Perth city council instructed markets organisers to kick the stalls out, stating they were political groups, and therefore unwelcome. The markets are held on PCC property. The edict was reportedly sparked by Perth city councillor Lyndon Rodgers who’d visited the markets and taken a dislike to the “political presence”, which included stallholders inviting people to sign petitions. Activist stalls are a feature of markets across the country— including Hobart’s famous Salamanca Markets—but are apparently too spicy for Perth. “We have been notified that a political stand was at one of the stalls of the market,” the PCC emailed organisers. “Please can you ensure that no political messages or stands etc are present at the Treasure Market as the City of Perth do not want to be associated with any political opinions or standings and this could cause a media issue.” Greg Smith, a former council town planner who hosts the community TV show Treasure Hunt, describes the ban as “unfuckenbelievable”. “What a bunch of wankers,” co-organiser Michael Couani adds. “When are the Gestapo going to come in? The thought police?” Mr Smith says community S I E N A’ S PIZZA • RISTORANTE • CAFE Try our new Parmigiana 17 $ Siena’s Famous Pizza or Pasta 13 $ Available Lunch Mon - Fri, Dinner Mon - Wed groups are an important aspect of markets’ culture. “The markets should be more than just selling trash and treasure and food, it should be the selling of ideas and opinions and the complete range of things.” He notes he’s invited Christian and Muslim groups to be part of the markets, and now wonders if they’ll be outlawed too. Tibor Meszaros heads up WestTV which produces Mr Smith’s show. He notes the banned groups, “don’t represent any political parties whatsoever, they represent movements of people in the community who are expressing some views about the events happening in the city or in WA”. Alex Jones is the promoter of saveourtrees.net, one of the affected community groups. “We’re not a political group. I don’t think anyone at the group belongs to any political party at all, so I don’t know what they’re talking about.” She says the crackdown is typical of state and local governments that team up with developers to quash community dissent. “It didn’t surprise me,” she told the Voice. “In the back of my mind was that the local government and state government have been very resistant to community groups concerned about what is going on.” Cr Rodgers was unrepentant: “I don’t care what political party it is,” he told the Voice. “I don’t think the markets is the place for it.” Do YOU deliver the goods?

The Salvos provide temporary accommodation in Stirling for a large number of African and Middle Eastern families entering Australia on humanitarian visas. Manager Kate Greenway says that since 2009 some families have stayed put more than three years because they can’t find anywhere affordable to move to. “The steady decline of housing affordability over the past three years has made it extremely hard for us to secure accommodation for large families,” she told the Voice. “The aim of our program is to make the families more independent and self-su cient, so our preference would be for them to move into private rentals. “But in reality the shortage of affordable rentals mean they end up in state housing accommodation, or in limbo at our homes.” She says there is a list of 50 families waiting to use the Salvos’ temporary accommodation. Ms Greenway says finding a permanent home for African families is exacerbated by their poor English skills and their reluctance to live next door to families from warring African states. “The lack of affordable accommodation is causing a bottleneck in our system,” she says. “We already have up to 15 people staying in one of our twoand three-bedroom houses, and we know that families share out kids to even up the numbers.” St Bart’s CEO Andrew Hogan notes more older people are seeking refuge in homeless shelters because of housing stress. High rents and soaring utility costs have seen more baby boomers look for help in the past two years then ever before, he says, with unaffordability joining mental illness and addiction as a primary cause of homelessness.

This photo: Little Bart and Bling at the old place (File). Photos by Jeremy Dixon by STEPHEN POLLOCK LITTLE BART and Bling have been banned from St Bart’s new $34 million hostel and HQ because of health and safety red tape. The dogs had been bought by St Bart’s in 2010, using a Lotterywest grant, to keep residents active and happy at the shelter’s former home in Brown Street. St Bart’s CEO Andrew Hogan says management decided—on the advice of an occupational therapist—that it was potentially dangerous to relocate the dogs to Lime Street. “The only outside area suitable for them would have been the gardens used by elderly residents,” he told the Voice. “We didn’t want a young, 40kilo dog knocking down an old, infirm person. “This is a much bigger facility ANGOVE STREET with more people coming and going—we couldn’t guarantee that the dogs wouldn’t escape out the front door and get knocked down on Lime Street.” St Bart’s doesn’t allow residents to keep pets either. Clayton Riddell told the Voice the dog ban is the latest in a long line of teething issues at the swank site which saw him move out in frustration this week. “I’m heading up to the bush to live with my family—I’ve had enough, mate,” he says. Little Bart and Bling now live with St Bart’s accountant, at his home. Mr Hogan says he plans to allow the dogs to visit weekly from February. Little Bart is named after the original Bart, a huge and charismatic Irish elkhound who’d stayed at the original shelter and died in 2009. A local legend, he’d bonded with residents and visitors and even managed to soften the heart of ex-Kalgoorlie miner Jim Giltrap, a tough larrikin who stayed in the shelter for more than 10 years. The pair became inseparable, with Bart guarding Jim’s room at night. When Jim was diagnosed with cancer and was moved to palliative care, he would get friends to sneak Bart out of the shelter and smuggle him into his hospital room. In his final days, Jim missed Bart so much he discharged himself so they could stay together in a private residence.

