Philosophy will continue to have a profound effect on your life in the coming month and your search for even more esoteric ideas from increasingly unruly-haired philosophers will be greeted with fulfilled coos of happiness at times, especially after 8pm on the 17th.

Dogs will present difficulties this month, and you may find that your standard 'tickle them under the chin' attempts at ingratiation will fail spectacularly, or at least fail to the extent that you would consider yourself mad to even think about trying it again. Remember that dogs can sense fear, people can smell it, adjust your body deodorizing policy accordingly.

This month your destiny wears the hat of a rich lady at the races.
