In 2007 08 just five employees took home more than $100k. Now it s 28, with five of those earning more than $150,000. The salaries based on a nine-day working fortnight and which include time-off-in-lieu for attendance at council and committee meetings have contributed to a blow-out in Stirling s staff budget from $46.2 million in 2007 to $77.8m in 2012. Ex-councillor Paul Collins says the high pay is unjustified but elected members have little power to act. I raised rising employee costs during my term as a councillor and it was to little avail, he told the Voice. Everything is very cosy for staff at Stirling...with staff expenses rising from $46.2m in 2007 to $77.8m in 2012 whilst actual capital expenditure has fallen, or at best fl atlined since 2007. Mr Collins says the city s infrastructure is deteriorating while executive pay, with cushy conditions, balloons. Perth city council has 18 executives on more than $100,000, Bayswater nine and Vincent four. They compare to 273 staff at Verve Energy on more than $150,000 a year, 228 at Western Power, 226 at the Water Corporation and 41 at Synergy. Stirling human resources chief Angela Wolstencroft says the high salaries are needed to attract the best talent. Salaries are reviewed to Fat cats fatter ensure that they re competitive with the ever-changing economic environment by enabling the city to recruit and retain the resources it needs to provide its services to the community, she says. The City of Stirling recorded its highest level of customer satisfaction ever this year, being 89 per cent. She says the introduction of a nine-day fortnight in 2007 reduced turnover significantly from just under 30 per cent in 2008 to under 13 per cent in 2012. The highest Stirling earner is CEO Stuart Jardine, who earns between $280,000 and $290,000 before bonuses and allowances. A year after Mr Jardine joined Stirling in 2007 the number of executives on more than $100k leapt from five to 21. Ms Wolsencroft says the CEO has the biggest local government job in WA. To put this into context, the CEO salary package is on par with similar sized LGAs in other states of Australia. Stirling is WA s biggest council with 1100 employees, 202,000 residents and a budget of more than $200 million. Chatfield, page 4 Moira bounces back Doctor s orders Do you work in an office?

Views sought on Aussie burqa ban by STEPHEN POLLOCK UWA is surveying people on what they think about banning the burqa in Australia. The survey, launched in April, was created by the Centre for Muslim States and Societies. Centre professor Samina Yasmeen says educators want to get a better idea of what Australian Muslims and non- Muslims think about the issue. We want to engage people of all ages and backgrounds, she said.

Hopefully we can get a deeper understanding of what Australians think. The survey includes questions about the wearing of the niqab [a cloth that covers the face] and hijab [head covering traditionally worn by Muslim women]. In 2010, France which has a tradition of secular primacy passed legislation to ban the burqa and niqab in public places. In January 2012, a law was accepted by the Dutch cabinet, banning any clothing that hides the wearer s identity. Fines for wearing a burqa in public go up to 380 euros.

The burqa debate reached fever-pitch in Australia in 2010 when Perth judge Shauna Deane ruled a witness would not be allowed to give evidence without removing her niqab. In 2011, Murdoch University s Dr Ameer Ali, head of the Muslim Advisory Group under the Howard Government, said the clothing was socially destabilising and hindered Muslim integration with Australian society. The 2006 Australian census recorded 340,392 Muslims living in Australia, with 23,827 (seven per cent) in WA. The survey (www.surveymonkey.com/s/ JTLC6CF) is online till December.

Lib MP wants right-wing ban by STEPHEN POLLOCK MICHAEL SUTHERLAND wants permanent no-right turns at the Beaufort and Walcott Streets intersection. The Mt Lawley Liberal MP says the intersection, crossed by has around 42,000 vehicles and 3800 pedestrians every day, has been designated a black spot by the RAC. It has been the source of numerous complaints and constituents to my office, the MP said. He recently convened a meeting between WA transport minister Troy Buswell, Main Roads and representatives from Stirling and Vincent councils to discuss the issue. It proposed: extending the 40kph zone to north of Beaufort St; Permanent no-right turns; Parallel pedestrian crossing signals. Vincent officers wanted to green-light the proposal, but councillors were unsure and voted to refer it to an advisory group. What we found elsewhere is that you do increase rat-running [when you ban turns], Cr Dudley Maier said. What is important is we get a red light camera there you can bet some will go through on a red light turn. Once you put [cameras] in there and you see a few fl ashes going off as the cars go through, the message gets out there. Meanwhile, Stirling officers have recommended approving the changes. Council will vote next week. Mr Buswell is backing the group s recommendations. GET RID OF UNWANTED HAIR PERMANENTLY! Offers For Packages Paid Up Front 1.

