Please note the above image is a likeness of the image presented in the Whitby This Week and is not Opal
“Opal is a domestic short-haired female approximately 2 years old. She gets along well with other cats and likes to play with toys. She likes to cuddle and would be a good addition to a family with kids.
For information on how to adopt Opal or any other cat up for adoption at Oshawa Animal Services by calling 905 436 3311″
There are many cats looking for a forever home, and some who cannot get adopted out will be euthanized. However, owning a pet is a long-term responsible commitment, there are costs involved such as litter and food, annual vet exams and vaccinations and unexpected emergencies..Pet insurance is available at varied rates, as is creating a savings account for pet expenses. As cats age some can become a lot work, or develop health issues, it suggested, that any who consider adding a furry four legged animal member into the clan remembers they are doing so for (hopefully) many years to come.
To find out which shelter near you has cats for adoption, please search June adopt a cat month durham region.

In astrology, the moon is connected to our emotions and reactions… how we are feeling on a given day may well be influenced by the sign that is visiting the moon… Each sign stays with the moon for up to 2.5 days…. :)
The Moon Void-off-Course:
There are times throughout the month when the moon isn’t fully immersed in any sign… this is when we say the moon is Void off Course… and when this occurs, we may feel “foggy” and “unfocused” … We may not be sure how we are truly feeling about a situation or a person…. Therefore it is not recommended that we make long-term commitments or important decision’s while the moon is Void off Course…. However there are 4 signs in the zodiac which may prove positive during the Void-off-Course moon…
Good for Void-Off-Course Moon:
These v/c signs may prove to be quite productive times.
Cancer
Taurus
Sagittarius
Pisces…
Opportunity Periods (thanks to astrologer Jim Shawvan):
There are other periods throughout the month that are known as opportunity periods, when it can prove to be a positive time for most people, however if you have challenging aspects happening within your own chart you may not be able to make use of opportunity periods.
Thanks to Jim Shawvan present day astrologer, William Lilly 17th century astrologer and Llewellyn’s Daily Planetary Guide for opportunity periods.
Void-off-Course: June 13 2015 @ 6:06 pm (ET) 3:06 pm (PT) to June 14 2015 @ 1:51 pm (ET) 10:51 am (PT): Moon in Taurus v/c is one of the 4 “good signs”
House(s): 8th: 8th house of shared money matters, official financial dealings and desires.
Opportunity Period: June 13 @ 6:07 pm (ET) 3:07 pm (PT): A fabulous time for dancing and love making…;)
What does it all mean?
Taurus needs emotional and material security, so we may find we are more interested in our financial affairs.
This may prove to be a good time to make investments for the future or to begin plans for the next financially responsible phase.
Taurus has lots of patience, indicating this could be a good time to deal with people/projects/situations that take up more time than is liked.
Things that give us pleasure, such as comfort foods, wine, relaxing, good music and giving/receiving “loving’s” are all things we may enjoy right now
Some of us may be feeling more frugal than usual, preferring to save our funds instead of spend it.
Take your time when the moon is in this sign, there is no need to hurry, and you probably won’t get very far if you do… so sit back and enjoy the ride… :)
In the 8th house: Taxes, insurance and estate planning may be in the works, and some may benefit from an inheritance under this moon. Our emotions are intense now, but it’s best to hold them down if we can, as we may jump to conclusions or assume things we shouldn’t. We could also be prompted to share our deepest secrets, be sure you are sharing the right ones with the right people. This is a good time for folk who have been wanting to make positive changes, if you are feeling stronger on every level you are encouraged to go for the change.
Keep your temper under check if you can, Taurus is very, very patient and it takes a lot to make her angry, but watch out once she has had enough, she will certainly let you know..
This moon sign will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts. Those with strong Libra and Scorpio placements in their charts will also be effected.

