Some piece of popular culture is about to profoundly affect an opinion or a habit this month - it looks a bit like a hamburger in a bread bun with a piece of cucumber, or is that pickled gherkin, your chart is a bit blurry...

'Hello', 'How are you?', 'Howdy doody doo' and 'Welcome, stranger, into my home please take off your shoes,' are all well starred greeting styles this month in any nocturnal or candle lit situations.

This month your destiny has a taste for pineapple.
