MEMBER FOR MOUNT LAWLEYSimon Millman
Rehab stoush
by STEPHEN POLLOCK
STIRLING council and the state government are at loggerheads over plans to sell off an old drug rehab site in Mt Lawley.
The site on Field Street was previously used by the WA Alcohol and Drug Authority, but has been vacant since the organisation relocated, and now the McGowan government is preparing to offload the land as part of its revenue-raising drive.
WA planning minister Rita Saffioti wants the site re-zoned to three-storey residential to cater for about 20 apartments, but the council’s planning committee says that would destroy the single-storey character of the area.
Strategic basis“...It may set a precedent
for owners of other sites to apply for their property to be rezoned with no strategic basis,” council officers wrote in a report.
“Development of multiple dwellings has taken place in the area, but this occurred circa 1960s before the area was deliberately downzoned to a low density zoning.”
The staffers noted that Stirling’s planning guidelines supported increased density along the Beaufort Street corridor, but not in surrounding areas.
Public consultation revealed that 53.4 per cent of respondents were against the re-zoning.
Mount Lawley Society president Paul Collins said they supported the government’s rezoning if the trees were retained in the north-east corner and there was parking access and egress at the rear right of way.
He says the council’s proposal of lower density would be an opportunity missed.
“Restricting the site to single residential R20 so close to the Mount Lawley town centre would be a huge opportunity lost to increase the vibrancy of the Mount Lawley town centre,” Mr Collins told the Voice.
“A single building of apartments opposed to five single residential buildings would also provide the opportunity for a better architectural outcome from a heritage perspective for such a prominent site.
“The society acknowledges that if the single residential density of our side residential streets are to be protected then density needs to occur on sites like this in a manner which is a win for everyone including those who support tree retention.”
The WAPC and Ms Saffioti will have final say.
RED lanterns will line the Roe-

Keeping it hyper-realby MATTHEW EELES
PERTH filmmakers Mat de Koning and Brooke Silcox want the public to help them finish their documentary on gifted artist Matt Doust, who tragically died in 2013.
29 Years Eight Days will explore the life of Doust, a hyper-realist portrait painter who died aged 29 following an epileptic seizure, just two weeks before his highly-anticipated debut show in Los Angeles.
Doust was born in Santa Monica, California but grew up in Perth.
“Matt Doust was my best friend,” de Koning told the Voice.
“Making this documentary has been hard, emotionally. I look back through this footage as I am editing and I think of what could have been. Brooke also knew Matt and this is a very personal project – an ode to a very dear friend of ours.”
Doust was a finalist in the

• Artist Matt Doust tragically died in 2013.
2011 Archibald Prize for his portrait of Perth-born actress Gemma Ward.
She and other members of the Perth arts community, including street artist Stormie Mills and musicians Joe McKee and Lindsay Troy, share stories about their eccentric friend in the doco.
The filmmakers are looking for donations to fund the latest stage of the production, which includes editing over 16 years’ worth of footage.
“How would you feel if you were left holding the legacy of your best friend in your hands?
It’s a hugely daunting task I am confronted with and I want to do it right,” de Koning said.
Silcox has been working closely with Doust’s mother, Lynn, to catalogue the artist’s work for the documentary.
“Lynn and I spent a lot of evenings and weekends over more than four years transcribing the poetry and writings in his journals and scanning his unseen sketches to collect over 5000 assets,” Silcox told the Voice.
Catalogued“Now that we have this
incredible work catalogued we want to share it with the world.”
Silcox and de Koning won awards for their debut feature Meal Tickets, a warts-and-all documentary about the rollercoaster journey of Perth band Screwtop Detonators.

VINCENT council has approved names for anonymous laneways around Beaufort Street.
There was some concern about the process, with Cr Ros Harley noted the criteria was inconsistent. Some Nyoongar words were approved while similar ones were deemed too generic and rejected.
“We need to play a little bit more hardball when a
government department says ‘computer says no’,” Cr Harley said.
Words like “bono” (wood) were rejected as “not local to the area”, but Boodja, meaning “ground, land or country,” was recommended for the laneway near Grosvenor Street.
The names were shortlisted by Landgate, with input from the Department of Aboriginal Affairs and the Whadjuk Working Group. Vincent councillors approved the final names this week, and it will
Names laned up
go back to Landgate for rubber stamping.
Cr Harley said it became tricky when laneways were named after people: “I don’t understand why one war veteran gets a laneway and another war veteran doesn’t.

