The Markle ruin of the Royal Family

I have said from Day 1 that Megan Markle was bad news for the Royals.

I predicted that she would cause trouble and Harry will be hung out to dry, with Megan getting what she wanted.

So it is occurring!

Markle is getting the limelight in L.A. with an agenda to ruin the Royal family aided by Oprah Winfrey.

It seems that people who know her have said her agenda to talk to Oprah about the Royal Family was planned before she was married to Harry and in fact, she didn't even know Oprah much before the wedding. 

What I see now is Markle gaining all that she wants while Harry is losing everything.

Expect the Sussexes to lose their Duke/Duchess title and possibly the HRH title as well.

This leaves Harry, as a normal guy without a function while the Markle roadshow continues, although this can be limited as their titles fail to give them publicity and status.

I think that Harry will not last long in the USA and will return without Markle and his son.

Maybe the Royal Family will accept Harry back and give him his title back, but he will have to earn his military connections again.

I believe that the Royal Family will implement a new rule to say 'No more Americans' as twice bitten is foolhardy.

However, all of the above may be futile if the conspiracy theories have their way and most Royals are clones or actors...

As a sideline, the articles that Megan took her name off Archies birth certificate was to just have HRH name and to highlight Archie in the Royal line of Succession.

A year older and looking to 2018

ok so I am 62 today, but still think I am 28 and can pull a young bird.
Most will think of me as a pervert no doubt. But if they are willing, I am !!

My life has not been normal. I have been outspoken and taken paths most people wouldn't.
I went to the Middle East and was caught up in a war. How many men can say they could talk about their war with their Dad who was in WW2.

My main ambition driver, was not having to live like my Mum & Dad, always striving to find money for the family. Although, I have to say I had a very good upbringing and really wanted for nothing.
It was just a thing for me, that has driven me. I wish that I had done more for my parents when I could. This haunts me.

In my job I reached high management level and now am a consultant trying to hand over my experience to the younger people.

I got married to someone I should never had. The issue was that I was in love with being married!
I chose unwisely.
However, I did get a bonus of my eldest daughter, who I am close.

After a few years I eventually met my second wife of now nearly 30 years. We are opposites, but still kind of understand each other. I am the more outgoing person, wanting to better myself still. I do regret numerous things in our marriage, but overall its been good.

I have a total of 6 children, whom I treat equally overall. I don't have a favourite because of this.
I only want them to make something of themselves. Things are going to become bad in the years ahead with introduction of Artificial Intelligence and that means unemployment. So they will need to become extra entrepreneurial.
The main thing is that although my wife says I don't do much, when I go they will notice how much they miss me. The family in my mind rely on me for a lot and take it for granted. Because of my family health history and the fact that someone told me years ago, that I am likely to pass in this decade, so I may not have long. Which is a shame because I have so much more I want to do.

I like to help others. The New Year will see me helping the lonely people of all ages.
I provide funds to local organisations such as sport teams etc. This is because I know the money 100% goes to the club. Unlike the usual charities where 85-95% of donations go to real estate, uniforms, musical instruments and of course the chairman and senior mgmt.

I have always wanted to leave a legacy. I want to own an international company that maybe someone from the family can take over and run.
The nearest I have is my education platform, but this is very slow due to money.

I have visited about 50 countries now and lived in a few, so I am luckier than most.

2018 has to be a major year for me, as I am exploding with ideas and needs.
I want to travel more, get the Education platform up and running and buy property abroad.
I will aim for all 3 as best I can. Something has to give and at least partly fulfill, otherwise I am likely to die a frustrated person.

So 2018 lets go!

DIY retirement

When I was young I could do a bit of DIY.
Now I am old enough to know that it's cheaper and less hassle to pay someone else to do it.

What gives me this theory?
The wife!!
Always complains about what I do. Doesn't like anything I choose for colour or style.
All I know is that I am very good at choosing things and I am the man of skill!

