.
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Surrounding yourself with artistic people stirs your own imagination. Let them teach you how to paint, play music, or create works of beauty. It's always difficult for you to take a back seat to an expert, but the sacrifice will be worth it. Besides, you're looking for any excuse to spend more time with the people you love. A friendship could turn to romance with very little effort, if you're so inclined. You feel drawn to someone who is graceful, attractive, and intelligent.
 .
Taurus (Apr21/May21) You've always wanted a glamorous life, and now it looks as if one is within arm's reach. Taking a job related to art, film, or luxury goods will prompt you to rub elbows with a fabulous clientele. Some will look wonderful while acting horribly, but that won't faze you. Just being in the company of such dazzling creatures will uplift and inspire you. Take this opportunity to add a little glitz to your own wardrobe. You look great in tactile materials and jewel tones.
 .
Gemini (May22/Jun21) A powerful imagination helps you to cope with situations that would drive others crazy. You're able to envision beautiful adventures while performing boring tasks day after day. It would be a shame to keep your creativity under wraps. Use it to enrich your own life and the lives of those around you. It gives you great pleasure to be able to see, touch, and taste the fruits of your labour. Don't be surprised if you soon have a big fan base.
 .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Having a happy home life with your significant other is your idea of paradise. You'd rather enjoy a candlelit dinner for two at your own dining room table than go to a fancy restaurant. Take this opportunity to decorate your bedroom with rich colours, soft materials, and fragrant flowers. This little retreat from the outside world will create a powerful bond that is impossible to break. You and your amour have the ability to heal each other's wounds and inspire greatness in one another.
 .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) You have a tendency to put your loved one on a pedestal. Nobody can ever criticise your amour without a tongue lashing from you. When you give your heart to somebody, it's absolute. If you're single, you will meet someone special through a friend. Go ahead and agree to a blind date. Your nearest and dearest knows you better than you think. Don't be swayed by your date's chilly behaviour at first. A few jokes will quickly melt that icy reserve.
 .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) You'll be given a plum assignment at work, so be sure to do justice to it. Develop this masterpiece away from prying eyes. It's hard to develop something of beauty when people are bombarding you with helpful hints. This endeavour has to come from your heart and yours alone. Use your gift with words to weave a magical spell around anyone who comes in contact with your work. Pretty soon, everyone will be asking about the author and offering you more work.
 .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) You're wonderfully glamorous, attracting romantic attention wherever you go. If you're looking for love, you'll find it with a cool rebel who makes your pulse pound. Winning this lover's heart will be no small feat, as they are dreadfully independent. Still, your charms are sufficient enough to compel a serious commitment. Together, you'll craft dazzling works of art together. There will be a futuristic aspect to these creations that garners lots of publicity.
 .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) A deep personal trust is the foundation of a family bond. You know you can tell a relative anything. Others have unfairly judged you, but you can always depend on this parental figure to give you the benefit of the doubt. If you're thinking of moving, let it be to a place that inspires your imagination. A home which offers beautiful vistas from a great height is favoured. Too often, you take a dim view of life. Getting a more exalted perspective will lift your spirits.
 .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Working independently suits you much better than having intense supervision. You can be trusted to be productive without a manager breathing down your neck. Don't be surprised if you're asked to teach a class or write an instruction manual. Your communication skills are very strong, helping even the weakest students to succeed. Over time, you'll get a huge following and everyone will want your services. It will be like getting paid to have fun.
 .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) You're a lot more creative than people realise. Solving problems is one of your specialties. In fact, your boss can sometimes take this talent for granted. Take this opportunity to ask for a raise. You deserve to be properly compensated for your gifts. Very few people can turn unattractive environments beautiful, inviting, and tasteful. You're one of the few who can make bricks out of straw. If you're interested in pursuing a career in design, now would be the time to take the plunge.
 .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) You're easily influenced by someone who wants to carve and shape you in their image. Although emulating your teacher will be fun at first, you'll eventually miss the activities you abandoned for their sake. Stay true to your own identity, even if it means pursuing a hobby that seems dull or boring to your mentor. You shouldn't have to make excuses for your tastes. They're what make you unique. Besides, you have plenty of friends with whom to pursue these interests.
 .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Trust your intuition when it comes to a love affair. Although the object of your affection doesn't show it, they are deeply devoted to you. It's just that you're comfortable showing your feelings, and your amour is not. Find ways of expressing your affection which speak to their shy, understated ways. A handwritten note slipped into their pocket will make more of an impact than an impassioned kiss at a party. Let subtlety be your motto in this relationship.

Greece - students repeat 1973 uprising motto (but then students do not understand debt)

Ελλάδα - οι μαθητές επαναλαμβάνουν 1973 σύνθημα εξέγερση (αλλά στη συνέχεια οι μαθητές δεν καταλαβαίνουν το χρέος)

http://www.euronews.net/ "Bread, Education, Freedom". It was the motto for Greek students from Athens Polytechnic University who took part in a historic uprising in November 1973, that led to the fall of the military junta.

38 years on, today's students are commemorating the anniversary. The same slogan has been penned again in large red writing on a white banner. Students and others placed flowers on a gate destroyed by a tank to quash the uprising.

"Ψωμί, Παιδεία, Ελευθερία". Ήταν το σύνθημα για τους Έλληνες φοιτητές από την Αθήνα Polytechnic University, ο οποίος έλαβε μέρος σε μια ιστορική εξέγερση τον Νοέμβριο του 1973, που οδήγησε στην πτώση της στρατιωτικής χούντας.

38 χρόνια μετά, οι μαθητές του σήμερα είναι για τον εορτασμό της επετείου. Το ίδιο σύνθημα έχει έγραψε και πάλι στην μεγάλη κόκκινη γραφή σε μια λευκή σημαία. Φοιτητές και άλλοι τοποθετούνται λουλούδια σε μια πύλη καταστράφηκε από μια δεξαμενή για να αναιρεί την εξέγερση.

http://www.euronews.net/ Thousands of people are expected to turn out in Athens to warn the new crisis coalition that they cannot take any more austerity.

It comes the day after the government won a confidence vote in parliament. It can take some encouragement from opinions polls suggesting that three quarters of Greeks back the new prime minister - a non-party technocrat, breaking decades of either socialist or conservative rule.
