.
Aries
(Mar21/Apr20) A friend who is always late or forgetful lets you down again. At
this point, you must decide whether this relationship is really worth your time.
You're not the type who can stand around patiently waiting for someone to show
up. Of course, you should be honest about why you want to part ways. As crazy as
it sounds, this inconsiderate creature won't understand how their behaviour has
inconvenienced you. Some people are so self obsessed they'll never learn the art
of diplomacy.
.
Taurus
(Apr21/May21) You're not getting a lot of support from a colleague, which is
really frustrating. At times, you feel like you're being treated like a rival,
rather than a collaborator. Maybe there is some truth to that. You've been
blessed with impressive creative abilities. No matter how much a workmate tries,
they'll never be able to outshine you. Don't apologise for your abilities.
Continue to flaunt them, even if it means your relationship becomes more
intense.
.
Gemini
(May22/Jun21) You must acquire more practical skills before landing a high
powered job. Fortunately, you're a fast learner and should have no trouble
mastering lessons. Still, it may take some time before you earn an official
degree. That's a difficult prospect for a restless person like you. Still, when
you consider the value of having a stimulating career, the sacrifice is worth
it. Explore programs that will help you command prestigious work, and take
tuition into consideration.
.
Cancer
(Jun22/Jul23) Pay careful attention to joint finances. If you've run up a lot of
credit card debt without your partner's knowledge, come clean. The two of you
can devise a plan for paying off the balance as quickly as possible. Do you
really want to put your relationship in jeopardy for the sake of pride? If you
have a problem with spending beyond your means, devise strategies for staying
solvent. Find ways to fill your time that don't involve shopping.
Leo
(Jul24/Aug23) No matter how much you try to help your best friend or lover,
they'll never change. You'll have to leave them to their own devices. It pains
you to stand idly by while they struggle, but coming to their rescue will only
compound the problem. Everybody needs to accept the consequences for their
actions. When others swoop in to protect them from danger, they fail to learn
valuable lessons. Remember, caring about somebody doesn't mean acting as their
saviour.
.
Virgo
(Aug24/Sep23) Normally, you're vigilant about details. You're the type to double
check your work before handing it in. Right now it's hard to focus. You can't
get your mind off a special person who has captured your imagination. Instead of
attending to your chores, you're daydreaming about the next time you'll see your
amour. Be careful about dropping your standards. Follow instructions to the
letter, and ask for clarification if you're confused.
.
Libra
(Sep24/Oct23) Resist the urge to enter into a romance with an obviously troubled
person. Yes, you find their situation incredibly sad, but much of it is self
imposed. By holding out for someone who can support themselves and handle life's
daily challenges, you'll fare much better. Don't let the martyr in question make
you feel guilty for turning them down. You have every right to choose the lover
that's best for you. Don't defend your decision when you know you're right.
.
Scorpio
(Oct24/Nov22) This is not a good time to decide any property matters. Whether
you want to buy, sell, or rent, there will be hidden aspects of the deal that
will ultimately work against you. You're better off holding out for an agreement
that clearly delineates your rights and obligations. If you're going to buy a
place, have it inspected by a respected professional before signing any papers.
Structures that look good to the naked eye can have costly problems like mould
and wood rot.
.
Sagittarius
(Nov23/Dec21) It's time to see things as they really are, not the way you'd like
them to be. You're being forced to face some unpleasant realities. Perhaps
someone you trusted has betrayed you. Maybe an executive has abused their power.
It's even possible you've been robbed of valuable resources. Whatever the source
of your anxiety, you've got to adopt a more practical view. Don't entrust people
with your deepest secrets and precious possessions until they've proved their
loyalty.
.
Capricorn
(Dec22/Jan20) You've got to be a lot more vigilant about your finances. It's not
enough to spend all your pay or live up to your monthly allowance. You've got to
put a portion of your income into savings, where it will gather interest and
protect you from unforeseen emergencies. If you're not sure where to begin, take
a course in money management. You've got a very practical mind, and should apply
it towards protecting your interests. Nobody will handle your money better than
you.
.
Aquarius
(Jan21/Feb19) Don't let your imagination run away with you. You might be caught
up in a work related intrigue. Ultimately, it is a tempest in a teapot. You're
better off channelling your energy into your day to day responsibilities. By
refusing to get into a power struggle, you'll save yourself a lot of trouble.
You might want to stay away from the newspapers and television. All the terrible
world events have a terrible effect on your outlook.
.
Pisces
(Feb20/Mar20) You're extremely sensitive, which can cause setbacks. Often, you
use your intuition to discover hidden opportunities and privileged information.
Now your instincts are prompting you to doubt people you should trust. Just
because someone is critical of your work doesn't mean they are your enemy. It's
entirely possible these comments come out of a real desire to help you. Resist
the urge to lash out whenever they advise you to alter your approach.

Egypt - Mubarak 'not a tyrant', defence lawyer tells trial
Published on Jan 17, 2012 by Euronews
http://www.euronews.net/ Hosni Mubarak was a 'just man, not a tyrant', according to his lawyer.
The former Egyptian President was again wheeled into court on a hospital trolley for his latest appearance at his trial.
He listened to the defence argue there was no legal case against him.
Unlike previous occasions when cameras have been present, this was a closed session.
Mubarak is a man with clean hands and a pure heart, the lawyer said, claiming the case was only brought because of public pressure.

USA - Gallup Reports Improvement in Unemployment

on Jan 17, 2012
U.S. unemployment is 8.3% in mid-January
-- a slight improvement from 8.5% in December -- as measured by Gallup.
This is without seasonal adjustment. The 8.3% is down from 9.9% in
January a year ago. Gallup's mid-month unemployment reading, which is
based on the 30 days ending January 15, serves as a preliminary estimate
of the U.S. report. Gallup suggests the Bureau of Labor Statistics will
likely report on the first Friday of February that its seasonally
adjusted unemployment rate declined once again in January.
Gallup also reports that the percentage of U.S. employees who are working part time but want full-time work is at 9.8% in mid-January, the same as in December. The mid-January reading is considerably higher than the 9.1% in January 2011.

The streets of San Bartolome de Pinares,
Spain are filled of smoke, the glow of burning wood and the clatter of
horse shoes on its streets. Jockeys are riding their horses as near as
they dare to a bonfire to mark the Feast of Saint Anthony. (Jan. 17)
