Dear Gill,
Simply by seeing and expressing a desire for this house, you have already, effectively, placed your cosmic order. The universe will help you if it can, but it cannot make someone change their mind to suit you. You'll get your request granted only if the owners secretly want (or need) to sell. This may be so. You never know. But if you get no joy, ask the universe to steer you towards another equally ideal place.

Dear Sue,
Cosmic Ordering is just another word for asking your higher self, your guardian angel, your lucky star or even your creator for help! It doesn't matter what you call it. If you're reaching out humbly to the universe for invisible intervention, you're doing something powerful and positive that's highly likely to work.

Dear Elizabeth,
Sorry. I was talking about scientific concepts such as 'The Big Bang'. Some people use such theories rather like cowboys use whips - to tame the bucking bronco of eternal incomprehensibility. Really, though, when I said 'We don't go on forever', all I actually meant... was that we don't go on exactly as we currently are!

Dear Kim,
Lightning may seem like a dangerous, angry force but it can be a very positive symbol too. You were clearly singled out by the sky for special attention! I suspect it's a heavenly invitation to wake up and re-assess some of your priorities.

Watch out, this week, for shooting stars. Between now and the end of the month, we may see quite a few as our jouney round the Sun takes us through the region where the "Delta Aquarid" meteors congregate. In many different lands people traditionally read great meaning into these celestial firework shows. Some see them as the spirits of departing souls, going to take their place in the heavens. Others believe them to be the product of a fire-breathing dragon. In our own culture, we tend to see such brief, bright streaks of light as rare, auspicious omens on sight of which, rather like four-leafed clovers... we are entitled to make a heartfelt wish.