AFTER 47 years of vinyl ecstasy, 78 Records in Perth is closing down
The record shop opened in 1971 in the Padbury Building on Forrest Place, and quickly became an integral part of Perth’s music scene, attracting record enthusiasts from across the state.
This week 78’s boss Andrew “Fang” de Lang posted on Facebook that he would be pulling down the shutters for the last time on March 3.
“This decision is due to the current economic and retail climate, with a substantial increase in streaming services at the expense of physical products.
Devotion“We thank all our customers,
past and present, for their patronage; indeed we have enjoyed those 47 years of commitment and devotion to the cause of music.
“It has been a pleasure to have played a considerable and significant part in the WA music retail industry since 1971.”
In recent years vinyl has enjoyed a renaissance with a whole new generation enjoying 180-gram reissues and hoary parents getting back into LPs

STIRLING councillor Karen Caddy is fighting a losing battle to become the Liberal candidate for Stirling at the looming federal election.
Under WA Liberal Party rules a candidate must have been a member for at least 30 days before nominating, but Ms Caddy only signed up on January 25, the same day of Stirling MP Michael Keenan’s shock announcement he wouldn’t be re-contesting the seat.
Ms Caddy says she is a dyed-in-the-wool Blue and is calling for special dispensation before nominations close on February 15.
“I have been an active Liberal supporter for many years, regularly attending fundraisers and supporting my local members with their election
campaigns,” she says.“I was in discussions with my
local branches about joining up, but simply hadn’t gotten around to doing so.
“I have lived in Stirling for 25 years and served the Stirling community for five years as their local councillor.
“I am committed to this community and I want to be sure that we have a strong local voice in Canberra–someone who will stand up for our values and address our challenges.”
SlimBut the Voice understands
her chances of being nominated are slim, with the WA Liberal Party’s constitution forbidding the reduction of the 30-day provisional membership.
Other likely nominees include Michelle Sutherland, state president of the WA Liberal Women’s Council and
a Bayswater councillor; Joanne Quinn, a corporate lawyer who is general counsel for Edith Cowan University, and Vince Connelly, Stirling division vice-president and staffer to Curtin MP Julie Bishop.
“There have been a number of highly credible and strong potential candidates expressing an interest in contesting the seat of Stirling for the Liberal Party,” said WA Liberal Party state director Sam Calabrese.
Mr Keenan has been the Liberal member for Stirling for almost 15 years, but his wife gave birth to their fourth child last year and he said he was stepping down to spend more time with his family.
During his tenure he increased the seat’s Liberal margin from two to six per cent, but commentators say without an incumbent, Labor have a chance of winning Stirling at this year’s election.

health. Photo by Charlie Bray
78s gone, but still a groove in Freo
after their kids leave home. Fremantle still has three
record stores including The Record Finder on High Street.
“I feel very sorry with what’s happening to 78s” says owner Mark Lahogue, who has been in the record trade for more than 30 years.
He says despite 78’s closure, the future of vinyl is looking bright.
“Vinyl is definitely growing. It was the biggest growth industry in America a few years ago.
“I’m always having to get more and more stock to cover the demand.”
Mr Lahogue says good customer service and lots of variety is the key to running a successful record shop.
“You’ve got to have everything: you’ve got to cater to all niches of music. It’s not just rock. Not everyone’s into head banging music.”
If you fancy grabbing a vinyl bargain before 78 Records closes, head over to its store at 255 Murray Street.

