Here’s a question: If a tree falls in a forest, does it make a sound? Not if it ends up in a pile like bears do in the woods!

Sorry about that! But it’s International Day of Forests and World Poetry Day, so I’m taking some poetic license with an old proverb!

While Venus and Saturn are connected, it is our creativity (no matter how silly) that can create harmonious connections. Together we can grow stronger and prosper.

RAM

March 21 – April 20

The Equinox is about restoring balance. Someone in your world has too much power. And someone else has too little. And while we used to think that having a “boss” kept us from arguing over who was in control, our perception of authority has changed. We are wiser and more insightful. We understand that when people feel like they don’t have a voice, they are much less likely to make an effort. Perhaps you are not in the most powerful position right now. But when you speak out and share your concerns, you create change that restores harmony.

Be prepared for a special time, because the Equinox brings transformation. Visit cainer.com/dm

BULL

April 21 – May 21

You are more competent and capable than you think. But since you’ve only dipped a toe into the pool of your talents, you don’t appreciate all the gifts you’ve been blessed with. Therefore, you have decided that you are unable to handle a sensitive situation. But what have you tried? Where do you think you failed? What avenues have you left unexplored? Under the influence of the Equinox, the power of your imagination is powerful. Imagine yourself with the skills and insight to make a difference. Progress is possible.

TWIN

May 22 – June 22

Why do some people think they know all the answers when there are so many unsolved problems and unanswered questions? Because they feel vulnerable. That’s why they project such an ‘omniscient’ exterior. We feel good when we know what’s going on. So if we pretend we know, it gives us the illusion that things are going well. The danger is that we accept unnecessary limitations and don’t force ourselves to find out what is really going on. The Equinox brings an insight that changes your current plan. But that’s okay.

CANCER

June 23 – July 23

We store our deepest hopes and visions in our hearts. Of course, there must also be visions in our minds; our greatest dreams are somewhere between these two realms. And we don’t have much control when we think about our imagination. Although we know when we are entertaining pure fantasy, we can be so entertained that we fail to notice that we are projecting a fantastic attitude onto an unsatisfactory reality. The Equinox brings a realization. By changing your perception, you will appreciate what is really happening in your world.

LION

July 24 – August 23

What if you work in the construction industry and your current job involves demolishing a large building? You have prepared the area, placed the explosives in the right place and lit the fuse. As the dust clears, you realize it’s still standing. Argh! That’s about where you are right now regarding a challenge or obstacle. But if you’re tempted to go there to find out what happened, don’t. To wait! The next gust of wind will blow the whole thing over! That is what the Equinox energy will do.

VIRGIN

August 24 – September 23

Life is by nature unpredictable. It can always go pear-shaped. And there is always a small chance of disaster. But wouldn’t it make more sense, instead of dwelling on the negative, to expect a time of calm contentment? The Equinox promises a series of serendipitous events that will boost your confidence and enthusiasm. It’s time to think bigger (and braver) about your future plans. Like artists who describe their inspiration as coming from somewhere outside themselves, you are in a state of grace.

September 24 – October 23

“Judge not, and you will not be judged.” Hmmm… easier said than done! But making judgments is an essential part of life on planet Earth. A croissant? Or a pain au chocolat? From the food we eat to the friends we have, we are constantly judging and judging things (and each other). As a fair Libra, who can see pros and cons in almost everything, you don’t find it easy to make judgments. Therefore, decision-making can be challenging. Yet your instincts are finely honed. Trust them today.

The Equinox suggests that good times are ahead. For more information, visit cainer.com/dm

SCORPION

October 24 – November 22

Since our world is full of contradictions, it’s no wonder we get confused. Here’s an example: They say the best things in life are free. But they also say that everything has its price. So what should we think? As always, the truth lies between the two extremes. Some of the best things in life are free. And some cost a fortune. There is something you want that would bring reassurance and comfort to your world. It is an emotional quality (rather than something that can be purchased). The Equinox brings a priceless gift your way.

ARCHER

November 23 – December 21

We all sometimes wonder why we are here and what we should do with our lives. Are we arriving on planet Earth with a special mission to carry out? And if we don’t succeed, what happens? Since these are unanswerable questions, we just have to do our best. But what does that mean? Surely it’s about knowing ourselves and acting honorably toward others? Ruled by visionary Jupiter, you have an innate understanding of your purpose. If you’re not sure where you’re going, follow your heart.

