HOROSCOPE FOR 2016

2016 Horoscope Aries Being the first sign of the zodiac and representing the awakening powers of spring, the

astrological Ram is a frisky, impatient creature, quite prepared to lead from the front to make things happen, whether as inspiring pioneer or blunt battering ram.

2016Horoscope Taurus

You can consider the New Year as a benchmark to let you show your real potential and understand the priorities in your life. Last year, 2015, was basically a good year. The long-term planets were not

stressing you out and were mostly friendly towards you.

2016 Horoscope Gemini Ever alert, swift of thought and eager to savour the next of life’s multifarious delights, Gemini is customarily a

sign in a rush, if not in a spin. It follows that patience is not always the most prominent of the Twins’ many virtues. For the first month of 2016, however, you are asked to stop fidgeting and concentrate on matters in hand,

most notably the mundane world of money, property and assets.

2016 Horoscope Cancer As Cancer is the first water sign of the zodiac it is also Cardinal, making you emotional but dynamic. The zodiac’s four Cardinal signs mark the two solstices and equinoxes – the longest and shortest days and the two

halfway points, and in 2016 these four points of the cosmic clock usher in distinct seasons of your year.

2016 Horoscope Leo Royalty understandably likes to asociate itself with the Lion and its fierce, noble reputation. Your sign, however,

is about more than proudly looking down on lesser mortals (though Leo can do that too), it is ultimately concerned with the exaltation of the self, with the idea that everyone can be their own king and queen. It

follows that Leos aren’t averse to a spot of self-display and drama. In 2016 your chances to shine come fitfully.

2016 Horoscope Virgo As most Virgos have their head firmly screwed-on(rogue fantasists do exist), with their feet equally firmly on the

floor, lucky breaks don’t figure large in your sign’s outlook. Instead, Virgos incline to the view of moviemaker Sam Goldwyn: ‘The harder I work the luckier I get’.

2016 Horoscope Libra

There may be new sources of income by long distance travel or by reaching a wider audience (or customers). So the best investment would be in knowledge and education and the returns would be in the form of higher confidence, faith in oneself and possibilities in life. You have a tendency to become more intellectually curious, and educational matters go well. You are open to learning, particularly from unexpected (or uncommon) places and people.

2016 Horoscope Scorpio

There will be an overall increment in your wealth and this is an excellent time to work on financial planning and strategy. Expect sudden gifts or opportunities might knock your door. Financial gains may come through a partner. You may see gains or improvement in the areas of shared finances, joint possessions, inheritance, loans and taxes. Now all of this may be too confusing and too out of control at times, but it will be fun and you’ll appreciate where you land up by the end of the year.

2016 Horoscope Sagittarius

You are likely to establish or solidify a significant partnership. You’ll also make a lot of friends and find yourself negotiating with people. Shape yourself up as you’ll enjoy fame and popularity this year. You will discover a lot about yourself through a co-worker/partner. You are likely to reach out to people from various backgrounds and these associations could be confusing at times.

2016 Horoscope Capricorn

Being too preoccupied on the professional front may leave you with little or no time for your personal life this year. There shall be a sense of disconnect with your family members and frequently you shall find that you are not on the same page as them. However, you may expect some remarkable changes on both fronts, even though you may not be able to balance both. You shall become very ambitious professionally, and shall be in a tearing rush to climb to the top. Also, try to squeeze out some time for your near and dear ones. You may realise that you have distanced your friends too, including some of your best well-wishers, which is not such a happy state of affairs, so go out and try to make up for it.

2016 Horoscope Aquarius

This year you are likely to dig deep into your family history and try to find out more about your ancestors. You might just get the feeling that the stars are not in your favour. However, such is not the case. You not to become gloomy, but to keep your outlook as positive as possible and believe that things are bound to get better. But, at the same time make sure you don’t repeat past mistakes. Your personal and professional lives shall need attention. On and off throughout the year you shall feel like taking a break to meditate in the quest to gain peace of mind. Apart from negligible disputes at home and school, nothing that can adversely affect your security and happiness.

2016 Horoscope Pisces

There are favourable events lined up for you this year in various areas, such as education and even on the financial front. But issues related to joint finances and health are likely to pose a few tricky challenges. Don’t get swayed by emotions while taking decisions in any area of life, especially during the first half of the year. Use your intellect and deductive posers. You may not be able to find ready solutions to these problems, so it would be best for you to take things as they come without trying to have your way each and every time, and as time passes by, they shall get resolved on their own.

BURN’S NIGHT

Burns Night is annually celebrated in Scotland on or around January 25. It commemorates the life of the bard

(poet) Robert Burns, who was born on January 25, 1759. The day also celebrates Burns' contribution to

Scottish culture. Burns' best known work is "Auld Lang Synge".

Many people and organizations hold a Burns' supper on or around Burns' Night. These may be informal or

formal, only for men, only for women, or for both genders. Formal events include toasts and readings of pieces

written by Robert Burns. Ceremonies during a Burns' Night supper vary according to the group organizing the

event and the location.

At Burns' Night events, many men wear kilts and women may wear shawls, skirts or dresses made from their

family tartan. A tartan was originally a woollen cloth with a distinctive pattern made by using colours of weft

and warp when weaving. Particular patterns and combinations of colours were associated with different areas, clans and families. Tartan patterns are now printed on various materials.

Many types of food are associated with Burns' Night. These include: cock-a-leekie soup (chicken and leek soup); haggis; neeps (mashed turnips or swedes) and tatties (mashed potatoes);

cranachan (whipped cream mixed with raspberries and served with sweet oat wafers); and bannocks (a kind of bread cooked on a griddle). Whisky is the traditional drink.

HAGGIS,NEEPS AND TATTIES – YUMMY ;P

PECULIAR PEOPLE DAY

When : Always January 10th

Peculiar People Day is in honor of uniquely different people. Un-ordinary,

extraordinary, unusual, strange, odd, uncommon, intriguing, different, abnormal, and

quirky.... These are all things that we think of to describe the word "peculiar". Most

of these characteristics can be viewed as good, or not so good. Today is a day to look

for the good in your peculiar acquaintances.

If you are peculiar, this is your day to be honored and appreciated. Chances are, you

will find something peculiar about yourself, if you look hard enough. If you can't find

anything peculiar about yourself, then give some recognition and appreciation to

your quirky friends and family.
