Okinawa celebrates the<br />

Cherry Blossom Festival.<br />

Nakijin Castle, a world<br />

heritage site <strong>on</strong> the Motobu<br />

Peninsula in Nakijin Village<br />

near Nago City, is paying<br />

homage to the sakura for the<br />

very first time, hosting a<br />

Cherry Blossom Festival<br />

through February 10th.<br />

More than 200 Japanese<br />

lanterns line the st<strong>on</strong>e stairs<br />

leading up the mountain to<br />

Nakijin Castle, center of the<br />

Kingdom of Hokuzan in the<br />

13th through 15th centuries.<br />

The castle, battered<br />

through centuries of<br />

typho<strong>on</strong>s and the ravages of<br />

the 1945 Battle of Okinawa,<br />

was home to King Haniji,<br />

ruler of the Northern<br />

Kingdom during the early<br />

14th century as the island<br />

was divided into three facti<strong>on</strong>s.<br />

Its fortified positi<strong>on</strong><br />

atop a sharp cliff overlooking<br />

the Shigema River made<br />

Nakijin Castle a fortress<br />

almost impossible for enemies<br />

to attack.<br />

Nakijin Castle covers<br />

more than 14 acres, with<br />

limest<strong>on</strong>e inner and outer<br />

walls stretching more than<br />

1.5 kilometers. Housed<br />

<strong>down</strong> <strong>special</strong> <strong>textbook</strong> committee<br />

The Liberal Democratic Party’s<br />

Okinawa branch has proposed<br />

abolishing its <strong>special</strong> committee<br />

established last year to provide<br />

input <strong>on</strong> the Ministry of Educati<strong>on</strong> decisi<strong>on</strong><br />

to alter high school <strong>textbook</strong><br />

accounts of mass suicides during the<br />

Battle of Okinawa.<br />

The ruling party’s spokesman says<br />

“It’s not yet 100% satisfied with answers<br />

from the government,” but the executive<br />

committee group believes it has d<strong>on</strong>e all<br />

that it can. The decisi<strong>on</strong> to break up the<br />

committee is not being met with universal<br />

acceptance; many <str<strong>on</strong>g>LDP</str<strong>on</strong>g> members<br />

want to keep the <strong>special</strong> committee in<br />

operati<strong>on</strong> until the Ministry of Educati<strong>on</strong><br />

