Brave, fearless, Uranus is in cahoots with wily Aries as they both inconjunct with a passionate Mercury midmonth. Sounds as if there is something you haven’t quite taken on board. For sure you are the missing link in something, but through no fault of your own. Know that all will be revealed to you, very soon.

It is a fi ery Saturn that gentle makes a play for your talents and all that you hold dear. Rich in energy and basking in wisdom, you are asked to slow down, review and chill, because timing is of an essence right now, and you have to allow for a hidden agenda. Don’t go blaming anything or anyone, and this will pay dividends.

Though you won’t want to hear this there is no better time to look within yourself than with the supported actions of Pluto and Capricorn calling the shots. A new direction beckons and you might not get another chance quite as good as this to have things exactly the way you want them, nor good communication to spread the word.

Anger has its place when it comes to motivating you to take things further, but you seem content and happy to take what can only be second best. Truly value your skills and admit that you have travelled a long way on that journey of life that now doesn’t have to please anyone except yourself, and all that you have worked so hard for.

With Mars on the way to accompany you, and with a kudos achieved by the squaring with a Direct Mercury hovering over you, it seems as if there is something currently not said that you are holding on to deep in side. The key to handling emotion is to love yourself more so as to balance the powerful ego with hopes and dreams.

Mercury lands into your space and allows an important message to get through. You have been stalling for time, but it is someone else who benefi ts from your hesitation and that cannot be right, anyway. You have seen a loophole and you should go for it, any which way. It is important that things be out in the open for all concerned.

Look to making headway with fi nances as you fi nally turn a corner, and enjoy an adjustment to your economic situation. Money works for you and you use your famous balance to resolve and restore even your fi scal obligations. Neptune sends powerful energy and a natural restoration to ensure that what you want is what you get.

The boxing gloves may be off , but the stored anger means that all is not over with your current complications. To be sure someone has rubbed salt into an old wound and this may be seen as a setback, or the base for appropriate actions on the very highest of levels. There is a journey you have to make, sooner, rather than later.

Jupiter crosses the Cosmos and brings a dramatic touch into play, just when you need guidance and the patience of a Saint. You are managing to keep it all inside you, but any help would be very acceptable right now when the chips are down. You may not have an alternative, but don’t lose sight of what you started all this for.

Pluto Directs towards the end of the month. It is vital that you carefully examine contracts; and anything that demands your signature should be placed on hold until after the weekend. Read the small print, and be careful with keys, money and your credit cards too. Pluto has a way of examining things from the roots upwards!

Chiron takes control, and releases you from something that you were secretly dreading. Inspiring and creative your life has to change so you can step up and achieve, not only to prove it to yourself, but to expand your directions, motivate your true destiny and be the real you. There comes a chance to say something, but will you.

A great week in which to get to clear a lot of the debris of your life and to make a fresh start. This does not mean that you are running away or having to re invent yourself in any way. It is however a great chance to show what you are made of, and to agree that you have been sleeping and now need to awake to new exciting levels.

MAL PAS BEACHThis is a small cove often missed by many visitors and is found at the end of the harbour road on the Poniente side of the Old Town. You can also reach it by steps from the top of the Old Town square known as La Señoria. This beach is popular with gay visitors especially in Winter when it is a sun trap.

PONIENTE BEACH (Popular gay area by the park at night)Beyond the Old Town starting at park Elche by the harbour and running for over 3km is the more sedate Poniente beach which is a favourite with local residents and Spanish families. The facilities are as good as the Levante but offer a less crowded space. Popular Gay area is in front of the park where you will also find the new Café Refuel the place to meet up after the Poniente beach for a beer and gossip. (Park Elx known as Dove Park also).

BENIDORM COVES - TI XIMO & ALMADRABAThese are small sandy coves reached by road at the far end of the Levante beyond the cable ski.

If you prefer to be more secluded these are recommended for the adventurous as it is quite a steep walk. There are no facilities so take plenty to drink and food if you are to spend an entire day there.

RACO CORNIL GAY PLAYA NUDISTA 4km FROM BENIDORMThis beach is best reached by hire car. Take the old Villa Joyosa road toward the casino. Take an immediate left at the casino and follow the road down to the car park where you will find a small rocky cove. The area both by the beach and at the top of the hill where you see a derelict Finca is very popular for all over sunbathing until sun down. The cove itself is mixed and is popular with Spanish couples too. You can walk if you take the number 5 or 41 bus to La Cala (From Park Elx by harbour) and walk over the hill. To get there face the beach and look to the right up the hill you will see a derelict villa set high up - head for it to get to the gay area which has been popular for 100 years! Take plenty of water with you as there are no facilities there.
