No wonder the NHS is in trouble if they're blowing the budget on coloured casts! I'd go for blue

Think I will.

I've been approached to pitch for a 32 page annual report which would earn up to £7500 (or thereabouts) for 3 months work. Also over the weekend I was told that I have been recommended to do some design work for a group of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) businesses in the States.

Don't shout at me for revealing this but there's an astrology site I visit from time to time. With money being such an issue this month I just decided to see what it forecast for August.

"Once you get to August 18, you will have a super day for money. You may be able to sell a creative idea to a client. You may need an agent to help you, as Mars is in your seventh house, giving a collaborator a dominant role in your life now."

Interestingly the pitch for that annual report closes on August 16 and the opportunity came via a third party. Is it an omen?

Have you found out if it's equally relevant to every other person with your starsign? (Not shouting, congratulations!)

Ha! Well I don't live by astrology but I'll take a look if I'm passing. This particular site is one that has been pretty accurate for me over the years but often that's retrospectively - I certainly don't wait to see the latest forecast and I'll only think about it if something specific is happening in my life.

I'm sensible enough to realise that I'm sharing a forecast with half a billion others so I can't let it hold too much sway - it's still kinda interesting tho'.

What is this website? How did you come to find it? I always think of that Douglas Adams character who had a mate who wrote horoscopes for the paper and would write things like 'you'll die next thursday' just to wind him up. Secret suspicion that's what they all do

It was referred to me about 5 or 6 years ago by a friend and it's the only one I look at. I do occasionally look at them in the paper if I open it on that page but as I said, I certainly don't search them out.

Maybe it is hogwash but I don't really care. In a strange way it focuses the mind and subconsciously it could direct your actions that way. It's almost as if I want to work that bit harder at that pitch to try and make the prediction come true which is bonkers, I know.

No.

I'm a typical Capricorn, I don't believe in astrology.

I thought you were a Pisces?

or atleast drink like one.

Capricorn FTW!

I was supposed to be Aries but was born prematurely and ended up a Piscy. I often wonder how my life would have turned out if I'd popped out in April like I should.

You'd be younger than you are.
