After last month's eating and drinking binges, caused by an interplanetary conjunction of no name that attempted to make you fat, the only option this month seems to be to listen to Mars, who says its time to take a breather. Mars, the planet, advises you should eat and drink modestly, and try to lose that extra poundage as there is considerable risk of running, jumping and hiding hazards just around the corner.

Items previously considered to be lucky will stop being lucky this month, and items previously thought to be unlucky will grow in unluckiness, taking on a profound sinisterness that even Vincent Price and Christopher Lee would find difficult to understand.

Hearty laughter may help you handle your destiny this month...