Anyway, the plot is to continue to do it poorly and I won't have to do it again!!

Put a clothes drier base in the ground this morning. Fast drying cement- lovely!
It set and then I found I could adjust it to make it straighter!!

No doubt another complaint- job done!

Anarchy in the UK

The Police have had their budget cut so many times we barely have a police force.
The armed forces have been cut that they can't even defend the Falklands anymore.
We contribute the bare minimum to NATO.
We have Paedophilia increasing.
We have Islamic groups in North of the UK with girls on prostitution.

We are seeing stabbings, shootings and yesterday a Father shot multiple times, when he was holding his 3 year old son in a supermarket car park.
Gangs are getting stronger, foreign mafias are beginning to run areas.
Muslim communities are doing enough to stop recruitment to ISIL or any other terrorist group.

Is it me or is the government stupid, no matter what party?
Is the budgets 1 to 1 with all of the above?

It's the politicians who are destroying the UK for their own gain.
Fucking idiots!!

TRUMP!

His party didn't want him.
They tried to throttle his quest to be President, but he had immense money, something that no one else has had.
He is threatening the country security by sharing with the Russians
He is threatening the FBI,CIA,NSA and other secret groups.

He knows his days are numbered. He is having fun before they impeach him or kill him, either way he is stirring it.

His wife Malenia wants to divorce him to get millions and go back to Slovenia.

Rumours are that to keep his quiff the medication for his hair is damaging his brain!

However, one thing to remember , he is giving a chance for peace talks all over the place, where the previous Presidents haven't entertained

terrorists are the antichrist that Nostradamus mentions

ISIS just want to wipe out the human race!
that is their aim and to what end?
Mainly from communities of jobless lazy bastards.
Give them jobs and money and they wont do it.
It was easy in the mid east 'cos the Americans and Brits didn't provide jobs, money, water or a government.
I wrote this years ago when we went into Iraq.

How can we stop this?
The western world needs to pump money into Iraq, Syria, Libya. Give esteem again to the people.
Immigrants will go back to start a new country.

Its a simple answer, but the western countries won't do it.
Rebellion, terrorism feeds on poverty!

Lyon not for me

I have wanted to go to Lyon for a few years. Don't know why I just did.
The third largest city in France, which has all kinds of beauty.
Lyon - Nothing for me.
Full of churches and museums and thats it.
I thought great food - I went to the old town with my son. I had some sausage with potatoes and gravy, very tasty- but it was luke warm.
My son ordered in perfect French steak with no sauce. So because he was British, they thought we will fuck em up! So they gave him sauce. I told them 'NON!' and they had to give him a new steak.
It was lovely apparently.
Bliss for me is Creme Brulee, so I thought let me see what these Frogs can do to tickle the taste buds.
OMG heaven! - except it was freezing cold under  warm layer of melted sugar.
I am no expert, but I don't think it should be served up as if just out of a freezer!.
My son and I went shopping. Now in the Middle East Carrefours is massive with huge hypermarkets.
In Lyon there was a large one but not massive and most people didn't know what we meant by a hypermarket!
So we went into Lyon again, by an expensive taxi and went to the Commercial Centre.
Anyway, after wards we thought it would be nice to sit outside and have some lunch.
I had an over cooked or microwaved chicken, not good!
My son had veal, which had a massive fat around it, like a pork chop only thick and soft. He wasn't impressed.
Also, there seemed to be a huge Turkish/Arab and African immigration.

In the evening we went to Olympique Lyonnais vs Lorient.
Lyon are 6th in the League and Lorient was second from bottom.
We thought we would see lots of goals and how true we were. Only it was 1-4 to Lorient.
Anyway, the new stadium was nice. Behind each goal there is a small platform with speakers. It seems that they have organised crowd boosters. Guys who shout words to the crowd to get them going or to start a tune or clapping of some kind. What was funny was that after Lyon went down by 4 goals one guy started to hurl accusations at the Lyon team. Then after he had finished he started to get the crowd going again.

