Ordinarily, you wouldn’t bother putting
yourself out today, given a recent rebuff. Anyway,
you’re not into hard labour. However, it looks like
certain situations will precipitate a bout of stress.
No matter. The obstacle in your way isn’t there for
you to stumble over, but a stepping stone. And
you’ve got plenty of licence. Call my Starline to
see why you could move mountains.

Regardless of what’s going on the
career front, another drama could be brought to
life. As a consequence, be prepared to react fast
today. True, someone may have abandoned you
temporarily. But the sanctity of friendship remains
as strong as ever. Yet at some point you must
consider removing yourself. Call my Starline
to see why your personal life is richly layered.

The great ice castle looms right ahead
and Rupert is afraid that they are going
to hit it when the wind eases off,
dropping him and Gregory into a deep
snowdrift. “Ooh, that was terrible!”
gasps Gregory, with his teeth chattering.
“Has all this happened just because I
blew that little whistle?” “I can’t think of
anything else that may have caused it,”
says Rupert. “Where did you put it?”
“It’s in my p-p-pocket,” Gregory shivers,
“but I’m f-f-freezing. My hands are too
c-c-c-cold to get it out!”

2) Place the pork chops on a board and
season both sides with salt and pepper. On
one side of each chop, press a couple of sage

ALAN’S TIP OF THE DAY: Sow coleus seeds on a warm, sunny windowsill indoors in a temperature
of 65F or more. Seedlings grow slowly. When they are big enough to handle, prick them out into small
individual pots and keep them warm while they continue growing. By May, you will have nice young
plants ready to put in the conservatory or in patio tubs.
A tricky aspect between Saturn and
Uranus suggests that you could be thrown off
course in a mad moment of passion or swept off
your feet. However, can’t others exist without all
this care and attention? Maybe you’re content to
mingle today and see what fate holds in store for
you. Call my Starline to see why your attentiveness
is greatly enhanced.

For some odd reason, you’ll possibly

nothing is beyond your capabilities. To add to the

to be calling you back today. Call my Starline to

Don’t be surprised if certain barriers
are put in your way, just as the finishing line
looked to be in sight. And don’t question various
arrangements, as there’s a purpose to everything.
In fact, you’re likely to be filled with wonderment
today - more so, because of what’s taking place

Perhaps you’ve made big plans you
want to share with someone. But as Saturn, your
ruler, is opposed by the erratic planet Uranus,
they could all fall apart, and at a surprising rate
that makes you look out of place in company. The
best course is to close your eyes today – or look
on in awe and hope for the best. Call my Starline
to see why you’ll get quite a reception.

A settlement could turn out to be much
higher than you’d anticipated. So you could still
feel rich. Recession? What recession? However,
someone’s become a personal liability and what
occurs next will have serious repercussions. But
even if the axe comes down hard, a profitable
change is forecast today. Call my Starline to see
why you can only gain.

This could well turn into a memorable
day of reckoning. And how! Really, it’s a case of
the carrot and stick, if harnessing the energies of
others is the secret to making a personal project
succeed. The moral here is that you must seize full
control over your financial destiny. Yet in certain
ways making money remains just a pastime. Call
my Starline to see why a gift is yours to spend.

A decisive aspect between Saturn in
Virgo and Uranus in Pisces has a most profound
impact. It could mean that others find you boring
and even the likelihood of loveliness vanishing
from your life. So watch out for a division today
– one that measures your personal ambitions
against a less serious type of person. Call my
Starline to see why others aren’t average.

Feb 20 – Mar 20
With Uranus in Pisces challenged by
Saturn, you’re not the only person who’s feeling
self-destructive. Yet you could be forgiven for going
ballistic today when someone makes a grave error
of judgment. However, your loyalty to a partner can
be trusted, even if you’re ordered about and your
actions taken literally. Call my Starline to see why
it’s fun to object.

fried the chops. Roughly chop the remaining
sage leaves and add to the pan with vinegar
and honey. Stir and cook for a few minutes on
a low heat until you have a sticky sauce.
8) Take the crackling out of the oven. Put the
asparagus in a bowl with the lemon juice, a
pinch of salt and pepper and a drizzle of extra
virgin olive oil, and toss together.
9) Serve the chops and asparagus with
a spoonful of apricot sauce and a bit of
crackling. Perfect with mashed potatoes.

Doreen Sherman,

from experience the
misery that cold feet
can bring.
She said: “All my
life, I have suffered
the agony of cold
feet, no matter what
type of socks or
insoles I wear.
“But since I started
using foil insoles, my
feet have been as
warm as toast.”
She added: “What’s
more, they are nice
and soft. I wish I had
known about them
years ago.”
