Celebrity Predictions from Philip Garcia

Carol Kirkwood All Peaches and Cream A peaches and cream complexion and an English Rose Vibe, Carol Kirkwood is British class. Her particular fame ball got rolling as a weather presenter on Scottish TV. She was trained by the Met office and later employed by the BBC, going on to excel on TV "Breakfast" shows and "Strictly...." type fun and frolics.

She was always one of the girls, down to earth, ready to do her bit, helpful, she is sensible and she is a Sun in Gemini, Moon in Aries to boot. So, do not be surprised if her neatly packed suitcase is ready by the door. She likes to be "ready" for the next challenge. In fact, that Gemini Sun Sign results in her loving "organised" simply because it is always best to know where things are when luck comes to call all of a sudden, which in her case has been many times!

Sun in Gemini ensures Carol likes to communicate, to meet people, she loves humanity. She cannot understand why people are always at each others' throats, why they bicker and cause each other so much pain. If it were for Carol everyone would get on. Everyone would reason with their heads, rather than their lower guts, clarifying their issues, and getting down to brass tacks.

Her well placed astro teacher, Saturn, instructs her on how to overcome obstacles so life is plain sailing and she has enough stamina to work through problems, to be counted on, to take responsibility. She is air sign sensitive, intense, quick off the mark, she assesses people, almost psychically; yet don’t go New Age on her, she does not do Woo Woo. She does however do plunging necklines and red dresses.

When she took over from weather man Matt Taylor in that body hugging red dress, one fan wrote,

“Hi Carol, looking absolutely stunning in red today, missed the weather as couldn't keep my eyes off you!!!!”

Did She Know how Lovely she Looked?

The sixty-four-thousand-dollar question is did Carol happen to have that red dress in her wardrobe, and did she also just happen to know how lovely she looked in it? With Moon in Aries she probably under estimates her sexual charisma even if she likes people to notice her.

That Aries moon makes her restless, she needs comfort zones, even if she likes a challenge! In any case, it was probably the BBC wardrobe department who put her in that “Change My World” dress, and she decided to go for it just as she decided to declare her crush on Bryan Adams publicly!

Always ready to gush about Bryan, she even did so at Wimbledon in 2016. When she was interviewed to celebrate her final day reporting on the weather there, she reiterated how amazing she thought Bryan Adams was. "What's not to like about Bryan Adams, He's easy on the eye” she said. “He is so unassuming for someone that is so hugely talented."

A tad of projection there perhaps Carol, because like Bryan she is unassuming and yes, hugely talented. With a well placed Mercury shinning down on her, she is also reserved and analytical; helpful, “hail fellow well met!” as she backs others up teamwork style.

A Cold Wind…

Carol did not manage to back up her dance partner as she struggled through her Cha Cha on Strictly in 2016 and Judge Craig cut in with “the cold front did blow in and you did not survive it” pun! Perhaps he did not realise that our Carol can survive anything! Planet Saturn in a nifty astro position makes sure of that. She survived being on the BBC secretarial team years ago. She soldiered on to win the TRIC award for best Weather Presenter six times! She even received an Honorary Fellowship from HRH Princess Anne for her contribution to broadcasting.

Mr. Saturn ensures she wins through all her battles because she is so nice, because she is sensible, because she thrives on asking questions and accumulating knowledge. Unlike many celebs, wise Saturn helps this lovely lady keep tabs on her ego and cut back on self-righteous attitudes. The result is she gets along with almost everyone; she finds the balance. She works the rota.

So Romantic!

Venus in Cancer encourages romanticism, but in a self-protective, way. Her shell can be hard when hurt. Yet she is a kind sweet romantic, good friend and partner, she thrives in cosy secure emotional atmospheres, may be because sometimes she gets lost in a smorgasbord of indefinable yet strong feelings. But as far as her career is concerned Venus in Cancer sees it flowering, nurturing her, just as decorating her home, gardening and plumping her cushions heals her.

She has a big heart and is a closet homebody! Mercury in Gemini ensures those great communication skills always mean she is ready to learn, ready to add spice to her life with new found knowledge. Mr Mercury also ensures she remains an integrated, self-made lady who leapt off the cliff and ended up flying! She is about to touch cloud nine. she is ready to pack her suitcase and take off for yet another journey!

Relax and take a deep breath and see which image you’re drawn towards.

Silent Witness returns to celebrate its 20th anniversary!

BBC One’s popular drama Silent Witness returns to celebrate its 20th anniversary this January, featuring five thrilling new contemporary stories that start among the familiar landscapes of London and end up in the dusty scrubland of Mexico.

Moment Of Surrender - Part one: Starts at 9pm on BBC One on 8th January.

Haunted by her experiences in Mexico, Nikki Alexander (Emilia Fox) is struggling to come to terms with life back home. Whilst on leave she seeks out fellow pathologist Sally Vaughan (Emma Fielding) for support. However, a few days later and troubled by the failure of Sally to return her calls, Nikki heads to her house only to find that it has become a crime scene and Sally is nowhere to be found.

NCA Investigator Guy Bernhardt (Alex McQueen) asks Nikki to help him by employing the chief suspect in Sally’s disappearance, pathologist David Cannon (Julian Rhind-Tutt, pictured) at the Lyell. As a result Nikki returns early, much to the surprise of Jack (David Caves) and Clarissa (Liz Carr) with David in tow.

As Jack, Clarissa and Thomas (Richard Lintern) share concerns about Nikki’s wellbeing, a body is found in a reservoir - uncovering the mystery of a 16 year-old murder case.

‘PRAMA’ …The new fitness craze for 2018!

The new year is often a time to hit the gym to try to recover from the Christmas treats but the thought of the treadmill and rowing machine can sometimes lead to boredom and make the visits to the gym hard work before you even get changed. It can also be a solitary time as you exercise alone without friends or family, relying on your favourite tunes to keep you entertained.

So the latest fitness craze of ‘Prama’ could be just the motivation you’re looking for if you’re wanting to have fun and shed some pounds. Prama uses interactive flooring and flashing lights to tell participants their next move in a fun and innovative way.

“It’s suggested that a 45 minute work out can burn over 1,000 calories…”

A spokesperson from David Lloyd said “We want families to have fun and exercise together. Forget rowers, treadmills and spin bikes, PRAMA reacts directly to feet hitting the floor, hands pressing the walls and equipment slamming the ground.”

The PRAMA studio is set out with stations and in a similar format to a circuits class, participants move between stations at set times. As the brightly coloured, interactive floor lights up, class members will run, skip and even lunge across the studio, chasing the lights and dropping to the floor to touch lit-up stations.

The PRAMA studio can be programmed to suit different abilities, meaning it’s perfect for everything from agility training to families exercising together.

When parents attend with their kids - aged five and upwards - the sequence of workouts changes to a slower paced combination of moves that sees kids doing hopscotch and families working in tandem to run and touch walls or targets on the floor.

Those who want to use PRAMA for agility training, the class can be programmed to a faster and more difficult setting, so that participants move from station to station more quickly and are prompted by the lights to move faster, lunge deeper and use heavier weights.

