Your Horoscope

PM Johnson's speech yesterday re. the corona virus pandemic reminded me of this poem that I wrote years ago. It was the bit where he told us all to expect relatives to die.

Your Horoscope

Money, work,  moving house, babies, romance,

love, friendship, children, pets, hospitals. Some

of  you will be diagnosed with cancer today.

Everything will be all right. Sun signs, phases,

opportunities, challenges. Saturn, the lunar

eclipse, Uranus. Some of you will hurt

yourselves, or others, today. Everything will be

all right. Mercury, dark strangers, lottery

winnings. For those of you born on the cusp,

the full moon could mark the beginning of an

episode of psychosis. Everything will be all right.

Promotion, alignments, Venus in your house

squaring with Pluto. Your dog may require

euthanasia later in the week. Everything will be

all right. Frustration, crossroads, new horizons,

family matters, career, health. You may have to

take the day off work, as today could be the day

you admit your child into the local hospice for

respite care. Everything will be all right.

Conjunctions, opposites, your life path,

childhood, social life, parties. Expect an

invitation to attend the funeral of an old school

friend. Memories, partnerships, emotions.

Everything will be all right. Something about the

discovery of new planets and the downgrading

of old ones. The cycle of life. Changes in your

environment. The more senior amongst you may

be institutionalised  today. Everything will be

all right. Metaphorical doors, home improvements,

doors opening, doors closing, revolving doors.

The repetition of patterns of behaviour. Resist.

Your ruling planet goes partially retrograde

towards the end of the month. Some of you will

die. Everything’s going to be all right. Call or text

to find out why destiny wears red this Thursday.