Lyon people or just the French in general, are rude and ignorant. They just stop in front of you and block your way, or they just push in when you are queuing or ordering. I did nudge a couple of people, just for the sake of it.

So summary of Lyon: Rude French bastards. They will have immigration issues in the future and a shite football team.
Been there, seen it, done it! for good.

The Federal state is rearing its head at last

1. Germany want us to fund 50 bln pounds for pulling out of the EU
2. EU want UK to take 4 years to leave.Why? While we are waiting to leave they get funding and stop us getting rid of red tape, laws and to stop us negotiating Trade agreements while they screw us.
3. The EU seem to be introducing new goal posts because its the UK leaving
4. Spain wanting to get Gibraltar
5. Bet your life the Falklands will come up as well
6. Squeezing Gibraltar and yet they voted to stay in the EU.
7. The EU will bring in new rules, new taxes, new red tape just to fuck us up.
8. The EU say that they can veto anything if any one of the 27 other countries disagree.


All in all this will stink of us pulling out without a EU agreement. However, thats fine we will just have to make agreements with the other 80 odd countries in the world!

Then we fuck their intelligence that we have control of!!!

Just goes to show that this just isn't a democratic region, but a German controlled Federal state.

Brexit becomes a taxation exercise

9 Months since the Brexit was voted for and during this time the EU had a chance to compromise and they didn't. Whether they thought the UK would back out I don't know.
But here are the things I do know:
1. The EU leaders are trying to threaten UK but they have more to lose than we do.
2. Talking about security, which I wrote about, we actually own all of the EU top security jobs
3. UK save 10-13 bln pounds a year to help us fund the 20 bln pounds black hole (minimum).
4. UK still needs to raise taxes to pay and can blame Brexit when they needed a get out from the budget.
5. EU loses 10-13 bln pounds of funding
6. EU has to fund Greece, Italy, Spain etc
7. EU taxes have to go up
8. The EU threatening to make us Brexit for 4 years is actually not in Article 50 as it states 2 years unless UK asks and then all the EU agrees. We won't ask!
9. EU wants to charge us 50 bln pounds. This is not in article 50 which explains how a country can resign from the EU and is on an A4 sheet of paper.
10. This is all about Germany.

So all in all its a taxation issue now.

Why is the EU now being conciliatory with the UK

So in the papers today, the EU negotiator who hates the UK is saying that to have a hard Brexit or no agreement between the UK and the EU will have consequences for the EU.
Why would he say this?

1. UK imports 142 bln pounds of goods from the EU
2. UK exports just 75 Bln pounds of goods
3. UK heads of security dominate in Europe
4. Germany constitution says that they can't fight in a war, which is why they say they want an agreement with the UK
5. We take a large amount of Nuclear waste from Europe
6. They have a BIG black hole in their finances

Enuf said!!

UK economic figures will show a surge

With the pound weak on the foreign exchanges expect a spurt in economic figures and trade.
This will back up the Brexit for a while.

Banks will announce redundancies as they get greedier.
RBS should be closed down by the UK government to pressurise the SNP and their lack of economic decisions and the big black holes in financing an independent Scotland.

EU's security is safe in the UK hands

The EU are stupid people!
Because we are the first and the UK wanting to pull out, they start to threaten about charging us 50BLN pounds, when we should tell them to piss off!
They threaten to be tough.

In the meantime France and the Dutch may have votes themselves whether to stay in.
Of course its a free for all and if they lose their bribes and expense accounts.
Where is will you not be voted, accountable and not audited for corruption.

Anyway, the most stupid of it all, is that there is little talk of security.
Bearing in mind the abysmal intelligence in France, Germany, Brussels, Spain, Italy, they really can't afford to kick the UK in the teeth.
Little is known about the fact that the UK provides the most useful intelligence to the EU and in fact manage most of all the EU security, Cyber space security. In fact it's a Brit that heads the Security section of the EU.