Carlie Barlow, Group Family Support Manager for David Lloyd Clubs explains, ‘In the PRAMA studio we are focusing on something unique; PRAMA combines great instructors, lights and music with workouts designed for all levels of fitness. At David Lloyd Clubs we’ve designed PRAMA programmes for everyone to enjoy, from energetic five year olds to our sassy senior members.’

PRAMA is now timetabled at the Port Solent and Bushey clubs and free for members. It is due to roll out to further David Lloyd Clubs in 2018

Here’s to an amazing 2018..

Happy New Year and Happy New You..!

Aries 2018 LUCK The majority of your luck this year will come in the form of unearned income. From January 1st through to November 8th, you could receive an inheritance, windfall or insurance payment. Are you in a committed relationship? Your partner could get a high-paying job that indirectly benefits you. At long last, you’ll be able to afford some luxuries that have been out of your reach for far too long. Going on a relaxing holiday to a beautiful seaside resort is a strong possibility. Your love life will also get a boost during this period, helping you to forge an intense bond with the one you love. If you’re looking for a partner, you could find one when you’re out and about doing the things you enjoy doing during the first ten months of the year. By the time November arrives, you’ll be able to broaden your horizons in exciting ways.

Travelling overseas, publishing a piece of writing or undertaking a serious course of study are all possibilities. You might also get a chance to live and work abroad, which would be terrific.

MONEY Your career prospects are very strong throughout 2018. Take this opportunity to go for the sort of work that pays well and gives you lots of job satisfaction.

Exercising your leadership skills will increase your success. Beware of taking a gamble at the end of January, when a Lunar Eclipse could cause a surefire deal to fall through. It’s better to keep your hard earned cash in the bank at this time. If you want a pay rise, the first three weeks of April are ideal for making your case. It will be virtually impossible for your employer to turn you down during this enriching period.

Unusual moneymaking opportunities will arise after May 16th;ventures related to technology and air travel are looking especially good. Do you have a business or romantic partner? They could be making big bucks between January and November, which improves your financial standing. Take this opportunity to open a retirement or savings account. Adding to this fund regularly will make it possible for you retire early and live comfortably.

LIFE You’ll continue to march to the beat of your own drum for the first five months of the year.

During this period, it’s better to stand out from the crowd than blend in with them. From the middle of May onwards your income might become more erratic. It’s possible you will choose to work on a freelance basis. Alternatively, your income could be commission based, leading to periods of feast and famine. Learning to put some money away into savings will help you get through the lean times. Your values could undergo a significant change, too.

Instead of wanting cutting edge equipment, you may develop an affection for unique antiques. Leading a more placid lifestyle will help you connect with your spiritual side.

Communing with nature could take on a new importance for you. Visiting the countryside will be preferable to going to busy, bustling cities. There’s also a good chance you will take more time to prepare nurturing, home cooked meals. Changing your diet will greatly benefit your health. So can practicing relaxation techniques. Slow down and smell the flowers.

Taurus 2018 LUCK Partnerships will be a source of good fortune for you this year. If you want to start your own business, consider taking on a silent partner.

Working with someone who has extensive experience in the field will help you avoid expensive pitfalls. Are you looking for work?

Joining an employment agency can help you land your dream job. Performing artists can benefit from a great agent or manager. Are you looking for a new home? Work with an expert who has an impressive track record.

Having someone to represent your interests from January through to November will pay off handsomely. During the last two months of the year, you may get an unexpected boost to your bank balance. An inheritance, dividend or legal settlement will help you achieve financial security. Use this windfall to put a deposit on a car or home. If you have a romantic partner, they could land a lucrative job, allowing you to afford luxuries that were previously out of reach. Improved finances will also draw you closer together.

MONEY Working for a company based overseas could be extremely profitable in 2018.

Alternatively, if you are seeking employment, think seriously about living abroad. Working for an educational, religious or cultural institution will improve your financial status and increase your professional success. If your employer offers paid training, take advantage of the program. Earning advanced qualifications at no personal expense to you is a great deal. An especially exciting career opportunity will arrive near February 15th, when a Solar Eclipse puts you in line for a lucrative job. You want a pay rise, and who doesn’t? Go for one between April 25th and May 19th, when your prospects for earning more money are strong. Your very best chances for increasing your income will arrive via a business or romantic partner. Their moneymaking abilities will have a big impact on your own lifestyle.

Paying off debts and establishing financial security is a possibility between November 8th and the end of the year. You could also take out a bank loan or refinance your mortgage during this enriching period.

LIFE Get ready to change gear in 2018. The year ahead will see you delving deeply into a philosophy, religious practice or advanced course of study. If you feel the urge to go on a spiritual pilgrimage, do it. Instead of clinging to the ideas that were passed on to you during childhood, you’ll start developing a belief system that resonates with your morals. This could cause some strain on the family front, particularly near January 31st, when a Lunar Eclipse creates stress on the domestic front. Changing your look, assuming a different lifestyle or adopting another belief system are all possibilities from the middle of May onwards. Instead of worrying about what others think, you’ll be intent on being true to yourself. This will be liberating. Instead of clinging to traditional modes of thought, you’ll be more likely to experiment. This will especially come through in your creative work.

Gemini 2018 LUCK Work will be downright enjoyable for most of 2018. If you are self-employed, you’ll easily attract business and build a great client list for yourself. It’s a good time to hire people, as you’ll find candidates with good experience and upbeat attitudes. These new members of staff will give your business zip and zest. You’ll also feel incredibly robust between January and early November. If you’ve been struggling with a health problem, you’ll be able to pinpoint the source of the trouble with a perceptive doctor.

Therapeutic procedures are slated to go well, particularly between January and March 10th and then again between July 11th & November 8th. Once the second week of November arrives, your good fortune will focus on the realm of partnerships. Forming a business or romantic alliance will pay off handsomely. You’ll feel a deep kinship with someone who is as free spirited and adventurous as you. There’s a good chance your cultural backgrounds will be markedly different. Being together will give you a fresh appreciation for life. You’ll have time and the inclination to enjoy blessings you normally overlook.

MONEY Conserving your resources will be your greatest challenge this year. Although you’ll have no trouble finding a work with a nice pay packet attached, it will be tempting to spend money as soon as it hits your bank account. Get into the habit of automatically diverting a percentage of each month’s salary into a savings account. Stashing away money for a rainy day will empowering. A windfall in the form of an inheritance, royalty payment or insurance refund could arrive during the first three weeks of January, allowing you to pay off some debts. Do you want a pay rise? Ask for one between May 20th and June 13th, when your prospects for increasing your income are strong. There is an excellent chance you will form a profitable partnership during the last two months of the year. Whether you form a business alliance with a talented executive or hitch your wagon to someone with more money than you is immaterial; this relationship will enrich you.

LIFE Your career will usually be a source of creative fulfilment for you, but If you’re not happy with your current job, you could find an excellent position in the film, fashion or photography industry. Working for a non-profit organisation could also be rewarding. When it comes to finding work, look for opportunities that will bring emotional fulfilment. Over the past few years, your social life has been a top priority. You’ve enjoyed mixing and mingling with a wide range of people. By mid-May, this trend could die down. You may prefer to spend quality time alone, developing art projects and doing spiritual work. Solitary activities will support good health. When you start feeling frazzled, stop, look around and smell the flowers.

