Going to Villanueva del Trabuco and then Archidona to shop at Mercadona this morning

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Beware of appearing too confident or an authority figure will pass you by just for spite. If you’re going to claim the top spot, you need to be more circumspect. Keep your head down and put in all the extra hours necessary to make a work assignment a success. By doing this, you’ll establish yourself as a good team player. Don’t underestimate the importance of amiability in the workplace. There’s nothing worse than being forced to operate alongside odious colleagues.

.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) You’ll have an opportunity to revisit a subject that fascinated you as a child. Luckily, someone special shares your passion. The two of you will spend hours comparing notes and exchanging ideas about your favourite pastime. If you already have a partner, you may want to learn more about their favourite artists, athletes, and writers. Delving into their interests will give you a better understanding of their needs. Besides, you might even develop a taste for these pursuits!

.

Gemini (May22/Jun21) You feel quite vulnerable with a former lover. Somehow, you’ve always felt that if you changed your appearance or behaviour, you could have won a permanent place in their heart, but should you really be making all the changes and bending over backwards for someone who isn’t worth your time or energy. Set your sight on greener pastures. It’s better to be single than tied to someone who is always criticising your every move. It’s one thing to enjoy a challenge, but it’s another to put up with abuse.

.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Turn your attention to your best friend or lover’s needs. Lately, you’ve been so focused on work that you’ve lost sight of their problems. Go out for a good meal and invite your loved one to open up. You may be astonished to learn how difficult things have become. Fortunately, you have the capacity to help. By relieving your partner of some dreaded chores, you’ll forge the way for the happy, close relationship you’ve always wanted.

.

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Catch up on all the chores that have been piling up over the past few weeks. Stocking the pantry, cleaning the bathroom, and taking machinery to be repaired isn’t the most glamorous way to spend a Sunday afternoon, but that’s not the point. Neglecting your responsibilities is causing problems in your personal and professional lives. The sooner you get these jobs crossed off of your list of things to do, the happier everyone will be.

.

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) You’re tired of being the responsible one all the time. Abandon errands in favour of fun. Go on a shopping spree, play some music, or write a short story. Any activity that feels more like play than work is favoured. If you’re in love, spend the day in bed with your amour. The laundry can wait for another day. A short trip is in the cards for you. See if your partner can accompany you, as you’ll have plenty of opportunity to mix business with pleasure.

.

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) If you don’t have the funds to travel, don’t worry. You can still relax and have fun at home. Simply pull down the shades, turn off your mobile, and draw yourself a bath. Abandon yourself to domestic activities that give you pleasure, like decorating, baking, and planning a garden. If you’ve ever wanted to learn a skill like sewing or carpentry, this would be a good time to take a class. Someone with your artistic talent can make things far more beautiful than you can find in shops.

.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Errands keep you busy all day; you’ll have to take several trips to get one job accomplished. Maybe a store will close early, or it is possible one place will have run out of the supplies you need. Whatever the reason, you need to remember your sense of humour. If you express your disappointment in a polite, charming way, you could be given a discount. Remember, it’s easier to catch flies with honey than it is with vinegar.

.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Your income is on the rise, prompting you to spend more money than you normally would. Don’t feel guilty about buying things that will provide long term satisfaction. When it comes to making purchases, focus on quality. Yes, the best made items often cost more than inferior merchandise, but at least you’ll save money on repairs and replacements. Keep work plans a secret for the time being, especially if you plan on changing jobs. The element of surprise is critical to your success.

.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) You’re a lot more sentimental than you pretend, so let down your guard with someone who has proven their loyalty. By recognising your desire to paint, write, or dance, you’ll begin moving in a more fulfilling direction. Remember, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Fortunately, your friend has some good advice on getting started. Follow their advice to the letter now, while your enthusiasm is high. You will surprise yourself today if you give yourself permission to take a risk.

.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Trust your instincts about a career matter. You’ve always prided yourself on getting ahead on your sheer talent. Right now you need to engage in some diplomacy in order to win favour with your boss. There’s nothing undignified about engaging in office politics. Improving your relationships with your superiors is critical to your success. If you stay out of the fray, you’ll let less worthy rivals steal your thunder. That would be a tragedy indeed.

.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) You have very definite ideas about how things should be done. In the past, people have dismissed your input. Now they’ll be ready to listen. You’re tired of seeing the most capable people in your group beaten down by a bunch of incompetent managers. By standing in their defence, you’ll bring about some positive changes that make operations more smooth and efficient. If you have to shout down an imposing authority figure, so be it. They will ultimately respect your position.

Goldbug100 - Retail investors usually enter the stock markets too late

So we are advising you that

Barclays Capital today said in its latest flagship quarterly research publication, Global Outlook: Don’t Fight the Reflation Trade. The report recommends long positions in equities and minimal exposure to government bonds, but cautions investors to watch for signs that central banks are losing enthusiasm for reflation, which Barclays Capital expects to happen later in 2011.

“The environment looks quite favourable for equities now, but as we proceed through 2011 investors need to be alert to a change,” said Larry Kantor, Head of Research at Barclays Capital. “Overstretched valuations may provide that signal, as might central banks in emerging market countries as they pull back from extremely supportive policies over the course of 2011.”

Additional themes of Barclays Capital’s Global Outlook include:

  • Current environment favours commodities and credit, although absolute credit returns could suffer from higher interest rates
  • The reflation trade bodes poorly for government bonds, especially considering the unusually high levels of sovereign debt in the developed world
  • European debt problems have not been resolved, suggesting investors should be long volatility and implement strategies to protect positions from possible sharp reversals
  • Easier monetary policy suggests a weaker dollar; appreciation pressures will be concentrated in European and especially commodity and emerging market currencies
