Mars will shortly oppose Pluto, and if you’re not careful history will repeat itself when it comes to turning the page to a new year. This is the time to make a bid for freedom; and your independence and maverick style may scare others whilst it thrills you to think of pos-sibilities and your survival plans.

Planet Ceres directs in your second house bringing stability, and a good foundation on which to build your hopes, dreams and inner-most desires. Your heart fi nally opens to receive the love you have held back on for so long, and you are clear to make the most of what-ever the New Year brings you!

Mars, makes an unscheduled stop in the comfort zone of your third house on the last day of the year. This serves as a green light to an ongoing project and confi rms your doubts and fears of the scheme of things, giv-ing you a reason to give the go ahead. As you refl ect on the no past, strike while the iron is truly hot.

Double check plans; and ensure that your timing is spot on as the current conjunction of Mercury sees you ready for action and poised to take part in current events that may take on new directions at short notice. You can expect a surprise ending to something that’s been close to your heart for a while.

Travel is certain as a celebration gains momentum and you fi nd that you just can’t fi nd a reason to stay away. The pressures of the past few months dissolve away as you take some quality time for yourself and enjoy the break from routine that this brings. Finding the time for yourself is not selfi sh, it’s self preserving!

Still reeling from the fall out from the recent retrograde actions, you’re in pole position to lay your cards on the table and tell it like it is. You are unaware of the diff erence that you can make, and the ef-fect that you have already made and it’s pay back time! The New Year begins with a bang as you celebrate in style.

Chances are that your nostalgic look back on the past year fi nds you very emotionally charged as you recall the many doors that have closed in your face just lately. Remember that this is to help you to fi nd your way ahead without the need to re-invent yourself, and the future beckons you on to pastures new.

Planetary actions see you placing something on hold to be dealt with at a more appropriate time, because right now you have other priorities. Love is on the cards if you will just let your suspicions slide; and the proof of the pudding is in the eating right now. A cry for help is answered, but leaves you feeling numb.

Go with the fl ow! There is a new negotiation that has your seal of approval, and only you know at this stage what this involves and the knock on aff ect that it will have if you let it. Weighing up the pro’s and con’s helps to help you fi nd the balance that you need right now, and gives you the chance to show what you can do.

Jupiter is in residence and has already faced Mars in opposition. This is sending a message of caution which you would well be advised to adhere to in the year ahead. Something somewhere just isn’t right, and your own intuition has highlighted this already. How you proceed and what you do is left up to you!

Nostalgia plays a big part in your immediate plans and this has a knock on eff ect with your hopes and aspirations for the immediate future. Peace will always be your mission, and as the truth seeker of the Zodiac you are putting things to right as the New Year approach-es and you concentrate on your achievements in a hectic year.

Planet Ceres revolves slowly around in Piscean territory bringing a wealth of opportunity and making a very positive end to a very challenging year. You will fi nd that your creative talents are honed to perfection and awaiting the instructions you send. No longer do you need permission to seek exactly what you want, so go for it!

MAL PAS BEACHThis is a small cove often missed by many visitors and is found at the end of the harbour road on the Poniente side of the Old Town. You can also reach it by steps from the top of the Old Town square known as La Señoria. This beach is popular with gay visitors especially in Winter when it is a sun trap.

PONIENTE BEACH (Popular gay area by the park at night)Beyond the Old Town starting at park Elche by the harbour and running for over 3km is the more sedate Poniente beach which is a favourite with local residents and Spanish families. The facilities are as good as the Levante but offer a less crowded space. Popular Gay area is in front of the park where you will also find the new Café Refuel the place to meet up after the Poniente beach for a beer and gossip. (Park Elx known as Dove Park also).

BENIDORM COVES - TI XIMO & ALMADRABAThese are small sandy coves reached by road at the far end of the Levante beyond the cable ski.

If you prefer to be more secluded these are recommended for the adventurous as it is quite a steep walk. There are no facilities so take plenty to drink and food if you are to spend an entire day there.

RACO CORNIL GAY PLAYA NUDISTA 4km FROM BENIDORMThis beach is best reached by hire car. Take the old Villa Joyosa road toward the casino. Take an immediate left at the casino and follow the road down to the car park where you will find a small rocky cove. The area both by the beach and at the top of the hill where you see a derelict Finca is very popular for all over sunbathing until sun down. The cove itself is mixed and is popular with Spanish couples too. You can walk if you take the number 5 or 41 bus to La Cala (From Park Elx by harbour) and walk over the hill. To get there face the beach and look to the right up the hill you will see a derelict villa set high up - head for it to get to the gay area which has been popular for 100 years! Take plenty of water with you as there are no facilities there.