Andrew McDonald, an activist blogger from The Worst of Perth who spends his time mocking dodgy things around town, recently wrote to the WA transport minister decrying the art at Mt Lawley and calling for the station which services fewer than 500 a day to be closed. I wonder at the decision to spend large amounts of money on a station that according to the transport website is used by virtually nobody, Mr McDonald wrote in a letter he shared with the Voice. It is difficult to see why the station is even there, since it does not service the commercial centre Photo by Skink. Supplied: The Worst of Perth The station is situated in a very low-density residential area, the demographic of which would regard public transport as some kind of dangerous socialism of Mt Lawley (or anywhere else). The station is situated in a very low-density residential area, the demographic of which would regard public transport as some kind of dangerous socialism. Most of the day, even at peak times, the three sculptural figures purchased for no doubt vast amounts of money, greatly outnumber passengers on the platform. Surely the sensible thing to do would be to close the station and put the resources into either more trains or into the other better-used stations on the line. Maylands, for example, where thousands of drinkers will soon be fl ocking to Alannah MacTiernan s new bar. While Mr McDonald has been successful in pressuring Perth city council to remove questionable public art, Mr Buswell isn t budging. Patronage on public transport is increasing and patronage at Mt Lawley station is no exception, the minister s response said. Mt Lawley is one of the smaller stations on our network, but it is far from the smallest. More than half the patrons who regularly use Mt Lawley are school students. Closing Mt Lawley would spill its patronage to other stations. ANEETA, ARTILUX, CASEMENT, AWNING, LOUVER W W W. F R E M A N T L E D O O R.

The PCC says the more formal sister city relationships are highly regarded by the Chinese Government and people. voice [They] are an important leverage to access leadership, establish community links and to facilitate business operations. Cr Lily Chen (who hails originally from Nanjing in Jiangsu province) explained the importance of sister cities to her culture: The Chinese people always consider the blood relation is the highest one, that s why they move from friendship charter to the sister city.

Minister a small bar smoothie by DAVID BELL TERRY WALDRON has hinted at a thaw in WA s strict liquor licensing laws, with easier access to small bar licences potentially on the way. The WA racing, gaming and liquor minister fronted the Small Bar Association on Monday to tell members a rules review was pegged for late 2012. Small bar owners like David Durack from Helvetica are tired of being lumped in with big problem venues. Despite having had zero problems with drunks or yobs an application to remain open post-midnight took 18 months to approve. Mr Waldron says the current rules aren t bad, with 85 applications processed since the small bar category was created in 2007. I m always hearing about how we re always rejecting all these small bars, but since it s inception there s only been five refused, he says. Small bar owners say the red tape, expense and time are major bug-bears. A series of off-the-record conversations between the Voice and nervous applicants reveals many feel they re walking on egg shells, and finding the process confusing and overlybureaucratic. The tentative ideas for the review include: making it easier for small bars to pass a public interest assessment test, as they re not as troublesome as big high impact venues; increasing maximum occupancy from 120 to 150; dropping the three-year cooling off period between rejection and re-application. Mr Waldron says he supports small bars and wants to make the process easier for start-ups. I think they ve been very successful. I think they ve been welcomed by the public so I m a supporter. The association greeted his comments with cautious optimism. 2012-13 STATE BUDGET WESTERN AUSTRALIA 2012-13 State Budget Western Australia Advertisement The Liberal State Government s clear plan for WA Electric dreams by DAVID BELL ELECTRIC cars may soon replace the gas-guzzlers in Vincent city council s fl eet. Technical services chief Rick Lotznicker was like a kid with a new toy when he enthusiastically showed off a test model he s been driving around this week. He took the Voice and mayor Alannah MacTiernan for a ride showing how the light-weight car could zip up to high speeds with ease (and with practically no noise). It costs $2.80 to recharge the battery and that ll last about 120km. The cheaper end of petrol cars cost about $10 to cover the same distance. Mr Lotznicker s so impressed with the plug-in cars he s looking at buying more of the $38,000 vehicles to gradually replace the existing council fl eet. Ms MacTiernan says the cars are better for the environment and this is about walking the talk in reducing the council s carbon footprint. When the cars first came out she says a lot of her male friends reckoned they were sissy-mobiles, but they ve been proven wrong by the respectable performance. A lot of blokes have a real prejudice against this technology, she says. I wanted to put some of the male drivers into re-education camps, because they said these Vincent mayor Alannah MacTiernan gets friendly with a funky new electric car belonging to council technical services chief Rick Lotznicker. Photo by David Bell they said these things can t pull the skin off a custard, but they re wrong! Alannah MacTiernan things can t pull the skin off a custard, but they re wrong! The council has also recently installed a couple of electric car charge points at Beaufort Street carpark (near Barlee Street) and the Avenue car park, an initiative of former councillor Sally Lake. Mr Lotznicker says usage of the charge points has been low, but the council wants to set a good example.