So all it needs is a kick in the teeth to screw all of the EU security and intelligence!!

Worlds apart

I have a totally different sense of humour than the missus. Here is an example that i thought was hilarious and she didn't get it and after explaining she didn't fell it was funny at all!

A man from Courtsend fell out with his in-laws and banned them from entering the house while he was in it. The wife dutifully carried out his wishes until she was on her death bed and then asked sadly, " I've always been a good wife to you, haven't I Jack?" "Yes dar. None better" he replied. "Then I hope that you grant my last request and let our Mary Alice ride in the first car with you at my funeral?" "Alright my dear" he agreed heavily, "But I'm warning you, it'll spoil my fun!"

I took me 5 minutes to stop laughing. She thought I was a moron!

Business Rates will kill the Tories work

Some business rates very soon will rise by 450%!
On average most will change by 200%.

Business will go bust and the high street and SME's will be killed off.

This is suicide by the Conservatives.
Inflation at the moment is under 1%, so how do they justify this rise and yet there are due to be many strikes.
This smells of the 70's again, when the Unions tried to bring the government down and that was Labour!

This government is losing it's way and I can see big problems ahead.

Local taxs up 200-450%
MP pay rises 25%
Company staff rises 2%

There seems to be a big discretion here and 'what's in it for us' attitude!!

Stinks of Stagflation and trouble

Saturday, February 25, 2017

Is the UK heading for stagflation

I was trying to explain to my son, who is taking Economics at 'A' level that economics is in theory historical. So we get a load of historical data over the past 1 month or so and then we know how the economy has performed.
I then explained that eventhough Economics may be based on historical performance and data, how it can be also predictive or forecasted.

Here is one way: Stagflation

In economicsstagflation, a portmanteau of stagnation and inflation, is a situation in which the inflation rate is high, the economic growth rate slows, and unemployment remains steadily high.

I can see this happening for some time now. Manufacturers, retailers etc are putting prices up by upto 30%. In many cases they are using the blame of the Brexit to justify this rise, even before we have announce it.
The rises are based on 8 years of deflation and consolidation and lack of profits by these companies.

Some financial institutions are making record gross profits, but hiding this, by blaming Brexit, offloading debt  from international decisions and making errors in other areas. I know one financial institution wants to lay off 10,000 staff ( decision made last October) to make even more savings, so their news release of lower profits, based on the above, is to hide the fact of layoffs. Yet they want to start to charge for accounts.

Raw materials are rising by 30%. This is both the fact that China has taken at least a 30% ownership in producers or such as rare earth products 95% ownership.

So we are now seeing:

  • Huge increases which in turn raises Inflation.
  • Higher inflation means higher interest rates.
  • Higher interest rates means more companies go bust.
  • Companies go bust or cut costs by higher unemployment.
  • Higher unemployment means more benefits cost
  • More Benefits cost means the government needs more taxes
  • Higher inflation means poor stock markets.
  • Poor stock markets means less investment opportunities.
  • Poor investment means poor economical data.
I think thats enough to show how I am predicting things to go.

How can we abate Stagflation. That's difficult and I am not sure this government will have a clue!
You can bet your life though that the IMF will blame Brexit!!

Sir Beckham!

Ok so his leaked emails state that he wanted to be knighted and did a load of charity work.
Let's take a look at the outrage:
1. His Football talent
2. Putting Premier league on the map.
3. Helped to make Manu the most feared team globally
4. Income from his name alone was massive
5. Helped to make the MLS now more attractive
6. Admired by Pele and royalty
7. Raised hundreds of millions for global charities
8. Started his own children's charity which he donates to.
9. Ambassador for United Nations
10. Helped to win the Olympics for the UK

I am sure many more.

And yet Blair and Cameron gave out knighthoods to their mates who work in the civil service and done nothing.

Ok he had an affair, but so have most people in politics I guess or such celebrities.

So why doesn't he get a knighthood?

I am just saying!!