Indulging your sensual side will be an effective way of releasing nervous tension. As Christmas approaches, you’ll become more outgoing. You’ll go back to your sociable ways in early November. Throughout the year, you’ll be challenged to be more discerning about the company you keep. A serious romance will take precedence over casual friendships.

Cancer 2018 LUCK The time between January 1st and November 8th is excellent for taking emotional, financial and even creative risks. You’re cautious by nature, which sometimes leads to feelings of boredom and listlessness. Rest assured that trying new things will work to your advantage for most of the coming year. Whatever direction your ambitions and aspirations may take this is the year to grasp the nettle and do something about them. You will not be disappointed. By November 9th, your luck will take another form. The daily routines of life will become much easier. You’ll feel brighter and better and there’s a good chance you’ll find a job you absolutely love. If you’ve been struggling with nagging aches and pains, you’ll finally find a medical professional who locates the source of trouble. Changing your diet or exercise routine will be a small price to pay for feeling fantastic. If you’ve been thinking of adopting a pet, wait for the last two months of the year, when you’ll find a perfect companion that gives you a new lease on life.

You’ll feel an instant connection when you look into this animal’s eyes.

MONEY A source of income will come to an end on or around January 31st, due to a Lunar Eclipse. This will be a blessing in disguise. If you are, or want to be, self-employed it will be very rewarding for the first five months of the year. You may find work as a consultant, freelance or temp. A friend or former colleague will help you find more steady employment around August 11th, when an empowering Solar Eclipse helps you land a job that truly engages you. This position will involve a great deal of socialising. Take every opportunity to attend meetings and expand your professional network. Are you in a serious relationship? Money could be the source of a power struggle. Having your own income will take the pressure off. Moneymaking opportunities will dramatically improve once November 9th arrives. If you’re offered an entry level position at a big company, take it. You’ll quickly rise through the ranks and get a better paid position soon. This job will probably involve lots of travel, so make sure your passport is up to date.

LIFE Relationships will take on a new importance this year. If you have a marriage or business partner, it will be very important to assert yourself in this union. Letting your other half take the lead at all times could lead to anger and resentment. It’s possible you will leave your current place of work so you can spend more time with your friends and family. Building a loving support network will allow you to realise your full potential. A homebody like you sometimes has difficulty going further afield. Once you arrive at your destination, your delightful sense of humour will emerge and you’ll enjoy the exotic atmosphere. A fitness programme will yield impressive results after November 9th. Try getting exercise on a daily basis throughout the year and don’t be discouraged if the benefits are not instantly noticeable. They will be at the end of the year. Once Christmas arrives, you’ll look and feel better than ever before.

Leo 2018 LUCK Home is where the heart is for the majority of the year. Between January and early November, you’ll have a chance to move to somewhere that makes your heart sing with happiness.

There’s a chance your place will be a calm and restful haven away from prying eyes. Although you enjoy the spotlight, you need a home that allows you to decompress in private. If you have no intention of moving, you could make some improvements to your place. Upgrading your bathroom to a home spa will bring lots of enjoyment. You might also decide to add water features to your garden, whether it’s something as grand as a swimming pool or as simple as a fountain or even a small pond. By November 9th, your luck will take the form of romance, fun and adventure. Spend the last two months of the year taking risks. Venturing into unknown territory will pay off handsomely. Don’t be afraid to take a chance and take a leap of faith. Scale back on regular routines in favour of adventure, enterprise and dream chasing during this magical period.

MONEY You will always need to keep a close eye on joint finances during the year ahead. If you have a joint account with your business or romantic partner, monitor its activity closely. You don’t want to be responsible for somebody else’s big bills or erratic spending. The same principle holds true for your credit cards. Look out for any unauthorised activity. If the interest rate soars on one account, cancel it and get a card with more reasonable terms. An unusual career opportunity could arrive between mid-May and early November.

Working for a hi-tech firm, airline or research and development firm could be very lucrative. Alternatively, you could land a job specialising in luxury goods at a start-up company. You’ll be expected to take on a new layer of responsibilities in 2018, the going may be tough, but the rewards will make it all worthwhile. Don’t be surprised if your role changes several times throughout the year. Treat every assignment as a learning opportunity.

LIFE You will experience several important personal transformations this year. On January 31st, you will end a role that has prevented you from spending quality time with your nearest and dearest. It will be a relief to be able to arrange your lifestyle without constantly referring to others. A business or romantic alliance formed on February 15th will increase your opportunity to do the things you love. Spending more time on hobbies and sports will give you an attractive glow that is hard to resist. You could choose to take on a higher profile role at work starting in mid-May Instead of following a boring formula, you’ll offer something unique to customers. If you want to launch a new product or service, do so in the middle of July, when an empowering Solar Eclipse will attract favourable publicity. As a result of this success, you’ll feel able to take a prolonged holiday at the end of the year. Travelling the world between November 9th & December 31st will bring happiness & a new appreciation of what you have.

Virgo 2018 LUCK You’ve always been highly intelligent, but you’ll gather, glean and garner information especially quickly in 2018. The days between January 1st and November 8th are ideal for acquiring valuable new skills. Training and studying will be intellectually challenging and socially enjoyable. Be sure to pursue a subject that fills you with excitement. Studying something that bores you to death will be a waste of the luck that surrounds you. Once the second week of November arrives, your luck will centre around the domestic front. Whether you want to move into your own place, buy a home or downsize is immaterial. You have a chance to live in a place that is bright, beautiful and uplifting. More people could be added to your household, too. A roommate, elderly relative or child will add great joy to your home life. Welcome this addition with open arms. If you’ve always wanted to live abroad, you can make this happen in the final two months of the year. Look for work opportunities overseas. Experiencing a different way of life will be lovely.

MONEY For the past few years, you’ve been on the receiving end of some fiscal good fortune. This trend will continue, but it will slow down between mid-May and early November. It would be wise to cultivate other moneymaking opportunities in 2018.

If you want a lucrative job or deserve a pay rise, make your move between August 7th and September 10th, when you’ll be at your most ambitious, assertive and aspirational. The sudden expenses that have forced you to occasionally dip into savings will begin to slow down. Take this opportunity to build a nest egg that cultivates long term financial security. If you’ve ever dreamed about making money from your creative efforts, 2018 is a great year to do so. Hone your skills with a gifted teacher. Becoming a master craftsperson will help you make a living from your handiwork. It doesn’t matter if you bake, build furniture, or make jewellery. You can turn a handsome profit by selling your wares to those who appreciate creative skill and ingenuity.

Being your own boss will be a welcome change of pace.

LIFE Unexpected opportunities to travel will come your way between mid-May & early November.

If you get a chance to visit a distant destination, take it. Exploring unfamiliar territory will be an enjoyable, energising experience. As 2018 progresses, you’ll find it much easier to achieve your goals and get your needs met. Building things of lasting value will be especially rewarding. Whether you start a business, write a book or have a family is immaterial. The important thing is to pursue your heart’s desire. All the obstacles that blocked your path in 2017 will vanish. When you grow tired of working towards your dreams, you should turn to your best friend or romantic partner. They’ll work hard to boost your morale and give you the courage to continue. Hobbies can bring relief from work related stress, especially between January and November. After that, home life will be your very special therapy.

