Do I believe in astrology? No, not as a scientist, but as a writer it

completely fails to get anywhere near :-)

The difficulty is when 1/12 of all Sun readers will meet the love of
their life all on the same day.

I had a thought many years ago, I don't believe in the *premise* of
astrology but I do seem to get on better and worse with certain signs.

"Hi! What sign are you?" "Virgo with penis rising!"

What's actually happening? The stars are acting as a clock and the
factors influencing behaviour may be things like daylength when you
were born and first experienced the world, the accompanying weather,
temperature etc.

So wishing you and all on asd a seasonally jovial Winter Solstice and
a mercurial Spring Equinox :-)

And may the Spirit of the All be with you all.