Paris under seige

Ok so something different.
In the mens office toilets in Paris, I was expecting to see a hygiene notice.
Instead I see a sign on the wall, of what to do if the office was invaded with terrorists.
Basically, showed how you can hide and not get shot.

Seems like they have reinvented the posters from the WW2!!

FIFA and FA under fire

The sun newspaper has been running a cartoon series for football since the beginning of the season and how 3 billionaires are touting teams to join their league and pull away from FIFA and the FA due to corruption, non-accountability, non-transparency. They are paying players more,because the FIFA and FA will disown them.
Then all of a sudden we here about the Chinese league and that they are paying silly money, for the same reason.
Seems to me that the sun had a contact already feeding them info. So if you want to know how it progresses, then read the cartoon called Striker!!

Capricorn 2017

Birthday Meanings Of People Born On December 28th

December 28 Zodiac Sign Is Capricorn

IF YOUR BIRTH DATE IS DECEMBER 28, often you can’t stand false pride or childish drama. You like the quiet and find the woods to be a place of comfort and renewal. You have a tendency to be loyal and dependable professionally and personally.
As a rule, the 28 December birthday personality prefer total honesty as opposed to hearing what would make someone momentarily satisfied. Characteristically, you are independent and like being single. However, as a friend, you have devoted childhood friends.
If today is you birth day, you could have a fear of rejection. This Capricorn birthdate person is trustworthy, mature and ambitious and makes a good friend. Not needing anyone to validate your importance, you are a strong Goat who is resourceful. You are genuine, loving and honest individuals. It’s your confidence that attracts others.
As a drawback and a positive, you are relentless. Giving up is never an option with someone with a December 28 zodiac birthdate. It would seem that you don’t take failure well. You know that persistence will eventually pay off.
However, you are not a weak individual. You are not the type to “show out” in public or make a scene. This turns you off as you are not likely to lose control and frown on others who do. As the 28th December birthday zodiac sign is Capricorn, you are ambitious people who have good recall.
The December 28th birthday horoscope predicts that you are patient people who are also cautious but confident leaders.

You’re the kind of person who will take the stairs instead of the elevator or park far away from the entrance to do something extra. Additionally, you will walk or ride your bike to the corner store instead of jumping into the car to drive there. The fresh air also does wonders.
As a career choice, the 28th December birthdate meaning shows that you would be great as a math instructor or politician. Moreover, you are suited to wear your officer’s bars in the armed forces.

You’re a social being and people somehow provide stimulus for someone such as yourself. Typically, the December 28 birthday people are healthy mainly due to their commitment to eating right and exercising. You make friendships and relationships that last and you are likely to marry only once.

