Try to be even handed in whatever decisions you have to make, especially those involving others. Your advice will be appreciated and your voice will be heard. Love and romance are all around. Venus the planet of lovers is in a very fortunate place on your chart. Others seem to appreciate your deep emotions and this could lead to new horizons for you.

Aquarius January 20 - February 18

Getting out and about too much may make you feel like you don’t know whether you’re on your arm or your elbow. Worry not this is only a passing phase and soon all will be tranquil once again.

Pisces February 19 - March 20

Maybe it’s time to take a good hard look at the financial aspects of your life. Sorting everything out now could save you a lot of time in the future. Remember ’Many a mickel makes a muckle’.

Aries March 21 - April 20

Once that restrictive planet Saturn loosens its grip on your chart you should be able to make much more progress in whatever you undertake. It won’t be long before you are riding high once more.

You may see life as a bit of a competition right now, fired up by the power of that intrepid planet Jupiter. The added bonus is that it could also be a good time to enter into competitions of all sorts. Could this be a winning streak?

Virgo August 22 - September 22

Libra September 21 - October 22

Eating cake, making merry and letting your hair down are all part of life’s rich pageant as far as you are concerned. Enjoy life, put value on you and you really can’t go wrong. Bring on the highlife and feel the now.

Gemini May 21 - June 20 Sagittarius November 23 - December 20

Acquaintances will turn to friends and friends may become partners. All in all this is a great time for socialising and entertaining others. That friendly planet Uranus is close to your sign which should lead to a new circle of people. It’s a big thumbs up to anything relating to business expansion. Or on the other hand you could be in line for a spot of promotion. Either way you are liable to be a leader of others. Authority is truly your thing.

BREATHTAKING BERMUDA

by Rebecca Underwood, Travel Journalist

Photographer Gavin Howarth of Howarth Photography Ltd

Subject to Bermuda remaining on the ‘green list’, consider escaping to this enchanting and tranquil island, which is only a seven-hour flight from the UK. Bermuda lies six hundred miles off the North American coast and offers a perfect retreat where the locals practice that enviable laid back outlook on life.

Beyond the beauty of Bermuda is a fascinating and rich history, enhanced by British, West Indian, Portuguese, African and North American influences. The native population is a blend of these countries and the majority of Bermudans can trace their roots to the West Indies and Africa.

This hook shaped stretch of land, as recorded by geologists, was created some 100 million years ago as a result of the massive eruption of a volcano. Bermuda is perched on the summit of a submarine mountain rising 15,000 feet from the seabed and is protected by surrounding coral reefs affording protection from natural erosion. Beyond the reef, the ocean bed plunges to a depth of approximately three miles and the shallow inner lagoon remains calm and transparent with a hue of deep azure. Past navigators named the islands ‘Isles of the Devil’ and it is thought that Bermuda was discovered in 1503 by Spaniard Juan de Bermudez, commander of the La Garza. The islands remained uninhabited for more than a century until colonized by Admiral Sir George Somers, whose vessel the Sea Venture ran aground in 1609 on a voyage bound from England to Jamestown, Virginia.

Today, Bermuda continues to attract visitors from all over world. The crystal clear, azure warm waters of the Gulf Stream ensure a temperate climate, which is perfect for those who enjoy sailing, swimming, diving, a spot of fishing or a round or two of golf. It is well known in golf circles that Bermuda has more golf courses per square mile than any other country in the world.

The island features eight courses in total with seven of these of championship calibre and characterised by breathtaking scenery, dramatic ocean vistas, firm fairways and an unpredictable wind factor creating the perfect challenge.

For those who prefer to take things easy, the delicate pink sandy beaches provide the perfect setting for an afternoon snooze or consider a leisurely stroll around the stunning fragrant gardens and pause to admire the splendour of the imposingly grand colonial buildings whilst you consider where to dine. There are plenty of formal chic dining rooms offering international cuisine but for