LIFE You’ll be challenged to deal with some troubling family matters this year. Caring for an elderly parent or the special needs of a child will cause you to reconsider your priorities. What seems like a terrible burden at first will quickly become a labour of love. Your love life will get an extra dose of passion. Don’t be surprised when your sensual side demands expression between May 16th and November 6th. Instead of living in your head all the time, you’ll develop a fresh appreciation for beautiful sights, sounds, scents, tastes and tactile sensations.

Enjoying more intimacy with your lover will be a critical component of this phase. If you’re single, you’ll attract an ardent admirer near August 11th, when a Solar Eclipse makes your charm irresistible. Let them indulge you with creature comforts.

Even taking a warm bath each night will help you relieve stress. 2018 has many marvellous opportunities for you, including improved health.

Scorpio 2018 LUCK You’ll be able to make a cherished dream come true in 2018, as long as you take advantage of the many opportunities coming your way. It’s not enough to want a good job; you have to update your CV, gather glowing references and go on interviews. The same goes for finding true love, achieving fame or finding fulfilment. If you put your energy into the people and activities you love for the first ten months of the year, you’ll be given a handsome reward after November 8th. This is also a good time to enhance your looks, either with a fitness programme, style update or professional makeover. The period between November 9th and December 31st will be fantastic for earning lots of money. Overseas business ventures are particularly potential packed, as well as business matters involving education, publishing and the law. It’s possible your job will be sending you on a series of trips, allowing you to travel on a lavish expense account. Getting paid to see the world will feel like the answer to a prayer.

MONEY A tense career situation will come to a close around January 31st, forcing you to take a second look at your earning potential. You could receive a nice little windfall between April 25th and May 19th, allowing you to be very discerning in your job search. Use any newly acquired wealth to cover your bills while looking for your dream position. If you can’t find regular employment during the first quarter of 2018, be open to doing freelance work. This will help you get your foot in the door of a good company. Your professional environment won’t be as frenetic as it has for the past few years.

Instead of being forced to work alongside people with a sketchy, distracted attitude towards work, you’ll be surrounded by talented professionals who don’t need to be pampered and petted like high-strung animals. Your financial outlook will dramatically alter after November 9th, when you are offered a great job at a company that is based overseas. If you get a chance to relocate, take it.

LIFE You’ll be the focus of attention for most of 2018, so make the most of it. Promote your agenda, showcase your creative work and pursue your heart’s desire. No matter what you’re doing, always make time to meditate, commune with nature, play music, write stories and make things of beauty. Beware of a tendency to worry. You’ll fare much better if you practice the power of positive thinking this year, even in the face of disappointment. A challenging business trip or test result could throw you off kilter on July 13th, thanks to a disruptive Solar Eclipse. Instead of beating yourself up for mishandling a golden opportunity, let your family help you recover from this setback. A Lunar Eclipse on July 27th will make you realise there is a silver lining to this cloud. Relocating to a more supportive, stimulating neighbourhood is a real possibility. Look for somewhere that will help you to be more physically active.

Sagittarius 2018 LUCK Keeping a low profile is probably the best way to find contentment throughout most of 2018.

You’re a highly sociable person, but the period between January 1st and November 8th will find you more introverted than unusual. Solitary pursuits like writing, reading and communing with nature will give you the sort of happiness money cannot buy. Working to make the world a better place will also attract good fortune during this magical period. If you are dismayed and frustrated by current events, get involved with an animal rescue group, environmental organisation or human rights institution. After November 9th, you’ll be ready to command the spotlight again. This will present an opportunity to realise a cherished dream. Whether you want to write a bestseller, launch a successful business or travel the world is immaterial. The important thing is to set lofty goals during the last two months of the year. The sky is the limit during this fateful phase. Improving your appearance is also a strong possibility; it’s a good time to get fit and upgrade your wardrobe.

MONEY Money won’t be flowing as freely as it has in the past and it will be challenging to live on a budget. By scaling back on impulse buys and making existing resources go further, you can live comfortably on what you earn. If you have your own business, employment will be sporadic between May 16th and November 6th. Instead of worrying about when your next pay will arrive, train yourself to enjoy your down time. Pour your energy into pleasant pursuits like hobbies, sports and studying.

You will get a financial boost on July 13th, when a Solar Eclipse triggers payments from an inheritance, investment plan or legal settlement. At times, you will have to exchange sharp words with the person in charge of paying out the cash. Know your rights and demand the money you deserve. If necessary a lawyer will come to your rescue during the final two months of the year, saving you a great deal of time and aggravation. Don’t begrudge this professional their fee. Thanks to their expertise, you’ll prevail in this struggle.

LIFE 2018 will mark several interesting changes for you. Learning to become more financially resourceful will be emotionally as well as economically rewarding. Instead of spending money on expensive gadgets, status symbols and trips, you’ll cultivate contentment with what you already have. Spending more time on close relationships and intellectual pursuits will make you realise you don’t need to earn lots of money to be happy. Superficial friendships will fall by the wayside, giving you more time for solitary pursuits. Reading, writing and communing with nature will take on a new significance this year, particularly between January and early November. The final two months of the year will find you assuming a more prominent role. At this point, you’ll be able to set the agenda. Stop telling yourself you lack the experience, confidence or assertiveness to make your dreams come true. If you keep working towards your goal, the hassles and hitches that have stood in your way will gradually disappear. Expect a breakthrough around December 7th.

Capricorn 2018 LUCK Your social life continues to bring lots of pleasure this year. Between January 1st and November 8th, you’ll be busy doing the rounds of parties and casual get togethers and of course you’ll be carrying a supply of business cards at all times. You’re sure to meet some influential people at these gatherings. Whether you’re looking for love, work or a plumber is immaterial. You will bump into the right people at the right time during the first ten months of the year. Once November 9th arrives, you’ll be ready to take a break from all this social activity. Devoting more time to solitary pursuits will fill you with a quiet pleasure. You’ll become indifferent to worldly pursuits like professional success, social status and material wealth.

Instead, you’ll cultivate contentment from simple activities like spending time with pets, developing creative projects and reading books. Adopting a lower profile will help you recharge your batteries and regain your strength. You’ll grow to enjoy your scaled-back schedule so much that you’ll break a destructive habit of working around the clock.

MONEY An income stream will come to an abrupt end around the end of January, due to a stressful Lunar Eclipse. Don’t panic. An exciting moneymaking opportunity will come along shortly after this financial hiccup. Keep your eyes open for work in the days surrounding February 15th, when new career options will become available.

A new role will give you a fresh lease on life, allowing you to develop innovative ideas that have tremendous social benefits.

Don’t be surprised if you’re given a pay rise towards the end of July, when another Lunar Eclipse causes your employer to realise you are worth your weight in gold.

Instead of increasing your standard of living, put your extra income into savings.

Opening a retirement fund in August would be a good thought, when a Solar Eclipse will pave the way for long term financial security. A profitable career opportunity will arrive on December 21st, drawing on your creative talent.