Event organiser Marianne Mackay expects around 400 Noongars to attend the all-day event on January 25, which will include singing, dancing and cultural ceremonies. “We haven’t asked for any formal permission from Perth council, because we believe we don’t need it,” she says. “As tribal sovereigns we shouldn’t have to ask nonAboriginals for their permission to practise our culture. “Out of goodwill, our elders will meet with Perth council to inform them of our plans and ask them not to send in military forces to stop us celebrating our culture.” Last year Aboriginal campaigners camped on the island to protest the WA government’s $1 billion offer to settle native title claims in Perth and the South-West. The peaceful 40-day sitin ended when 70 riot squad o cers, police on horseback and more than a dozen council workers dismantled the camp. “The city is aware of the proposed event on Heirisson Island but to date has not received a formal application from the organisers,” Perth city council CEO Gary Stevenson told the Voice. “The CEO will meet with a Noongar elder to discuss the proposal and the intention of the organisers.” WA Police say they won’t comment for now. store processing 130,000 orders in a year, averaging 355 a day. Communications manager Trish Miller says employees have been retrained. Stirling city council health and compliance manager Peter Morrison says the franchised outlet has new owners and better standards apply. Chicken Treat Balcatta was fined $51,537 last July for a string of offences, including selling food past its use-by date. Since 2007 the WA government has been naming and shaming outlets that breach safety standards. Public heath advocate Mike Daube wants shaming to go a step further. “I’d like to see businesses guilty of serious offences forced to display signage for a set period of time, informing customers of the breach,” he says. “There isn’t anything more important to our fundamental health than clean water and safe food.” Fast food fines by ALEX NEWBIGIN FAST FOOD outlets across Voiceland have racked up $200,000 in fines for health and cleanliness breaches in just seven months. Those pinged by councils for filthy premises, foreign objects in food and poor maintenance include famous outlets like Hungry Jack’s, Red Rooster and Chicken Treat. HJ’s Beechboro store was fined $75,000 last month after a woman coughed up a 1.5cm metal swarf that had been hidden in her onion rings. Red Rooster Balcatta was fined $42,194 for dirty premises and poor equipment maintenance. Company spokesperson Todd Hayward says the store is one of the busiest in Australia, with the Head’s home in Vincent by STEPHEN POLLOCK THE controversial big blue head has found a home— it’s to be installed outside Vincent city council’s HQ in Leederville. The $35,000 Ken Sealey artwork Beseech had originally been planned for outside 375 Charles Street in North Perth, funded as part of the council’s per-cent-for-art scheme. But the developer hated it so much he doesn’t want it anywhere near his four-storey complex (“Blue note for big head,” November 24, 2012). “The major concern expressed by the owners was that the ‘artwork would de-value the property and detract potential lessees’,” council staff said in a report. Mr Sealey is “thrilled” the head is to be installed at the corner of Vincent and Loftus Streets, saying it’ll be seen by many more people. “It will be positioned beside trees in a pretty public area, where people eat lunch, and be seen by a lot of passing tra c,” he said. QUOTES “I’m also glad the head will be looking up at the council and questioning the decisions of the people who work inside.” Mayor Alannah MacTiernan hopes to have the head installed within months. “The statue will still be called Beseech in tribute to all the developers who come to council and beseech us to approve their developments,” she quipped. Public artwork is often controversial at Vincent. Two councillors voted “no” for a giant “OMG” that’s since gone up on Beaufort Street.

