Dear David,
No. It is, though, surely bad luck to worry about whether something is bad luck! What, once, we called superstition, we today call obsessive/compulsive behaviour. There’s a lot of it about. All over the world, people seemingly love to invent intolerant deities and imbue them with pernickety preferences. The gods themselves, though, are surely far too high and enlightened to care where we put our new shoes, which ladders we walk under or how many mirrors we break.

Dear Cindy, I'm sure that any day is a good day for a moment of quiet meditation.I can't help but wonder though, whether those scientists might be better off looking for peace in their hearts, rather than in their computers!

Dear Sheila,
Talents and areas of fascination are usually quite easy to identify in a full date-and-time-of-birth chart. Just because we’re good at one thing though, doesn’t mean we can’t learn to be good at a hundred more. Arguably, people like you who are willing to allow themselves the freedom to chop, change and experiment are very wise and mature. There’s nothing ‘grown up’ about only having narrow aspirations.