YOUR HOROSCOPE BY SUSAN MILLER

It’s birthday time, and although you often wave off questions about how you will spend your birthday, this year you may actually be thinking of letting go and planning special fun for your big day. Capricorns tend to live their life backward with heavy responsibility early in life, and as they get older, Capricorns move into a more carefree, young lifestyle. There is no reason to have to wait to be more mature before you start move into this more enjoyable, easier phase, so you might begin celebrating now. Start with your birthday. Another point you may enjoy knowing: Capricorns are the one sign known to produce the most centenarians – those who live to be 100 or more. I want you to enjoy EVERY year!
Every year you get a new moon in your own sign, Capricorn, and that special day just arrived late last month on December 29. This new moon was supreme, filling your first house of personality, vitality, and desire with plenty of opportunity. You have power and weight these days, and VIPs will be listening to all you have to say. This is a rare new moon, as you only get one birthday new moon a year to direct in any way you would please. You have the Sun, Pluto, and Mercury all lined up behind the moon to help add gravitas and a sense of purpose to your persona. What is happening here is that you are beginning a powerful new cycle that will begin now and carry you forward one year.
Among the planets in the new moon’s entourage, Pluto’s presence is the most remarkable, for his orbit around the Sun takes 248 years. As you can imagine, few people get to experience Pluto in their own sign in their lifetime. Pluto first entered Capricorn in 2008, and will remain there until 2024. During the intervening years, you will gradually transform your life. Pluto is strongest when it matches the degrees of your birthday Sun, which is happening now, throughout 2017, for those with birthdays that fall near January 6 to 8. If you are a December-born Capricorn, you already experienced the most direct rays of Pluto as he first entered your sign. If you have a birthday that falls after January 8, your time is coming in future years between 2018 and 2024.
The hallmark of Pluto is transformation, so Pluto will challenge you to reinvent yourself in some part of your life. Pluto rules the foundations of things, so you are now building the foundation to your future. Pluto sometimes removes something or someone from your life that you absolutely feel you cannot life without – until Pluto removes that circumstance, and you find you can survive and actually flourish.
Think back to where you were before Pluto entered your sign in 2008 and how much you have grown since then. Pluto is associated with financial markets, so in 2008 much of the world saw the collapse of the financial markets in America and difficulties with markets in some countries in Europe. Pluto’s job was to point out the cracks in the foundations so that they can be fixed. His work is slow and methodical, so the subsequent years have brought much discussion about how banking practices can be improved, and how individuals can best assess what they can and can’t afford. You may have come to a new approach to money matters in your own life since that time, and if so, you can expect much more benefits from Pluto, beyond financial ones.
Pluto rules treasures that are not visible, but rather buried deep down in the earth and must be extracted and refined before they can be used for gain. Diamonds are one example, oil is another. You have talents within you, and during this trend, they can be brought to light if you commit to developing them. This new moon – the one that just occurred on December 29 – will underscore these themes of fresh opportunities to reinvent yourself in any way you like. Do so this month, especially in the first half of January.
Mercury in Capricorn will still be retrograde, continuing a trend that started December 19 and that will finish on January 8. That means you have time to think and reexamine your assumptions, for it’s not wise to begin new ventures when Mercury is retrograde. It’s also not wise to run up against the January 8 date – leave as much space from that date as possible. Mercury will make steady progress to resume its former strength, reaching that point of full strength on and after January 28. Unless you have something of enormous importance that you are planning, you don’t have to wait until late January to act.
You may have laid the groundwork to your future while Mars was in Capricorn from September 27 through early November 9. That was a potent time for you, but if you were concentrating on other matters, you will have a second chance now to do so – you must take it. Use this new moon period (that appeared December 29 and will continue to influence you until January 10) to take a step toward a goal that is deeply important to you.
If your birthday falls on December 29 plus or minus five days, the new moon will be vital to you, not only this month but for a full year, until the next new moon returns to refresh the Capricorn energy and highlight a different Capricorn birthday next year. (In 2018 the new moon will highlight those born within five days of January 16.) It’s rare to see a new moon on your birthday, so realize the year to come will be very special.
This year, if you are not born within five days of December 29, you can still reap benefits from this new moon in Capricorn 8 degrees. If you have Capricorn rising at that degree, plus or minus five degrees, you too will have a big year ahead. Also, if you have your natal horoscope, look to see if you have a natal planet within five degrees of 8 degrees Capricorn, Virgo, Taurus, or Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces. Watch that planet – you will see benefits from the place that planet occupies in your chart.
Month’s end will bring a gentle new moon, January 27-28, which will light your second house of earned income. This will be a good time to ask for a raise – it is the best time to do so for all of 2017.
While you are planning to make your first steps toward your biggest goal, I want you to wait until you get beyond the full moon in Cancer 22 degrees, due January 12. This will be a difficult full moon because Pluto will be conjunct the Sun and oppose the moon in Cancer 22 degrees. Uranus, from your house of home, will be in hard 90-degree angle to this full moon, and Jupiter, also in hard angle to Uranus and Pluto at 90 degrees, from your tenth house of career honors. The focus will be your partner, who appears to be unhappy about something. (Or, vice versa, you may be the one upset with your partner.) Or, it may be that you’ve had to move residences quite a bit recently and now in your new apartment or house, it is clear that your partner does not like it. Or, family may have intervened and put in their opinions, and their butting in could be harming your relationship with your partner. Jupiter will oppose Uranus, so you will feel demands of work are clashing with those at home, and you may long to be free of all constraints, limitations, and responsibilities – you have been under quite a bit of prolonged stress. This is a full moon, so something has been brewing for a while and is now coming to the surface and must be dealt with head on.