lives up to its promises to restore original<br />

language to <strong>textbook</strong>s before April.<br />

The Ministry of Educati<strong>on</strong> last May<br />

ordered five high school <strong>textbook</strong> publishers<br />

to delete references to the<br />

Japanese Imperial Army ordering<br />

Okinawans to use hand grenades to commit<br />

mass suicide, rather than surrender to<br />

invading American forces. Survivors of<br />

the 1945 Battle of Okinawa have l<strong>on</strong>g<br />

described the soldiers’ orders, particularly<br />

<strong>on</strong> Zamami Island. Japanese military<br />

officers <strong>on</strong> Okinawa during the battle<br />

have denied the charges.<br />

Port, gathering seaweed. They discovered<br />

no oxygen coming through their regulators<br />

and tried to signal a third man <strong>on</strong> the surface<br />

in a boat. The pair wanted to be<br />

pulled back aboard the boat, but officials<br />

say it appeared the friend didn’t notice the<br />

brothers’ plight.<br />

Authorities say the compressor had<br />

run out of gas. By the time the man <strong>on</strong> the<br />

surface refueled and started the engine,<br />

sending air below, it was too late for the<br />

older brother, who panicked and drowned.<br />

His younger brother brought him to the<br />

American Engineering<br />

tagged for tax evasi<strong>on</strong><br />

American Engineering Corporati<strong>on</strong>, a<br />

company heavily involved with c<strong>on</strong>tracts<br />

<strong>on</strong> U.S. military installati<strong>on</strong>s, has been<br />

charged by the Naha Prosecutors Office<br />

with c<strong>on</strong>cealing revenues to avoid paying<br />

corporate taxes.<br />

The Okinawa office of the Nati<strong>on</strong>al<br />

Tax Office, suspicious about the figures<br />

being reported by American Engineering<br />

over the past few years, launched an investigati<strong>on</strong><br />

and discovered major errors in the<br />

amount of sales being reported. Tax officials<br />

say declarati<strong>on</strong>s were suspiciously<br />

low, a move made to reduce the amount of<br />

taxes owed.<br />

The Tax Office says American<br />

Engineering under reported earnings by<br />

¥220 milli<strong>on</strong> over the past three years,<br />

leading the company to not pay any corporate<br />

taxes. American Engineering was<br />

ordered to pay a total of ¥330 milli<strong>on</strong>, a<br />

figure including penalties. American<br />

Engineering Corporati<strong>on</strong> has reportedly<br />

admitted to the tax evasi<strong>on</strong> charges.<br />

The Nati<strong>on</strong>al Tax Office filed its accusati<strong>on</strong><br />

against American Engineering with<br />

the Naha Prosecutors Office last April.<br />

The Prosecutors Office c<strong>on</strong>ducted its own<br />

investigati<strong>on</strong>, which led to the charges filed<br />

M<strong>on</strong>day.<br />

Cops searching for man<br />

puncturing car tires<br />

More than a dozen cars were attacked<br />

by an ice pick wielding man Sunday night,<br />

the sec<strong>on</strong>d series of attacks in less than two<br />

weeks, and Ginowan Police are looking for<br />

the culprit.<br />

Police say they’re looking for a man<br />

believed to be 50~60 years of age in c<strong>on</strong>necti<strong>on</strong><br />

with the tire puncturing of 15<br />

parked cars in a four-hour period late<br />

Sunday evening in the Futenma area. A<br />

car owner saw the man carrying an ice pick<br />

running away from the scene. He told<br />

investigators the man was “a little fat” and<br />

had short silver hair.<br />

Ginowan Police say another rash of<br />

tire puncturing took place January 11th and<br />

12th in the Nodake area, with 17 cars<br />

involved. They say the puncture marks in<br />

both series of attacks appear to be from the<br />

same type sharp object, which fits the<br />

descripti<strong>on</strong> of an ice pick.<br />

Leery Olympians turn to<br />

Japan for training camps<br />

Three countries have chosen Okinawa<br />

as the site for their pre-Olympic training<br />

camps, and twelve others have announced<br />

similar plans to train in Japan prior to the<br />

August Olympics in Beijing.<br />

England, Spain and Australia have<br />

already selected Ishigaki Island as the site<br />

for their training camps. They, al<strong>on</strong>g with<br />

numerous other countries, have expressed<br />

c<strong>on</strong>cerns about Beijing’s overcrowded c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s<br />

and polluted air, and opted to train<br />

in a better atmosphere. Some have also<br />

voiced worries about possible food pois<strong>on</strong>ing<br />

in Beijing.<br />

Greece, the United States, France,<br />

Finland, Sweden, Germany, Denmark,<br />

Holland, Poland, Bahrain, Ireland and New<br />

Zealand have already announced they will<br />

establish training camps in Japan. No sites<br />

have been selected yet.<br />

Okinawa is aggressively wooing the<br />

countries in hopes of attracting them to the<br />

prefecture. Officials are already predicting<br />

Okinawa will be the best and most popular<br />

spot for Olympic camps. Additi<strong>on</strong>al countries<br />

are also expected to choose Japan as<br />

summer training sites.<br />

Budgets, financial woes<br />

override peoples’ c<strong>on</strong>cerns<br />

Okinawa is feeling the pinch of government<br />

reform and decentralizati<strong>on</strong> as<br />

much as other prefectures, and few people<br />

are pleased with the cutbacks being<br />

imposed by former Prime Minister<br />

Junichiro Koizumi’s Trinity Reform Plan.<br />

A Ryukyu University professor who<br />

last year spearheaded a forum about the<br />

central government’s handling of the ec<strong>on</strong>omy<br />

and prefectural fiscal issues, says “the<br />

Japanese government is telling just the<br />

problem of financial situati<strong>on</strong>s changing,”<br />

and not taking into c<strong>on</strong>siderati<strong>on</strong> the needs<br />

