Well, maybe…but not for everybody, because our stars turn clockkwise for some and widdershins for others. 2009 is numerically interesting because its prime factors are 7,7,41 or 41×49, but the year itself, though not a prime, holds 29 and 11– both primes – in its heart. Horoscopes may foretell our future or not. They outline possibillities, which we can turn into probabilities and realisations – if and when we believe in them.I looked up the first horoscope for the year that opened for me in an obscure provincial weekly and this is what it predicted for everybody, like me, born in the sign of Virgo. The year will be full of mysteries and surprises (I hope so). In the Spring I will learn that even when two people look in the same direction, they rarely see the same thing (true). I am advised to be on my guard because appearances may be deceptive. I should be wary when meeting new people and it will time to review old acquaintances (those virtual ones, I think. Others have disappeared) A nice surprise for the mid-year: an unexpected long journey (other world?). In the autumn – promotion and big financial gains. That is bad news (promotion at my age?) and good news (my bank will not go bankrupt after all). In the affairs of heart I should not count any longer on love at first sight. As lust at first sight is also unlikely, it looks a rather emotionally peaceful year. Happy New Year to all who visit here.
