ENTERTAINMENT THIS WEEK MERCURY JOINS MARS, VENUS, SUN AND NEW MOON IN THE SIGN OF LITTLE THINGS MEAN A LOT – AS IN BOTHER IF YOU DON’T GET THEM RIGHT…
ARIES: Pushy Mars plus four other planets in your house of organising efficiency could have you stressy, fussing, and critical of others, but don’t go there. Instead, use this week’s incisive energy to get crystal clear about your working relationships in terms of timelines, commitment, returns for outlay, and divisions of labour.
WOODSTOCK REVISITED The Drill Hall Theatre Company is celebrating the 50th anniversary of Woodstock with a Woodstock screening on Fathers Day so that you can throw on the paisley pants and throw back to peace, love, and music. Mercifully it is three hours of fun, not three days of fun! Come as you were – and if you are too young to remember come as you would like to be remembered! At 1969 prices ($10) and with limited seating, bookings are essential at the Drill Hall Theatre website, or Mullumbimby Bookshop. Beverages will be available (hashtag cookies aren’t the same, but hey, the thought’s there) and what better way to spend Sunday arvo (2pm film, with doors open at 1pm to get in the mood) on this special Fathers Day screening? Hey man it’s going to be far out!
TAURUS: Feeling something deeply? Then do something positive. During this transit of rejigging things, Mercury has you in the mood for frank discussions on what’s not working, why not and how it could. Do you just need to hit the refresh button, or is it a knock-down/new-start scenario? Take off the filters and go there. GEMINI: As your celestial ruler joins the gang of planets in a fellow Mercurial sign, family and base of operations take centre stage for the coming fortnight with significant changes, or even a move on the cards. Feelings are likely to be sensitive and emotions raw, so take this chance to talk about how you really feel. CANCER: With five planets in your busy mind sector, look who’s buzzing with cutting-edge ideas. This is a highly social period, so network the heck out of it by experimenting with creative ways to interact, communicate and expand digital platforms. The perfect concept for precisely the right project could be heading in your direction… LEO: If you were ever going to have That Talk, especially one concerning work and/or finances, you couldn’t find a more auspicious time than the next fortnight with verbal Mercury at its most expressive in your economic sector, backed up by the sun, new moon, motivating Mars and convincing Venus. You’re welcome… VIRGO: Been waiting for the perfect time? Welcome to the year’s most brilliant fortnight, Mercurians, with Mars and Venus canoodling in your sign and Mercury handing you the mic. This week’s existential exercise, besides wildly enjoying Virgo new moon’s charisma enhancement, is expressing yourself authentically without offending anyone.
. LIBRA: This week’s clean-up-your-act transit could activate unplanned soul searching, an unexpected emotional release, a healing transition or pivotal turning point. Is it time to let go of a festering resentment, ancient grief, habit that’s run its course, activity that’s lost its lustre or exhausting high-maintenance acquaintance? SCORPIO: There’s a time to do it your way, and a time to put on your team player hat: and the key to this week’s success is strategic partnering and staff selection for Team Scorp. Seize the day while you may, because astral forces are currently favouring group projects and communal endeavours. SAGITTARIUS: With this week’s process-oriented gang of planets nudging your career, public recognition, and longterm planning sector, it’s definitely worth tweaking, updating, streamlining, or modernising business methods to fit current conditions. Give those traditional tried-and-true methods an overhaul: think bigger picture and wider horizons. CAPRICORN: Why play by the old rules – haven’t you had enough of that? Now spring’s officially sprung away from gloomy Eeyore thinking, a plethora of optimistic planetary energy is suggesting you swap the comfort zone for the route less travelled and new experiences. Why not – what have you got to lose? AQUARIUS: Uh-oh, watch out, world! As Mercury, Mars, Venus, sun, and new moon gang up to press your passion switch you’ll be at your most uninhibited, heading into a spring-fever immersion in whatever you love. No more lingering in limbo as finances, creativity, personal and public life all kick into higher. gear… PISCES: This week’s Piscean headlines read: Romantic Reboot! Sultry Emotions! Passionate Opinions! Honest Conversations! Intimate Communication! This is your ultimate pairing-up transit, and the force is with you for collaborating. And not just pie-in-the-sky stuff: you’ll need to make dates, plan steps, draw up timelines, and get agreements in writing.

ANGEL HAS FALLEN
Cinema
No-one expected there to be a third instalment in this series and yet here we are with Angel Has Fallen. Secret Service agent Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) is nearing the end of his career in the field when the president (Morgan Freeman) selects him to be the Secret Service director. After an assassination attempt on the president during a fishing trip, Banning and the president are the sole survivors. Banning is then charged with
the attempted murder of the president, set up by an unknown fugitive. Naturally he has to escape, prove his innocence, and find out who is behind everything. The plot is nothing you haven’t seen before but the movie does have a more gritty and real feel than the last two. As far as action movies go, it’s hard to keep action sequences fresh and interesting; however, they do have a couple of pleasant scenes that are nicely shot. You can always expect a good performance from Morgan Freeman, although he doesn’t have a lot of lines. A somewhat surprising aspect to the film is the chemistry between Gerard Butler and Nick Nolte. Nolte plays Banning’s father, a paranoid Vietnam vet who actually gets to see a lot of action in the film. If you’re a fan of action movies and have been a fan of the series in the past or just want to switch off your brain for a couple of hours then this is the movie for you.