of people. Professor Jun Shimabukuro<br />

says the problem is going to “make problems<br />

because the government doesn’t take<br />

the broad view of the situati<strong>on</strong>, like<br />

between peoples’ relati<strong>on</strong>s and trusting<br />

each other, the community c<strong>on</strong>sciousness,<br />

and social relati<strong>on</strong>s that are being<br />

destroyed here in Okinawa.”<br />

He says the focus is <strong>on</strong>ly <strong>on</strong> m<strong>on</strong>ey,<br />

pointing out that issues like moving<br />

Futenma Marine Corps Air Stati<strong>on</strong> to<br />

Henoko is polarizing the community,<br />

“<str<strong>on</strong>g>split</str<strong>on</strong>g>ting the residents into two groups of<br />

residents.” He says the questi<strong>on</strong> is how to<br />

get residents in the Henoko area trusting<br />

each other.<br />

Cars, foods blamed for<br />

Okinawa l<strong>on</strong>gevity decline<br />

Pundits are calling Okinawa’s declining<br />

l<strong>on</strong>gevity records the result of “the<br />

seducti<strong>on</strong> of car life making Okinawans fat<br />

and lazy.”<br />

Okinawa, <strong>on</strong>ce the epitomy of l<strong>on</strong>g<br />

life, has slipped in the ratings, and the prefecture<br />

has been tagged by some “The<br />

Island of corpulence”. Obesity is increasing,<br />

life expectancy dropping for both men<br />

and women, and exercise seems to be<br />

something locals fail to embrace.<br />

The automobile is being blamed for<br />

everything, as Okinawans drive everywhere<br />

instead of walking or using<br />

Okinawa’s imperfect public transportati<strong>on</strong><br />

system. Officials acknowledge that the<br />

lack of public transportati<strong>on</strong> makes it difficult<br />

for people to get home, particularly<br />

after l<strong>on</strong>g nights of eating and drinking.<br />

The Prefecture M<strong>on</strong>orail Secti<strong>on</strong> says<br />

the number of cars <strong>on</strong> Okinawa roadways<br />

is increasing at a rapid clip, by about 2.3%<br />

each year. Every family <strong>on</strong> Okinawa, it<br />

says, has at least <strong>on</strong>e car. People use cars<br />

even to go to the supermarket, researchers<br />

Policeman sending threats<br />

in text messages arrested<br />

The northern Okinawa woman was<br />

puzzled about dozens of messages received<br />

<strong>on</strong> her cellular ph<strong>on</strong>e saying “I will kill<br />

you. I’m going to settle the account with<br />

you.”<br />

After receiving nearly 60 such messages,<br />

and after she sent the unknown message<br />

sender her own messages saying<br />

“Please d<strong>on</strong>’t send mail to me”, she turned<br />

the matter—and her cell ph<strong>on</strong>e—over to<br />

Ishikawa Police to investigate. They did,<br />

and found the threatening messages were<br />

coming from their own police stati<strong>on</strong>.<br />

Police traced the caller’s cell ph<strong>on</strong>e to<br />

<strong>on</strong>e bel<strong>on</strong>ging to a 49-year-old police sergeant<br />

assigned to the Ishikawa Police<br />

Stati<strong>on</strong>. The officer has denied sending the<br />

calls to the woman, telling his superiors he<br />

doesn’t even know the woman. She, in<br />

turn, told police she doesn’t know the<br />

policeman, either.<br />

Investigators from the prefecture<br />

inspectors secti<strong>on</strong> c<strong>on</strong>firmed the calls did<br />