You do have enormous help from Mars, a positive development, suggesting talking through a conflict of opinions can dissolve difficulties. (Mars is in your communication sector.) Also, if the matter involves family, there is some indication that your sister or brother might be helpful, perhaps defending your point of view in ways that you can’t quite do yourself.
A cardinal cross will appear in the sky at this full moon, January 12, causing a box pattern involving Pluto and the Sun, Uranus, Jupiter, and the full moon. With a closed box, energy cannot escape, and that is the source of the tension – like a fly in a hot pot it buzzes all around, seeking escape, but with the lid on the pot, the fly finds no way out. You CAN find a way out, for full moons generate a lot of emotion, but as the full moon wanes, the discussions dissolve. Family or housing appears to be the unpredictable element in the equation, for Uranus is in that area of your chart covering them. Remember, you have help from Mars, and Mars is the natural ruler of your fourth house of home. It could be that a family member becomes ill and needs your urgent attention, and in doing all that needs to be done, causes a bit of chaos.
If your birthday falls on January 12, plus or minus four days, you will feel this full moon the most in terms of how you are interacting with a partner, most likely your spouse or steady sweetheart. Having a full moon on your birthday indicates many things in your life are reaching fruition, and a final stage. By your next birthday you will need a new set of goals, for you will have reached the goals you most wanted to achieve.
Month’s end will bring a gentle new moon, January 27-28, which will light your second house of earned income. The emotional content of the month will be over, and by time you get to month’s end, you can think about your finances. This will be a good tie to ask for a raise – the best time of all of 2017.
Mars will move into your home sector on January 28, so from then and continuing until March 9, you will again be thinking about your home or family matters. Mars usually brings noise and action, so you might have workmen over to complete a project, or you may have planned to do important entertaining. It is also possible you will host a guest in your home, perhaps a family member, who will stay in your guest room. More attention to your living situation or family will take place at the new moon April 15. It appears the situation you are dealing with is not one that can be solved quickly but will take time, some deep thinking and discussion.
If you can travel this month, it would be a wonderful idea. You need not go far, but make it a romantic setting near water or snow, for planets in Pisces are coaxing you in that direction. Venus will be very close to Mars by the last few days of January – close enough to touch. You will be able to forget your everyday cares and give in to love, sweet love. Venus in Pisces from January 3 to February 3 is a blessing to single and attached Capricorns. You need love and affection, and this month you can have it.
Summary
This is a positive month, and because January marks your birthday time of the year, several heavenly bodies have gathered to celebrate with you. Your annual birthday gift arrived at the end of last month, in the form of a new moon December 29, and that new moon opened a portal that you can still use to make exciting changes in early January. This is the only time of the year you can use a new moon in any way you please. In other months, I will show you which area of life to think about and plan an action, but a new moon in Capricorn has no restraints, no barriers, and no obstacles. What would you like to accomplish in 2017? Think about your first steps, and start to take the first one on January 9.
Mercury will be retrograde in Capricorn until January 8, the reason you will need to wait a bit before putting plans in action. When Mercury retrogrades, it is always a sign that the wind is changing direction. During the first week, spend time thinking about your strategy and watch for news of any possible changes that might influence your decisions.
Certainly, as soon as you are back at your desk, your weekdays will swirl with phone calls, emails, texts, and meetings. The new moon was in perfect angle to Mars, so it looks like you’ll be traveling short distances during the first half of January, possibly over a long weekend for relaxation. The little Goat loves to be near snowy mountain ranges, and with planets in Pisces, you will also want to be near water too, so consider going to a lodge near a lake or go skiing at a resort. Venus, Mars, and Neptune will all be in Pisces, and when the two cosmic lovers, Venus and Mars, cuddle up near January 27, you can have an outstandingly romantic or social experience, weaving a tapestry you will always remember.
Your marriage or a business partner may prove to be troublesome at the full moon on January 12, plus four days. Your client or business partner / collaborator may want to leave, putting you in a quandary about what to do. Or, a family member may voice an opinion about your partner that you feel is jarring, out of character, and perhaps inappropriate to say. Alternatively, one of your parents may need your help and full attention, but your partner may not understand the urgency of the situation. If it is not a family member that causes a bit of upset, it may be your home or other property that needs attention. Whatever comes up, it’s bound to make you feel emotional, and in your rush to fix things, you may be tempted to overdo, a bit like taking hammer to hit a gnat. You’ll do best to use a gentle touch.
There will be one more theme emerging in January as you get near the new moon, January 27-28, and it will involve the new moon in Aquarius, falling in your house of salary and other earned income. The days following the new moon will be your best time of 2017 to ask for a raise, but you must act quickly. Gather up your courage and make the appointment with your boss. If you are self-employed, you can now generate new business and also gently raise your rates. If you work in high technology, electronics, app or software development, medical, biological or scientific research, genetics, astrophysics, or any of the social or humanitarian sciences, you will do exceptionally well. Even if you don’t work in these “Aquarian” fields, you still will do well for this new moon wants to reward you. Be courageous.