LIFE Leading a more disciplined life will help you reach heights you never thought possible in 2018.

Working hard puts your professional star in the ascendant. Don’t be surprised if you’re offered an upscale position with more responsibility. Influential friends will make sure you get the career opportunities you deserve. Don’t hesitate to ask them for references. The secret to your success is your personal idealism. Instead of telling everybody why proposals will go wrong, find ways to turn brilliant ideas into functioning systems. A business or romantic alliance will reach an important turning point on July 13th, when a Solar Eclipse prompts you to relinquish an element of control to your partner. Working with someone you trust will come as a relief. Although you’re capable of working long and hard, you can’t do everything by yourself. Rely on others to handle everyday operations and sensitive communications while you focus on the big picture. The final two months of the year could require you to relocate.

Your partner will find the perfect new home for you.

Aquarius 2018 LUCK Increased public recognition and professional success will be yours for the asking between January 1st and November 8th. There’s never been a better time to embark on your dream career. Authority figures are impressed by your organisational skill and fiscal prudence.

Presiding over a large workforce and operating within a tight budget will cause your star to rise.

If you’re not in the work force, there is a good chance you will form an alliance with an influential executive. Your partner will draw you into the spotlight, allowing you to champion your favourite causes. By early November, your lucky star will be shining on your social life.

Joining a club or charity will be extremely helpful. Don’t hesitate to ask well connected friends for favours during the last two months of the year. They’ll be happy to help. Pursuing a lifelong dream is strongly advised during this golden period. It will be easy to get the funding, publicity and official assistance you need. There is strength in numbers at the end of 2018 so give up some of your independent ways and be a team player.

MONEY Do you want a pay rise? Of course you do and the period between February 19th and March 7th is ideal for asking for one. If you are self-employed, take this opportunity to raise your prices. A Solar Eclipse on July 13th marks a work assignment that is more trouble than it is worth. You’ll spend most of your time with this assignment grappling with bureaucracy or officialdom. Fortunately, your career prospects are very strong through November 8th. Joining a new company might be an alternative.

Although the salary may not be impressive, there will be significant perks. Be sure to take advantage of a generous retirement program or profit-sharing scheme.

Contributing as much money as possible to this fund could help you retire early.

Throughout the entire year, you should keep an eye on all your financial statements. Regularly review your bank balance, card bills and investment reports.

If you see any unusual or unauthorised activity, report it immediately.

LIFE 2018 will be chock full of spectacular changes for you. A partnership could wither on the vine in late January, thanks to a dramatic Lunar Eclipse. This will free you up to embark on a new adventure on February 15th, thanks to an empowering Solar Eclipse. You’ll be able to wrap up this venture successfully near July 27th, due to a decisive Lunar Eclipse. A passionate relationship begun in mid-August could prompt you to relocate to a beautiful home during the second half of the year. Having a comfortable haven from public life will allow you to make the most of the career success that will follow you through early November. The last two months of the year will be filled with enjoyable social pursuits. Be sure to go to as many parties as possible during this expansive period. When you get tired of rubbing elbows with people from all walks of life, enjoy time alone with yourself. Reading, writing and communing with nature can have a therapeutic effect throughout the course of the year.

Pisces 2018 LUCK Opportunities to travel, study and expand your horizons will be coming thick and fast between January 1st and November 8th. Taking a trip overseas or going to an overseas university will be incredibly lucky for you. Legal or official matters will also be decided in your favour during this fateful period, so try wrapping up a case during the first ten months of the year. By November 9th, your career will get a tremendous boost. This would be an excellent opportunity to land your dream job especially if you’re looking for work involving publishing, higher education or the law. If you want to set up your own business this will be the time to lay some firm foundations. Taking part in a spiritual organisation is another possibility; this role will cause your good fortune to expand and grow.

Any new position you accept could involve a great deal of travel. Visiting distant destinations will open your mind to new ideas and influences and it will also increase your reputation as a natural diplomat who can work with people from all walks of life.

MONEY A job will come to an end near January 31st, due to a disruptive Lunar Eclipse.

Don’t worry. Your financial situation will stabilise starting on May 16th. For the past few years, you’ve experienced a feast-orfamine dynamic when it comes to money.

It will be much easier to find steady employment near August 11th, due to a stimulating Solar Eclipse. Although the prospect of taking a boring job won’t fill you with excitement, it will give you a chance to pay some debts. Once November 9th arrives, your career prospects will take a turn for the better. Your impressive work performance could lead to a promotion. Alternatively, you’ll get an opportunity to launch your own business.

Being your own boss will really appeal to your free spirit. You could also reap a different type of reward from working in a business with a humanitarian or charitable connection. Meetings during the last three weeks of 2018 will be productive. Your income will rise dramatically as the year progresses.

LIFE You are always highly sensitive to your environment throughout 2018. It’s essential to surround yourself with kind, supportive and like-minded people throughout the year. Don’t be surprised if your social circle gets a little smaller this year. When it comes to friendships, quality is more important than quantity. If you’re forced to choose between a romantic partner and a jealous clique in mid-July, pick the former. Loyal friends will help you make the most of your luck, helping you to travel extensively for the first ten months of the year. By November, your nearest and dearest can help you find and settle into a new role. The days between November 16th and the end of the year will be especially busy, when you’re able to promote your agenda with energy and enthusiasm. This is a great opportunity to sell merchandise, generate publicity and win favours. One thing is certain: You will be in the driver’s seat at the end of the year. Put the pedal to the metal and zoom into 2019 on a cloud of success.

Love your freezer and reduce food waste!

In the UK, we threw away over 7.3 million tonnes in 2015, according to the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee. With the rising cost of food and to help reduce the amount of food going into landfill, you can take some easy steps to ensure you reduce your food waste by falling back in love with your freezer again. Here are some foods you may not know you could freeze…

Although eggs can’t be frozen in their shells (as they explode) you can separate the yolks and whites into separate plastic containers or food bags before freezing.

This is great for baking. Alternatively, you can beat the egg before freezing which is perfect for scrambled eggs or omelettes. Use an airtight container, and label them with the date and how many eggs you used.

It’s always a challenge to find the perfect ripe Avocado as they can quickly turn an unappetising shade of brown.

Avocado’s can be frozen by cutting in half and removing the stone or mash up the avocado and add a dash of lime of lemon to help preserve it.

Fresh herbs can be frozen to retain their fresh flavour. Finely chop them and freeze them in freezer bags. Perfect for adding to curries & casseroles whilst they cook. You can also finely chop Ginger and freeze as this can often dry up quickly when stored in the fridge.

Whilst potatoes don’t like being stored in the fridge, they are perfect for freezing. Just boil the potatoes for around 5 minutes and then allow to cool before freezing. Thaw overnight when you want to use them. Mashed potato also freezes well too.

Milk can be frozen in ice cube trays. Perfect for adding to hot drinks or allow to thaw to add to recipes.

You can do the same with leftover wine too, which makes a great addition to stock.

Most hard cheese will freeze and last for up to 4 months.

Grate the cheese and store in air tight containers.