Could Aldi do better?THE Woolies development flyer in our letterbox gave us a big laugh.
Inglewood residents
GreatnessLET’S make Australia great again.
Great again? Please excuse the tweaked
Trumpism; it ought to serve some useful purpose.
Here’s an explanation: Australia, after all, is a land mass only slightly smaller than the United States and with as much potential, though vastly different.
For tens of thousands of years, time beyond our imagination, the First Australians managed their island country well enough to serve their needs.
They did this by keeping in tuneful balance with nature and without being a threat to other countries.
What is greatness, if not such accomplishment?
Then without warning came the UK invasion and so-called “settlement” (at times a blitzkrieg).
From this emerged political parties to create, gradually, the dangerous mess in which we currently find ourselves. Hence our prospect of the lemmings’ fate.
Let’s have, at all levels, government by independents: people unhampered by tunnel-vision ideologies, greed and out-dated traditions.
Independents with positive attitudes and visions
Impost most artrageousI AM right behind
Tinder dry argumentLAST week’s front page story “Building ‘an insult’” is a touch inflammatory.
I’m sure not all Maylands/Inglewood residents share the opinion of Paul Collins, president of the Art Deco Society.
Nor do we think using the word “insult” is a sensible way to have an open and honest discussion about what is going to replace the
that inspire our youth to undertake the challenges that are multiplying by the day.
The most blatant examples being our banks, the Darling-Murray Basin catastrophe, and our senseless obsession with space travel while millions starve and our oceans remain more than 90 per cent unexplored.
Day by day the news brings us face to face with the dodgy future of our planet.
In the meantime, our next most likely prime minister will not have a hard act to follow.
There’s absolutely no guarantee, however, that his performance will be any better than those of his five immediate predecessors.
C’mon, ladies, now’s the time to stand up and be counted.
It’s as well, though, to keep on a short rein any great expectations.
Winsley HurstSt George’s Terrace, Perth
know just a little but about art deco, but obviously more than the PR company which made the dumb claim that their new development at the old Bunnings site is art deco.
The design has a lot more problems than the ones mentioned in your front page article “Building ‘an insult’” (Voice, February 2, 2019).
These include not enough greening of the site, the removal of street trees, outrageously large signage and yet another liquor store.
The design is obviously just a standard one Woolies uses for any location and then changes the description.
Inglewood deserves better. What happened to the Aldi site on Tenth Avenue? Maybe we should have a Bunnings there?
Graeme Cocks Address supplied
burnt down Bunnings on Beaufort Street.
Maybe the Voice could have titled its front page article, “Is this building Art Deco?” or “Woolworths-Art Deco?”; less sensationalist and more about getting the community involved in the process.
I will also contest that if Mr Collins doesn’t like the Woolworths aesthetics of what is art deco, he needs to take a good hard look at some of the other random architecture along Beaufort Street.
It smacks of double standards me thinks.
As far as this punter is concerned having competition for Coles down the road will give residents more choice and hopefully save them some coin.
I wonder if people like Paul Collins actually thinks about what is a good amenity for the ratepayers who live here?
Darren MoldrichMaylandsEd says: We assume you’re
joking Darren, but just to clarify, Paul Collins is president of The Mount Lawley Society, not the Art Deco Society.
Woolworths bucking the iniquitous ‘public art’ impost on their development in Inglewood.
It is simply a council-imposed tax on owners, and offers nothing other than a subsidy to artists and no guarantee that it will be quality work.
Why should artists be subsidised by property owners? Writers and musicians aren’t.
An art subsidy ultimately is factored into building costs and the quality of the building may be compromised as development costs are finite.
There are many unfortunate examples of council-imposed art and three dimensional works scattered around shopping precincts and parks, paid by for by the owners who declined to have an ‘art work’ on their premises.
Some artworks on new buildings add nothing to the environment and can even detract from an otherwise acceptable building.
Commissioning of artwork should be a willing negotiation between the buyer and artist.
Perhaps people should support Woolworths and get council-imposed feelgood subsidies abolished.

