Dear Jonathan, I think you will find that Scorpios can be represented by 'grey lizards' as well as eagles. To me this makes a lot of sense.
Regards, Andy

Dear Jonathan,
I have heard people say that the bird that symbolises Scorpio is not an eagle but a phoenix, rising up from the ashes of crisis.
Yours etc., Amanda

Oh dear, what have I started?

Dear Rebecca,
Many astrologers use a technique called "progression". It assumes that the planetary positions we were born with creep forward over time. I don't personally find value in that particular idea. I believe your sign is your sign for life. Especially so with Capricorns, for people born under this sign of the sea-goat are like fine wines. The more they mature, the better they get.

Dear Judith,
Some people feel that everything in the sky has an influence on us. Even satellites and space shuttles, they believe, can alter our lives when flying overhead. This theory is especially popular among the hippies of Totnes, in Devon. Saturn's current alignment with the earth and Sun, though, IS the reason why the scientists chose this particular time to make the closest approach.

Dear Bob,
We can predict, thousands of years in advance, where a planet will be and how bright it will seem. Comets though, are erratic and quixotic. In April and May, twins were indeed expected. I saw one of them, fleetingly, during a trip to Australia. But the big show never materialised. Given the disruption that comets portend, that's probably just as well. Comets mean far less if they cannot be seen so the future now looks brighter than it did..
