I’d like to know where the best place in the world is for me to take a holiday. I was born in Sydney, Australia around 3am, on the 21st of May 1984. Thanks, Nicole

Dear Nicole, I will only focus on one small area of your horoscope over the world and that is your relationship lines of Venus and Mars, and where you might best find attraction and desire(Mars) and love and harmony(Venus), but also a sense of competition with others(Mars) and events to do with values and money from others (Venus). Your Venus descendant line goes through Europe and in particular, Romania, Bulgaria and Greece.Your Mars descendant line also goes through this part of Europe, though further west and includes Hungary, Serbia and the south of Italy and the tip of Sicily.Even though you may never get to visit these places, looking out for people who come from these places may bring interesting relationships,business partners and friends.

I was born 14th March 1980 in Ipswich, Queensland, Australia at 5:48pm I’m currently living in Germany and I’d like to know some good places for me to visit in Europe. Thanks, Maryanne

Dear Maryanne, looking at your astrology map for Europe in terms of relationships (which could be a good place to have a holiday if you are already married, or to have a romantic holiday, or to find a potential partner) then the North East of Spain is strongly highlighted, particularly within 50 miles of Barcelona. Also the southern tip of France to the east of Marseilles (near Nice) and Tuscany in Italy is also good. Other places you may find are very enjoyable and where you will find co-operation and harmony with others in Europe (because you have a Venus line crossing over these areas) are Dublin in Ireland, the south west corner of Wales(Pembrokeshire), the south coast of Dorset in the UK, the west coast of France and Brittany , including east of Bordeaux city and Andorra in the Pyrenees. Also just south of Barcelona city in Spain; the island of Ibiza and the city of Algiers in Algeria, Africa.

My baby was born on November 27 2008 in Manhattan, New York at 11.45am. I am thinking of moving back to Melbourne or Sydney – which is better for her?

Dear Amanda, The east coast of Australia is good for your baby, with a harmonious and co-operative home life from having Venus on the IC of her chart over Sydney, so she’ll have fondness for Sydney and feel good about living there. Melbourne will be a place for her to work and take on responsibilities as she has a Saturn line going through the city. Saturn of course can be seen as good when things need to get done. In her natal chart she has a stellium of planets in Sagittarius, which cross the ascendant and go into her first house just to the east of New Zealand, so that in general the east coast of Australia will find those planets in her 1st/2nd house, all indicating that freedom and travel in that part of the world will feature  in her personality and self-worth, with the possibility of making money in Australia in particular.
