Harlequin's Haven
Greetings MoonBeams and SunGlams,
Love, love love - all we need is love! Welcome to February, month of St. Valentines and Aquarius sun. Essentially we are meant to make friends and connect with the world - how groovy! Aquarius rules the 11th House of friends and associations. It is also the perfect time for socializing and networking, planning for the year ahead. Not only do we have the opportunity to connect with others but we are entering the Year of the Fire Pig. That's right we are just about to step out of the loyalty-driven doggy door of the Dog and belly slam into the realm of the Pig. The Pig is quite often associated with prosperity (and we can all do with some of that right?).

Greetings Jemstar!
Here we are in February already and the year seems to be buzzing along nicely. In Australia we are experiencing a hot and dry summer with water restrictions being the topic of discussion. In Canberra however, there has been a ministerial shuffle and one of my favourite politicians has lost her seat (sounds funny doesn’t it, "lost her seat sort of like missing out on that game - musical chairs!). Unfortunately the music has stopped and the chair has been removed and now she needs to move on. I am not sure if you have heard of her but her name is Amanda Vanstone.
I guess I am guilty of gravitating toward people who inspire me. This woman is inspirational, she is solid and she is forthright - so why has her chair been pulled out from under her you may ask? I am not really sure but I know that her replacements are up and coming men who seem to have sat in the right spot when the music stopped. Please don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to make our column about women in politics but her dismissal (and the promise of a posting - "far far away in a land that time forgot is not encouraging, especially if we are inspired to change the world from inside the ivory tower.
You see, Jemstar our political fortress is this magnificent building at the end of a runway of pride and accomplishment. As you drive along Commonwealth Avenue you are reminded of how many men and women took their beliefs to foreign lands and made Australians proud of their heritage. I digress I know but my question to you this month is why does a strong and proud woman terrify (some) men?
In our government we come up short with credible contenders for the political arena. It almost seems as soon as a woman become popular or slides into a portfolio that attracts positive media attention then the chair is well and truly pulled out from under them. It’s very strange - I think that I will have to investigate this further.
In short I have made this correspondence about politics or more specifically women in politics. I guess in some ways it is