DURING her 40-year stint on the Antiques Roadshow, Hilary Kay has seen all manner of fakes and forgeries, including “microwave safe” stamped on the bottom of a supposedly ancient dish.
The legendary appraiser is in Perth this Saturday (February 9) to share some tales from her time on the road, including those difficult conversations with punters who’ve been “sold a pup”.
Ms Kay says people are fascinated by fakes, because they bring to light very human issues: “It’s about greed, about taking down the experts, it’s about opportunism. But also, one has to say it’s about genius.”
ForgersShe says some forgers have come up
with inspired ways to make their items look genuine.
One of the early forgers, Carl Wilhelm Becker, pioneered fakery in the early 1800s during a coin-collecting frenzy driven by the release of a collector’s price guide.
Ironically, Becker was drawn to forgery after being duped.
“He was sold a pup by a fellow collector, and this seriously irritated him...he was driven by such a rage.”
He started producing Roman coins intended to be about 2000 years old: “and of course they looked brand new,” Ms Kay says. So Becker would put the coins in a box of iron filings and attach the box to the axle of his wagon, and season them with several months’ travel until they appeared suitably battered.
“Coin collectors have a grudging respect for Carl Wilhelm Becker,” Ms Kay says.
The UK National Gallery defines a fake as an object that’s been tampered by adding a signature or a false provenance, while a forgery like Becker’s “Roman”
• Legendary antiques appraiser Hilary Kay is in Perth this weekend to discuss antique fakes and forgeries.
Queen of the roadshow
coin is an object created to imitate a genuine piece.
Ms Kay has seen some terrible fakes in her time on the Antiques Roadshow, and when someone finds out their treasured item isn’t real, the reactions vary.
“The emotion depends on why they’ve bought it and how much they’ve paid for it,” she says.
“If it’s a 500-pound investment and they’re told it’s worth 10 pounds, the reaction is different...some people are very disappointed and want to find out how they can take the seller to court or get their money back,” but the sellers have proved good at being untraceable.
She says these conversations are “not easy...my colleague Paul Atterbury says it very well: ‘We’re something between a priest and a doctor. We have to be able to deliver bad news in a palatable way.’
“It is always hard, because as a human being it’s much easier to deliver happy news, because we want to make people happy. To deliver bad news, you have to take a good deal of time to judge it, and you have to manage people’s expectations...it is difficult to do well.”
She says the fascination people have with these conversations is one of the reasons the Antiques Roadshow has enjoyed such longevity.
Ms Kay is in town as part of the Australian Decorative and Fine Arts Societies’ 2019 Perth lecture series.
She has two talks on February 9 at North Metro Tafe: At 1pm she’ll speak about fakes and forgeries, then at 3pm it’s tales from behind the scenes on the Antiques Roadshow.
The lecture series continues February 16 with British historian Guy de la Bédoyère telling the story of a Roman cameo that survived being aboard the Batavia when it was shipwrecked in 1629.
Later lectures include the story of the Bayeux Tapestry, the tale of Constantinople/Istanbul, and the secret desert city of Petra.
The lectures are $25 each or $10 if you’re under 30 (search “ADFAS Perth” on trybooking.com)
But if you’re not an online-type there’s some available at the door, or there’s an annual membership to the ADFSA to see them all, enquire at perth@adfas.org.au

THE PERTH VOICE...
INSTANT REGRET‘FOOT IN MOUTH’ HAS A NEW NAME
by DAVID BELL
WITH the Victorian state government announcing a ban on “conversion therapy” this week, WA Greens MP Alison Xamon has called on WA to follow suit.
The therapy attempts to “cure” gay people by making them straight, and is mostly used by fundamentalist religious groups.
The Victorian Health Complaints Commissioner found “overwhelming evidence” that the therapy does serious long-term harm, leading to trauma, self-hatred and in some cases suicide.
Victorian premier Daniel Andrews announced the ban on Sunday September 3, calling the practice “bigoted quackery”.
The Australian Christian Lobby has vaguely opposed the ban, worried the proposed new law could affect religious parents wanting to “raise families consistent with their religious and moral convictions”, according to a statement by managing director Martyn Iles in November.
Appalling practiceMs Xamon, Greens spokesperson for mental
health, says gay conversion therapy is “an appalling practice that attempts to change the fundamental truth of a person’s identity by methods that are questionable at best; and outright abusive at worst.
“We know that the ‘therapy’ often takes place informally, often in a religious context, and most often by unlicensed and unregulated therapists and psychologists.”
She notes the practice is opposed by the Australian Medical Association, the Royal A&NZ College of Psychiatrists and the Royal Australasian College of Physicians.
In 2017 WA mental health minister Roger Cook said he opposed the practice and would look into whether WA’s laws needed changing, but he said this week there was still nothing concrete in place.
“We’ll watch closely to see how the ban on gay conversion therapy progresses in Victoria,” he says.
THE grass at Beatty Park oval looks moribund after power was cut to the sprinklers, but don’t worry council says the hardy kikuyu will grow back.
This week the Voice’s dogs were unimpressed to find the once luscious turf had gone a classic shade of Aussie-brown, after the recent heatwave.
DisconnectVincent mayor Emma Cole says
Western Power had to disconnect the power for about four days as it was changed over from the soon-to-be-demolished Beatty Park Pavilion to Beatty Park Leisure Centre.
Kikuyu grass originates from East Africa and is almost unkillable, so council workers only had to take care of the plants during the downtime.
“To prepare for this, our parks team hand watered the plants surrounding Beatty Park prior to, and during, the disconnection to ensure no plants died in the heat,” Ms Cole says.
“As the turf is resilient and unlikely to die during the downtime, hand watering wasn’t conducted on the oval.”
Don’t worry,
Dora
Call to ban sick ‘cure’
• Vincent council says Beatty Park Oval will soon green up again, which will be a great relief to chihuahua cross Dora.