When a wand runs out of magic, it is as useful as a twig. If your washing machine is broken, it just takes up space. It doesn’t take much to turn something useful into something useless. But the reverse is also true; it doesn’t take much to turn ‘not much’ into ‘something precious’. But when you’ve tried (and failed) to change something, you lose sight of the fact that it is possible. The Equinox provides the energy and insight to overcome a mental blockage. It strengthens your determination. Keep going. There are hopeful signs ahead.

AQUARIUS

January 21 – February 19

It’s easy to say something and start an argument. And if we’re not careful, a simple disagreement can escalate into a fighting situation. We are all capable of this. That’s why we have to be careful about what we say and who we say it to. What’s the point of fighting to get what you want, when you can get it if you just step back and take the time to find a more sensitive approach? Use your powers of observation today. If you decide to work together, you can negotiate towards your goal in a harmonious way.

February 20 – March 20

How will you get the most out of the Equinox energy? Instead of thinking about what “could have been,” or worrying about what “could happen next,” what if you focused on what’s happening now? Try to have the most optimistic view of your current circumstances and trust them. This is a cosmic invitation to reset, refocus and take a step forward with hope and faith. If you make a gesture that reflects your belief in a more fulfilling future, and act as if something good will come from everything that happens, then it will.

Nicknamed the cultural capital of India, the bustling metropolis of Kolkata offers an evocative immersion in history, art, literature and delectable food.

As a prominent port city on the Ganges Delta overlooking the Bay of Bengal, Kolkata was the prosperous capital of British India for more than a century until 1911, fostering iconic institutions, architecture and even a unique dialect of the Bengali language that is used today is widespread. Although it suffered from the post-independence economic downturn and the social challenges of overpopulation, Kolkata still retains an old-world romantic charm that juxtaposes beautifully with vibrant pockets of cosmopolitan modernity.

Understanding the city’s key facets before you arrive will help you better navigate and appreciate your journey through Kolkata’s chaotic canvas, bringing nostalgic stories of the past to life as you look optimistically to the future.

The tropical climate of Calcutta

Stretching across the Tropic of Cancer, Calcutta experiences a hot tropical wet and dry climate with seasonal variations throughout the year.

Summers see rising temperatures and humidity, while strong monsoon rains provide plenty of respite before the crisp, cool winters begin.

Patterns again

Summer (March – June)

Hot and humid weather with temperatures rising above 40 degrees Celsius in May. Tropical thunderstorms in the afternoon, accompanied by strong hot winds.

Monsoon (June – September) Heavy rainfall from June with high humidity of about 80%. Umbrellas and raincoats are a must during the wet months!

Winter (November – February)

Pleasantly cool with temperatures dropping below 15 C. Light woolen clothing, jackets needed, especially near the breezy riverbank of the Hooghly.

Post-monsoon autumn in October and pre-monsoon spring in March are wonderful weather for exploring Kolkata in a leisurely manner.

Iconic transport of Kolkata

As the first city in Asia to operate a metro line, an underground public transport system and electric trams, Kolkata still retains many of its vintage transport mainstays with trams and iconic yellow Ambassador taxis, although new routes are expanding.

Typical Kolkata rides

Yellow Ambassadors Sleek Hindustan Motors manufactured taxis made iconic by Bollywood legends

Metro Rapid transit route under construction to cover major parts of the city

Hand-pulled rickshaws Human-powered tricycle moves through thinner lanes

Ferries Scenic Hooghly River crossings to reach Howrah district

Tram Slow rides along selected fixed routes since 1902

Immersive cultural panorama

A pioneering crucible for the 19th-century Bengal Renaissance movement spanning literary, social and artistic genres, Kolkata strongly reflects a cultural shift from stagnant ideas to progressive intellectual philosophies relevant today.

Literary identity

Home to the first Nobel Laureate in Literature, Rabindranath Tagore

Schools attract celebrities Kalighat Painters, Satyajit Ray

Thriving book publishers along College Street ‘Boipara’

Food and party

Street food mecca aromatic phuchkas, sweet rasgullas

Vibrant ghats along the river Spiritually palpable, especially Durga Puja

Pioneer of Indian cinema Legendary actors taking to theaters in South Kolkata

Architectural allure

The buildings of Kolkata offer exemplary expressions of imperial grandeur, social reconstruction and religious harmony that proudly endure decades of history.

