"Oh, it's you!", "Howdy doodie brother", "Welcome into my home, friend", but not "Hello" are your lucky terms of greeting this month. The double kiss on both cheeks greeting, favored in Russia, continues to be badly starred until the 18th at 5:36pm.

Trotting, a slow canter, but not wild gallops, should be chosen in all of your horse riding needs.

Reading by candlelight has never been better starred than from the 6th of the month. Then the order is: reading by moonlight, then by gaslight, and only then by electric light. iPad readers are unaffected by this which is just another reason for them to feel smug about themselves.

This month your destiny growls like an angry owl.
