Sport has this amazing power to attract the masses and bring them together under the colours of their country, to arouse strong feelings and encourage the fraternity. For these reasons, many people watch the matches at this tournament with a beer in a bar, at home with some friends or in the stadium.

Julien Dupuy, one of the stars of the French team can not play because he is sanctioned for injuring Stephen Ferris, the third-line player of the Ulster team in the Heineken Cup in December. Julien Dupuy may not play again until 27th May.

All the other players are preparing for the glory. The trophy, awarded to the winning team is a cup made of more than five kilos of sterling silver that can hold exactly five bottles of champagne. It has a specially designed edge for drinking without any problems.

Sometimes it seems to be that we are some kind of main protagonist in a typical Hollywood movie: different love stories, drama, tragedy, you´re happy and sad at the same time, and you can´t stopp searching for the right answer in your life. And then they´re also talking about this big, terrific and frightening feeling: the soulmates. But do they really exist or do we just invent something pretending to have found the right thing in life?

The contact to other people and the searching for the CORRECT person seem to be the most important lifelong tasks of everyone. We meet persons where we feel in the first moment a kind of hate, little or normal sympathy or this kind of person where you only can say “wow” and you feel deeply connected to that someone. The most curious thing is that you can´t even explain this feeling and certainly not if you know this person for only some minutes. This strong connection to someone can be considered more than to win the lotterly. To be understood without many words, to let yourself flow without being afraid of being rejected, or just to enjoy together the silence where you can read the others mind just looking at her or his face. Just to be as you are, this sounds too good to be real, right?

You really can break your head thinking about this feeling. And what about you? Have you already found a kind of soulmate? In this context It’s also very interesting to reflect about the relation to destiny or coincidences. Is it predicted in life to find your soulmate or is it pure coincidence to have met the right person? Or is it our instinct leading us to this special person? Millions of questions to which everyone has his or her special and personal opinion and experience.

And when you really have found your soulmate, does this automatically mean that you can have the perfect love partnership with that person? This is as well a very delicate topic. Depending on each situation and characters, those relationships will go very well or not. The strange thing is that this feeling of being deeply connected can change with being partners because we suddenly behave in a different way. God knows why! We human beings can be so stupid sometimes, because changing the behaviour just because of being together is big nonsense. Why don´t we just enjoy the moments and stop thinking about million of things? Women are mainly known to be the best in racking their brains over the never-ending fears.

The most important thing in life is very simple: you always should be loyal to yourself and keep your eyes open. With this positive attitude you will go with a big smile through the complicated life. To spend some holidays in a nice place, is surely the best way of enjoying life. What about some days in the breathtaking eternal city? Rent the best apartments in Rome and spend a comfortable and economic stay in the “open-air musem”.

It is said that Diana or Selene, (the goddess of the moon) strongly influences the menstrual cycle, the tides, markets, fisheries, agriculture, moods and many other things. Since ancient times an analogy has been established between the lunar cycle and several events of everyday life. Do astral energies have something to do with human and animal nature?

In the world everything works under the forces of revolution: everything moves at a fixed rate. One of the most famous stories is the one related to the phases of the menstrual cycle, corresponding to a phase of the lunar cycle, in perfect agreement with the average of 28 days (28 days x 13 = 364 days = 1 year approximately).

We can symbolize each phase of the moon with a mood or certain capacities of a woman. And instead of drawing a heart or a star to remember when you have your period, why not draw a small moon!

• The first moon is the new one, the stage of birth when there is no rule or the beginning. It is the awakening of adolescence whose wisdom is growing like a flower.
• The crescent moon is when the woman ovulates, the phase of the mother with the power of creation. It provides protection to others, and it is the maternal love that fills the heart.
• The third is the full moon, the sorceress stage when the ovule is released and the woman becomes beautiful and has a strong sexual power. She knows how to seduce and how to call attention.
• The last one, the waning moon, is represented by the witch and a certain ugliness because it’s when the woman has the period, and she wants to hide behind a mask.

Is this coincidence or influence? The moon is a mystery to everyone. It also establishes a relationship with the tidal cycle, the crime rate, fertilization periods, feeding and moulting of certain animals.

But the myths about the moon arouse much controversy: it is said that man never stepped foot on the moon. We say “Monday” because we associated the first day of the week with the moon or moon day.

The moon has inspired countless songs, poems, paintings and legends. Its symbolism often evokes fertility, peace, tranquillity, as the sea and its opposite, the Sun, the male star.
