You will be strangely drawn to cous cous this month after studying an African cookery book which you seemingly accidentally found open. This is in fact a direct consequence of a disagreement between Mercury and Mars, who are no longer on speaking terms. Remember not to boil cous cous, as, in some circumstances, it can expand to over 3000 times its starting volume and thus lead to the flattening of your neighborhood in a 'Return of the Blob' kind of way.

On finding a coin this month, the planets will put through your mind the thought that using this coin to buy a lottery ticket will be lucky. You won't win anything, but the owner of the shop who sold you the ticket is using the commission he earns from this lottery ticket sale to put towards a deposit on his first yacht which he will name 'Lucky'.