Council rubs out home massage attempt by STEPHEN POLLOCK A BAYSWATER woman has been denied permission to conduct Chinese massage from her Whatley Crescent home after neighbours complained it was intended to be used as a brothel. While councillors rejected Zhi Mei Wu s application on technical grounds related to a lack of parking, Cr Graham Pittaway complained the decision was really based on certain perceptions and innuendos. Ms Wu has a massage certificate from China but no Australian accreditation for herself or two prospective employees. The business would have been open 9am to 9pm, seven days a week, and Ms Wu estimated she would have had around 10 customers a day. There were seven objections, four alleging the proposed home business is intended to be used as a brothel. We need to issue a deputation and bring the applicant into chambers and talk with them, Cr Pittaway said. Otherwise we are basing our decision on peoples perceptions not on what their real intentions maybe. But his plea fell on dear ears and the council voted to refuse the application. No Chinese massage allowed here. Photo by Jeremy Dixon Compulsory vote call by DAVID BELL BRING on compulsory voting at local government elections, Vincent mayor Alannah MacTiernan reckons. She has the support of most of the Vincent council, but is facing stiff opposition from the WA local government association. Ms MacTiernan says compulsory voting will encourage people to engage with local government and get the state and federal levels to take councils seriously. The other tiers of government dismiss us by saying two-fourths of bugger all came out to vote in your community, Ms MacTiernan told colleagues at this week s meeting. She says there s an unfounded fear that compulsory voting will lead to political parties taking over. She says that kind of thinking that rusted-on party voters will blindly vote for a party-endorsed candidate is outdated. It s based on a notion that is diminishing in time... I don t think [parties] will dominate the way you think. I do think it s about getting more people engaged, and getting more credibility for local government. Cr Matt Buckels quietly pointed out it wasn t like councils were free of party politics now. Voluntary voting never hurt the ALP at Vincent, he chuckled, referring to a slew of Labor mayors including Jack Marks, John Hyde, Nick Catania and now Ms MacTiernan. WA local government minister John Castrilli is a former Bunbury mayor and Mt Lawley Liberal MP Michael Sutherland a former deputy lord mayor of Perth. Cr Buckels said it s not like Vincent has had a history of Liberal tyrants. Am I being quoted? he asked, turning to the press table. The council will tell the WA government it wants compulsory voting introduced. Escape the Hustle and Bustle of the City Give your business some extra juice! Under an hour from Perth!

Shaken but undeterred by DAVID BELL MOIRA MARTIN was caught unawares when two hoodlums attempted to steal her bag at Morley Galleria a few weeks back. In the ensuing struggle the Mount Lawley resident suffered a broken rib and ended up in hospital. I think a lot of my confidence went, the 60-year-old told the Voice. It s had more of a mental effect and certainly it knocked me about. I was a bit wary of going into the Galleria again. In between campaigning to get back into parliament, Bob Kucera heads up the WA Council on the Ageing. The former copper puts out a free pamphlet advising how seniors can keep safe. Tangled One of his key recommendations is to carry a bag in the hand instead of over the shoulder where it can get tangled if grabbed. If they grab them you will be pulled over and may be badly injured, he says. Mr Kucera says seniors shouldn t play the hero, even if their instinct is to fight back. Ms Martin, a keen fencer, says she ll have to give swordplay a miss while she recovers. I probably won t be going back to fencing this winter, she says. That s one effect of it. I m not going to risk my arm. The keen traveller says she only ever has trouble when home in Perth. I ve done a lot of travelling on my own in some weird and wonderful places around the world, and this is only the second time I ve been hit. Egypt, Jordan, Greece, I worked through America from Hawaii to New York and I was never attacked like this. But that s twice in Perth. WHAT S NEW Moira Martin says she s been assaulted twice in Perth but never during travels to places like Egypt, Jordan, Greece and the US. Photo by Matthew Dwyer Kinesiology Awaken your old self!

