Leader Magazine
SUMMER 1965.
THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS.
Many newspapers nowadays, have a regular future dealing with what the stars foretell. Not to be outdone, the LEADER has consulted its Duty Astrologer, who has just returned from a refresher course in crystal-gazing at the Army School of Wizardry. He has produced the following notes:
ARIES (the Ram, 21 Mar - 20 Apr). Many are born in Derbyshire. Gunners born under this sign often become members of field-gun crews. Forcing types, who batter away. All doors are open to them and they overcome all opposition. May be sheepish, but like Welsh girls.
Favourite dish: Welsh lamb.
TAURUS (the Bull, 21 Apr - 20 May). A snorter. Likes drill parades, and should achieve rapid promotion to Warrant rank. His kit is always immaculate. Likes fighting particularly in Spain. Should avoid the pottery hobby and shopkeepers.
Favourite colour: Red
GEMINI (the Twins, 21 May - 20 Jun). Many become astronauts. Fond of prictical jokes and impersonations, particularly during educational periods. Prefer to hunt in couples. Enjoy dressing alike, especially in uniform. Should make good company clarks as they enjoy duplication. They prefer to bathe in separate tubs.
Favourite vegetables: Peas.
CANCER (the Crab, 21 Jun - 21 Jul). Inclined to be bad-tempered. Always makes a sidewise approach to the subject. Like beaches in summer. Those from Boston are fond of wrestling and Judo, but should avoid Irishmen born under Scorpio. May expect a posting north of the Equator. Should avoid smoking.
Favourite dish: Seafood.
LEO (the Lion, 22 Jul - 21 Aug). very proud of his family. Some are very brave, others mere puppets. Likes teashops and corner-houses. May be selected to play for Rugby football teams touring overseas. A keen railway enthusiast. Hates big-game hunters.
Favourite initials: MGM
Favourite names: Daniel, Androcles.
VIRGO (the Virgin, 22 Aug - 21 Sep). May be wise or foolish, but should learn more about the birds and the bees. Likes jungles, snowy wastes and weddings. Girls living in Towyn or Barmouth, born under this sign should beware of men from Tonfanau born under Aries.
Favourite colour: White.
LIBRA (the Scales, 22 Sep - 20 Oct). Those born under this sign should rise to the rank of CQMS, and may even gain a commission as Quartermasters. Weighs every question and gives balanced judgement. Should avoid the Old Bailey. Should do well in the cookery hobby or as a ration storeman. Will do well on mountain scaling courses.
Favourite subject: Map-reading.
(Biblical note: King Nebuchadnezzar was probably born under this sign.)
SCORPIO (the Scorpion, 23 Oct - 21 Nov). Quick to take offence and make stinging retorts. Irishmen born under this sign are fond of wrestling and judo, but should avaid Bostonians born under Cancer. Should consider transfer to the RAF as a tail-gunner.
Favourite sport: Beagling, as a whip.
SAGITTARIUS (the Archer, 22 Nov - 20 Dec). On good terms with the BBC and very helpful to Welsh farmers. Always goes straight to the point. Many Scotsmen, Indians and anti-aircraft gunners are born under this sign.
Favourite sport: Toxophily.
Favourite colour: Gold.
Favourite towns: Nottingham, Ambridge and Manorbier.
CAPRICORNUS (the Goat, 21 Dec - 19 Jan). People who have been unwise enough to be born under this sign, have only themselves to thank when they receive a combined Christmas and birthday present. Should do well as markers on the range. Those who wish to grow beards should transfer to the Royal Navy. May expect a posting south of the Equator, possibly to Rhodesia. Hate Welsh sheep.
Favourite hobby: Baby-sitting.
AQUARIUS (the Water-carrier, 20 Jan - 18 Feb). In great demand when the camp water-supply fails. Enjoys fire-picket duty. Prefers soft to hard drinks, and should never go thirsty, especially on route marches. Limited opportunities in the MT section.
Favourite tune: RASC march.
Favourite poem: Gunga Din.
PISCES (the Fish, 19 Feb - 20 Mar). Sometimes a little odd and poverty-stricken. Likes pretty kettles. Possessed of a good brain, but apt to carp at things. Likes mermaids and aquaiums.
Favourite day: Friday
Favourite sport: Angling, often in troubled waters.
The Duty Astrologer says that this is the best he can do at the moment, as he has had to use his reserve crystal ball (the short-range one). His long-range crystal ball became snowed up last February and is still in the Armourer's Shop being repaired.
Of course, you can always apply at your company office and have your fortune told for nothing.
