HOROSCOPES FOR JUNE

BY LOCAL ASTROLOGER LETICIA PARMER

With Saturn going retrograde and Jupiter shining its helpful energy on a whole new area of our lives, June will be an easier month all round. So much so that you’re likely to find the energy to at last tackle all that clearing and cleaning you have been putting off till now.

Aries

Things are on the up, financially, for you. A contract or earning opportunity you have been chasing will now come to fruition. A great month for clearing the weight of debts.

Taurus

Personal luck is yours, so no more taking a back seat for you. Shy Taurus must morph into extravert and ‘showman’ Taurus this month. Others will be enthralled by you.

Gemini

Even the lively and multi-tasking Gemini must slow down and recharge batteries from time to time. This June is a month when you would gain more from meditation than chatter.

Cancer

Friends come to the fore to offer fun and support. This June you appreciate them and all your social interactions more than ever. Why not bring a little gift for each one you visit.

LEO

A father or older relative will feature strongly and helpfully in your life now. What a lovely month for honouring your family tree and traditions, by organising a family gathering.

Virgo

Sport and fitness really excite you this month. You may start June with the goal of re-claiming full fitness and health. Why not take up a new sport, or re-kindle an old one?

Libra

This is the month for clearing the clutter. You love beauty and breathing space, yet you hang onto things “just in case”. June is when you achieve peace by bravely chucking out.

Scorpio

Things will go from strength to strength in partnership. Jupiter is helping all forms of cooperation for you now. This is your month to let the barriers down and let your heart open.

Sagittarius

You have a great eye for detail this month. Add to this your natural ability to solve practical problems and you may find yourself happily on duty fixing puzzles for others.

Capricorn

Children will bring a great deal of joy into your life this June. As a grandparent or parent, you may be thrilled by a visit or a lovely personalised gift. Get painting this month too.

Aquarius

Yes you are a free spirit and extremely socially conscious but now you gain more from staying close to home. You’ll get a kick from creative domestic pursuits such as baking.

Pisces

Words are inspiring for you this June, so take out your pen, gift yourself a beautiful notebook and let the inspiration flow into poetry and stories that will inspire others.

Helen Gagan Solicitor Asset Protection Trusts

“We’ve worked hard and saved all our lives, why should the Local Authority have access to everything if one of us needs to go into a care home?”

Mirror Wills leaving everything to the surviving spouse on your death for most families is the natural assumption of the right thing to do. HOWEVER, this means there is no asset protection in having this arrangement and all the matrimonial assets are exposed to being taken in care fees if sadly your health deteriorates and you end up needing full time care.

For a variety of reasons I DO NOT recommend giving your house to your children or putting it into Trust in your lifetime. Therefore, you will need to ask yourself, is it a good idea to leave your half share of your home to your surviving spouse/partner on death? Why not leave your half share for their USE but not actually give it to them?

Helen Gagan Solicitor Property Trust Wills can be drafted to be as flexible as you wish but the most straight forward arrangement is that on your death, if you die first, you leave your half share of your home in a family Trust arrangement for the benefit of by way of example your children, but state they are not to receive it during the lifetime of your surviving spouse.

Your half share of the property would then NOT be included in any future means test calculation for care fees.

Free initial consultations are available. If you have a Will already in place that you would like reviewed in line with your present situation or simply wish to obtain some more detailed information on Asset Protection Trusts, please feel free to email or call the office for an appointment.

Helen is a full member of the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) the leading worldwide professional body for practitioners in the field of Wills, Estate Planning, Trusts and related issues. Helen will be delighted to help and advise the local community in relation to:

• Wills and Trusts

• Inheritance Tax

How secure is your outdoor property?

Quite often people don’t secure their shed or garage in the same way they do their homes, yet they are there to protect your valuable contents. An opportunistic burglar can find the tools they need in your shed or garage to break into your home. Ensure that any outbuildings, sheds or side entrances on your property are left secure and that bikes or tools are locked away and hidden from view. The most common items stolen from sheds and outbuildings are:

• Bikes, which includes electric bikes and quad bikes

• Mowers

• Sporting equipment

To improve security consider taking the following steps:

• Buy a shed alarm

• Keep keys secure and out of sight

• Fix a laminated glass film or a mesh / grill to the inside of any windows.

• Power tools

• Garden tools

• Fit concealed hinges to prevent burglars from unwinding screws and bolts.

• Consider security lights and CCTV.

• Consider property marking your items with your surname and postcode

We are committed to catching criminals and making your neighbourhood a safer place to live. The information we receive from you and your neighbours plays a huge part in enabling us to do that. If you see anything suspicious, call us straight away on 999.