Miriam Glebe, Hobart, TASYour work crew were amazing. They arrived on time and worked fl at out for over 9 hours both days – the three of them were very skilled craftsmen and professional. Nothing was too much trouble and they took great care not to damage anything – no stained glass or other panes broken! Thank you.
Andrew & Annette Perth, WAThere has been a signifi cant reduction in noise transmission from the road and next door neighbours as well as improved thermal properties – important factors in inner-city living and well worth the initial investment.
Integrated Consultancy Group Sydney, NSWSealasash utilised their window renewal system to return 108 timber windows in a 1930’s block of units in Mosman to a fully functional, compliant and weatherproofed state which in my opinion is superior to the original windows.

“CHEEKY buggers, they’ve
pinched Blake Street Merchants’ salad idea,” I thought as I perused the menu at Ninth and Merchant.
But it transpires both restaurants have the same owners and sell salads on their own ($15), or with chicken, beef, chorizo or salmon.
Replacing the old Miss Kitty’s Saloon, Ninth and
Merchant is a great addition to the Inglewood end of Beaufort Street.
The eatery has the same laid-back style as Kitty’s, but the welcome was anything but casual with broad smiles and greetings from several staff, including the guy behind the bar, as I walked in.
Maple-whippedIt was too early for lunch
but there was plenty on the brunch menu to tickle my fancy, and I agonised over whether 11.15am is too late for breakfast pancakes ($18).
The idea of coffee-infused maple-whipped butter was very tempting, but so was the roasted pumpkin ($18).
In the end savoury trumped sweet as there’s always cake for dessert.
Digging into the soft golden chunks of pumpkin topped with crunchy baked kale and almond bits, I congratulated myself on my decision.
A dollop of honey-whipped ricotta added a sharpness to the sweet pumpkin, and the kale was so delicious and crunchy I saved some for last.
The dish comes with an egg, but I asked for mushrooms instead, which went rather well.
CaramelIt was carrot cake ($7)
and a pot of earl grey to follow, with a couple of salted caramel tarts to take home ($7).
The cake was a tad dry, and needed the creamy topping, but the tarts were to die for.
Ninth and Merchant is open for breakfast and lunch, but the owners are planning to extend service into early evening, when the pizza oven will no doubt be cranking.

THE devastating effects of climate change are explored in the dance-
apocalypse Kwongkan. Created over three years,
and influenced by sacred sites in remote Australia and tropical India, the Perth Festival show is a dazzling mix of hope and fear.
Many saw the collaboration between WA’s Ochre Contemporary Dance Company and India’s Daksha Sheth Dance Company as a chance to create something hopeful, but Ochre director Mark Howett wasn’t having any of it.
“We need to shock people into how bad climate change is…shock them out of their complacency.”
AcrobaticsThe mix of live music,
son et lumiere, dance and arial acrobatics is laden with ceremony and destruction.
“As we began our creative development, the effects on both our cultures from climate change, like the floods in Kerala in India and Australian droughts, permeated the room,” Howett says.
“It led us to believe that we needed to shout against the oncoming calamities for the sake of our children and our children’s children.”
Fossil fuels are a major
Dancing up a storm
contributor to climate change, but money talks and governments are failing to take action as the “conservatives” assert “the next generation will fix the problem”, he says.
“It’s all down to greed. They will kill their kids with greed; it’s not conservatism.”
Daksha is one of India’s leading dance companies and it was at the Perth Festival where director Daksha Sheth first met Howett.
Her children, renowned Bollywood actress Isha Sharvani and composer Tao Issaro, perform in Kwongkan, and husband Dev Issaro designed the production.
Local performers and choreographers in the show include award-winning dancer Ian Wilkes, Phil Thomson, Nadia Martich and Kate Harman.
Audiences are invited to arrive early so they can experience pre-performance rituals and become part of the
unfolding narrative.Kwongkan is on at the
Fremantle Arts Centre, February 16-20. Tickets $45 at perthfestival.com.au

AS I admired the huge main bedroom and gorgeous en suite, I failed to notice the
city skyline from the balcony of this Bedford home.
In my defence I didn’t realise the city was so close, but it’s hard to miss once you look, and it no doubt made a stunning backdrop for the recent Skyworks.
Sitting on 383sqm, this four-bedroom house is shiny, new and luxuriously appointed.
From the street the home has a federation look, but that is quickly dispelled as you pass through a long hallway and enter the sweeping open-plan, where light floods through a prism of windows and glass doors.
The dove grey cupboards and drawers in the generous kitchen are a pleasant contrast to the white walls, as is the soft, biscuit-brown tiles on the floor.
Almost floor-to-ceiling doors and windows in the living space look out onto a delightful alfresco, which is north-facing
Blooming beautifuland has a timber ceiling. It’s is a great spot to crank up the built-in-barbecue and peruse the Sunday papers.
The alfresco overlooks a terraced
lawn, flanked by lilly pilly trees, that offers respite for the eye and a natural playground for kids.
Back inside, bright sunshine lights the way to the second-level bedrooms, courtesy of skylights in the cathedral ceiling.
There’s a theatre room on this level, and it would make a great kids’ play area when it’s too hot or wet outside.
Situated on Rosebery Street on the Inglewood border, this delightful home is within walking distance of schools, parks, and public transport.