It can used straight from the freezer to add to whatever you’re cooking. Soft cheeses have a high water content, so they shouldn’t be frozen as they turn to mush once thawed.

Bananas tend to go off quickly so you can freeze them peeled and mashed up or whole with their skins on.

Just defrost them to eat whole or to add to a smoothie. If you want them a little mushy, give them a short blast in the microwave for baking cakes or muffins.

Freezing pasta is quick and simple! Perfect when you want a quick meal. Boil the pasta for 5 minutes and then allow to cool before freezing. Reheat when you want to use for a few minutes.

What NOT to freeze: Eggs in shells (explode),hard boiled eggs (go rubbery), Lettuce,Cucumber, Bean sprouts & radish (go limp & mushy), Mayonnaise (Separates & curdles) and Plain yogurt, single cream and cottage cheese (goes watery)

New Year Dieters Set to Eat More Than Non-Dieters Over Christmas Planning a January diet leads to eating more over Christmas!

Dieting or losing weight is still the number one resolution for January - more popular than quitting smoking or getting organised.

Mince pies, mulled wine and an abundance of chocolate selection boxes are making their way in to homes across the UK, but those who have the good intentions of losing weight in the new year are surprisingly more likely to overindulge in the calorific temptations on offer over the festive period.

Leading weight loss Hypnotherapist and the Founder of HypnoSlimming, Adam Cox, has investigated the eating patterns of those setting January weight loss goals. Many will have already decided to put off weight loss and fitness goals until January, giving them the sense that as they prepare to undertake these challenges in the new year, they can make their way through numerous chocolate oranges and several slices of Christmas cake.

However, Adam explains the potential consequences: “Most people look at weight loss or dieting as something negative, something that represents sacrifice. This is why many people that want or need to lose weight will actually consume more over the festive period. They have communicated to themselves that they are going to diet or from an evolutionary perspective, experience a famine, and are over consuming as a way to prepare.�

Adam offers five tips to start January off with the best chance of new year resolution success.

1. Get a head start. If you are planning on dieting in the New Year then the festive season provides the opportunity for a head start. Scientifically speaking weight is gained when people consume more calories than they utilise.

Reducing the amount of overeating during the Christmas season will mean you have less work to do in the New Year. Think of it this way, a mince pie is about 200 calories and equivalent to about 20 minutes of exercise. If you had to do a 20 minute jog to eat that mince pie, would you still do it?

2. Out of sight, out of mind. For many people the trigger to eat food is when they see it. Whether it’s chocolates in shiny wrappers, that mince pie on display or the leftovers in the fridge. You’ll be amazed at how much less you eat simply by not being where the food is or by choosing to focus on everything else.

3. Procrastinate your eating. As humans we’re incredibly gifted at delaying what needs to be done. While saying no to food can feel like a sacrifice or impolite try using the phrase “not just now, maybe later” when offered that extra portion of trifle or slice of Christmas cake.

4. Catch yourself in trance. If you’ve ever driven a car without actually thinking or watched a movie and wondered where your popcorn disappeared to then you’ve been in trance. This Christmas try catching either yourself or other people in trance. Watch out particularly for people eating or drinking while watching TV. They won’t have any idea about what they are eating, how much they are eating or even what it tastes like. Catching yourself eating in trance is the first step to changing it.

5. Enjoy yourself! For serial dieters the festive time can be a period of guilt or embarrassment. Even if you do notice that you’ve overeaten or overindulged just be aware that you can always chose to do something different in the future and that the past does not equal the future. You can still enjoy your favourite festive treats; just be mindful of the quantities you consume.

For some people, dieting or cutting out their favourite food is just too difficult, which is where the power of hypnosis can help. By giving the unconscious mind commands, people can find themselves naturally avoiding food in a way that requires no conscious effort on their part. However hypnosis isn't for everyone, which is why Adam has put together a free two minute suitability test to find out if hypnosis is right for you.

Call the Midwife returns to BBC One Call the Midwife has been one of Britain’s most popular drama series since it launched in 2012 and it continues to be the most watched drama series in the UK, with all five series to date gaining near or over 10m viewers per episode. It was 2016’s most watched drama series in the UK. It is now 1962, and the Nonnatus House team are as committed to caring for the people of Poplar as always. However, the social revolution in the outside world is mirrored by change and challenge much closer to home. As they strive to help mothers and families cope with the demands of childbearing, disability, disease and social prejudice, our beloved medics must make choices - and fight battles of their own. Series 6 will see them laugh together, cry together, and pull together, supporting each other as never before.

“I think the overarching theme of Call The Midwife, and the one that ensures its popularity, is humanity.

The stories we see are about people, not necessarily in extraordinary circumstances but caught in the conditions of time, opportunity or fortune…” (Kate Lamb who plays Delia Bushby)

FREE PREVIEW OF YOUR 2018 YEAR AHEAD

Discover if 2018 will be a year of finding love and romance.

If you’re already in a relationship, is 2018 the year to make a commitment to further strengthen this relationship..?

Aries Your love life sizzles as expansive Jupiter continues to strengthen your bond with someone special. The chemistry between you and your amour will be powerful between January 1st and November 8th. If you’re in a difficult relationship, the Lunar Eclipse on January 31st will let you know if it’s time to make up or break up. Falling in love will be easy near August 11th, when your charisma will be at an all-time high due to a powerful Solar Eclipse. A charming flirtation could quickly blossom into a passionate packed affair at this time. Avoid getting engaged or married between October 6th & November 16th, when affection won’t be flowing as freely as you would like. Your best prospect for making a relationship official is during the month of December, when your urge to merge will be powerful. This is a great time to move in together, set a marriage date or exchange wedding vows. Having a big ceremony around Christmas will give both your families a chance to come together and celebrate your happiness.

Taurus 2018 offers great rewards on the relationship front, particularly from January 1st through to November 8th. If you want to get engaged or married, this is the ideal time to pop the question. The weekend of June 1st is ideal for proposing or exchanging vows. Are you single? Chances to meet the love of your life will be especially strong between mid-July and early August, so be sure to get out and mingle during this stimulating time. By the time November arrives, an intimate relationship will assume a new intensity. You may decide to overhaul a committed relationship by spending more quality time together. Either you or your partner may decide to find ways to improve the way you communicate with each other. It’s also possible your amour will get a pay rise, allowing you to improve your quality of life. If you’re ending a marriage, you could walk away with a generous settlement. It’s even possible you’ll remain friends with your ex, making it much easier to embrace your new single status.

Gemini Your best days for finding love fall between August 7th and September 10th; so be sure to attend as many parties and outings as possible during this potentially packed period.

Romantic misunderstandings can occur during the first half of November; if your relationship feels strained, be patient. You’ll have a much better rapport as the month goes on. If you want to get engaged or married, wait until the last three weeks of December, when you’ll feel in perfect sync with your partner. Do you already have a serious partner? The final weeks of 2018 are perfect for going on an extended holiday. Travelling overseas will be more enjoyable than you anticipate. Pick a destination which has diversions that appeal to both of you. There’s a chance you will feel a deep spiritual connection to your surroundings; you may even think about relocating to this heavenly place. A change of scenery will re-ignite your mutual passion. It will also force you to cooperate more.

