TURNING BACK TIME Recognise anyone in this photo? Taken back in 1959, it shows students at Ermington West Public School. In the photo young students can be seen sitting on chairs and reading outside, as a teacher supervises. Still operating today on Vignes Street, Ermington West Public School strives to turn students into self-motivated learners with the personal skills for future success.

HOROSCOPES Relax & Unwind AQUARIUS JANUARY <strong>21</strong> TO FEBRUARY 19 PISCES FEBRUARY 20 TO MARCH 20 ARIES MARCH <strong>21</strong> TO APRIL 20 With the fiery Full Moon activating your bohemian side and Jupiter jumping into your self-expression zone, it’s time to do your own thing, in your own highly individual way. Don’t play it too safe though. Forge your own path and follow your unique dreams. The more adventurous and inventive you are, the luckier you’ll be! Draw inspiration from by birthday great Cher, “The people who make a difference in the world are the ones who aren’t afraid to be themselves.” Thursday’s Full Moon fires up your career zone so it’s a good week to set professional goals, apply for a job or seal a business deal. Then prosperity planet Jupiter transits into your domestic zone on the weekend. So sometime over the next 12 months is a great time to redecorate, renovate, build an extension, sell property, buy a new home, relocate or start a home-based business. Good fortune could also come via a loved one, distant relative or family friend. Thursday’s Full Moon motivates you to be adventurous, and then Jupiter shifts into your study and local travel zone. So this week is all about education and exploration. With your ruler Mars charging through your sign, it’s imperative to strike while the iron is hot! Be inspired by music pioneer (and fellow Aries) Diana Ross, “You can’t just sit there and wait for people to give you that golden dream. You’ve got to get out there and make it happen for yourself.” TAURUS APRIL <strong>21</strong> TO MAY <strong>21</strong> GEMINI MAY 22 TO JUNE <strong>21</strong> CANCER JUNE 22 TO JULY 22 JOANNE MADELINE MOORE Boho Astro bohoastro.com @JoMadelineMoore © Joanne Madeline Moore <strong>2024</strong> Quit wasting time Taurus! The Sun, Venus and Jupiter are spending their last days in your sign, which provides a golden opportunity to fine-tune who you are and where you’re going … quick smart! The fiery Full Moon also pushes you to draw up a creative plan, as you start transforming your dreams into reality. Be inspired by birthday great Stevie Nicks, “Dreams do come true, but not without hard work, determination, and a little bit of magic.” It’s a big week for Geminis as the Sun, Venus and Jupiter all transit into your sign. So it’s time to be creative, cooperative, adventurous and generous. Over the next 12 months make the most of travel and prosperity planet Jupiter jumping through your sign as you explore, experiment and enthuse. Here, there and everywhere! Your motto for the moment is from birthday great Bob Dylan (who turns 83 on Friday), “There is nothing so stable as change.” The Full Moon fires up your wellbeing zone so it’s time to focus on your health. Have you been burning the midnight oil and now you’re suffering from burnout? Or have you been running around on autopilot, making careless mistakes? The Sun, Venus and Jupiter shift into your solitude zone, so slip into hermit Crab mode as you slow down, simplify your life, prune projects or organise a digital detox. Meditation, contemplation, and relaxation are a must. L E O JULY 23 TO AUGUST 23 V I R G O AUGUST 24 TO SEPTEMBER 23 L I B R A SEPTEMBER 24 TO OCTOBER 23 Thursday’s Full Moon fires up your creativity zone, so you’re in the mood to dance, draw, paint, perform, play music and/or sing up a storm! Then Jupiter jumps into your hopes and wishes zone, where it stays until June 2025. So it’s time to set goals for the future and make longterm plans. And don’t make them too safe and sensible. Go for gold, as generous Jupiter helps you envision ambitious dreams and inspiring schemes over the coming year. The Sun, Venus and Jupiter cruise into your career zone. So – if you want to get ahead – strive to work smarter, not just harder. And, if you choose to take on a professional challenge in the coming year, you’ll find the benefits will far outweigh the difficulties. When it comes to a complicated family matter, avoid quick fixes. Instead, be patient and do all the research that’s required. Virgo vigilance and close attention to details will result in a satisfactory solution. Lady Luck is calling, as Venus (your power planet) links up with prosperity planet Jupiter. So it’s a good week to enter a competition, buy a lottery ticket, start a new job or go on a first date. With Jupiter transiting into your travel zone, foreign shores beckon over the next 12 months. So start planning your itinerary now – and make sure you keep up to date with your international contacts. Thursday’s Full Moon highlights social media, education and conversation. SCORPIO OCTOBER 24 TO NOVEMBER 22 SAGITTARIUS NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER <strong>21</strong> CAPRICORN DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 20 This week’s stars fire up your financial zones. Thursday’s Full Moon could bring money matters to a head. Then luck and loot are linked from <strong>May</strong> 26 onwards, when Jupiter (planet of good fortune) transits through your money-fromothers zone. So – over the coming year – expect a boost to your bank balance via a pay rise, work bonus, superannuation payout or extra business. Any windfall won’t last long if you don’t manage it wisely though. The Sun, Venus and Jupiter (your patron planet) transit into your partnership zone. So – when it comes to close relationships – it’s time to be creative, cooperative, adventurous and generous. Attached Archers – pamper your partner and show them they are Number One. Unhappily single? True love is on the way, as long as you believe. Your mantra is from birthday great Stevie Nicks (who turns 76 on Sunday), “I live in the realm of romantic possibility.” Thursday’s fiery Full Moon highlights your humanitarian side. Being of service to others (with kindness and compassion) brings joy and satisfaction. Plus take the time to savour and enjoy the simple things in your everyday life – like a kiss from a child or a walk in the park. Then Jupiter (planet of good fortune) jumps into your work and wellbeing being zone on the weekend, which is good news for health matters and job satisfaction for the rest of the year.
