It is my birthday. Here are some thoughts...

It's my birthday today. I was born at sunrise on sunday the 9th of August 1953. I had the sun in Leo, the moon in Leo, Leo on the ascendant and it was sunrise on a Sunday! That's an awful lot of sun to have in one birth chart.  In Chinese astrology it was the Year of the Snake.

I am now 58. I'm of the same generation as Tim Berners-Lee, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, Tony Blair, Johnny Rotten and Adam Ant.

My favourite number is polyglot. My favourite colour is something different from whatever it was 5 minutes ago. When I die I wish to be cremated and have my ashes thrown into the eyes of bankers and politicians.
