At the end of last month I shared the final installment of my World of the Zodiac tic-inspired prediction videos on YouTube, and in case you somehow missed them, you can watch all 12 here.

I thought that was going to be the end of it, until yesterday afternoon. Leftwing Idiot and I are both feeling a bit under the weather at the moment, so after lunch we went to a local café to get some delicious fresh juice to improve our health. The café was packed and we weren’t sure if we’d find a space. One of three young women who were sitting at a big round table in the middle of the room saw us looking around and offered us a seat. We thanked her, ordered our juices and chatted quietly while we waited.

After a few minutes we both became aware that the three women were deep in a very serious conversation about astrology and who would be compatible with who based on their star signs. They were drinking herbal tea and talking in hushed tones.

Grinning, Leftwing Idiot looked at me and started quoting phrases from my videos, like, “Gemini, let’s get serious about money…” I bit my lip, and glared back at him. It was taking all my willpower to stop myself joining in their discussion and blurting out what would almost certainly have been misleading advice to the young women.

I was relieved when my juice arrived and I could concentrate on that instead. We left before the three women, and as we trundled up the road I wondered if they’d moved on to reading their tea-leaves for further guidance.
