By Amber Moonshade
 Aries (March 21 - April 19) : Those of you born under the planet Mars should expect this March to be very warm. But don’t let all that heat go to your head. Tempers as well as temperatures are expected to rise and there may be some clashing with those nearest and dearest to you. Try to channel this energy in to love instead of hate, especially during the middle of the month when Mars forms a devastating link with romantic Venus and passionate Pluto. By the end of March your energy levels will settle to a more constant and manageable pace, perfect for getting on top of any practical issues.
 Taurus (April 20 - May 20 ): If you were born under the planet Venus you’ll start the month very focused, wanting to be taken seriously. This will convince others, making this time perfect for dealing with all those official people in your life, like your boss. But things will soon lighten for you, an encounter with someone who “lights your candle” perhaps. Life will especially heaten when Venus teams up with fiery Mars and Pluto promising fireworks mid March. The situation will stay steamy, and by the end of March when Venus links with unpredictable Uranus you could find yourself acting in a way that surprises everyone, including you.
 Gemini (May 21 - June 20): As someone born under Mercury, you should be watching your money flow, no matter how dreary the task. It may feel as you are missing out of all the fun when all your friends make the best of the summer, but you will not regret being careful with your cash. Because when you're off on a bigger better holiday than everyone else you'll be glad. You can expect to feel the heat this summer in more ways than one. Mercury is involved in a dramatic link between some very interesting planets, Mars, Venus and Pluto. So soon you will find your love life reaching boiling point by mid March . Your intellect is sharp now, so use this by using the bits of information you have to your advantage.
 Cancer (June 21 - July 22 ): Born under the moon, you're full of life this month, but what exactly are you achieving from this? There's a chance you'll not be getting very much in return for all your gallant efforts. This may be frustrating but a bright idea at the end of the month will help you find a solution. You're likely to feel hot and bothered this March , but try not to let the sun go your head. Just remember that keeping call means keeping calm. The best advice for you is avoid mid day burn out and instead make the most of warm balmy nights which is much more your style. Evenings are your time so get plenty of siestas in order to make the most of those midnight fiestas.
 Leo (July 23 - August 22 ): Born under the Sun, March sees you at your most charming. Smooth talk comes easily and you're quite happy to use it on any unsuspecting individual you take a shine to. You adore attention and there's no shortage this month, but you're generous with praise too and people will love to bask in the warm glow you're emitting. It'll leave you walking on cloud nine and everyone is going to know about it! You're in for some summer sizzle this March with an equally fiery partner and there could be a connection with foreign places too. Perhaps a holiday romance or a romantic interlude with someone from abroad is on the cards. Either way you're in for a good time.
 Virgo (August 23 - September 22): Be warned, as someone born under Mercury, strong undercurrents from other people are making you feel a little on edge. It seems everyone's behaving oddly as though the sun's gone to their heads. Even you're acting a bit out of character. However you should be able to smooth over any brewing trouble with soothing words that just roll off the tongue. Those dulcet tones could prove very useful in March when someone special is seduced by your pleasing manner. But charm disguises a burning inside which is demanding release. You can easily deliver on the passionate promises you utter. There's no escaping when you switch on the charm offensive.
 Libra (September 23 - October 22): You're determined to set the world on fire in March . You're feeling hot and ready to take the plunge with someone special. The passion and ferocity of Mars and Pluto join up with your ruler Venus this month giving you the power to set pulses racing. No one will be able to resist your confidence. This is an important month in an important year for you. With expansive Jupiter in your sign (it only happens once every twelve years) it's time for you to make the most of each opportunity that comes your way. Expect to be seeing more of the world and letting the world see more of you.
 Scorpio (October 23 - November 21): A powerful and meaningful connection with someone is on the cards, whether you know them or not already. Your ruler Pluto in harmony with Mars and Venus means love and passion in equal measures. You're a force to be reckoned with and when you set your sights on your ideal partner there will be no stopping you getting them, whether they like it or not! I doubt anyone would argue with you even if they could, it's a huge ego boost to be so utterly adored. You may also be tempted to take a big financial risk this month, but practice caution if you can because there's no guarantee of a settled outcome.
 Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21): You're feeling wonderfully energized as the month starts, leaving others in your wake as you bounce from one task to another. Watch out for ego clashes with other strong personalities who want the limelight too. Mid March sees you embroiled in heated exchanges with individuals for whom you can barely disguise your passion. Pluto in your sign harmoniously connected with Mars and Venus sends your pulse racing and your mind conjuring up all sorts of thrilling escapades for yourself and your amour. You are a born traveler and philanthropist and now is a great time to in indulge both of these.