THE HILLS ARE ALIVE With Singing The Sweet Thursday Singers are making our annual trip to
Lesmurdie to sing for the folks at the Villa Maria retirement village there. Our excellent bus drivers, Chris Sharpe and Ian Hilton, are preparing not only to drive the bus but make up most of our lively tenor section. After a gentle drive up the hill together, we generally have lunch at a cafe and then sing a dozen or so songs for the residents. After a cuppa and some afternoon tea, we generally fi nish with a singalong of some older favourites, so the residents can have the fun of singing with the group. As a community choir, we enjoy the chance to perform for an audience that may have more diffi culty coming out to see live performances, and giving them the chance to remember old favourites and join in the fun. It’s also a good way for new singers to try out performing with a choir for the fi rst time, and gives us a chance to try out this year’s new songs.

ARIES (Mar 21 – Apr 20)After making various classically innovative changes over the last few
weeks, the time is ripe for balancing the ship. Seek order. The best approach is to use your aesthetic sense; if it’s beautiful, it’s right. There’s no point in pushing worldly ambition when the time’s not right. Wait a little.
TAURUS (Apr 21 – May 2)Mars enters Taurus later in the week. The fi rst few days will feel like you are building
up to something. That’s because you are. If there’s any charging you feel you need to do, wait till Mars fuels your scuffi ng hoofs. It seems there are matters to be communicated openly and honestly.
GEMINI (May 21 – June 21) Mercury remains in Aquarius. This makes you prone to taking various
eccentric ideological positions and holding to them with the ferocity of a honey badger. Though exercising your capacity for consistency, you’d best check if your much-loved playfulness has gone out the window.
CANCER (June 22 – July 22)In the process of sticking to your guns, it is beginning to feel like you are at
loggerheads with every man and his dog. In many ways you are. It is of vital importance for your own self-esteem and the general good of humanity that you stick with what feels true to you. Honour individuality.
LEO (July 23 – Aug 22) Relationships have gotten to the point where you know for sure that it’s
best not to obsess. Obsession is proving to be way too painful to be a workable option. Move your attention elsewhere. Work, in the very best sense of the word, is a perfect alternative. Can you master your craft?
VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)Your relationships are growing ever more intriguing. With Mercury in inventive
Aquarius, you are more open to innovation, to injections of fresh air, than ever. The golden key is listening. It’s such a simple thing to aurally attend, but rarely exercised. Put aside your internal noise and listen.
LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 23) Venus is in Capricorn. These are pragmatic times. Your mood may
have dipped for a couple of weeks. It now begins to lift again. It’s time to shed old skin. Sentimentality doesn’t help. You can see it. Let it go. Stay loving. Focus on your most genuine needs. Moult another layer of dross.
SCORPIO (Oct 24 – Nov 21)It’s your visionary qualities that have got you into a position of
infl uence. Beware of those who are listening to their heads instead of their hearts. Go in a direction that is human and warm. Be wary of any options that are cold and lacking in good feeling. If you aren’t sure, be prepared to wait.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)You have plenty of energy, support and momentum. Those who oppose you can
be easily disarmed with friendliness and generosity. Your willingness to be gregarious serves you well both practically and personally. Your friendships and working relationships are all getting better by the day.
CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19) All the complications that have beset you in the years since Saturn and Pluto have
been traversing your territory, are presently being mitigated by the delightful presence of Venus. She is a welcome reminder that there is tenderness and love to be found even in the most trying circumstances.
AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)The Sun has moved into the fi nal third of its journey through Aquarius. There is a
change of tempo. It’s time to smooth ruffl ed feathers. There’s a chance you may have set the hair on the backs of various people’s necks on end, as you’ve navigated a process of fundamental change. Be kind.
PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)Your time in the Sun is coming. There are all sorts of fi reworks going on in the
rest of the solar system. Looking at you, it would be hard to tell. You are quietly going about your business. Not that you are going about things in a business-like manner. You are blissfully riding the current.