East Perth 8 East Perth 7 Maylands 15 Yokine 12A Dianella 10 Mount Lawley 4 A red ribbon would represent the names of the hundreds who died of AIDS, which the memorial is supposed to represent. The memorial was left to fall into a state of total disrepair: None of the now-concerned stakeholders who have sole decision-making power cared but now they want to retain it as mere art in the park . If it is good enough for them to have their names inscribed it’s good enough to have a red ribbon on it. Vincent city council could resolve this by buying a $50 can of waterproof red paint and placing a red ribbon on the water feature. It would add to its spiritual value as an memorial for the whole community. At the moment it does not fit its intended role as an community memorial, which the community gave $143,000 for. The Perth OPI Sisters are calling for the memorial to be reclassified from an artwork and to be rededicated as a world class AIDS memorial with a red ribbon added and the HIV/AIDS community to have some input into its future upkeep and care .

Cr John Carey Brisbane St, Perth Love the logo I WAS disturbed to read the CEO of the WA AIDS Council thinks “it is possible that ribbons have become so ubiquitous that the inclusion [of a ribbon at the memorial] may not particularly add meaning to members of the public.” As a member of a well established HIV/AIDS support and advocacy group we use the red ribbon as our logo because, like other organisations, we know its visibility is still effective at raising awareness. Other organisations like breast cancer care, the cancer council, McGrath Foundation, violence against women and charities continue to sell ribbons everyday to educate people about health issues and to raise essential funds to support clients. Is the AIDS Council saying this is also a ubiquitous waste of time? Is this new policy towards the red ribbon by the WA AIDS Council the reason this year on World AIDS Day there were no ribbons to be seen in Perth, despite being sold in all other states and around the world to raise awareness to HIV/AIDS in 2012? What other charities understand is that a ribbon is as good as a pamphlet or poster at getting health messages and visible support to the community as well as being a great way to raise money to pay for services for clients.

Marine Tourism WA—formerly the Charter Boat Association—says it owns the post and wants to discourage nonmembers like Bronson Norrish from using its gear. Mr Norrish had tied his boat to the post—requiring him to swim out to the vessel—after losing his berth because of the Elizabeth Quay development (Voice, January 12, 2013). Marine Tourism president Rick Reid says charging $330 a day is fair “when someone takes possession of your lone pile”. “It’s a bit of a penalty for keeping everyone else off it,” he says. “If you’re going to lay claim to someone else’s mooring it’s not going to go down very well.” Mr Reid says an original post owned by the Swan River Trust had been replaced by the association so the Trust told the organisation it could take possession. Whether records exist that confirm the claimed ownership is uncertain. “That pole was put in for the benefit of the charter boat operators, and also for the boating public to utilise,” Mr Reid says. Piccadilly parties on by STEPHEN POLLOCK YOU might just see a few ghosts when the Piccadilly Theatre and Arcade celebrates its 75th birthday this year. Heritage Perth CEO Richard Offen says rumours still abound the cinema complex is haunted by the ghost of a former manager who, locked in one night, fell to his death down stairs in the dark. “The ghost is said to have been first discovered by a workman, who claimed to have seen it as a shadowy figure walking across the foyer to the lift,” he says. The arcade was the brain child of English migrant Claude Albo De Bernales, who’d arrived in Coolgardie in 1897 with £5 to his name. De Bernales borrowed £50, moved to Kalgoorlie, and made his fortune in mining. In 1937, he employed architects Alfred Baxter Cox and Leighton to design a shopping arcade on land he owned connecting Hay and Murray Streets. “The Piccadilly Theatre was one of a number of theatres and cinemas constructed in and around Perth between the first and second world wars,” Mr Offen says. “The building was designed in • Piccadilly Cinema—turning 75. Photo by Jeremy Dixon an inter-war functionalist style and represented the desire for enjoyment and entertainment displayed by people throughout the western world at the end of the great depression. “The cinema opened on March 10, 1938 with a charity gala screening of the Claudette Colbert film, I Met Him in Paris, which was attended by the state governor, Sir James Mitchell.” The cinema was not the largest in Perth in 1938—it seated 1100 people—but its art deco architecture and amenities were lauded. “The foyers were profusely decorated with red and gold roses, pink gladioli and exquisite vari-coloured dahlias and the ladies boudoir came in for special attention, as did the theatre attendants with their short black dresses and white gloves, one discretely tucked into the skirt’s waistband,” Mr Offen says. “The theatre and arcade also feature a number of bas relief friezes of dancing girls and ‘Atlas type’ figures which were moulded by Perth sculptor Edward Kohler.” The cinema remained under the control of De Bernales’ parent company until 1978, after which it changed hands several times. In 1984 the complex underwent a major refurbishment, winning an architectural award from the Royal Australian Institute of Architecture in 1986. Towards the end of his life, a poor and sick De Bernales moved back to England, where he died a lonely recluse in Sussex. 9,000 Full Colour DL Flyers $999 Incl.