Perth CEO calls it a day by DAVID BELL PERTH city council CEO Frank Edwards is retiring and the council will spend $50,000 looking for his replacement. After 10 years in the job he s decided it s time for new leadership. Mr Edwards declined a formal interview for now (saying he d rather reminisce when he actually leaves in September) but we did catch up in the elevator, where he confided he s planning to move to his home in Margaret River and contemplate the next stage of my life. Long-held visions In a written media statement Mr Edwards said his time at the helm, has been an exciting 10 years that has seen the City grow and develop, along with the realisation of several long-held visions for the city, such as the City Link and Waterfront projects. The PCC will pay a recruitment firm about $50,000 to search Australia-wide for a new CEO. The advertised remuneration package is $327,034 per year, (about the same as premier Colin Barnett). Mr Edwards graduated from Frank Edwards retiring. Duntroon and rose through the ranks to colonel, serving at posts in Australia, the US and Papua New Guinea. He entered local government as CEO of the Town of Kwinana, before taking up the Perth city council post in April 2002. He continued to serve in the Reserves until December 2003, retiring at the Mr Edwards graduated from Duntroon and rose through the ranks to colonel, serving at posts in Australia, the US and Papua New Guinea. rank of Brigadier (some about town still surreptitiously refer to him as the Brigadier ). A stickler for discipline and appearances, Mr Edwards has occasionally taken aim at the Voice s casual style of dress at council meetings, and on one occasion attempted to evict us from the dining room for wearing jeans (lord mayor Lisa Scaffidi took a vote and it was decided this scruffy reporter could stay). Killer dogs on the loose by DAVID BELL TWO dogs that mortally mauled a westie maltese at Banks Reserve in East Perth three weeks ago remain at large. The small dog, Mr Moo, had been out for a walk May 3 with his owner when two big pitbulls savaged him so badly he required euthanising. Distraught owner Stewart confronted the pitbulls owner, who callously remarked, you should have got a bigger dog. Vincent council started snooping around to track the man and his dogs and had narrowed the search to an owner of two American staffordshire terriers on Zebina Street. But Stewart says they re the wrong dogs. Tasted blood I am concerned that there are two American pitbull terriers who have attacked and tasted blood still within the community who pose a potential risk, dog-loving council CEO John Giorgi said in a media statement this week. I appeal to anyone with information about this case, or the owner of the responsible pitbull terriers to come forward and cooperate with the city s rangers so we can take measures to prevent this tragic incident from occurring again. The council has no other leads and will now scale back its search. Stewart says it s like someone walking around with two loaded guns in his pockets. If you know anything about two aggressive pitbulls living near Joel Terrace or the Banks Reserve area, call the rangers on 9273 6000. Next time it could be a child.

by DAVID BELL VINCENT city council has voted to pour $107,000 into a conservation revamp of Anzac Cottage in Mount Hawthorn. The Kalgoorlie Street cottage was built during the Great War as a memorial with a difference: to serve as a home for a returned serviceman. Anne Chapple s grandfather lived there and in her history of the house she writes one small group in Perth, inspired by the brave men of Gallipoli, was determined to make some sort of gesture in honour of their fellow countrymen, and to commemorate the Gallipoli landing. The plan faced difficulties: Money was scarce in those days, and many of the able-bodied men were off fighting. But on February 12, 1916, a swarm of 4000 onlookers watched as 200 labourers erected the cottage, almost completing the exterior in a single day. The house was to go to a returned soldier, Ms Chapple says. And this honour was given to my grandfather, Cuthbert John Porter. The reasons for this choice are not entirely clear, but it seems from the relevant newspaper articles that he was chosen because he was one of the first wounded soldiers to return from Gallipoli and to live in the area. A newspaper of the time, The Westralian Worker (which John Curtin was to later edit) described it thus: A few months ago the whole world was thrilled by what was described as the greatest feat of arms in the annals of warfare the landing of the Australians at Gaba Tepe. One of those heroes who covered our young nation with imperishable glory on that occasion has come to live at Mount Hawthorn... Ms Chapple recalls, my grandfather faithfully raised the Anzac fl ag every Anzac Day at 4am and Remembrance Day until his death in 1964. In the 1980s the house was the subject of a legal battle, but was saved from the wreckers ball and is still used as a memorial. The Friends of Anzac Cottage now open the place to the public, with New lease of life for Anzac Cottage Anne Chapple at Anzac House. Photo by Jeremy Dixon hundreds turning up every time. Over the years its condition has deteriorated. Ms Chapple says the extra cash will help the Friends expand its displays and tell the full inspirational story of the cottage, including a little-known history where in a refl ection of the original construction, a group of Vietnam Veterans came together and undertook renovations after years of neglect. The Friends are hoping the upgrades will be complete for the centenary of Anzac Cottage in 2016. KEEP FIT & EARN MONEY Earn $100 to $300/wk for 8 14 hrs. Delivering & collecting catalogues.

