...you may want to light a fire in the fireplace, pour the champagne, put out the chocolate truffles, and watch the lacy snowflakes gently fall right outside your window. You'll be glad that you're not in crowded overheated rooms, but at home with the one - or several people - who matter most to you. Dear Aquarius, Happy New Year!

Washington, D.C. Washington, D.C. is the capital of the United States of America (D.C., District of Columbia, named in honour of Columbus, the discoverer of America, is not a state but Federal land). It bears the name of the first US President George Washington and was created to be the seat of the government of the USA. President Washington took an active part in selecting the area of the District of Columbia (a hundred square miles from the states of Maryland and Virginia) and in designing the city. He called upon a famous French engineer Pierre Charles l,Enfant who draw the master plan of the city. In the very centre of the city rises the Capitol, the highest building of the capital. (Washington is an American city without skyscrapers.) From this centre the city is divided into four sections: North West, North East, South West and South East. The Capitol is also the point from which the city’s streets are numbered and lettered. The streets west and east of the Capitol are numbered. ...

Of course, Saturn hopes that you will have learned something from all you've come through and can make changes and corrections in the future. I am sure you have. Sometimes the lesson is to be less trusting, other times it is to put something aside - there are many possibilities, but at this point, you could write a book about what those might be!

HOBBY A hobby is an activity or interest that is undertaken for pleasure or relaxation in your spare time. Hobbies are practiced for interest and enjoyment, rather than financial reward. Examples include collecting, creative and artistic pursuits, making, tinkering, sports and adult education. Engaging in a hobby can lead to acquiring substantial skill, knowledge and experience. However, personal fulfillment is the aim. What are hobbies for some people are professions for others: a chef may enjoy playing computer games as a hobby, while a professional game tester might enjoy cooking. Generally speaking, the person who does something for fun, not remuneration, is called an amateur (or hobbyist), as distinct from a professional. It is easier to turn a Hobby Business into a money making opportunity because the driver is passion and to some degree obsession. Turning your passion into a business say for example in arts and crafts, a home studio is all you need; a space to be creative. Gift ...

LONDON London is the capital of England and the United Kingdom. It has been a major city for two millennia, and its history goes back to its founding by the Romans, when it was named Londinium. London is a major global city and one of the world's largest financial centres. London's influence in politics, education, entertainment, media, fashion, the arts and culture in general contributes to its global position. London's success as a service industry and business centre can be attributed to factors such as English being the native and dominant language of business, close relationship with the U.S. and various countries in Asia. London has a wide range of peoples, cultures, and religions, and more than 300 languages are spoken within its boundaries. In July 2007, it had an official population of 7,556,900 within the boundaries of Greater London, making it the most populous municipality in the European Union.

What makes September so difficult is that reality will bite and we will all need to read the handwriting on the wall. There will be no room for fantasy.

ABOUT MY FRIEND Julia is an extremely intelligent girl. I admire her delightful sense of humour. But at times she tends to act a little impulsively. Although she is generally a tolerant person, occasionally she reacts negatively if some small habit, such as nail-biting, annoys her. I’m fond of my friend, but I do get annoyed with her sometimes. She’s always arguing with me and, even, when she’s wrong, she never apologizes. (from “Fourth Dimension” by R. O’Neil and P.Mugglestone)

ABOUT MY FAMILY My brother is 22 years old. He is of a medium height and build, a bit stocky, but strong with it. He has long, curly fair hair. It is fashionable at the moment for men to grow their hair. His hair nearly reaches his shoulders. My mother is always telling him to get it cut. He doesn’t take much care over his appearance so he often looks quite scruffy. He hates having to wear a tie for work. When he’s at home he wears comfortable clothes such as T-shirts and jeans. He doesn’t care very much what he looks like. My other brother is much taller – he towers above me, even though he is only 15. He does quite a lot of sport so he’s quite strong and has well developed muscles. He has straight brown hair which refuses to lie flat and is always stroking up. He has bluish grey eyes and a little nose. He is clever and quiet and spends a lot of time at his computer. People sometimes think that he is morose and sullen but I don’t think that’s the case – he just prefers to think rath...
