Healthy living

I hadn't looked at this astrologer for a few days so was astonished when I looked up the prediction for the week that had started last Friday:

The Sun changes signs this weekend too - throwing the spotlight on your tendency to burn the candle at both ends and, perhaps, not look after yourself well enough. Someone who clearly does that and is almost fetishist about eating and living well could be your best guide. Actually, it's possible they're already so attracted to you that they'll draw you into their circle

I'm in a new relationship; she really does the healthy living thing well and was coaching me on making sure I take more time off.

Well, well. Bull's eye hit I'd say.

Career October 2010 - updated and posted 5th March 2011

I've just discovered forecasts that I made in October, and set aside to see if they come up trumps or not. Here they were:

Extracts from forecast 1:

Your career will be on fire this month, too. A source of income may show up or change on October 12 due to the Sun moving over a mathematical degree of the eclipse of last July 11. October 20 should be fantastically exciting too, for Mars will reach out to Jupiter in your house of fame, and you may get a shot of publicity or a wonderful offer that proves to be quite prestigious. More happy career surprises are due over October 22-25 - news will come out of the blue and light you up brilliantly! Apparently you will have that certain something that everyone is clamoring to get - expertise, goods, or services. This is not the month to hide in your apartment!

Forecast 2:

Your ruler shifts into the hardest-working angle of your chart on Thursday. Maybe not thrilling news, but certainly useful. Over the next three weeks you'll see huge progress in your career

What happened? In the last week of October I got a 3 month consulting engagement, that led (so far) so a further month's consulting. So not huge career development nor (yet) the start of something massive, but definite improvement in my professional life.

Spot on

"October 3 is due to be a banner day for love."

Absolutely right. Big banner day.

If we bear in mind that this big banner day has, in retrospect, been building up for a month, this makes the prediction look good that August and September would be great months for romance (see below).

Here is another astrologer's forecast of the same weekend, also correct:

. . . at least one person is likely to be charmed by you - and your ability to relate to a situation they're presently coping with. It's possible that this is a long term friendship in the making.

However the "family snarl" hasn't been sorted out (see 2 below) so must be counted a miss.
