Mighty Uranus is there to see you through the holiday season and the beginning of the New Year. Seeing this time as one of both practical and sensitive refl ection, and for once not making unrealistic goals will coast you through the host of celebrations prepared to face just what you must, any way that you have to.
Jupiter directs in your fi fth house, bringing to you the power of knowing the diff erence you can make, and emphasising essential skills you often prefer to hide. As Christmas is a time for traditional entertainment you are sure of your fun, but the New Year starts with a bang as a project long awaited enfolds.
Put all decisions behind you right now and prepare the very best Festive Season as there is time to embrace and reconcile appropriate family matters, and to have your say. Unity and Peace are emblems you have to take into consideration, but these bring silence when words and care are what is principally needed.
Great infl uences of both Mercury and Venus bring you joy for the holidays, and a touch of nostalgia brings you the gift of Christmases past and absent loved ones. Inspired to ring the changes, you have already made plans to coast you into the New Year, but it is time to look at yourself long and hard before you make decisions
Mercury greatly aff ects the recent actions of Mars, and in so doing backs all that you would wish to happen to put your best foot forward. Not one to plan you are nevertheless putting all your eggs in one basket, and without a safety net may become unstuck. Let seasonal activities give you respite from any pressured decisions.
Mars is ever present and asserting a comfortable power over the Holiday Season. You will get your own way for sure, but will it be what you want? There are many who would adapt to a wait and see tactic, but you are all or nothing in your response. The New Year hosts a busy time, as other priorities beckon you onwards.
Inspiring Venus brings light and love into your heart at the start of the New Year. Your planetary leader has plans for you, but mysteriously you will have to wait and see what sensitive and loving impact this has on your relationships, since nothing has yet been revealed. All will be well, but you have to wait and see.
Waiting for things to improve may be tiring and uneventful, and you need something right now to get your teeth into in the current scheme of things. The celebrations of now bring you a strong connection with someone who has become part of your life in such a short time. Keep open your heart and soul and follow your instincts.
With Mercury close to you as the New Year beckons us onwards, there is a chance at last that you may be heard, when previously deaf ears were your audience. Nobody loves the entertainment of the Festive Season more than you, but sometimes being surrounded by others can be overwhelming. Share in the joy you bring to others.
The celebration of both the Sun and Pluto in conjunction, bring clarity to a situation and illuminate anything previously conjectured or not known. The way ahead is open and free to be enjoyed, as you celebrate in your own inimitable style with those who love you for who you really are, and won’t let you down.
Venus heralds a year in which you fi nd yourself making great changes to your personal circumstances, and enjoying the diff erence that this makes. With the Festive Season a blur this year with pressure of entertaining others, you will have pleasant surprises for a New Year that starts to ring the changes and set the scene.
Feeling the love sent by Venus and the subliminal messages sent from Mercury you will be promised a Christmas surrounded by those who love and care for you, the way they do. This year has been full of problems but your survival has been boosted by your spiritual energies, and a belief that something better is just around the corner.

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.