Too often, your desire for freedom can undermine intimacy.

Cancer The first ten months of 2018 have a passionate intensity that brings out the best in you. If you’re single, you will feel a powerful chemistry with someone who is cultured and intelligent. Be careful if you simply want to play the field. Even casual flirtations can deepen to obsession in the blink of an eye. Your charisma is powerful, particularly between January 1st and November 8th. Are you in a serious relationship? Your partner will be more demonstrative, adding a welcome dash of spice to your union. Think carefully before getting engaged or married. Any commitments you make this year will have long lasting effects. It will be difficult to turn back after you’ve taken the plunge. If you’re absolutely certain you have found your ideal partner, then go ahead and exchange vows. The first three weeks of January are perfect for a marriage ceremony. The final three weeks of the year are also good for making a lifetime commitment. All twelve months of the year promise to be extremely rewarding on the romantic front.

Leo 2018 will be a very romantic year for you. The excitement begins around February 15th, when a Solar Eclipse marks an energising turning point in your relationship status. A Lunar Eclipse on July 27th will tell you whether this is an affair of the heart or just a casual fling. If you’re already in a committed partnership, it’s possible your lover will get a career boost that improves your standard of living. No matter how long you’ve been with your partner, the days between November 9th and December 31st will feel like a second honeymoon. This is a wonderful period to get engaged or married. If you’ve already tied the knot, go on an overseas holiday with your partner. Choose a destination where you both can have fun, together and separately. Giving each other an added measure of freedom will strengthen your bond, not weaken it. When you come back together at the end of the day, you’ll be able to trade interesting stories. Being with someone who stimulates your intellect will make this year rewarding.

Virgo Your love life will have a fated quality this year. An accomplished person will seek out your company. Take care not to let your needs be eclipsed by theirs. Although they may be undeniably attractive, they have a tendency to command the spotlight. This can be intimidating for a modest person like you, who doesn’t like to brag about your achievements.

Instead of deferring to your partner all the time, be more assertive. If you demand to be treated like an equal, you’ll lay the foundation for a rewarding relationship. There will be a fairy tale quality to your union that lasts all year. Instead of ignoring your partner’s shortcomings, be honest about them. Taking a realistic view of their weaknesses will strengthen your self-image. You’re a highly talented, capable person who brings a lot to the table. Never forget that. If you’d like to get engaged or married, the period between February 19th and March 7th is ideal. Are you in a committed relationship? Take a holiday together during the third week of April.

Libra An exciting love affair could blossom in mid-February, thanks to a powerful Solar Eclipse. If you’re already in a romantic relationship, your amour will have wonderful news that will be a cause for celebration. A surprise engagement or marriage is possible in the days following April 16th, thanks to an impulsive New Moon. If you’re in a committed partnership, take a holiday with your partner between April 25th and May 19th, when you’ll have fun exploring a cosmopolitan city. Taking a romantic relationship to the next level is a definite possibility on July 24th, when a Lunar Eclipse urges you to make things official. Don’t let your family interfere with your love life in 2018. Although you love your nearest and dearest, this doesn’t give them license to criticise your partner or dictate your romantic choices. Be ready to defend your lover to a family member who feels threatened by their influence. Remaining silent will do a tremendous disservice to your relationship. Instead of pretending to be neutral, make your choice crystal clear.

Scorpio Your personal magnetism will attract a lot of amorous attention. If you’re single, you’ll easily find love between February 19th & March 7th, when your powers of attraction will be irresistible. If you want to get engaged or married, the third week of April is ideal for making a lasting commitment. Are you in a serious relationship? Your union will take a stimulating turn from May 16th through to November 6th. There’s a chance you will switch roles with your partner. One of you will become the breadwinner while the other stays home to care for a child, recuperate from an illness or focus on a creative project. This change of pace will be wonderfully exciting; the passion that first drew you together will return. The key to cultivating romance is to say what you mean and mean what you say. Be careful about lashing out at a loving partner when you feel frustrated. Words have a lasting effect, especially when uttered in anger. Make it your mission to exchange loving, supportive and encouraging words with your partner.

Sagittarius Towards the middle of 2018, your love life will begin to stabilise. If you are unattached you could meet someone special in the days surrounding April 16th, when you’ll be irresistibly drawn to an adventurous, pioneer spirit. At first, you’ll be charmed by this wild rebel’s unpredictable behaviour. By the time May 16th arrives, you’ll be ready to establish some ground rules for seeing one another. Sitting at home waiting for a phone call won’t deepen your desire; it will only create resentment. A power struggle could continue through early November. At that point, you will decide whether to part ways or make a serious commitment. If you are already in a committed relationship, you’ll assume the leadership role on or around November 9th. If you’ve always wanted to live abroad, go back to college or embark on a writing career, you’ll have the full support of your amour. Your partner will be very attentive during the last two months of the year.

Make sure you express your gratitude for their kindness and consideration.

Capricorn Your love life will take some unusual twists and turns in 2018. After May 16th, you’ll find your tastes change dramatically. Instead of gravitating towards your usual type, you’ll fall head over heels in love with an offbeat rebel. The object of your affection may not have a regular job or lead an orthodox or conformist lifestyle. Don’t worry too much what others will think of this relationship. When it comes to love, you should follow your heart. If you want to get engaged or married, you may feel that the time is right to take the plunge near July 13th, due to a Solar Eclipse. Are you in a serious relationship? Your amour will encourage you to take up a hobby. Having a creative pursuit unrelated to work will make you a better partner. Instead of spending all your time at the office, you’ll make a greater effort to be home and enjoying romantic outings with your partner. This playful interlude will last through early November. Move your focus from the professional to the personal.

Aquarius Your love life will reach a crossroads near January 31st, when a Lunar Eclipse prompts you to make up or break up. If your heart is no longer in a relationship, it’s best to part ways. Are you single? Playing the field will be lots of fun between July 11th and August 6th, when you’ll have your choice of would be wooers. You could find true love on August 11th, thanks to a romantic Solar Eclipse.

If you’re already in a relationship and want to get married or engaged, this would be an ideal time to take the plunge. The period between mid-August and early September is also perfect for taking an exotic holiday. Head for a glamorous destination famous for its shopping, restaurants and cultural pursuits. This trip will fuel your mutual desire; it will feel more like a honeymoon than a run of the mill trip.

It’s possible you will move home before November 6th in order to be closer to someone or something special to you. Choose a home with a garden.

Pisces Whether you are single or attached the period between May 20th and June 13th will be the most romantic of the year. Take this opportunity to find love or enjoy more time with your amour. A disruptive Solar Eclipse on July 13th will force you to defend your lover against a “catty” group of friends. Don’t let your social circle dictate your personal life. When it comes to love, you’re not particularly concerned whether your partner has a prestigious job or big bank account. The only thing that matters to you is the love and respect you have for each other. 2018 offers many opportunities for romantic getaways. Take at least one overseas trip before November 8th, when you’ll benefit from a dramatic change of scenery. Visiting an ancient city by the sea would be especially good. Getting engaged or married is a possibility near December 21st, when love will take on a fairy tale quality. If you’re already in a serious relationship, take this opportunity to celebrate Christmas early with your amour. A candlelit dinner will pave the way to passion.

