IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY, AND BOB'S GIFT IS TO SHINE HIS PSYCHIC SPOTLIGHT ON YOUR WORKING MONTH'S MINUTIAE

• Fri 1st - Fri 8th: Months that begin on Fridays are great, all astrologers know that, and any that say otherwise are incompetent or jealous at not being voted 1996 Seer of the Year by a highly prestigious organisation. So relax, it'll be fun.
• Sat 9th - Sun 10th: A lovely weekend, provided you're not on call, in the office, visiting extended family, at a sporting event, entertaining children, gardening or shopping.
• Mon 11th - Fri 15th: Cancel Wednesday's breakfast meeting or learn to eat croissants without looking like a three-year old. Insist Office Amenities sort your chair out, Neptune looks grim for spinal columns. Don't take no for an answer.
• Sat 16th - Sat 23rd: Co-ruler Mars transits your ninth sector this week. Just thought you should know really.
• Mon 25th - Fri 29th: Interesting! Career goals were never more sharply delineated. News from a foreign city brings hope of advancement, a rival offers to make peace with you and there's talk of a bigger car and a pay-rise to stop you from wandering.
• Sat 30th - Sun 1st: Not to put too fine a point on it, all your chart says this weekend is sex, sex and more of it. Screams it, in fact. Better get on to Office Amenities again because if ever you needed a straight back it's now.

Bob's Career Tip: Have a baby and take time off. Hey, it's only work!
