vicar paid tribute to those who in the past had given the Mission Room as a base for Christian out­ reach and mission in this part of the parish. He hoped that the present generation would be faith­ ful to the firm founda­ tions of the Christian faith so faithfully pro­ claimed since the Mission Room was opened over 100 years ago.

Maybe you will not be very practical with the Sun moving into your chart area of grand plans, but you can always sort out what is workable in a few weeks time. This is the much more exciting stage of allowing your visions to fourish. Just watch an impulsive streak. Uranus dose to Mars now is prompting you to alter your attitude or life in some way.

Blessed with tact and diplomacy at the moment, you should notice a real improvement in your social life just now.

You will fight to defend your rights and to get your due. but do not be too possessive. Trying to be in control all the time can sometimes backfire, so you lose what you might have gained. Whatever else life is at the moment it’s certainly not boring. But it could be just a touch highly- strung or too impulsive at home so watch how you go. There are fairly revolutionary influences around that want you to see where you have been fitting in too much. The trick is to make changes without causing

You will not worry about voicing your feelings and your desires. More than anything what you want is to be applauded, so you will be hamming it up madly at times, but so charmingly that everyone will clap even harder. There could be a tremendous release of tension with the dynamic influences around now. But they may also prompt you to say too much In haste and come to regret it In a few days’ time.

Regard this as a waiting period of a few weeks, when you plan, ponder and prepare for what is due nearer your birthday. Do not be discouraged


by what is not working out as quickly as you expected. Nothing comes together spectacularly well at tills time of the year for you. Just have patience.
