Scopes for the week of Dec 26th-2011 Written by Cerise Fairfax

Aries (March 21-April 19)

A friend will invite you to an event you would generally not attend. Even if you are somewhat uncomfortable, still play it off by not allowing others to see your discomfort. Smile and show some enthusiasm.

Taurus (April 20- May 20)

Pay attention to the sound and delivery of somebody's words when they are speaking to you, and you will be able to literally ascertain what their true intentions are with you or the situation at hand.

Gemini (May 21- June 20)

Do not allow the changes of each hour to ruin your day or shatter a good mood. Instead, take the good with the bad and go with the flow. Going against the grain will cause more chaos than needed.

Cancer (June 21- July 22)

Relax and think before you jump into circumstances which may be too unpredictable for a positive outcome. Risk is not necessary right now, and neither is moving too fast. Take your time and think first.

Leo (July 23- August 22)

Challenges will arise in the heat of the moment, however, if you do not scream and holler while in the midst of the issue, then you will be fine and things will cool off relatively quickly.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

Balance is the key to your success, so try not to be an extremist. Do things in moderation and your plans for the future will unfold in a timely manner with the most favourable results. Remain focused.

Libra (September 23- October 22)

Even it is hard to do, but it is good for you to do, then do it. At the end of the day you will feel proud that you had the discipline, and the courage to do what is best.

Scorpio (October 23- November 21)

Go out and enjoy yourself with a close friend or family member. Attend an event or simply enjoy the summer rays on a patio. Whatever you choose to do have fun, and do not over do the drinking.

Sagittarius (November 22- December 21)

Write out a few of your wishes for the future. Place them in an envelope and put it away. Within three weeks to three months, depending on your time line, open the envelope and see how many wishes came true.

Capricorn (December 22- January 19)

Feeling sour about circumstances you truly had no control over? do your best to forget the situation and move forward. Do not make it more important than what it was. Remember, you had no control over the situation, nor the outcome.

Aquarius (January 20- February 18)

When somebody gossips about you, you have two choices. One is to take it seriously and make a huge stink out of it, the second is to let them chat, and realize that in time they will choose another victim, or their karma will kick them.

Pisces (Feb 19- March 20)

Do what comes natural. Pushing yourself beyond your comfort zone is important too, but it's more important to do it with wisdom and patience

Go out and make new friends. Join a gym, or a personal building group where folks are doing things for life which increases their future success. People who are doing things which make their life better will inspire you.

BETTER 2 KNOW - Are you in an abusive relationship?

You may be in an abusive or unhealthy relationship, if your partner:
1. Is jealous or possessive of you – this can look like too many texts or phone calls asking where you are and who you’re with
2. Tells you what or what not to wear, who you can or can't talk to, where you can or can't go
3. Is violent, gets in fights, loses his/her temper a lot
4. Pressures you to have sex, or to do something sexual that you don't want to do
5. Uses drugs and/or alcohol and tries to pressure you into doing the same
6. Physically or verbally hurts you
7. Blames you for his or her problems
8. Tells you that it's your fault that he or she hurt you
9. Insults and embarrasses you in front of others
10. Makes you afraid of their reactions to things

While these exact signs may not show up on the first date, pay attention to your “uh-oh” feelings. Your gut instincts are generally right. If someone you’re dating is abusing alcohol or calling you names after only a few dates, these are red flags that you’re in an unhealthy relationship.
Pay attention to these 5 signs of a healthy or unhealthy relationship:
Healthy: Mutual respect. Respect in a relationship means that you both value and accept who each other is and your boundaries.