Hugh Jackman: Dukale’s Dream
Hugh Jackman: Dukale’s Dream
“Dukale’s Dream is a truly inspiring documentary that uses an everyday product to really send a message…” Eli Ralston, Reel Deal
Hugh Jackman is an Academy Award® nominated, Golden Globe and Tony Award winning actor. From his turn on Broadway as the 1970’s singer/songwriter Peter Allen, to his metal claw-wielding Wolverine in the X-MEN franchise, Hugh Jackman has proven to be one of the most versatile actors of our time. In addition to his acting work, Hugh Jackman serves as an ambassador for World Vision Australia. In 1999, he traveled to Ethiopia to visit a community development Project and met a young coffee farmer named Dukale, working to lift his family out of poverty. Inspired by Dukale’s story, Hugh Jackman launched Laughing Man Coffee in 2011 to provide a marketplace for farmers in developing countries to sell their goods to consumers in the U.S.
As part of his ongoing commitment, Hugh Jackman contributes 100% of his profits to the Laughing Man Foundation, which he created to support educational programs, community development and social entrepreneurs around the world.
DUKALE’S DREAM a feature length documentary by Josh Rothstein about Hugh Jackman’s unlikely friendship with an Ethiopian coffee farmer named Dukale, who had grown up in poverty and was deprived of an education.
After working on Dukale’s farm, Hugh Jackman realized that something as simple as a cup of coffee could have a profound impact on global poverty. Hugh Jackman was so inspired by what he learned from Dukale that he made a promise to him and his family, sending him on a life-changing journey.
During an interview with Anderson Cooper, Hugh Jackman spoke about his experience in Ethiopia and how it was an all-around awakening experience. Hugh Jackman, an actor most famously known as Wolverine in the X-Men saga, during a trip to Ethiopia as an ambassador for World Vision Australia, along with his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, discover the personal trials of a small community of Coffee growers in the Yirgacheffe region.
In the same interview, Hugh Jackman mentions the Paul Newman entrepreneurial Model, which is a new wave of Humanitarian entrepreneurship, and a different way to bring help and to develop poor communities around the world through a more transparent, conscious and sustainable way; under the banner of Fair Trade exchange and transactions.

Void-off-Course: June 11@ 7:43 pm (ET) 4:43 pm (PT) to June 12 @ 10:16 am (ET) 7:16 am (PT): Moon v/c in Aries is not one of the 4 “good signs” Make sure you get all the facts before making any commitments..
House(s): 7th: 7th house of relationships.
Opportunity Period: None
What does it all mean?
Aries is action, he is the most masculine of the Zodiac signs as he is ruled by the planet Mars
We should have slightly more get up and go when the moon is in Aries
We are happy to defend our loved ones
We are apt to speak up more, even those of us who consider themselves to be “timid” can find the voice they need right now.
May be a good time to get your message across or to ask for what you need
Be careful when driving especially when upset or angry
We may be more susceptible to head injuries or head aches
We could be eager to start projects now, however, we have just experienced a full moon, (time to finish up) so if you really want to start something now, choose something small… :)
Be careful about while engaging in physical activities, we may feel stronger or more “heroic” at the moment but our bodies might not be in the same “zone” :)
We may be more decisive than usual, as always use caution …
Be careful about saying yes to everything right now, we might feel like we can handle more, but when the time comes we could be sorry we took on so much at once.
Being healthy and feeling good so we can help others, or at the very least get our chores done may be on the agenda for the next few days.
In the 6th house: Being of service to others may come easier than usual, some of us may actually enjoy it. work can be more fulfilling but take care not to take on too much at once. We may find time spent with our pets more relaxing. If you are feeling stressed, go out for a nice relaxing walk, it will ease your mind and it’s good for the body too.
In the 7th house: The desire for harmony in our relationship is strong, so take care who you chose as your alliances, both in your personal and business world. Being in comfortable surroundings with soft lights and colors is an easy way to de-stress and chill out.
Adults with a strong mars or Aries influence may be acting more like children than adults.
Some of us could be more insensitive or appear more selfish to others.
If you aren’t looking to enlarge your family right now, take care, Aries has a lot of sexual energy to utilize… ;)
The Moon in Aries will have a slight effect on all of us, but it will have more of an effect on those who have the following in their charts: Along with those who have a strong Virgo or Libra placement in their charts