Tracey from Bridlington asks “Should I stay with my Libra boyfriend who is 18 years younger than me..?”

Should I stay or should I go? This is one of the hardest questions anyone in a relationship might ask themselves. Many Sagittarians are young at heart: fun loving, carefree and great company. A Libran’s top priority is harmony and since both Sagittarius and Libra are very friendly signs, they will enjoy being spontaneous and adventurous together. With Saturn, planet of discipline, linking with Venus in Tracey’s chart in 2018, she is likely to be making adjustments in her life in order to bring about the long-term security she desires. She is looking to the future and needing to feel it will be secure. This is what lies at the root of her question and if Tracey is worried about the age gap it is more about whether her boyfriend is ready to make such a commitment. The only way to find out is for them to talk.

Beatrice asks when Annmarie from Glasgow asks “Is(London) there anything bettershe’ll for mefind out happiness..? there no tears left after dad passed away..?”

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Annemarie and her family as she asks if I can tell her anything. Everyone grieves differently and having a good cry has been Annemarie’s way of confronting her grief. This in itself is a part of the healing process although it may not feel like it at the moment. Annemarie is trying to find her own way to cope but feels it’s not working. Grieving is a long and painful process and as a loving, generous, outgoing Leo, it will seem as if she hasn’t only lost a father but because she no longer enjoys the hobbies, activities and friendships that were a big part of her life, she has lost herself too. 2018 will bring new opportunities for Annemarie to find happiness. Although it is still painful right now. there will always be a place, deep inside her heart, where she will be able to hear her father’s voice.

As time goes on, Annemarie will find it easier to tap into that and there will be a sense of comfort knowing that he is only a thought away.

CHAIR ONE The high backed, antique chair is a seating arrangement with a purpose. Note the rigid stance of the back rest, the inflexible arm rests. You sit up straight stay up late, burn the midnight oil and concentrate on new plans. Rather than waiting for things to sort themselves out you step into the breech, pay your debts, weed the garden, and expect that promotion. The best problem solving tactic is “wide awake and bushy tailed!” This is not a time for idle conversation, to dream about what might have been. Instead keep your finger on the pulse, and determine luck will not pass you by. Chair One is about coming to terms with what you want and going for it. If you focus on the positives, even difficult relationships are balanced, sad times are healed, and you finally get the the gist of why you came to this planet. As you don that straw hat, you are not not afraid to follow the rules as long as they are golden! Super opportunities, break thorough decisions, sudden spurts of creativity, the best is yet to come!

CHAIR TWO You yearn to take a break in the sun, but that patio chair is not quite the job. It looks good, but you can’t be sure whether the sun will shine or it will rain on your cocktail. You are living in uncertain times, a “prefect” relationship turns out to be a temporary fling, the ideal job falls through, instability rules your life. Instead of fighting the inevitable, instead of wishing you were somewhere else, take a breath of fresh air and know that come rain or shine, nothing can worry you unless you let it! This is not a time to fulfil others' expectations. Go with your own flow, and your life will change as never before. As you give up the expectations, and embrace uncertainty, a job offer comes through, you walk out of a down beat relationship. Suddenly you realise it is spring, and you have so much to live for! So, reach out, Carpe Diem style. Letting go of what is no longer relevant, opting for a new life style, creative decisions, significant changes for the better.

CHAIR THREE A couple of comfy arm chairs, and life is well away. The armchairs ensure it is time to enjoy family life in the peace of your own front room. Expect good tidings and happy relationships as you snuggle into the back rest, and keep up civilised conversation perhaps with a patron or a protector who will ensure the right solutions show up. Yes, you are protected, the vase of flowers proves that, and good news is for sure. Could you win the lottery, could you meet the love of your life, could you successfully build up your business, could you fly to the moon? All things are possible of you believe, so breathe in the perfume of the flowers on the antique table and lounge in those armchairs, dreaming dreams that come true. Every second is pleasurable if you focus on the positives, and make the best of the here and now. Letting go of stress, happy to fall in love, you expect a miracle at every turn. The Divine guides your way, and wonderful surprises drop into your lap, when "there is no place like home!"

Dream Meanings Money has many meanings in dreams and most of us either think “it makes the world go around” or “it’s the route of all evil” in our waking lives. Money and wealth can sometimes be the main focus for many. Some of us yearn to have more money, a bigger house, a better car, more holidays etc.. but the happiest people I know are the ones with little money but instead have a fulfilling life with family, friends, a loving partner and good health. These are the things you just cannot put a price upon!

Seeing or winning money in your dreams suggests that you will soon reach your goal in terms of success, prosperity and material goods. The amount of money is sometimes related to your own confidence, values and self worth. The greater the amount of money suggests you have a greater amount of belief and power in yourself and your own abilities. It is also a sign of good luck and fortune so if you are thinking of giving up on a recent task or project you should refocus your efforts as your dream could be suggesting that success is just around the corner.

An alternative dream meaning of money refers to affairs of the heart and your attitude and beliefs about love and sex. For some, power and money are intertwined and can be seen as a sign of power and sex!

Dreaming of losing money is an indicator that your own self confidence is at a low ebb.You may be having difficulties in your waking life which is causing your great unhappiness which is affecting your general drive and ambition.You may also have a feeling of low self esteem and being out of control and no longer able to make your own decisions. This will play on mind as you feel weak and very vulnerable. This type of dream is a “wake up call” to grab your life and get everything back on track.You are the master of your destiny and it is within your own abilities to change for a successful outcome.

You are looking for love and a partner if your dream includes giving money away or spending large amounts. It is a sign that you are feeling unloved and the money/sex link is key within this dream. If you see others giving money away predicts you are also feeling overlooked and ignored by others. If you are with someone this could suggest you are feeling a little neglected and need lots of cuddles and attention from them to change your mood!

If you dream of having no money at all suggests that you are feeling wary and nervous in terms of losing an important role or your place in the world.Your may have little confidence in a situation which suggests you need to learn a new skill so you can reach your desired goal. Don’t forget to ask friends or family for help in this situation as someone close may be able to point you in the right direction!

If your dream involves you stealing money this have two distinct meanings. The first is that you are feeling unloved and yearn for affection and closeness. This is now starting to depress you so you need to speak your mind to your partner/lover. The alternative meaning is a sign of great danger.You need to be very careful about what others tell you and what actions you take. You have probably reached a goal in your life or acquired something you have wanted for some time so the warning could relate to not losing it after all your hard work and effort.

Beware a stranger who is overly friendly, they could have hidden motives!

Dreaming that you are a millionaire and you are about to profit from a past favour.Your good deed from the past is about to be repaid ten fold.

At the time you didn’t realise that your small gesture or help made a huge difference to them and they now want to reward you! If you dream of meeting a millionaire you should not make any quick decisions in terms of contracts or financial arrangements. This is a warning that all is not as it seems and you should seek professional advice before committing yourself to anything. If it all looks to good to be true, then it probably is!

To help remember your dreams, try keeping a dream diary.

On waking, don’t get out of bed or even change position. Keep a note pad/pen at your bedside and record everything you can remember.