Unhealthy: Verbal, emotional or physical abuse. This includes physical injury from hitting, kicking, punching or pushing, or using verbal threats, putting someone down verbally, putting your partner in a dangerous situation, etc.
_______________________________________________________________
Healthy: Trust and honesty. It’s okay to be a little jealous at times - jealousy is a natural emotion. But how a person reacts when they feel jealous is what matters. Communicating openly, being honest with one another and showing each other trust are all part of a healthy relationship.
Unhealthy: Distrust. Even when you are truthful and honest, your partner doesn’t believe you and may use this mistrust to continue the cycle of abuse. While jealousy is a natural emotion, in an unhealthy relationship, this often leads to a controlling partner who wants to know where you are and who you’re with at all times.
_______________________________________________________________
Healthy: Good communication. You should be able to speak honestly and openly with one another – this is the easiest way to avoid miscommunication.
Unhealthy: Low self-esteem. You’re told you’re not good enough, or that it’s your fault your partner is abusive and hurts you. You become fearful of their reaction to anything you do or say and you’re often set up so that your partner can continue the cycle of abuse.
_______________________________________________________________
Healthy: Equality. Relationships are about giving and taking, if one person is only giving or taking, a relationship can turn sour quickly. Both people in the relationship make decisions to avoid power struggles.
Unhealthy: Possessiveness. Much like jealousy, possessiveness is about control. If your partner is possessive you may feel alone and isolated from friends, family and others.
_______________________________________________________________
Healthy: Separate identities. It’s common to take on your partner’s interests, choice of music or movies, etc., but a healthy relationship is about compromise. If he picks where you go tonight, you get to pick tomorrow, etc.
Unhealthy: Losing You in the relationship. You shouldn’t have to change who you are, stop seeing your friends or family, change what you like, etc. for someone else.
_______________________________________________________________
It may be difficult to leave someone who needs help. But it is not healthy to stay in a relationship that involves abusive behavior of any kind.
Remember, You deserve a healthy relationship that makes you happy.

BETTER 2 KNOW - New Polymer bank notes (money)

Introducing new polymer bank notes
Starting in November 2011, the Bank of Canada will be introducing new polymer bank notes into circulation.
The $100 bill will be introduced on November 14, 2011, followed by the $50 bill in March 2012. The remaining denominations will be issued on polymer by the end of 2013.
The new notes will have a different look and feel, along with some new security features that will make them easier to verify and more difficult to counterfeit.
Polymer notes are also better for the environment. They last at least 2.5 times longer than paper-based notes and will be recycled, lowering replacement costs and environmental impact.
For more information about the new notes, visit the Bank of Canada.

Scopes for week of Dec 5th-2011 Written by Cerise Fairfax

Aries (March 21-April 19)
Smile and be proud of who you are. We are on a road to betterment, and nobody is perfect! You are perfectly imperfect, love it! Embrace you!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
A friend will make an off-handed comment. Do not take their words to heart if their words do not make sense. Just take them at face value and look no deeper.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Do what is required without a complaint. If more is required than you initially thought, then go with the flow, and try not to complain.

Cancer (June 21- July 22)
Do your thing, and try not to recoil in your shell when others ostracize you for who you are. Continue to be yourself and speak your concerns. Others may try to quiet your storm, but they simply will not succeed.

Leo (July 23-August 22)
Do not shy away from an opportunity you have been wishing for. Even if you feel unprepared, it is still important to take the leap in order to gain the first step of experience.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)
Before making a decision find out more information. You may like to take risks, but in this situation being uninformed may work against you. In addition, the more knowledge you have the stronger you will be.

Libra (September 23-October 22)
Give your 100 per cent and try not fault others when they do not notice you. Do it from your heart and the passion will pay off monetarily within three weeks to ten months. Others will want to help more then.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Hold on and try to use your inner strength as opposed to relying on others. Of course at times it is better to have support from others, but sometimes it is best to rely on our own resources.

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
There is a first time for everything. Try something new. Remember that we are never too old to learn, and hey, it is always nice to increase our knowledge, it enhances our respect for life.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
Heard something disturbing? Sit down and try to comprehend exactly what it was that upset you. Do not overreact, otherwise unpredictable events may unfold. Stay cool, remain calm and things will eventually make sense.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
Take your time to answer if you are unsure how to respond. Otherwise, if you answer too quickly, without thinking first, you may say something which does not completely explain your position. Think, then answer.

Pisces (Feb 19-March 20)
Some things take longer than expected, but if you are tolerant of time, and other people’s actions, you will see why it is said “patience is a virtue”. You will not only be respected for your time, but also rewarded.
