RUSSELL GRANT
Aries March 21–April 20
You have lots to be glad about and you count your many blessings. New responsibilities are coming your way and you can’t help wondering whether you’re taking on too much. If you feel overwhelmed by a job or partnership, take a step back and think about what you really want to do.

Taurus April 21 – May 21
People are trying to ignore a problem but it isn’t going to go away. There are ways to remedy this situation. You will prefer to face it head on and sort this out before it gets out of control. Even if you don’t get any help to do so, you will deal with it and you will do so in a cool and critical fashion.

Gemini May 22 –June 21
Remembering past episodes where you made wrong choices is holding you back. You need to have more confidence in yourself and in the decisions you are making. You don’t need anyone else’s opinion and you don’t need a bossy friend’s approval. Do something just for yourself.

Cancer June 22 –July 23
An older relative will give you a number of reasons why you shouldn’t pursue certain aims. You can understand some of what they are saying but you have valid reasons of your own as to why you want to do this. It is what you want to do and where you need to be heading.

Leo
July 24 – August 23 You’re spending far too much on here-today-andgone-tomorrow pleasures. You know this has to stop as you have told yourself this a few times before. Own up to the fact you’ve been getting carried away with the credit cards. It’s important to start living within your means.

Virgo Aug 24 – Sept 23
Your mind is hopping from one topic to the next as you try to keep up with someone who is jumping from one job to another. You feel you can’t keep up with them and this is making you confused. Force them to slow down if you are supposed to be working together.

Libra Sept 24–Oct 23
A sports competition will require nerves of steel. You have trained a long time for this and you will handle yourself and the pressure incredibly well. When you make promises and commitments let people see you are serious. They need to be sure that they can rely on you.

Scorpio Oct 24 – Nov 22
A workmate or neighbour will be helpful in a personal matter. Be sure to thank them for their time. Benefit will come from activities that need teamwork and cooperation. A community exercise will also be your chance to get to know someone who has up until now just been an acquaintance.

Sagittarius Nov 23 – Dec 21
You will be expected to remain neutral in order to oversee a competitive process. A colleague who you thought enjoyed their work will suddenly hand in their resignation. They will be remembered for the big changes they helped bring about in working conditions and procedures.

Capricorn Dec 22 –Jan 20
Someone you know well has somehow got caught up in a scandalous or shocking incident. If you know they are innocent, offer your support and speak up for them. Conditions linked with a personal or professional partnership feel unsettling. You hate it when aspects of your life get messy.

Aquarius
Make serious decisions only if you suspect you might be adversely affected by a dubious venture. You have some doubts about some involvements but it will take time for important information to become available. A big concern is the amount of influence some people have over this.

Feb 20 – Mar 20 You knew that sooner or later you would have to introduce new appliances to your home or workplace. That time now seems to have come. Specialised equipment and materials will help you complete your work more efficiently. An in-law’s description of a recent incident will amuse you.

Neath-based Theatr na nóg will be staging Operation Julie – A Rock Musical at The Lyric Theatre in Carmarthen from Wednesday, August 31, to Friday, September 2.
The musical, which has already had a successful run at Aberystwyth Arts Centre, centres around a famous West Wales drugs bust which made international headlines back in the 1970s.
The theatre staff tell me all performances are now sell-outs, but you may be able to apply for some late returns.
Meanwhile, the countdown is well and truly on to Côr Meibion Llanelli’s welcome return to the concert stage. Vri ‘boys’ will be topping the bill at a charity concert at Morfa Social Club, affectionately known by all in Llanelli as ‘The Tin Hut’.
It is being held at 7pm on Saturday, September 10. All proceeds will go to the Llanelli Hospital Charity (Prince Philip Hospital) and the Wales Air Ambulance.
Supporting the choir will be Côr Curiad ladies choir and well-known west Wales band Otherside.
Tickets are £7 and available from any Côr Meibion Llanelli chorister or via the following phone numbers - 01554 741027, 01554 749556, 01554 810004.
Finally, two groups of musicians who have made a significant impact on the Welsh traditional folk music scene will come together for a concert at Theatr Gwaun this Saturday (September 3) at 7.30pm as part of the Fishguard Festival of Music.
They are Jordan Price Williams (cello, voice), Aneirin Jones (fiddle, voice) and Patrick Rimes (viola, fiddle, voice). They are already members of other established bands on the traditional music circuit – Calan, Elfen and No Good Boyo.
Pedair draws on the talents of four of Wales’ most prominent and award-winning folk artists: Gwenan Gibbard, Gwyneth Glyn, Meinir Gwilym and Siân James. Ground breaking international artists in their own right, all four thrive on collaboration and bring to life traditional material with new arrangements on harps, guitars, piano and accordion.
Gillian Green, artistic director of Fishguard and West Wales International Music Festival, said: “This concert is sure to capture the imagination of the audience with sweeping harmonies, creative synergy and fresh interpretations of Welsh folk music. It will be an evening to remember.”
“Vri will also participate in free outdoor performances the following day at Lower Town Quay, Fishguard at 8am and at Oriel y Parc in St Davids at 2pm. People of all ages, babies, toddlers and dogs can attend and audiences can ‘dip-in ‘ to the concert as they wish. The performance at Lower Town Quay will again take place at 8am and attendees enjoy the atmosphere which this time of day and the location brings.”
Tickets for the Theatr Gwaun concert are priced £15 with concessions of £5 for under 18s and £1 for under 12s. Outdoor concerts are free.
Tickets available for all events at www.fishguardmusicfestival.com.