come from the policeman’s ph<strong>on</strong>e, and<br />

subsequent interrogati<strong>on</strong> revealed that he<br />

did send the messages, but to the wr<strong>on</strong>g<br />

pers<strong>on</strong>. He admitted he didn’t realize his<br />

friend had cancelled the cell ph<strong>on</strong>e number,<br />

and that the number had been reassigned<br />

to the lady who received his threats.<br />

Ishikawa Police arrested the police sergeant.<br />

“We are very sorry about this scandal,”<br />

a police inspector says. “We would<br />

like to apologize to the lady victim and to<br />

everybody.” The inspector said “We are<br />

str<strong>on</strong>gly advising our staff, telling them<br />

never again to do such a thing.” According<br />

to investigators, the sergeant began sending<br />

the messages last November after he didn’t<br />

receive answers to his calls to his lady<br />

friend.<br />

The bird has gained 100 grams, veterinarians<br />

fish a day. The her<strong>on</strong>’s still less than half<br />

the 2kg weight it should be, but doctors<br />

predict he’ll bounce back and so<strong>on</strong> be able<br />

to be released. Doctors say the bird had an<br />

irregular pulse and was tired when rescued,<br />

but there were no fish hooks or fishing line<br />

in the stomach.<br />

Soaring oil prices have pushed the Japanese government<br />

into an aggressive bio fuels producti<strong>on</strong><br />

program, with Okinawa at the hub of promoti<strong>on</strong>.<br />

Ryukyu Oil Company has been chosen as the test<br />

company for a five-year program to market bio fuels.<br />

The Ministry of Ec<strong>on</strong>omy, Trade and Industry has begun<br />

the test <strong>down</strong> to local fuel stati<strong>on</strong> levels, planning to<br />

install new pumps at 19 service stati<strong>on</strong>s in the coming<br />

several years to experiment with e3 gasoline. The<br />

Ministry has worked with NEDO, the institute of industrial<br />

mechanics’ development program, and earmarked ¥1.5<br />

billi<strong>on</strong> for the experiment.<br />

Bio fuels are produced using sugar cane being grown<br />

<strong>on</strong> Miyako Island since 2007. The e3 bio fuel is in competiti<strong>on</strong><br />

with oil wholesalers, who are promoting ETBE,<br />

another type of gasoline using a mixture of ethanol produced<br />

from raw materials other than sugar cane. The e3<br />

bio fuel is currently available at <strong>on</strong>ly four Okinawa locati<strong>on</strong>s.<br />

“Ryukyu Oil Company will use the budget from the<br />

government and set up a <strong>special</strong> e3 fuel filling corner at<br />

the 19 gas stati<strong>on</strong>s,” a ministry official says. “Ryukyu<br />

Oil has become the trustee because they want to studying<br />

the process in order to spread e3 fuel nati<strong>on</strong>wide.”<br />

Miyakojima City currently has a large scale bio<br />

ethanol work project in c<strong>on</strong>juncti<strong>on</strong> with the Ministry of<br />

