Rory

Here is another test that occurred to me as I watched Rory McIlroy win the US Open between 16th and 19th June, playing all by himself while everyone else struggled (or so it seemed). Rory's birthday is on the 4th May which makes him right in the centre of Taurus without any of those pesky cusps. What is June's prediction for Taurus?

Mars in Taurus from June 1 to 19 will give you an extraordinary edge in any competition or negotiation. Plan your most important actions for that period.

Note that this is an unambiguous and unqualified prediction of the sort that I'm trying to test - none of the perhapses that appear to dominate horoscopes.

A little spooky, really.

Brave astrologer - fifth review

Nothing much happened on the 9th or 12th June of any significance. Happy enough days and on the 12th I was happier than for the previous week, but not the kind of thing you expect when you read "significant, action-packed days". So 0 points for both.

Happy New Year - and a slightly different forecast for this first day of 2011. Every sign has a ruling planet (yours is Mercury). The days when the Sun makes a special aspect to this planet are worth ringing in your diary. They are likely to be significant, action-packed days for those of your sign. So, ring the following dates on your calendar or diary and at the end of the year let's see what happened. Your dates are : Jan 10th, Feb 25th, March 1 and 13, April 9 and 12, June 9, 12 and 28, August 17 and 22, September 26 and 28, Oct 2, Dec 2 and 4