ESTATE DAVID BELL WE RE 19 fl oors up and I can see all the way to Fremantle s cranes looming over the port. This generously broad two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit on Terrace Road takes full advantage of the amazing views of Perth s front lawn, the Swan River and South Perth, with full-length windows giving unmitigated sightlines in both the living room and main bedroom. The developers have gone for something a bit speccy, and there s a lot of room up here with raised ceilings, pretty spacious bedrooms and a big entertainer s balcony (I m already thinking of the logistics of hauling up a barbie). Fully furnished The chef s kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, built-in water filter, granite benchtops, glass splash backs, and an ice-making fridge plugged into the plumbing. It s worth noting the place is being sold fully furnished. This means it s a ready-to-go investment opportunity, and with rents as high as they are in WA you can see why this might pay off pretty quickly. It s been getting about $1300 rent per week. If you rent it out as short-term accommodation you d have less regular income but could get more per night, and it could make a handy holiday apartment. The complex itself has a few bells and whistles too: Two secure undercover car bays, a 21-metre heated pool, outdoor spa, gym and sauna, barbie area and a games room with a pool table. Any pool player knows it s almost impossible to find a home big enough to house a pool voice estate table (people always forget about the length needed for cues). Locationwise, well... too obvious.

Travel the Globe Tickets can be purchased at the bar or by calling the hotel. Tickets are selling fast MEDIOCRE Italian restaurants are tena-penny. They clog the streets like congealed gnocchi. But good ones are worth seeking out, so the Voice decided to visit Globe Coffee House/ Trattoria. Opposite Astor Arcade in Beaufort Street, Globe occupies a prime spot in the retail heart of Mt Lawley. The dining area is a cosy annex: Crammed with dark wainscoting, shrubs and an overhanging canopy. Even though you are only a spaghetti strand from Beaufort Street, you feel insulated from the bustling trucks and busses. The lunch menu is a mix of panini, pasta, burgers and salads. BY OPENING THE DOOR TO US, YOU RE HELPING US OPEN THE DOOR TO OTHERS. To donate by credit card, call 13 SALVOS (13 72 58) or visit salvationarmy.org.au RED SHIELD APPEAL FOOD STEPHEN POLLOCK An all-day breakfast menu is also available. I went for the calamari salad ($21.50), while er indoors ordered bacon and egg quiche ($15). The ordering system is akin to a bar, where you shuffl e to the counter and pay upfront. The waitress was punctual and it wasn t long before I was slurping down a refreshing granita ($6): a slurry of ice and sharp lemon. My squid quickly followed and was arranged in neat concentric circles on a bed of lettuce. Be Delicious Be Thailicious The Modern Thai Cuisine LUNCH SPECIAL FROM $ 10.90 (Tues Sun) For a brief moment it reminded me of a famous Kandinsky painting debased in poster shops around the world: transforming genius into coffee table kitsch. The squid was tender and tasted as fresh as a nun s cassock, while the batter was negligible and didn t require an axe to cut. The accompanying salad was token and paltry: Italian lettuce and some sliced tomatoes drizzled in balsamic vinegar. An anticlimax given the price tag. But the dipping sauce had a mild, peppery heat which elevated the dish to a B+. Meanwhile, the good lady was wading through her quiche: a prodigious slab of egg and bacon. She praised the dainty pastry and fl uffy filling, which mingled in the pit of her mouth. It s very light and has a nice spongy texture, she said, as her knife clattered off the bottom of the plate. The quiche was piping hot, an added bonus, as cafes tend to specialise in serving lukewarm incarnations. Globe has an intimate feel and mimics an Italian trattoria. The mains were tasty but the side salads could do with a fillip. A good shout for a cosy lunch in Mt Lawley.

