This week you’re going in a new direction. You might be feeling more in touch with your inner self and the wider universe. Pay attention to the signs and nudges you receive. Somthing could come unraveled, you can salvage it but you’ll need to act quickly.

JUN 21 - JUL 22 sep 23 - oct 22

This week, you’re planting fresh seeds. You could find yourself being noticed, either online or IRL. You could post something online that goes viral, or maybe a friend of a friend will reach out. Make time to get out in nature, connect with something outside of yourself.

This week, you could dazzle those around you. You could be looking for romance, whether loved up or not you could find inspiration in a rom-com or romance novel. Later in the week, you might be able to expand your horizons, even if it’s just trying a new lunch spot.

Dec 22 - Jan 19

This week, you’re making good choices. An older relative or long time friend could be travelling to see you. Maybe you receive a family heirloom or find some information about the family tree. Whatever it is, you’re connecting with your roots and family line.

This week, you’re in harmony with the changing energy. Take it slowly and intentionally early in the week, take deliberate action to nourish your soul, whatever that looks like for you. Your energy will become effervescent and you might be drawn to decadence.

JUL 23 - AUG 22 oct 23 - nov 21

This week, you’re opening your mind to possibilities. Allow things to unfold as they will, the tighter you hold on, the faster it will spiral out of control and the faster you’ll feel dissapointed. Go with the flow, trust that everything works out exactly as it should.

This week, you’re putting things in place. You might come to the realization that some of your recent routines have disolved and you’ve slipped into old habits. It’s a great time to shift towards the beneficial choices and working towards your best self.

Jan 20 - Feb 18

This week,you’re receiving positive notice. It’s possible you might have some communication hiccups, whether you have to resend an emai because you forgot the attachment or auto correct gets you. It pays to double check before you hit send.

This week, you have some good choices to make. Opt for face to face IRL interactions this week, nourish those friendships you’ve been too busy for. Slow down later in the week, you risk breaking something fragile and valuable otherwise. Less haste.

Aug 23 -Sep 22 nov 22 - dec 21

This week, small changes could lead to big results. A resource you thought you had could evaporate, you might need to adjust your sails and ride it out. Some incredible opportunities are at your fingertips, if slightly out of your comfort zone. Are you ready?

This week, there could be a beneficial new addition. You might find yourself stepping outside your comfort zone to do something special. It’s a great time to expand your horizons. A seed you planted a while ago could finally bear some fruit.

Feb 19 - Mar 20

This week, you could take a spiritual leap. You might be walking that line between being purdent with money and having a good time. It’s ok to indulge, just check you haven’t forgotten any bills first. You might find yourself host to a crowd, surrounded by loved ones.

John Albert

George Brooks

15.10.1941 to 28.03.2023

We are sad to communicate the passing of John Brooks, formerly of Morrish Road, Julatten, North Queensland.

John was loving Husband to Esther, supportive Father to Robert and George and proud Grandfather of Joe and Luka.

A hard working humble man with many loyal friends, he had a full life and was enjoying his retirement years on the family farm in Julatten. Health became his biggest challenge in recent years, and it finally beat him. John’s last wishes were simply “please no public funeral, no flowers and no fuss”.

The family is focusing on the future and maintaining the legacy of the Julatten farm, which he shared with his Wife for over four decades.

He had a great life and to honour his memory, please take a minute to recall one of the happy times you shared with John.
