THE NAMIBIAN<br />
Your Stars<br />
Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 19)<br />
There’s a bit of rigidity in the air that<br />
might leave you feeling as if you’re butting<br />
heads with everything you come in contact<br />
with. Try not to get too bent out of shape if people<br />
disagree with your opinions. People need their space,<br />
and emotions will be operating at a fairly high level.<br />
Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20)<br />
Your emotions may surprise you today<br />
as unexpected issues crop up out of nowhere.<br />
Take time to smooth the wrinkles<br />
in your current plan of attack regarding your involvement<br />
with the world. A self-centred approach will create<br />
barriers between you and those you wish get near.<br />
ADOLESCENCE ...<br />

gorillas that caused<br />
thousands of pounds<br />
worth of damage to<br />
their zoo enclosure.<br />

Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 20)<br />
You may wonder what all the fuss is<br />
about today. People may be getting all<br />
worked up over nothing. Don’t get<br />
absorbed in the melodrama. Set the record straight<br />
and bring out the truth as you see it. Don’t let others<br />
hide behind façades, and don’t do the same.<br />
Taurus (Apr 21 - May 20)<br />
Today is a wonderful and productive<br />
day for you. Don’t hog the limelight.<br />
Let other people feel like they’re being<br />
heard, too. You might get into trouble if your head gets<br />
too big or your attitude too stubborn. Opinions will<br />
be strong, so give people room to voice their own.<br />
Gemini (May 21 - Jun 20)<br />
Stand back and let someone else take the<br />
reins. There are many helpful hands out<br />
there to guide you. The most important<br />
thing is to let go and have confidence that others will<br />
direct you. They will if you let them. Your brain may<br />
buzz to the point that you feel you’ve lost control.<br />
Cancer (Jun 21 - Jul 22)<br />
You have quite the juggling act on<br />
your hands today. Things may fly at<br />
you from all directions, all demanding<br />
your attention. Give equal weight to your needs.<br />
You will be on an important road with a great deal<br />
of responsibility. Don’t shy away from a starring role.<br />
Leo (Jul 23 - Aug 22)<br />
Tension may build today from all directions.<br />
Everyone may seem to be<br />
operating as part of a great conspiracy<br />
against you. Don’t get paranoid. This scenario<br />
is most likely far from the truth of the matter. Try<br />
to embrace change and don’t treat it like an enemy.<br />
Virgo (Aug 23 - Sep 22)<br />
Spread your ideas out to the world.<br />
Now is a great time to go on a long<br />
trip. Explore the far reaches of your<br />
space. Join others who share a similar spiritual mission.<br />
By reaching out to new and different people,<br />
you can have some unforgettable experiences.<br />
Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 23)<br />
Take time out to change the things in<br />
your life that need restoring. Explore<br />
your emotional needs and find ways<br />
to satisfy them. You may need to adopt a different<br />
approach in order to get where you need to go. Even<br />
if things seem unstable, they’re likely to smooth out.<br />
Scorpio (Oct 24 - Nov 22)<br />
Today may be emotionally intense. Your<br />
greatest gifts may get you into trouble on<br />
a day like this, but that doesn’t mean you<br />
should stop being yourself for even one minute. There’s<br />
a great deal of important information to exchange,<br />
so remain open to all opportunities and possibilities.<br />

Dove Adverts Criticised<br />
For Stance On<br />
Public Breastfeeding<br />
Skincare brand Baby Dove has been criticised for<br />
controversial new adverts, which many claim perpetuate<br />
a negative image of breastfeeding in public.<br />
One advert says: ‘Seventy-five percent say breastfeeding<br />
in public is fine, 25% say put them away. What’s your way?’<br />
And another, which shows a crying baby, reads: ‘Thirtysix<br />
percent are for feeding him when he cries, 64% are<br />
passionately against it. What’s your way?’<br />
The advertising standards authority has received 151<br />
complaints, including concerns the ad perpetuates a negative<br />
image of breastfeeding in public, according to the BBC.<br />
Blogger Sarah Turner wrote an open letter to Dove on<br />
Facebook, stressing that supporting the ‘dangerous’ view<br />
that it was okay to criticise people for breastfeeding in<br />
public may put mums off doing it.<br />
Emma Pickett, from the Association of Breastfeeding<br />
Mothers, said: ‘It’s not anyone’s ‘way’ to oppose it unless<br />
they fancy going to court or criminal action, and it’s<br />
insulting to imagine that mums who formula feed automatically<br />
sympathise with people who dislike breastfeeding<br />
in public.’ – metro.co.uk<br />

From the History Books<br />
THERE are three roads to ruin; women, gambling<br />
and technicians. The most pleasant is with women,<br />
the quickest is with gambling, but the surest is with<br />
technicians. – Georges Jean Raymond Pompidou<br />
(5 July 1911 – 2 April 1974) was prime minister of<br />
France from 1962 to 1968—the longest tenure in the<br />
position’s history—and later president of the French<br />
Republic from 1969 until his death in 1974. He had<br />
long been a top aide to president Charles de Gaulle.<br />
As president, he was a moderate conservative who<br />
repaired France’s relationship with the United States,<br />
and maintained positive relations with the newlyindependent<br />
former colonies in Africa.<br />

Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21)<br />
You may need to make some distinct<br />
mental adjustments in order to fit in<br />
with the energy of the day. Try to tune<br />
into these energies and see what kind of balance<br />
they can bring to your life. Be more mindful of your<br />
words and don’t say things you don’t really mean.<br />
Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20)<br />
There’s likely to be a bit of tension<br />
today regarding your position in society.<br />
Maybe you’re running into issues<br />
that stem from your involvement in the collective<br />
versus your focus on your personal issues. Make<br />
sure these two aspects of your life are in balance.
