full Moon will bring a secret to light; prepare for a shock. A former employer could offer you a job in the final days of the month.

LIBRA Abandoning yourself to domestic pursuits will be pleasurable at the beginning of January. It’s a great time to decorate, clear out clutter and make upgrades to your abode. On the 13th, the New Moon could prompt you to relocate to a more congenial area. This move will have a profound impact on your emotions. Instead of putting up with a toxic situation, you’ll leave the past behind and embrace a more rewarding lifestyle. Your association with a creative group could come to an end near the 28th, due to a contentious Full Moon. Going solo will feel liberating. An ex-lover might try to reconnect with you in the last days of January. Carefully consider whether you want to get involved again.

SCORPIO Money matters look likely to be coming first and foremost in your thinking as you start the New Year.

Of course you will want to think things through rationally and make some longer-term decisions that will help keep your finances on a steady course throughout the coming months. The middle of January will begin to bring some positive results of these financial decisions and also for other plans and projects you set in motion during the last few months of last year. As January begins to fade and February starts to loom large you may find yourself rethinking some aspects of your life.

Professional and personal relationships may need to be reassessed. Some long-held views and values may no longer be appropriate and you will feel a growing need to find a new way forward.

SAGITTARIUS Increasing your income should be your focus in the first half of the month.

Applying for lucrative jobs, starting a business, or courting wealthy clients are all good possibilities at the beginning of January. The fruits of your labour could pay off around the middle of January, when the New Moon could deposit a dream job in your lap. Beware of divulging secrets in the last half of January; indiscretion could bite you where it hurts. Towards the end of the month, the Full Moon could force you to cancel a trip or withdraw from an academic program. Politeness can help getting the refund on a deposit. Watching a documentary or reading an article could dramatically change your views on an issue in the last days of the month.

CAPRICORN All eyes will be on you at the start of January. Use your powerful charisma to win favours, conquer hearts and secure jobs. Look your best and seize every opportunity to promote your agenda. The New Moon on the 13th is perfect for changing your look or upgrading your wardrobe. Investing in your appearance will pay off handsomely. Assuming additional work responsibilities during the second half of the month could pave the way to a big promotion and raise.

Watch the days following the 28th, when a distressing Full Moon could bring an end to payments from a legal settlement or royalty agreement. The final days of January will find you thinking of ways to increase your earned income.

AQUARIUS Keeping a low profile will be the order of the day in early January.

Home improvement projects could be especially engrossing, deepening your enjoyment of domestic pursuits. On the 13th, the New Moon will prompt you to devote more time to spiritual pursuits. Don’t try to sweep a troubling family matter under the rug in the second half of the month. The sooner you face the truth of a relative’s health problems, the easier it will be for the entire group to rally together.

The Full Moon on the 28th will mark a big change in a close relationship; it’s possible a strong union will fall by the wayside.

During the final days of January, you’ll radically change the way you share ideas.

PISCES January begins on a sociable note. Even if you are only communicating via Zoom or Skype, you’ll greatly enjoy communications with your nearest and dearest. Thanks to the support you get from loved ones, you may be inspired to change your look or image. The New Moon on the 13th may find you joining a group of influential people who are dedicated to making the world a better place. Beware of making promises you can’t deliver during the second half of the month; you’ll tend to overestimate your abilities. The Full Moon on the 28th might prompt you to quit a job that is spiritually depleting. A recurring dream will get your attention during the final days of the month.

Joseph asks “Is there anything I can do spiritually to boost my mood, or crystals that help with this particular time of year?

It has been a strange year for relationships and the ongoing pandemic is having an impact on everyone's life and relationships, for better and for worse.

Winter Skincare

Winter is already here, and for many of us, that means a daily battle with dry, sensitive and flaky skin. As the humidity drops, skin starts to tighten, and some people are more vulnerable than others. No matter what your skin type, it’s vital to protect your skin with an awesome winter skincare routine.

You need to create a robust skincare routine because it can help keep your skin’s natural barrier strong and protected until spring. Lathering moisturiser on every day isn’t the best solution, you need a plan of action, and here’s how you do it.

A Quick Side Note: Eat to Make Your Skin Strong For some reason, this isn’t ever mentioned in regular winter skincare articles, but it’s essential for supporting and boosting your skincare routine. Eating fish like salmon and mackerel will give you a boost of healthy omega-3 fatty acids, which has consistently been found to improve the skin’s barrier, making it supple and hydrated.

You should aim to eat a lot of vegetables too, including avocados, walnuts, sunflower seeds, sweet potatoes, bell peppers, broccoli and tomatoes. All have been shown to improve skin health and boost its natural barrier, keeping it firm and hydrated.

Winter Skincare Routines For Different Skin Types There’s no one solution when it comes to skincare. Many of you are probably already aware of this and know that finding the right products is a serious case of trial and error. You can give yourself a head start by identifying your skin type and knowing what ingredients/products work best for you.

Gentle Face Wash The first step to winter skincare is to wash your face. You’ll be amazed at how many people just splash their faces with water, which does very little for your skin’s health. Instead, use a gentle wash product twice a day (morning and night) before applying any other products. ◊ Combination or Oily Skin — use a light foaming cleanser. ◊ Sensitive Skin — use a gel cleanser. ◊ Dry Skin — use a cream or lotion cleanser. ◊ Very Dry/Eczema-Prone Skin — use cleansing balms or cold cream cleansers.

A gentle face wash will help to remove any dirt, grease or grime from your pores without stripping the skin of its natural oils. If you have very sensitive skin, avoid any cleanser using soap or fragrance. Opt for natural products where possible, avoiding harsh chemicals.

Moisturise

Sun Cream

Moisturising is an absolute must, and no person should go a day without moisturising at least once. As the humidity drops, your skin loses moisture and needs a boost in hydration to stay healthy.

Sun cream in winter? You bet! Sun cream should be worn all year round, even in the blisteringly cold winter months. Just because it’s cold, does not mean the sun is any less damaging to your skin.

Applying a sun cream each day will help to keep skin hydrated and protected, and it can even repair sun-damaged skin.

Without a boost in hydration, it’s easy for your skin to become vulnerable to the elements. This can lead to dry, irritated and sensitive skin. It can also trigger skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Here are your options for moisturisers: Combination or Oily Skin — lightweight moisturisers that are oil-free or nongreasy, try to find products containing hyaluronic acid.

Sensitive Skin — fragrance-free and natural ingredients only.

Dry Skin — rich creams or lotions with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides.

Very Dry/Eczema-Prone Skin — powerful and rich creams and gels, look for ingredients like shea butter, hyaluronate and ceramides.

When trying to deal with very dry skin, why not test out some K-Beauty products? The K-Beauty movement is centred around super-hydration for the skin, making its products very popular among those with dry and eczema/acne-prone skin all around the world.

Key ingredients to look out for include vitamin E, which naturally helps to protect the skin from the sun’s UV light, and Photolyase, which will help heal any damaged skin in the process.

Always buy a sun cream that offers at least 30SPF. Combination or Oily Skin — look for ingredients like green tea, tea tree oil or niacinamide to help control oil production.

Sensitive Skin — keep it natural, and only buy products with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.

Dry Skin — aim for ingredients like ceramides, glycerin and hyaluronic acid to add moisture.

Very Dry/Eczema-Prone Skin — Follow the advice for dry skin, and keep it natural.
