Gemini rules the mind. It is an air sign and as such it has highly developed mind skills which can be used in the positive or negative aspects.

Vitamins aren’t vitamins. How do you tell the difference between what you buy on a supermarket shelf, what is sold in a health shop and what is sold by many direct marketing companies?

Here is something I often teach people for relaxation – it’s called Progressive Muscular Relaxation (PMR).
PMR moves through the major muscles of the body squeezing and releasing various groups of muscles. By using the mind body connection and the gentle breathing you enter into a conscious state of relaxation.

What is Stress? – Most people consider that stress is problems, worries, tension or pressure.

The Taurus new moon ushers in an opportunity to manifest your life into being.

Earthy Taurus is ruled by the sign Venus. The key phrase for Taurus is “What do I have?” Money, personal resources, security, survival skills and self-esteem.

In Taurus we like to have things around us that give us comfort and reflect who we are. We are concerned with getting results.

The media has been all a flurry over the recent comments made by Mark Webber calling Melbourne a ‘Nanny State’.

The way I see it is this…

It’s time to begin anew. The Aries new moon gives us a chance to shake off whatever we need to and begin with a fresh start. It’s the moon of the inner child, the explorer, the pioneer, the warrier within!

It is also the beginning of the astrological year. The sign of Aries is the baby of the zodiac and as such it is time to have some fun, create new things, bring in some joy and happiness to your life.