Ec<strong>on</strong>omy, Trade and Industry. The Ministry of<br />

Envir<strong>on</strong>ment is also involved in the project.<br />

The bird was first spotted in early<br />

December near the Tomishiro port, fishing<br />

line and hooks wrapped around its bill. It<br />

could not eat, and the more the bird tried,<br />

the more tangled the fishing line became<br />

around its leg. Rescue <strong>special</strong>ists were<br />

called from Tokyo, joining local bird <strong>special</strong>ists<br />

and veterinarians in finally capturing<br />

the bird in the Manko wetlands.<br />

Motokazu Hoshi says “there are a lot<br />

of endangered species coming to Okinawa<br />

from other countries for the winter, and we<br />

fishing lovers must know about manners.”<br />

Hoshi is Okinawa branch chairman of the<br />

Japanese Fishing Promoti<strong>on</strong> Associati<strong>on</strong>,<br />

and his members are committed to “taking<br />

acti<strong>on</strong> and strengthening beach cleanup so<br />

we can protect birds and the envir<strong>on</strong>ment.”<br />

He says the associati<strong>on</strong> will make posters<br />

showing pictures of birds whose bills are<br />

fouled by fishing lines, reminding members<br />

never to leave fishing lines in the water or<br />

laying <strong>on</strong> the beach.<br />

The Fukuoka High Court’s Naha<br />

ordered it to pay the workers ¥47 milli<strong>on</strong><br />

overtime pay, plus another ¥17.3 milli<strong>on</strong><br />

Tree house provides Sayori<br />

Park plenty of fun for kids<br />

It’s a <strong>on</strong>e-of-a-kind, a tree house built<br />

just for youngsters. Children can scramble<br />

up the stairs into the house, or play<br />

<strong>on</strong> nets stretched across supports at Sayori<br />

Park. The park is not particularly large,<br />

but it has been designed as a perfect playground<br />

for kids. Filled with slides and<br />

twisting chutes, the net playground equipment,<br />

and even an animal seesaw, it’s a<br />

child’s delight.<br />

Older kids are not left out either, with<br />

facilities for baseball and basketball.<br />

Parents can sit in the shaded gazebos<br />

watching the scene, or looking across<br />

Awase Bay. There are rest room facilities<br />

in the park, although no parking.<br />

Sayori Park is reached by going<br />

straight from Kadena Air Base Gate 2,<br />

passing through the Takahara intersecti<strong>on</strong><br />

then c<strong>on</strong>tinuing until the San-A supermarket<br />

is <strong>on</strong> the left and a traffic light directly<br />

ahead. Turn left at the traffic light, c<strong>on</strong>tinue<br />

through three more traffic lights, then<br />

Okinawa Soba restaurant and a fishing<br />

goods store <strong>on</strong> the left. Pass them, then<br />

turn right and c<strong>on</strong>tinue to the end of the<br />

culminated with a rally involving more<br />

than 100,000 Okinawan leaders and ordinary<br />

citizens, demanding the Educati<strong>on</strong><br />

Ministry reverse its directive. More or less,<br />

it has, with the ministry telling <strong>textbook</strong><br />

publishers they could submit requests to<br />

revert back to original text. The publishers<br />

have already d<strong>on</strong>e that.<br />

Tsunehiro Iha, Chairman of the <str<strong>on</strong>g>LDP</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

