Get for me: Astrology

The year is drawing to a close and it is time to take stock of what has happened to us in the past twelve months. Whether good or bad, the things which have happened cannot be changed as the ink which life uses to write our lives has dried.

It is now time to look to the future to seek to rejuvenate ourselves, set new goals (and of course, one by one, cross them out again as unfulfilled as we move along the new year. But, hey! that's life) and seek a better tomorrow for ourselves and our loved ones.

It is, therefore, a most appropriate time to look to the stars for guidance. Susan Miller is well-known in the astrology circle and her sheer style and cool writings have endeared many to her Astrology Zone. With her kind permission, we have set up a link to her website so that we can all share in her revelations which help us to find out more about ourselves and perhaps clue in our loved ones into the reasons for our sometimes bewildering behaviour which we ourselves may not be aware of.

Can you find the link? It's placed above this article, on the centre-right beside Flight Information..
