Astrology. It's been going for thousands of years. Based on ancient drawings using stars in the sky. Based on twelve (not thirteen or eleven) divisions of the sky. Clearly based on science and common sense. Do you detect a hint or scepticism here from your scribe? You may well be right, but, wait a minute, just read this from a YOUR STARS page in a magazine:

Your career's on the up, and a business agreement will be to your advantage. There's a lot of luck in your chart, so keep your eyes open for opportunities. You'll be bursting with bright ideas of all shapes and sizes, and you'll be in one of those moods where you refuse to take no for an answer. It's a fine week to settle long-standing disputes.

Sounds pretty good, eh? How can you doubt that this is based on meticulous, scientific research? I must confess, though, that whenever I read my stars, I always read the predictions for a star sign other than mine, and I'm never disappointed. It always works. There must be something in it.

By the way, the prediction quoted above is actually an amalgamation of predictions for six different star signs.

Seems to work, too. (Calls cost 75p per minute and last about three minutes.)
