<\/strong>So\u2026all the pundits were wrong, and we did not get a hung parliament.\u00a0 Between them, the Conservatives and the Scottish National Party carved up the political map of the U.K.\u00a0 There are a lot of people out there deeply disappointed and worried about the future of our country, and my feeling is that the shock will galvanize each person to ask what they can personally be responsible for in making a difference. \u00a0Whether it is writing more letters, getting involved in conservation projects, helping at food banks, there is more each person can do to take a step towards a world they want to see.\u00a0 \u00a0I feel that I have complacently walked into a situation whereby many more vulnerable people are going to be suffering, and I should have done more.\u00a0 In our household, hubby and I have decided (at 65) to become more politically active \u2013 we\u2019re united in this, and intend to seize the day!\u00a0 Our youngest daughter who lives in London, meanwhile, is enquiring about when the next march is going to take place.\u00a0 I hope that Nicola Sturgeon\u2019s passion for helping the poor somehow highlights the inequalities of Conservative policies in parliament, and that might result in\u00a0 softening the blow for those on the breadline and below.\u00a0 Do they say you should never blog about religion and politics\u2026?\u00a0 Enough said.<\/p>\n

And now for something completely different\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

How you can spot a Zodiac sign from a mile off<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Physical features tend to show up more in the Ascendant sign, but are often spotted in the Sun Sign.\u00a0 If you have a planet rising, the sign which it rules will have sway, e.g. Neptune rising (ruler of Pisces) will increase the water retention in your body.\u00a0 Have fun with this.\u00a0 As this is not an illustrated blog, you will need your visual imagination.\u00a0 Third eye to the ready!<\/p>\n

Do these descriptions fit anyone you know?<\/p>\n

Aspects<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Tomorrow (Monday 11th<\/sup>) offers the best prospect for healing, with the Sun sextile Chiron.\u00a0 If you have a medical appointment, Chiron (the Healer) should afford you decent care today.\u00a0 If you are self-treating with herbs or consciousness, your path too should be eased.\u00a0 If you are merely trying to Heal your Life, you should be comfortably on track.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday (12th<\/sup>) you will be fighting different battles.\u00a0 Mars leaves Taurus, where the Inner Warrior has been determined and focussed, and enters the debating chambers of Gemini, where the fight is on the mental plane.\u00a0 Wars of words, banter and repartee characterize its stay here, which lasts until 24th<\/sup> June.\u00a0 Gemini is a more adaptable sign, so dodging verbal bullets and hedging bets is the way the battle is fought in this territory.\u00a0 Those who are clever with words may have the edge.\u00a0 Time to take a course on linguistics.<\/p>\n

On Friday (15th<\/sup>) Mars opposes Saturn, perhaps the first battle which Mars initiates in this sign.\u00a0 Opposing Saturn, it may be a battle against intransigeance.\u00a0 It may be an internal battle against an area where you lack self-confidence or self-belief.\u00a0 Conversely, you may be taking a stand (the Saturn position) against another who is seeking to impose their will, or asserting themselves.\u00a0 You may be the last bastion of an Institution dedicated to preserve the status quo.\u00a0 Or you may be a pacifist seeking to demonstrate that fighting is not the answer.\u00a0 In the exchange though, lessons will be learned and information supplied.\u00a0 Questions may be answered, too, through confronting issues.<\/p>\n

Venus squares the Nodal Axis on Saturday (16th<\/sup>), and relationships come under the karmic microscope.\u00a0 Who are we in relation to each other, and perhaps who were we in past lives in relation to each other, plus how will we be going forward, and how will we be in relation to each other in the future?\u00a0 Some might just prefer the approach of the Now, but the whole tapestry can be very interesting.<\/p>\n

By tea-time (in the U.K.) you may have some answers to those questions, supplied by Venus in a trine with Neptune.\u00a0 You may have needed the questioning, in order to arrive at the sense of peace, or the potential of spiritual bliss of this aspect.\u00a0 The Arts receive a special grace from this aspect, a world away from political wrangling.\u00a0 It\u2019s a night at the ballet, or nearest equivalent!<\/p>\n