Best Historical Sites

1. Victoria Memorial Large white marble tribute to the British Queen
2. Howrah Bridge Architectural cantilever wonder over the Hooghly River
3. Marble Palace Opulent Victorian mansion with priceless art
4. Nakhoda Mosque Captivating beauty of red brick indoors
5. College Street Educational bookstores along the Presidential University

Culinary temptations

Food is an integral part of the neighborhood’s identity, with small streets known for specialized dishes that can be enjoyed at your leisure under twinkling lights.

Bengali signature dishes

• Mishti Doi – Sweetened yogurt tempered with cardamom
• Kosha Mangsho – Slow cooked mutton curry
• Chingri Malai Curry – Juicy shrimp in creamy coconut gravy
• Bhapa Ilish – Steamed Hilsa wrapped in banana leaves
• Sandesh – Fluffy delicacy of milk curd, shaped into a sweet dessert

Where to party

Tea Shops Strong aromatic brews with fried fritters

Candy shops Rosogolla, Misti doi, curd stacks and more!

Restaurants Continental, Mughlai cuisine with meat and vegetable dishes

Street buns, phuchka, jhalmuri stalls filled with mixtures

Best time for Kolkata trip

Visit Bengal’s epicurean gem during the winter months between November and March, when balmy sunshine and open azure skies make exploring pleasant along sidewalks dotted with vibrant orange shimul flowers.

The holiday spirit is also palpable with ornate idols under pandals, cultural performances and mouth-watering specialties. However, expect crowds and hotel costs to spike accordingly.

I hope this introduction helps you discover and immerse yourself in the rich heritage of the City of Joy, intertwined with modern landscapes, for an excellent journey through dynamic, dreamy and delightful Calcutta.

Where are you going? Backwards, forwards or sideways? We tend to think that reversal is negative. But making the decision to revisit the past and revise an old idea can be valuable. Sometimes this means recognizing the value of something we take for granted. As long as you’re not letting anyone down, there’s no shame in discarding one idea and replacing it with another. Yet you can’t spend the rest of your life doing what someone else thinks you should do.

Time to be honest and direct. Just four minutes on the phone can change your life. For your latest forecast please call 0906 751 5603.

Some people say that one of the most surprising things about life is its predictability. As an example, they point out that the sun rises and sets every day.

Do you consider yourself successful? I hope so. If you’re the kind of soul who tends to doubt your achievements, it’s worth thinking about how you define success. It doesn’t relate to the amount of money you have in the bank; Many rich people have failed relationships. Or you fail to appreciate life’s gifts (like the sunrise and good conversations). So if wealth is the way we quantify success, we’re doing something wrong. The best kind of success is available to you now. It comes with appreciation.

The future awaits you. When you get there you will love it! For insight call 0906 751 5606.

September 24 – October 23

An act of kindness is never reckless. It’s never wrong to be generous either. Yet we downplay these qualities and dismiss them as naive. But what we all know in our hearts is that when we expect the best from someone, he or she will give the best of themselves. And even if it’s not good enough, this is the best they can do; and somehow that’s good for everyone. You fear that if you are kind and generous to someone, you will be seen as weak. But that’s a small price to pay.

Daniel Paul Heazlewood lived a wealthy lifestyle, wore a $10,000 designer watch, dated women at expensive restaurants and learned to fly planes on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.

Apart from his job as a roofer, no one really knew where the money came from, nor did they know the horrifying secret of Heazlewood and the life he had left behind 200km away on the Gold Coast.

Heazlewood had changed his name to Daniel Blake and wanted to charm women with the rules he had written in a “What Dating Dan Looks Like” list on a whiteboard.

The list included candlelit baths, beach trips in a 4WD, kissing and ‘biting… often’ and ‘any sex ranging from passionate to rough (high sex drive, lasts a long time)’.

His dating guide worked, and women thought “he seemed like the guy who had it all.”

‘He was muscular, neatly dressed and always had cash on him. Would eat and drink,” an acquaintance told Daily Mail Australia.