Okinawa Chapter, says “this problem is<br />

insistently discussed by the executive committee,<br />

and if problems come up again, we<br />

will have to set up some kind of organizati<strong>on</strong><br />

again.” Toshinobu Nakazato disagrees.<br />

The chairman of the executive<br />

committee group says “If some people<br />

d<strong>on</strong>’t want to break up the committee, it<br />

must be decided by the executive committee<br />

members.”<br />

Insiders say people within the party<br />

are upset by the decisi<strong>on</strong>. They say “we<br />

need to fight until we are sure correcti<strong>on</strong>s<br />

to the <strong>textbook</strong> are true.” Rank and file<br />

party members say the party bosses are<br />

being dictatorial, since every<strong>on</strong>e is not satisfied<br />

Nakijin Castle<br />

C<strong>on</strong>tinued from page 1<br />

within the castle were the King and his<br />

family, supply centers and a security army.<br />

The multi-level castle was the largest castle<br />

of the early years of the Ryukyu<br />

Dynasty. Its st<strong>on</strong>e walls still stand, a site<br />

for visitors who transit the castle grounds<br />

daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.<br />

The Nakijin Village History and<br />

Culture Center is west of the ruins. A<br />

series of shrines built to h<strong>on</strong>or the gods are<br />

still standing, and a st<strong>on</strong>e paved road runs<br />

al<strong>on</strong>g the Hanta Trail surrounding the castle.<br />

Nakijin Castle is an active archeological<br />

excavati<strong>on</strong> site, with hundreds of artifacts<br />

c<strong>on</strong>tinuing to be discovered tracing<br />

King Haniji’s trade relati<strong>on</strong>ships with<br />

China and countries of Southeast Asia,<br />

including Vietnam.<br />

The castle was named a Nati<strong>on</strong>al<br />

Historic Site by the Ministry of Educati<strong>on</strong><br />

in 1972, and historians and archeologists<br />

pore through the grounds <strong>on</strong> a regular<br />

basis. The Kingdom of Hokuzan was<br />

heavily involved with Chinese trade, and<br />

Chinese pottery dating to the 13th century<br />

are still being uncovered. Vietnamese pottery<br />

supports historians’ theory Hokuzan<br />

dealt directly with Southeast Asia for<br />

spices, a treasured commodity in China<br />

during the time.<br />

it does not<br />

compare to<br />

Update <strong>on</strong> Thursday.<br />

Nakijin Castle and the Hokuzan<br />

Kingdom fell in 1416, when the central<br />

Okinawa Chuzan Kingdom attacked and<br />

overpowered the regi<strong>on</strong>. The Hokuzan<br />

Kingdom had survived for a century, but<br />

the str<strong>on</strong>ger forces of Chuzan King Hasi<br />

led King Haniji and his senior leaders to<br />

commit suicide.<br />

Absorbed into the Chuzan Kingdom,<br />

Nakijin Castle served as the kingdom’s<br />

northern outpost for more than 200 years,<br />

serving officials from Shuri. Its glory era<br />

ended in 1609, when Tokugawa Shogun<br />

ordered his regent back to Shuri, leaving<br />

Nakijin Castle an empty shell filled with<br />

ghosts and memories.<br />

Today, it’s alive with tourists celebrating<br />

beautiful sakura, the colorful pink cherry<br />

blossoms. The daily illuminati<strong>on</strong>s for<br />

the Cherry Blossom Festival run from 5:30<br />

p.m. to 9 p.m. February 2nd and 3rd are<br />

designated dancing days, with festival<br />

organizers setting a <strong>special</strong> stage for performing<br />

traditi<strong>on</strong>al s<strong>on</strong>g and dance.<br />

Admissi<strong>on</strong> fee is ¥300 for those under 18,<br />

and ¥400 for adults.<br />

Nakijin Castle is easy to reach. Travel<br />

north <strong>on</strong> Highway 58 toward Nago City.<br />

Inside the city, turn right, going northbound<br />

<strong>on</strong> Highway 72 to Nakijin Village.<br />

Once in the village, turn left <strong>on</strong>to Highway<br />

505 headed west. Travel three kilometers,<br />

then look for signs marking the route to the<br />

site.<br />

Restored parts of Nakijin castle walls are illunited with colorful lights during the first<br />

Nakijin Castle Cherry Blossom Festival.