Labor MPs say the time taken to repair the A-series railcar is ridiculous, especially given the tight squeeze on Perth’s creaking passenger rail system. The two-car set has been out of service since November 25, 2011 when an undercarriage cabinet door came free and was caught on track equipment, causing significant damage to the underside.At an October 2012 estimates hearings meeting, PTA director Mark Burgess told MPs the accident was partly caused by “human error” and replacement parts had been di cult to source. PTA spokesperson Kate Johnson says it should be back on the tracks in June. “While the railcar has been out of action we have been working with our railcar maintenance providers to ensure that railcar availability targets are met and a full service is provided each day,” she says. Maylands Labor MP Lisa Baker—who has been campaigning incessantly about sardine conditions on the Midland line at rush hour—was quick to pounce: “With passengers being packed onto trains like sardines every day, the Barnett government should ensure every single available rail car is online,” she fumes. in the area. Police told the meeting they’d patrol the street frequently but as far as they knew there were no ongoing issues with rival gangs. The Voice doorknocked nearby houses on Tuesday and a couple of residents said they weren’t worried. “Freedom of association is a basic Australian right,” one told the Voice. Another said they’d had no issues. But most would prefer the bikies hop on their Harleys, throttle up and head out of town. One resident said they’d been too afraid to submit a complaint to council Train delay in case their name was made public. Two parents told the Voice their kids hide every time they hear the bikes’ noise. Three people said bikies routinely visited Brookman Street and stood about whispering. They believed they did this to avoid surveillance. “I’d prefer they’re out in the bush...but by the same token it’s none of my business,” one man said. The premises has been raided in the past, with police seizing steroids. The council will decide on the application March 12. • Labor’s Ken Travers, Bob Kucera and Lisa Baker accuse the Barnett government of mismanaging passenger rail. Photo by Jeremy Dixon “It is outrageous that a two-car set has been allowed to be out of service for so long.” Mt Lawley Labor candidate Bob Kucera says the government has failed to recognise the importance of passenger rail: “Patronage on Perth’s rail network increased by seven per cent during the 2011/12 financial year,” he told the Voice. “The lack of spare trains means that RingSide when a train breaks down or needs maintenance, the already overcrowded system is put under greater stress.” Last year, 700 commuters signed Ms Baker’s petition calling on the government to address overcrowding. WA transport minister Troy Buswell says the Liberal-National government is spending $165 million on 45 new carriages and investing more in buses.

In the three days that followed then-John made an enormous decision, and decided to listen to the inner-voice that had been nagging at him for years, and become a woman. “I realised that I’d spent my entire life trying to be someone that I wasn’t really,” Monroe tells the audience in her one-woman show Mangina—Tales of an XY Woman. The man in the car died, she says, and Amanda Monroe was born. Raised in the 1950s by conservative parents, Monroe says her boyhood was traditional white male stuff and gender roles were strongly reinforced. Her parents had died by the time she decided to become a woman, and she concedes it would have been impossible to have made the transition if they’d been alive. “It’s very hard for people with that mindset to change their opinion,” she told the Voice. “It’s almost like being gay is a much more acceptable thing than this. “When you transition from one gender to another you’re entirely rejecting the person that they’ve created.” But she had to change, Monroe says, or she’d be dead from drink. “I’d not taken care of myself for years and years, because I hated the existence that I had. “That was all to bury this person inside me pushing to say ‘you can have this life’. That tension is released by being drunk enough to go to sleep. “If I hadn’t had that event I most likely would have been dead within a few years.” When she did decide to make the change, she was in good hands. One of her best friends was transgender and guided her through the painful early steps: Getting onto hormones and growing breasts, working out which dresses are fl attering and womanly, considering surgery, and—importantly—how to walk WE’RE NOW ON FACEBOOK Join the Voice on Facebook & be the first to read exclusive editorial content, enter weekly competitions and discover promotional offers for your business. in girls’ shoes. “I had a very harsh teacher who was able to say to me ‘don’t step outside looking like that!’,” Monroe chuckles. From the darkest depths of booze abuse and denial, Monroe describes her first time stepping into the world as a woman as “extremely liberating and wonderful. I felt amazing. I felt like the whole world was brand new. “The first time I was mistaken for a woman...how exhilarating it is! Now I live full time as a woman. I’m very rarely, we call it ‘sprung’, and if you’re sprung people figure out you’re a man. Now when that happens, it doesn’t really concern me, because of the way I’ve gotten use to myself and accepted myself.” With her family gone, Monroe found friends were largely accepting of the change, all save for one gay male friend who felt uncomfortable with the change and dropped her from his Christmas card list. Turning her story into a show meant going public with every bump in the road, and Monroe describes it as “almost like a form of therapy”. “I keep hearing people come to me and say how it’s such an infl uence on them and it’s made me rethink many of the issues that I’ve spoken about. “Some people have come up and said ‘I have a similar story’. It’s allowed one or two people to say ‘you’ve given me a lot to think about and I’ll be talking to my wife about that’. “This is what I wanted to happen. I wanted to open people’s eyes and minds to what this journey is about.” Mangina—Tales of an XY Woman is part of the Fringeworld festival and runs January 25 to February 2.

