Here at Nixco the summer holidays have definitely started, so we asked our local scryer, Old Nick to consult his ball and advise us horoscopically where to go.


LEO July 22 - August 21
A safari. Leo males traditionally lie around sated for hours at a time in the sun, Leo females traditionally kill game animals and feed the kids. C'est la vie - don't knock it. Can't afford a safari? then come to Colwyn Bay Mountain Zoo.http://www.welshmountainzoo.org/new/home.htm

VIRGO August22 - September 21 Another quiet year for Virgos. I think a gentle water-colouring holiday will suit the average virgo. Llanidloes is nice and very handy for the Laura Ashley Factory Shop.http://www.llanidloes.com/

LIBRA September 22 - October 22 The stars tell me that Libra will enjoy a musical holiday this year, you've missed the Eistedffodd at Llangollen but there's still Llandrindod Wells Victorian Festival! http://www.victorianfestival.co.uk/

SCORPIO October 23 - November 21 The Scorpion has ten legs to deal with, rather like Line Dancing, and you can find all you need for Line Dancing at Hooked on Country in the town of Amlwch on the beautiful HOLIDAY Isle of Anglesey.http://homepages.tesco.net/~hookedoncountry/

SAGITTARIUS November 22 - December 20A centaur with a bow. Well even old Nick can't turn you into a centaur for a week (though there are several in Harry Potter ("Dull, dull, dull." Another unbiased reviewer)), but he can recommend the next best thing, Yes a pony trekking holiday in the Beautiful Black Mountains.http://www.transwales.demon.co.uk/

CAPRICORN December 21 - January 19The seagoat. Wales is the Ideal place for you with its spectacular coast and rugged mountains. Swim or scale it's your choice Capricorn, or combine the two in delightful Pembrokeshire.http://www.pembrokeshirecoast.org.uk/

AQUARIUS January 20 - February 18 While some Aquarians are decidedly wet, you are willing to try all forms of liquid, so why not try some delicious Welsh wine from Worthenburys while you relax in the delightful industrial setting of Wrexham!http://www.worthenburywines.co.uk/

PISCES February 19 - March 19 The fish in the sign of Pisces swim in opposite directions signifying internal conflict, why not lay the buggers to rest during a delightful spa break in the lovely Welsh countryside. Though I'm not too sure about the thermotherapy, no it'll be lovely you'll see (well you won't hear, certainly).http://www.escape2001.co.uk/

ARIES March 20 - April 18Aries is the sign of the ram and we all know what the ram is don't we children, it's a sheep, and where better to hang around with your ovine cousins than on a farm holiday in agricultural - Wales!http://www.croeso-betws.org.uk/acc/bb/tyddyndu.htm

TAURUS April 19 - May 19Spain! Espana! Sun! Flamenco! Sangria! Sounds fab, not a great place for bulls though! Taurus will be much better off touring varied South West Wales and visiting their "Older Brothers" at the many and fascinating Agricultural Shows.http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/southwest/sites/shows/pages/pembrokeshire.shtml

GEMINI May 20 - June 20Gemini, your twin aspect always makes you unsure of yourself and others. Old Nick recommends that you get away with that "good friend".What better way to get to know someone than to share a room in one of Wales plethora of B&B's, who knows you may progress from those "Twinbeds" to a double !http://www.britainsfinest.co.uk/bedandbreakfast/search_results.cfm

CANCER June 21 - July 21Crabs like you love the seaside and with well over 80 miles of coastline, what better place than Cardigan Bay. You can even fish for some of your crustacean buddies or indulge in some guilt-free cannibalism. http://tourism.ceredigion.gov.uk/saesneg/beaches.htm
