We believe the the much maligned Spanish Government in it´s handling of the financial crisis (caused in a great part by speculators short selling) has handled the crisis very well - Credit where credit is due. However Easy Jet, Monarch, Ryan Air, British Airways and Iberia say that it could be a further 48 hours before the backlog of passengers is cleared.

Russell Grant’s Daily Horoscopes for Sunday 5 December 2010

Want your AstroChart? - Listen to Russell Grant via Real Audio

.

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You’re tired of getting caught up in the annoying details of life. Taking a class in religion, metaphysics, or mythology will be a welcome diversion. Sparks will fly between you and your teacher. It’s hard not to be attracted to someone who is so assured and experienced. Still, you should probably keep this relationship a secret from the rest of the class. You don’t want anyone to think your good grades are the result of being the teacher’s pet.

.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) You’re starting to heal from a painful situation, giving you hope for the future. A failed relationship or difficult job no longer has the hold on you it once did. Instead of dwelling on your pain, you’re able to focus on work. This is a great opportunity to acquire a professional skill. Learning a trade like plumbing, electricity, or woodwork might appeal to your practical mind. It will also be a great way to make money, as word of your talent will spread like wildfire.

.

Gemini (May22/Jun21) You’re ready to take some responsibilities off a partner’s shoulders. While you’re grateful for their help, you need to do more work or you’ll feel like you’re in a parent child relationship, instead of an equal partnership. A youngster needs guidance so don’t shy away from an embarrassing subject. By being open and honest, you’ll save them from hang ups you were once held prisoner by. Fortunately, you have a talent for putting complicated concepts in age appropriate terms.

.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) You’re starting to see the results of a fitness routine. Now you’ve made a good start, you can’t afford to backslide. Continue to fill your kitchen with nutritious foods and snacks. Stay away from rich desserts. Whenever you feel a craving, crunch your way through some celery and carrot sticks. Taking a walk can take the edge off, too. An older relative admires your progress, and will give you a fabulous token of their esteem. Place this gift where you’ll see and use it every day.

.

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) A love affair reaches an exciting new phase, prompting you to think about a future together. Making a serious commitment gives your life a sense of shape and meaning. The lost feeling that once plagued you has become a distant memory. Be sure to follow a manual’s instructions to the letter, or you could permanently damage an appliance. If you’re not sure how to proceed, call the manufacturer. In situations like these, it’s always better to ask for help than try to wing it.

.

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) A household job is done, allowing you to spend more time on your career. This comes as a secret relief; you were starting to get stir crazy. Fortunately, you’re about to get a raise or promotion. The money you earn should be placed in a savings account. Having a nest egg will give you the peace of mind to take creative risks. It will be much easier to paint, write, and play music when you know you have funds to sustain you through leaner times.

.

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) A situation that once seemed bleak isn’t so dire anymore. Maybe it’s because a friend who has been undergoing similar problems seems to have made it through the worst part unscathed. If you want to start a business, get to work with an advertising campaign. Spreading the word about your products and services will attract much bigger customer base. The cornerstone to your success is customer service. You have a gift for making every client feel valued and respected.

.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Lately, everybody has been taking advantage of your generosity. It’s up to you to put a stop to this trend. The next time a friend asks for a loan, refuse. You don’t need to give a reason; just a polite ‘no’ will suffice. If the person seeking help gets combative, you should question their loyalty. After all, your relationship shouldn’t be predicated on the idea that you’re a bank machine. Trust your instincts over this sponger.

.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Taking care of your needs should be your first priority. Lately, you’ve been running around in circles, trying to satisfy an overly demanding friend, relative, or colleague. Now you have an opportunity to do exactly what you like. Whether this means preparing your favourite meal, watching an old movie, or curling up with a good book is immaterial. The important thing is to work out your own feelings. You’re sick and tired of compromising for the sake of everybody else.

.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Talking about your deepest fears is the quickest way to dispel them. You’re tired of hiding your anxieties behind a calm veneer. What may surprise you is that so many people share this phobia. By talking with them, you’ll learn coping strategies. A respected doctor, therapist, or counsellor has written a book on the subject. Check it out from the library and make notes as you read. Taking the initiative will give your self esteem a much needed boost.

.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Your social life has been running you ragged. It feels like you haven’t had a moment to breathe, much less do chores. Fortunately, there’s a lull in your schedule that will allow you to catch up on all the work that’s been piling up. Once you get all these jobs off your plate, you’ll be able to focus on the things in life that bring you joy. Playing music, writing a screenplay, or designing a fashion line will be a welcome change.

.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) A public role is coming to a close, giving you more time for personal pursuits. On some level, you’re sad about losing all the prestige your position afforded. Still, it will be a relief to be out of the public eye. If work has cut into your exercise routine, you’ll have a wonderful opportunity to get back in shape. Sign up for a gym membership, get yourself a good pair of athletic shoes, and compile an upbeat playlist for your iPod.