The line between fiction and reality blurred as we drove to Monte Fiore for lunch, our trip inspired by The Young Montalbano which I’d snored through the previous night. New owners took the reins at Fiore two months ago and have ploughed some serious lira into renovations. The dining area is bright and contemporary with a huge stencil artwork of a bird emblazoned on the rear wall. Impressive, as some Italian restaurateurs can overdo the whole Rome-in-Perth theme and end up with Berlusconi’s cod piece. The auspicious start was extended by a waiter who ushered us to a table with vistas of Beaufort Street. The menu is a mix of traditional Italian dishes and some modern twists. As an overture we ordered bruschetta ($14), with penne arrabiata ($26) and prawn and crab ravioli ($32) for mains. Fiore deserves bonus points for being open on a Sunday afternoon, when most Italian restaurants in Perth mimic Vesuvius and lay dormant. After an argument about whether Columbo’s phantom wife shaved her legs, the bruschetta arrived. We quickly devoured two hunks of crusty bread scattered with fresh tomato, red onion and olives. It was a delicious entree which had enough bread for us to share in conjugal bliss. Next up was my arrabiata: a hefty mound of penne pasta, olives and dog-eared chorizo. The spicy sauce had a nice peppery kick and complemented the shaved onions in this peasant fiesta. On the boot-side of the table, ‘er indoors was fondling her at The Left Bank! www.leftbank.com.au | 15 riverside rd east fremantle | 9319 1136 | [email protected] From 5pm - 9pm every Friday in the downstairs cafe.

Page 10 - The Perth Voice, Saturday January 19, 2013 prawn and crab ravioli, gently teasing the freshly-made parcels and zucchini with the tip of her fork. “The crab and prawn filling is delicious, but the tomato sauce is overpowering the seafood slightly,” she said. Monte Fiore serves up tasty Italian fare and the waiting staff are attentive and friendly; but the food is a bit on the pricey side for lunch. A modest lunch menu would be a nice addendum and help snare the Mt Lawley o ce brigade. It’s early days and innercity rents are extortionate, so it deserves time to find top gear. Now, I need to phone that German Shepherd and see if he can sniff out my missing wallet.

Our monthly column has once again given us the opportunity to share information about the many interesting events, public lectures and other exciting happenings on the Campus for the Fremantle community to participate in throughout the year. We have been delighted with the response and the chance to welcome visitors to our unique and beautiful Campus here in the historical West End of Fremantle. In addition to informative lectures hosted by our academics, throughout the year Notre Dame has welcomed to its Fremantle Campus renowned Australian authors and international scholars; key political figures and leaders in Indigenous social justice reform. Dark, silly and fun B Notre Dame has also participated and supported a number of Fremantle events, including the successful Heritage Festival held at the end of May. We have also provided many opportunities for the Fremantle community to discuss issues of concern through public forums, such as the studentrun Freo Futures Forum 2012 held in October. The University will launch a new community initiative on Campus early next year – Four Days in Summer. The first ‘Day in Summer’ is a Community BBQ on Friday 18 January 2013. We hope you can join us!