2017 predictions

In the USA the vote for Trump is showing that the electorate is fed up with so called politicians.
They are only in it for themselves, so the Trump reaction shouldn't be a surprise.
Te
he Americans think that Trump being a billionaire, must know what he is talking about economically.
Putting walls up on the borders of Mexico is just what the electorate wanted to hear.
Expelling all muslims is something else they wanted to hear.
However, Trump by doing any of these things will be a great boost for the UK economically.

I believe that Trump will have to temper down his rhetoric and will become ineffective.
He will not become friendly with Putin, because Putin will stab him in the back. This will be a huge marketing ploy for Putin and eventually he will say ' see how stupid the Americans are!'

Also, because Trump will piss off so many other countries, they will divert their trade agreements and this is where the UK will benefit.

The EU will break up into a smaller band of countries. I see Italy and Greece coming out of the EU. Why?
They will reduce their debt to the EU. This started just a month or so ago. The IMF lent money to Greece on the basis that they cut back, because their pension schemes were not being funded by taxes. Then they decided to give bonuses to pensioners, without asking permission. Now the creditors have pulled loan extensions and Greece is in trouble again. Greece has been bankrupt before, so it's not inconceivable they will be so again. They fail the EU economic ratios and therefore, should not be in the Euro.

Italy banks are in trouble and have been for years. The same will apply to Italy.
Other countries that could leave are:
Spain
Ireland
Denmark
Holland.

Germany is in trouble. I see Merkel losing the elections. Opinions in Germany will become worse and there will be an growing right wing appeal, as will there be in France.
In essence the EU is now finished and it's just the Euro MP's who are clinging to the gravy train.

The Labour party as it is acting will have to split and a new party will be created for the less than enthusiastic Unionists who are hell bent on killing Labour off.

Expect China to start to calling the shots in various countries. They have so much investment in numerous countries, including the UK that they will start to use their influence. This is why Putin is pushing Europe into testing their defences. They will invade where necessary, like Ukraine.
The useless UN will not be able to do anything!
Sanctions - what the hell does Russia think of those- absolutely nothing.
So many billionaires, they even own most of London property from money laundering and they own soccer clubs.
What if Russia tells the club owners to pull their funding!! The Premier league will collapse and the FA.
China is trying to create a new football league and will grow more and more, to replace FIFA fatcats.

2017 will be interesting!!
