Dear Claire,
At New Year, many of us do things we don't recall, especially when it gets to 6am! Maybe that explains it all in this case... and maybe not. I still predict that 2006 will be a year full of inexplicable experiences.

Dear Dee,
What if there were something wrong with your car, which, if that small accident hadn't happened, could have led to a bigger one? What if that relationship were an 'emotional time-bomb' that you are lucky to be free from? Sometimes, bad things happen for good reasons. It still is due to be a great year.

Dear John,
I was wondering how long it would be before someone asked. During the last season of Standstills in 1988/9, 417 crop circles were reported in Britain. The famous hoaxers, Doug and Dave, can't have made them all; far less the ones in Australia, Canada, the USA and even India. Regardless of what they really are, I do predict they are on their way back!

Dear Kate,
It may be a part of the explanation, but every parent/child relationship, no matter how good, has to go through a difficult rite of passage when the child starts to assert their own independence. Take it in your stride and it won't last too long.

I grew up with two younger brothers who are twins, born under Aquarius. Then, fourteen years ago this week, I became the proud father of a pair of twins who are also Aquarians! From this, you might conclude that I now know quite a bit about what people born under this sign have in common. Aquarians though, dislike the idea that they might be like other Aquarians. They work hard, from an early age, to deliberately develop unique, eccentric character traits and if they are twins, they work twice as hard! After years of close study though, I have noticed that despite their best efforts to prove that they don't fit any astrological mould, they still tend to face similar challenges at similar times. The details of their dramas may be different but the principles are often much the same.
