Legendary astrologer and author, Tad Mann has come up with some amazing revelations about the life and death of Diana. All come from the writings of 16th century Astrologer and Seer, Nostradamus.

• Diana "..The lady, furious, in an adulterous rage, will come to conspire not to speak to her Prince." Wasn't this Diana's reaction to Prince Charles's adultery?
• Prince Charles - "..the great and hated prince.."
• Dodi "..last son of the man with the prophet's name will bring Diana to her day of rest." Dodi's father has the prophet Mohamed's name.
• Charles, Earl Spencer "[Diana] obscured in deep gloom, her brother becomes bright red in colour." Red with anger at the press or embarrassment at his divorce exposés.
• Prince Harry "The younger son of a great and hated prince,.. His mother will die of grief, very sad and thin,....". Is there a special destiny for Harry?
• Paparazzi - "In the city of Paris, ...young thugs roam the streets like wolves..."
• Diana's grave "silver of Diana...the images will be found in the lake..." Prediction of a magnificent and innovative statue of Diana?
• Conspirators? "The great one hidden for a long time in the shadows, will hold the blade in the bloody wound."

Did you ever remember Gunter Sacks? He was the German playboy millionaire who famously dated Bridget Bardot in the sixties.

Well, it now appears that Gunter is more than just debonaire man-about-town. Of course he is older and wiser. But we now discover that silver-haired Gunter is an experienced mathematician. Gunter has been testing out astrology using Swiss birth data. Having removed all possibilities of bias, he has come up with results which reaffirm standard astrological theory. More Libras opt to study law than any other sign. Leo tends to die of strokes. [BTW I think this says more about the importance for Leos to be the centre of their world and to look after their heart. Perhaps Leos who are not appreciated and loved are the ones who are more likely to die of a broken heart.]

Granada TV Manchester asked me to join a debate with sceptics, and astronomers on Gunter's new book. I declined - I've had enough TV debates this year and the trip to Manchester with over night accommodation is a day and a half. Good luck to the Manchester astrologers who are going. Astronomer, Jacqueline Mitton [inventor of 13th sign!] isn't so tough on astrologers - she just wants them to be a bit more professional and not pretend to be scientists. I think she has a point! She recently learnt about Pluto when she co-authored an astronomy book about the planet. Strong feelings surfaced.

Pulp Fiction! For the first time in it's 200 year history, publishers Foulsham has decided to re-print Old Moore's Almanack. [A compendium of astrological 'predictions', general lore and general information and ephemera like the Tides or Saint's Days.] The official reason is that in response to the sudden death of Diana, Princess of Wales, they decided to add a special feature on the two young princes, William and Harry. But I can't help wondering that it might have something to do with the possibility that the original 1998 edition is full of comments about the Diana finding happiness and a new role. After all no forecast would have been complete without some mention of the world's most famous woman.

Perhaps this isn't fair to Foulsham's MD the urbane Barry Belasco and his charming team. To give them their due, Old Moore did see a very difficult time for Diana at the critical 1997 Virgo eclipse. The predictions are written nearly a year in advance. And no good astrologer would attempt to predict the death of anyone.

And what OM wrote is about as good as it gets...

"The full moon on 18th falls in Aquarius opposing the royal Regulus [fixed star in sign of Leo]. There could be public attacks on the Queen and Prince of Wales.
The full moon falls on Princess Diana's moon, indicating a stressful moment, with arguments between her and the rest of the Royal Family..."

I'm looking for evidence of Pluto in Sagittarius - news stories, current thought, speech, fashion. contact us me with your ideas.

Besides the power vested in sports (see Tiger Woods on sport and Pluto in Sag.), the creeping influence of the planet comes up as a fourth shop selling trainers moves into Neal Street, Covent Garden (location of the Astrology Shop). And though some of the shoes look gross, there's no shortage of people to buy them and these are traders with the money to keep the rents high. Sports clothes remain as high fashion. More power to sport.

Road rage has featured much in the press since Pluto entered Sagittarius. I would expect the most likely candidates for 'road ragers' are those with planets (especially Mars) in Sagittarius or Gemini.

Show me the Money!

Having heard this catch phrase seven times in Jerry Maguire with Tom Cruise, you start to get the message about Pluto in Sagittarius. Jerry is hit by a St.Paul and Damascus like realisation that he must transform from a ruthless and mercenary sports promoter to a more ethical and rounded approach. He sets it out in a corporate memo - NO!.... Mission Statement!

The film succeeds by echoing our individual struggles with Pluto in Sag. That mission is to be successful in our quest and yet to remain honourable. We are urged to seek something higher like sporting success for something other than pure material gain.

This was one of the strangest reports to come out in the press recently - and there are a lot of weird items in the media nowadays. (With the notable exception of Life Magazine on astrology - quality stuff!)

A scientist in Palo Alto had found that in testing ESP, subjects were four times more successful at around 13.30 sidereal time when 24 degrees of Libra is overhead.