Jan. 24, 2008 - Jan. 30, 2008<br />

Aries<br />

3.21~4.20<br />

Now is the time to get your stuff together, as<br />

the new task that you are going to face so<strong>on</strong><br />

requires that you have the whole picture of the<br />

situati<strong>on</strong> if you ever are going to be supported<br />

by your peers. In your love life you should be<br />

happy what you got and not dream about new<br />

adventures.<br />

Taurus<br />

4.21~5.21<br />

Do not agree with every<strong>on</strong>e else because you<br />

<strong>on</strong>ly want to stay in peace with everybody. You<br />

have every reas<strong>on</strong> to speak your mind as you<br />

are right. The time might be good for some gambling.<br />

You may meet a pers<strong>on</strong> who makes you<br />

dream, but do not let your feelings get better of<br />

your brain.<br />

Gemini<br />

5.22~6.21<br />

You need a str<strong>on</strong>g will do that you do not give<br />

up when the life presents some hardships in<br />

the near future. You will also be surprised that<br />

you get some extra m<strong>on</strong>ey that you had not<br />

expected. You also need some time for yourself.<br />

It would be a good idea to take some distance<br />

from your lover for a few days.<br />

Libra<br />

9.24~10.23<br />

You better to take a close look at what you are<br />

doing. Outside people could have more influence<br />

in your life than you are ready to admit.<br />

You have to make an important decisi<strong>on</strong><br />

before you rush to acti<strong>on</strong>. You seem to be at<br />

loss with your feeling and even get depressed.<br />

Remember you have friends.<br />

Scorpio<br />

10.24~11.22<br />

Take time to work <strong>on</strong> your problems. You can't<br />

force the soluti<strong>on</strong> before the time is right. There<br />

is quite a bit <strong>on</strong> stage with your finances, so<br />

d<strong>on</strong>'t rush to acti<strong>on</strong> before thinking thoroughly.<br />

You will be happy that you did afterwards. At<br />

this time, all the time that you d<strong>on</strong>'t use for love<br />

is wasted.<br />

Sagittarius<br />

11.23~12.22<br />

You feel that people put unreas<strong>on</strong>able<br />

demands <strong>on</strong> you, but you should not tolerate<br />

that kind of pressure. Luckily your ec<strong>on</strong>omical<br />

situati<strong>on</strong> is not a cause of worry in the near<br />

future. Your romantic life is heading for turmoil<br />

to say the least. You should try to calm <strong>down</strong><br />

and not go where the flow takes you.<br />

7 Japan Update Classifieds<br />

Cancer<br />

6.22~7.23<br />

If you paid a little more attenti<strong>on</strong> to the atmosphere<br />

in your workplace, the spirits of every<strong>on</strong>e<br />

would get uplift. There will be all kinds of offers<br />

that seem to be too good to be true, and they<br />

all are. There is quite a party in the horiz<strong>on</strong>, but<br />

d<strong>on</strong>'t plan too much. It's better to act sp<strong>on</strong>tan<br />

e o u s l y .<br />

Leo<br />

7.24~8.23<br />

It looks like you are about to clear a problem<br />

that has troubled you for quite a l<strong>on</strong>g time.<br />

That's a good reas<strong>on</strong> to feel like a winner. But<br />

do not take anything for granted. With your love<br />

life it would be better to pay more attenti<strong>on</strong> to<br />

your intimate relati<strong>on</strong>ship than to all small<br />

everyday worries.<br />

Virgo<br />

8.24~9.23<br />

Do not get stuck to all small details in your<br />

work. Instead, pay more attenti<strong>on</strong> to the big<br />

picture. That will also go <strong>down</strong> well with your<br />

colleagues. Although not everything goes as<br />

you had planned, there is not too much to<br />

worry about. Remember that the key to lasting<br />

happiness is mutual trust.<br />

Capricorn<br />

12.23~1.20<br />

At last it's the time to start the plan you have<br />

though about so l<strong>on</strong>g. After all, you have nothing<br />

to loose. Remember, the more you sweat<br />

the better the reward. Do not despair if everything<br />

in your love life does not work as you<br />

had planned. There are better things coming<br />

to your way in not too distant future.<br />

Aquarius<br />

1.21~2.19<br />

You have a tendency to create problems from<br />

nothing. Do not give up to the way of thinking<br />

that everything will go wr<strong>on</strong>g anyways. No<br />

time to gamble, you would <strong>on</strong>ly lose your<br />

m<strong>on</strong>ey. You have a problem in your romance,<br />

but it's no use to avoid the truth any l<strong>on</strong>ger.<br />

Straight talk is needed.<br />

Pisces<br />

2.20~3.20<br />

You need some help to get your plan started.<br />

You simply are not str<strong>on</strong>g enough by yourself at<br />

this time. Sometimes there is a price for a friendship.<br />

You will find out that very so<strong>on</strong>. You feel<br />

like you need some space around you, but your<br />

lover probably does not understand your desires.<br />