 Capricorn (December 22 - January 19 ): The month begins with a feeling of harmony and balance and you are feeling a bit more confident about your financial circumstances. You feel at ease expressing your deeper feelings to loved ones too. However as the month moves forward the possibility of some tension between your work and domestic life increases, but any challenges you face could be a positive way of clearing the air and therefore making progress in both these areas. If the tension in the air does boil over you can be consoled by the fact that it's all a storm in a tea cup and will settle soon.
 Aquarius (January 20 - February 18 ): With Uranus in your sign, arguments with siblings, close friends and partners are possible this month and any trouble that does occur could simple be little more than hot air and bravado from all parties concerned. Day to day activities and getting about your normal routine, things you normally take for granted, could be fraught with complications and upsets in March. Try not to be everywhere at once or race about trying to achieve too many things; no one is expecting miracles so stop trying to perform them. Relationships have taken a serious turn recently, and this will become a focus of the month, but you should start seeing the situation more clearly.
 Pisces (February 19 - March 20): For those of you under Neptune, March is a good month to pour your energy into sorting out money matters and embarking on schemes that will see your cash working harder for you. Thinking of all the adventures you could soon afford to go on will be more than enough of an incentive to get wise with your dough - money equals freedom for you this month. Be careful not to fall for the charms of sweet talkers who aren't exactly what they are making themselves out to be. Overall you can expect to be putting in a lot of effort this month and working hard in a lot of areas in your life but things will settle down toward the end of March.

4 ╰☆╮╰☆╮╰☆╮╰☆╮╰☆╮╰☆╮╰☆╮╰☆╮╰☆╮ Ask the Elf! ~~~~~~
Dear Ask the Elf
I am a squib, my whole family are magykal and use it constantly, even my 2 month baby brother
can do a little magyk with just thought, it has been explained to me that i have the uncommon
recessive non-magykal gene. But this doesn’t make being what i am any easier.
Please do you know anything that can help me?
-Regalda Filch
Dear Mistress Regalda
I am sorry to hear about your problem, but i do have a few solutions worth trying. There are wands made especially
for non-magykal beings such as yourself, also you don't need magykal abilities to use and make potions. There has
also been a strong rumour that due to a magykal breakthrough in science, a potion has been concocted to arrange and
change your DNA and thus your genes, this could possibly work for you.
But in saying this, squibs are something to be
proud of you are rare, so this makes you important, there are some great squibs in magykal history, included in research,
potions and health. So I bid you good luck.
Regards
your humble house Elf
~~~~~~
The Queen Lana

5 ╰☆╮╰☆╮╰☆╮╰☆╮╰☆╮╰☆╮╰☆╮╰☆╮╰☆╮ Trouble in the Kitchen Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins Makes 20-243 cups all purpose flour 1 1/3 cups sugar (baker's/caster sugar if possible) 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 4 mashed ripe bananas (just under 2 cups when mashed) 1/2 cup sour cream 3 large eggs 1 cup unsalted butter, melted 1/2 cup milk 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 teaspoon allspice 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (I just use one bag; use however much you like. The really tiny chocolate chips work best.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two muffin tins with paper or foil liners. Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl, except chocolate chips. (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, spices) Combine all wet ingredients in another bowl. (bananas, sour cream, milk, eggs, butter, vanilla) Add wet banana mixture to dry ingredients. Stir until almost combined. Add the chocolate chips and stir until just combined. DO NOT OVERMIX. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into center comes out with melted chocolate but no crumbs. Enjoy! Note: They may stick to muffin cups when warm.

6 ╰☆╮╰☆╮╰☆╮╰☆╮╰☆╮╰☆╮╰☆╮╰☆╮╰☆╮ Around HPGoG So let's see what's going on around HPGoG. First of all, to those who took the Wand quiz since regular sorting for this term, your wands are now in! Secondly, the event has started, and we all have Oshenukhar from Gryffindor to thank. Now we have a Valentine's Event! Hooray! In other news, classes are closing! You had better get all your homework in before it's too late! And there are such things as class work... either way, if you want to win the House Cup for your house, finish your classes on a good note before the results are in! And that's pretty much it.