The truth about who he really was only fully emerged on Australia Day, when Heazlewood allegedly lost control and brandished a crowbar at one of his friends.

The police were called. It was not until almost a month later that a warrant for his arrest culminated in an appearance before the Maroochydore Magistrates Court and he was taken back into custody.

In reality, the ‘romantic’ tradie was a convicted murderer who took his own mother’s life because he was ashamed that she was a ‘bogan’. He then bought a shovel from Bunnings and put her body in the boot of his car, a court heard.

He was caught murdering his mother, Linda Sidon, only nine years after her death in 2009, and has never been able to say exactly where he dumped her body in the scrubland of the Numinbah Valley, southwest of the Gold Coast.

After serving just 29 months behind bars, Heazlewood left prison, changed his name and started a new life on the Sunshine Coast where, until his final arrest, few who knew him realized he was an ex-con who was on parole for manslaughter and interference with his mother’s corpse.

Now Daily Mail Australia can exclusively reveal Heazlewood is back in a Queensland prison, and friends have shared what could be the 37-year-old’s sinister secret about how he killed his mother.

Heazlewood is currently in custody at the Brisbane Correctional Center on the crowbar charge and is believed to have breached his parole for the charge relating to his mother’s death, which is only expiring April 2025.

He is due to appear in court early next month on one charge of ‘going armed to cause fear’.

Heazlewood murdered his mother when he was 22 years old in the Ashmore, Gold Coast duplex they shared on or about June 20, 2009.

He then kept it a secret for years, as if she had returned to her native New Zealand.

After killing her in what detectives initially described as murder, he bought agricultural lime in an attempt to decompose her flesh and bones because he had seen it ‘in a film’, a court heard.

He then drove 36 km to Pine Creek Road in the Numinbah Forest and dug a shallow grave in a creek or waterhole.

It wasn’t until 2018 that he would admit to police that he killed his mother, but he claimed it was in self-defense, resulting in a minimum sentence of just four years and nine months.

In a police interview he said his mother had come at him with a butter knife during a fight and “I had my forearm like around her neck and we were arguing and then she stopped moving,” the court was told.

Heazlewood was eligible for parole and walked out of prison in February 2021, first to the Brisbane suburb of Carina and then to Maroochydore.

He told people who befriended him on Instagram that the reason he only had about 30 followers is because he had just moved from the Gold Coast and was “starting over”, laughing off a new friend’s question when he was just in had been in prison. .

He started taking flying lessons and boasted about his intention to become a pilot.

One of his new friends revealed that the killer had a phobia of drowning, to the point that he couldn’t watch movies with drowning scenes.

He blamed his mother for the phobia, saying she made him watch a drowning video.

But one of the people he befriended said they suspected there was another reason: that instead of his armed mother dying in battle, he had “drowned” her and left her in the water in the undergrowth abandoned.

‘I can’t help but have a bad feeling about it. I believe it is something sinister,” the friend said.

When authorities searched parts of the 116 square kilometer Numinbah Valley for Ms Sidon’s body following Heazlewood’s confession, they concluded it might never be found due to the fact that water levels had risen and her bones might have been washed away.

Heazlewood dated several women after his release from prison but proved “incredibly toxic” and was “emotionally abusive and manipulative”, they said.

When new friends eventually found out Daniel’s real name and Googled him, he admitted to killing his mother but made excuses.

One woman “went home and couldn’t stop vomiting,” but took pity on him after he told a story about “being abused as a child by both his mother and father, in and out of foster care.”

However, Heazlewood’s stories of an abusive childhood do not fit the narrative and Ms Sidon’s family said he was never in foster care.

Mrs. Sidon, a 46-year-old cleaning lady, continued to house, feed and care for her son even as he grew up and began to despise her.

As a man in his early twenties, he boasted to friends that it would be “so easy to break her neck” and denigrated his mother as “a bogan, a whore and a ***.”

Ms Sidon had told her father in New Zealand that Heazlewood had ‘beat her up a lot’, and it was he who informed New Zealand authorities of her disappearance in late 2010.

Police charged Heazlewood with murder in 2015, but reduced the charge to manslaughter in 2018. was convicted by the Supreme Court of Queensland.

He served only 29 months in prison.

He faces a possible maximum sentence of two years if found guilty of the charges related to the alleged crowbar incident.