Would he have locked the brass section in tuba cases and jettisoned them into deep space? Six WAAPA music teachers decided to find out and created a digital conductor to lead their ensemble, Decibel. The computer-brain controls tempo, musical score, drum loops and pre-processing. The result is the penumbra between classical music and avant grade electronica. Decibel s Lindsay Vickery, who lectures in composition and music technology at WAAPA, says the group wanted to approach classical music from a unique angle. We wanted to freshen things up and change the way in which our instruments are played and the music is presented, he says. Decibel ditched traditional music notation in favour of semiotics: Shapes, maps and colours scroll by on a laptop, instructing musos what to play. Some scores have a predictable pattern, while others are more random, Vickery says. It gives the music a more fl uid quality, where we can explore sounds and textures. The score doubles as a visual backdrop and is beamed onto a screen overhanging the ensemble. ARTS STEPHEN POLLOCK The computerbrain controls tempo, musical score, drum loops and preprocessing Many musicians with perfect pitch claim to see notes and keys in terms of colours, while synesthetes interpret letters and numbers as colours. Decibel will showcase pieces by contemporary Aussie composers Joe Stawarz and Anthony Pateras in their upcoming Perth show. The sextet is inspired by modern composer Philip Glass (who pioneered a minimalist sound) and ambient artist Brian Eno. In one of our first concerts we played Brian Eno s Music for Airports [a seminal ambient album], Vickery says. We recreated the original performance using huge analog machines, looping tape across the stage. We are open to all new music and our latest concert will feature a piece written by indie artist Amber Fresh. The ensemble, formed in 2009, includes a bass fl ute, bass clarinet, viola and an electric guitar. After three years of performing a computer-driven live show, Vickery says they have managed to eradicate most technical gremlins. I would like to describe the on-stage computer system as robust, he laughs. There s still the odd blip, but no rebooting! Sounds like HAL 9000 is still enjoying the music, but how long before he utters the words, I m sorry Lindsay, I m afraid I can t do that.

Where there was trudging through wet blacksoil, there is now skipping and dancing on a clear and open path. Past doubts and despairs now look somewhat ridiculous. This forward motion is stronger than anything holding you back. TAURUS (Apr 21 May 20) Rest a little. You are out of the limelight. Get on with what needs to be gotten on with. It will be easier, now that you aren t the centre of attention. Your omens are still very good. Playfulness and good fortune are bouncing around and bringing you plenty of smiles. GEMINI (May 21 June 21) The Sun has just arrived, bringing in the birthday season. Be logical when everyone expects you to be intuitive. Be unpredictably creative when everyone expects you to be linear. In short, have a great time defying expectations. You aren t here to conform. Love and play. CANCER (June 22 July 22) The Moon has passed by. She has deepened your confi dence. Rather than second-guessing your moods, embrace them with abandon. Deep feeling is not to be shunned. Forget that myth of you supposedly having a big shell. You are deep water. Flow, as per your nature. LEO (July 23 Aug 22) The Moon brings a certain moodiness to your sunny disposition. Your golden aura is not being eclipsed. You are being given the gift of added feeling. Embrace it without resistance. Get to know your emotions a little better, before you label them as being diffi cult, VIRGO (Aug 23 Sept 22) Information and communication are vital. If you want to get your pet project rolling, it will depend on how well you can inform and educate yourself and then those around you, about what you are up to. Your natural thoroughness is a requisite virtue. Roll on. LIBRA (Sept 23 Oct 23) Venus is in Gemini. This makes you a little more playful and slightly more capricious than usual. It means there is more chance than normal of your upsetting the applecart, with intention. The great Libran lesson is to dare to create a bit of a mess. Do it beautifully. SCORPIO (Oct 24 Nov 21) Under all that is going on, you are apparently engaged in holding down your fi re. It s not going to work. It will work better to acknowledge that you might be a little more upset than you think. Then that fi re can be released and be replaced by laughter. Shake it off. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 Dec 21) There are powerful shifts in the air, where there were previously merely ideas being entertained. Life is about to get you out of any dream states you have been in. It will insist that you be very aware, alert and on your game. Embrace all fresh options enthusiastically. CAPRICORN (Dec 22 Jan 19) Life keeps surprising you with curve-balls - or are they doosra s? It keeps annoying you with its inconsistency and unpredictability. Getting edgy isn t serving you well. It s starting to amuse your cohorts way too much. Experiment with lighter responses to randomness. AQUARIUS (Jan 20 Feb 18) As a gaggle of planets drift into Gemini, so the pressure lifts. Life seems more playful and mysterious. Your lessons are defi nitely more experiential than academic these days but they aren t heavy. Juggle your challenges, with a Mona Lisa smile on your face. PISCES (Feb 19 Mar 20) Though apparently innocent, as you drift through the ocean, you are presently a major player. Decisions that have to pass by you, are put through a very thorough test. You aren t about to agree to fl uffy notions, or misbegotten passions. Do your bit to keep it real.