On behalf of the Notre Dame community, we wish all our readers peace, joy and love throughout the Christmas season and best wishes for the New Year. Vice Chancellor, Professor Celia Hammond unforgiving UK comedy circuit (light entertainer Des O’Connor once fainted on a Glasgow stage after being heckled and jeered incessantly). “I went to university and studied drama, but there was very little practical tuition, it was more theory and concept based,” he said. “What really taught me a lot was doing a bi-weekly comedy night that four of us put together. “We made a new show of sketches every two weeks, gained stage time and acquired invaluable experience testing rough and ready ideas with an audience.” Bone’s high-school buddy Ben Roe accompanies the show with live, on-stage guitar playing, which has a “Spanish infl uence with a blusey folk twang”. “His music is a crucial element of the show, it simply wouldn’t work without it,” Bone enthuses. “His work also extends into the writing—he contributes some fantastic ideas that really infl uence the process and effectively the end result.” Award-winning Bane has been a critical success and played in theatres and festivals worldwide, including the Edinburgh Fringe. It has already spawned two sequels and a Portuguese version, Billdog, that’s playing in Rio de Janeiro. Bone is excited about visiting Australia for the first time but says he needs to shed some kilos after an indulgent Christmas. “Hopefully I’ll be in better shape when I get to Australia,” he laughs. “We’ve a London run just prior to us leaving so hopefully that’ll shed some timber.” Bane is at The Blue Room Theatre as part of the Fringe World Festival from February 12-16 and at PICA Performance Space from February 19-23.

Central character Bruce Bane is a film noir parody—a hit man who shoots first and asks questions later. He suddenly finds himself in the gun sights of a mystery assassin and must work out who’s trying to put a slug in his back, before everyone around him dies. “The themes of Bane are death, revenge and comedy,” Bone says. “It’s a parody of various Hollywood movies and plot lines, from Die Hard to Back to the Future, but they’re all brought together in a noirish, Sin Citytype story. “It’s very minimalist and is done at a fast pace to maintain energy and interest—so, there are no costume changes nor props, just quick switching between characters.” Bone works up a sweat in the two-man show: playing 40 different parts in an hour-long production, which includes simulated shootouts, car chases and explosions.

You are simply not going to do it any other way than that which possesses you. Be sure to remember to balance your own needs with those of others. TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 20) The Moon sails through early in the week. She sets your heart alight. That strange fluttering in the middle of your chest, is butterflies of excitement setting off on a new breeze. Build on the little tremors of feeling that are trying to tell you that you are on the right track. DEMENTIA CARER SUPPORT GROUP. Are you caring for someone with dementia?

Contact 1800 100 500 to join a group near you GEMINI (May 21 – June 21) There’s an odd astrological dance going on between Uranus, who wants to instigate your inspiration – and Neptune who appears to be throwing down a wet blanket. Mere impulsiveness is not enough to get your cart moving. Be inspired from the very depth of your soul.

It’s not really pragmatism that goes out the window, it’s more a linear view of pragmatism that bites the dust. This stirring that is happening will make you whole. LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23) Venus has passed in front of Pluto. Love has passed a mighty test. It will have gotten stronger – even if it has shifted form. Pluto initiates us and regenerates us. He takes all that is false away and leaves us to find the new, afresh. Your heart has been weeded. Get ready for the new. SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21) Saturn is dancing. Saturn is reality. When reality dances, it means we have found the joy that lies under all illusions. To dance when our falseness is revealed is slightly and divinely mad. Dance when your old, habitual self wants you to whine and moan. Break the mould. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21) Friends are your medicine. Their company is a soothing balm for tired hearts. Friendliness is enough to heal most heartaches. There’s no need to do anything spectacular. It’s enough to recognise and celebrate those blessings that are already coming your way. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19) The Sun shifts out of your sign. You have been given a month’s worth of cosmic help, to integrate all your disparate parts into one dance. You are a little more on your own now. Life is showing faith in leaving you to your own devices. You must have faith in yourself too. YOGA YOGALIFE LEO (July 23 – Aug 22) As the Sun finds his way into Aquarius, so you find your way into parts of your being that you normally keep secret. Under the pure, consistent, shining light of your regal persona lies a radical, quirky and highly experimental soul, waiting to get out. Break out. Break free. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18) The Sun arrives in Aquarius. You will want fanfare. It’s not certain that you will get any. What will happen though, is that you will start to feel a self-integrating harmony. Those parts that are at sixes and nines, will figure out how to dance. Take chances that promote union. PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20) Grandiosity is not serving you well. It might be yours – it might be somebody else’s. Recognise it and move away – especially if it’s decorated with spiritual reasoning. Keep filtering the dross from the gold – even your own. Healing has to be real - as has your sweetest ache.
